UNawomi wayelesihlobo sakwabozala, indoda eyayinothile osendweni luka-Elimeleki, ibizo layo linguBhowazi.
2 Mago zupa Ruti'a Moaputi a'mo, Naomi asmino, Natrege'na hozafi vu'na atresaza bali raga knarerema hunantesage'na tragama hanaza naga zamage nevu'na zogi'neno. Higeno Naomi'a mofa'nimoka, tagri tavutvakinka amne vugahane huno hunte'ne. (Diut 24: 19)
URuthe umʼMowabi wathi kuNawomi, “Yekela ngiye emasimini ngiyedobha inhlamvu zamabele asala emuva kulowo ozakuba lomusa kimi.” UNawomi wathi, “Kulungile, hamba ndodakazi yami.”
3 Higeno Ruti'a vuno bali raga traga nehaza vahe zamage nevuno evuramiama'a zogi atru huno vu'ne. E'i ana eri'zama eri'neana Elimeleki nagapinti ne' Boasi hozafi eri'zana eri'neankino agra Boasi hoze huno ontahi'ne.
Wasehamba, wafika wadobha amabele asala ngemuva kwabavunayo. Kwenzakala ukuthi wafika wasebenza ensimini kaBhowazi, owayengowosendo luka-Elimeleki.
4 Anama nehia knafi Boasi'a Betlehem kumateti eno, hoza traga nehaza vahe'agu kezatino Ra Anumzamo'a tamagrane manigahie, hige'za zamagra nona'a, Ra Anumzamo'a asomu hugantesie, hu'za hu'naze.
Kwasekufika uBhowazi evela eBhethilehema, wabingelela abavuni wathi, “UThixo kabe lani!” Baphendula bathi, “UThixo akubusise!”
5 Boasi'a, hoza traga nehaza vahe'mokizmi kva ne' antahigeno, Amu zahufa ara aza naga nofipinti a' emani'ne?
UBhowazi wabuza inceku yakhe eyayikhangele abavunayo wathi, “Intombi le ngekabani?”
6 Hagi bali traga nehaza vahe'te kva ne'mo anage hu'ne, Agra Moabuti zahufa are, Moabu kumateti Naomi'ene magoka ena'e.
Yena wathi, “NgeyaseMowabi eyabuya loNawomi.
7 Ruti'a eme nantahigeno, Knare bali tragahu vahe'mokizmi zamage nevu'na, bali raga ko'nama ananekisafinti evu ramisiama'a zogi atru hutere hugaho? Huno hige'na, knarere hunte'noe. E'neregati nantera agafa huno hamponatino tusi eri'za manigsa osu enerino, tona nompina osi'a kna manigsa hu'ne.
Uthe, ‘Ngicela ukudobha okusalayo phakathi kwezithungo ngemva kwabavunayo.’ Ulokhu efike emasimini ekuseni lokhu esebenza kuze kube khathesi, ngaphandle kokuphumula kancinyane nje emthunzini.”
8 Higeno Boasi'a anage Rutinku hu'ne, Mofanimoka antahi ankero, mago hozafina atrenka vunka bali raga ome zogi atru osutfa huo. Kagra ama'na hozafinti'ra, atrenka ru hozafina ovugahane. Eri'za a'ne nagani'ane tragotenka eri'zana erigahane.
UBhowazi wasesithi kuRuthe, “Lalela lapha-ke ndodakazi yami. Ungaze wayadobha kwenye insimu, ungasuki lapha. Hlala lapha lamantombazana azincekukazi zami.
9 Ke ankerenka vene'nemo'za e'ina hozafi eri'zana eri'zanki nehunka, eri'za a'ne naga zamage huo. Vene'nemo'za kvako osiho hu'na nagra zamasmigahue. Kagri'ma tinku kavesisnigenka, vunka vene'nemo'za ome afi'za eme ante'naza kavofinti afinka no.
Nanzelela leyonsimu lapho amadoda avuna khona, wena ulandele amantombazana. Ngiwalayile amadoda ukuba angakuhluphi. Ungezwa usuwomile, uhambe uyenatha ezimbizeni ezikhelelwe zagcwaliswa ngamadoda.”
10 Ruti'a agiafi rena reno avugosa mopafi hunteno, agrikura anage hu'ne, Nahigenka nagrira knare'zana hunantenka, nagrikura kagesa antahi nenamine, nagrama ru mopareti a'ma mani'noana?
Ekuzwa lokhu uRuthe wathi mbo phansi ngobuso, wambuza wathi, “Kungani ngifumane umusa ongaka kuwe uze ungizwele mina ngingowezizweni?”
11 Higeno, Boasi'a nona'a Rutinku anage hu'ne, Maka'zama negave'ma fri'nereti'ma negnoferoma huntenka e'nana'zane, negafane, anta'kane, mopaka'anema atretenka kora antahinka, kenka osu'nana vahe'enena emani'nana kagenke ka'a ko nagrira nasmige'na antahi'noe.
UBhowazi wathi, “Sengitsheliwe ngakho konke owakwenzela unyokozala kusukela ekufeni komkakho lokuthi watshiya uyihlo lonyoko lelizwe lakini weza ukuzahlala labantu owawungabazi ngaphambilini.
12 Anama hu'nana nona'a, Ramo mizana kamisie. Knare kvukva zantera Israeli Ra Anumzamo nona huno ante avitegantesie, kagrama kva hunante'snie, hunkama hu'nana Anumzamo asomu hugantesie.
Sengathi uThixo angakupha umvuzo ngalokhu okwenzileyo. Sengathi uThixo, uNkulunkulu ka-Israyeli, oze ukuphephela ngaphansi kwamaphiko akhe angakupha umvuzo omkhulu.”
13 Anante Ruti'a anage hu'ne, Kagra knare'za nagrira hunenantane ramoka, na'ankure nagra mago kagri eri'za ara omani'noanagi, kagra nazeri so'e nehunka, knare keaga hunami'nane.
URuthe wathi, “Sengathi ngingaqhubeka ngithola umusa kuwe, nkosi yami. Usungiphe ukududuzeka njalo ukhulume ngomusa encekukazini yakho loba ngingafanele ukuba ngomunye wamantombazana azincekukazi zakho.”
14 Henka ne'za nenaza knare, Boasi'a Rutinku anage hu'ne, Amare enka breti eme nenenka, hagi breti ka'a vinega timpi refru hunka no! Higeno bali tragahu vahe'mokizmi zamasoparega umani'negeno tevefi kre hagege hu'naza bali raga refko humigeno Ruti'a neteno amu higeno mago'a eriri'ne.
Ngesikhathi sokudla, uBhowazi wathi kuye, “Woza lapha. Nansi isinkwa, dlana utshebe ngewayini elileviniga.” Wahlala phansi labavunayo, uBhowazi wasemupha amabele akhanzingiweyo. Wadla wasutha waze watshiya.
15 Anante Ruti'a otino bali raga eri atru hunaku nevigeno, Boasi'a eri'za vahe'a zamasmino, Atrenkeno ama a'mo'a bali raga ko'na'ma anakinte'naza amu'nompi vano nehuno zoneginigeta ahe onatiho.
Esesukuma ukuthi ayebutha, uBhowazi walaya amadoda wathi, “Loba angaze adobhe phakathi kwezithungo, lingaze lamhlupha.
16 Anahu kna hutma agri tfana, ko'na anakintepintira raga'a rmina avazuhu atre'nenkeno agra zogirino, hagi i'o hutma huonteho.
Kodwa, hwatshani amanye amahlanga ezithungweni limtshiyele ukuze adobhe kuwo, lingaze lamkhuza.”
17 Ana higeno Ruti'a hozafinti bali raga zogi atru nehigeno vuno kinaga se'ne. Anante agrama zogi atru huno hareno eriri'nea bali rgamofo kna'amo'a 10ni'o, 13ni'a kilo naza fore hu'ne.
Ngakho uRuthe wadobha ensimini kwaze kwahwalala. Wasebhula ibhali ayeyidobhile, yagcwala phamu amagokoko amabili.
18 Hagi Ruti'a zogirino, erino rankumate vigeno, nenofero'a nama'a zogirino e'neo ke'ne. Agra mago'a kre hagegehu balima feru nenegeno amu'ma higeno eriri'nea bali raga ne'zana Naomina hefimi'ne.
Wayithwala waya layo ngekhaya, uninazala wabona lokho ayekuvunile. URuthe wakhupha ayekutshiyile esedle wasutha, weza lakho wamupha.
19 Naomi'a, nenoferona amanage huno antahige'ne, Inante menina bali raga eritru hu'nane? Iza hozafi eri'zana eri'nane? Aza'o kagriku'ma agesa antahino kza hu'nesimofona asomu huntegahie. Higeno Ruti'a nenoferona aza'ene eri'zana eri'neo, nesmino anage hu'ne, Nagrama menima eri'zama erinte'noa ne'mofo agi'a, Boasi'e huno asmi'ne.
Uninazala wabuza wathi, “Udobhe ngaphi lamhlanje? Usebenze ngaphi? Ubusisiwe lowomuntu okunanzeleleyo!” URuthe wasemtshela uninazala ngalowo lapho ayekade esebenza khona wathi, “Ibizo lendoda engisebenze kuyo lamhla nguBhowazi.”
20 Naomi'a nenoferonku anage hu'ne, Ra Anumzamo'a agrira asomu huntegahie. Na'ankure Ramo fri'naza nagakura age okanino, mani'nona nagara so'e hunerante. Anante Naomi'a, Rutina asmi'ne, Ama'na nera tagri tvate kora mani'neankino, agra tagri kegava hurantegahie.
UNawomi wathi kumalukazana wakhe, “UThixo kambusise! Kayekelanga ukutshengisa umusa wakhe kwabaphilayo lakwasebafayo.” Wengeza njalo wathi, “Indoda leyo iyisihlobo sethu esiseduze; ingomunye wezihlobo zethu ezingabahlengi.”
21 Ruti, Moapu a'mo ke nona'a anage hu'ne, Mago'ane nagriku anage hu'ne, Kagra eri'za vaheni'a mokizmi zamate manitere nehnanke'za nagri hozafinti ne'zana tragahu vagaregahaze huno nasmi'ne.
URuthe umʼMowabi wasesithi, “Uze wathi kimi, ‘Ubohlala ulandela izisebenzi zami zize ziqede ukuvuna amabele ami.’”
22 Naomi'a, anante nenofero Rutina anage huno asmi'ne, Mofa'nimoka agri eri'za mofa'nene tragotenka eri'zante vnanana knare hugantegahie. Na'ankure ru vahe hozafi'ma eri'za omerisanana, hazenkezamo kvufare egahie.
UNawomi wathi kuRuthe umalukazana wakhe, “Kuzakuba kuhle, ndodakazi yami, ukuthi uhambe lamantombazana akhe, ngoba ungahlutshwa ensimini yomunye.”
23 Ana higeno Ruti'a, Boasi eri'za mofane zagane tragoteno bali raga zogino eritru nehigeno, bali hozama tragahu eri'zamo'a vagaregeno, witi hozama tragahu eri'zamo'enena anante vagare'ne. Ana eri'zama vagaregeno'a Ruti'a nenofero'ene mani'ne.
Ngakho uRuthe waba seduze lamantombazana azincekukazi zikaBhowazi ekudobheni kwaze kwaphela ukuvuna ibhali lengqoloyi. Njalo wahlala loninazala.
