Pea naʻe pehē ʻe Naomi ki heʻene ongo taʻahine ʻi he fono, “Mo ō fakatouʻosi pe ʻo foki atu taki taha ki he fale ʻo ʻene faʻē: ke fai ʻofa ʻa Sihova kiate kimoua, ʻo hangē ko ia kuo mo fai ki he pekia, pea mo au.
9 Jehovha ngaaite kuti mumwe nomumwe wenyu awane zororo mumba yomumwe murume.” Ipapo akavatsvoda uye vakachema zvikuru.
Ke tuku ʻe Sihova ke mo ʻilo ʻae fiemālie fakatouʻosi pe ʻi he fale ʻo homo husepāniti.” Pea naʻe toki ʻuma ia kiate kinaua; pea naʻa na hiki hona leʻo, ʻo tangi.
10 Zvino vakati kwaari, “Tichadzokera nemi kuvanhu vokwenyu.”
Pea naʻa na pehē kiate ia, “Ko e moʻoni te ma ō mo koe ki ho kakai.
11 Asi Naomi akati kwavari, “Dzokerai, vana vangu. Mungadireiko kuenda neni? Ndichazova navamwe vanakomana, vangazova varume venyu here?
Pea naʻe pehē ʻe Naomi, “ʻA ʻeku ongo taʻahine mo foki atu: ko e hā te tau ō ai mo au? He ʻoku kei toe ha tama ʻi hoku fatu, koeʻuhi ke na hoko ko homo husepāniti?
12 Dzokerai, vanasikana vangu; ini ndachembera kwazvo zvokuti handingavi nomumwe murume. Kunyange dai ndaifunga kuti ndichine tariro, kunyange ndaiva nomurume usiku huno ndikabereka vanakomana,
Mo foki atu ʻa ʻeku ongo taʻahine, pea ʻalu ʻi homo hala: he kuo u motuʻa fau ke toe maʻu ha husepāniti. Ka ne u pehē ʻeau, ʻOku ou ʻamanaki lelei, pea ka ne maʻu ʻeau ha husepāniti he poōni foki, pea u fanauʻi ʻae tama tangata;
13 maizovamirira kusvikira vakura here? Mungazogara musina kuwanikwa nokuda kwavo here? Kwete, vanasikana vangu. Izvi zvandishungurudza kwazvo kupinda imi, nokuti ruoko rwaJehovha rwauya kuzorwisana neni!”
He te mo tatali ki ai ke ʻoua ke na tupu? Te mo faʻa tatali ki ai, pea ʻoua naʻa maʻu ha husepāniti? ʻE ʻikai, ʻa ʻeku ongo taʻahine; he ʻoku ou mamahi lahi koeʻuhi ko kimoua ʻi heʻene mafao mai ʻae nima ʻo Sihova kiate au.”
14 Nokuda kwaizvozvo, vakachema zvakare. Ipapo Opa akasvetana navamwene akaonekana navo, asi Rute akanamatirana navo.
Pea naʻa na hiki hake hona leʻo, ʻo toe tangi: pea ʻuma ʻa Opa ki heʻene faʻē ʻi he fono; ka naʻe pikitai ʻa Lute kiate ia.
15 Naomi akati kwaari, “Tarira, mukadzinyina wako adzokera kuvanhu vokwake nokuvamwari vake. Chidzokera naye.”
Pea pehē ʻe ia, “Vakai, kuo toe liu atu ʻa ho tokoua ʻi he fono ki hono kakai, pea ki hono ngaahi ʻotua: ke ke foki koe ʻo muimui atu ki ho tokoua ʻi he fono.”
16 Asi Rute akapindura akati, “Musandigombedzera kuti ndikusiyei kana kukufuratirai. Kwamunoenda ndiko kwandichaendawo, uye pamunogara ndipo pandichagarawo. Vanhu venyu vachava vanhu vangu uye Mwari wenyu achava Mwari wangu.
Pea naʻe pehē ʻe Lute, “ʻOua naʻa ke kole ke u liʻaki koe, pe ke u foki mei heʻeku muimui ʻiate koe: he ko e potu ʻoku ke ʻalu ki ai, te ta ō ai; pea ko e potu te ke mohe ai, te ta mohe ai: ko ho kakai ʻe hoko ko hoku kakai, pea ko ho ʻOtua ko hoku ʻOtua:
17 Pamunofira ndipo pandichafirawo, uye ndipo pandichavigwa. Jehovha ngaandirange, zvinorwadza kwazvo, kana pakava nechimwe chinhu chingatiparadzanisa kunze kworufu.”
Ko e potu te ke mate ai, te u mate ai, pea te u tanu ʻi ai: ke fai pehē ʻe Sihova kiate au, pea lahi hake, ʻo kapau ʻe ai ha meʻa te ta māvae ai mo koe ka ko e mate pe.”
18 Zvino Naomi akati aona kuti Rute akanga ashinga kuenda naye, akarega kumugombedzera.
Pea ʻi heʻene vakai ʻoku loto mālohi pe ia ke na ō mo ia, naʻe tuku ʻene kei lea ki ai.
19 Saka vakadzi vaviri ava vakaramba vachifamba kusvikira vasvika kuBheterehema. Vakati vasvika muBheterehema, guta rose rakazungunuswa nokuda kwavo, uye vakadzi vakakatyamara vachiti, “Angava Naomi here uyu?”
Pea ko ia, naʻa na ō ai ke na hoko ki Petelihema. Pea ʻi heʻena hoko ki Petelihema, pea pehē, naʻe ngatū ʻae kolo kotoa pē koeʻuhi ko kinaua, pea nau fepehēʻaki, “Ko Naomi eni?”
20 Iye akati kwavari, “Musandidaidza kuti Naomi. Ndidaidzei kuti Mara, nokuti Wamasimba Ose akashungurudza upenyu hwangu kwazvo.
Pea naʻe pehē ʻe ia kiate kinautolu, “ʻOua naʻa ui au ko Naomi kae ui au ko Mala: he kuo fai fakamamahi lahi kiate au ʻe he Māfimafi.
21 Ndakaenda ndakazara, asi Jehovha akandidzosa ndisina chinhu. Seiko muchinditi Naomi? Jehovha akandirwadzisa; Wamasimba Ose akauyisa rushambwa pamusoro pangu.”
Naʻaku ʻalu kituʻa kuo u fonu, pea kuo toe ʻomi au ʻe Sihova ki ʻapi kuo u maha: pea koeʻumaʻā hoʻomou ui au ko Naomi, he kuo tukuakiʻi au ʻe Sihova, pea kuo fakamamahiʻi au ʻe he Māfimafi?”
22 Naizvozvo Naomi akadzokera achibva kuMoabhu, naRute muMoabhu, muroora wake, vakasvika muBheterehema nguva yokukohwa bhari ichangotanga.
Ko ia naʻe liu mai ʻa Naomi, mo Lute ko e fefine Moape, ko ʻene tama ʻi he fono naʻe haʻu mo ia, ʻaia naʻe haʻu mei he fonua ko Moape: pea naʻa na hoko ki Petelihema ʻi he kamataʻanga ʻoe ututaʻu paʻale.
