Uhambo lokuya kwaMowabi nokubuya
1Kwasekusithi emihleni yokubusa kwabahluleli, kwaba khona indlala elizweni; Indoda ethile yaseBetlehema Juda yahamba yagogobala ezweni lakwaMowabi, yona nomkayo namadodana akhe amabili.
2Igama lalowo muntu lalingu-Elimeleki, igama lomkakhe lalinguNawomi, namagama amadodana akhe amabili ayengoMagiloni noKiliyoni, ama-Efrata aseBetlehema Juda. Bafika ezweni lakwaMowabi, bahlala khona.
3Wafa u-Elimeleki, umyeni kaNawomi; wasala namadodana akhe amabili.
4Base bazithathela abafazi kwabesifazane bakwaMowabi; igama lomunye lalingu-Orpa, igama lomunye lalinguRuthe; bahlala khona cishe iminyaka eyishumi.
5OMahaloni noKiliyoni bafa bobabili; owesifazane wasala namadodana akhe amabili nomyeni wakhe.
6Wayeseqeda omalokazana bakhe ukubuya ezweni lakwaMowabi; ngokuba wezwa esezweni lakwaMowabi ukuthi uJehova uhambele abantu bakhe ngokubapha isinkwa.
7Wayesephuma endaweni lapho ayekhona, omalokazana bakhe ababili kanye naye; basuka babuyela ezweni lakwaJuda.
8UNawomi wathi komalokazana bakhe ababili: “Hambani nibuyele, kube yilowo nalowo endlini kanina; iNkosi inibonise okuhle, njengalokho nenza kwabafileyo nakimi.
9UJehova uyaninika ukuba nithole ukuphumula, kube yilowo nalowo endlini yendoda yakhe. Wabe esebanga; badazuluka bakhala.
10Bathi kuye: “Impela siyakubuyela nawe kubantu bakini.”
11Wathi uNawomi: “Buyelani, madodakazi ami, niyakuhamba nami ngani na?” Asekhona amadodana esizalweni sami ukuba abe ngabayeni benu na?
12Phendukani, madodakazi ami, nihambe; ngoba mina sengimdala kakhulu ukuthi ngingaba lendoda. Uma bengingathi: Nginethemba, uma nami ngingaba nendoda kulobu busuku, ngizale amadodana;
13Ubungahlala yini labo baze bakhule? ungakujabulela ukuba namadoda? Cha, madodakazi ami; ngoba kubuhlungu kakhulu kimi ngenxa yenu ukuthi isandla sikaJehova siphumele phezu kwami.
14Basebephakamisa izwi labo, bakhala futhi, u-Orpa wamanga uninazala; kodwa uRuthe wamgcina.
15Wathi: “Bheka, umnakwenu usebuyele kubantu bakubo nakonkulunkulu bakubo; buyela emuva ulandele umakoti wakho.
16URuthe wasesithi: Ungangincengi ukuthi ngikutshiye, ngibuye ngikulandele; ngokuba lapho uya khona, ngiyakuya khona nami; nalapho nilala khona, nami ngiyakulala khona; abantu bakini bayakuba ngabantu bami, noNkulunkulu wakho abe nguNkulunkulu wami.
17Lapho ufela khona, ngiyakufela khona nami, ngimbelwe khona; kanjalo uJehova uyakwenza kimi, futhi kube njalo, uma kuphela ukufa kusehlukanisa mina nawe.
18Lapho ebona ukuthi uzimisele ukuhamba naye, wayeka ukukhuluma naye.
19Base behamba bobabili baze bafika eBetlehema. Futhi lapho befika eBhetlehema, umuzi wonke waxokozela, wathi: Ingabe lo uNawomi?
20Wathi kubo: “Ningangibizi ngokuthi uNawomi; ngibizeni ngokuthi uMara, ngokuba uSomandla ungiphathe kumunyu kakhulu.”
21Ngaphuma ngigcwele, uJehova wangibuyisa ngize; ningibizelani ngokuthi nginguNawomi, lokhu uJehova efakaza ngami, nokuthi uSomandla ungicindezele na?
22Wayesebuya uNawomi, noRuthe wakwaMowabi, umalokazana wakhe, ababebuyile ezweni lakwaMowabi; bafika eBetlehema ekuqaleni kokuvunwa kwebhali.
