Tsiku lina Rute, Mmowabu uja anati kwa Naomi, “Mundilole kuti ndikakunkhe barele ku munda wa munthu aliyense amene akandikomere mtima.” Naomi anati kwa iye, “Pita mwana wanga.”
3 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.
Choncho Rute ananyamuka kupita kukakunkha ku minda yokololedwa kale. Tsono zinangochitika kuti Rute anafika mʼmunda wa Bowazi, yemwe anali wochokera ku banja la Elimeleki.
4 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.”
Posakhalitsa Bowazi anafika kuchokera ku Betelehemu ndipo analonjera okolola aja kuti, “Yehova akhale nanu!” Iwo anayankha kuti, “Yehova akudalitseni.”
5 Awo Bowaazi n’abuuza nampala wa bakunguzi be nti, “Omuwala ono w’ani?”
Bowazi anafunsa kapitawo wake amene ankayangʼanira okolola aja kuti, “Mayi uyo ndi ndani?”
6 N’amuddamu nti, “Ono ye muwala Omumowaabu eyajja ne Nawomi okuva e Mowaabu.
Kapitawo uja anayankha kuti, “Mayiyu ndi Mmowabu amene anabwera ndi Naomi kuchokera ku dziko la Mowabu.
7 Atwegayiridde alondelonde abakunguzi we bayise mu binywa, era asiibye akola okuva obw’enkya okutuusa essaawa eno, okuggyako akabanga akatono ke yawumuddemu.”
Iye anandipempha kuti, ‘Chonde mundilole kuti ndikunkhe barele mʼminda moti akololamo kale.’ Iye wakhala akukunkha kuyambira mmawa mpaka tsopano lino osapuma nʼpangʼono pomwe.”
8 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.
Choncho Bowazi anati kwa Rute, “Tamvera mwana wanga, usapite kukakunkha mʼmunda wina, ndipo usachoke mʼmunda uno. Koma uzitsata adzakazi angawa.
9 Gendereranga ennimiro basajja bange mwe bamaze okukungula, era ogobererenga abawala. Abasajja mbalagidde obutakutawanya. Era ennyonta bw’ekulumanga, onywenga ku mazzi abasajja ge basenye.”
Uziyangʼana munda akukolola anyamatawo akamakolola mʼmundamu, ndipo iwe uzitsata pambuyo pawo. Ndawawuza anyamatawo kuti asakuvutitse. Ndipo ukamva ludzu, uzipita ku mitsuko ndi kukamwa madzi amene anyamatawa atunga.”
10 Awo Luusi bwe yawulira ebyo, n’avuunama ku ttaka, ng’agamba nti, “Ng’ondaze ekisa mu maaso go, n’onfaako nze, munnaggwanga.”
Atamva zimenezi Rute anawerama nazolikitsa nkhope yake pansi. Kenaka anafunsa kuti, “Mwandikomera mtima chotere mlendo ngati ine chifukwa chiyani?”
11 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 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.”
Yehova akubwezere pa zimene wachitazi. Yehova Mulungu wa Israeli, amene wabwera pansi pa mapiko ake kuti akuteteze, akupatse mphotho yayikulu.”
13 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.”
Rute anati, “Mwandikomera mtima, mbuye wanga. Ndipo mwandisangalatsa ndi kundiyankhula mwa chifundo ngakhale sindili mmodzi mwa adzakazi anu.”
14 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.
Nthawi ya chakudya cha masana Bowazi anati kwa iye, “Bwera kuno, utenge buledi ndi kusunsa nthongo mu vinyo.” Choncho anakhala pansi pafupi ndi okololawo, ndipo Bowazi anamupatsa chakudya ndi nyama yowotcha. Anadya chilichonse amafuna ndipo chakudya china chinatsalako.
15 Oluvannyuma ng’okulya kuwedde, n’agolokoka agende alonde, era Bowaazi n’alagira abaddu be nti, “Ne bw’anaalonda mu binywa temumugaana.
Atanyamuka kuti azikakunkha, Bowazi analangiza anyamata ake kuti, “Ngakhale mayiyu azikunkha pakati pa mitolo musamuletse ndi kumuchititsa manyazi.
16 Wakiri, mumuleke yerondere mu miganda so temumuwuuna.”
Koma muzimusololerako ngala zina za mʼmitolo ndi kumusiyira kuti azikunkha ndipo musamukalipire.”
17 Awo Luusi n’alonda mu nnimiro okutuuka akawungeezi, oluvannyuma n’awuula ne sayiri gye yali akuŋŋaanyizza, n’aweza nga kilo kkumi na ssatu.
Choncho Rute anakunkha mʼmundamo mpaka madzulo. Kenaka anapuntha barele anakunkhayo, ndipo anakwanira pafupifupi makilogalamu khumi.
18 Yonna n’agyetikka, n’agitwala mu kibuga, ne nnyazaala we n’agiraba. Era yamuleetera ne ku mmere gye yali afissizzaawo.
Anasenza barele uja kupita naye ku mudzi, nakaonetsa apongozi ake. Kenaka anatulutsa chakudya chimene chinatsalira atakhuta chija ndi kupatsa apongozi ake.
19 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.
Apongozi akewo anamufunsa kuti, “Kodi lero unakakunkha kuti? Unakagwira kuti ntchitoyi? Adalitsike munthu amene anakukomera mtimayo.” Ndipo Rute anawuza mpongozi wake za munthu amene ku malo ake anakagwirako ntchito. Iye anati, “Munthuyo dzina lake ndi Bowazi.”
20 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.”
Naomi anati kwa mpongozi wakeyo, “Munthu ameneyu amudalitse Yehova, amene sanasiye kuchitira chifundo anthu amoyo ndi akufa omwe. Anatinso munthu ameneyu ndi mnansi wapaphata. Ndiye ali ndi udindo wotisamalira.”
21 Luusi Omumowaabu n’ayongerako nti, “N’okuŋŋamba yaŋŋambye nti nkolere wamu n’abakozi be okutuusa lwe balimala eby’okukungula bye.”
Choncho Rute Mmowabuyo anati, “Iye anandiwuzanso kuti, ‘Uzitsata antchito angawa mpaka atamaliza kukolola munda wonse.’”
22 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.”
Naomi anati kwa Rute mpongozi wake, “Kuli bwino mwana wanga kuti uzipita ndi adzakazi ake kuopa kuti mʼmunda wa munthu wina angakuvute.”
23 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.
