1 Na rĩrĩ, matukũ-inĩ marĩa atiirĩrĩri bũrũri maathanaga, nĩ kwagĩire na ngʼaragu bũrũri-inĩ, nake mũndũ ũmwe wa Bethilehemu kũu Juda, marĩ na mũtumia wake, na ariũ ake eerĩ, magĩthiĩ gũikara bũrũri wa Moabi kwa ihinda.
Pea naʻe hoko ʻo pehē, ʻi he ngaahi ʻaho naʻe pule ai ʻae kau fakamaau, naʻe tō ʻae honge ki he fonua. Pea ko e tangata ʻe tokotaha ʻo Petelihema Siuta naʻe ʻalu ia ke ʻāunofo ʻi he fonua ʻo Moape, ʻa ia, mo hono uaifi, mo hono ongo foha ʻe toko ua.
2 Mũndũ ũcio eetagwo Elimeleku, nake mũtumia wake eetagwo Naomi, namo marĩĩtwa ma ariũ acio ake eerĩ nĩ Mahaloni na Kilioni. Nao maarĩ Aefiratha kuuma Bethilehemu kũu Juda. Nao magĩthiĩ bũrũri wa Moabi magĩtũũra kuo.
Pea ko e hingoa ʻoe tangata ko ʻElimeleki, pea ko e hingoa ʻo hono uaifi ko Naomi, pea ko e hingoa ʻo hono ongo foha ko Maloni mo Kilioni, ko e kau ʻIfalemi ʻo Petelihema Siuta. Pea naʻa nau haʻu ki he fonua ko Moape, ʻo nofo ʻi ai.
3 Na rĩrĩ, Elimeleku mũthuuri wa Naomi agĩkua, nake Naomi agĩtigwo na ariũ acio ake eerĩ.
Pea naʻe pekia ʻa ʻElimeleki ko e husepāniti ʻo Naomi; pea naʻe nofo pe ia mo ʻene ongo tama.
4 Nao makĩhikia andũ-a-nja a Moabi, ũmwe eetagwo Oripa, na ũrĩa ũngĩ Ruthu. Thuutha wa gũtũũra kũu ta ihinda rĩa mĩaka ikũmi,
Pea naʻa na ʻomi hona uaifi mei he kau fefine Moape; ko e hingoa ʻoe tokotaha ko Opa, pea ko hono hingoa ʻoe tokotaha ko Lute: pea naʻa nau nonofo ʻi ai ʻi he taʻu ʻe hongofulu nai.
5 Mahaloni na Kilioni o nao magĩkua, nake Naomi agĩtigwo atarĩ na ariũ ake eerĩ, o na kana mũthuuri.
Pea naʻe pekia ai ʻa Māloni mo Kilioni fakatouʻosi pē; pea naʻe toʻo pehē mei he fefine ʻa ʻene ongo tama mo hono husepāniti.
6 Rĩrĩa Naomi aiguire arĩ kũu Moabi atĩ Jehova nĩateithĩtie andũ ake akamahe irio-rĩ, akĩĩhaarĩria hamwe na atumia acio a ariũ ake oime bũrũri wa Moabi acooke kwao.
Pea naʻe tuʻu hake ia mo ʻene ongo taʻahine ʻi he fono, koeʻuhi ke hiki ia mei he fonua ko Moape: he kuo ne ongoʻi ʻi he fonua ko Moape kuo ʻaʻahi ʻe Sihova ki hono kakai ʻi he foaki kiate kinautolu ʻae meʻakai.
7 We na atumia acio eerĩ a ariũ ake makiumagara kuuma kũu maatũũraga, makĩnyiita njĩra nĩguo macooke bũrũri wa Juda.
Ko ia naʻa ne ʻalu atu ai mei he potu naʻe ʻi ai ia, mo ʻene ongo taʻahine ʻi he fono mo ia; pea naʻa nau ʻalu atu pe ʻi he hala ke fononga ki he fonua ʻo Siuta.
8 Nake Naomi akĩĩra atumia acio eerĩ a ariũ ake atĩrĩ, “Cookai, o mũndũ athiĩ mũciĩ kwa nyina. Jehova aromwĩka maũndũ mega, o ta ũrĩa o na inyuĩ mwekire acio maakuire, o na niĩ mwene.
Pea naʻe pehē ʻe Naomi ki heʻene ongo taʻahine ʻi he fono, “Mo ō fakatouʻosi pe ʻo foki atu taki taha ki he fale ʻo ʻene faʻē: ke fai ʻofa ʻa Sihova kiate kimoua, ʻo hangē ko ia kuo mo fai ki he pekia, pea mo au.
9 Jehova arotũma o ũmwe wanyu eyonere ũhurũko mũciĩ wa mũthuuri ũngĩ.” Agĩcooka akĩmamumunya, nao makĩrĩra maanĩrĩire,
Ke tuku ʻe Sihova ke mo ʻilo ʻae fiemālie fakatouʻosi pe ʻi he fale ʻo homo husepāniti.” Pea naʻe toki ʻuma ia kiate kinaua; pea naʻa na hiki hona leʻo, ʻo tangi.
10 makĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Ithuĩ tũgũcooka nawe kũrĩ andũ anyu.”
Pea naʻa na pehē kiate ia, “Ko e moʻoni te ma ō mo koe ki ho kakai.
11 No Naomi akĩmeera atĩrĩ, “Aarĩ akwa, cookai mũciĩ kwanyu. Mũgũgĩthiĩ na niĩ nĩkĩ? Nĩngũkĩgĩa na ariũ angĩ nĩguo macooke matuĩke athuuri anyu?
Pea naʻe pehē ʻe Naomi, “ʻA ʻeku ongo taʻahine mo foki atu: ko e hā te tau ō ai mo au? He ʻoku kei toe ha tama ʻi hoku fatu, koeʻuhi ke na hoko ko homo husepāniti?
12 Aarĩ akwa, cookai kwanyu mũciĩ; niĩ ndĩ mũkũrũ mũno wa kũgĩa na mũthuuri ũngĩ. O na ingĩĩciiria atĩ harĩ na mwĩhoko harĩ niĩ, na ngĩe na mũthuuri ũtukũ ũyũ na njiare aanake-rĩ,
Mo foki atu ʻa ʻeku ongo taʻahine, pea ʻalu ʻi homo hala: he kuo u motuʻa fau ke toe maʻu ha husepāniti. Ka ne u pehē ʻeau, ʻOku ou ʻamanaki lelei, pea ka ne maʻu ʻeau ha husepāniti he poōni foki, pea u fanauʻi ʻae tama tangata;
13 mwakĩmeterera o nginya hĩndĩ ĩrĩa makaagimara? No mũikare mũtahikĩte mũmetereire? Aca, aarĩ akwa. Niĩ ndĩ na ruo kũmũkĩra, nĩgũkorwo guoko kwa Jehova nĩgũtambũrũkĩte gũkanjũkĩrĩra!”
He te mo tatali ki ai ke ʻoua ke na tupu? Te mo faʻa tatali ki ai, pea ʻoua naʻa maʻu ha husepāniti? ʻE ʻikai, ʻa ʻeku ongo taʻahine; he ʻoku ou mamahi lahi koeʻuhi ko kimoua ʻi heʻene mafao mai ʻae nima ʻo Sihova kiate au.”
14 Nao maigua ũguo makĩrĩra rĩngĩ. Nake Oripa akĩmumunya nyaciarawe, akĩmuugĩra ũhoro. No Ruthu akĩrũmanĩrĩra na nyaciarawe.
Pea naʻa na hiki hake hona leʻo, ʻo toe tangi: pea ʻuma ʻa Opa ki heʻene faʻē ʻi he fono; ka naʻe pikitai ʻa Lute kiate ia.
15 Nake Naomi akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Ta rora, mũtumia wa mũrũ wa nyina na mũthuuriguo nĩahũndũka acooke kũrĩ andũ ao, o na kũrĩ ngai ciake. Cooka mũthiĩ nake.”
Pea pehē ʻe ia, “Vakai, kuo toe liu atu ʻa ho tokoua ʻi he fono ki hono kakai, pea ki hono ngaahi ʻotua: ke ke foki koe ʻo muimui atu ki ho tokoua ʻi he fono.”
16 No Ruthu akĩmũcookeria, akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Tiga kũningĩrĩria ngũtige kana ngarũrũke ndige gũkũrũmĩrĩra. Kũrĩa ũgũthiĩ nĩkuo ngũthiĩ, na kũrĩa ũgaatũũra nĩkuo ngaatũũra. Andũ anyu magaatuĩka andũ aitũ, nake Ngai waku atuĩke Ngai wakwa.
Pea naʻe pehē ʻe Lute, “ʻOua naʻa ke kole ke u liʻaki koe, pe ke u foki mei heʻeku muimui ʻiate koe: he ko e potu ʻoku ke ʻalu ki ai, te ta ō ai; pea ko e potu te ke mohe ai, te ta mohe ai: ko ho kakai ʻe hoko ko hoku kakai, pea ko ho ʻOtua ko hoku ʻOtua:
17 Kũrĩa ũgaakuĩra nĩkuo ngaakuĩra, na nokuo ngaathikwo. Jehova aronjĩka ũũru makĩria, kũngĩkaagĩa ũndũ o na ũmwe ũgaatũtigithania niĩ nawe, tiga o gĩkuũ giiki!”
Ko e potu te ke mate ai, te u mate ai, pea te u tanu ʻi ai: ke fai pehē ʻe Sihova kiate au, pea lahi hake, ʻo kapau ʻe ai ha meʻa te ta māvae ai mo koe ka ko e mate pe.”
18 Rĩrĩa Naomi onire atĩ Ruthu nĩatuĩte itua rĩa gũthiĩ nake, agĩtiga kũmũringĩrĩria acooke.
Pea ʻi heʻene vakai ʻoku loto mālohi pe ia ke na ō mo ia, naʻe tuku ʻene kei lea ki ai.
19 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio andũ acio a nja eerĩ magĩthiĩ nginya magĩkinya Bethilehemu. Rĩrĩa maakinyire Bethilehemu-rĩ, andũ a itũũra rĩu othe makĩgega nĩ ũndũ wao, nao andũ-a-nja makĩũrania atĩrĩ, “Hĩ! Ũyũ no akorwo arĩ Naomi?”
Pea ko ia, naʻa na ō ai ke na hoko ki Petelihema. Pea ʻi heʻena hoko ki Petelihema, pea pehē, naʻe ngatū ʻae kolo kotoa pē koeʻuhi ko kinaua, pea nau fepehēʻaki, “Ko Naomi eni?”
20 Nake akĩmeera atĩrĩ, “Tigai gũcooka kũnjĩta Naomi, njĩtagaai Mara, nĩ ũndũ Ngai Mwene-Hinya-Wothe nĩatũmĩte mũtũũrĩre wakwa ũtuĩke wa ruo mũno.
Pea naʻe pehē ʻe ia kiate kinautolu, “ʻOua naʻa ui au ko Naomi kae ui au ko Mala: he kuo fai fakamamahi lahi kiate au ʻe he Māfimafi.
21 Ndoimire gũkũ njiyũrĩrĩire, no Jehova anjookia itarĩ kĩndũ. Mũngĩcooka kũnjĩta Naomi nĩkĩ? Jehova nĩanyariirĩte; Mwene-Hinya-Wothe nĩandehithĩirie mathĩĩna.”
Naʻaku ʻalu kituʻa kuo u fonu, pea kuo toe ʻomi au ʻe Sihova ki ʻapi kuo u maha: pea koeʻumaʻā hoʻomou ui au ko Naomi, he kuo tukuakiʻi au ʻe Sihova, pea kuo fakamamahiʻi au ʻe he Māfimafi?”
22 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio Naomi agĩcooka kuuma Moabi marĩ hamwe na Ruthu ũcio Mũmoabi, mũtumia wa mũriũ, magĩkinya Bethilehemu hĩndĩ ĩrĩa cairi yaambagĩrĩria kũgethwo.
Ko ia naʻe liu mai ʻa Naomi, mo Lute ko e fefine Moape, ko ʻene tama ʻi he fono naʻe haʻu mo ia, ʻaia naʻe haʻu mei he fonua ko Moape: pea naʻa na hoko ki Petelihema ʻi he kamataʻanga ʻoe ututaʻu paʻale.
