Ma Naomi nwere otu nwanne di ya, onye bara ụba, bụrụkwa onye a maara nke ọma, onye si nʼagbụrụ Elimelek. Aha nwoke a bụ Boaz.
2 Ɛda koro bi, Rut, Moabni, ka kyerɛɛ Naomi sɛ, “Ma menkɔ afuo mu na menkɔboaboa atokoɔ nkaseɛ na menni obi a ɔbɛma me adi nʼakyi.” Na Naomi kaa sɛ, “Ɛyɛ, me babaa, kɔ.”
Rut onye Moab, gwara Naomi okwu sị ya, “Kwere ka m gaa nʼubi ebe a na-aghọ ọka, ka m lee ma m ga-achọta ihuọma nʼihu ndị na-aghọ ọka, ndị ga-ekwere ka m tụtụkọta ọka ndị ha hapụrụ.” Naomi zara sị ya, “Ọ dị mma nwa m, gaa.”
3 Enti, Rut kɔ kɔdii atwafoɔ no akyi. Na sɛdeɛ ɛbaeɛ ne sɛ, ɔhunuu sɛ ɔreyɛ adwuma wɔ Boas a ɔyɛ nʼase Elimelek busuani no afuo mu.
Ya mere, Rut pụrụ gaa na-atụtụ ọka nʼazụ ndị na-ewe ihe ubi. Ma dịka ihe si dị, Rut chọpụtara na ubi ọ na-atụtụ ọka bụ ubi Boaz, onye si nʼagbụrụ Elimelek.
4 Ɛberɛ a ɔwɔ hɔ no, Boas firi Betlehem baeɛ. Ɔkyeaa atwafoɔ no sɛ, “Awurade ne mo ntena!” Atwafoɔ no gyee so sɛ, “Awurade nhyira wo.”
Nʼoge ahụ, Boaz nʼonwe ya si na Betlehem bịarute nʼubi ahụ, kelee ndị ahụ na-aghọ mkpụrụ nʼubi sị ha, “Onyenwe anyị nọnyere unu.” Ha niile zakwara sị ya, “Onyenwe anyị gọzie gị.”
5 Ɛnna Boas bisaa ne sohwɛfoɔ sɛ, “Ababaawa bɛn na ɔwɔ nohoa hɔ no?”
Mgbe Boaz hụrụ Rut, ọ jụrụ onyeisi ndị ọrụ ubi ya sị, “Onye ka nwanyị a bụ?”
6 Sohwɛfoɔ no buaa sɛ, “Ɔyɛ ababaawa bi a ɔfiri Moab a ɔne Naomi baeɛ.
Onye nlekọta ọrụ ubi ahụ zaghachiri, “Ọ bụ onye Moab ahụ so Naomi lọta.
7 Anɔpa yi ara na ɔbisaa me sɛ, ɔbɛtumi aboaboa atokoɔ ano adi atwafoɔ no akyi anaa. Ɔyɛ nsiyɛfoɔ a ɛberɛ kakra bi na ɔde homee wɔ pata no ase hɔ.”
Ọ sịrị, ‘Biko kwere ka m soro ndị ọrụ nʼazụ tụtụkọtaa ukwu ọka ha hapụrụ.’ Kemgbe ụtụtụ ọ bịara, ọ kwụsịbeghị ọrụ ya karịakwa naanị nwa mgbe nta o zuru ike nʼokpuru ndo.”
8 Boas kɔɔ hɔ kɔka kyerɛɛ Rut sɛ, “Me babaa tie. Wo ne yɛn ntena ha ara na boaboa atokoɔ; mma nkɔ afuo foforɔ biara mu. Di mmaa a wɔreyɛ adwuma wɔ mʼafuo yi mu no akyi pɛɛ.
Ya mere, Boaz gwara Rut okwu sị ya, “Nwa m nwanyị, gee m ntị. Agakwala ịtụtụ ọka nʼubi ọzọ, esitekwala nʼebe a pụọ. Soro ụmụ agbọghọ na-ejere m ozi nọdụ nʼebe a.
9 Hwɛ faako a wɔretwa wɔ afuo no mu na di wɔn akyi. Mabɔ mmeranteɛ no kɔkɔ sɛ wɔnnha wo. Na sɛ sukɔm de wo a, nom nsuo a wɔakɔsa afiri abura no mu no bi.”
Lezie anya nʼubi ebe ndị ikom na-ewe ihe ubi, ma soro ụmụ agbọghọ ndị a. Enyela m ndị ikom ndị a iwu ka ha ghara ịmetụ gị aka. Mgbe ọbụla agụụ mmiri gụrụ gị, gaa nʼite mmiri ndị ahụ ndị ikom gbanyere mmiri kuru mmiri ṅụọ.”
10 Rut butuiɛ, de nʼanim kyerɛɛ fam daa no ase. Na ɔkaa sɛ, “Adɛn enti na manya saa adom yi wɔ wʼani so, me a meyɛ ɔnanani yi?”
Mgbe Boaz na-agwa ya okwu, Rut hulatara isi ya ala. Emesịa o kwuru sị, “Gịnị mere m ji chọta ụdị amara dị otu a nʼebe ị nọ, na ị hụtara m, ebe ị maara na m bụ naanị onye mba ọzọ?”
11 Boas buaa sɛ, “Deɛ woayɛ ama wʼase ɛfiri wo kunu wuo akyi no nyinaa, wɔaka akyerɛ me, sɛ wofirii wʼagya ne wo maame ne wo ɔman na wo ne nnipa a wonnim wɔn baabiara no bɛtenaeɛ no.
Boaz zara sị ya, “Anụla m ihe niile i meere nne di gị site nʼoge di gị nwụrụ, na otu i si hapụ nne gị na nna gị, na ala ebe amụrụ gị, bịa nʼebe a ibi nʼetiti ndị ị na-amaghị na mbụ.
12 Awurade, Israel Onyankopɔn a woanya dwanekɔbea wɔ ne ntaban ase no nnom wo.”
Ka Onyenwe anyị kwụghachi gị ụgwọ ihe ọma ndị a i mere. Ka Onyenwe anyị onye bụ Chineke Izrel, onye ị gbabara nʼokpuru nku ya izere ndụ kwụghachi gị nkwụghachi dị ukwu nʼihi ezi ọrụ gị niile.”
13 Na ɔno nso kaa sɛ, “Ma menkɔ so nnya wʼanim adom daa, me wura. Woama me awerɛkyekyerɛ na woakasa akyerɛ wʼafenaa ayamyɛ so, me a mensɛ na memfata wo nnwumayɛfoɔ no mu baako mpo no.”
Rut zara sị ya, “Ka m gaa nʼihu na-achọta amara nʼebe ị nọ, onyenwe m. Nʼihi na ị kasịela m obi, gwakwa m, odibo nwanyị gị, okwu dị nro. Ọ bụ ezie na m abụghị otu nʼime ndị odibo nwanyị gị.”
14 Ɛduruu adidiberɛ no, Boas frɛɛ no sɛ, “Bra ma yɛnnidi. Wotumi de wo burodo no bɔ nsã biara a wopɛ mu.” Enti, ɔne nʼayutwafoɔ no tenaa ase na Boas maa no aduane sene sɛdeɛ ɔbɛtumi adi mpo.
Mgbe oge iri nri ruru, Boaz sịrị ya, “Bịa nso nʼebe a, were ụfọdụ nri rie, sunyekwa achịcha gị nʼime mmanya viniga.” Mgbe o soro ndị ahụ na-ewe ihe ubi nọdụ ala iri ihe, o nyere ya ụfọdụ ọka a hụrụ nʼọkụ. O riri, rijuo afọ ma nri e nyere ya fọdụrụ.
15 Ɛberɛ a Rut sane kɔɔ nʼadwuma so bio no, Boas ka kyerɛɛ ne mmeranteɛ no sɛ, “Momma no mmoaboa atokoɔ no ano mfiri nʼafiafi no mu na monnsi no kwan.
Mgbe o biliri ịchịkọtakwa ọka, Boaz nyere ụmụ okorobịa ya iwu, “Hapụnụ ya ka ọ chịkọta ọka ọ bụladị nʼetiti ukwu ọka ndị guzo eguzo, unu agwala ya okwu ihere ọbụla.
16 Na monyiyi afiafi no mu deɛ no bi nnyae mu ngu fam mma no na ɔnsesa, na monnha no.”
Unu sitekwa nʼukwu ọka mịpụtara ya ụfọdụ tụsara ya nʼala ka ọ tụtụrụ. Unu abarala ya mba.”
17 Enti, Rut sesaa atokoɔ no wɔ hɔ da mu no nyinaa na ɔporoo atokoɔ no saa anwummerɛ no, ɔnyaa bɛyɛ lita aduonu mmienu.
Ya mere, Rut tụtụrụ ọka nʼubi ahụ ruo oge anyasị. Mgbe ọ fuchasịrị ọka balị niile ọ tụtụtara, o nwetara ihe nwere ike iru otu bushel.
18 Ɔsoa de kɔɔ kurom, de kɔkyerɛɛ nʼase. Afei, Rut de nʼawiaduane a ɔgya sii ne hɔ no maa no.
O buuru ya baa nʼime obodo, bunye ya nne di ya, nyekwa ya nri o rifọrọ mgbe o rijuchara afọ.
19 Naomi hunuiɛ no, ɔteaam sɛ, “Ɛdɔɔso yie! Na ɛhe na ɛnnɛ woboaboaa saa atokoɔ yi nyinaa ano firi? Ɛhe na wokɔyɛɛ adwuma? Awurade nhyira deɛ ɔboaa wo no!” Rut kaa ɔbarima a ɔyɛɛ adwuma wɔ nʼafuom no ho asɛm kyerɛɛ nʼase no, ɔtoaa so kaa sɛ, “Deɛ meyɛɛ adwuma wɔ nʼafuom no, wɔfrɛ no Boas.”
Nne di ya jụrụ ya, “Ebee ka ị tụtụrụ ọka taa? Ebee ka ị rụrụ ọrụ? Ka nwoke ahụ hụtara gị bụrụ onye a gọziri agọzi.” Rut kọọrọ nne di ya banyere onye ahụ ọ rụrụ ọrụ na nke ya. Ọ sịrị, “Aha nwoke mụ na ya rụrụ ọrụ bụ Boaz.”
20 Naomi ka kyerɛɛ nʼase no sɛ, “Awurade nhyira no. Ɔrekyerɛ yɛn ne wo kunu a wawuo no nʼayamyɛ. Saa ɔbarima no yɛ abusuafoɔ a wɔbɛn yɛn pɛɛ no mu baako a ɔyɛ abusua no mu ɔgyefoɔ baako.”
Mgbe ahụ Naomi zara nwunye nwa ya sị, “Onye Onyenwe anyị gọziri ka ọ bụ, onye na-ahapụbeghị igosi ebere ya nye ndị dị ndụ na ndị nwụrụ anwụ. Nwoke a bụ otu nʼime ndị agbụrụ anyị, otu onye nʼime ndị onye mgbapụta anyị.”
21 Rut kaa sɛ, “Deɛ ɛka ho bio ne sɛ, mpo, Boas ka kyerɛɛ me sɛ, mensane mmra na me ne nʼatwafoɔ no mmɛtena kɔsi ɛberɛ a wɔbɛwie otwa no.”
Mgbe ahụ Rut, onye Moab sịrị, “Ihe ọ sịkwara m bụ, ‘Nọnyere ndị ọrụ m tutu ruo mgbe ha ghọchara ọka niile dị nʼubi m.’”
22 Naomi teaam sɛ, “Anwanwasɛm nie! Yɛ deɛ ɔka no. Wo ne nʼadwumayɛfoɔ no ntena kɔsi sɛ wɔbɛwie otwa no. Wʼasom bɛdwo wo wɔ hɔ sen afuo biara mu.”
Naomi sịrị Rut, nwunye nwa ya, “Nwa m nwanyị, ọ kaara gị mma ime dịka o kwuru. Soro ụmụ agbọghọ nọ nʼubi ya nʼazụ tụtụọ ọka ị na-atụtụ, nʼihi na nʼubi onye ọzọ, e nwere ike imerụ gị ahụ.”
23 Enti, Rut ne mmaa a wɔwɔ Boas afuom hɔ no yɛɛ adwuma. Ɔne wɔn boaboaa atokoɔ no ano kɔsii atokotwa no awieeɛ. Afei, ɔne wɔn twaa ayuo nso. Nanso, saa ɛberɛ no nyinaa na ɔne nʼase na ɛte.
Ya mere, Rut sogidere ụmụ agbọghọ Boaz na-atụtụ ọka, tutu ruo ọgwụgwụ ịghọ ọka balị na wiiti. Ya na nne di ya bigidekwara.
