Iya kaiwae Naomi na oyawanyiye thɨ vivatha na thɨ roiteta Mowab. 7 Weiyaŋgiya oyawanyiyema theunyiwoma, Naomi i iteta ghembama va thɨ yakumawe, i reŋa e kamwathɨma iya i wa na ve raŋgima Judiya.
8 Ko iyemaeŋge e kamwathɨ mborowae, amba Naomi i dage weŋgiya oyawanyiyema iŋa, “Ghemi themiunyiwona hu njogha e ghambamina na hu yaku weimiyaŋgiya lemi bodaboda. Ya naŋgo weya Loi na ne ghare weŋga ŋgoreiya ghemi va gharemi weŋgo na weŋgiya thiyema vama thɨ marema. 9 Na tembe ya naŋgo weva Giya Loi na ne i vakathaŋga tembe hu lagheva na hu yaku weimiyaŋgiya lemi ghɨmoghɨmoru.”
Naomi i mwanambiyeŋgi e ghareghare na i mwaewoŋgi. Weinji lenji gharevɨrɨ thɨ randa na ghalɨŋanji laghɨye 10 na thɨŋa, “Thava ŋgoreiyana! Weime eŋge ghen na ra wa weŋgiya len bodaboda.”
11 Ko iyemaeŋge Naomi i gonjogha weŋgi iŋa, “Oyawanyiŋgu, mbema i thovuye moli vara hu njogha. Buda kaiwae nuwamiya weiŋguyaŋgiya ghemi? Ne valɨkaiwae tembe ya ghambɨŋgiva ghɨmoghɨmoru, thɨ thegha matuwo na tembe hu vaŋguŋgiva? 12 Mbema hu njogha eŋge, oyawanyiŋgu. Kaero yalaghɨsarɨ moliya ghino na ma valɨkaiwaŋgu tembe ya gheva.

Kaiwae Lo Giya Loi kaero i roghereiye wanaŋgo na vuyowoke iyake i laghɨye moli weŋgo.”
14 Iyake i vakathaŋgi na mbowo thɨ randava. Amba Opa i mwanavatha yawanyiye e ghareghare na i ghawole, ko iyemaeŋge Rut i thovuvu Naomi.
15 Naomi i dagewa Rut iŋa, “Wo u thuwe, len ghaghe kaero i njogha weŋgiya le bodaboda na weŋgiya le loi i kururu weŋgi. Ghen tembe ŋgoreiyeva, u njogha wein.”
16 Ko iyemaeŋge Rut i gonjoghawe iŋa, “Thava u vavothaŋaŋgo na ya roiteteŋge. Mbema u vatomwe eŋge na weiŋgu ghen. Ne the valɨvaŋga u wawe, ya wawe, na ne the valɨvaŋga vo yakuwe, va yakuwe. Len gharɨgharɨ lo gharɨgharɨ, na len Loi lo Loi. 17 The valɨvaŋga vo marewe ne va marewe na thɨ bekuŋgowe. Giya Loi le lithɨ laghɨye moli e ghino thoŋgo ya roiteteŋge; ko mbe mare eŋge vara ne i vakathainda ra meghaghathɨ.” 18 Mbaŋa Naomi i thuwa Rut le vothako, ma tembe i rovurɨghegheva e variye njoghawe.
19 Elaelama theunyiwoma kaero vethɨ loloŋgaova ghaghad vethɨ vutha Betɨlehem. Mbaŋa thɨ vutha, gharɨgharɨ gharenji iyo kaiwanji na wanakau thɨŋa, “Mbema emunjora Naomi iya elaghɨniyeko?”
20 I dage weŋgi iŋa, “Thava hu uno idaŋgu Naomi, huŋa eŋge ‘Mara,’‡ kaiwae Loi Vurɨvurɨghegheniye i vakatha yawaliŋgu ghamɨnae mbema maŋga eŋge. 21 Va ya roitetake lo bigibigi veimaima, ko iyemaeŋge Giya Loi i vaŋgunjoghaŋgo kokowaŋgu. Buda kaiwae hu uno idaŋgu Warawarariniye, na mbaŋake Loi Vurɨvurɨghegheniye kaero i roghereiye wanaŋgo na ya vaidiya vuyowae!”
22 Iyake i woraŋgiya va ŋgoroŋga na Naomi i roiteta Mowab na i njogha Betɨlehem weiye Rut tɨnan Mowab. E mbaŋako iyako bali uloulo amba i wora eŋge rɨghe.
