URuthe 1

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.
