Ruthe o a iketa
1Jwale Naomi, matsala Ruthe, a re ho Ruthe: “Ngwanaka, ke tshwanetse ho o batlela lehae, o tle o dule o iketlile. 2Ha ke re Boase, eo o kileng wa sebetsa le makgabunyane a hae, ke seng le rona? Bona, bosiung bona o tla be a olosa harese seotlong. 3Ka baka leo, itlhatswe, o itlotse, mme o apare hantle, ebe o theohela seotlong. O se ke wa ba wa itsebisa yena ho fihlela ha a qetile ho ja le ho nwa. 4E tle ere ha a itokisetsa ho robala, o hlokomele hantle moo a tla robala teng, o ye teng, o kwaholle maoto a hae, o bothe moo. Yena o tla o bolella seo o tla se etsa.”
5Ruthe a re ho matsalae: “Ke tla etsa tsohle tseo o reng ke di etse.”
6Yaba Ruthe o theohela seotlong, mme a etsa tsohle tseo matsalae a mo laetseng tsona. 7Ha Boase a se a jele, a nwele, mme a thabile, a ya ithoballa pela setha sa harese. Ruthe a ya ho yena ka lenyele, a kwaholla maoto a hae, a botha pela wona.
8Hara mpa ya bosiu Boase a phofa, a fetoha, mme a bona mosadi a bothile maotong a hae. 9Boase a re: “O mang?”
Ruthe a araba, a re: “Ke nna Ruthe, lekgabunyane la hao; apesa lekgabunyane la hao ka kobo ya hao, hobane rona le wena re a tswalana.”
10Boase a re: “Morena a ke a o hlohonolofatse, ngwanaka, hobane seo o se entseng hona jwale se setle ho feta seo o se entseng pele. Ha o a ka wa matha kamora bahlankana, leha e le ba futsanehileng kapa ba ruileng. 11Se tshabe, ngwanaka, ke tla o etsetsa tsohle tseo o di kopang, hobane batho bohle ba motse wa heso ba a tseba hore o mosadi ya kgabane. 12Ke nnete, ke tswalana le wena, empa ho na le e mong ya haufi le wena, empa ho na le e mong ya haufi le wena ka tswalano ho mpheta. 13Robala mona bosiung bona; haeba hosasane a rata ho phetha tshwanelo ya hae ho wena, e tla ba ho lokile. Empa ha a sa rate ho etsa jwalo, ka Modimo ya phelang, nna ke tla etsa jwalo. Phomola mona ho fihlela hosasane.”
14Ruthe a botha pela maoto a Boase ho fihlela hosasane. Ruthe a tsoha e sa le hoseng, ho eso bonahale hantle, hobane Boase o ne a re: “Ho se be motho ya ka tsebang hore mosadi o kile a tla seotlong mona.”
15Boase a re ho Ruthe: “Hlobola kobo ya hao, o e ale mona.” Ruthe a e ala, mme Boase a tshela harese e ka bang boima ba dikilo tse mashome a mabedi. A mo rwesa yona, mme Ruthe a ya motseng.
16Ha Ruthe a fihla hae, matsalae a mmotsa, a re: “Ho bile jwang, ngwanaka?”
Ruthe a mmolella seo monna eo a mo etseditseng sona, 17a re: “Monna eo o mphile harese e ka etsang boima ba dikilo tse mashome a mabedi, a ba a re ho nna: ‘O se ke wa kgutlela ho matsalao o itlhophere.’ ”
18Yaba Naomi o re: “Ako mamelle, ngwanaka, o bone hore na ho tla ba jwang. Boase a ke ke a phomola moyeng ho fihlela taba ena e loka hona kajeno.”
