Ruth 1
1 Israelte lah a thutan vaihom hon vai ahoplaijun gamsung’a kel nasatah ahung lhungtan ahi. Hijeh chun Bethlehem akonnin Juda mi khatnin ajinu leh achateni akipuijin Moab gam’ah cheng ding in achetan ahi.
In the time that the Iudges ruled, there was a dearth in the lande, and a man of Beth-lehem Iudah went for to soiourne in the countrey of Moab, he, and his wife, and his two sonnes.
2 Hichepa min chu Elimelech ahin ajinu min chu Naomi ahi. Achateni min chu Mahlon leh Chilion ahi. Amahohi Juda gam Bethlehem’a konna Euphrath mi ahiuvin, Moab mite gam alhun phat’un hichea chun achengtaovin ahi.
And the name of the man was Elimelech, and the name of his wife, Naomi: and the names of his two sonnes, Mahlon, and Chilion, Ephrathites of Beth-lehem Iudah: and when they came into the land of Moab, they continued there.
3 Hichejou chun Elimelech chun, ajinu Naomi leh achapa teni chu dalhan ana thitan ahi.
Then Elimelech the husband of Naomi died, and she remayned with her two sonnes,
4 Achapa teni chun Moab numei akichenpi lhonnin, khatnu minchu Orpah ahin chuleh khatnu chu Ruth ahi. Ahinlah kum som joudon’in,
Which tooke them wiues of the Moabites: the ones name was Orpah, and the name of ye other Ruth: and they dwelled there about ten yeeres.
5 Mahlon leh Chilion chu athilhon tai. Naomi chu ajipa leh acha teni geijin adalha taovin ahi.
And Mahlon and Chilion dyed also both twaine: so the woman was left destitute of her two sonnes, and of her husband.
6 Moab’a aum na a kona chun Pathen in Judah phatthei aboh in, chang leh mim asuh neng peh kittai tithu Naomi in ajatan ahi. Hijeh chun Naomi in amou teni kipui a Moab dalha a agamlam a kile kit ding in aki gotan ahi.
Then she arose with her daughters in law, and returned from the countrey of Moab: for she had heard say in the countrey of Moab, that the Lord had visited his people, and giuen them bread.
7 Amou teni chutoh achennao gam'a kona kipat doh a Judah gam lang jon kit ding in ahung kipat doh taovin ahi.
Wherefore shee departed out of the place where she was, and her two daughters in law with her, and they went on their way to returne vnto the land of Iudah.
8 Ahinlah lampi achun Naomi in amou teni koma hitin asei jin ahi, “Nainkote kom lang’a kile kit lhon tan naji teni ding leh keima dinga naphatna lhonjeh’in Pakai jin phatthei naboh lhon hen!”
Then Naomi saide vnto her two daughters in lawe, Goe, returne eche of you vnto her owne mothers house: the Lord shew fauour vnto you, as ye haue done with the dead, and with me.
9 “Pakai jin lungmong in najinei sah lhon hen lang phatthei naboh lhon ta hen” ati. Hichun kivailhah nan aki chopto uvin aki ka-uvin achiplha taovin ahi.
The Lord graunt you, that you may finde rest, either of you in the house of her husband. And when she kissed them, they lift vp their voice and wept.
10 Ahin amouteni chun adonbutin “Kanompoi, kilhon u hitin namite komlang’a keini jong kahung nomlhon e,” atilhonnin ahi.
And they saide vnto her, Surely we will returne with thee vnto thy people.
11 Ahinlah Naomi in adonbut nin, “Ibola keitoh iche khomdiu ham?” Keiman nangni toh kicheng theiding nao kanei kitthei beh dingham?
But Naomi saide, Turne againe, my daughters: for what cause will you go with me? are there any more sonnes in my wombe, that they may bee your husbands?
12 Hithei ponte kamouteni, nanu napa lhon in'ah kile lhontan, keima hi la jinei kit ding in kateh valtai. Tujan tah jeng jonghin jinei thei kit ding hileng chapa neipai jeng thei ding hijong leng,
Turne againe, my daughters: go your way: for I am too olde to haue an husband. If I should say, I haue hope, and if I had an husband this night: yea, if I had borne sonnes,
13 Midang toh kichen ding nom louvin hiche teni chu ahung letlhon nangahdoh jou lhon nadem? Ahipoi, hithei mong mong lou ding ahi, kamouteni! Nangni ding gelnan kei kalung akham lheh jenge, ajeh chu Pakai amatah in nangni jeh a hi eijeplo ding ahi,” atipeh lhon tan ahi.
Would yee tarie for them, till they were of age? would ye be deferred for them from taking of husbands? nay my daughters: for it grieueth me much for your sakes that the hand of the Lord is gone out against me.
14 Hichun avellin akikato kittaove, hichun Orpah chun atehpi chu vailhahnan achop in adalhatai, ahin Ruth vang chun atehpi akolchah den tan ahi.
Then they lift vp their voyce and wept againe, and Orpah kissed her mother in lawe, but Ruth abode still with her.
15 Naomi chun Ruth kom’ah, “Ven, na unu khu a Pathen komleh amite kom’ah akile kittai, nang jong hitia khu naum ding ahi,” ati.
And Naomi said, Beholde, thy sister in law is gone backe vnto her people and vnto her gods: returne thou after thy sister in lawe.
16 Ahin Ruth in adonbutnin, “Nangma kadalha a kinungle ding in neijol jol tahih in, nache na channa kacheding, nachen chenna a kachen ding, namite chu kamite hi ding, na Pathen chu ka Pathen hiding,
And Ruth answered, Intreate mee not to leaue thee, nor to depart from thee: for whither thou goest, I will goe: and where thou dwellest, I will dwell: thy people shall be my people, and thy God my God.
17 Nathi thina a kathi ding, nakivuina munna chu kakai vui ding ahi. Thinan eikhen lhon tilouva thildang a kakikhen pi poupouleh Pakaiyin kachunga thutan jeng hen!” ati.
Where thou diest, will I die, and there will I be buried. the Lord do so to me and more also, if ought but death depart thee and me.
18 Hichun Naomi in, Ruth chun kilhonpi tei ding lunggel dettah anei amudoh phat chun imacha aseitapoi.
Whe she saw that she was stedfastly minded to go with her, she left speaking vnto her.
19 Hiti chun anilhonnin akipat lhontai. Bethlehem alhun lhon phatnin, khopi miho chu akiling jeng taovin ahi. Anumei teho ho chu akihouvun, “Hiche khu Naomi hilou ham?” akitiuve.
So they went both vntill they came to Beth-lehem: and when they were come to Beth-lehem, it was noysed of them through all the citie, and they said, Is not this Naomi?
20 Amanun adonbutnin, “Naomi jong neiti tahih uvin, Marah joh neiti jouvin, ajeh chu Hatchungnung Pathen in kahinkho hi khaleuva eikoi ahitai,” ati.
And she answered them, Call me not Naomi, but call me Mara: for the Almightie hath giuen me much bitternes.
21 “Keima bulhingset na potdoh kahin, ahinlah Pakaiyin ahomkeovin eihinle puilut kittai. Pakaiyin hichan geiya eibolgimta a nanghon Naomi neiti nahlai diu ham? chuleh Hatchungnung Pathenin hichangeija hi hamsetna eilhutkhum hitalou ham?” ati.
I went out full, and the Lord hath caused me to returne emptie: why call ye me Naomi, seeing the Lord hath humbled me, and the Almightie hath brought me vnto aduersitie?
22 Hiti chun Naomi chu Moab gamma kon in amounu Moab numei khangthahcha chutoh ahung kile lhon tai. Amani Bethlehem ahung lhun lhon hin sakolchang at akipantai.
So Naomi returned and Ruth the Moabitesse her daughter in law with her, when she came out of the countrey of Moab: and they came to Beth-lehem in the beginning of barly haruest.
