1Boase a ya kgorong ya motse, a dula teng. Mong ka yena, eo Boase a ileng a bua ka yena, a fihla. Boase a re ho yena: “He monna, ako fapohele le kwano, o dule mona pela ka.” Eo a tla, a dula fatshe. 2Boase a bitsa baholo ba leshome ba motse oo, mme a re ho bona: “Dulang mona.” Yaba ba a dula. 3Jwale Boase a re ho monna ya tswalanang le yena: “Naomi ya kgutlileng naheng ya Moabe, o rekisa naha eo e neng e le ya ngwanabo rona, Elimeleke. 4Ke fumane ho le molemo hore ke o bolelle taba ena, ke re: ‘Reka naha eo moo setjhaba sa heso le baholo ba sona ba leng teng. Haeba o e lopolla, e lopolle; le teng ha o sa e lopolle, mpolelle, e le hore ke tsebe, hobane ha ho e mong ya ka e lopollang haese wena, kapa nna, hobane ke a o hlahlama.’ ”
Monna eo a re: “Ke tla e lopolla.”
5Empa Boase a tswela pele, a re: “Mohla o rekang naha ena ho Naomi, o tla e rekella le Ruthe wa Moabe, e leng mosadi wa mofu, e le hore o tsose lebitso la mofu naheng eo a e jeleng lefa.”
6Yaba eo mong ka yena o re: “Haeba ho tjena, nke ke ka e lopolla, esere ka senya lefa leo e leng la ka. Kaha nke ke ka e lopolla, wena itopollele yona.”
7Mehleng ya pele e ne e le moetlo wa Baiseraele, hore ditabeng tsa ho lopolla kapa tsa ho ananya, motho a role moqathatso wa hae, a o nee eo ba rekisetsanang le yena. Ona e ne e le wona mokgwa wa ho etsa bopaki ho Baiseraele. 8Ka baka leo, eo mong ka yena a re ho Boase: “Wena, ithekele yona.” Yaba o rola moqathatso wa hae.
9Boase a re ho baholo le ho setjhaba sohle: “Kajeno le dipaki tsa hore ke rekile ho Naomi tsohle tseo e neng e le tsa Elimeleke, le tsa Kilejone, le tsa Mahelone. 10Le bile le dipaki hore ke reka le Ruthe wa Moabe, mohlolohadi wa Mahelone, hore e be mosadi wa ka, ke tle ke tsose lebitso la mofu naheng eo a e jeleng lefa, e le hore lebitso la mofu le se ke la fela hara bana babo, le motseng wa habo.”
11Batho bohle ba neng ba le kgorong ya motse, ba re: “Re dipaki!”
Baholo ba re: “Morena a ke a etse hore mosadi enwa ya tla kena ka tlung ya hao, a ke a be jwaloka Ragele le Lea, ba neng ba tswalle Iseraele bana. O ke o atlehe Eferata, mme o tume Betlelehema. 12Bana bao Morena a tla o fa bona ka mosadi enwa, ba ke ba be jwaloka bana ba Perese, bao Tamare a neng a ba tswalle Juda.”

13Boase a nka Ruthe ya eba mosadi wa hae. Boase a kena dikobong tsa hae, Ruthe ya eba moimana, mme a tswala mora. 14Basadi ba re ho Naomi: “Kajeno ho bokwe Morena, ya sa kang a o tlohela o se na mojalefa. Moshanyana enwa a ke a tume naheng ya Iseraele. 15O tla o tshedisa, a o fepe dilemong tsa botsofadi ba hao. Ngwetsi ya hao e o rata haholo, mme e molemo ho wena ho feta bara ba supileng.” 16Naomi a sika lesea, mme ya eba yena mohodisi wa lona.
17Basadi ba ahisaneng le Naomi ba rea moshanyana lebitso, ba re: “Naomi o tswaletswe mora,” mme ba mo rea lebitso la Obede. Ke yena ntata Jese, ya tswetseng Davida.
