Enti, Rut kɔ kɔdii atwafoɔ no akyi. Na sɛdeɛ ɛbaeɛ ne sɛ, ɔhunuu sɛ ɔreyɛ adwuma wɔ Boas a ɔyɛ nʼase Elimelek busuani no afuo mu.
4 O hĩndĩ ĩyo Boazu agĩkinya oimĩte Bethilehemu, na akĩgeithia acio maagethaga, akĩmeera atĩrĩ, “Jehova aroikara na inyuĩ!” Nao makĩmũcookeria atĩrĩ, “Jehova arokũrathima!”

5 Boazu akĩũria mũrũgamĩrĩri wa acio maagethaga atĩrĩ, “Mũirĩtu ũũrĩa nĩ wa ũ?”
Ɛnna Boas bisaa ne sohwɛfoɔ sɛ, “Ababaawa bɛn na ɔwɔ nohoa hɔ no?”
6 Nake mũrũgamĩrĩri akĩmũcookeria atĩrĩ, “Nĩ Mũmoabi ũrĩa wokire na Naomi kuuma bũrũri wa Moabi.
Sohwɛfoɔ no buaa sɛ, “Ɔyɛ ababaawa bi a ɔfiri Moab a ɔne Naomi baeɛ.
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.”
Anɔpa yi ara na ɔbisaa me sɛ, ɔbɛtumi aboaboa atokoɔ ano adi atwafoɔ no akyi anaa. Ɔyɛ nsiyɛfoɔ a ɛberɛ kakra bi na ɔde homee wɔ pata no ase hɔ.”
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.
Boas kɔɔ hɔ kɔka kyerɛɛ Rut sɛ, “Me babaa tie. Wo ne yɛn ntena ha ara na boaboa atokoɔ; mma nkɔ afuo foforɔ biara mu. Di mmaa a wɔreyɛ adwuma wɔ mʼafuo yi mu no akyi pɛɛ.
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.”

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?”
Rut butuiɛ, de nʼanim kyerɛɛ fam daa no ase. Na ɔkaa sɛ, “Adɛn enti na manya saa adom yi wɔ wʼani so, me a meyɛ ɔnanani yi?”
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.
Boas buaa sɛ, “Deɛ woayɛ ama wʼase ɛfiri wo kunu wuo akyi no nyinaa, wɔaka akyerɛ me, sɛ wofirii wʼagya ne wo maame ne wo ɔman na wo ne nnipa a wonnim wɔn baabiara no bɛtenaeɛ no.
12 Jehova arokũrĩha nĩ ũndũ wa ũguo wĩkĩte. Jehova Ngai wa Isiraeli, o ũrĩa wee ũũkĩte kwĩhitha mathagu-inĩ make, arokũrĩha na irĩhi inene.”
Awurade, Israel Onyankopɔn a woanya dwanekɔbea wɔ ne ntaban ase no nnom wo.”
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.”
Na ɔno nso kaa sɛ, “Ma menkɔ so nnya wʼanim adom daa, me wura. Woama me awerɛkyekyerɛ na woakasa akyerɛ wʼafenaa ayamyɛ so, me a mensɛ na memfata wo nnwumayɛfoɔ no mu baako mpo no.”
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.
Ɛduruu adidiberɛ no, Boas frɛɛ no sɛ, “Bra ma yɛnnidi. Wotumi de wo burodo no bɔ nsã biara a wopɛ mu.” Enti, ɔne nʼayutwafoɔ no tenaa ase na Boas maa no aduane sene sɛdeɛ ɔbɛtumi adi mpo.
15 Na hĩndĩ ĩrĩa ookĩrire akahaare-rĩ, Boazu agĩatha andũ ake akĩmeera atĩrĩ, “O na ahaara kũu itĩĩa-inĩ, mũtikamũtetie.
Ɛberɛ a Rut sane kɔɔ nʼadwuma so bio no, Boas ka kyerɛɛ ne mmeranteɛ no sɛ, “Momma no mmoaboa atokoɔ no ano mfiri nʼafiafi no mu na monnsi no kwan.
16 O na nĩ kaba mũrutage cairi ĩmwe kuuma itĩĩa-inĩ, mũmĩrekie thĩ nĩ ũndũ wake, mũmũtigĩre nĩguo oke akĩmĩhaaraga, no mũtikamũtetie.”
Na monyiyi afiafi no mu deɛ no bi nnyae mu ngu fam mma no na ɔnsesa, na monnha no.”
17 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio Ruthu akĩhaara kũu mũgũnda ũcio nginya o hwaĩ-inĩ. Agĩcooka akĩhũũra cairi ĩrĩa aahaarĩte, ĩgĩkinyia mũigana wa eba ĩmwe.
Enti, Rut sesaa atokoɔ no wɔ hɔ da mu no nyinaa na ɔporoo atokoɔ no saa anwummerɛ no, ɔnyaa bɛyɛ lita aduonu mmienu.
18 Akĩmĩkuua, agĩcooka itũũra-inĩ, nake nyaciarawe akĩona cairi ĩrĩa yothe aahaarĩte. Ruthu agĩcooka akĩmũrutĩra kĩrĩa aatigĩtie aahũũna, akĩmũnengera.
Ɔsoa de kɔɔ kurom, de kɔkyerɛɛ nʼase. Afei, Rut de nʼawiaduane a ɔgya sii ne hɔ no maa no.
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.”
Naomi hunuiɛ no, ɔteaam sɛ, “Ɛdɔɔso yie! Na ɛhe na ɛnnɛ woboaboaa saa atokoɔ yi nyinaa ano firi? Ɛhe na wokɔyɛɛ adwuma? Awurade nhyira deɛ ɔboaa wo no!” Rut kaa ɔbarima a ɔyɛɛ adwuma wɔ nʼafuom no ho asɛm kyerɛɛ nʼase no, ɔtoaa so kaa sɛ, “Deɛ meyɛɛ adwuma wɔ nʼafuom no, wɔfrɛ no Boas.”
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.”
Naomi ka kyerɛɛ nʼase no sɛ, “Awurade nhyira no. Ɔrekyerɛ yɛn ne wo kunu a wawuo no nʼayamyɛ. Saa ɔbarima no yɛ abusuafoɔ a wɔbɛn yɛn pɛɛ no mu baako a ɔyɛ abusua no mu ɔgyefoɔ baako.”
21 Nake Ruthu ũcio Mũmoabi akiuga atĩrĩ, “O na anjĩĩrire atĩrĩ, ‘Ikara na aruti akwa a wĩra o nginya marĩkie kũgetha cairi yakwa yothe.’”
Rut kaa sɛ, “Deɛ ɛka ho bio ne sɛ, mpo, Boas ka kyerɛɛ me sɛ, mensane mmra na me ne nʼatwafoɔ no mmɛtena kɔsi ɛberɛ a wɔbɛwie otwa no.”
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.”
