Rut 2
1 Ɔbarima ɔdefoɔ a na ɔyɛ okunini bi tenaa Betlehem a na wɔfrɛ no Boas. Na ɔyɛ Naomi kunu Elimelek busuani.
Njalo uNawomi wayelesihlobo somkakhe, umuntu oliqhawe onothileyo owosendo lukaElimeleki, lebizo lakhe lalinguBhowazi.
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.”
URuthe umMowabikazi wasesithi kuNawomi: Ake ngiye emasimini, ngiyekhothoza okwezikhwebu ngemva kwalowo engizathola umusa emehlweni akhe. Wasesithi kuye: Hamba, ndodakazi yami.
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.
Wasehamba wafika wakhothoza ensimini ngemva kwabavuni. Waqabuka efika kungxenye yensimu kaBhowazi owayengowosendo lukaElimeleki.
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.”
Khangela-ke, uBhowazi wafika evela eBhethelehema, wasesithi kubavuni: INkosi ibe lani. Basebesithi kuye: INkosi ikubusise.
5 Ɛnna Boas bisaa ne sohwɛfoɔ sɛ, “Ababaawa bɛn na ɔwɔ nohoa hɔ no?”
UBhowazi wasesithi encekwini yakhe eyayibekwe phezu kwabavuni: Le yintombi kabani?
6 Sohwɛfoɔ no buaa sɛ, “Ɔyɛ ababaawa bi a ɔfiri Moab a ɔne Naomi baeɛ.
Inceku eyayibekwe phezu kwabavuni yasiphendula yathi: Yintombi umMowabikazi eyabuya loNawomi evela elizweni lakoMowabi.
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.”
Yasisithi: Ake ngikhothoze ngibuthe phakathi kwezithungo ngemva kwabavuni. Ngakho ifikile, iqhubekile kusukela ekuseni kuze kube khathesi; lokuhlala kwayo endlini kuncinyane.
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.
UBhowazi wasesithi kuRuthe: Kawuzwa yini, ndodakazi yami? Ungayikhothoza kwenye insimu, futhi ungedluli usuke lapha, kodwa unamathele lapha emantombazaneni ami.
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.”
Amehlo akho kawabe sensimini ayivunayo, uwalandele. Angithi ngiwalayile amajaha ukuthi angakuthinti. Nxa usuwomile uye ezimbizeni, unathe kulokhu amajaha akukhileyo.
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?”
Khona wathi mbo ngobuso bakhe wakhothamela emhlabathini, wathi kuye: Ngitholelani umusa emehlweni akho ukuthi unginanze lokhu ngingowezizweni?
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.
UBhowazi wasephendula wathi kuye: Kutshengisiwe lokutshengiswa kimi konke owakwenzela unyokozala emva kokufa kwendoda yakho, ukuthi utshiye uyihlo lonyoko lelizwe lokuzalwa kwakho, weza ebantwini owawungabazi ngaphambili.
12 Awurade, Israel Onyankopɔn a woanya dwanekɔbea wɔ ne ntaban ase no nnom wo.”
INkosi kayiwuvuze umsebenzi wakho, sengathi umvuzo wakho opheleleyo kawuvele eNkosini uNkulunkulu kaIsrayeli, oze ngaphansi kwempiko zayo ukuphephela.
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.”
Wasesithi: Ake ngithole umusa emehlweni akho, nkosi yami, ngoba ungiduduzile, njalo ngoba ukhulume enhliziyweni yencekukazi yakho, lanxa mina ngingenjengenye yencekukazi zakho.
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.
UBhowazi wathi kuye: Ngesikhathi sokudla sondela lapha, udle okwesinkwa, utshebe ucezu lwakho kuviniga. Ngakho wahlala eceleni kwabavuni, wasemkhangeza amabele akhanzingiweyo; wadla wasutha watshiya.
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.
Kwathi esukuma ukukhothoza, uBhowazi walaya amajaha akhe esithi: Myekeleni ukuthi akhothoze laphakathi kwezithungo, lingamyangisi,
16 Na monyiyi afiafi no mu deɛ no bi nnyae mu ngu fam mma no na ɔnsesa, na monnha no.”
laye limhwatshele-ke ngabomu okunye ezinyandeni, likutshiye ukuze akukhothoze, lingamkhuzi.
17 Enti, Rut sesaa atokoɔ no wɔ hɔ da mu no nyinaa na ɔporoo atokoɔ no saa anwummerɛ no, ɔnyaa bɛyɛ lita aduonu mmienu.
Wakhothoza-ke ensimini kwaze kwahlwa. Wabhula lokho ayekukhothozile, kwaba phose yi-efa yebhali.
18 Ɔsoa de kɔɔ kurom, de kɔkyerɛɛ nʼase. Afei, Rut de nʼawiaduane a ɔgya sii ne hɔ no maa no.
Wakuthwala wangena emzini, loninazala wabona akukhothozileyo; wakhupha wamnika akutshiya esesuthi.
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.”
Uninazala wasesithi kuye: Ubukhothoza ngaphi lamuhla? Usebenze ngaphi? Kabusiswe lowo okunanzeleleyo. Wasemtshela uninazala ukuthi usebenze kobani, wathi: Ibizo lalowomuntu engisebenze kuye lamuhla nguBhowazi.
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.”
UNawomi wasesithi kumalokazana wakhe: Kabusiswe yiNkosi engayekelanga umusa wayo kwabaphilayo lakwabafileyo. UNawomi wathi kuye: Lowomuntu uyisihlobo sethu esiseduze kithi, ongomunye wabahlengi bethu.
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.”
URuthe umMowabikazi wasesithi: Ngoba laye uthe kimi: Uzanamathela emajaheni engilawo aze aqede sonke isivuno engilaso.
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.”
UNawomi wasesithi kuRuthe umalokazana wakhe: Kuhle, ndodakazi yami, ukuthi uphume lamantombazana akhe, hlezi bakuhlangabeze kwenye insimu.
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.
Wasenamathela emantombazaneni kaBhowazi, ekhothoza kwaze kwaphela isivuno sebhali lesivuno sengqoloyi. Wasehlala loninazala.
