URuthe 4

¹UBhowazi wayesekhuphukela esangweni, wahlala khona; owathi kuye: O, onjalo! phambuka, uhlale lapha. Wasuka wahlala phansi.

²Wathatha amadoda ayishumi kumalunga omuzi, wathi: “Hlalani lapha.” Bahlala phansi.

³Wathi kuso isihlobo: “UNawomi owabuya ezweni lakwaMowabi, wathengisa ngesiqephu somhlaba esingesomfowethu u-Elimeleki.”

⁴Futhi ngicabange ukukwazisa ngokuthi: Sithenge phambi kwabakhileyo naphambi kwamalunga abantu bakithi. Uma ufuna ukuyidedela, yiyeke ihambe; kepha uma ungakuyeki, ngitshele, ukuze ngikwazi; futhi ngilandela wena. Wathi: “Ngiyakushiya.”

⁵UBhowazi wasesithi: Mhla uthenga isiqinti sensimu esandleni sikaNawomi, uzakusithenga lakuRuthe, owesifazana wakoMowabi, umkafileyo, ukuze uvuse ibizo lomufi efeni lakhe.

⁶Wayesethi umhlengi: “Angikwazi ukuzihlenga ngokwami, ukuze ngingalimazi ifa lami; uyangishiya ngedwa; ngoba angikwazi ukukuhlenga.

⁷Lena bekuyindlela kwa-Israyeli mayelana nensindiso nenguquko, ukuqinisa konke; umuntu wakhumula isicathulo sakhe, wasinika umakhelwane wakhe; kwaba ngubufakazi kwa-Israyeli.

⁸Ngakho inceku yathi kuBhowazi: Zithengele yona. Ngakho ukhumula isicathulo sakhe.

⁹UBhowazi wayesethi emadodeni amadala nakubantu bonke: “Ningofakazi namuhla bokuthi ngithenge konke okungokuka-Elimeleki nakho konke okungokukaKiliyoni nokukaMagiloni esandleni sikaNawomi.

¹⁰Futhi ngathenga uRuthe, umMowabi, umkaMagiloni, ukuba abe ngumkami, ukuze ngivuse igama lofileyo efeni lakhe, ukuze igama lofileyo linganqunywa phakathi kwabafowabo naphakathi kwabafowabo. Isango lendawo yakhe: ningofakazi namuhla.

¹¹Bonke abantu ababesesangweni namadoda amakhulu bathi: “Singofakazi.” UJehova makenze owesifazane ongene endlini yakho abe njengoRaheli nanjengoLeya abakha indlu yakwa-Israyeli bobabili; wenza kahle e-Efrati, waduma eBetlehema.

¹²Indlu yakho mayibe njengendlu kaPerezi uTamari amzalela uJuda, ngenzalo uJehova ayakukunika yona ngale ntombi.

¹³UBhowazi wayesemthatha uRuthe, waba ngumkakhe; lapho engena kuye, uJehova wamkhulelwa, wazala indodana.

¹⁴Abesifazane base bethi kuNawomi: “Makabongwe uJehova ongakushiyanga namuhla ungenasihlobo segazi, ukuze igama lakhe lidume kwa-Israyeli.

¹⁵Uzakuba ngumbuyisi wempilo yakho, lomondli ebudaleni bakho, ngoba umalokazana wakho okuthandayo, ongcono kuwe kulamadodana ayisikhombisa umzele.

¹⁶UNawomi wamthatha umfana, wambeka esifubeni sakhe, wamncelisa.

¹⁷Abesifazane abakhelene naye bametha igama, bathi: “Uzalelwa uNawomi indodana; baqamba igama layo ngokuthi u-Obede. Unguyise kaJese, uyise kaDavide.

¹⁸Lezi ziyizizukulwane zikaPheresi: uPheresi wazala uHezironi;

¹⁹UHezironi wazala uRamu, noRamu ka-Aminadaba,

²⁰U-Aminadaba wazala uNagisoni, noNagisoni kaSalimoni,

²¹USalimoni wazala uBhowazi, uBhowazi wazala u-Obede,

²²U-Obede wazala uJese noJese kuDavide.
