Lute 4:1-22
4 Bowaji wabande kate bhu mwelu wa mbanza yu waxikama bhenyobho. Kyoso o mulundudi a mutumbwile kwa Bowaji, kyexile mubhita, Bowaji wa mwixana: “Nganjé! Zá hanji. Xikama bhabha.” Mwene wayi yu waxikama.
2 Bowaji wexana dingi dikwinyi dya tufunga twa mbanza, yu wa ambela wixi: “Xikamenu bhabha.” Ene anga axikama.
3 Bowaji wambela o mulundudi: “Nowemi watundu ku ixi ya Mowabe wabhingi kusumbisa o kibhela* kyatokalele kwa phang’yetu Elimeleke.
4 Kyenyiki, ngamono kwila, kima kyambote ku kwijidisa o maka enyá ni ku kutangela: ‘Sumba-kyu bhu pholo ya athu atungu bhabha ni bhu pholo ya tufunga twa mbanza. Se wanda kilundula, lundula-kyu. Maji se kiwanda kilundula, ngitangele, mukonda éye wala ni ujitu wakulundula, eme ngala kudima dyé.’” Mwene watambwijila: “Ngamesena mwene ku kilundula.”
5 Bowaji wa mwambela: “Kizuwa-phe ki usumba o kibhela* kwa Nowemi, sumba-kyu we kwa Lute, mukwa Mowabe, muhatu wa difundu, phala kubheka dingi o dijina dya difundu ku undundu wê.”
6 Mukiki, o mulundudi wa mwambela: “Kingitena ku kilundula, phala kingidibotese o undundu wami. Lundula-kyu phala eye ni ujitu wami wakukula, mukonda eme kingitena ku kilundula.”
7 Mu kifwa kya akwa Izalayele m’ukulu, phala kubhitisa o ujitu wa kukula ku muthu wengi, exile mubhanga kiki: O diyala uzula o jiháyi jê, anga u jibhana kwa mukwa. Mu kubhanga kiki exile muxikina o kikutu mu Izalayele.
8 Kyenyiki, mu kuzwela kwa Bowaji: “Sumba-kyu phala eye,” o mulundudi wazula o háyi yê.
9 Mukusuluka, Bowaji wambela o tufunga ni mundu woso: “Lelu enu mu jimbangi, kwila, ngamusumba kwa Nowemi yoso yatokalele kwa Elimeleke ni yoso yatokalele kwa Kidiyone ni kwa Mahalone.
10 Kyenyiki, ni Lute mukwa Mowabe, wexile muhatu wa Mahalone, wanda kala kya muhat’wami, phala kubheka dingi o dijina dya difundu ku undundu wê, phala o dijina dyê kidijimuke bhukaxi ka jiphange jê ni bhu mwelu wa mbanza. Lelu enu mu jimbangi.”
11 Mukiki, o mundu woso ni tufunga twexile bhu mwelu wa mbanza, ambe: “Tu jimbangi mwene! Jihova abhangese o muhatu wanda bokona mu inzo yé, kusokela ni Lakele ni Leya, akolesele o mwiji wa Izalayele.” Kemba mu Efalata, bhanga dijina dyambote mu Beleme.
12 O mona wanda kubhana Jihova bhukaxi ka muhatu yú, abhangese o dibhata dyé kusoka ni dibhata dya Peleji, mon’a Judá, a muvwala ni Tamale.”
13 Kyenyiki, Bowaji wakazala ni Lute. Mwene wazeka-nê, Jihova anga u mubhangesa kwimita, yu wavwala mon’a diyala.
14 Ahatu anga ambela Nowemi: “Jihova atane-ku, mukonda mu kizuwa kya lelu wa kubhana mulundudi. O dijina dyê a diximane mu Izalayele.
15 Mwene* wazediwisa o mwenyu wé, wanda kulangidila mu ukukilu wé. Mukonda, mon’a mukaji a mon’é* wa kuzolo, mwene wa kukala kota o sambwadi dya ana ndenge.”
16 Nowemi anga ukwata o mona, u mwondeleka, wenda ni ku mulanga.*
17 Kyenyiki, o ahatu a dizukama-nê a muluku dijina. Ene ambe: “Nowemi a muvwalela mon’a diyala, a muluku Obede. Mwéne tata ya Jesé, tata ya Davidi.
18 Yú wene o mwiji wa Peleji: Peleji uvwala Hezelone;
19 Hezelone uvwala Lame; Lame uvwala Aminadabe;
20 Aminadabe uvwala Nasono; Nasono uvwala Salumone;
21 Salumone uvwala Bowaji, Bowaji uvwala Obede;
22 Obede uvwala Jesé; Jesé uvwala Davidi.
