URuthi 1:1-5

Ngezinsuku lapho kusaphethe abehluleli, kwaba khona indlala enkulu ezweni. Indoda ethile yaseBhethlehema kwaJuda nomkayo namadodana ayo amabili, basuka bayohlala kwaMowabi. Igama laleyo ndoda kwakungu-Elimelekhi, umkayo kunguNawomi, amadodana ayo amabili kunguMahaloni noKhiliyoni; babengama-Efratha aseBhethlehema kwaJuda. Bafika kwaMowabi bahlala khona. U-Elimelekhi, umyeni kaNawomi, wafela lapho; uNawomi wasala namadodana akhe amabili. Lawo madodana azithathela abafazi kwabesifazane bakwaMowabi, owokuqala kwakungu-Orpha owesibili kunguRuthi; bahlala nabo iminyaka ebalelwa eshumini. Bobabili oMahaloni noKhiliyoni bafa. UNawomi wayesefelwe ngumyeni wakhe namadodana akhe omabili.
