UNawomi nomndeni wakhe bahamba bayohlala kwaMowabi ngoba kwakungekho ukudla okwanele ezweni lakwaJuda. Kusenjalo umyeni kaNawoni wafa. Amadodana kaNawomi ashada abesifazane bakwaMowabi ababebizwa ngoOrpa noRuthe. Bamnakekela uNawomi iminyaka eyishumi.
Abayeni ba-Orpa noRuthe bafa. Manje laba besifazane base besele bodwa. UNawomi wayengakwazi ukupha uRuthe no-Orpa ukudla.
U-Orpa wabuyela ekhaya. Kodwa uRuthe wayefuna ukuhlala anakekele uNawomi. URuthe noNawomi bezwa ukuthi izwe lakwaJuda lase linezitshalo futhi, ngakho-ke baya khona.
URuthe noNawomi bafika ezweni lakwaJuda ngesikhathi sokuvuna. Babedinga ukudla. Isihlobo sikaNawomi esasibizwa ngoBowazi sasinamasimu ezweni lakwaJuda. Sadedela uRuthe ukuba athathe imifino eyayisasele emasimini aso. Kwakungumsebenzi onzima.
UBowazi wayemhlonipha uRuthe ngoba wayesebenza kanzima futhi ngoba wayethembekile kuNawomi naseNkosini. Watshela izinceku zakhe ukuba zishiyele uRuthe eminye imifino emasimini.
UNawomi wayefuna uRuthe abe nomndeni. Wamkhuthaza uRuthe ukuba agane uBowazi. URuthe wayazi ukuthi uma yena noBowazi babengashada, bayokwazi ukunakekela uNawomi ndawonye.
URuthe wanquma ukucela uBowazi ukuba amshade. UBowazi wayazi ukuthi uRuthe wayengowesifazane othembekile futhi onesimilo esihle Wavuma.
URuthe noBowazi bashada. Masinyane uRuthe waba nomntwana womfana. Waba ngumkhulu kaDavide, inkosi yangomuso. Eminyakeni eminingi eyalandela, uJesu Kristu wazalwa emndenini waloluzalo.
