URuthe 2
1 UNawomi wayelesihlobo sakwabozala, indoda eyayinothile osendweni luka-Elimeleki, ibizo layo linguBhowazi.
HE hoahanau ko Naomi, no kana kane, he kanaka waiwai nui, no ka hanauna o Elimeleka, o Boaza kona inoa.
2 URuthe umʼMowabi wathi kuNawomi, “Yekela ngiye emasimini ngiyedobha inhlamvu zamabele asala emuva kulowo ozakuba lomusa kimi.” UNawomi wathi, “Kulungile, hamba ndodakazi yami.”
I ae la o Ruta ka Moaba ia Naomi, E hele au i ka mahinaai ea, a hoiliili mawaena o na opuu palaoa, mamuli o ka mea e aloha mai ia'u. I mai la ia, O hele, e kuu kaikamahine.
3 Wasehamba, wafika wadobha amabele asala ngemuva kwabavunayo. Kwenzakala ukuthi wafika wasebenza ensimini kaBhowazi, owayengowosendo luka-Elimeleki.
Hele aku la ia a hiki, a hoiliili iho la ma ka mahinaai, mamuli o ka poe okioki. A loaa kana puu ma kahi kihapai no Boaza, no ka hanauna ia o Elimeleka.
4 Kwasekufika uBhowazi evela eBhethilehema, wabingelela abavuni wathi, “UThixo kabe lani!” Baphendula bathi, “UThixo akubusise!”
Aia hoi, hele mai la o Boaza, mai Betelehema mai, i mai la i ka poe okioki, O Iehova pu kekahi me oukou. I aku la lakou ia ia, Na Iehova no e hoopomaikai mai ia oe.
5 UBhowazi wabuza inceku yakhe eyayikhangele abavunayo wathi, “Intombi le ngekabani?”
Alaila, i mai la o Boaza i kana kauwa i hoonohoia maluna o ka poe okioki, Nawai keia kaikamahine?
6 Yena wathi, “NgeyaseMowabi eyabuya loNawomi.
Olelo aku la ke kauwa i hoonohoia maluna o ka poe okioki, i aku la, Ke kaikamahine ia no Moaba, o ka mea i hoi pu mai me Naomi, mai ka aina o Moaba mai.
7 Uthe, ‘Ngicela ukudobha okusalayo phakathi kwezithungo ngemva kwabavunayo.’ Ulokhu efike emasimini ekuseni lokhu esebenza kuze kube khathesi, ngaphandle kokuphumula kancinyane nje emthunzini.”
Nonoi mai ia, Ea, e hoiliili paha au, a hoahu mahope o ka poe okioki, iwaena o na pua. Alaila, hele mai la oia, a ua hoomau, mai ke kakahiaka a i keia wa, hoomaha iki no nae ma ka hale.
8 UBhowazi wasesithi kuRuthe, “Lalela lapha-ke ndodakazi yami. Ungaze wayadobha kwenye insimu, ungasuki lapha. Hlala lapha lamantombazana azincekukazi zami.
Alaila, i ae la o Boaza ia Ruta, E kuu kaikamahine, aole anei oe i lohe? Mai hele oe e hoiliili i ka mahinaai e ae, mai haalele oe i keia wahi. E hoopili oe me ko'u poe kaikamahine maanei.
9 Nanzelela leyonsimu lapho amadoda avuna khona, wena ulandele amantombazana. Ngiwalayile amadoda ukuba angakuhluphi. Ungezwa usuwomile, uhambe uyenatha ezimbizeni ezikhelelwe zagcwaliswa ngamadoda.”
E kau kou mau maka ma ke kihapai a lakou e okioki ai, a e hahai oe mamuli o lakou. Aole anei a'u i kauoha aku i na kanaka ui, i hoopa ole mai lakou ia oe? A makewai oe ea, e hele oe a inu i ka mea a na kanaka ui i ukuhi ai.
10 Ekuzwa lokhu uRuthe wathi mbo phansi ngobuso, wambuza wathi, “Kungani ngifumane umusa ongaka kuwe uze ungizwele mina ngingowezizweni?”
Alaila, haule e iho la kona maka ilalo, a kulou oia ilalo i ka honua, i mai la ia ia, No ke aha la i loaa mai ai ia'u ka lokomaikaiia mai imua o kou mau maka, i ike mai ai oe ia'u, no ka mea, he malihini au?
11 UBhowazi wathi, “Sengitsheliwe ngakho konke owakwenzela unyokozala kusukela ekufeni komkakho lokuthi watshiya uyihlo lonyoko lelizwe lakini weza ukuzahlala labantu owawungabazi ngaphambilini.
Olelo aku la o Boaza, i aku la, Ua hoakaka pono ia mai ia'u na mea a pau au i hana aku ai i kou makuahonowaiwahine, mahope mai o ka make ana o kau kane; a ua haalele oe i kou makuakane, a me kou makuwahine, a me kahi au i hanau ai, a ua hele mai hoi i ka poe kanaka au i ike ole ai mamua.
12 Sengathi uThixo angakupha umvuzo ngalokhu okwenzileyo. Sengathi uThixo, uNkulunkulu ka-Israyeli, oze ukuphephela ngaphansi kwamaphiko akhe angakupha umvuzo omkhulu.”
Na Iehova no e uku mai i kau hana, a e haawiia mai no hoi ia oe ka uku nui loa e Iehova, ke Akua o ka Iseraela. Ua hele mai hoi oe e hilinai ma ka malu o kona mau eheu.
13 URuthe wathi, “Sengathi ngingaqhubeka ngithola umusa kuwe, nkosi yami. Usungiphe ukududuzeka njalo ukhulume ngomusa encekukazini yakho loba ngingafanele ukuba ngomunye wamantombazana azincekukazi zakho.”
I mai la ia, E loaa paha ia'u ka lokomaikaiia mai i na maka o ko'u haku; no ka mea, ua hoomaha mai oe ia'u, a ua olelo mai hoi i ka naau o kau kauwawahine nei, aole nae au i like me kau poe kauwawahine.
14 Ngesikhathi sokudla, uBhowazi wathi kuye, “Woza lapha. Nansi isinkwa, dlana utshebe ngewayini elileviniga.” Wahlala phansi labavunayo, uBhowazi wasemupha amabele akhanzingiweyo. Wadla wasutha waze watshiya.
I aku la o Boaza ia ia, I ka manawa e ai ai, e hele mai oe e ai i ka berena, e hou iho i kou hakina maloko o ka vinega, Noho iho la ia ma ka aoao o ka poe okioki; haawi ae la oia ia ia i ai i pulehuia, a ai iho la ia a maona, a koe no.
15 Esesukuma ukuthi ayebutha, uBhowazi walaya amadoda wathi, “Loba angaze adobhe phakathi kwezithungo, lingaze lamhlupha.
A ku mai la ia e hoiliili, alaila kauoha mai o Boaza i kona poe kanaka ui, i mai la, E hoiliili oia mawaena o na pua, mai hoohilahila ia ia.
16 Kodwa, hwatshani amanye amahlanga ezithungweni limtshiyele ukuze adobhe kuwo, lingaze lamkhuza.”
E unuhi hoi i kekahi, maloko mai o na pua, a e waiho aku nana, i hoiliili ai oia: mai papa aku ia ia.
17 Ngakho uRuthe wadobha ensimini kwaze kwahwalala. Wasebhula ibhali ayeyidobhile, yagcwala phamu amagokoko amabili.
Hoiliili iho la oia ma ka mahinaai, a ahiahi, a kaka aku la i ka mea ana i hoiliili ai, hookahi paha epa huabale.
18 Wayithwala waya layo ngekhaya, uninazala wabona lokho ayekuvunile. URuthe wakhupha ayekutshiyile esedle wasutha, weza lakho wamupha.
A lawe iho la ia, a hele aku la i ke kulanakauhale, a ike mai la kona makuahonowaiwahine i ka mea ana i hoiliili ai; a lawe mai la ia a haawi mai ia ia i ke koena ana i malama'i mahope o kona maona ana.
19 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.”
Ninau mai la kona makuahonowaiwahine ia ia, Mahea la oe i hoiliili ai i keia la, a mahea oe i hana'i? e hoopomaikaiia ka mea i ike mai ia oe. Hoike aku la oia i kona makuahonowaiwahine i ka mea ana i hana pu ai, i aku la, O Boaza ka inoa o ka mea a'u i hana pu ai i keia la.
20 UNawomi wathi kumalukazana wakhe, “UThixo kambusise! Kayekelanga ukutshengisa umusa wakhe kwabaphilayo lakwasebafayo.” Wengeza njalo wathi, “Indoda leyo iyisihlobo sethu esiseduze; ingomunye wezihlobo zethu ezingabahlengi.”
I mai la o Naomi i kana hunonawahine, E pomaikai ana ia Iehova ka mea nana i hooki ole i kana hana lokomaikai ana i ka mea i ola, a me ka mea i make. I mai la o Naomi ia ia, He hoahanau ia e pili koke ana ia kaua, oia hoi ko kaua mea i pili koko.
21 URuthe umʼMowabi wasesithi, “Uze wathi kimi, ‘Ubohlala ulandela izisebenzi zami zize ziqede ukuvuna amabele ami.’”
I aku la o Ruta ka Moaba, Ua olelo mai no hoi oia ia'u, E hoopili oe mo ko'u poe kanaka, a hoopau wale lakou i ko'u hoiliili ana.
22 UNawomi wathi kuRuthe umalukazana wakhe, “Kuzakuba kuhle, ndodakazi yami, ukuthi uhambe lamantombazana akhe, ngoba ungahlutshwa ensimini yomunye.”
I mai o Naomi ia Ruta, i kana hunonawahine, E kuu kaikamahine, he mea maikai ke hele pu oe me kona mau kaikamahine, i loaa ole oe ia lakou ma ka mahinaai e ae.
23 Ngakho uRuthe waba seduze lamantombazana azincekukazi zikaBhowazi ekudobheni kwaze kwaphela ukuvuna ibhali lengqoloyi. Njalo wahlala loninazala.
Nolaila, pili paa loa oia me na kaikamahine o Boaza, a pau wale ka hoiliili ana i ka huabale a me ka hoiliili ana i ka huapalaoa; a noho pu no me kona makuahonowaiwahine.
