1 I n the days when the judges ruled, there was a famine in the land. And a certain man of Bethlehem of Judah went to sojourn in the country of Moab, he, his wife, and his two sons.

Waagii xaakinnadu wax xukumi jireen abaar baa dalkii ka dhacday. Markaasaa nin Beytlaxam Yahuudah ka tegey, oo wuxuu qariib ahaan u degay waddankii Moo'aab, isagii iyo naagtiisii, iyo labadiisii wiilba.

2 T he man’s name was Elimelech and his wife’s name was Naomi and his two sons were named Mahlon and Chilion; they were Ephrathites from Bethlehem of Judah. They went to the country of Moab and continued there.

Oo ninkaas magiciisu wuxuu ahaa Eliimeleg, naagtiisana waxaa la odhan jiray Nimco, labadiisa wiil magacyadooduna waxay ahaayeen Maxloon iyo Kilyoon, oo qoladooduna waxay ahayd reer Efraad oo Beytlaxam Yahuudah ka yimid. Oo waxay soo galeen waddankii Moo'aab, oo halkaasay iska degeen.

3 B ut Elimelech, who Naomi’s husband, died, and she was left with her two sons.

Markaasaa waxaa dhintay Eliimeleg oo ahaa Nimco ninkeedii, oo waxaa hadhay iyadii iyo labadeedii wiil.

4 A nd they took wives of the women of Moab; the name of the one was Orpah and the name of the other Ruth. They dwelt there about ten years;

Oo iyana waxay naago ka guursadeen dumarkii reer Moo'aab; oo naagahoodii mid magaceedii waxaa la odhan jiray Corfah, tan kale magaceeduna wuxuu ahaa Ruud; oo waxay halkaas degganaayeen intii toban sannadood ku dhow.

5 A nd Mahlon and Chilion died also, both of them, so the woman was bereft of her two sons and her husband.

Oo haddana Maxloon iyo Kilyoon labadiiba way dhinteen; oo naagtii waxaa ka dhintay labadeedii carruur ahayd iyo ninkeedii.

6 T hen she arose with her daughters-in-law to return from the country of Moab, for she had heard in Moab how the Lord had visited His people in giving them food.

Markaasay kacday iyadoo wadata labadii gabdhood ee ay soddohda u ahayd inay ka noqoto waddankii Moo'aab; waayo, waxay waddankii Moo'aab ku maqashay in Rabbigu dadkiisii soo booqday oo uu cunto siiyey.

7 S o she left the place where she was, her two daughters-in-law with her, and they started on the way back to Judah.

Oo markaasay meeshii ay joogtay ka tagtay, oo labadii gabdhood oo ay soddohda u ahaydna way la socdeen; oo jidkay qaadeen inay ku noqdaan dalkii reer Yahuudah.

8 B ut Naomi said to her two daughters-in-law, Go, return each of you to her mother’s house. May the Lord deal kindly with you, as you have dealt with the dead and with me.

Markaasaa Nimco waxay ku tidhi labadii gabdhood ee ay soddohda u ahayd, Taga oo middiin kastaaba ha ku noqoto gurigii hooyadeed; oo Rabbigu si raxmad leh ha idiin yeelo taasoo ah sidii aad ula macaamilooteen kuwii dhintay iyo anigaba.

9 T he Lord grant that you may find a home and rest, each in the house of her husband! Then she kissed them and they wept aloud.

Rabbigu middiin kastaba nasasho ha ku siiyo guriga ninkeeda. Oo markaasay iyagii dhunkatay; oo iyana codkoodii bay kor u qaadeen oo ooyeen.

10 A nd they said to her, No, we will return with you to your people.

Oo waxay iyadii ku yidhaahdeen, Maya, laakiinse adigaannu kula noqonaynaa xaggii dadkaaga.

11 B ut Naomi said, Turn back, my daughters, why will you go with me? Have I yet sons in my womb that may become your husbands?

Markaasay Nimco waxay tidhi, Iska noqda, gabdhahaygiiyow, bal maxaad ii raacaysaan? Ma wiilal kalaa uurkayga ku hadhay oo niman idiin noqonaya?

12 T urn back, my daughters, go; for I am too old to have a husband. If I should say I have hope, even if I should have a husband tonight and should bear sons,

Iska noqda, gabdhahaygiiyow, oo iska taga, waayo, waan ka gaboobay inaan nin guursado. Haddii aan odhan lahaa, Weli rajaan qabaa, iyo haddii xataa aan caawa nin guursado, ee haddana wiilal dhalo,

13 W ould you therefore wait till they were grown? Would you therefore refrain from marrying? No, my daughters; it is far more bitter for me than for you that the hand of the Lord is gone out against me.

haddaba ma waxaad sugaysaan ilaa ay ka koraan? Oo ma sidaas baad isaga daynaysaan inaad niman guursataan? Gabdhahaygiiyow, maya, waayo, taasaan aad uga xumaanayaa idinka aawadiin, waayo, waxaa igu soo baxday gacanta Rabbiga.

14 T hen they wept aloud again; and Orpah kissed her mother-in-law, but Ruth clung to her.

Markaasay codkoodii kor u qaadeen oo haddana way ooyeen; Corfahna soddohdeed bay dhunkatay; Ruudse way ku soo dhegtay.

15 A nd Naomi said, See, your sister-in-law has gone back to her people and to her gods; return after your sister-in-law.

Oo Nimco waxay ku tidhi, Bal eeg, dumaashidaa waxay ku noqotay dadkeedii iyo ilaaheedii; haddaba adna dumaashidaa daba gal.

16 A nd Ruth said, Urge me not to leave you or to turn back from following you; for where you go I will go, and where you lodge I will lodge. Your people shall be my people and your God my God.

Kolkaasaa Ruud waxay ku tidhi, Ha iga baryin inaan kaa tago, oo aan kaa noqdo, oo aanan ku raacin; maxaa yeelay, meeshii aad tagtid waan tegi doonaa; meeshaad degtidna waan degi doonaa, dadkaaguna wuxuu noqon doonaa dadkayga, Ilaahaaguna wuxuu noqon doonaa Ilaahayga.

17 W here you die I will die, and there will I be buried. The Lord do so to me, and more also, if anything but death parts me from you.

Meeshaad ku dhimatid ayaan ku dhiman doonaa, oo halkaasaa laygu aasi doonaa. Rabbigu sidaas ha igu sameeyo iyo ka sii badanba, haddii aniga iyo adiga, dhimasho mooyaane, wax kaleto ina kala kexeeyaan.

18 W hen Naomi saw that Ruth was determined to go with her, she said no more.

Oo Nimco, markay aragtay inay aad iyo aad ugu adkaysatay inay raacdo ayay hadalkii ka daysay.

19 S o they both went on until they came to Bethlehem. And when they arrived in Bethlehem, the whole town was stirred about them, and said, Is this Naomi?

Sidaas daraaddeed labadoodiiba way israaceen ilaa ay yimaadeen Beytlaxam. Oo markay Beytlaxam yimaadeen, magaaladii oo dhammu waa ku soo ururtay, oo dumarkiina waxay yidhaahdeen, Tanu ma Nimco baa?

20 A nd she said to them, Call me not Naomi; call me Mara, for the Almighty has dealt very bitterly with me.

Oo iyana waxay iyagii ku tidhi, Ha iigu yeedhina Nimco, laakiinse waxaad iigu yeedhaan Maara; waayo, Qaadirku wuxuu iila macaamilooday si qadhaadh.

21 I went out full, but the Lord has brought me home again empty. Why call me Naomi, since the Lord has testified against me, and the Almighty has afflicted me?

Anigoo buuxaan tegey, oo Rabbigu wuxuu i soo celiyey anigoo madhan. Haddaba maxaad iigu yeedhaysaan Nimco? Maxaa yeelay, Rabbigu waa igu marag furay, oo Qaadirku waa i dhibay.

22 S o Naomi returned, and Ruth the Moabitess, her daughter-in-law, with her, who returned from the country of Moab. And they came to Bethlehem at the beginning of barley harvest.

Sidaasay Nimco iyo Ruud tii reer Moo'aab ee ay soddohda u ahaydba u noqdeen, oo waxay ka soo laabteen waddankii Moo'aab oo Beytlaxam yimaadeen markay goosashada shaciirku bilaabatay.
