< Ruth 1 >

1 And it cometh to pass, in the days of the judging of the judges, that there is a famine in the land, and there goeth a man from Beth-Lehem-Judah to sojourn in the fields of Moab, he, and his wife, and his two sons.
In pacl ma mwet nununku tuh kol fin acn Israel, oasr sie sracl lulap sikyak. Ouinge, sie mwet Bethlehem in acn Judah, wi mutan kial ac wen luo natul, elos som nu Moab in tuh muta we kitin pacl.
2 And the name of the man [is] Elimelech, and the name of his wife Naomi, and the name of his two sons Mahlon and Chilion, Ephrathites from Beth-Lehem-Judah; and they come into the fields of Moab, and are there.
Inen mukul sac pa Elimelech, mutan kial pa Naomi, ac inen wen luo natul ah pa Mahlon ac Chilion. Elos mwet Ephrath, ac elos muta in acn Bethlehem lun Judah. Na elos som nu Moab in tuh muta we. Ke elos muta we
3 And Elimelech husband of Naomi dieth, and she is left, she and her two sons;
Elimelech el misa, ac Naomi ac wen luo natul ah mukena muta.
4 and they take to them wives, Moabitesses: the name of the one [is] Orpah, and the name of the second Ruth; and they dwell there about ten years.
Tok, eltal payukyak sin mutan Moab luo — sie pa Orpah ac sie pa Ruth. Elos muta we apkuran in yac singoul,
5 And they die also, both of them — Mahlon and Chilion — and the woman is left of her two children and of her husband.
na Mahlon ac Chilion kewa misa pac, ac Naomi el mukelana muta. Wanginla mukul tumal ac wen luo natul ah.
6 And she riseth, she and her daughters-in-law, and turneth back from the fields of Moab, for she hath heard in the fields of Moab that God hath looked after His people, — to give to them bread.
Kutu pacl tok, Naomi el lohngak lah LEUM GOD El kasru mwet in acn sel ke El akwoye fokin ima lalos ac sang mwe mongo nu selos. Na Naomi ac mutan luo talupal ah akola in som liki acn Moab,
7 And she goeth out from the place where she hath been, and her two daughters-in-law with her, and they go in the way to turn back unto the land of Judah.
ac mutawauk in fahsr nu Judah.
8 And Naomi saith to her two daughters-in-law, 'Go, turn back, each to the house of her mother; Jehovah doth with you kindness as ye have done with the dead, and with me;
Naomi el fahk nu sin mutan luo natul ah, “Wona komtal in folokla nu yurin nina kiomtal ah, ac lela tuh LEUM GOD Elan kulang nu sumtal oana ke komtal tuh kulang nu sik ac nu sin mukul tomomtal ma misa.
9 Jehovah doth grant to you, and find ye rest each in the house of her husband;' and she kisseth them, and they lift up their voice and weep.
Lela tuh LEUM GOD Elan kasrekomtal in ku in konauk luo mukul ah tomomtal komtal in muta wo yoro.” Na Naomi el wilkas ac ngok mutaltal. Tusruktu eltal mutawauk in tung
10 And they say to her, 'Surely with thee we go back to thy people.'
ac fahk, “Mo! Kut ac wi kom na som nu yurin mwet lom an.”
11 And Naomi saith, 'Turn back, my daughters; why do ye go with me? are there yet to me sons in my bowels that they have been to you for husbands?
Na Naomi el fahk nu seltal, “Komtal enenu in folokot. Efu komtal ku lungse wiyu? Mea, komtal nunku mu nga ac ku in sifil oswela tulik mukul komtal in payuk nu se?
12 Turn back, my daughters, go, for I am too aged to be to a husband; though I had said, There is for me hope, also, I have been to-night to a husband, and also I have borne sons:
Folokot nu yen sumtal an mweyen nga matuoh ac nga tia ku in sifil payuk. Nga finne nunkauk mu nga in sifil payukyak ofong ac oswela kutu wen,
13 for them do ye wait till that they grow up? for them do ye shut yourselves up, not to be to a husband? nay, my daughters, for more bitter to me than to you, for the hand of Jehovah hath gone out against me.'
mea, komtal ac soano na eltal in matula? Ya sripa se inge in pwanang komtal in tia payuk nu sin kutepacna mukul? Mo, acn nutik, komtal etu na lah tia ku in ouinge. LEUM GOD El ngetla likiyu, ac nga arulana pakomutomtal.”
14 And they lift up their voice, and weep again, and Orpah kisseth her mother-in-law, and Ruth hath cleaved to her.
Ac eltal sifilpa mutawauk in tung. Na Orpah el ngokya mutun nina sac, ac folokla nu yen sel ah, a Ruth el sripsriplana nu sin nina sac ac tiana fahsr lukel.
15 And she saith, 'Lo, thy sister-in-law hath turned back unto her people, and unto her god, turn thou back after thy sister-in-law.'
Na Naomi el fahk nu sel, “Ruth, mutan se wiom ah pa folokla nu yurin mwet lal ac god lal. Fahla welul.”
16 And Ruth saith, 'Urge me not to leave thee — to turn back from after thee; for whither thou goest I go, and where thou lodgest I lodge; thy people [is] my people, and thy God my God.
Tusruktu Ruth el fahk, “Nimet kom kafwe nga in som liki kom! Lela nga in wi kom na. Tuh yen kom som nu we, nga fah som pac nu we. Yen kom ac muta we, nga ac fah muta pac we. Mwet lom fah mwet luk, ac God lom fah God luk.
17 Where thou diest I die, and there I am buried; thus doth Jehovah to me, and thus doth He add — for death itself doth part between me and thee.'
Yen kom misa we, nga ac fah misa we, ac nga ac fah pukpuki pac we. Lela LEUM GOD Elan arulana ase mwe keok yohk nu fuk nga fin fahsr liki kom meet liki nga misa!”
18 And she seeth that she is strengthening herself to go with her, and she ceaseth to speak unto her;
Ke Naomi el akilen lah Ruth el wotela na ku sel mu el ac welul ah, el tia sifilpa fahk kutena ma.
19 and they go both of them till their coming in to Beth-Lehem; and it cometh to pass at their coming in to Beth-Lehem, that all the city is moved at them, and they say, 'Is this Naomi?'
Eltal fahsr nwe ke na eltal sun acn Bethlehem. Ke eltal sun acn we, mwet in acn sac elos arulana lut, ac kutu sin mutan in acn sac fahk ouinge, “Ku pwayena lah Naomi pa inge?”
20 And she saith unto them, 'Call me not Naomi; call me Mara, for the Almighty hath dealt very bitterly to me,
Na Naomi el fahk nu selos, “Kowos in tia sifil pangonyu Naomi, a kowos in pangonyu Marah mweyen LEUM GOD El ase sie moul na asor nu sik.
21 I went out full, and empty hath Jehovah brought me back, why do ye call me Naomi, and Jehovah hath testified against me, and the Almighty hath done evil to me?'
Ke nga tuh som liki acn yenu ah, pukanten ma luk, tuh pa LEUM GOD El folokinyume pisinpo. Mwe mea kowos in pangonyu Naomi ke LEUM GOD Kulana El akkeokyeyu ac supwama mwe ongoiya nu fuk?”
22 And Naomi turneth back, and Ruth the Moabitess her daughter-in-law with her, who hath turned back from the fields of Moab, and they have come in to Beth-Lehem at the commencement of barley-harvest.
Ouinge Naomi el foloko liki acn Moab, ac Ruth, mutan Moab se talupal welul. Ke eltal sun acn Bethlehem, tufahna mutawauk pacl in kosrani barley in acn we.
