Rit 1
1 Vwala, te gen yon grangou ki te tonbe sou peyi Izrayèl la. Lè sa a, se chèf ki t'ap gouvènen peyi a. Se konsa yon nonm lavil Betleyèm, nan pòsyon tè ki pou branch fanmi Jida a, leve, li pran madanm li ak de pitit gason l' yo, li al pase kèk tan nan peyi Moab.
And it was in [the] days of [the] judging of the judges and it was a famine in the land and he went a man from Beth-lehem Judah to sojourn in [the] region of Moab he and wife his and [the] two sons his.
2 Nonm lan te rele Elimelèk, madanm li te rele Naomi. De pitit gason l' yo te rele Maklon ak Kiljon. Se moun branch fanmi Efrat la yo te ye, moun lavil Betleyèm nan peyi Jida. Antan yo t'ap viv nan peyi Moab la,
And [the] name of the man [was] Elimelech and [the] name of wife his [was] Naomi and [the] name of [the] two sons his - [was] Mahlon and Kilion Ephrathites from Beth-lehem Judah and they came [the] region of Moab and they were there.
3 Elimelèk mouri, li kite Naomi pou kò l' ak de pitit gason li yo.
And he died Elimelech [the] husband of Naomi and she was left she and [the] two sons her.
4 De ti mesye yo te marye ak de fi moun peyi Moab: yonn te rele Opa, lòt la te rele Rit. Yo t'ap mache sou dizan depi yo t'ap viv nan peyi a,
And they took for themselves wives Moabite [the] name of the one [was] Orpah and [the] name of the second [was] Ruth and they dwelt there about ten years.
5 lè Maklon ak Kiljon tonbe, yo mouri tou. Se konsa Naomi twouve vin pou kont li: li te pèdi ni mari l' ni pitit gason l' yo.
And they died also both of them Mahlon and Kilion and she was left the woman from both children her and from husband her.
6 Antan Naomi te peyi Moab toujou, li vin pran nouvèl jan Seyè a te voye benediksyon sou pèp li a, jan li te fè yo fè bon rekòt. Menm lè a, li pare zafè l' pou l' kite peyi Moab ansanm ak de bèlfi li yo.
And she arose she and daughters-in-law her and she returned from [the] region of Moab if she had heard in [the] region of Moab that he had visited Yahweh people his by giving to them food.
7 Se konsa yo leve, yo kite kote yo te ye a, yo pati ansanm pou y' al nan peyi Jida.
And she went out from the place where she had been there and [the] two daughters-in-law her [were] with her and they went on the way to return to [the] land of Judah.
8 Men, antan yo sou wout, Naomi di bèlfi li yo konsa: -Pito nou tounen lakay nou al jwenn manman nou. Mwen mande Seyè a pou l' aji byen ak nou menm jan nou te aji byen avè m' ansanm ak defen yo.
And she said Naomi to [the] two daughters-in-law her go return [each] woman to [the] house of mother her (may he deal *Q(K)*) Yahweh with you covenant loyalty just as you have dealt with the dead and with me.
9 Mwen mande l' pou l' fè nou chak jwenn yon moun remarye ak nou pou nou ka viv ak kè poze lakay nou. Lè li fin di yo sa, li bo yo, li di yo li ale. Men, de medam yo pete rele.
May he give Yahweh to you and find rest [each] woman [the] house of husband her and she kissed them and they raised voice their and they wept.
10 Yo di l' konsa: -Non! Nou prale avè ou nan peyi ou.
And they said to her that with you we will return to people your.
11 Men, Naomi reponn yo: -Pitit mwen, pito nou tounen! Poukisa nou vle ale avè m'? Nou kwè mwen ka fè pitit gason ankò pou marye ak nou?
And she said Naomi go back O daughters my why? will you go with me ¿ still [belong] to me [do] sons in inward parts my and they will become of you husbands.
12 Tounen lakay nou! Mwen twò granmoun pou m' marye ankò. Epitou, menm si mwen ta mete nan tèt mwen mwen gen espwa marye ankò, menm si mwen ta rive marye aswè a epi m' ta fè pitit gason ankò,
Go back O daughters my go for I am [too] old for belonging to a husband if I said there for me [is] hope also I belonged this night to a husband and also I bore sons.
13 èske n'ap rete tann yo fin gran? Eske se sa k'ap anpeche nou marye ak yon lòt moun? Non, pitit fi m' yo. Nou konnen sa pa ka fèt. Sa fè m' mal anpil pou nou. Men Seyè a fè m' twòp lapenn deja.
¿ Therefore - will you wait until that they will grow up ¿ therefore will you shut yourselves off to not to belong to a husband may not [it be] O daughters my for it is bitter to me very more than you that it has gone forth on me [the] hand of Yahweh.
14 Medam yo pran rele pi rèd. Apre sa, Opa bo bèlmè li a, li di l' orevwa, epi li al jwenn fanmi li. Men, Rit menm te refize kite l'.
And they raised voice their and they wept again and she kissed Orpah mother-in-law her and Ruth she clung to her.
15 Naomi di l' konsa: -Rit machè! Gade bèlsè ou la! Li tounen li al jwenn moun li yo ansanm ak bondye l'ap sèvi yo. Fè menm jan an tou. Tounen ansanm avè l' non!
And she said there! she has returned sister-in-law your to people her and to gods her go back after sister-in-law your.
16 Men, Rit reponn: -Pa fòse m' kite ou! Tanpri, kite m' ale avè ou. Kote ou prale, mwen prale avè ou. Kote ou rete, m'a rete avè ou. Se moun pa ou yo ki va moun pa m'. Bondye w'ap sèvi a, se li m'a sèvi tou.
And she said Ruth may not you entreat me to abandon you to turn back from after you for to where you will go I will go and at where you will lodge I will lodge people your [will be] people my and God your [will be] God my.
17 Kote w'a mouri a, se la m'a mouri tou. Epi se la y'a antere m' tou. Mwen mande Seyè a pou l' ban mwen pi gwo madichon ki ka genyen, si se pa lanmò ki pou separe nou.
At where you will die I will die and there I will be buried thus may he do Yahweh to me and thus may he add if death it will separate between me and between you.
18 Lè Naomi wè Rit te soti vre pou ale avè l', li pa di l' anyen ankò.
And she saw that [was] determined she to go with her and she ceased to speak to her.
19 Yo pati, yo vwayaje ansanm jouk yo rive lavil Betleyèm. Lè yo rive, wè moun wè yo, lavil la te tèt anba. Medam yo menm t'ap di: -Ou kwè se Naomi sa?
And they went [the] two of them until came they Beth-lehem and it was when came they Beth-lehem and it was excited all the city on them and they [fem] said ¿ [is] this Naomi.
20 reponn yo: -Tanpri, pa rele m' Naomi. Pito nou rele m' Mara, paske Bondye ki gen tout pouvwa a fè m' soufri anpil.
And she said to them may not you call me Naomi call me Mara for he has caused bitterness [the] Almighty to me exceedingly.
21 Lè m' te pati isit la, mwen te gen tou sa m' te bezwen. Men jòdi a, Seyè a mennen m' tounen de men m' de pye m'. Poukisa pou n'ap rele m' Naomi toujou lè Seyè a fin vire do ban mwen, lè se malè ase Bondye ki gen tout pouvwa a voye sou mwen?
I full I went and empty he has brought back me Yahweh why? do you call me Naomi and Yahweh he has testified against me and [the] Almighty he has done harm to me.
22 Se konsa Naomi tounen soti nan peyi Moab ansanm ak bèlfi li, Rit, moun peyi Moab. Lè yo rive lavil Betleyèm, rekòt grenn lòj te fèk konmanse.
And she returned Naomi and Ruth the Moabite [woman] daughter-in-law her [was] with her who returned from [the] region of Moab and they they came Beth-lehem at [the] beginning of [the] harvest of barley.
