19 Te dongah amih rhoi te Bethlehem a pha duela cet rhoi. Bethlehem a pha rhoi van neh amih rhoi kongah khopuei boeih te pangngawl tih, “Naomi a te?” a ti uh.
Ɛno nti, wɔn baanu no toaa wɔn akwantu no so. Bere a woduu Betlehem no, wɔn nti kurow mu no nyinaa bɔɔ twi. Mmea no bisae se, “Naomi ni ana?”
20 Tedae amih taengah tah, “Kai he Naomi la ng'khue uh boeh, Tlungthang loh kai mat m'phaep coeng dongah kai he Mara la ng'khue uh mai.
Ɔkae se, “Mommfrɛ me Naomi, na mmom, momfrɛ me Mara, efisɛ Awurade ama asetena ayɛ nwen ama me.
21 Kai he khangrhueng la ka cet van dae BOEIPA loh kuttling la kai m'bal sak. Balae tih kai te Naomi la nang khue uh. BOEIPA loh kai n'doo tih Tlungthang loh kai soah thae a huet coeng,” a ti nah.
