1Wathi uNahomi uninazala kuye, Ntombi yam, ndingakufuneli na ukuphumla, uphumle?

2Ke kaloku uBhohazi akangowesizwe sakowethu; ubeneentombi zini na? Yabona, ngobu busuku uzuza irhasi esandeni.

3Zihlambe, uthambise, yambatha iingubo zakho, uhle; kodwa uze ungazazisi endodeni leyo, ide igqibe ukudla nokusela.

4Xa ithe yalala, yinyamekele indawo eya kulala kuyo, ungene, ugubungele iinyawo zayo, ulale; wokuxelela ke yena into omawuyenze.

5Wathi kuye, Yonke into ondixelela yona ndoyenza.

6Wehla ke, wenza njengoko abemwisele umthetho uninazala.

7Wakugqiba ukudla nokusela uBhohazi, yachwayitha intliziyo yakhe, walala ekupheleni kwesithungu; wayivula kakuhle imilenze yakhe, wamlalisa.

8Ezinzulwini zobusuku indoda yoyika, yajika, yabona umfazi elele ezinyaweni zakhe.

9Wathi, Ungubani na? Wathi, NdinguRute, umkhonzazana wakho; Yandlala ingubo yakho phezu komkhonzazana wakho; ngokuba ezalamana naye.

10Wathi, Makasikelelwe nguYehova, ntombi yam, ngenxa enokuba wayenzela imfesane yakho ekupheleni, ngaphezu kweyokuqala, ngenxa yokuba ungalandelanga madodana nje, nokuba ngasweleyo nokuba butyebi.

11Kaloku ke, ntombi yam, musa ukoyika; Ndiya kwenza nantoni na oyicelayo, kuba yonke idolophana yakowethu iyakwazi ukuba ungumfazi olungileyo.

12Kuyinyaniso oko, ukuba ndingumzalwana wakho; kodwa kukho isalamane esisondeleyo kum.

13Lala ngobu busuku; kothi kusasa, ukuba uthe wayenzela indlu le, kulungile; makadlale indima yomkrexezi; ke ukuba akathanga anesabelo kuwe, ndiya kubelana nawe ngesabelo ngeNkosi ephilileyo; lala kude kuse.

14Walala ezinyaweni zakhe kwada kwasa, wavuka engekamazi omnye. Athi: Akufunekanga yaziwe isizathu sokuba lomfazi eze enkundleni.

15Wabuya wathi, Sisondeze isigqubuthelo osigubungeleyo, sibambe; Wayibamba, walinganisa iiseha ezintandathu zerhasi, wamnika; waza wangena kuwo umzi.

16Wathi akufika kuninazala, wathi: “Ungubani na, ntombi yam? Wamxelela konke ekwenzileyo kuye loo ndoda.

17Wathi, Indinike ezi milinganiselo mithandathu yerhasi; ngokuba wathi kum, Musa ukuya kunyokozala wedwa.

18Wandula ke wathi: “Yithi cwaka, ntombi yam, ude wazi ukuba kuya kuphela njani oku; ngokuba akayi kuphumla loo mntu, ade ayigqibe loo nto namhla.
