Ruth 1
1 At nangyari nang mga kaarawan nang humatol ang mga hukom, na nagkagutom sa lupain. At isang lalaking taga Bethlehem-juda ay yumaong nakipamayan sa lupain ng Moab, siya, at ang kaniyang asawa, at ang kaniyang dalawang anak na lalake.
And it came to pass in the days when the judges ruled, that there was a famine in the land. And a certain man went from Bethlehem-Judah, to sojourn in the country of Moab, he, and his wife, and his two sons.
2 At ang pangalan ng lalake ay Elimelech, at ang pangalan ng kaniyang asawa ay Noemi, at ang pangalan ng kaniyang dalawang anak ay Mahalon at Chelion, mga Ephrateo na taga Bethlehem-juda. At sila'y naparoon sa lupain ng Moab, at nanirahan doon.
And the name of the man was Elimelech, and the name of his wife Naomi, and the name of his two sons Mahlon and Chilion, Ephrathites of Bethlehem-Judah. And they came into the country of Moab, and continued there.
3 At si Elimelech na asawa ni Noemi ay namatay: at siya'y naiwan at ang kaniyang dalawang anak.
And Elimelech Naomi's husband died; and she was left, and her two sons.
4 At sila'y nagsipagasawa sa mga babae sa Moab; ang pangalan ng isa'y Orpha, at ang pangalan ng isa'y Ruth: at sila'y tumahan doon na may sangpung taon.
And they took them Moabitish wives; the name of the one was Orpah, and the name of the second Ruth: and they abode there about ten years.
5 At namatay kapuwa si Mahalon at si Chelion; at ang babae ay naiwan ng kaniyang dalawang anak at ng kaniyang asawa.
And Mahlon and Chilion died also, both of them; and the woman was left of her two children and of her husband.
6 Nang magkagayo'y bumangon siya na kasama ng kaniyang dalawang manugang upang siya'y bumalik mula sa lupain ng Moab: sapagka't kaniyang nabalitaan sa lupain ng Moab kung paanong dinalaw ng Panginoon ang kaniyang bayan sa pagbibigay sa kanila ng tinapay.
And she arose, she and her daughters-in-law, and returned from the fields of Moab; for she had heard in the fields of Moab how that Jehovah had visited his people to give them bread.
7 At siya'y umalis sa dakong kaniyang kinaroroonan, at ang kaniyang dalawang manugang na kasama niya: at sila'y yumaon upang bumalik sa lupain ng Juda.
Wherefore she went forth out of the place where she had been, and her two daughters-in-law with her; and they went on the way to return to the land of Judah.
8 At sinabi ni Noemi sa kaniyang dalawang manugang, Kayo'y yumaon, na bumalik ang bawa't isa sa inyo sa bahay ng kaniyang ina: gawan nawa kayo ng magaling ng Panginoon, na gaya ng inyong ginawa sa mga namatay at sa akin.
And Naomi said to her two daughters-in-law, Go, return each to her mother's house. Jehovah deal kindly with you, as ye have dealt with the dead and with me.
9 Ipagkaloob nawa ng Panginoon na kayo'y makasumpong ng kapahingahan, bawa't isa sa inyo sa bahay ng kaniyang asawa. Nang magkagayo'y kaniyang hinagkan sila; at inilakas nila ang kanilang tinig at nagsiiyak.
Jehovah grant you that ye may find rest, each in the house of her husband. And she kissed them; and they lifted up their voice and wept.
10 At sinabi nila sa kaniya, Hindi, kundi kami ay babalik na kasama mo sa iyong bayan.
And they said to her, We will certainly return with thee to thy people.
11 At sinabi ni Noemi, Kayo'y magsibalik, mga anak ko: bakit kayo'y yayaong kasama ko? may mga anak pa ba ako sa aking tiyan, na magiging inyong mga asawa?
And Naomi said, Return, my daughters: why will ye go with me? Are there yet sons in my womb, that they could be your husbands?
12 Kayo'y magsibalik, mga anak ko, magpatuloy kayo ng inyong lakad; sapagka't ako'y totoong matanda na upang magkaroon pa ng asawa. Kung aking sabihin, Ako'y may pagasa, kung ako'y magkaasawa man ngayong gabi, at ako'y magkakaanak man;
Return, my daughters, go; for I am too old to have a husband. If I should say, I have hope, should I even have a husband to-night, and should I also bear sons,
13 Maghihintay kaya kayo hanggang sa sila'y lumaki? magbabawa kaya kayo na magkaasawa? huwag, mga anak ko: sapagka't daramdamin kong mainam dahil sa inyo, sapagka't ang kamay ng Panginoon ay nanaw laban sa akin.
would ye wait on that account till they were grown? Would ye stay on that account from having husbands? No, my daughters, for I am in much more bitterness than you; for the hand of Jehovah is gone out against me.
14 At inilakas nila ang kanilang tinig at nagsiiyak uli; at hinagkan ni Orpha ang kaniyang biyanan; nguni't si Ruth ay yumakap sa kaniya.
And they lifted up their voice and wept again. And Orpah kissed her mother-in-law, but Ruth clave to her.
15 At sinabi niya, Narito, ang iyong hipag ay bumalik na sa kaniyang bayan, at sa kaniyang dios; bumalik kang sumunod sa iyong hipag.
And she said, Behold, thy sister-in-law is gone back to her people and to her gods: return after thy sister-in-law.
16 At sinabi ni Ruth, Huwag mong ipamanhik na kita'y iwan, at bumalik na humiwalay sa iyo; sapagka't kung saan ka pumaroon, ay paroroon ako: at kung saan ka tumigil, ay titigil ako: ang iyong bayan ay magiging aking bayan, at ang iyong Dios ay aking Dios:
And Ruth said, Do not intreat me to leave thee, to return from [following] after thee; for whither thou goest I will go, and where thou lodgest I will lodge: thy people shall be my people, and thy God my God;
17 Kung saan ka mamatay, ay mamamatay ako, at doon ako ililibing; hatulan ako ng Panginoon at lalo na, maliban ang kamatayan ang maghiwalay sa iyo at sa akin.
where thou diest will I die, and there will I be buried. Jehovah do so to me, and more also, if aught but death part me and thee!
18 At nang makita ni Noemi na mapilit ng pagsama sa kaniya, ay tumigil ng pagsasalita sa kaniya.
And when she saw that she was stedfastly minded to go with her, she left off speaking to her.
19 Sa gayo'y yumaon silang dalawa hanggang sa sila'y dumating sa Bethlehem. At nangyari, nang sila'y dumating sa Bethlehem, na ang buong bayan ay napataka sa kanila; at sinabi ng mga babae, Ito ba'y si Noemi?
And they two went until they came to Bethlehem. And it came to pass, when they came to Bethlehem, that all the city was moved about them, and the [women] said, Is this Naomi?
20 At sinabi niya sa kanila, Huwag na ninyo akong tawaging Noemi, tawagin ninyo akong Mara: sapagka't ginawan ako ng kapaitpaitan ng Makapangyarihan sa lahat.
And she said to them, Call me not Naomi — call me Mara; for the Almighty has dealt very bitterly with me.
21 Ako'y umalis na puno, at ako'y iniuwi ng Panginoon na walang dala. Bakit ninyo ako tinatawag na Noemi, yamang ang Panginoon ay nagpatotoo laban sa akin, at dinalamhati ako ng Makapangyarihan sa lahat?
I went out full, and Jehovah has brought me home again empty. Why do ye call me Naomi, seeing Jehovah has brought me low, and the Almighty has afflicted me?
22 Sa gayo'y nagsibalik si Noemi at si Ruth na Moabita, na kaniyang manugang na kasama niya, na nagsibalik mula sa lupain ng Moab: at sila'y nagsidating sa Bethlehem sa pasimula ng pagaani ng sebada.
So Naomi returned, and Ruth the Moabitess, her daughter-in-law, with her, who returned out of the fields of Moab; and they came to Bethlehem in the beginning of the barley-harvest.
