1 Na i nga ra i whakarite ai nga kaiwhakarite, kua pa te matekai ki te whenua. A ka haere tetahi tangata o Peterehema Hura ki te whenua o Moapa noho ai; a ia, tana wahine, me ana tama tokorua.
2 Na, ko te ingoa o taua tangata, ko Erimereke, ko Naomi hoki te ingoa o tana wahine; ko nga ingoa hoki o ana tama tokorua, ko Maharono, ko Kiriono, he Eparati ratou, no Peterehema Hura. Na haere ana ki te whenua o Moapa, a noho ana i reira.
3 Na ka mate a Erimereke, te tahu a Naomi, a mahue iho ko ia, ratou ko ana tama tokorua.
4 Na ka tango wahine raua ma raua i roto i nga wahine o Moapa; ko Oropa te ingoa o tetahi, ko Rutu te ingoa o tetahi, a noho ana i reira, kotahi tekau nga tau.
5 Na ka mate raua tokorua, a Maharono raua ko Kiriono, a ko te wahine anake te putanga o ana tama tokorua, o tana tahu.
6 Katahi ia ka whakatika, ratou ko ana hunaonga, a hoki ana i te whenua o Moapa; i rongo hoki i te whenua o Moapa kua titiro mai a Ihowa ki tana iwi, kua hoatu e ia he taro ma ratou.
7 Heoi haere atu ana ia i te wahi i noho ai, ratou tahi ko ana hunaonga tokorua, a haere ana i te ara, hoki ana ki te whenua o Hura.
8 Na ka mea a Naomi ki ana hunaonga tokorua, Haere korua, e hoki ki nga whare o o korua whaea: ma Ihowa korua e atawhai; kia rite tana ki ta korua mahi ki nga tupapaku, ki ahau hoki.
9 Ma Ihowa e hoami ki a korua kia kite korua i te okiokinga i roto i te whare o tana tahu, o tana tahu. Na ka kihi ia i a raua, a rahi noa atu o ratou reo ki te tangi.
10 Na ka mea raua ki a ia, Engari me hoki tahi tatou ki tou iwi.
11 Ano ra ko Naomi, Hoki atu, e aku tamahine: kia haere tahi korua i ahau hei aha? he tama ano ianei enei kei roto i toku kopu hei tane ma korua?
12 Hoki atu, e aku tamahine, haere, kua ruruhitia nei hoki ahau, a e kore e whai tahu. Me i ki ahau, Kei te tumanako ahau, tera ano ahau e whai tane i tenei po, a ka whanau ano he tama maku;
13 Tera ranei korua e tatari ki a raua kia kaumatua ra ano? tera ranei e mau tonu korua ki a raua, a e whakakahore ki te tane? Kahore, e aku tamahine, nui noa atu hoki toku pouri ina whakaaro ki a korua; na te ringa hoki o Ihowa kua puta mai nei ki ahau.
14 Na ka puaki ano to ratou reo, a ka tangi. Na ka kihi a Oropa i tona hungawai; ko Rutu ia i piri ki a ia.
15 Na ka mea ia, Nana, kua hoki tou taokete ki tona iwi, ki ona atua: hoki atu, whaia tou taokete.
16 Na ka mea a Rutu, Kaua ra e tohe ki ahau kia whakarerea koe, kia hoki atu i te whai i a koe; ta te mea ka haere ahau ki tau wahi e haere ai, ka noho hoki ki tau wahi e noho ai; ko tou iwi hei iwi moku, ko tou Atua hei Atua moku;
17 Ka mate ahau ki te wahi e mate ai koe, ka tanumia hoki ki reira: kia meatia tenei e Ihowa ki ahau, etahi atu mea ano hoki, ina, ko te mate anake hei wehe i a taua.
18 A, i tona kitenga e u ana tona ngakau kia haere tahi raua, mutu ake tana korero ki a ia.
19 Heoi haere ana raua tokorua, a tae noa ki Peterehema. A, ka tae raua ki Peterehema, na ka oho katoa te pa ki a raua, ka mea nga wahine, Ko Naomi tenei?
20 Na ka mea ia ki a ratou, Kaua ahau e karangatia, ko Naomi; ko Mara ta koutou e karanga ai ki ahau: he kawa rawa hoki ta te Kaha Rawa mahi ki ahau.
21 Ki tonu ahau i toku haerenga atu; na kua whakahokia kautia mai e Ihowa. Na te aha ahau i karangatia ai ko Naomi e koutou, kua whakaaturia nei hoki toku he e Ihowa, kua tukinotia ahau e te Kaha Rawa?
22 Heoi hoki mai ana a Naomi raua tahi ko tana hunaonga, ko Rutu Moapi: hoki ana i te whenua o Moapa; a haere ana ki Peterehema i te timatanga o te kotinga parei.

Naomi Loses Her Husband and Sons
1 In the days when the judges ruled,[a](A) there was a famine in the land.(B) So a man from Bethlehem in Judah,(C) together with his wife and two sons, went to live for a while(D) in the country of Moab.(E) 2 The man’s name was Elimelek,(F) his wife’s name was Naomi, and the names of his two sons were Mahlon and Kilion.(G) They were Ephrathites(H) from Bethlehem,(I) Judah. And they went to Moab and lived there.
3 Now Elimelek, Naomi’s husband, died, and she was left with her two sons. 4 They married Moabite women,(J) one named Orpah and the other Ruth.(K) After they had lived there about ten years, 5 both Mahlon and Kilion(L) also died,(M) and Naomi was left without her two sons and her husband.
Naomi and Ruth Return to Bethlehem
6 When Naomi heard in Moab(N) that the Lord had come to the aid of his people(O) by providing food(P) for them, she and her daughters-in-law(Q) prepared to return home from there. 7 With her two daughters-in-law she left the place where she had been living and set out on the road that would take them back to the land of Judah.
8 Then Naomi said to her two daughters-in-law, “Go back, each of you, to your mother’s home.(R) May the Lord show you kindness,(S) as you have shown kindness to your dead husbands(T) and to me. 9 May the Lord grant that each of you will find rest(U) in the home of another husband.”
Then she kissed(V) them goodbye and they wept aloud(W) 10 and said to her, “We will go back with you to your people.”
11 But Naomi said, “Return home, my daughters. Why would you come with me? Am I going to have any more sons, who could become your husbands?(X) 12 Return home, my daughters; I am too old to have another husband. Even if I thought there was still hope for me—even if I had a husband tonight and then gave birth to sons— 13 would you wait until they grew up?(Y) Would you remain unmarried for them? No, my daughters. It is more bitter(Z) for me than for you, because the Lord’s hand has turned against me!(AA)”
14 At this they wept(AB) aloud again. Then Orpah kissed her mother-in-law(AC) goodbye,(AD) but Ruth clung to her.(AE)
15 “Look,” said Naomi, “your sister-in-law(AF) is going back to her people and her gods.(AG) Go back with her.”
16 But Ruth replied, “Don’t urge me to leave you(AH) or to turn back from you. Where you go I will go,(AI) and where you stay I will stay. Your people will be my people(AJ) and your God my God.(AK) 17 Where you die I will die, and there I will be buried. May the Lord deal with me, be it ever so severely,(AL) if even death separates you and me.”(AM) 18 When Naomi realized that Ruth was determined to go with her, she stopped urging her.(AN)
19 So the two women went on until they came to Bethlehem.(AO) When they arrived in Bethlehem, the whole town was stirred(AP) because of them, and the women exclaimed, “Can this be Naomi?”
20 “Don’t call me Naomi,[b]” she told them. “Call me Mara,[c] because the Almighty[d](AQ) has made my life very bitter.(AR) 21 I went away full, but the Lord has brought me back empty.(AS) Why call me Naomi? The Lord has afflicted[e] me;(AT) the Almighty has brought misfortune upon me.”
22 So Naomi returned from Moab accompanied by Ruth the Moabite,(AU) her daughter-in-law,(AV) arriving in Bethlehem as the barley harvest(AW) was beginning.(AX)
