¹Zvino Naomi, vamwene vake, akati kwaari, Mwanasikana wangu, handifaniri kukutsvakira zororo, kuti ufare here?

¹Oo markaasaa Nimco oo ahayd soddohdeed ayaa waxay ku tidhi, Gabadhaydiiyey, miyaanan nasasho kuu doonayn inay ku wanaagsanaato?

²Zvino Bhowasi, kwawakanga uri kuvasikana vake, haizi hama yedu here? Tarira iye ucharudza bhari madekwana ano paburiro.

²Haddaba sow Bocas oo ka mid ah xigaalkayaga ma joogo kaasoo aad addoommihiisii la joogtay? Bal eeg, caawa wuxuu shaciir ku haadinayaa meesha wax lagu tumo.

³Zvino chizvishambidza, uzore mafuta, ufuke nguvo dzako, ndokuburukira kuburiro, asi usazviratidza kumurume uyo, kusvikira apedza kudya nokumwa.

³Haddaba maydho, oo subko, oo dharkaagana xidho, oo waxaad tagtaa meesha wax lagu tumayo; laakiinse ninka ha istusin ilaa uu dhammaysto waxa uu cunayo oo cabbayo.

⁴Zvino kana iye achindovata, iwe unofanira kucherechedza paanondovata, ugoenda wondofukura tsoka dzake, wovatapo pasi; iye achakuudza zvauchafanira kuita.

⁴Oo markuu seexdo, meeshuu jiifsado fiirso, oo markaas u gal, oo cagihiisa bannee, oo iska jiifso, oo isna wuxuu kuu sheegi doonaa waxaad samayn lahayd.

⁵Akati kwaari, Zvose zvamunondiudza ndichazviita.

⁵Oo iyana waxay Nimco ku tidhi, Waxaad tidhi oo dhan waan yeeli doonaa.

⁶Ipapo akaburukira kuburiro, akandoita zvose zvaakanga arairwa navamwene vake.

⁶Markaasay tagtay meeshii wax lagu tumi jiray, oo waxay samaysay kulli wixii soddohdeed ku amartay.

⁷Zvino Bhowasi wakati apedza kudya nokumwa, moyo wake ukafara, akandovata pamucheto womurwi wezviyo; ipapo iye akanyatsosvika, akafukura tsoka dzake, ndokuvata pasi.

⁷Oo Bocasna markuu wax cunay oo wax cabbay qalbigiisu waa faraxsanaa, oo wuxuu aaday inuu jiifsado meel tuulmo hadhuudh ah ka dambaysa. Markaasay aayar u timid oo cagihiisii bannaysay, oo way jiifsatay.

⁸Pakati pousiku murume akavhunduka, akapinduka, onei mukadzi avete patsoka dzake.

⁸Oo habeenbadhkii ayaa ninkii argaggaxay, oo wuu isrogay, oo bal eeg, naag baa cagihiisa jiiftay.

⁹Akati, Ndiwe aniko? Akapindura akati, Ndini Rute, murandakadzi wenyu; fukidzai murandakadzi wenyu nenguvo yenyu, nekuti muri hama yomumba.

⁹Markaasuu ku yidhi, Tumaad tahay? Oo iyana waxay ugu jawaabtay, Waxaan ahay addoontaadii Ruud; haddaba macawistaada ku kor kala bixi addoontaada, waayo, waxaad tahay xigaal ii dhow.

¹⁰Ipapo iye akati, Uropafadzwe naJehovha, mwanasikana wangu, nekuti pakupedzisira wakaita nokunaka kupfuura pakutanga; nekuti hauna kutevera majaya, kunyange aiva varombo kana vafumi.

¹⁰Markaasuu wuxuu ku yidhi, Gabadhaydiiyey, Rabbigu ha ku barakeeyo, waayo, roonaan weyn baad i tustay ugu dambaystii, oo ka sii weyn tii markii hore, maxaa yeelay, ma aad raacin rag dhallinyaro ah, faqiir iyo taajir toona.

¹¹Zvino mwanasikana wangu, usatya hako; ndichakuitira zvose sezvaunotaura; nekuti vose veguta rangu vanoziva kuti uri mukadzi wakanaka kwazvo.

¹¹Haddaba, gabadhaydiiyey, ha cabsan; waayo, waan kuu samayn doonaa wixii aad sheegtay oo dhan, maxaa yeelay, dadka magaaladayda oo dhammu way wada og yihiin inaad tahay naag wanaagsan.

¹²Zvino zvirokwazvo kuti ini ndiri hama yomumba, asi kune imwe hama iri pedo kupfuura ini.

¹²Haddaba inaan anigu ahay xigaal kuu dhow waa run, habase yeeshee waxaa jira nin xigaal ah oo iiga kaa sii dhow.

¹³Vata hako usiku hwuno; zvino mangwana, kana iye achida kukuitira zvinofanira kuitwa nehama, ndizvo hazvo; ngaaite zvinofanira kuitwa nehama; asi kana asingadi kukuitira zvinofanira kuitwa nehama, ini ndichakuitira zvinofanira kuitwa nehama, ndinopika naJehovha mupenyu; chivata hako kusvikira mangwana.

¹³Haddaba bal caawa iska joog, oo subaxdana hadduu isagu kuu sameeyo waxa xigaalka waajibka ku ah waa hagaag, ha sameeyo, laakiinse haddaanu kuu yeelin waajibka xigaalka, de markaas Rabbiga noloshiisaan kuugu dhaartaye, anaa kuu samaynaya.

¹⁴Iye akavata patsoka dzake kusvikira mangwanani, akamuka vanhu vachigere kunatsoona. nekuti wakati, Ngazvirege kuzikamwa, kuti mukadzi wakauya paburiro.

¹⁴Oo iyana cagihiisay jiifsatay ilaa subaxdii, markaasay waxay kacday intaan qof qof kale laga garan karin. Waayo, wuxuu yidhi, Yaan la ogaanin in naagu timid meesha hadhuudhka lagu tumo.

¹⁵Akati, Uya nenguvo yawakafuka, uibate, akaibata, iye akayera zviyero zvitanhatu zvebhari, akamutakudza akapinda muguta.

¹⁵Oo wuxuu ku yidhi, Garbasaarta korkaaga saaran bal keen, oo hoori, kolkaasay hoorisay; markaasuu wuxuu ugu miisay lix koombo oo shaciir ah, wuuna u saaray; oo isna magaaladuu galay.

¹⁶Zvino wakati achisvika kuna vamwene vake, ivo vakati, Zvazodiniko mwana wangu? Akavaudza zvose zvaakanga aitirwa nomurume uya.

¹⁶Oo markay soddohdeed u timid, Nimco waxay ku tidhi, Gabadhaydiiyey, tumaad tahay? Markaasay waxay u sheegtay wixii ninku u sameeyey oo dhan.

¹⁷Akati, Iye wandipa zviyero izvi zvitanhatu zvebhari, nekuti wakati, Usaenda kuna vamwene vako usina chinhu.

¹⁷Oo waxay tidhi, Lixdatan koombo oo shaciirka ah isagii baa i soo siiyey, waayo, wuxuu igu yidhi, Adoo faro madhan soddohdaa ha u tegin.Oo iyana markaasay tidhi, Gabadhaydiiyey, iska fadhiiso ilaa aad ogaatid sida arrintu u dhacayso, waayo, ninku nasan maayo ilaa uu maanta xaalkaas dhammeeyo.

¹⁸Zvino vakati, Chigara hako, mwana wangu, kusvikira waona mugumo weshoko iri, nekuti murume uyu haangazorori kusvikira apedza shoko iri nhasi.

¹⁸Oo iyana markaasay tidhi, Gabadhaydiiyey, iska fadhiiso ilaa aad ogaatid sida arrintu u dhacayso, waayo, ninku nasan maayo ilaa uu maanta xaalkaas dhammeeyo.
