1 Boaz yi ɖanɔ dua ƒe ƒuƒoƒe, eye eteƒe medidi o la, ekpɔ Elimelek ƒe ƒometɔ si ƒe nya wògblɔ na Rut. Eyɔe gblɔ nɛ be, “Nɔvinye, va nɔ gbɔnye le afii; medi be matsɔ nya aɖe aɖo wò ŋkume.”
UBhowazi wasesenyukela esangweni, wahlala phansi lapho. Khangela-ke, kwedlula isihlobo esingumhlengi leso uBhowazi ayekhulume ngaso. Wasesithi: Phambuka uhlale phansi lapha, we zibanibani. Wasephambuka, wahlala phansi.
2 Wonɔ anyi, eye Boaz yɔ dua ƒe ame tsitsiwo be woava nɔ anyi abe ɖasefowo ene.
Wasethatha amadoda alitshumi ebadaleni bomuzi, wathi: Hlalani phansi lapha. Asehlala phansi.
3 Boaz gblɔ na eƒe ƒometɔ la be, “Ènya Naomi, nyɔnu si gbɔ tso Moabnyigba dzi va mía gbɔa? Ele mía nɔvi Elimelek ƒe anyigba dzram,
Wasesithi kulesosihlobo esingumhlengi: Isiqinti sensimu esasingesomfowethu uElimeleki, uyasithengisa uNawomi, osebuyile evela elizweni lakoMowabi.
4 eye mekpɔ be ele be maƒo nu kpli wò tso eŋu, ale be ne èlɔ̃ la, nàƒlee le bubume siawo, ame siwo nye míaƒe ɖasefowo la ƒe ŋkume. Ne èdi be yeaƒlee la, ekema nàna manya fifi laa, elabena ne màƒlee o la, maƒlee. Wòe nye ame gbãtɔ si aƒlee; nyee nye evelia.” Ŋutsu la ɖo eŋu be, “Enyo, maƒlee.”
Ngakho mina ngithe: Ngikwembule endlebeni yakho ngisithi: Sithenge phambi kwabahlali laphambi kwabadala babantu bakithi. Uba uzasihlenga, sihlenge. Kodwa uba engekho ongasihlenga, ungitshele, ukuze ngazi; ngoba engekho ngaphandle kwakho ongasihlenga, mina-ke ngilandela wena. Wasesithi: Mina ngizasihlenga.
5 Boaz yi edzi be, “Ne èƒle anyigba la le Naomi si la, ekema ele na wò be nàɖe Rut, Moab nyɔnu la, ale be wòate ŋu adzi vi si alé srɔ̃a kukua ƒe ŋkɔ ɖe te, eye anyigba la nazu eƒe domenyinu.”
UBhowazi wasesithi: Mhla uthenga insimu esandleni sikaNawomi, uzayithenga lakuRuthe umMowabikazi, umfazi womuyi, ukuze umise ibizo lomuyi elifeni lakhe.
6 Ŋutsu la ɖo eŋu be, “Ekema nyemate ŋui o, elabena Rut viŋutsu ava anyi nye hã nye dome, eye wòagblẽ vinyewo ƒe domenyinuwo me, eya ta àte ŋu aƒlee faa.”
Lesosihlobo esingumhlengi sasesisithi: Ngingeke ngazihlengela sona, hlezi ngone ilifa lami. Zihlengele wena ilungelo lami lokuhlenga, ngoba kangilamandla okuhlenga.
7 Enye kɔnu le Israel ɣe ma ɣi be ne ame aɖe di be yeatsɔ yeƒe ɖuƒe na ame bubu la, ekema aɖe eƒe afɔkpa le afɔ atsɔ na amea le ɖasefowo ƒe ŋkume. Nuwɔna sia nye kpeɖodzi na amewo be nua zu ame evelia tɔ.
Lokhu-ke kwakukhona mandulo koIsrayeli mayelana lokuhlenga lokuntshintsha, ukuqinisa lonke udaba: umuntu akhiphe inyathela lakhe, alinike umakhelwane wakhe; lokhu-ke kwakuyibufakazi koIsrayeli.
8 Ale ŋutsu la ɖe eƒe afɔkpa esi wògblɔ na Boaz be, “Wò ŋutɔ àte ŋu aƒlee faa.”
Ngakho isihlobo esingumhlengi sathi kuBhowazi: Zithengele yona; sasesikhipha inyathela laso.
9 Ale Boaz gblɔ na ɖasefoawo kple ame siwo nɔ tsitre ƒo xlã wo la be, “Miekpɔ be egbe, eya ta meƒle Elimelek, Kilion kple Maxlon ƒe nuwo katã le Naomi si,
UBhowazi wasesithi kubadala lakubo bonke abantu: Lingabafakazi lamuhla bokuthi ngithengile konke okwakungokukaElimeleki lakho konke okwakungokukaKiliyoni lokukaMaheloni esandleni sikaNawomi.
10 eye mexɔ Rut, Moab nyɔnu la, ame si nye Maxlon srɔ̃ hã wòzu srɔ̃nye, ale be wòate ŋu adzi ŋutsuvi be srɔ̃a kukua ƒe ŋkɔ natsi eƒe domenyinuwo ŋu, eye eƒe ŋkɔ magabu le ƒomea kple dua me o.”
LoRuthe laye umMowabikazi, umkaMaheloni, ngizithengele ukuze abe ngumkami, ukuze ngimise ibizo likamuyi elifeni lakhe, ukuze ibizo lomuyi lingaqunywa lisuke phakathi kwabafowabo lesangweni lendawo yakhe. Lingabafakazi lamuhla.
11 Ale ame siwo katã nɔ agboa nu la gblɔ be, “Míenye ɖasefowo. Yehowa nana be nyɔnu sia, ame si gbɔna wò aƒe me fifia la nazu abe Rahel kple Lea, ame siwo tu Israel ƒe aƒe la katã la ene. Wò alɔ nade dzi le Efrata, eye nàxɔ ŋkɔ le Betlehem.
Bonke abantu ababesesangweni labadala basebesithi: Singabafakazi; kungathi iNkosi ingamenza lo owesifazana ongena endlini yakho abe njengoRasheli lanjengoLeya abakha bobabili indlu kaIsrayeli. Njalo wenze ngamandla eEfratha, uzenzele ibizo eBhethelehema,
12 Wò dzidzimevi siwo Yehowa ana wò to nyɔnu sia dzi la nana wò ƒome nanɔ abe Perez, ame si Tamar dzi na Yuda la tɔ ene.”
lendlu yakho ibe njengendlu kaPerezi uTamari amzalela uJuda, ngenzalo iNkosi ezakunika yona ngalo owesifazana omutsha.
13 Ale Boaz ɖe Rut wòzu srɔ̃a, eye esi wòdɔ egbɔ la, Yehowa na wòfɔ fu dzi ŋutsuvi.
Ngakho uBhowazi wamthatha uRuthe, waba ngumkakhe; wasengena kuye, iNkosi yamnika ukuthi athathe isisu, wazala indodana.
14 Nyɔnuwo gblɔ na Naomi be, “Woakafu Yehowa, ame si megblẽ wò ɖi le egbeŋkekea dzi, ale be ƒometɔ manɔ asiwò o; ɖevia naxɔ ŋkɔ le Israel blibo la me,
Abesifazana basebesithi kuNawomi: Kayibusiswe iNkosi engakutshiyanga ungelaso isihlobo esingumhlengi lamuhla, ukuthi ibizo laso limenyezelwe koIsrayeli!
15 nena wò agbenɔnɔ nazu yeye, eye wòakpɔ dziwò le wò nyagãkuku me, elabena lɔ̃xoyɔviwò, ame si lɔ̃ wò, ame si sɔ gbɔ na wò wu ŋutsuvi adre lae dzii na wò.”
Uzakuba kuwe ngumbuyisi wempilo lomondli wobudala bakho, ngoba umzele umalokazana wakho okuthandayo, ongcono kuwe kulamadodana ayisikhombisa.
16 Naomi xɔ ɖevi la da ɖe atata, eye wòkpɔ edzi.
UNawomi wasemthatha umntwana, wamfaka esifubeni sakhe, waba ngumlizane wakhe.
17 Nyɔnu siwo nɔ afi ma la gblɔ be, “Naomi dzi viŋutsu.” Wona ŋkɔe be Obed. Eyae dzi Yese, David fofo.
Omakhelwanekazi basebemutha ibizo besithi: Kulendodana ezalelwe uNawomi. Babiza ibizo layo uObedi; nguyise kaJese, uyise kaDavida.
18 Perez ƒe dzidzimeviwo yi ale: Perez dzi Hezron,
Lalezi yizizukulwana zikaPerezi. UPerezi wazala uHezironi,
19 Hezron dzi Ram, Ram dzi Aminadab, eye
uHezironi wasezala uRamu, uRamu wasezala uAminadaba,
