Awo ne yesanga ng’atuuse mu nnimiro ya Bowaazi, ow’omu kika kya Erimereki.
42:4 a Bal 6:12; Luk 1:28; 2Bs 3:16 b Zab 129:7-8Mu kiseera kye kimu Bowaazi n’atuuka okuva e Besirekemu, n’agamba abakunguzi be nti, “Mukama Katonda abeere nammwe.”
Nabo ne bamuddamu nti, “Naawe Mukama Katonda akuwe omukisa.”
5Awo Bowaazi n’abuuza nampala wa bakunguzi be nti, “Omuwala ono w’ani?” 62:6 Lus 1:22N’amuddamu nti, “Ono ye muwala Omumowaabu eyajja ne Nawomi okuva e Mowaabu. 7Atwegayiridde alondelonde abakunguzi we bayise mu binywa, era asiibye akola okuva obw’enkya okutuusa essaawa eno, okuggyako akabanga akatono ke yawumuddemu.”
8Awo Bowaazi n’agamba Luusi nti, “Wuliriza, muwala ggwe. Togendanga n’olondanga mu nnimiro endala yonna, tovanga mu eno, naye obeeranga wamu nabaweereza bange abawala. 9Gendereranga ennimiro basajja bange mwe bamaze okukungula, era ogobererenga abawala. Abasajja mbalagidde obutakutawanya. Era ennyonta bw’ekulumanga, onywenga ku mazzi abasajja ge basenye.”
102:10 a 1Sa 25:23 b Zab 41:1 c Ma 15:3Awo Luusi bwe yawulira ebyo, n’avuunama ku ttaka, ng’agamba nti, “Ng’ondaze ekisa mu maaso go, n’onfaako nze, munnaggwanga.” 112:11 a Lus 1:14 b Lus 1:16-17Naye Bowaazi n’addamu nti, “By’okoledde nnyazaala wo kasookedde balo afa, ne bwe waleka kitaawo ne nnyoko era n’abantu bo n’ojja mu nsi ey’abantu botomanyi, babintegezezza byonna. 122:12 a 1Sa 24:19 b Zab 17:8; 36:7; 57:1; 61:4; 63:7; 91:4 c Lus 1:16Mukama Katonda wa Isirayiri gwe weeyuna wansi w’ebiwaawaatiro bye, akusasule olw’ebyo by’okoze, era akuwe empeera ennene ddala.”
13Awo Luusi n’addamu nti, “Nneeyongere okulaba ekisa mu maaso go mukama wange, kubanga oyogedde ebigambo ebyekisa eri omuweereza wo era emmeeme yange ogizizza mu nteeko wadde nga sigwanira kuba omu ku baweereza bo.”
142:14 nny 18Ekiseera ekyokulya bwe kyatuuka, Bowaazi n’agamba Luusi nti, “Jjangu okoze omugaati gwo mu wayini akatuuse2:14 Wayini akatuuse kyali kyakunywa ekitabuddwamu wayini akayirira n’omuzigo omutono..”
Awo Luusi bwe yatuula wansi, Bowaazi n’amuwa sayiri ensiike, n’alya, n’akkuta, n’emulemera nawo. 15Oluvannyuma ng’okulya kuwedde, n’agolokoka agende alonde, era Bowaazi n’alagira abaddu be nti, “Ne bw’anaalonda mu binywa temumugaana. 16Wakiri, mumuleke yerondere mu miganda so temumuwuuna.”
17Awo Luusi n’alonda mu nnimiro okutuuka akawungeezi, oluvannyuma n’awuula ne sayiri gye yali akuŋŋaanyizza, n’aweza nga kilo kkumi na ssatu. 182:18 nny 14Yonna n’agyetikka, n’agitwala mu kibuga, ne nnyazaala we n’agiraba. Era yamuleetera ne ku mmere gye yali afissizzaawo.
192:19 nny 10; Zab 41:1Nnyazaala we yasanyuka nnyo, era n’amubuuza nti, “Wakoze mu nnimiro y’ani leero? Aweebwe omukisa oyo akukwatiddwa ekisa!” Awo Luusi n’abuulira nnyazaala we nannyini nnimiro mwe yakoze, n’erinnya ly’omwami nga ye Bowaazi.
202:20 a Lus 3:10; 2Sa 2:5; Nge 17:17 b Lus 3:9, 12; 4:1, 14Nawomi namugamba nti, “Mukama Katonda atalekanga kulaga kisa eri abalamu n’abafu, amuwe omukisa. Anti omusajja oyo muganda waffe ddala, era y’omu ku banunuzi2:20 Omununuzi, ye yali muganda w’omugenzi ow’ennyumba ow’okumpi ennyo, era ye yali ateekwa okununula ettaka lyonna ery’omugenzi. Omununuzi yali ateekwa okuwasa nnamwandu, nnamwandu bwe yabanga tazadde baana (Ma 25:5-10) baffe ddala.”
21Luusi Omumowaabu n’ayongerako nti, “N’okuŋŋamba yaŋŋambye nti nkolere wamu n’abakozi be okutuusa lwe balimala eby’okukungula bye.”
22Awo Nawomi n’agamba Luusi muka mwana we nti, “Kijja kuba kirungi nnyo muwala wange, okubeeranga kumpi nabaweereza be abakazi, kubanga singa onoogenda mu nnimiro y’omulala akabi kayinza okukutuukako.”
232:23 Ma 16:9Awo Luusi n’abeeranga kumpi n’abaweereza ba Bowaazi ng’alonda okutuusa amakungula ga sayiri n’eŋŋaano bwe gaggwa, n’abeeranga wamu ne nnyazaala we.
1And Naomi had a kinsman of her husband’s, a mighty man of wealth, of the family of Elimelech; and his name was Boaz.2.1 Boaz: Gr. Booz 2And Ruth the Moabitess said unto Naomi, Let me now go to the field, and glean ears of corn after him in whose sight I shall find grace. And she said unto her, Go, my daughter. 3And she went, and came, and gleaned in the field after the reapers: and her hap was to light on a part of the field belonging unto Boaz, who was of the kindred of Elimelech.2.3 hap…: Heb. hap happened
4¶ And, behold, Boaz came from Beth-lehem, and said unto the reapers, The LORD be with you. And they answered him, The LORD bless thee. 5Then said Boaz unto his servant that was set over the reapers, Whose damsel is this? 6And the servant that was set over the reapers answered and said, It is the Moabitish damsel that came back with Naomi out of the country of Moab: 7And she said, I pray you, let me glean and gather after the reapers among the sheaves: so she came, and hath continued even from the morning until now, that she tarried a little in the house. 8Then said Boaz unto Ruth, Hearest thou not, my daughter? Go not to glean in another field, neither go from hence, but abide here fast by my maidens: 9Let thine eyes be on the field that they do reap, and go thou after them: have I not charged the young men that they shall not touch thee? and when thou art athirst, go unto the vessels, and drink of that which the young men have drawn. 10Then she fell on her face, and bowed herself to the ground, and said unto him, Why have I found grace in thine eyes, that thou shouldest take knowledge of me, seeing I am a stranger? 11And Boaz answered and said unto her, It hath fully been shewed me, all that thou hast done unto thy mother in law since the death of thine husband: and how thou hast left thy father and thy mother, and the land of thy nativity, and art come unto a people which thou knewest not heretofore. 12The LORD recompense thy work, and a full reward be given thee of the LORD God of Israel, under whose wings thou art come to trust. 13Then she said, Let me find favour in thy sight, my lord; for that thou hast comforted me, and for that thou hast spoken friendly unto thine handmaid, though I be not like unto one of thine handmaidens.2.13 Let me…: or, I find2.13 friendly: Heb. to the heart 14And Boaz said unto her, At mealtime come thou hither, and eat of the bread, and dip thy morsel in the vinegar. And she sat beside the reapers: and he reached her parched corn, and she did eat, and was sufficed, and left. 15And when she was risen up to glean, Boaz commanded his young men, saying, Let her glean even among the sheaves, and reproach her not:2.15 reproach…: Heb. shame her not 16And let fall also some of the handfuls of purpose for her, and leave them, that she may glean them, and rebuke her not.
17So she gleaned in the field until even, and beat out that she had gleaned: and it was about an ephah of barley.
18¶ And she took it up, and went into the city: and her mother in law saw what she had gleaned: and she brought forth, and gave to her that she had reserved after she was sufficed. 19And her mother in law said unto her, Where hast thou gleaned to day? and where wroughtest thou? blessed be he that did take knowledge of thee. And she shewed her mother in law with whom she had wrought, and said, The man’s name with whom I wrought to day is Boaz. 20And Naomi said unto her daughter in law, Blessed be he of the LORD, who hath not left off his kindness to the living and to the dead. And Naomi said unto her, The man is near of kin unto us, one of our next kinsmen.2.20 one of…: or, one that hath right to redeem 21And Ruth the Moabitess said, He said unto me also, Thou shalt keep fast by my young men, until they have ended all my harvest. 22And Naomi said unto Ruth her daughter in law, It is good, my daughter, that thou go out with his maidens, that they meet thee not in any other field.2.22 meet…: or, fall upon thee 23So she kept fast by the maidens of Boaz to glean unto the end of barley harvest and of wheat harvest; and dwelt with her mother in law.
