Ruthi 1
Albanian Bible
1 Në kohën kur qeverisnin gjyqtarët, vendin e pllakosi zia, dhe një njeri nga Betlemi i Judës shkoi të banojë në vendin e Moabit me gjithë gruan dhe dy bijtë e tij.
2 Emri i burrit ishte Elimelek, emri i gruas së tij Naomi dhe emri i dy bijve të tij Mahlon dhe Kilion, Efratej nga Betlemi i Judës. Ata shkuan në vendin e Moabit dhe u vendosën aty.
3 Pastaj Elimeku, burri i Naomit, vdiq dhe ajo mbeti me dy bijtë e saj.
4 Këta u martuan me gra moabite, nga të cilat njëra quhej Orpah dhe tjetra Ruth; dhe banuan aty rreth dhjetë vjet.
5 Pastaj edhe Mahloni dhe Kilioni vdiqën që të dy, dhe kështu ajo grua mbeti pa dy djemtë e saj dhe pa burrin.
6 Atëherë u ngrit me gjithë nuset e saj për t’u kthyer nga vendi Moabit, sepse kishte dëgjuar të thuhej që Zoti e kishte vizituar popullin e vet dhe i kishte dhënë bukë.
7 Ajo u nis, pra, me të dy nuset e saj nga vendi në të cilin rrinte, dhe filloi të ecë për t’u kthyer në vendin e Judës.
8 Por Naomi u tha dy nuseve të saj: "Shkoni, kthehuni çdo njëra në shtëpinë e nënes së saj; Zoti qoftë i mirë me ju, ashtu si ju keni qenë të mira me ata që kanë vdekur dhe me mua!
9 Zoti ju bëftë të gjeni qetësi çdo njëra në shtëpinë e burrit të sajë!". Pastaj ajo i puthi dhe ato filluan të qajnë me zë të lartë,
10 dhe i thanë: "Jo, ne do të kthehemi me ty pranë popullit tënd".
11 Por Naomi u përgjegj: "Kthehuni bijat e mija! Pse të vini me mua? Mos kam në barkun tim fëmijë që mund të bëhen bashkëshortët tuaj?
12 Kthehuni mbrapa, bijat e mija, shkoni, sepse unë jam shumë e vjetër për t’u martuar prapë; edhe sikur të thoja: "Kam akoma shpresë"; edhe sikur të martohesha sonte dhe të lindja djem,
13 a do të prisnit ju sa të rriteshin? A do të hiqnit dorë nga martesa për këtë shkak? Jo, bijat e mija, sepse kushtet në të cilat ndodhem janë më të hidhura nga tuajat, sepse dora e Zotit është shtrirë kundër meje".
14 Atëherë ato e ngritën zërin dhe qanë përsëri; pastaj Orpahu puthi vjehrrën, por Ruthi nuk i ndahej asaj.
15 Atëherë Naomi i tha Ruthit: "Ja, kunata jote u kthye te populli i vet dhe te perënditë e saj; ktheu mbrapa edhe ti, ashtu si kunata jote!".
16 Por Ruthi u përgjegj: "Mos ngul këmbë me mua që unë të të braktis dhe të mos të të ndjek më, sepse kudo që të shkosh ti do të shkoj edhe unë, dhe kudo që të rrish ti do të rri edhe unë; populli yt do të jetë populli im, Perëndia yt do të jetë edhe Perëndia im;
17 aty ku të vdesësh ti do të vdes edhe unë, dhe atje do të më varrosin. Kështu të veprojë me mua Zoti, bile edhe më keq, në rast se veç vdekjes ndonjë gjë tjetër do të më ndajë prej teje!".
18 Kur Naomi e kuptoi që Ruthi ishte e vendosur ta ndiqte, nuk i foli më.
19 Kështu e bënë rrugën bashkë deri sa arritën në Betlem. Kur arritën në Betlem, tërë qyteti ziente për shkak të tyre. Gratë thonin: "Kjo është Naomi?".
20 Ajo iu përgjegj atyre: "Mos më quani Naomi; thirrmëni Mara, sepse i Plotfuqishmi më ka mbushur me hidhërim.
21 Unë u nisa në bollëk dhe Zoti më ktheu në shtëpi të zhveshur nga çdo gjë. Pse të më quani Naomi, kur Zoti ka dëshmuar kundër meje dhe i Plotfuqishmi më ka bërë fatkeqe?".
22 Kështu Naomi u kthye bashkë me Ruthin, nusen e saj, që kishte ardhur nga vendi i Moabit. Ato arritën në Betlem kur kishte filluar korrja e elbit.

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)

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.
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.
3 And Elimelech Naomi's husband died; and she was left, and her two sons.
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.
5 And Mahlon and Chilion died also both of them; and the woman was left of her two sons and her husband.
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.
7 Wherefore 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 unto the land of Judah.
8 And Naomi said unto her two daughters in law, Go, return each to her mother's house: the Lord deal kindly with you, as ye have dealt with the dead, and with me.
9 The Lord grant you that ye may find rest, each of you in the house of her husband. Then she kissed them; and they lifted up their voice, and wept.
10 And they said unto her, Surely we will return with thee unto thy people.
11 And Naomi said, Turn again, my daughters: why will ye go with me? are there yet any more sons in my womb, that they may be your husbands?
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;
13 Would ye tarry for them till they were grown? would ye stay for them from having husbands? nay, my daughters; for it grieveth me much for your sakes that the hand of the Lord is gone out against me.
14 And they lifted up their voice, and wept again: and Orpah kissed her mother in law; but Ruth clave unto her.
15 And she said, Behold, thy sister in law is gone back unto her people, and unto her gods: return thou after thy sister in law.
16 And Ruth said, Intreat me not to leave thee, or to return from following after thee: for whither thou goest, I will go; and where thou lodgest, I will lodge: thy people shall be my people, and thy God my God:
17 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 part thee and me.
18 When she saw that she was stedfastly minded to go with her, then she left speaking unto her.
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?
20 And she said unto them, Call me not Naomi, call me Mara: for the Almighty hath dealt very bitterly with me.
21 I went out full and the Lord hath brought me home again empty: why then call ye me Naomi, seeing the Lord hath testified against me, and the Almighty hath afflicted me?
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.
