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 judged, that there was a famine in the land: and there went a certain man of Beth-lechem-judah to sojourn in the fields 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 Na'omi, and the name of his two sons Machlon and Kilyon, Ephrathites of Beth-lechem-judah. And they came into the fields of Moab, and remained there.
3 At si Elimelech na asawa ni Noemi ay namatay: at siya'y naiwan at ang kaniyang dalawang anak.
Thereupon died Elimelech Na'omi's husband; and she was left, with 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 themselves wives of the women of Moab; the name of one was 'Orpah, and the name of the other Ruth: and they dwelt 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 then died also both of these, Machlon and Kilyon, and the woman was left [deprived] of her two children and 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.
Then did she arise with her daughters-in-law, and returned homeward from the fields of Moab; for she had heard in the fields of Moab that the Lord had thought of his people in giving 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.
Therefore she went forth out of the place where she had been, and her two daughters-in-law [were] with her; and they went on their way to return unto 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.
Then said Na'omi unto her two daughters-in-law, Go, return each one to her mother's house: may the Lord 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.
May the Lord grant unto you that ye may find rest, each one in the house of her husband. Then 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 unto her, [No, ] for truly we will return with thee unto 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?
Then said Na'omi, Return back, my daughters; why will ye go with me? are there yet any more sons in my womb, that they may become 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 back, my daughters, go; for I am too old to become [the wife] of any man; yea, if I were even to think, I have hope; should I even obtain this night a husband, and should 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 in hopes for them till they were grown? would ye debar yourselves for them so as not to become the wives of any man? not so, my daughters; for I feel much more bitter pain than you; because the hand of the Lord 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 a long time; and Orpah kissed her mother-in-law; but Ruth cleaved unto 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 returned back unto her people, and unto her gods; return thou 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:
But Ruth said, Urge me not to leave thee, to return from following thee; for whither thou goest, will I go; and where thou lodgest, will I 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; may the Lord do so to me, and may he so continue, if aught but death shall part me from thee.
18 At nang makita ni Noemi na mapilit ng pagsama sa kaniya, ay tumigil ng pagsasalita sa kaniya.
When she thus saw that she was persisting to go with her, she left off speaking unto 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?
So these two went until they came to Beth-lechem. And it came to pass, when they entered Beth-lechem, that all the city was in commotion about them, and people said, Is this Na'omi?
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 unto them, Call me not Na'omi, call me Mara; for the Almighty hath 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, but empty hath the Lord brought me home again; why then will ye call me Na'omi, seeing the Lord hath testified against me, and the Almighty hath sent me affliction?
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 did Na'omi return, and Ruth the Moabitess, her daughter-in-law, with her, who had returned out of the fields of Moab; and they came to Beth-lechem at the beginning of the barley-harvest.
