Ruti 4:1-22
4 Bowazi* wuyenda nati va muelu wu divula ayi wukala vana. Ayi bo kamona mvukisi beni katubila, Bowazi wuntela: “Kingandi yisa kala avava.” Nandi wuyenda ayi wukala.
2 Bosi Bowazi wutumisa kumi di bakulutu ba divula, ayi wu bakamba: “Lemvukanu, kalanu avava.” Bawu bakala.
3 Bowazi wukamba kuidi mvukisi beni: “Noemi, no wufumini ku thandu yi Moabi, kafueti sumbisa nsitu wuba wu Elimeleki khomb’itu.
4 Yibe mona ti didi diambu dimboti ku kuzabikisa mawu, ‘Sumba wawu vantuala batu bankalanga ku divula adidi ayi vantuala bakulutu ba divula ditu. Boti ngie wunkuiza sumba wawu buna sumba. Vayi boti wisinkuiza sumba ko, buna khamba muingi yizaba, kibila ngie lutidi nsua wu kusumba wawu kena minu.’” Mvukisi beni wumvutudila: “Minu yidi wukubama muingi kusumba wawu.”
5 Bosi Bowazi wutuba: “Kilumbu wala sumba nsitu beni kuidi Noemi, fueti sumba mvandi wawu kuidi Ruti musi Moabi, wubedi nkazi wu Malom, muingi dizina diandi dibika zimbala mu kiuka kiandi.”
6 Mu kibila akiokio, mvukisi beni wutuba: “Minu yilendi sumba ko wawu, muingi yibika bifisa kiuka kiami. Sumba kuaku wawu va mvingi’ami.”
7 Muingi kumonisa ti mutu widi nsua wu kuvukisa voti wu kutambula kiuka kuidi mutu wunkaka, basi Isaeli baba vangilanga mawu mu phila ayiyi: Vaba tombuluanga mutu kuvula zisandali ayi kuvana ziawu kuidi mutu wunkaka. Ayoyo yawu phila baba kindisilanga luwawanu baba vanganga na mutu wunkaka.
8 Diawu, bo kakamba Bowazi, “sumba kuaku wawu,” mvukisi wuvula zisandali.
9 Bosi Bowazi wukamba kuidi bakulutu ba divula ayi kuidi dikabu dioso: “Bubu benu boso luidi mu kuta kimbangi ti yidi mu kusumba kuidi Noemi biuma bioso Elimeleki, Kiliom ayi Malom babika.
10 Mu phila ayoyo, Ruti no wuba nkazi wu Malom weka nkazi’ami, muingi yibutila Malom muana, ayi muingi dizina diandi dibika zimbala mu kiuka kiandi ayi ditatamana va khati zikhomba ziandi ayi ku divula. Bubu benu luidi mu kuta kimbangi mu mawu.”
11 Batu boso baba va muelu divula ayi bakulutu, batuba: “Befu tunta kimbangi! Bika Yave kasadisa nkazi wunkota ku nzo’aku kaba dedi mueka na Rakeli ayi Leya batu bakindisa nzo yi Isaeli. Bika ngie wubutana ku Efrata ayi bika wuba wuzabakana ku Betelemi.
12 Ayi mu nkuna Yave kankuiza kuvana mu nzila nkietu awowo, bika dikanda diaku diba dedi mueka na dikanda di Peres, muana wu Tamali ayi Yuda.”
13 Mu phila ayoyo, Ruti wuyiza ba nkazi wu Bowazi. Bowazi wubundana yandi nyitu ayi mu lusalusu lu Yave, Ruti wubuta muana wu dibakala.
14 Bosi bakietu ba divula bakamba Noemi: “Bika Yave no wusadisidi muingi ba kuvukisa, kazitusu. Ayi bika dizina diandi diba dizabakana ku Isaeli!
15 Ntekulu’aku be kukindisa ayi wunkuiza kuvana mbombolo mu bununu buaku, kibila nandi widi muana wu kikuekizi kiaku wu kuzolanga beni, ayi muana awowo lutidi na sambuadi di bana.”
16 Noemi wubonga muana, wuntula mu khata ayi nandi wuyiza ba ndezi yi muana beni.
17 Bosi batu va kizunga beni, batuba: “Bama butila Noemi muana,” ayi bamvana dizina Obedi. Nandi wubuta Yese, ayi Yese nandi wubuta Davidi.
18 Awuwu wawu nkuna wu Peres: Peres wubuta Eziloni;
19 Eziloni wubuta Lamu; Lamu wubuta Aminadabi.
20 Aminadabi wubuta Nasoni; Nasoni wubuta Salmon.
21 Salmon wubuta Bowazi; Bowazi wubuta Obedi.
22 Obedi wubuta Yese ayi Yese wubuta Davidi.
