< Rute 2 >
1 Zvino Naomi aiva nehama yokumurume wake, aibva kuimba yaErimereki, murume akasimukira, zita rake richinzi Bhoazi.
AND Naomi had a kinsman of her husband’s, a mighty man of wealth, of the family of Elimelech; and his name was Boaz.
2 Zvino Rute muMoabhu akati kuna Naomi, “Regai ndiende kuminda ndinonongera zviyo zvinosara ndiri shure kwaani zvake achandiitira nyasha.” Naomi akati kwaari, “Enda hako mwanasikana wangu.”
And Ruth the Moabitess said unto Naomi, Let me now go to the field, and glean ears of corn after him in whose sight I shall find grace. And she said unto her, Go, my daughter.
3 Naizvozvo akaenda kuminda akatanga kunongera ari muminda achitevera shure kwavacheki. Zvakaitika ndezvokuti akabva angoenda kundoshanda mumunda waBhoazi, uyo aibva kuimba yaErimereki.
And she went, and came, and gleaned in the field after the reapers: and her hap was to light on a part of the field belonging unto Boaz, who was of the kindred of Elimelech.
4 Panguva iyoyo Bhoazi akasvika achibva kuBheterehema ndokukwazisa vacheki achiti, “Jehovha ave nemi!” Ivo vakapindura vachiti, “Jehovha akuropafadzei!”
And, behold, Boaz came from Beth-lehem, and said unto the reapers, The Lord be with you. And they answered him, The Lord bless thee.
5 Bhoazi akabvunza mutariri wavacheki akati, “Ko, mukadzi wechidiki uyo ndewani?”
Then said Boaz unto his servant that was set over the reapers, Whose damsel is this?
6 Mutariri akapindura akati, “Mukadzi wechiMoabhu akadzoka pamwe chete naNaomi vachibva kuMoabhu.
And the servant that was set over the reapers answered and said, It is the Moabitish damsel that came back with Naomi out of the country of Moab:
7 Ati, ‘Ndapota nditenderei kunongera ndichiunganidza pakati pezvisote ndiri mushure mavacheki.’ Abva aenda mumunda akashanda nesimba kubva mangwanani kusvikira zvino, kunze kwenguva pfupi yaazorora ari mudumba iro.”
And she said, I pray you, let me glean and gather after the reapers among the sheaves: so she came, and hath continued even from the morning until now, that she tarried a little in the house.
8 Saka Bhoazi akati kuna Rute, “Chinzwa, mwanasikana wangu. Usaenda kunonongera uri kuno mumwe munda uye usaenda kure uchibva pano. Gara pano navashandi vangu vechisikana ava.
Then said Boaz unto Ruth, Hearest thou not, my daughter? Go not to glean in another field, neither go from hence, but abide here fast by my maidens:
9 Utarire munda uyo waunoona varume vachicheka, ugotevera mushure mavasikana. Ndarayira majaya kuti arege kukubata. Uye paunonzwira nyota, uende kunonwa mvura mumidziyo iyo yazadzwa namajaya.”
Let thine eyes be on the field that they do reap, and go thou after them: have I not charged the young men that they shall not touch thee? and when thou art athirst, go unto the vessels, and drink of that which the young men have drawn.
10 Ipapo, akawira pasi nechiso chake akatsikitsira pasi. Akashamisika, akati, “Zvaita sei kuti ndiwane nyasha dzakadai pamberi penyu kuti mundione ini mutorwa?”
Then she fell on her face, and bowed herself to the ground, and said unto him, Why have I found grace in thine eyes, that thou shouldest take knowledge of me, seeing I am a stranger?
11 Bhoazi akapindura achiti, “Ndakaudzwa pamusoro pezvose zvawakaitira vamwene vako kubva pakufa kwomurume wako, uye kuti wakasiya sei baba vako namai vako uye nenyika yokwako ukauya kuzogara navanhu vawakanga usingazivi.
And Boaz answered and said unto her, It hath fully been shewed me, all that thou hast done unto thy mother in law since the death of thine husband: and how thou hast left thy father and thy mother, and the land of thy nativity, and art come unto a people which thou knewest not heretofore.
12 Jehovha ngaakuripire pane zvawakaita. Jehovha, Mwari waIsraeri, ngaakupe mubayiro uzere, iye wawakauya ukavanda pasi pamapapiro ake.”
The Lord recompense thy work, and a full reward be given thee of the Lord God of Israel, under whose wings thou art come to trust.
13 Rute akati, “Regai ndirambe ndichiwana nyasha pamberi penyu, ishe wangu. Mandinyaradza uye mataura netsitsi kumurandakadzi wenyu kunyange ndisina kufanana navamwe varandakadzi venyu.”
Then she said, Let me find favour in thy sight, my lord; for that thou hast comforted me, and for that thou hast spoken friendly unto thine handmaid, though I be not like unto one of thine handmaidens.
14 Panguva yokudya, Bhoazi akati kwaari, “Uya kuno. Tora chingwa udye uchiseva muvhiniga iyi.” Akati agara pasi navacheki, Bhoazi akamupa zviyo zvakakangwa. Akadya zvose zvaaida zvimwe zvikasara.
And Boaz said unto her, At mealtime come thou hither, and eat of the bread, and dip thy morsel in the vinegar. And she sat beside the reapers: and he reached her parched corn, and she did eat, and was sufficed, and left.
15 Paakasimuka kuti anongere, Bhoazi akarayira majaya ake achiti, “Kunyange akaunganidza pakati pezvisote, musamudzivisa.
And when she was risen up to glean, Boaz commanded his young men, saying, Let her glean even among the sheaves, and reproach her not:
16 Asi, mumuvhomorere dzimwe tsama, kubva pamasumbu enyu mumusiyire agononga, uye musamutsiura.”
And let fall also some of the handfuls of purpose for her, and leave them, that she may glean them, and rebuke her not.
17 Naizvozvo Rute akanongera ari mumunda kusvikira manheru. Ipapo akapura bhari raakanga aunganidza, rikasvika pachiero cheefa.
So she gleaned in the field until even, and beat out that she had gleaned: and it was about an ephah of barley.
18 Akaritakura akaenda naro kuguta, vamwene vake vakaona kuti akanga aunganidza zvakadini. Rute akavigirawo vamwene vake zvaakanga asiya paakanga adya akaguta.
And she took it up, and went into the city: and her mother in law saw what she had gleaned: and she brought forth, and gave to her that she had reserved after she was sufficed.
19 Vamwene vake vakamubvunza vakati, “Nhasi wanga uchinongera uri kupiko? Washandirepi? Ngaaropafadzwe murume uyo akuona.” Ipapo Rute akaudza vamwene vake pamusoro pomunhu akanga ari mwene wenzvimbo yaakanga achishandira. Akati kwaari, “Zita romurume wandashanda naye nhasi ndiBhoazi.”
And her mother in law said unto her, Where hast thou gleaned to day? and where wroughtest thou? blessed be he that did take knowledge of thee. And she shewed her mother in law with whom she had wrought, and said, The man’s name with whom I wrought to day is Boaz.
20 Naomi akati kumuroora wake, “Jehovha ngaamuropafadze! Iye asina kurega kuratidza tsitsi kuvapenyu navakafa.” Akatizve, “Murume iyeye ihama yedu yapedyo; mumwe wavadzikinuri vedu.”
And Naomi said unto her daughter in law, Blessed be he of the Lord, who hath not left off his kindness to the living and to the dead. And Naomi said unto her, The man is near of kin unto us, one of our next kinsmen.
21 Ipapo Rute muMoabhu akati, “Abva ati kwandiri, ‘Gara navashandi vangu kusvikira vapedza kucheka zviyo zvangu zvose.’”
And Ruth the Moabitess said, He said unto me also, Thou shalt keep fast by my young men, until they have ended all my harvest.
22 Naomi akati kuna Rute muroora wake, “Zvichava zvakanaka kwauri mwanangu, kuti uende navasikana vake, nokuti ukaenda mumunda womumwe ungazokanganiswa.”
And Naomi said unto Ruth her daughter in law, It is good, my daughter, that thou go out with his maidens, that they meet thee not in any other field.
23 Saka Rute akagara pedyo navasikana vaishandira Bhoazi achinongera kusvikira kuchekwa kwegorosi nebhari kwapera. Uye iye akagara navamwene vake.
So she kept fast by the maidens of Boaz to glean unto the end of barley harvest and of wheat harvest; and dwelt with her mother in law.
