< Ruth 1 >

1 Now it came to pass in the days when the judges ruled, that there was a famine in the land. And a certain man of Bethlehemjudah went to sojourn in the country of Moab, he, and his wife, and his two sons.
A IA i ka wa i noho ai na lunakanawai i alii wi iho la ka aina, a hele aku la kekahi kanaka no Betelehemaiuda, e noho ma ka aina i Moaba, oia a me kana wahine, a me kana mau keikikane elua.
2 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 Bethlehemjudah. And they came into the country of Moab, and continued there.
O Elimeleka ka inoa o ua kanaka la, a o Naomi ka inoa o kana wahine, o Mahelona ma laua o Kiliona, na inoa o kana mau keikikane; no Eperata lakou, no Betelehemaiuda, A hele aku lakou i ka aina i Moaba, a noho iho la malaila.
3 And Elimelech Naomi's husband died; and she was left, and her two sons.
Make iho la o Elimeleka, ke kane a Naomi; a koe ka wahine, a me kana mau keikikane elua.
4 And they took them wives of the women of Moab; the name of the one was Orpah, and the name of the other Ruth: and they dwelled there about ten years.
A lawe laua i wahine na laua, no na kaikamahine o Moaba. O Orepa ka inoa o kekahi, a o Ruta ka inoa o ka lua. Noho no lakou ilaila, he umi paha makahiki.
5 And Mahlon and Chilion died also both of them; and the woman was left of her two sons and her husband.
A make iho la o Mahelona ma laua o Kiliona; a haaleleia ua wahine la e kana mau keiki elua, a me kana kane.
6 Then she arose with her daughters in law, that she might return from the country of Moab: for she had heard in the country of Moab how that the LORD had visited his people in giving them bread.
Alaila ku mai la oia a me kana mau hunonawahine, a hoi mai la, mai ka aina o Moaba mai; no ka mea, ua lohe oia ma ka aina o Moaba, i ko Iehova ike ana mai i kona poe kanaka, me ka haawi ana mai ia lakou i ka berena.
7 Wherefore she went forth out of the place where she was, and her two daughters in law with her; and they went on the way to return unto the land of Judah.
Hele aku la oia iwaho o kahi ana i noho ai, me kana mau hunonawahine elua; a hele mai la lakou ma ke ala, e hoi ai i ka aina i Iuda.
8 And Naomi said unto her two daughters in law, Go, return each to her mother's house: the LORD deal kindly with you, as all of you have dealt with the dead, and with me.
Olelo aku la Naomi i kana mau hunonawahine elua, O haele, a hoi kela mea keia mea o olua i ka hale o kona makuwahine; a na Iehova no e lokomaikai mai ia olua, e like me ka olua i hana mai ai i na mea i make, a ia'u no hoi.
9 The LORD grant you that all of you may find rest, each of you in the house of her husband. Then she kissed them; and they lifted up their voice, and wept.
Na Iehova no e haawi mai ia olua i ka hoomaha, o kela mea keia mea o olua ma ka hale o kana kane iho. Alaila, honi aku la oia ia laua, a hookiekie lakou i ko lakou leo, a uwe ae la.
10 And they said unto her, Surely we will return with you unto your people.
I mai la laua ia ia, He oiaio no, hele pu maua me oe, i kou hoi ana i kou poe kanaka.
11 And Naomi said, Return, my daughters: why will all of you go with me? are there yet any more sons in my womb, that they may be your husbands?
Olelo hou mai la o Naomi, E na kaikamahine a'u, o hoi. No ke aha la olua e hele pu ai me au? He mau keiki hou anei iloko o ko'u opu, i mau kane na olua?
12 Return, my daughters, go your way; for I am too old to have an husband. If I should say, I have hope, if I should have an husband also to night, and should also bear sons;
E hoi olua, e na kaikamahine a'u, o hele, no ka mea, ua luwahine au, aole e loaa ke kane hou. A ina paha e olelo au, ua laua ko'u manao, a, ina he kane ka'u i keia po, a hanau na keikikane;
13 Would all of you tarry for them till they were grown? would all of you stay for them from having husbands? nay, my daughters; for it grieves me much for your sakes that the hand of the LORD is gone out against me.
E kakali anei olua ia laua, a nui laua? No laua anei olua e noho kane ole ai? Uoki, e na kaikamahine a'u; no ka mea, ua nui loa ko'u ehaeha no olua, i ke kau ana o ko Iehova lima maluna o'u.
14 And they lifted up their voice, and wept again: and Orpah kissed her mother in law; but Ruth clave unto her.
Hookiekie hou aku la lakou i ko lakou leo, a uwe aku la. Honi mai la o Orepa i kona makuahonowaiwahine; aka, pili mai la o Ruta ia ia.
15 And she said, Behold, your sister in law is gone back unto her people, and unto her gods: return you after your sister in law.
I aku la keia, Aia hoi, na hoi aku kou hoahanau, i kona poe kanaka, a i kona poe akua. E hoi aku oe mamuli o kou punalua.
16 And Ruth said, Implore me not to leave you, or to return from following after you: for where you go, I will go; and where you lodge, I will lodge: your people shall be my people, and your God my God:
Olelo mai la o Ruta ia ia, Mai nonoi mai oe ia'u, e haalele ia oe, a e hoi aku, mai ka hahai ana ia oe; no ka mea, ma kou wahi e hele ai, malaila au e hele ai, ma kou wahi e moe ai, malaila au e moe ai: o kou poe kanaka, no'u ia poe kanaka, o kou Akua, no'u ia Akua:
17 Where you die, will I die, and there will I be buried: the LORD do so to me, and more also, if ought but death part you and me.
Ma kou wahi e make ai, malaila au e make ai, malaila hoi au e kanuia'i: o ka make oia wale no ko kaua mea e kaawale ai; ina aole, me ia hoi e hana mai ai o Iehova ia'u.
18 When she saw that she was steadfastly minded to go with her, then she left speaking unto her.
A ike mai ia, ua ikaika loa ko Ruta manao e hele pu me ia, alaila, oki iho hi kana olelo ana ia ia.
19 So they two went until they came to Bethlehem. And it came to pass, when they were come to Bethlehem, that all the city was moved about them, and they said, Is this Naomi?
Hele pu no laua, a hiki aku la i Betelehema. A komo aku la laua iloko o Betelehema, pioloke iho la ke kulanakauhale a pau no laua; i ae la lakou, O Naomi anei keia?
20 And she said unto them, Call me not Naomi, call me Mara: for the Almighty has dealt very bitterly with me.
I aku lu oia ia lakou, Mai kapa mai oukou ia'u o Naomi, e kapa mai oukou ia'u o Mara; no ka mea, ua hookaumaha loa mai ka Mea mana ia'u.
21 I went out full and the LORD has brought me home again empty: why then call all of you me Naomi, seeing the LORD has testified against me, and the Almighty has afflicted me?
Ua hele lako aku au iwaho, hoihoi nele mai o Iehova ia'u. No ke aha la oukou e kapa mai ai ia'u o Naomi? No ka mea, ua hoohaahaa mai o Iehova ia'u, a ua hookaumaha mai o ka Mea mana ia'u.
22 So Naomi returned, and Ruth the Moabitess, her daughter in law, with her, which returned out of the country of Moab: and they came to Bethlehem in the beginning of barley harvest.
Pela i hoi mai ai o Naomi, a me kana hunonawahine pu me ia, o Ruta, no Moaba, a hele mai no ka aina o Moaba mai; a hiki mai laua i Betelehema i ka manawa o ka hoiliili mua ana i ka hua bale.
