1 Ɔbarima ɔdefoɔ a na ɔyɛ okunini bi tenaa Betlehem a na wɔfrɛ no Boas. Na ɔyɛ Naomi kunu Elimelek busuani.
Nawomi yalina mulamu we, ng’ava mu kika kya bba, Erimereki, nga mugagga, erinnya lye nga ye Bowaazi.
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.”
Awo Luusi Omumowaabu n’agamba Nawomi nti, “Ka ŋŋende mu nnimiro okulonda ebirimba bya sayiri, ngoberere oyo anankwatirwa ekisa.” Nawomi n’amuddamu nti, “Genda, muwala wange.”
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.
Amangwago, n’agenda, n’atandika okulonda mu nnimiro abakunguzi we bayise. Awo ne yesanga ng’atuuse mu nnimiro ya Bowaazi, ow’omu kika kya Erimereki.
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.”
Mu kiseera kye kimu Bowaazi n’atuuka okuva e Besirekemu, n’agamba abakunguzi be nti, “Mukama Katonda abeere nammwe.” Nabo ne bamuddamu nti, “Naawe Mukama Katonda akuwe omukisa.”
5 Ɛnna Boas bisaa ne sohwɛfoɔ sɛ, “Ababaawa bɛn na ɔwɔ nohoa hɔ no?”
Awo Bowaazi n’abuuza nampala wa bakunguzi be nti, “Omuwala ono w’ani?”
6 Sohwɛfoɔ no buaa sɛ, “Ɔyɛ ababaawa bi a ɔfiri Moab a ɔne Naomi baeɛ.
N’amuddamu nti, “Ono ye muwala Omumowaabu eyajja ne Nawomi okuva e Mowaabu.
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.”
Atwegayiridde alondelonde abakunguzi we bayise mu binywa, era asiibye akola okuva obw’enkya okutuusa essaawa eno, okuggyako akabanga akatono ke yawumuddemu.”
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.
Awo Bowaazi n’agamba Luusi nti, “Wuliriza, muwala ggwe. Togendanga n’olondanga mu nnimiro endala yonna, tovanga mu eno, naye obeeranga wamu nabaweereza bange abawala.
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.”
Gendereranga ennimiro basajja bange mwe bamaze okukungula, era ogobererenga abawala. Abasajja mbalagidde obutakutawanya. Era ennyonta bw’ekulumanga, onywenga ku mazzi abasajja ge basenye.”
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?”
Awo Luusi bwe yawulira ebyo, n’avuunama ku ttaka, ng’agamba nti, “Ng’ondaze ekisa mu maaso go, n’onfaako nze, munnaggwanga.”
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.
Naye Bowaazi n’addamu nti, “By’okoledde nnyazaala wo kasookedde balo afa, ne bwe waleka kitaawo ne nnyoko era n’abantu bo n’ojja mu nsi ey’abantu botomanyi, babintegezezza byonna.
12 Awurade, Israel Onyankopɔn a woanya dwanekɔbea wɔ ne ntaban ase no nnom wo.”
Mukama Katonda wa Isirayiri gwe weeyuna wansi w’ebiwaawaatiro bye, akusasule olw’ebyo by’okoze. MukamaKatonda wa Isirayiri, oyo gwe weewagamye wansi w’ebiwawaatiro bye, akuwe empeera ennene ddala.”
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.”
Awo Luusi n’addamu nti, “Nneeyongere okulaba ekisa mu maaso go mukama wange, kubanga oyogedde ebigambo ebyekisa eri omuweereza wo era emmeeme yange ogizizza mu nteeko wadde nga sigwanira kuba omu ku baweereza bo.”
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.
Ekiseera ekyokulya bwe kyatuuka, Bowaazi n’agamba Luusi nti, “Jjangu okoze omugaati gwo mu wayini akatuuse.” Awo Luusi bwe yatuula wansi, Bowaazi n’amuwa sayiri ensiike, n’alya, n’akkuta, n’emulemera nawo.
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.
Oluvannyuma ng’okulya kuwedde, n’agolokoka agende alonde, era Bowaazi n’alagira abaddu be nti, “Ne bw’anaalonda mu binywa temumugaana.
16 Na monyiyi afiafi no mu deɛ no bi nnyae mu ngu fam mma no na ɔnsesa, na monnha no.”
Wakiri, mumuleke yerondere mu miganda so temumuwuuna.”
17 Enti, Rut sesaa atokoɔ no wɔ hɔ da mu no nyinaa na ɔporoo atokoɔ no saa anwummerɛ no, ɔnyaa bɛyɛ lita aduonu mmienu.
Awo Luusi n’alonda mu nnimiro okutuuka akawungeezi, oluvannyuma n’awuula ne sayiri gye yali akuŋŋaanyizza, n’aweza nga kilo kkumi na ssatu.
18 Ɔsoa de kɔɔ kurom, de kɔkyerɛɛ nʼase. Afei, Rut de nʼawiaduane a ɔgya sii ne hɔ no maa no.
Yonna n’agyetikka, n’agitwala mu kibuga, ne nnyazaala we n’agiraba. Era yamuleetera ne ku mmere gye yali afissizzaawo.
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.”
Nnyazaala we yasanyuka nnyo, era n’amubuuza nti, “Wakoze mu nnimiro y’ani leero? Aweebwe omukisa oyo akukwatiddwa ekisa!” Awo Luusi n’abuulira nnyazaala we nannyini nnimiro mwe yakoze, n’erinnya ly’omwami nga ye Bowaazi.
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.”
Nawomi namugamba nti, “Mukama Katonda atalekanga kulaga kisa eri abalamu n’abafu, amuwe omukisa. Anti omusajja oyo muganda waffe ddala, era y’omu ku banunuzi baffe ddala.”
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.”
Luusi Omumowaabu n’ayongerako nti, “N’okuŋŋamba yaŋŋambye nti nkolere wamu n’abakozi be okutuusa lwe balimala eby’okukungula bye.”
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.”
Awo Nawomi n’agamba Luusi muka mwana we nti, “Kijja kuba kirungi nnyo muwala wange, okubeeranga kumpi nabaweereza be abakazi, kubanga singa onoogenda mu nnimiro y’omulala akabi kayinza okukutuukako.”
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.
Awo Luusi n’abeeranga kumpi n’abaweereza ba Bowaazi ng’alonda okutuusa amakungula ga sayiri n’eŋŋaano bwe gaggwa, n’abeeranga wamu ne nnyazaala we.
