2 Kwakele kabushoko ka munalume wa Naumi uje wafukile manene. Lizina lyendi Boazi. Wapwile wa ku naanga ya Elimeleki.
2 Ruthi wa kaMowabi walekele Naumi ngwendi: “Njitabese njiye mu mahya na kupupulula mbali munima ya woshe anjitetela.” Co Naumi wamulekele ngwendi: “Ya munange.”
3 Ngeci, waile mu mahya, co wakashangumukile kupupulula munima ya baka-kuteja. Mu kubezika, waile mu lihya lya Boazi uje wapwile wa ku naanga ya Elimeleki.
4 Co Boazi wetele kutunda ku Betelehema. Walekele baka-kuteja ngwendi: “Yehova akale neni.” Co bamukumbulwile ngwabo: “Yehova akubezikise.”
5 Boazi wehwile mukwenje uje wakele na kutwamenena baka-kuteja ngwendi: “Ou mumbanda atunda kuli?”
6 Uje Mukwenje wakumbulwile ngwendi: “Ou mumbanda napu kaMowabi, ikeye naija na Naumi kutunda ku lifuti lya Mowabi.
7 Nanjilombo ngwendi, ‘Njitabese njipupulule na kunonongola mbali ibanaseze baka-kuteja.’ Co kushwa mutondo katumamene kubanga hano bene asina ahwime kamandondo mu cipundo.”
8 Co Boazi walekele Ruthi ngwendi: “Tolilila munange, keti uye na kupupulula mu lihya lyeka. Keti uye kweka. Kabangeya aba bangamba bange ba bambanda.
9 Mesho obe atale ha lihya libateja mangana ubakabe. Njinashiki bakwenje ngwange keti bakukwate.* Nga uziba lihwila, ya ku binjaba bya mema mangana ukanwe mema abanatekula bakwenje.”
10 Co Ruthi watsikamene na kukulamena hasi na kwendeka ngwendi: “Bika binakulingisa unjitetele? Bika binakulingisa wake mbunge yange muka-kwija?”
11 Boazi wamukumbulwile ngwendi: “Njinazibi byuma byoshe biunalingila nyokomweno munima ya kutsa kwa munalume wobe nomu muunasezela baisho na banoko na lifuti lyeni na kwija kuno ku banu kuuzibuka.
12 Yehova akwane cikandelela mwafwa ya byuma biunalingi. Yehova Njambi ya Isalele akwane cikandelela cakama mwafwa unaija na kubanda mu mambaba endi.”
13 Ruthi wamukumbulwile ngwendi: “Njiwane kutetela kuli yobe mwata wange, mwafwa unanjizembeleka na kunjikanyamesa* na majwi obe, yange ngamba yobe nameme keti nji umo wa bangamba bobe.”
14 Ha simbu ya kulya, Boazi wasanene Ruthi ngwendi: “Ija kuno wakulyeko makende na kutanta mbazubwila ya likende lyobe mu vinega.” Co Ruthi watumamene kumukulo wa baka-kuteja, co Boazi wamwanene na binona bya kwoca. Walile, wakutile, co wasezeleko bimo.
15 Ruthi mwakatukile ngwendi akapupulule, Boazi washikile bakwenje ngwendi: “Mutabeseni apupulule na ha mikuta ya mbali, co keti mumwane cikela.
16 Co lalo mushomweneniko mbali imo ha mikuta imunalundika na kumusezelayo munima mangana apupulule, co keti mumubindike.”
17 Ruthi watwaleleleleho kupupulula muje mu lihya kweta na ku mangwezi. Co mwajungwile mbali yapupulwile, yashakele kweta ha efa.*
18 Wambatele mbali yapupulwile na kuya mu nganda, co wamwesele inamweno byapupulwile. Ruthi wambatele bije byakulya byasezeleho, wabyanene inamweno.
19 Co inamweno wamwihwile ngwendi: “Unakapupulwila kuli lelo? Kuli kuunakapangela? Woshe uje nakutetela abezike.” Ruthi walekele inamweno bya munalume kwakapangelele ngwendi: “Lelo njinakapangela mu lihya lya munalume wa lizina lya Boazi.”
20 Naumi walekele inamweno ngwendi: “Yehova uje natwalelelaho kumwesa cizemo cije kucesi kutenguluka kuli baje bali na kuyoya, na batsi, abezikise ou munalume.” Naumi wendekele lalo ngwendi: “Ou munalume wapwa kabushoko ketu. Napu umo wa baka-kutusokola.”*
21 Ruthi wa Kamowabi wendekele ngwendi: “Ou munalume nanjileke lalo ngwendi, ‘Kabangeya bangamba bange kweta noho habakamanesela kuteja mahya ange oshe.’”
22 Naumi walekele inamweno Ruthi ngwendi: “Munange, cacibwa kukabangeya bangamba bendi ba bambanda kutubakana bakakuyandesele mu lihya lyeka.”
23 Ngeci, Ruthi watwaleleleleho kukaba bangamba ba Boazi ba bambanda na kupupulula kweta noho hayahwililile simbu ya kuteja mbali na tiliku, co watwaleleleleho kukala na inamweno.
