Higeno Ruti'a, bali raga hare kumate vuno nenofero'ma maka asmino, e'ina huo huno asmi'nea kante ana hu'ne.
7 Kwathi uBhowazi esedlile wanatha, lenhliziyo yakhe yathokoza, wayalala phansi ekucineni kwenqumbi yamabele. URuthe wasenyenya, wembula inyawo zakhe, walala phansi.

10 Yasisithi: Kawubusiswe yiNkosi, ndodakazi yami, usuwenze umusa wakho ube mkhulu ekucineni kulowokuqala, njengoba ungalandelanga amajaha loba angabayanga loba anothileyo.

11 Ngakho-ke, ndodakazi yami, ungesabi, ngizakwenzela konke okutshoyo, ngoba umuzi wonke wabantu bakithi uyazi ukuthi ungowesifazana oqotho.
Menina mofa'nimoka korera osuo, maka zanku'ma nantahigesanke'na, nagra amne hugantegahue. Na'ankure hakare ra kumapi vahe'nimo'za hago knare kavukva ene a' mani'nane hu'za kage'za antahiza hu'naze.
12 Yebo-ke, sibili, kuliqiniso ukuthi ngiyisihlobo esingumhlengi, kanti-ke kukhona isihlobo esingumhlengi esiseduze kulami.
Menina tamage, nagra kvate vaheka'a mani'noe. Hianagi, nagrira nagatereno magora tamazahu nera mani'ne.
13 Hlala lobubusuku; kuzakuthi-ke ekuseni uba ezakwenza imfanelo yesihlobo esingumhlengi, kulungile, kakuhlenge; kodwa uba engathandi ukukuhlenga, mina-ke ngizakuhlenga, kuphila kukaJehova. Lala kuze kuse.

14 Waselala enyaweni zayo kwaze kwasa; wavuka omunye engakananzeleli omunye. Yasisithi: Kakungaziwa ukuthi owesifazana ufikile ebaleni lokubhulela.
Higeno Ruti'a agafi mase'nereti, masa osu'negeno ko'atu hanimpi vahe'mo onke'are vu'ne. Boasi'a otino amanahu ke asami'ne, mago a'mo bali raga hare kumapi eno emasenereti vie, kea ontahitfa hiho.
15 Yasisithi: Letha isembatho osigqokileyo, usibambe; wasesibamba, yasilinganisa izilinganiso eziyisithupha zebhali, yamethesa; wasengena emzini.
