Ruth 1
1 Nangyari ito noong mga araw nang ang mga hukom ay namahala na nagkaroon ng taggutom doon, at isang tiyak na lalaki ng Bethlehem ng Juda ang pumunta sa bansa ng Moab kasama ang kaniyang asawa at kaniyang dalawang anak na lalaki.
It happened in the days when the judges ruled that there was a famine in the land, and a certain man of Bethlehem of Judah went to the country of Moab with his wife and his two sons.
2 Elimelek ang pangalan ng lalaki at Naomi ang pangalan ng kaniyang asawa. Ang pangalan ng kaniyang dalawang anak na lalaki ay sina Mahlon at Quelion, na mga Efrateo na taga-Bethlehem-Juda. Nakarating sila sa bansa ng Moab at nanirahan doon.
The name of the man was Elimelek, and the name of his wife was Naomi. The names of his two sons were Mahlon and Kilion, who were Ephrathites of Bethlehem of Judah. They arrived at the country of Moab and lived there.
3 Pagkatapos namatay si Elimelek na asawa ni Naomi, at naiwan siyang kasama ng kaniyang dalawang anak na lalaki.
Then Elimelek, Naomi's husband, died, and she was left with her two sons.
4 Itong mga anak na lalaki ay kumuha ng mga asawa mula sa mga kababaihan ng Moab; ang pangalan ng isa ay Orpa at ang pangalan ng isa pa ay Ruth. Nanirahan sila roon nang halos sampung taon.
These sons took wives from the women of Moab; the name of one was Orpah, and the name of the other was Ruth. They lived there for about ten years.
5 Pagkatapos parehong namatay sina Mahlon at Quelion, kaya naiwan si Naomi wala ang kaniyang asawa at wala ang kaniyang dalawang anak.
Then both Mahlon and Kilion died, leaving Naomi without her husband and without her two children.
6 Pagkatapos nagpasya si Naomi na umalis ng Moab kasama ang kaniyang mga manugang at bumalik sa Juda dahil narinig niya sa rehiyon ng Maob na tinulungan ni Yahweh ang kaniyang bayan na nangangailangan at binigyan sila ng pagkain.
Then Naomi decided to leave Moab with her daughters-in-law and return to Judah because she had heard in the region of Moab that Yahweh had helped his people in need and had given them food.
7 Kaya umalis siya sa lugar kung saan siya naroon kasama ang kaniyang mga manugang na babae at naglakad sila pababa sa daan para bumalik sa lupain ng Juda.
So she left the place where she had been with her two daughters-in-law, and they walked down the road to return to the land of Judah.
8 Sinabi ni Naomi sa kaniyang dalawang manugang na babae, “Lumakad, bumalik, kayo bawat isa sa inyo, sa bahay ng inyong ina. Nawa ipakita ni Yahweh ang kabaitan sa inyo, tulad ng pagpapakita ninyo ng katapatan sa namatay at sa akin.
Naomi said to her two daughters-in-law, “Go, return, each of you, to your mother's house. May Yahweh show kindness toward you, as you have shown kindness toward the dead and toward me.
9 Nawa idulot sa inyo ng Panginoon ang pahinga, bawat isa sa inyo sa bahay ng panibagong asawa.” Pagkatapos hinalikan niya sila at nagtaas sila ng mga boses at umiyak.
May the Lord grant you that you find rest, each of you in the house of another husband.” Then she kissed them, and they raised their voices and cried.
10 Sinabi nila sa kaniya, “Hindi! Babalik kami kasama mo sa iyong lahi.”
They said to her, “No! We will return with you to your people.”
11 Pero sinabi ni Naomi, “Bumalik kayo, aking mga anak! Bakit kayo sasama sa akin? May mga anak pa ba ako sa aking sinapupunan para sa inyo, para maging asawa ninyo?
But Naomi said, “Turn back, my daughters! Why will you go with me? Do I still have sons in my womb for you, so that they may become your husbands?
12 Bumalik kayo, aking mga anak, lumakad sa sarili ninyong landas dahil ako ay napakatanda na para magkaroon ng asawa. Kung sabihin ko, “Umaasa akong makakuha ako ng asawa ngayong gabi,' at pagkatapos magsilang ng mga anak na lalaki,
Turn back, my daughters, go your own way, for I am too old to have a husband. If I said, 'I hope I get a husband tonight,' and then give birth to sons,
13 kung gayon maghihintay pa ba kayo hanggang lumaki sila? Maghihintay pa ba kayo at hindi magpapakasal sa mga lalaki ngayon? Huwag, mga anak ko! Ito ay higit na magpapahirap sa akin kaysa magpapahirap sa inyo, dahil bumaling laban sa akin ang kamay ni Yahweh.
would you therefore wait until they were grown? Would you choose not to marry a husband? No, my daughters! It is exceedingly bitter to me for your sake that the hand of Yahweh has gone out against me.”
14 Pagkatapos ang kaniyang mga manugang ay nagtaas ng kanilang mga boses at muling umiyak. Hinalikan ni Orpah ang kaniyang biyenan nang may pamamaalam, pero si Ruth ay nanatili sa kaniya.
Then her daughters-in-law lifted up their voices and cried again. Orpah kissed her mother-in-law farewell, but Ruth held on to her.
15 Sinabi ni Naomi, “Makinig ka, ang hipag mo ay bumalik na sa kaniyang bayan at sa kaniyang mga diyos! Bumalik ka kasama ang iyong hipag.”
Naomi said, “Listen, your sister-in-law has gone back to her people and to her gods. Go back with your sister-in-law.”
16 Pero sinabi ni Ruth, “Huwag mo akong palayuin mula sa iyo, sapagkat kung saan ka pupunta, doon ako pupunta; kung saan ka titira, doon ako titira; ang iyong bayan ay magiging aking bayan, at ang iyong Diyos ay magiging aking Diyos.
But Ruth said, “Do not make me go away from you, for where you go, I will go; where you stay, I will stay; your people will be my people, and your God will be my God.
17 Kung saan ka mamamatay, doon ako mamamatay at doon din ako ililibing. Nawa parusahan ako ni Yahweh, at kahit higit pa, kung anuman pero kamatayan kailanman ang magpahiwalay sa atin.
Where you die, I will die, and there I will be buried. May Yahweh punish me, and even more, if anything but death ever separates us.”
18 Nang makita ni Naomi na nagpasya nang sumama si Ruth sa kanya, tumigil na siyang makipagtalo sa kaniya.
When Naomi saw that Ruth was determined to go with her, she stopped arguing with her.
19 Kaya naglakbay ang dalawa hanggang makarating sila sa bayan ng Bethlehem. Nangyari ito nang dumating sila sa Bethlehem, ang buong bayan ay sobrang nagulat tungkol sa kanila. Sinabi ng mga kababaihan, “Ito ba si Naomi?”
So the two traveled until they came to the town of Bethlehem. It happened that when they arrived in Bethlehem, the entire town was very excited about them. The women said, “Is this Naomi?”
20 Pero sinabi niya sa kanila, “Huwag ako tawaging Naomi. Tawagin akong Maramdamin, dahil ang Maykapal ay sobrang nagdaramdam sa akin.
But she said to them, “Do not call me Naomi. Call me Bitter, for the Almighty has dealt very bitterly with me.
21 Lumabas akong puno pero muli akong ibinalik ni Yahweh sa bahay ng walang dala. Kaya bakit tinatawag ninyo akong Naomi, nakikitang hinatulan ako ni Yahweh, na pinahirapan ako ng Maykapal?”
I went out full, but Yahweh has brought me home again empty. So why do you call me Naomi, seeing Yahweh has condemned me, that the Almighty has afflicted me?”
22 Kaya sina Naomi at Ruth na Moabita, na kaniyang manugang, ay bumalik mula sa bansa ng Moab. Dumating sila sa Bethlehem sa simula ng pag-aani ng sebada.
So Naomi and Ruth the Moabite woman, her daughter-in-law, returned from the country of Moab. They came to Bethlehem at the beginning of the barley harvest.
