¹Zvino Naomi wakange ane hama yomurume wake, murume wakange ane simba nefuma, weimba yaErimereki, wainzi Bhowasi.

¹Oo Nimco waxaa ninkeedii qaraabo u ahaan jiray nin xoog badan oo xoolo leh oo reer Eliimeleg ah, oo magiciisana waxaa la odhan jiray Bocas.

²Rute muMoabhu akati kuna Naomi, Nditenderei ndiende kumunda, ndindounganidza hura dzezviyo shure kwaiye unondinzwira nyasha. Akati kwaari, Enda hako, mwana wangu.

²Markaasaa Ruud tii reer Moo'aab waxay Nimco ku tidhi, Bal i daa aan beerta tagee, oo kii iga raalli noqda, intaan raaco, aan hadhuudh ka soo xaabxaabee. Oo iyana waxay ku tidhi, Gabadhaydiiyey, tag.

³Iye akaenda, akandounganidza pamunda achitevera vacheki; akava neropa rakanaka kuti wakasvika pamunda waBhowasi weimba yaErimereki.

³Markaasay tagtay, oo markay timid, kuwii beerta gooynayay ayay dabadood beertii xaabxaabtay. Oo nasiibkeeduna waxaa weeye inay timaado beertii uu lahaa Bocas oo ahaa reer Eliimeleg.

⁴Zvino vonei, Bhowasi wakabva Bheterehemu, akati kuvacheki, Jehovha ave nemi. Ivo vakapindura, vakati kwaari, Jehovha akuropafadzeiwo.

⁴Oo bal eeg, Bocas baa wuxuu ka yimid Beytlaxam, oo wuxuu ku yidhi kuwii beerta gooynayay, Rabbigu ha idinla jiro. Oo iyana waxay ugu jawaabeen, Rabbigu ha ku barakeeyo.

⁵Bhowasi akati kumuranda wake wakange ari mutariri wavacheki, Musikana uyu ndowaaniko?

⁵Markaasaa Bocas wuxuu ku yidhi midiidinkiisii madaxda u ahaa kuwii beerta gooynayay, Gabadhanu waa ina ayo?

⁶Muranda, wakange ari mutariri wavacheki, akapindura akati, Ndiye musikana muMoabhu, wakadzoka naNaomi vachibva kunyika yaMoabhu,

⁶Markaasaa midiidinkii kuwii beerta gooynayay madaxda u ahaa wuxuu Bocas ugu jawaabay, Waa gabadhii reer Moo'aab ee Nimco kala soo noqotay waddankii reer Moo'aab.

⁷iye akati, Nditendereiwo ndiunganidze, ndinonge shure kwavacheki pakati pezvisote, naizvozvo akauya, akaswerapo kubva mangwanani kusvikira zvino, asi wakagara mumba nguva duku.

⁷Oo waxay igu tidhi, Waan ku baryayaaye aan beerta xaabxaabo, oo aan kuwa beerta gooynaya dabadood xidmooyinka wax ka dhex urursado. Taas aawadeed way timid, oo wax bay urursanaysay subaxdii ilaa haatan, in yar oo ay guriga ku maqnayd mooyaane.

⁸Ipapo Bhowasi akati kuna Rute, Chinzwa hako, mwanasikana wangu. Usandounganidza kunomumwe munda, uye usabva pano, asi urambire pano kuvasikana vangu.

⁸Markaasaa Bocas wuxuu Ruud ku yidhi, Sow maqli maysid, gabadhaydiiyey? Ha tegin oo ha xaabxaabin beer kale, oo halkanna ha sii dhaafin, laakiinse halkan gabdhahayga u dhow iska joog.

⁹Meso ako ngaarambe achitarira munda wavanocheka, newe uvatevere; ndakaraira majaya angu kuti varege kukutambudza. Kana ukanzwa nyota, enda hako kumidziyo, umwe mvura yakatekwa namajaya.

⁹Oo waxaad fiirisaa beerta ay gooynayaan, oo iyaga iska daba gal. Miyaanan ragga dhallinyarada ah ku amrin inaanay ku taaban? Oo markaad oontidna xagga weelasha tag oo ka soo cab biyaha ragga dhallinyarada ahu soo dhaamiyeen.

¹⁰Ipapo akawira pasi nechiso chake, akakotamira pasi, akati kwaari, Ndanzwirwa nyasha nemwi neiko, kuti muve nehanya neni, zvandiri mutorwa hangu?

¹⁰Markaasay wejiga u dhacday, oo dhulka ugu foororsatay, oo waxay isagii ku tidhi, Maxaad raalli iigu noqotay, oo aad ii garatay, anoo ah mid qalaad?

¹¹Bhowasi akapindura akati kwaari, Ndakaziviswa zvose zvawakaitira vamwene vako kubva pakufa komurume wako, kuti wakasiya baba vako namai vako nenyika kwawakaberekerwa, ukauya kuvanhu vawakanga usingazivi kare.

¹¹Markaasaa Bocas u jawaabay oo wuxuu ku yidhi, Dhammaan waa lay wada tusay, kulli wixii aad u samaysay soddohdaa ilaa markii ninkaagii dhintay, iyo sidii aad uga soo kacday aabbahaa iyo hooyadaa, iyo dalkii aad ku dhalatay, oo aad u timid dad aadan hadda ka hor aqoon.

¹²Jehovha ngaakuripire sezvawakabata, upiwe mubayiro wakakwana naJehovha Mwari waIsiraeri, wawakauya kuzovanda pasi pamapapiro ake.

¹²Haddaba Rabbigu shuqulkaaga ha kaaga abaal gudo, oo Rabbiga ah Ilaaha reer binu Israa'iil oo aad baalashiisa hoostooda magan gashay ha ku siiyo abaalgud dhan.

¹³Iye akati, Ndinzwirwe hangu nyasha nemi, ishe wangu, nekuti makandinyaradza, mukataura zvakanaka nomurandakadzi wenyu, kunyange ndisina kufanana nomumwe wavarandakadzi venyu.

¹³Kolkaasay tidhi, Sayidow, haddaba raalli iga ahow; waayo, waad i qalbi qaboojisay, oo si raxmad leh ayaad iila hadashay anigoo ah addoontaada, in kastoo aanan addoommahaaga ka mid ahayn.

¹⁴Nenguva yokudya Bhowasi akati kwaari, Uya pano, udye chingwa, usevere musuva wako muvhiniga. Iye akagara navacheki, ivo vakamugamuchidza zviyo zvakakangwa, akadya, akaguta, akasiya zvimwe.

¹⁴Oo wakhtigii qadada ayaa Bocas wuxuu ku yidhi, Kaalay halkan, oo kibista wax ka cun, oo cuntadaada ku qoyso khalka. Oo waxay dhinac fadhiisatay kuwii beerta gooynayay, oo waxay siiyeen hadhuudh la saloolay, oo way cuntay, wayna dheregtay, oo wax bayna hambaysay.

¹⁵Zvino wakati asimuka kuzounganidza zviyo, Bhowasi akaraira majaya ake, akati, Ngaaunganidze hake kunyange napakati pezvisote, musamudzivisa.

¹⁵Oo markay u kacday inay beerta soo xaabxaabto ayaa Bocas wuxuu ku amray raggiisii dhallinyarada ahaa, Xataa xidhmooyinka ha ka dhex xaabxaabto, oo hana canaananina.

¹⁶Mumuvhomorerewo dzimwe hura maune patsama, mudzisiye, aunganidze hake, musamutuka.

¹⁶Oo weliba xidhmooyinkana qaar uga soo siiba oo u daaya, ha xaabxaabtee, oo hana dagaalina.

¹⁷Naizvozvo akaunganidza pamunda kusvikira madekwana; akandopura zvaakaunganidza, zvikavavarira kusvika efa imwe yebhari.

¹⁷Sidaas daraaddeed waxay beertii xaabxaabaysay ilaa fiidkii, oo way tuntay wixii ay soo xaabxaabtay, oo waxay u noqotay in ku dhow eefaah shaciir ah.

¹⁸Akazvisimudza, ndokupinda muguta; vamwene vake vakaona zvaakanga aunganidza; akabudisawo zvakanga zvasara aguta hake, akavapawo.

¹⁸Markaasay kor u qaadatay oo magaaladii gashay; oo soddohdeedna way aragtay wixii ay soo xaabxaabtay; oo waxay u soo bixisay oo siisay wixii ay hambaysay markay dheregtay.

¹⁹Ipapo vamwene vake vakati kwaari, Wandounganidzepiko nhasi? Wandobata basa kupiko? Iye wakava nehanya newe ngaaropafadzwe.

¹⁹Markaasaa soddohdeed waxay ku tidhi, Xaggee baad maanta wax ka soo xaabxaabtay? Oo xaggee baad ka shaqaysay? Ha barakaysnaado kii ku gartay. Oo iyana waxay soddohdeed u sheegtay kii ay la shaqaysay, oo waxay ku tidhi, Ninkii aan maanta la shaqeeyey magiciisa waxaa la yidhaahdaa Bocas.

²⁰Naomi akati kumukadzi womwana wake, Ngaaropafadzwe naJehovha, iye usina kubvisa tsitsi dzake kuvapenyu navakafa. Naomi akati kwaari, Murume uyu ihama yedu yomumba, mumwe wavadzikunuri vedu.

²⁰Markaasaa Nimco waxay ku tidhi gabadhii ay soddohda u ahayd, Rabbigu ha barakeeyo kan aan roonaantiisa ka dayn kuwa nool iyo kuwa dhintayba. Oo Nimco waxay ku tidhi iyadii, Ninku waa noo dhow yahay oo waa xigaalkayo, oo waa qaraabadayada noo dhow midkood.

²¹Rute muMoabhu akati, hongu, wakati kwandiri, Unofanira kurambira kumajaya angu, kusvikira vapedza kukohwa zvose zvangu.

²¹Markaasaa Ruud tii reer Moo'aab waxay tidhi, Oo weliba wuxuu igu yidhi, Waa inaad la joogtaa raggayga dhallinyarada ah ilaa ay dhammeeyaan beertayda ay gooynayaan.

²²Naomi akati kuna Rute, mukadzi womwana wake, Zvakanaka mwana wangu, kuti uende navasikana vake, urege kuonekwa kune mumwe munda.

²²Markaasaa Nimco waxay ku tidhi gabadhii Ruud oo ay soddohda u ahayd, Gabadhaydiiyey, waa wanaagsan tahay inaad gabdhihiisa raacdid oo aan lagugula kulmin beer kaleto.Sidaas daraaddeed waxay la sii joogtay gabdhihii Bocas inay xaabxaabto beerta ilaa gooyntii shaciirka iyo gooyntii sarreenkuba dhammaadeen, oo waxayna la degganayd soddohdeed.

²³Naizvozvo akarambira kuvasikana vaBhowasi, akaunganidza kusvikira pakupera kokuchekwa kwebhari nokuchekwa kwezviyo; akagara navamwene vake.

²³Sidaas daraaddeed waxay la sii joogtay gabdhihii Bocas inay xaabxaabto beerta ilaa gooyntii shaciirka iyo gooyntii sarreenkuba dhammaadeen, oo waxayna la degganayd soddohdeed.
