Luusi 1
1 Awo olwatuuka mu nnaku ezo abalamuzi ze baafugiramu, enjala n’egwa mu nsi. Awo omusajja ow’e Besirekemu mu Yuda ne mukazi we, ne batabani be bombi, ne basengukira mu nsi ya Mowaabu.
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 Erinnya ly’omusajja yali Erimereki, erya mukazi we Nawomi, n’amannya ga batabani be bombi, Maloni ne Kiriyoni. Baali Bayefulaasi ab’e Besirekemu mu Yuda, bwe baatuuka mu nsi ya Mowaabu, ne babeera omwo.
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 Naye Erimereki bba wa Nawomi n’afa; nnamwandu Nawomi n’asigalawo ne batabani be bombi.
Pea naʻe pekia ʻa ʻElimeleki ko e husepāniti ʻo Naomi; pea naʻe nofo pe ia mo ʻene ongo tama.
4 Batabani be baawasa ku bakazi Abamowaabu, omu Olupa, n’omulala Luusi, ne babeera eyo okumala emyaka nga kkumi.
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 Oluvannyuma Maloni ne Kiriyoni ne bafa, Nawomi n’asigala nga talina baana wadde bba.
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 Bwe yawulira ng’ali mu nsi ya Mowaabu nti Mukama Katonda yajjira abantu be n’abawa emmere, n’agolokoka ne baka baana be okuddayo mu Isirayiri.
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 Ye ne baka baana be, ne bava mu kifo mwe baali, ne bakwata ekkubo okuddayo mu nsi ya Yuda.
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 Awo Nawomi n’agamba baka baana be nti, “Mugende muddeeyo buli muntu mu nnyumba ya nnyina, era Mukama Katonda abakolere ebyekisa, nga nammwe bwe mwakolera abaafa era ne bye mwakolera nze.
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 Mukama Katonda abawe omukisa era buli omu ku mmwe, amuwe omusajja omulala.” N’alyoka abanywegera, nabo ne bayimusa amaloboozi gaabwe, ne bakaaba amaziga,
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 nga bagamba nti, “Nedda, tuligenda naawe ng’oddayo eri abantu bo.”
Pea naʻa na pehē kiate ia, “Ko e moʻoni te ma ō mo koe ki ho kakai.
11 Naye Nawomi n’abagamba nti, “Muddeeyo ewammwe bawala bange. Kiki ekibaagaza okugenda nange? Sikyasobola kuzaala baana balala bafuuke babba mmwe.
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 Mweddireyo ewammwe, bawala bange, kubanga nze nkaddiye nnyo sikyafumbirwa. Ne bwe nnandifumbiddwa ne nzaala abaana aboobulenzi;
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 mwandibalindiridde okutuusa lwe bandikuze nga temunnafumbirwa? Nedda, bawala bange. Nnumwa nnyo okusinga mmwe, kubanga omukono gwa Mukama Katonda tegubadde nange.”
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 Bwe baawulira ekyo, ne baddamu okukaaba. Awo Olupa n’anywegera nnyazaala we, n’amusiibula. Naye Luusi namunywererako ddala.
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 Awo Nawomi bwe yalaba ekyo, namugamba nti, “Laba, munno azzeeyo eri abantu be ne balubaale be, naawe kwata ekkubo omugoberere.”
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 Naye Luusi n’amwegayirira ng’agamba nti, “Tompaliriza kukuvaako, wadde obutakugoberera, kubanga gy’onoogendanga, nange gye nnaagendanga, gy’onooberanga, nange gye nnaaberanga, era abantu bo be banaabanga abantu bange, era ne Katonda wo y’anaaberanga Katonda wange.
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 Gy’olifiira nange gye ndifiira era eyo gye balinziika. Mukama Katonda ankangavvule nnyo bwe ndyawukana naawe wabula mpozi okufa.”
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 Awo Nawomi bwe yalaba nga Luusi amaliridde okugenda naye, n’atayongerako kigambo kirala.
Pea ʻi heʻene vakai ʻoku loto mālohi pe ia ke na ō mo ia, naʻe tuku ʻene kei lea ki ai.
19 Oluvannyuma bombi ne batambula okutuuka e Besirekemu. Bwe batuuka e Besirekemu, ekibuga kyonna ne kisasamala ku lwabwe, era abakazi ne beebuuza nti, “Ddala ono ye Nawomi?”
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 Bwe yawulira ekyo, n’abaddamu nti, “Temumpita Nawomi, naye mumpite Mala, kubanga Ayinzabyonna yalumya obulamu bwange n’okukaawa bunkayiridde.
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 Nagenda nnina ebintu bingi, naye Mukama Katonda ankomezzaawo nga sirina kantu, kale lwaki mumpita Nawomi? Mukama ambonerezza. Ayinzabyonna yandeetera okubonaabona.”
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 Bw’atyo Nawomi n’akomawo e Besirekemu, okuva mu Mowaabu ne muka mwana we Luusi Omumowaabu, mu kiseera eky’okukungula sayiri nga kyakatandika.
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.
