1 Na rĩrĩ, Naomi nĩarĩ na mũndũ wa mbarĩ yao mwena wa mũthuuriwe, kuuma mũhĩrĩga wa Elimeleku, mũndũ warĩ igweta, wetagwo Boazu.
Nawomi yalina mulamu we, ng’ava mu kika kya bba, Erimereki, nga mugagga, erinnya lye nga ye Bowaazi.
2 Nake Ruthu ũcio Mũmoabi akĩĩra Naomi atĩrĩ, “Reke thiĩ mĩgũnda-inĩ ngahaare cairi ĩrĩa ĩtigĩtio; ndĩ thuutha wa mũndũ o wothe ũrĩa ingĩĩtĩkĩrĩka maitho-inĩ make.” Nake Naomi akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Thiĩ, mwarĩ wakwa.”
Awo Luusi Omumowaabu n’agamba Nawomi nti, “Ka ŋŋende mu nnimiro okulonda ebirimba bya sayiri, ngoberere oyo anankwatirwa ekisa.” Nawomi n’amuddamu nti, “Genda, muwala wange.”
3 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio akiumagara agĩthiĩ, akĩambĩrĩria kũhaara cairi kũu mĩgũnda-inĩ arĩ thuutha wa arĩa maagethaga. Na gũgĩkinya atĩrĩ, Ruthu ekorire akĩruta wĩra mũgũnda wa Boazu, ũcio warĩ wa mũhĩrĩga wa Elimeleku.
Amangwago, n’agenda, n’atandika okulonda mu nnimiro abakunguzi we bayise. Awo ne yesanga ng’atuuse mu nnimiro ya Bowaazi, ow’omu kika kya Erimereki.
4 O hĩndĩ ĩyo Boazu agĩkinya oimĩte Bethilehemu, na akĩgeithia acio maagethaga, akĩmeera atĩrĩ, “Jehova aroikara na inyuĩ!” Nao makĩmũcookeria atĩrĩ, “Jehova arokũrathima!”
Mu kiseera kye kimu Bowaazi n’atuuka okuva e Besirekemu, n’agamba abakunguzi be nti, “Mukama Katonda abeere nammwe.” Nabo ne bamuddamu nti, “Naawe Mukama Katonda akuwe omukisa.”
5 Boazu akĩũria mũrũgamĩrĩri wa acio maagethaga atĩrĩ, “Mũirĩtu ũũrĩa nĩ wa ũ?”
Awo Bowaazi n’abuuza nampala wa bakunguzi be nti, “Omuwala ono w’ani?”
6 Nake mũrũgamĩrĩri akĩmũcookeria atĩrĩ, “Nĩ Mũmoabi ũrĩa wokire na Naomi kuuma bũrũri wa Moabi.
N’amuddamu nti, “Ono ye muwala Omumowaabu eyajja ne Nawomi okuva e Mowaabu.
7 Nake oigire atĩrĩ, ‘Ndagũthaitha ũnjĩtĩkĩrie haare cairi, na nyũnganie ĩrĩa ĩtigĩtio itĩĩa-inĩ ndĩ thuutha wa agethi.’ Nake aathiĩ mũgũnda, na arutĩte wĩra ategũtigithĩria kuuma o rũciinĩ nginya rĩu, tiga o ihinda inini ekũhurũkĩte haarĩa kĩĩruru-inĩ.”
Atwegayiridde alondelonde abakunguzi we bayise mu binywa, era asiibye akola okuva obw’enkya okutuusa essaawa eno, okuggyako akabanga akatono ke yawumuddemu.”
8 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio Boazu akĩĩra Ruthu atĩrĩ, “Mwarĩ wakwa, ta thikĩrĩria, ndũgathiĩ kũhaara cairi mũgũnda ũngĩ, na ndũkae kuuma gũkũ. Ikara gũkũ mũrĩ na ndungata ciakwa cia airĩtu.
Awo Bowaazi n’agamba Luusi nti, “Wuliriza, muwala ggwe. Togendanga n’olondanga mu nnimiro endala yonna, tovanga mu eno, naye obeeranga wamu nabaweereza bange abawala.
9 Ũrorage mũgũnda ũrĩa arũme aya megũkorwo makĩgetha, na ũtwaranage na airĩtu acio. Nĩndakaania arũme aya matigakũhutie. Na rĩrĩa rĩothe ũngĩnyoota, ũthiĩ ũnyue maaĩ kuuma ndigithũ-inĩ iria arũme aya matahĩrĩire.”
Gendereranga ennimiro basajja bange mwe bamaze okukungula, era ogobererenga abawala. Abasajja mbalagidde obutakutawanya. Era ennyonta bw’ekulumanga, onywenga ku mazzi abasajja ge basenye.”
10 Rĩrĩa Ruthu aiguire ũguo, akĩinamĩrĩra, agĩturumithia ũthiũ thĩ. Akiuga atĩrĩ, “Nĩ kĩĩ gĩatũma njĩtĩkĩrĩke maitho-inĩ maku na wenda kũnjĩka maũndũ mega, ndĩ o mũndũ wa kũngĩ?”
Awo Luusi bwe yawulira ebyo, n’avuunama ku ttaka, ng’agamba nti, “Ng’ondaze ekisa mu maaso go, n’onfaako nze, munnaggwanga.”
11 Boazu akĩmũcookeria atĩrĩ, “Nĩnjĩĩrĩtwo maũndũ marĩa mothe wĩkĩte nyaciaraguo kuuma hĩndĩ ĩrĩa mũthuuriguo aakuire, na ũrĩa watiganire na thoguo na nyũkwa, o na bũrũri wanyu, ũgĩũka kũrĩ andũ ũtaamenyanĩte nao mbere ĩyo.
Naye Bowaazi n’addamu nti, “By’okoledde nnyazaala wo kasookedde balo afa, ne bwe waleka kitaawo ne nnyoko era n’abantu bo n’ojja mu nsi ey’abantu botomanyi, babintegezezza byonna.
12 Jehova arokũrĩha nĩ ũndũ wa ũguo wĩkĩte. Jehova Ngai wa Isiraeli, o ũrĩa wee ũũkĩte kwĩhitha mathagu-inĩ make, arokũrĩha na irĩhi inene.”
Mukama Katonda wa Isirayiri gwe weeyuna wansi w’ebiwaawaatiro bye, akusasule olw’ebyo by’okoze. MukamaKatonda wa Isirayiri, oyo gwe weewagamye wansi w’ebiwawaatiro bye, akuwe empeera ennene ddala.”
13 Nake Ruthu akiuga atĩrĩ, “Mwathi wakwa, ndĩrookĩrĩrĩria gwĩtĩkĩrĩka maitho-inĩ maku. Nĩũũhooreretie, na ũkaarĩria ndungata yaku ndeto njega cia tha, o na gũtuĩka niĩ ndirĩ ta ũmwe wa ndungata ciaku cia airĩtu.”
Awo Luusi n’addamu nti, “Nneeyongere okulaba ekisa mu maaso go mukama wange, kubanga oyogedde ebigambo ebyekisa eri omuweereza wo era emmeeme yange ogizizza mu nteeko wadde nga sigwanira kuba omu ku baweereza bo.”
14 Hĩndĩ ya kũrĩa irio yakinya, Boazu akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Ũka haha. Oya mũgate ũũtobokie thiki-inĩ ya ndibei.” Rĩrĩa Ruthu aikarire thĩ na agethi, Boazu akĩmũhe cairi hĩhie. Nake akĩrĩa akĩhũũna, o nginya agĩtigia.
Ekiseera ekyokulya bwe kyatuuka, Bowaazi n’agamba Luusi nti, “Jjangu okoze omugaati gwo mu wayini akatuuse.” Awo Luusi bwe yatuula wansi, Bowaazi n’amuwa sayiri ensiike, n’alya, n’akkuta, n’emulemera nawo.
15 Na hĩndĩ ĩrĩa ookĩrire akahaare-rĩ, Boazu agĩatha andũ ake akĩmeera atĩrĩ, “O na ahaara kũu itĩĩa-inĩ, mũtikamũtetie.
Oluvannyuma ng’okulya kuwedde, n’agolokoka agende alonde, era Bowaazi n’alagira abaddu be nti, “Ne bw’anaalonda mu binywa temumugaana.
16 O na nĩ kaba mũrutage cairi ĩmwe kuuma itĩĩa-inĩ, mũmĩrekie thĩ nĩ ũndũ wake, mũmũtigĩre nĩguo oke akĩmĩhaaraga, no mũtikamũtetie.”
Wakiri, mumuleke yerondere mu miganda so temumuwuuna.”
17 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio Ruthu akĩhaara kũu mũgũnda ũcio nginya o hwaĩ-inĩ. Agĩcooka akĩhũũra cairi ĩrĩa aahaarĩte, ĩgĩkinyia mũigana wa eba ĩmwe.
Awo Luusi n’alonda mu nnimiro okutuuka akawungeezi, oluvannyuma n’awuula ne sayiri gye yali akuŋŋaanyizza, n’aweza nga kilo kkumi na ssatu.
18 Akĩmĩkuua, agĩcooka itũũra-inĩ, nake nyaciarawe akĩona cairi ĩrĩa yothe aahaarĩte. Ruthu agĩcooka akĩmũrutĩra kĩrĩa aatigĩtie aahũũna, akĩmũnengera.
Yonna n’agyetikka, n’agitwala mu kibuga, ne nnyazaala we n’agiraba. Era yamuleetera ne ku mmere gye yali afissizzaawo.
19 Nyaciarawe akĩmũũria atĩrĩ, “Ũmũthĩ uuma kũhaara kũ? Uuma kũruta wĩra kũ? Kũrathimwo nĩ mũndũ ũcio ũkũmenyire, agwĩka maũndũ mega!” Nake Ruthu akĩhe nyaciarawe ũhoro ũkoniĩ mwene mũgũnda ũcio aatindĩte akĩruta wĩra, akiuga atĩrĩ, “Mwene mũgũnda ũcio ngũrutaga wĩra gwake ũmũthĩ-rĩ, etagwo Boazu.”
Nnyazaala we yasanyuka nnyo, era n’amubuuza nti, “Wakoze mu nnimiro y’ani leero? Aweebwe omukisa oyo akukwatiddwa ekisa!” Awo Luusi n’abuulira nnyazaala we nannyini nnimiro mwe yakoze, n’erinnya ly’omwami nga ye Bowaazi.
20 Naomi akĩĩra mũtumia ũcio wa mũriũ atĩrĩ, “Jehova aromũrathima! We ndatigĩte gwĩka maũndũ ma ũtugi kũrĩ arĩa me muoyo, o na arĩa makuĩte.” Ningĩ Naomi akĩĩra Ruthu atĩrĩ, “Mũndũ ũcio nĩ wa mbarĩ iitũ; o na nĩ ũmwe wa arĩa mangĩtũmenyerera.”
Nawomi namugamba nti, “Mukama Katonda atalekanga kulaga kisa eri abalamu n’abafu, amuwe omukisa. Anti omusajja oyo muganda waffe ddala, era y’omu ku banunuzi baffe ddala.”
21 Nake Ruthu ũcio Mũmoabi akiuga atĩrĩ, “O na anjĩĩrire atĩrĩ, ‘Ikara na aruti akwa a wĩra o nginya marĩkie kũgetha cairi yakwa yothe.’”
Luusi Omumowaabu n’ayongerako nti, “N’okuŋŋamba yaŋŋambye nti nkolere wamu n’abakozi be okutuusa lwe balimala eby’okukungula bye.”
22 Naomi akĩĩra Ruthu ũcio mũtumia wa mũriũ atĩrĩ, “Ũndũ ũcio wa gũtwarana na airĩtu ake nĩũgũtuĩka mwega harĩwe, wee mwarĩ wakwa, tondũ mũgũnda-inĩ wa mũndũ ũngĩ wahota kũgerwo ngero.”
Awo Nawomi n’agamba Luusi muka mwana we nti, “Kijja kuba kirungi nnyo muwala wange, okubeeranga kumpi nabaweereza be abakazi, kubanga singa onoogenda mu nnimiro y’omulala akabi kayinza okukutuukako.”
23 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio Ruthu agĩikara hakuhĩ na ndungata cia airĩtu cia Boazu akĩhaaraga nginya magetha ma cairi na ma ngano magĩthira. Nake agĩtũũra na nyaciarawe.
Awo Luusi n’abeeranga kumpi n’abaweereza ba Bowaazi ng’alonda okutuusa amakungula ga sayiri n’eŋŋaano bwe gaggwa, n’abeeranga wamu ne nnyazaala we.
