Rute 1
1 E aconteceu nos dias que governavam os juízes, que houve fome na terra. E um homem de Belém de Judá, foi a peregrinar nos campos de Moabe, ele e sua mulher, e dois filhos seus.
It happened in the days when the judges judged, that there was a famine in the land. A certain man of Bethlehem Judah went to sojourn in the country of Moab, he, and his wife, and his two sons.
2 O nome daquele homem era Elimeleque, e o de sua mulher Noemi; e os nomes de seus dois filhos eram Malom e Quiliom, efrateus de Belém de Judá. Chegaram, pois, aos campos de Moabe, e assentaram ali.
The name of the man was Elimelech, and the name of his wife Naomi, and the name of his two sons Mahlon and Kilion, Ephrathites of Bethlehem Judah. They came into the country of Moab, and continued there.
3 E morreu Elimeleque, marido de Noemi, e restou ela com seus dois filhos;
Elimelech, Naomi's husband, died; and she was left, and her two sons.
4 Os quais tomaram para si mulheres de Moabe, o nome da uma Orfa, e o nome da outra Rute; e habitaram ali uns dez anos.
And they took for themselves wives from the women of Moab; the name of the one was Orpah, and the name of the other Ruth: and they lived there about ten years.
5 E morreram também os dois, Malom e Quiliom, restando assim a mulher desamparada de seus dois filhos e de seu marido.
Mahlon and Kilion both died, and the woman was bereaved of her two children and of her husband.
6 Então se levantou com suas noras, e voltou-se dos campos de Moabe: porque ouviu no campo de Moabe que o SENHOR havia visitado a seu povo para dar-lhes pão.
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 Jehovah had visited his people in giving them bread.
7 Saiu, pois, do lugar de onde havia estado, e com ela suas duas noras, e começaram em caminhar para voltar-se à terra de Judá.
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 to the land of Judah.
8 E Noemi disse a suas duas noras: Andai, voltai-vos cada uma à casa de sua mãe: o SENHOR faça convosco misericórdia, como a fizestes com os mortos e comigo.
Naomi said to her two daughters-in-law, "Go, return each of you to her mother's house. May Jehovah deal kindly with you, as you have dealt with the dead, and with me.
9 Dê-vos o SENHOR que acheis descanso, cada uma em casa de seu marido: beijou-as logo, e elas choraram a voz em grito.
Jehovah grant you that 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.
10 E disseram-lhe: Certamente nós voltaremos contigo a teu povo.
They said to her, "No, but we will return with you to your people."
11 E Noemi respondeu: Voltai, filhas minhas; para que ireis comigo? Tenho eu mais filhos no ventre, que possam ser vossos maridos?
Naomi said, "Go back, my daughters. Why do you want to go with me? Do I still have sons in my womb, that they may be your husbands?
12 Voltai, filhas minhas, e ide; que eu já sou velha para ser para me casar com homem. E ainda que dissesse: Tenho esperança; e esta noite me casasse com um homem, e ainda desse à luz filhos;
Go back, my daughters, go your way; for I am too old to have a husband. If I should say, 'I have hope,' if I should even have a husband tonight, and should also bear sons;
13 Teríeis vós de esperá-los até que fossem grandes? Ficaríeis vós sem se casar por causa deles? Não, filhas minhas; que maior amargura tenho eu que vós, pois a mão do SENHOR saiu contra mim.
would you then wait until they were grown? Would you then refrain from having husbands? No, my daughters, for it grieves me much for your sakes, for the hand of Jehovah has gone out against me."
14 Mas elas levantando outra vez sua voz, choraram: e Orfa beijou à sua sogra, mas Rute se ficou com ela.
They lifted up their voice, and wept again: and Orpah kissed her mother-in-law and returned to her people, but Ruth clung to her.
15 E Noemi disse: Eis que tua cunhada se voltou a seu povo e a seus deuses; volta-te atrás dela.
She said, "Look, your sister-in-law has gone back to her people, and to her god. Follow your sister-in-law.
16 E Rute respondeu: Não me rogues que te deixe, e que me aparte de ti: porque de onde quer que tu fores, irei eu; e de onde quer que viveres, viverei. Teu povo será meu povo, e teu Deus meu Deus.
Ruth said, "Do not urge me to leave you, and to return from following after you, for where you go, I will go; and where you stay, I will stay; your people shall be my people, and your God my God;
17 Onde tu morreres, morrerei eu, e ali serei sepultada: assim me faça o SENHOR, e assim me dê, que somente a morte fará separação entre mim e ti.
where you die, will I die, and there will I be buried. Jehovah do so to me, and more also, if anything but death part you and me."
18 E vendo Noemi que estava tão decidida a ir com ela, deixou de falar-lhe.
When she saw that she was steadfastly minded to go with her, she left off speaking to her.
19 Andaram, pois, elas duas até que chegaram a Belém: e aconteceu que entrando em Belém, toda a cidade se comoveu por razão delas, e diziam: Não é esta Noemi?
So they two went until they came to Bethlehem. It happened, when they had come to Bethlehem, that all the city was moved about them, and they asked, "Is this Naomi?"
20 E ela lhes respondia: Não me chameis Noemi, mas sim me chamai Mara: porque em grande amargura me pôs o Todo-Poderoso.
She said to them, "Do not call me Naomi. Call me Marah; for Shaddai has dealt very bitterly with me.
21 Eu me fui cheia, mas vazia me fez voltar o SENHOR. Por que me chamareis Noemi, já que o SENHOR deu testemunho contra mim, e o Todo-Poderoso me afligiu?
I went out full, and Jehovah has brought me home again empty. Why do you call me Naomi, since Jehovah has testified against me, and Shaddai has afflicted me?"
22 Assim voltou Noemi e Rute moabita sua nora com ela; voltou dos campos de Moabe, e chegaram a Belém no princípio da colheita das cevadas.
So Naomi returned, and Ruth the Moabitess, her daughter-in-law, with her, who returned out of the country of Moab: and they came to Bethlehem at the beginning of barley harvest.
