URuthe 1
1 Kwasekusithi ensukwini abahluleli abahlulela ngazo kwaba khona indlala elizweni. Umuntu weBhethelehema-Juda wasehamba ukuyahlala njengowezizwe elizweni lakoMowabi, yena lomkakhe lamadodana akhe amabili.
Bara abbootiin murtii bulchaa turanitti beelli biyyatti buʼe; namichi Beetlihem Yihuudaa keessa jiraatu tokko niitii isaatii fi ilmaan isaa lamaan fudhatee biyya Moʼaab jiraachuu dhaqe.
2 Njalo ibizo lalowomuntu lalinguElimeleki, lebizo lomkakhe lalinguNawomi, lebizo lamadodana akhe amabili lalinguMaheloni loKiliyoni, amaEfratha eBhethelehema-Juda. Basebesiza elizweni lakoMowabi, baba khona.
Maqaan namichaa Eliimelek, maqaan niitii isaa Naaʼomiin, maqaan ilmaan isaa lamaanii immoo Mahiloonii fi Kiliiyoon jedhama ture. Isaanis namoota Efraataa kan biyya Yihuudaa Beetlihem keessa jiraatan turan. Jarris biyya Moʼaab dhaqanii achi jiraatan.
3 UElimeleki umkaNawomi wasesifa, wasetshiywa yena lamadodana akhe womabili.
Eliimelek dhirsi Naaʼomiin ni duʼe; isheenis ilmaan ishee lamaan wajjin hafte.
4 Asezithathela abafazi amaMowabikazi, ibizo lomunye lalinguOpha, lebizo lomunye lalinguRuthe. Basebehlala khona phose iminyaka elitshumi.
Isaanis dubartoota Moʼaab fuudhan; isheen tokko Orphaa kaan immoo Ruut jedhamti. Erga isaan waggaa kudhan achi jiraatanii booddee,
5 Basebesifa labo bobabili oMaheloni loKiliyoni; owesifazana wasetshiywa ngabantwana bakhe bobabili layindoda yakhe.
Mahiloonii fi Kiliiyoon ni duʼan. Naaʼomiinis ilmaan ishee lamaanii fi dhirsa ishee dhabdee kophaa hafte.
6 Wasesukuma yena labomalokazana bakhe wabuyela esuka eselizweni lakoMowabi, ngoba wayesezwile elizweni lakoMowabi ukuthi iNkosi ihambele abantu bayo ngokubanika ukudla.
Isheenis utuu Moʼaab jirtuu akka Waaqayyo saba isaa yaadatee nyaata kenneef dhageesse; Naaʼomiinii fi Niitonni ilmaan ishees gara biyya isheetti deebiʼuuf qophaaʼan.
7 Ngakho waphuma endaweni lapho ayekhona labomalokazana bakhe bobabili kanye laye, bahamba endleleni ukubuyela elizweni lakoJuda.
Isheenis iddoo jiraachaa turtee kaatee niitota ilmaan ishee wajjin gara biyya Yihuudaatti deebiʼuuf karaa qabatte.
8 UNawomi wasesithi kubomalokazana bakhe bobabili: Hambani libuyele ngulowo lalowo endlini kanina; iNkosi kayilenzele umusa njengoba lenza kwabafileyo lakimi.
Ergasiis Naaʼomiin niitota ilmaan ishee lamaaniin akkana jette; “Tokkoon tokkoon keessan gara mana haadhota keessaniitti deebiʼaa. Akkuma dhirsoota keessan kanneen duʼanii fi anaafis arjoomtan sana Waaqayyo isiniif haa arjoomu.
9 INkosi kayilinike ukuthi lithole ukuphumula, ngulowo lalowo endlini yomkakhe. Wasebanga, basebephakamisa ilizwi labo bakhala inyembezi.
Waaqayyo tokkoo tokkoo keessaniifis mana dhirsa itti heerumtaniitti boqonnaa isinii haa kennu.” Isheenis ergasii isaan dhungate; isaanis sagalee ol fudhatanii booʼanii
10 Basebesithi kuye: Isibili, sizabuyela lawe ebantwini bakini.
“Waawuu, nu si wajjin gara saba keetiitti deebina” jedhaniin.
11 Kodwa uNawomi wathi: Buyelani, madodakazi ami, lizahambelani lami? Kambe ngiselamadodana esiswini sami ukuthi abe ngomkenu?
Naaʼomiin garuu akkana jette; “Yaa intallan ko, gara mana keessaniitti deebiʼaa. Maaliif na wajjin deemtu? Ani siʼachi ilmaan dhirsa isiniif taʼuu dandaʼan daʼaa?
12 Buyelani, madodakazi ami, zihambeleni, ngoba sengimdala kakhulu ukuthi ngibe lendoda. Loba ngingathi ngilethemba lokuthi lami ngalobubusuku ngibe lendoda, njalo ngizale amadodana,
Yaa intallan koo gara mana keessaniitti deebiʼaa; ani dhirsa biraatti heerumuudhaaf dulloomeera. Yoo ani abdii qaba jedhee halkanuma kana heerumee ilmaan daʼe illee,
13 belingawalindela yini aze akhule? Belingazivimbela lingabi lendoda yini? Hatshi, madodakazi ami, ngoba kuyababa kakhulu kimi kulakini ukuthi isandla seNkosi siphume ukumelana lami.
isin hamma isaan guddatanitti ni eeggattuu? Isaan eeggachuuf jettanii utuu hin heerumin haftuu ree? Lakkii yaa intallan koo. Kun isin caalaa natti ulfaata; harki Waaqayyoo natti garagaleeraatii!”
14 Basebephakamisa ilizwi labo bakhala inyembezi futhi. UOpha wasemanga uninazala, kodwa uRuthe wanamathela kuye.
Isaan amma illee sagalee isaanii ol fudhatanii booʼan. Kana irratti Orphaan haadha dhirsa ishee dhungattee nagaatti jetteen; Ruut garuu isheetti marmite.
15 Wasesithi: Khangela, umkamfowenu usebuyele ebantwini bakibo lakubonkulunkulu bakhe; buyela umlandele umkamfowenu.
Naaʼomiinis, “Kunoo, waarsaan kee gara saba isheetii fi waaqota isheetti deebiʼaa jirti. Atis ishee wajjin deebiʼi” jetteen.
16 Kodwa uRuthe wathi: Ungangincengi ukuthi ngikutshiye, ngibuyele ngiyekele ukukulandela; ngoba lapho oya khona, ngizakuya khona, lalapho olala khona, ngizalala khona. Abantu bakho bangabantu bami, loNkulunkulu wakho unguNkulunkulu wami;
Ruut garuu akkana jettee deebifte; “Akka ani si dhiisu yookaan si biraa deebiʼu na hin dirqisiisin. Iddoo ati deemtu nan deema; iddoo ati jiraattus nan jiraadha. Sabni kee saba koo ni taʼa; Waaqni kees Waaqa koo ni taʼa.
17 lapho ozafela khona, ngizafela khona, ngingcwatshelwe lapho. INkosi kayenze njalo kimi ngokunjalo yengezelele, ngoba yikufa kuphela okuzakwehlukanisa phakathi kwami lawe.
Iddoo ati itti duututti anis nan duʼa; achittis nan awwaalama. Siʼachi yoo duuti gargari nu baase malee yoo ani si dhiisee deeme Waaqayyo na haa adabu; adabbiin sunis akka malee haa cimu.”
18 Kwathi esebonile ukuthi uzimisele ukuhamba laye waseyekela ukukhuluma kuye.
Naaʼomiinis yeroo akka Ruut ishee wajjin deemuuf murteessite hubattetti ishee dirqisiisuu dhiifte.
19 Basebehamba bobabili baze bafika eBhethelehema. Kwasekusithi sebefikile eBhethelehema umuzi wonke wayaluzela ngenxa yabo, bathi: Lo nguNawomi yini?
Kanaafuu dubartoonni lachuu hamma Beetlihemitti deeman. Yommuu isaan Beetlihem gaʼanittis sababii isaaniitiif guutummaan magaalattii raafamte; dubartoonnis, “Isheen kun Naaʼomiinii?” jedhan.
20 Wasesithi kibo: Lingangibizi ngokuthi Nawomi, lingibize ngokuthi Mara; ngoba uSomandla ungiphethe ngokubaba okukhulu.
Isheenis akkana isaaniin jette; “Naaʼomiin jettanii na hin waaminaa! Sababii Waaqni Waan Hunda Dandaʼu jireenya koo hadheesseef Maaraa jedhaatii na waamaa.
21 Mina ngasuka ngigcwele, njalo iNkosi ingibuyise ngingelalutho. Lingibizelani ngokuthi Nawomi lokhu iNkosi ifakaze imelane lami, loSomandla ungihluphile?
Ani harka guutuudhaan baʼe; Waaqayyo garuu harka duwwaa na deebise. Isin maaliif Naaʼomiin naan jettu? Waaqayyo na dhiphiseera; Waaqni Waan Hunda Dandaʼu rakkina natti fideeraatii.”
22 Wabuyela ngokunjalo uNawomi loRuthe umMowabikazi umalokazana wakhe kanye laye, owabuyela evela elizweni lakoMowabi. Bona-ke bafika eBhethelehema ekuqaliseni kwesivuno sebhali.
Kanaafuu Naaʼomiin, niitii ilma ishee Ruut Moʼaabittii wajjin yeroo garbuun haamamuu jalqabutti Moʼaabii gara Beetlihemitti deebite.
