Wayesethi uNawomi uninazala kuye: “Ndodakazi yami, angiyikukufunela ukuphumula ukuba kube kuhle kuwe na? Manje uBhowazi akayena owesizukulwane sethu, okabani izintombi zakho? Bheka, uzuza ibhali kulobubusuku esibuyeni. Geza, uzigcobe, wembathe izingubo zakho, wehlele phansi; kepha ungazazisi kulowo muntu, aze aqede ukudla nokuphuza. Lapho elala, kumelwe uyiphawule indawo ezolala kuyo, ungene uyembule izinyawo zayo ulale; futhi uzokutshela okufanele ukwenze. Wathi kuye: “Konke ongitshela khona ngiyakukwenza.” Wehlela phansi, wenza njengalokho uninazala emyalile. UBhowazi esedlile waphuza, inhliziyo yakhe yathokoza, walala ekupheleni kwenqwaba; weza ngobumnene, wavula izinyawo zakhe, walala phansi. Kwathi phakathi kwamabili indoda yethuka, yaphenduka, bheka, kwakulele owesifazane ngasezinyaweni zayo. Wathi: “Ungubani na?” Wathi: “Ngiyincekukazi yakho uRuthe; wendlala ingubo yakho phezu kwencekukazi yakho; ngoba uyisihlobo esiseduze. Wathi: “Mawubusiswe nguJehova, ndodakazi yami, ngokuba wenze umusa omkhulu ekugcineni kunasekuqaleni, ngokuba awulandelanga izinsizwa, ezimpofu nezicebile. Manje, ndodakazi yami, ungesabi; Ngizokwenza kuwe noma yini oyicelayo, ngoba wonke umuzi wabantu bakithi uyazi ukuthi ungowesifazane oqotho. Manje kuyiqiniso ukuthi ngiyisihlobo sakho segazi esiseduze nawe; kodwa kukhona isihlobo esiseduze kunami. Hlala ngalobu busuku; kuyakuthi ekuseni, uma ekwenzela isihlobo, kuhle; makenze ingxenye yesithukulu; kepha uma engenzi isabelo somhlengi kuwe, ngiyakwenza isabelo somhlengi kuwe, kuphila kukaJehova; lala kuze kuse. Walala ngasezinyaweni zakhe kwaze kwaba sekuseni, wavuka ngaphambi kokuba omunye azi omunye. Wathi: “Makungaziwa ukuthi owesifazane ufikile phansi.” Wathi futhi: Letha iveli olalo phezu kwakho, ulibambe. Lapho elubamba, walinganisa izilinganiso eziyisithupha zebhali, wambeka phezu kwakhe; wangena emzini. Esefikile kuninazala, wathi: “Ungubani, ndodakazi yami na?” Wamtshela konke indoda eyayimenze yona. Wathi: “Lezi zilinganiso eziyisithupha zebhali unginikile; ngoba wathi kimi: Ungayi kunyokozala ulambatha. Wathi: “Hlala uthule, ndodakazi yami, uze wazi ukuthi indaba izohamba kanjani; ngoba indoda ngeke iphumule ingakayiqedi indaba namuhla.
URuthe 3:1-18 IsiZulu 2020 (ZUL20)
UNawomi, uninazala kaRuthi, wathi kuye: “Ndodakazi yami, ngingakufuneli yini umuzi ukuze konke kukuhambele kahle, na? UBhowazi lona obusebenza nezincekukazi zakhe akayiso yini isihlobo sethu esisondele, na? Bheka, namuhla kusihlwa uyokwela ibhali esibuyeni. Geza, uziqhole ngamakha, ugqoke kahle bese wehla uye esibuyeni. Ungaqale uziveze kuye engakaqedi ukudla nokuphuza. Ubombheka ukuthi uzolala kuphi, bese uya lapho, ufike uphakamise ingubo ezinyaweni zakhe uzishutheke, yena-ke uyokutshela ukuthi wenzeni.” URuthi waphendula wathi: “Konke lokho okushoyo ngizokwenza.” Wayesehla waya esibuyeni, wafike wenza njengalokhu uninazala emyalile. UBhowazi wadla, waphuza, wenama, wayesehla eyolala ngasekugcineni kwenqwaba yebhali. URuthi wanyonyoba wembula ingubo ezinyaweni zikaBhowazi, walala lapho. Kuthe phakathi kwamabili uBhowazi waphaphama. Mamo! Nangu owesifazane elele ezinyaweni zakhe! Wambuza wathi: “Ungubani wena, na?” Waphendula wathi: “NginguRuthi, incekukazi yakho. Ake welule ichopho lengubo yakho ungifukamele, ngokuba ungumhlengi.” Waphendula wathi: “USimakade makakubusise, ndodakazi yami. Ekugcineni ukhombise ukwethembeka okukhulu kunasekuqaleni; awuzange ugijimele ezinsizweni ezicebile noma ezimpofu. Manje ndodakazi yami, ungesabi, konke okucelayo ngizokwenzela khona. Ngokuba bonke abantu bakithi bayazi ukuthi ungowesifazane onesimilo. Impela kuliqiniso ukuthi ngiyisihlobo sakho, kodwa kukhona omunye umhlengi oseduze kakhulu kunami. Okwanamuhla kulobu busuku ungalala, kuzothi ekuseni ngikhulume naye. Uma engathandi ukukuhlenga kulungile, mina ngizokuhlenga. Ngiyakwethembisa phambi kukaSimakade; lala kuze kuse.” URuthi walala lapho ngasezinyaweni zikaBhowazi kwaze kwasa, wavuka kusemnyama kungakabonakali lutho. UBhowazi wathi: “Angifuni kwazi muntu ukuthi kuke kwafika owesifazane lapha esibuyeni.” UBhowazi wayesethi kuye: “Letha leli bhayi obulembethe, ulendlale lapha.” Ngempela uRuthi wenza kanjalo. UBhowazi wathela kulo ibhali elinesisindo esicishe sibe ngama-efa amabili, wamethwesa lona. URuthi wathwala leso sijumbana, wenyukela ekhaya naso. Wathi uma efika ekhaya uninazala wambuza wathi: “Uhambe kanjani ndodakazi yami, na?” URuthi wamtshela konke okwakwenzekile nayekushilo uBhowazi. Waqhubeka uRuthi wathi: “Uthe: ‘Awuzukubuyela emuva kunyokozala ungaphethe lutho,’ wayesengipha nanti ibhali elicishe libe ngama-efa amabili.” UNawomi wayesethi: “Hlala nje ndodakazi yami ulinde, uze ubone ukuthi lolu daba luphetha kanjani. Nakanjani ngeke behle ubuthongo kuBhowazi engaluphethile lolu daba.”

UNawomi uninazala wathi kuye: “Ndodakazi yami, angiyikukufunela ukuphumula ukuba kube kuhle kuwe na? Angithi uBowazi owawunamantombazana akhe uyisihlobo sethu na? Bheka, uyela ibhali* kusihlwa esibuyeni. Ngakho-ke geza, ugcobe, ugqoke isambatho sakho, wehlele esibuyeni, kepha ungazazisi kulowo muntu, aze aqede ukudla nokuphuza. Kuyakuthi nxa eselala, uqaphele indawo ayakulala kuyo, ungene, wambule izinyawo zakhe, ulale; uyakukutshela lokhu oyakukwenza.” Wathi kuye: “Konke okushoyo ngiyakukwenza.” Wehlela esibuyeni, wenza njengakho konke amyale ngakho uninazala. UBowazi wadla waphuza, inhliziyo yakhe yathokoza, waya ukulala ngasekugcineni kwenqwaba yamabele; wafika kahle, wambula izinyawo zakhe, walala. Kwathi phakathi kwamabili yethuka leyo ndoda, yaphenduka; bheka, kwakulele owesifazane ngasezinyaweni zayo. Yathi: “Ungubani?” Wathi: “NginguRuthe incekukazi yakho; yembesa incekukazi yakho umphetho wengubo yakho, ngokuba ungumhlengi.” Yathi: “Mawubusiswe nguJehova, ndodakazi yami; ubonakalisile umusa ekugcineni kakhulu kunasekuqaleni, ngokuba awulandelanga izinsizwa, noma zimpofu noma zicebile. Manje, ndodakazi yami, ungesabi; ngiyakukwenzela konke okushoyo, ngokuba wonke umuzi wabantu bakithi uyazi ukuthi ungowesifazane olungileyo. Yebo, kuqinisile ukuthi ngingumhlengi, kepha kukhona umhlengi omkhulu kunami. Hlala lobu busuku; kuyakuthi ekuseni, uma ekuhlenga, kulungile, makakuhlenge; kepha uma engathandi ukukuhlenga, mina ngiyakukuhlenga, kuphila kukaJehova; lala kuze kuse.” Walala ngasezinyaweni zakhe kwaze kwasa, wavuka bengakazani. Ngokuba yathi: “Makungaziwa ukuthi owesifazane wafika esibuyeni.” Yayisithi: “Letha ingubo ephezu kwakho, uyibambe.” Wayibamba, yalinganisa kasithupha ibhali,* yamthwesa lona, wangena emzini. Wafika kuninazala; wathi yena: “Ungubani, ndodakazi yami?” Wamtshela konke leyo ndoda ebimenzele khona. Wathi: “Ingiphile lezi zilinganiso eziyisithupha zebhali,* ngokuba yathi kimi: ‘Ungayi kunyokozala ungaphethe lutho.’ ” Wathi: “Hlala, ndodakazi yami, uze wazi ukuba le ndaba iyakuphethelaphi, ngokuba leyo ndoda ayiyikuphumula ingakaqedi indaba namuhla.”
