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 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 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 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 Pagkatapos namatay si Elimelek na asawa ni Naomi, at naiwan siyang kasama ng kaniyang dalawang anak na lalaki.
Elimelech, Naomi's husband, died; and she was left, and 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.
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 Pagkatapos parehong namatay sina Mahlon at Quelion, kaya naiwan si Naomi wala ang kaniyang asawa at wala ang kaniyang dalawang anak.
Mahlon and Kilion both died, and the woman was bereaved of her two children and of her husband.
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 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 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.
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 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 her mother's house. May Jehovah deal kindly with you, as you have dealt with the dead, and with 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.
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 Sinabi nila sa kaniya, “Hindi! Babalik kami kasama mo sa iyong lahi.”
They said to her, "No, but 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?
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 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,
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 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 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 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.
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 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.”
She said, "Look, your sister-in-law has gone back to her people, and to her god. Follow 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.
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 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, 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 Nang makita ni Naomi na nagpasya nang sumama si Ruth sa kanya, tumigil na siyang makipagtalo sa kaniya.
When she saw that she was steadfastly minded to go with her, she left off speaking to 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 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 Pero sinabi niya sa kanila, “Huwag ako tawaging Naomi. Tawagin akong Maramdamin, dahil ang Maykapal ay sobrang nagdaramdam sa akin.
She said to them, "Do not call me Naomi. Call me Marah; for Shaddai 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, 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 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 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.
