Ruth 1
1 Wakati Waamuzi walipotawala Israeli, kulikuwa na njaa katika nchi. Mtu mmoja kutoka nchi ya Bethlehemu ya Yuda, pamoja na mke wake na wanawe wawili, akaenda kuishi katika nchi ya Moabu.
and to be in/on/with day to judge [the] to judge and to be famine in/on/with land: country/planet and to go: went man from Bethlehem Bethlehem Judah to/for to sojourn in/on/with land: country Moab he/she/it and woman: wife his and two son: child his
2 Mtu huyu aliitwa Elimeleki, mkewe aliitwa Naomi, na hao wanawe wawili waliitwa Maloni na Kilioni. Walikuwa Waefrathi kutoka Bethlehemu ya Yuda. Wakaenda katika nchi ya Moabu, wakaishi huko.
and name [the] man Elimelech and name woman: wife his Naomi and name two son: child his Mahlon and Chilion Ephrathite from Bethlehem Bethlehem Judah and to come (in): come land: country Moab and to be there
3 Elimeleki mumewe Naomi akafa, hivyo Naomi akabaki na wanawe wawili.
and to die Elimelech man: husband Naomi and to remain he/she/it and two son: child her
4 Nao wakaoa wanawake Wamoabu, jina la mmoja aliitwa Orpa, na wa pili aliitwa Ruthu. Baada ya kama miaka kumi,
and to lift: marry to/for them woman: wife Moabite name [the] one Orpah and name [the] second Ruth and to dwell there like/as ten year
5 Maloni na Kilioni pia wakafa. Basi Naomi akabaki hana mume wala wanawe wawili.
and to die also two their Mahlon and Chilion and to remain [the] woman from two youth her and from man: husband her
6 Aliposikia akiwa huko Moabu kwamba Bwana amewasaidia watu wake kwa kuwapa chakula, Naomi na wakweze wakajiandaa kurudi nyumbani.
and to arise: rise he/she/it and daughter-in-law her and to return: return from land: country Moab for to hear: hear in/on/with land: country Moab for to reckon: visit LORD [obj] people his to/for to give: give to/for them food
7 Yeye na wakweze wawili wakaondoka pale walipokuwa wakiishi na kushika njia kurudi nchi ya Yuda.
and to come out: come from [the] place which to be there [to] and two daughter-in-law her with her and to go: went in/on/with way: journey to/for to return: return to(wards) land: country/planet Judah
8 Ndipo Naomi akawaambia wale wakwe zake wawili, “Rudini, kila mmoja wenu nyumbani kwa mama yake. Bwana na awatendee fadhili kama mlivyowatendea hao waliofariki, na pia mimi.
and to say Naomi to/for two daughter-in-law her to go: went to return: return woman: another to/for house: household mother her (to make: do *Q(K)*) LORD with you kindness like/as as which to make: do with [the] to die and with me
9 Bwana na amjalie kila mmoja wenu maisha mema nyumbani kwa mume mwingine.” Kisha akawabusu, nao wakalia kwa sauti kubwa,
to give: give LORD to/for you and to find resting woman: another house: household man: husband her and to kiss to/for them and to lift: loud voice their and to weep
10 wakamwambia, “Tutarudi pamoja na wewe nyumbani kwa watu wako.”
and to say to/for her for with you to return: return to/for people your
11 Lakini Naomi akasema, “Rudini nyumbani, binti zangu. Kwa nini mnifuate? Je, mimi nitaweza tena kuwa na wana wengine ambao wataweza kuwaoa ninyi?
and to say Naomi to return: return daughter my to/for what? to go: went with me still to/for me son: child in/on/with belly my and to be to/for you to/for human
12 Rudini nyumbani, binti zangu; mimi ni mzee kiasi kwamba siwezi kumpata mume mwingine. Hata kama ningefikiria kuwa bado kuna tumaini kwangu, hata kama ningekuwa na mume usiku huu na kuwazaa wana,
to return: return daughter my to go: went for be old from to be to/for man: husband for to say there to/for me hope also to be [the] night to/for man: husband and also to beget son: child
13 je, mngesubiri mpaka wakue? Mngebakia bila kuolewa mkiwasubiri? La, hasha, binti zangu. Nimepata uchungu kuliko ninyi, kwa sababu mkono wa Bwana umekuwa kinyume nami!”
therefore to await till which to magnify therefore to refrain to/for lest to be to/for man: husband not daughter my for to provoke to/for me much from you for to come out: come in/on/with me hand LORD
14 Kisha wakalia tena kwa sauti. Orpa akambusu mama mkwe wake, akaenda zake, lakini Ruthu akaambatana naye.
and to lift: loud voice their and to weep still and to kiss Orpah to/for mother-in-law her and Ruth to cleave in/on/with her
15 Naomi akamwambia, “Tazama, mwenzako anarejea kwa watu wake na kwa miungu yake. Rudi pamoja naye.”
and to say behold to return: return sister-in-law your to(wards) people her and to(wards) God her to return: return after sister-in-law your
16 Lakini Ruthu akajibu, “Usinisihi nikuache au niache kukufuata. Utakakokwenda nami nitakwenda, na wewe utakapoishi nitaishi. Watu wako watakuwa watu wangu, na Mungu wako atakuwa Mungu wangu.
and to say Ruth not to fall on in/on/with me to/for to leave: forsake you to/for to return: turn back from after you for to(wards) which to go: went to go: went and in/on/with in which to lodge to lodge people your people my and God your God my
17 Pale utakapofia nami nitafia hapo, na papo hapo nitazikwa. Bwana na aniadhibu vikali, kama kitu kingine chochote kitanitenga nawe isipokuwa kifo.”
in/on/with in which to die to die and there to bury thus to make: do LORD to/for me and thus to add for [the] death to separate between me and between you
18 Naomi alipotambua kwamba Ruthu amenuia kufuatana naye, hakuendelea kumsihi tena.
and to see: see for to strengthen he/she/it to/for to go: went with her and to cease to/for to speak: speak to(wards) her
19 Kwa hiyo hao wanawake wawili wakaondoka, wakafika Bethlehemu. Walipofika Bethlehemu, mji mzima ulitaharuki, wanawake wakashangaa, wakasema, “Huyu aweza kuwa ni Naomi?”
and to go: went two their till to come (in): come they Bethlehem Bethlehem and to be like/as to come (in): come they Bethlehem Bethlehem and to make noise all [the] city upon them and to say this Naomi
20 Akawaambia, “Msiniite tena Naomi, niiteni Mara, kwa sababu Mwenyezi amenitendea mambo machungu sana.
and to say to(wards) them not to call: call by to/for me Naomi to call: call by to/for me Mara for to provoke Almighty to/for me much
21 Mimi niliondoka hali nimejaa, lakini Bwana amenirudisha mtupu. Kwa nini kuniita Naomi? Bwana amenitendea mambo machungu; Mwenyezi ameniletea msiba.”
I full to go: went and emptily to return: return me LORD to/for what? to call: call by to/for me Naomi and LORD to answer in/on/with me and Almighty be evil to/for me
22 Kwa hiyo Naomi alirudi pamoja na Ruthu Mmoabu mkwe wake, nao wakafika Bethlehemu mwanzoni mwa kuvuna shayiri.
and to return: return Naomi and Ruth [the] Moabite daughter-in-law her with her [the] to return: return from land: country Moab and they(masc.) to come (in): come Bethlehem Bethlehem in/on/with beginning harvest barley
