1Ngexesha labagwebi kwabakho indlala ehlabathini. Yahamba indoda yaseBhetelehem yakwaYuda, yaya ezweni lakwaMowabhi, yona nomkayo, noonyana bayo ababini.

2Igama lale ndoda lalinguElimeleki, igama lomkayo lalinguNahomi, amagama oonyana bayo babengooMahalon noKiliyon bakumaEfrata aseBhetelehem yakwaYuda. Bafika ke elizweni lakwaMowabhi, bema khona.

3Wafa uElimeleki indoda kaNahomi; wasala noonyana bakhe bobabini.

4Bazeka abafazi kubafazi bakwaMowabhi; igama lomnye belinguOrpa, igama lomnye belinguRute; bahlala khona iminyaka emalunga neshumi.

5Bafa kananjalo bobabini ooMalon noKiliyon; Wasala loo mfazi noonyana bakhe bobabini nendoda yakhe.

6Wagqiba ngoomolokazana bakhe ukubuya ezweni lakwaMowabhi; ngenxa yokuba wayevile kwilizwe lakwaMowabhi ukuba uYehova ubavelele abantu bakhe ngokubanika isonka.

7Waphuma kuloo ndawo abekuyo, enoomolokazana bakhe bobabini; yaye bagqiba kwelokuba babuyele kwilizwe lakwaYuda.

8Wathi uNahomi koomolokazana bakhe bobabini, Buyani, aye elowo endlwini yonina; uYehova makanenzele okulungileyo nina, njengoko nenze ngako kum nakwabafileyo.

9Ngamana uYehova anganinika ukuphumla, ngamnye endlwini yendoda yakhe. Waza wabanga; Baliphakamisa ilizwi labo, balila.

10Bathi kuye, Hayi, siya kubuyela nawe kubantu bakowenu.

11Wathi uNahomi, Buyani, zintombi zam; nihamba nam na? Basekho oonyana esizalweni sam, ukuba babe ngamadoda enu?

12Phakani, zintombi zam, nihambe; ngokuba sendikwaluphalele ukuba nendoda. Ukuba ndithe, Ndisenethemba, nokuba ndithe ndaba ngoyindoda ngobu busuku, ndabuya ndazala oonyana;

13Ngaba ubuya kubalinda bade bakhule? ungathanda ukuba namadoda? hayi, zintombi zam; kuba ndibuhlungu kakhulu ngenxa yenu kuba isandla sikaYehova siphume nxamnye nam.

14Bawaphakamisa amazwi abo, babuya balila, uOrpa wamanga uninazala; kodwa uRute wamsindisa.

15Wathi, Yabona, umolokazana wakho ubuyele kubantu bakowabo nakoothixo bakowabo; buyela emva komolokazana wakho.

16Wathi uRute, Musa akundibongoza ukuba ndikushiye, ndibuye ndikulandele; ngokuba ndiya kuya apho uya khona; apho uhlala khona, ndiya kuhlala khona; Abantu bakowenu baya kuba ngabantu bam, noThixo wakho abe nguThixo wam.

17Ndiya kufela apho ufela khona, ndingcwatyelwe khona; Uya kwenjenjalo kum uYehova, nangakumbi, logama nje ukufa kusahlula kuni.

18Wathi akubona ukuba uzimisele ukuhamba naye, wayeka ukuthetha kuye.

19Bahamba ke bobabini, bada bafika eBhetelehem. Bakufika eBhetelehem, isixeko sonke saxokozela, sisithi, NguNahomi na lo?

20Wathi kubo, Musani ukuthi ndinguNahomi; yithini ndinguMara, ngokuba undenze ububi kunene uSomandla.

21Ndaphuma ndizele, yaye uYehova wandibuyisa ndilambatha; Yini na ukuba nithi ndinguNahomi, ekubeni uYehova endingqinele, anditshutshise uSomandla?

22Wabuya uNahomi enoRute umMowabhikazi, umolokazana wakhe, ekubuyeni kwakhe evela ezweni lakwaMowabhi; bafika eBhetelehem ekuqaleni kokuvunwa kwerhasi.
