Rut 2
1 Ɔbarima ɔdefo a na ɔyɛ okunini bi tenaa Betlehem a na wɔfrɛ no Boas. Na ɔyɛ Naomi kunu Elimelek busuani.
UNawomi wayelesihlobo sakwabozala, indoda eyayinothile osendweni luka-Elimeleki, ibizo layo linguBhowazi.
2 Da koro bi, Rut, Moabni, ka kyerɛɛ Naomi se, “Ma menkɔ afuw mu na minkodi obiara a menya nʼanim anuonyam akyi nkɔboaboa atoko ase.” Na Naomi kae se, “Eye, me babea, kɔ.”
URuthe umʼMowabi wathi kuNawomi, “Yekela ngiye emasimini ngiyedobha inhlamvu zamabele asala emuva kulowo ozakuba lomusa kimi.” UNawomi wathi, “Kulungile, hamba ndodakazi yami.”
3 Enti Rut kɔ kodii atwafo no akyi. Na nea ɛbae ne sɛ, ohuu sɛ ɔreyɛ adwuma wɔ Boas a ɔyɛ nʼase Elimelek busuani no afuw mu.
Wasehamba, wafika wadobha amabele asala ngemuva kwabavunayo. Kwenzakala ukuthi wafika wasebenza ensimini kaBhowazi, owayengowosendo luka-Elimeleki.
4 Bere a ɔwɔ hɔ no, Boas fi Betlehem bae. Okyiaa atwafo no se, “Awurade ne mo ntena!” Atwafo no gyee so se, “Awurade nhyira wo.”
Kwasekufika uBhowazi evela eBhethilehema, wabingelela abavuni wathi, “UThixo kabe lani!” Baphendula bathi, “UThixo akubusise!”
5 Boas bisaa ne sohwɛfo no se, “Ababaa bɛn na ɔwɔ nohɔ hɔ no?”
UBhowazi wabuza inceku yakhe eyayikhangele abavunayo wathi, “Intombi le ngekabani?”
6 Sohwɛfo no buae se, “Ɔyɛ ababaa bi a ofi Moab a ɔne Naomi bae.
Yena wathi, “NgeyaseMowabi eyabuya loNawomi.
7 Anɔpa yi ara na obisaa me se, obetumi adi atwafo no akyi aboaboa atoko ano ana? Ɔyɛ nsiyɛfo a bere kakraa bi na ɔde homee wɔ pata no ase hɔ.”
Uthe, ‘Ngicela ukudobha okusalayo phakathi kwezithungo ngemva kwabavunayo.’ Ulokhu efike emasimini ekuseni lokhu esebenza kuze kube khathesi, ngaphandle kokuphumula kancinyane nje emthunzini.”
8 Boas kɔɔ hɔ kɔka kyerɛɛ Rut se, “Me babea tie. Wo ne yɛn ntena ha ara na boaboa atoko; nkɔ afuw foforo biara mu. Di mmea a wɔreyɛ adwuma wɔ mʼafuw yi mu no akyi pɛɛ.
UBhowazi wasesithi kuRuthe, “Lalela lapha-ke ndodakazi yami. Ungaze wayadobha kwenye insimu, ungasuki lapha. Hlala lapha lamantombazana azincekukazi zami.
9 Hwɛ faako a wɔretwa wɔ afuw no mu na di wɔn akyi. Mabɔ mmerante no kɔkɔ sɛ wɔnnhaw wo. Na sɛ osukɔm de wo a, nom nsu a wɔakɔsaw afi abura no mu no bi.”
Nanzelela leyonsimu lapho amadoda avuna khona, wena ulandele amantombazana. Ngiwalayile amadoda ukuba angakuhluphi. Ungezwa usuwomile, uhambe uyenatha ezimbizeni ezikhelelwe zagcwaliswa ngamadoda.”
10 Rut butuwii, de nʼanim kyerɛɛ fam daa no ase. Na ɔkae se, “Adɛn nti na manya saa adom yi wɔ wʼani so, me a meyɛ ɔnanani yi?”
Ekuzwa lokhu uRuthe wathi mbo phansi ngobuso, wambuza wathi, “Kungani ngifumane umusa ongaka kuwe uze ungizwele mina ngingowezizweni?”
11 Boas buae se, “Nea woayɛ ama wʼase efi wo kunu wu akyi nyinaa no, wɔaka akyerɛ me, sɛ wufii wʼagya ne wo na ne wo man mu na wo ne nnipa a wunnim wɔn wɔ baabiara bɛtenae no.
UBhowazi wathi, “Sengitsheliwe ngakho konke owakwenzela unyokozala kusukela ekufeni komkakho lokuthi watshiya uyihlo lonyoko lelizwe lakini weza ukuzahlala labantu owawungabazi ngaphambilini.
12 Awurade, Israel Nyankopɔn a woanya guankɔbea wɔ ne ntaban ase no nnom wo.”
Sengathi uThixo angakupha umvuzo ngalokhu okwenzileyo. Sengathi uThixo, uNkulunkulu ka-Israyeli, oze ukuphephela ngaphansi kwamaphiko akhe angakupha umvuzo omkhulu.”
13 Na ɔno nso kae se, “Ma menkɔ so nnya wʼanim adom daa, me wura. Woama me awerɛkyekye na woakasa akyerɛ wʼafenaa ayamye so, me a mensɛ na memfata wo nnwumayɛfo no mu baako mpo no.”
URuthe wathi, “Sengathi ngingaqhubeka ngithola umusa kuwe, nkosi yami. Usungiphe ukududuzeka njalo ukhulume ngomusa encekukazini yakho loba ngingafanele ukuba ngomunye wamantombazana azincekukazi zakho.”
14 Eduu adidibere no, Boas frɛɛ no se, “Bra ma yennidi. Wutumi de wo brodo no bɔ nsa biara a wopɛ mu.” Enti ɔne nʼawitwafo no tenaa ase na Boas maa no aduan sen sɛnea obetumi adi mpo.
Ngesikhathi sokudla, uBhowazi wathi kuye, “Woza lapha. Nansi isinkwa, dlana utshebe ngewayini elileviniga.” Wahlala phansi labavunayo, uBhowazi wasemupha amabele akhanzingiweyo. Wadla wasutha waze watshiya.
15 Bere a Rut san kɔɔ nʼadwuma so bio no, Boas ka kyerɛɛ ne mmerante no se, “Momma no mmoaboa atoko no ano mfi nʼafiafi no mu na munnsiw no kwan.
Esesukuma ukuthi ayebutha, uBhowazi walaya amadoda wathi, “Loba angaze adobhe phakathi kwezithungo, lingaze lamhlupha.
16 Na munyiyi afiafi no mu de no bi nnyae mu ngu fam mma no na ɔnsesaw, na monnhaw no.”
Kodwa, hwatshani amanye amahlanga ezithungweni limtshiyele ukuze adobhe kuwo, lingaze lamkhuza.”
17 Enti Rut sesaw atoko no wɔ hɔ da mu no nyinaa na ɔporow atoko no saa anwummere no, onyaa bɛyɛ lita aduonu abien.
Ngakho uRuthe wadobha ensimini kwaze kwahwalala. Wasebhula ibhali ayeyidobhile, yagcwala phamu amagokoko amabili.
18 Ɔsoa de kɔɔ kurom, de kɔkyerɛɛ nʼase. Afei, Rut de nʼawiaduan a ogyaw no maa no.
Wayithwala waya layo ngekhaya, uninazala wabona lokho ayekuvunile. URuthe wakhupha ayekutshiyile esedle wasutha, weza lakho wamupha.
19 Naomi hui no, ɔteɛɛ mu se, “Ɛdɔɔso yiye! Na ɛhe na nnɛ woboaboaa saa atoko yi nyinaa ano fi? Ɛhe na wokɔyɛɛ adwuma? Awurade nhyira nea ɔboaa wo no!” Rut kaa ɔbarima a ɔyɛɛ adwuma wɔ nʼafum no ho asɛm kyerɛɛ nʼase no, ɔtoaa so kae se, “Nea meyɛɛ adwuma wɔ nʼafum no, wɔfrɛ no Boas.”
Uninazala wabuza wathi, “Udobhe ngaphi lamhlanje? Usebenze ngaphi? Ubusisiwe lowomuntu okunanzeleleyo!” URuthe wasemtshela uninazala ngalowo lapho ayekade esebenza khona wathi, “Ibizo lendoda engisebenze kuyo lamhla nguBhowazi.”
20 Naomi ka kyerɛɛ nʼase no se, “Awurade nhyira no. Ɔrekyerɛ yɛn ne wo kunu a wawu no nʼayamye. Saa ɔbarima no yɛ abusuafo a wɔbɛn yɛn pɛɛ no mu baako a ɔyɛ abusua no mu ogyefo baako.”
UNawomi wathi kumalukazana wakhe, “UThixo kambusise! Kayekelanga ukutshengisa umusa wakhe kwabaphilayo lakwasebafayo.” Wengeza njalo wathi, “Indoda leyo iyisihlobo sethu esiseduze; ingomunye wezihlobo zethu ezingabahlengi.”
21 Rut kae se, “Nea ɛka ho bio ne sɛ, mpo, Boas ka kyerɛɛ me se, mensan mmra na me ne nʼawitwafo no mmɛtena nkosi bere a wobewie otwa no.”
URuthe umʼMowabi wasesithi, “Uze wathi kimi, ‘Ubohlala ulandela izisebenzi zami zize ziqede ukuvuna amabele ami.’”
22 Naomi teɛɛ mu se, “Anwonwasɛm ni! Yɛ nea ɔka no. Wo ne nʼadwumayɛfo no ntena nkosi sɛ wobewie otwa no. Wʼasom bedwo wo wɔ hɔ sen afuw biara mu.”
UNawomi wathi kuRuthe umalukazana wakhe, “Kuzakuba kuhle, ndodakazi yami, ukuthi uhambe lamantombazana akhe, ngoba ungahlutshwa ensimini yomunye.”
23 Enti Rut ne mmea a wɔwɔ Boas afum hɔ no yɛɛ adwuma. Ɔne wɔn boaboaa atoko no ano kosii atokotwa no awiei. Afei, ɔne wɔn twaa awi nso. Nanso saa bere no nyinaa na ɔne nʼase na ɛte.
Ngakho uRuthe waba seduze lamantombazana azincekukazi zikaBhowazi ekudobheni kwaze kwaphela ukuvuna ibhali lengqoloyi. Njalo wahlala loninazala.
