1Nthawi yomweyo Bowazi anapita ku chipata cha mzinda ndi kukhala pansi kumeneko pabwalo losonkhanira. Tsono anangoona wachibale woyenera kulowa chokolo uja akufika. Ndipo Bowazi anati, “Patukirani kuno, bwenzi langa. Mubwere mudzakhale apa.” Choncho anapatuka nakakhala pansi.
2Bowazi anayitananso akuluakulu khumi a mu mzindamo nati, “Dzakhaleni pansi apa,” ndipo anadzakhala pansi.
3Kenaka anamuwuza oyenera kulowa chokolo uja kuti, “Naomi amene wabwera kuchoka ku Mowabu akugulitsa malo amene anali a malemu Elimeleki, mʼbale wathu uja. 4Choncho ndinaganiza zokuwuza zimenezi kuti ugule mundawu pamaso pa anthu amene ali panowa, ndi pamaso pa akuluakulu mwa abale athu. Ngati ukufuna kuwuwombola, uwombole. Koma ngati sukufuna, undiwuze kuti ndidziwe, pakuti palibe wina angawuwombole koma iweyo, ndipo pambuyo pa iwe pali ine.” Iye anati, “Ine ndidzawuwombola.”
5Tsono Bowazi anati, “Tsiku limene ukagule mundawo kwa Naomi, udzatenganso Rute Mmowabu, mkazi wamasiye uja, kuti dzina la malemu lisungike pa cholowa chake.”
6Pamenepo wachibaleyo anati, “Sindingathe kuwuwombola mundawu kuti ukhale wanga, kuopa kuti kutaya cholowa changa. Mugule ndinu. Ine sindingathe.”
7(Kale mu Israeli zinkatere ngati munthu afuna kuwombola kanthu kapena kusinthana kanthu ndi mnzake kuti chikhale chakechake. Iye ankavula nsapato imodzi namupatsa mnzakeyo. Imeneyo ndiyo inali njira yochitira umboni mu Israeli).
8Choncho wachibale uja atawuza Bowazi kuti, “Gulani ndinu mundawu.” Iye anavula nsapato yake namupatsa Bowazi.
9Ndipo Bowazi anawuza akuluakuluwo ndi anthu onse aja kuti, “Nonsenu ndinu mboni lero, kuti ine ndagula kwa Naomi zonse zimene zinali za malemu Elimeleki, zonse zimene zinali za malemu Kiliyoni ndiponso za malemu Maloni. 10Ndatenganso Rute Mmowabu uja mkazi wa malemu Maloni, kuti akhale mkazi wanga, kuti dzina la malemu Maloni lisungike pa cholowa chake, ndipo lisafafanizike pakati pa abale ake ngakhalenso mʼmudzi mwake. Nonsenu ndinu mboni lero lino.”
11Ndipo akuluakulu aja ndi anthu onse amene anali pa chipata anati, “Ife ndife mboni, ndipo Yehova amusandutsa mkazi amene akudzalowa mʼnyumba yakoyu kuti akhale ngati Rakele ndi Leya, amene anamanga banja la Israeli. Ukhale munthu wosasowa kanthu mu Efurata ndi munthu wotchuka mu Betelehemu. 12Ana amene Yehova adzakupatsa mwa mkaziyu adzamange banja lako kukhala la Perezi, amene Tamara anamubalira Yuda.”

14Ndipo amayi osiyanasiyana anati kwa Naomi. “Alemekezeke Yehova, amene lero lino sanakusiyeni nokha wopanda wachibale. Mwanayu dzina lake likhale lotchuka mu Israeli. 15Mwanayo adzakupatseni moyo watsopano ndi kukuthandizani pa ukalamba wanu. Inde, mpongozi wanu amene amakukondani, amenenso waonetsa kuti ali wopambana kwa inu kuposa ana aamuna asanu ndi awiri, ndiye wakubalirani mwanayu.”
16Kenaka Naomi anatenga mwanayo namufukata ndipo anakhala mlezi.
17Amayi achinansi ake anati, “Naomi ali ndi mwana wamwamuna.” Ndipo anamutcha dzina lake Obedi. Iye anali abambo a Yese abambo ake a Davide.
