6 Wathi esizwa eseMowabi ukuthi uThixo wayesesize abantu bakhe ngokubapha ukudla, uNawomi kanye labomalukazana bakhe balungisela ukubuyela kibo.
and to arise: rise he/she/it and daughter-in-law her and to return: return from land: country Moab for to hear: hear in/on/with land: country Moab for to reckon: visit LORD [obj] people his to/for to give: give to/for them food

8 UNawomi wasesithi kubomalukazana bakhe bobabili, “Buyelani emuva, ngulowo lalowo aye emzini kanina. Engani uThixo angalenzela umusa onjengalowo elingitshengise wona kanye labomkenu asebedlule.

10 bathi kuye, “Sizahamba lawe ebantwini bakini.”

11 Kodwa uNawomi wathi, “Buyelani ngekhaya madodakazi ami. Kambe lingabe lihambelani lami? Ngingazala amanye amadodana na angaba ngomkenu?
and to say Naomi to return: return daughter my to/for what? to go: went with me still to/for me son: child in/on/with belly my and to be to/for you to/for human
12 Buyelani ngekhaya madodakazi ami. Sengigugile, angingeke ngibe ngisazuza enye indoda. Loba bekungabe kulethemba lokuthi ngende loba bengingaba lendoda ngabona lobubusuku ngizale amadodana,

therefore to await till which to magnify therefore to refrain to/for lest to be to/for man: husband not daughter my for to provoke to/for me much from you for to come out: come in/on/with me hand LORD
14 Bekuzwa lokho bakhala njalo. U-Opha wasesanga uninazala wamvalelisa, kodwa uRuthe wabambelela kuye.
and to lift: loud voice their and to weep still and to kiss Orpah to/for mother-in-law her and Ruth to cleave in/on/with her
15 UNawomi wathi, “Khangela, unyanewenu usebuyela kwabakibo kanye labonkulunkulu bakhe. Buyela laye.”
and to say behold to return: return sister-in-law your to(wards) people her and to(wards) God her to return: return after sister-in-law your
16 URuthe waphendula wathi, “Ungangincengi ukuba ngikutshiye loba ukuba ngikufulathele. Lapho oya khona ngizakuya khona, lalapho ozahlala khona ngizahlala khona. Abantu bakini bazakuba ngabakithi loNkulunkulu wakho uzakuba nguNkulunkulu wami.
and to say Ruth not to fall on in/on/with me to/for to leave: forsake you to/for to return: turn back from after you for to(wards) which to go: went to go: went and in/on/with in which to lodge to lodge people your people my and God your God my
17 Lapho ozafela khona lami ngizafela khona njalo ngizangcwatshelwa khona. Sengathi uThixo angangihlanekela nxa ngingehlukana lawe ngenxa yolunye ulutho olungesikufa.”
in/on/with in which to die to die and there to bury thus to make: do LORD to/for me and thus to add for [the] death to separate between me and between you
18 Kwathi uNawomi esebonile ukuthi uRuthe uzimisele ukuhamba laye, waseyekela ukumcindezela.
and to see: see for to strengthen he/she/it to/for to go: went with her and to cease to/for to speak: speak to(wards) her
19 Basebehamba bobabili baze bayafika eBhethilehema. Bathi befika eBhethilehema, umuzi wonke waba lokuxokozela ngabo, kwathi abesifazane bababaza besithi, “Angabe enguNawomi lo na?”
and to go: went two their till to come (in): come they Bethlehem Bethlehem and to be like/as to come (in): come they Bethlehem Bethlehem and to make noise all [the] city upon them and to say this Naomi
20 Yena wathi kubo, “Lingangibizi ngokuthi nginguNawomi. Wothani nginguMara, ngoba uSomandla wenze impilo yami yaba munyu.
and to say to(wards) them not to call: call by to/for me Naomi to call: call by to/for me Mara for to provoke Almighty to/for me much
21 Ngasuka lapha ngigcwele, kodwa uThixo usengibuyise ngingelalutho. Lingangibizelani ngokuthi nginguNawomi? UThixo ungehlisele uhlupho; uSomandla ungehlisele okubi.”
I full to go: went and emptily to return: return me LORD to/for what? to call: call by to/for me Naomi and LORD to answer in/on/with me and Almighty be evil to/for me
22 Ngakho uNawomi wabuyela ngokunjalo eBhethilehema evela eMowabi. Wafika ephelekezelwa nguRuthe umalukazana wakhe waseMowabi. Bafika ngesikhathi sokuqalisa ukuvuna ibhali.
and to return: return Naomi and Ruth [the] Moabite daughter-in-law her with her [the] to return: return from land: country Moab and they(masc.) to come (in): come Bethlehem Bethlehem in/on/with beginning harvest barley
