9 Tala kalolo mbalo yabakuete kuumbula muifuba, na wende nabo. Ne mulungule bafubi bande balume bua’shi tabakukumanga.* Su bopusha nyota, wende ku malondo a mema otome mema abadi batape kui bafubi bande balume.”
10 Paapa Luuta bakunamine, aye nkukupila mpala paashi na nkumulungula’shi: “Buakinyi ondesha kalolo, buakinyi bombekieela aku namu ne muenyi?”
11 Boaze nkumualuula’shi: “Mbandungule bioso biodi mukitshine nyinobe mueno kunyima kua lufu lua mulume oobe, na biodi mulekie nshobe na nyinobe na kuleka eumbo di bakuenu bua kuenda kui muilo osh’oukanga kumpala.
12 Yehowa akufute bua biabia biodi mukite, na opete efuto* dipuidikie kui Yehowa Efile Mukulu a Isalele, aye obofiki mu kufuamina muushi mua mbaba yaye.”
13 Paapa Luuta bamulunguile’shi: “Nkuminyibue namu nobe nfumuami, muanda bonsamba na buesamba na mufubi oobe mu mushindo aumunyingisha eshimba, sunga bi’ekala’shi ntshi umune a ku bafubi bobe.”
14 Pa nsaa ya kudia, Boaze bamulunguile’shi: “Esesele kuno odie mukate, na osabikie kipese kiobe mu vinegre.” Paapa bashalele ku lupese lua baumbudi. Boaze bamutambikile ndambo ya ntete ikangie, na aye nkudia nkuikuta, nkulama mpa na ingi ndambo ibashadile.
15 Pabebuele bua kuenda mu kupumbuula, Boaze balunguile bafubi baye balume’shi: “Mulekieleyi apumbuule mpa na miepu* itshibe, tanumukitshinanga bi bubi nya.
16 Abitungu numukakile miepu ku bisaasa bianudi bapue kuanya, nuiyilekie kunyima kuenu bua’shi afikie asangule, na tanuakulanga muanda su ngumune wi ku muimika.”
17 Biabia batungunukile na kuumbula muifuba mpa na ku kiolua. Pabaadi mupuule bioso bibaadi mupumbuule, bibatukile bungi bui pepi na kipimo kimune kia efa* a ntete ya orje.

19 Paapa nyinaye mueno bamuipuishe’shi: “A lelo opumbulanga kui kunyi? Lelo ofubilanga kui kunyi? Yawa bakulesha kalolo eedibue miabi.” Paapa aye nkulungula nyinaye mueno pabitale kuekalanga mukafubile, amba’shi: “Eshina dia yawa muntu sh’efuba muanyikeele mufube nyi Boaze.”
20 Paapa Naomi balunguile mukashi a muana aaye’shi: “Yehowa aye shi mulekie kulesha kifulo kiaye kia lulamato kui abatala na bafue amuelele miabi.” Naomi batungunukile na kuamba’shi: “Yawa muntu nga mu kifuko kietu. Ngumune a ku bakuudi* betu.”
