2 Va dikanda di Elimeleki no wuba nnuni wu Noemi, vaba dibakala dimueka wuba busina baba tedilanga Bowazi.
2 Ruti musi Moabi wukamba Noemi: “Lemvuka, mbika ye nonga mbongu mu tsola yi mutu wunkuiza mbona kiadi.” Diawu Noemi kankambila: “Yenda, muan’ami.”
3 Bosi nandi wuyenda ayi wutona kunonga mbongu mu kuelandakananga batu bankongulanga mbongu. Mukhambu zaba, nandi wuye vitila mu tsola yi Bowazi, no wuba musi dikanda di Elimeleki.
4 Muna thangu beni, Bowazi wuvitila ku tsol’andi, ayi wukamba bisadi biandi: “Bika Yave kaba yinu.” Ayi bisadi biandi bamvutudila: “Bika Yave kakusakumuna.”
5 Bowazi wuyuvula fumu bisadi biandi: “Nkietu awowo widi musi dikanda di nani?”
6 Fumu bisadi wumvutudila: “Nandi widi musi Moabi wuyizidi na Noemi ku thandu yi Moabi.
7 Nandi bekhuvula: “Yilenda nonga mbongu yo batu bankongula mbongu badi mu kubika kumbusa?’ Ayi meni kabe tona kusala, bosi kuandi kama kuenda va muanzu muingi kuvunda mua nkadu.”
8 Bosi Bowazi wukamba Ruti: “Yuwa muan’ami, bika kubue kuenda ku tsola yinkaka muingi kunonga mbongu. Ba va kimueka na bisadi biama bi bakietu.
9 Tsikika thalu mu yoso kua tsola bawu bankuenda, ayi wuba landakana. Yibe vana nsua kuidi bisadi biama muingi babika ku kutatisa. Ngie kuba phuila yi nlangu, yenda vadi bibasa bi nlangu, muingi wunua nlangu va kimueka na bisadi biama.”
10 Ruti wufukama vantual’andi ayi wunyuvula: “Buidi yibe bakila lunungu va mesu maku, ayi kibila mbi ngie fumu bephuila nkinza, kheti mu kuzaba ti minu yidi nzenza?”
11 Bowazi wumvutudila: “Bakhembi mamoso wuvangila kikuekizi kiaku, bo kafuilu nnuni, ayi ti ngie wubikidi tat’aku, mam’aku, ayi ntoto wu dikanda diaku muingi wiza kala na dikabu dio wukhambu zaba.
12 Bika Yave kakusakumuna mu mambu moso wumvanga, ayi bika Yave Nzambi yi Isaeli no bekuiza tombila lukiebu ku tsi mavavi mandi, kakuvana mfutu wufuana.”
13 Bosi Ruti wutuba: “Bika yibaka lunungu va mesu maku mfumu’ama, kibila ngie mambomba ayi makolukila yama mu phila yima khindisa, kheti minu yisi ko kisadi kiaku.”
14 Bo thangu yi kudia yifuana, Bowazi wukamba Ruti: “Yiza dia dipha ayi buika kitini kiaku mu vinu.” Bosi Ruti wukala va kimueka na batu baba kongula mbongu, ayi Bowazi wumvana zitheti zikangu. Nandi wudia ayi wuyukuta, ayi binkaka bisobila.
15 Bo Ruti katelama muingi kue nonga mbongu, Bowazi wukamba bisadi biandi: “Bikanu nandi kanonga mbongu luidi mu kuzenga, ayi bikanu kuntula nkaku.
16 Mvandi, bikanu mua mbongu lube kanga mu minko, muingi nandi kanonga, ayi ni mutu kantula nkaku.”
17 Mu phila ayoyo, Ruti wutatamana kunonga mbongu nati buisi buyila. Bosi nandi wuteba yawu ayi wubaka efa* yimueka yi cevada.
18 Bosi Ruti wunanguna mbongu kanonga ayi wukota ku divula. Kikuekizi kiandi wumona mbongu yoso kanonga. Ruti mvandi wunata bidia bisobila mu thangu badia, ayi wuvana biawu kuidi kikuekizi kiandi.
19 Kikuekizi kiandi wunyuvula: “Kuidi be kuenongina mbongu bubu? Kuidi besadila? Bika mutu be kumona kiadi katambula lusakumunu.” Mu phila ayoyo, Ruti wukamba kikuekizi kiandi matedi mutu vuidi tsola kabe sadila, mu kutuba: “Dizina di mutu vuidi tsola yibe sadila bubu didi Bowazi.”
20 Bosi Noemi wukamba kikuekizi kiandi: “Bika Yave no bekhambu zimbakana befu bamonyo ayi bafua, mu kutumonisa luzolo lukuikama, kansakumuna.” Ayi nandi wubue tuba: “Dibakala beni widi musi dikanda ditu, ayi nandi widi wumueka mu batu badi nsua wu kutukula.”
21 Bosi Ruti musi Moabi wutuba: “Nandi mvandi bekhamba: ‘Ba va kimueka na bisadi biama nati bala manisa kukongula mbongu’ama.’”
22 Mu phila ayoyo, Noemi wukamba kikuekizi kiandi Ruti: “Muan’ami, bulutidi kutatamana kulandakana bisadi biandi bi bakietu, kena kukuenda ku tsola yinkaka ko balenda kutula nkaku.”
23 Mu phila ayoyo, Ruti wutatamana kuba va kimueka na bisadi bi bakietu bi Bowazi, ayi wunonga mbongu nati bamanisa kukongula mbongu yi cevada ayi trigu. Ayi nandi wutatamana kukala na kikuekizi kiandi.
