5 E lyo Boasi atile: “Ubushiku ukashitamo ibala kuli Naomi, ukope na Ruti umwina Moabu, mukamfwilwa, pa kuti ukabukulule ishina lya wafwa nga waba impyani yakwe.”+
6 Awe kalubula atile: “Nafilwa ukushita, epali naonaula ubupyani bwandi. Kanshi iwe wine ulubule nakupa insambu sha kulubula, pantu ine nafilwa ukulubula.”
7 Nomba ulu e lutambi lwa kale mu Israele: Pa kushininkisha ukuti umuntu nashita fimo nangu nabakabushanya alefuula indyato+ yakwe no kupeela umunankwe, ne ci e caleba ubunte mu Israele.

9 E lyo Boasi atile ku bakalamba na ku bantu bonse: “Imwe muli bakambone+ ukuti ine lelo line nashita kuli Naomi fyonse ifya kwa Elimeleke na fyonse ifya kwa Kilyone ne fya kwa Maalone.
10 Na Ruti wine umwina Moabu, muka Maalone, na o nimushita ukuti abe umukashi wandi ku kubukulula ishina lya wafwa+ pa kumupyana pa kuti ishina lyakwe likaloba kuli bamunyina kabili likaloba na mu mpongolo ya cifulo cakwe.* Imwe muli bakambone+ lelo.”
11 E lyo abantu bonse abali mu mpongolo na bakalamba batile: “Tuli bakambone! Shi Yehova nalenge umwanakashi uuleisa ku ng’anda ku mobe ukuba nga Rakele+ kabili nga Lea,+ abanakashi babili abakuulile ing’anda ya kwa Israele;+ kabili uye ululumbi mu Efrata+ no kulumbuka mu Betelehemu.+
12 Kabili ing’anda yobe ibe nge ng’anda ya kwa Perese, uo Tamari afyele kuli Yuda,+ pa mulandu wa bana abo Yehova akakupeela mu mukashana+ uyu.”
13 Awe Boasi abuulile Ruti no kumuupa kabili alikumene nankwe. E fyo Yehova amulengele ukwimita+ na o afyele umwana umwaume.
14 Kabili abanakashi batendeke ukulanda+ kuli Naomi abati: “Yehova nacindikwe,+ uushikulekele ukwabula kalubula lelo; pa kuti ishina lyakwe lilumbuke mu Israele.
15 Nomba uyu mwana akulakunasha ku mutima kabili akulakusunga mu bukote,+ pantu nokofyala uwakutemwa,+ uwaba umusuma kuli iwe ukucila abana baume+ cinelubali (7), e ukufyalile uyu mwana.”
16 Na o Naomi abuulile umwana no kumubika pa cifuba cakwe, no kumulela e walamulela.
17 Awe abanakashi abena mupalamano+ bamwinike ishina, kabili batile: “Naomi nafyala umwana umwaume.” Na bo bamwinike ishina lya kuti Obedi.*+ Ena e wafyele Yese,+ wishi wa kwa Davidi.
18 Nomba ifi e fyakonkene abana ba kwa Perese:+ Perese afyele Hesrone;+
19 Hesrone afyele Ramu; Ramu+ na o afyele Aminadabu;
20 e lyo Aminadabu+ afyele Naashone;+ Naashone na o afyele Salumoni;
21 Salumoni+ afyele Boasi; na Boasi+ afyele Obedi;
22 e lyo Obedi na o afyele Yese;+ na Yese afyele Davidi.+
