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)
3 Wasehamba, wafika wadobha amabele asala ngemuva kwabavunayo. Kwenzakala ukuthi wafika wasebenza ensimini kaBhowazi, owayengowosendo luka-Elimeleki.

4 Kwasekufika uBhowazi evela eBhethilehema, wabingelela abavuni wathi, “UThixo kabe lani!” Baphendula bathi, “UThixo akubusise!”
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.
5 UBhowazi wabuza inceku yakhe eyayikhangele abavunayo wathi, “Intombi le ngekabani?”
Boasi'a, hoza traga nehaza vahe'mokizmi kva ne' antahigeno, Amu zahufa ara aza naga nofipinti a' emani'ne?
6 Yena wathi, “NgeyaseMowabi eyabuya loNawomi.

7 Uthe, ‘Ngicela ukudobha okusalayo phakathi kwezithungo ngemva kwabavunayo.’ Ulokhu efike emasimini ekuseni lokhu esebenza kuze kube khathesi, ngaphandle kokuphumula kancinyane nje emthunzini.”
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.
8 UBhowazi wasesithi kuRuthe, “Lalela lapha-ke ndodakazi yami. Ungaze wayadobha kwenye insimu, ungasuki lapha. Hlala lapha lamantombazana azincekukazi zami.
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.
9 Nanzelela leyonsimu lapho amadoda avuna khona, wena ulandele amantombazana. Ngiwalayile amadoda ukuba angakuhluphi. Ungezwa usuwomile, uhambe uyenatha ezimbizeni ezikhelelwe zagcwaliswa ngamadoda.”

10 Ekuzwa lokhu uRuthe wathi mbo phansi ngobuso, wambuza wathi, “Kungani ngifumane umusa ongaka kuwe uze ungizwele mina ngingowezizweni?”
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?
11 UBhowazi wathi, “Sengitsheliwe ngakho konke owakwenzela unyokozala kusukela ekufeni komkakho lokuthi watshiya uyihlo lonyoko lelizwe lakini weza ukuzahlala labantu owawungabazi ngaphambilini.
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.
12 Sengathi uThixo angakupha umvuzo ngalokhu okwenzileyo. Sengathi uThixo, uNkulunkulu ka-Israyeli, oze ukuphephela ngaphansi kwamaphiko akhe angakupha umvuzo omkhulu.”
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.
13 URuthe wathi, “Sengathi ngingaqhubeka ngithola umusa kuwe, nkosi yami. Usungiphe ukududuzeka njalo ukhulume ngomusa encekukazini yakho loba ngingafanele ukuba ngomunye wamantombazana azincekukazi zakho.”
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.
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.
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.
15 Esesukuma ukuthi ayebutha, uBhowazi walaya amadoda wathi, “Loba angaze adobhe phakathi kwezithungo, lingaze lamhlupha.
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.

Anahu kna hutma agri tfana, ko'na anakintepintira raga'a rmina avazuhu atre'nenkeno agra zogirino, hagi i'o hutma huonteho.
17 Ngakho uRuthe wadobha ensimini kwaze kwahwalala. Wasebhula ibhali ayeyidobhile, yagcwala phamu amagokoko amabili.

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.”
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.
21 URuthe umʼMowabi wasesithi, “Uze wathi kimi, ‘Ubohlala ulandela izisebenzi zami zize ziqede ukuvuna amabele ami.’”
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.
22 UNawomi wathi kuRuthe umalukazana wakhe, “Kuzakuba kuhle, ndodakazi yami, ukuthi uhambe lamantombazana akhe, ngoba ungahlutshwa ensimini yomunye.”
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.
