Ruth 1
1 Now it came to pass in the days when the judges ruled, that there was a famine in the land. And a certain man of Bethlehemjudah went to sojourn in the country of Moab, he, and his wife, and his two sons.
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.
2 And the name of the man was Elimelech, and the name of his wife Naomi, and the name of his two sons Mahlon and Chilion, Ephrathites of Bethlehemjudah. And they came into the country of Moab, and continued there.
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.
3 And Elimelech Naomi’s husband died; and she was left, and her two sons.
E morreu Elimeleque, marido de Noemi, e restou ela com seus dois filhos;
4 And they took them wives of the women of Moab; the name of the one was Orpah, and the name of the other Ruth: and they dwelled there about ten years.
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.
5 And Mahlon and Chilion died also both of them; and the woman was left of her two sons and her husband.
E morreram também os dois, Malom e Quiliom, restando assim a mulher desamparada de seus dois filhos e de seu marido.
6 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 the LORD had visited his people in giving them bread.
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.
7 Why 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.
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.
8 And Naomi said to her two daughters in law, Go, return each to her mother’s house: the LORD deal kindly with you, as you have dealt with the dead, and with me.
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.
9 The LORD 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.
Dê-vos o SENHOR que acheis descanso, cada uma em casa de seu marido: beijou-as logo, e elas choraram a voz em grito.
10 And they said to her, Surely we will return with you to your people.
E disseram-lhe: Certamente nós voltaremos contigo a teu povo.
11 And Naomi said, Turn again, my daughters: why will you go with me? are there yet any more sons in my womb, that they may be your husbands?
E Noemi respondeu: Voltai, filhas minhas; para que ireis comigo? Tenho eu mais filhos no ventre, que possam ser vossos maridos?
12 Turn again, my daughters, go your way; for I am too old to have an husband. If I should say, I have hope, if I should have an husband also to night, and should also bear sons;
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;
13 Would you tarry for them till they were grown? would you stay for them from having husbands? no, my daughters; for it grieves me much for your sakes that the hand of the LORD is gone out against me.
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.
14 And they lifted up their voice, and wept again: and Orpah kissed her mother in law; but Ruth joined to her.
Mas elas levantando outra vez sua voz, choraram: e Orfa beijou à sua sogra, mas Rute se ficou com ela.
15 And she said, Behold, your sister in law is gone back to her people, and to her gods: return you after your sister in law.
E Noemi disse: Eis que tua cunhada se voltou a seu povo e a seus deuses; volta-te atrás dela.
16 And Ruth said, Entreat me not to leave you, or to return from following after 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:
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.
17 Where you die, will I die, and there will I be buried: the LORD do so to me, and more also, if anything but death part you and me.
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.
18 When she saw that she was steadfastly minded to go with her, then she left speaking to her.
E vendo Noemi que estava tão decidida a ir com ela, deixou de falar-lhe.
19 So they two went until they came to Bethlehem. And it came to pass, when they were come to Bethlehem, that all the city was moved about them, and they said, Is this Naomi?
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?
20 And she said to them, Call me not Naomi, call me Mara: for the Almighty has dealt very bitterly with me.
E ela lhes respondia: Não me chameis Noemi, mas sim me chamai Mara: porque em grande amargura me pôs o Todo-Poderoso.
21 I went out full and the LORD has brought me home again empty: why then call you me Naomi, seeing the LORD has testified against me, and the Almighty has afflicted me?
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?
22 So Naomi returned, and Ruth the Moabitess, her daughter in law, with her, which returned out of the country of Moab: and they came to Bethlehem in the beginning of barley harvest.
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.
