Rute 2 FHB Father's Heart Bible™

2 ¹Naomi anali ndi m'bale wa mwamuna wake, munthu wotchuka ndi wachuma, wa fuko la Elimeleki, dzina lake Boazi. ²Rute Mmoabu anati kwa Naomi, “Ndiloleni ndipite kukakunkha tirigu kumbuyo kwa aliyense amene adzandikomera mtima.” Iye anati, “Pita, mwana wanga.”

³Ndipo iye anatuluka, nakakunkha kumbuyo kwa okolola, ndipo mwamwayi anafika kumunda wa Boazi, wa fuko la Elimeleki.

⁴Pomwepo Boazi anafika kuchokera ku Betelehemu, nati kwa okolola, “Atate wathu akhale ndi inu.” Iwo anayankha nati, “Atate wathu akudalitseni.”

⁵Ndipo Boazi anati kwa kapitawo wake woyang'anira okolola, “Mtsikana uyu ndi wa yani?”

⁶Kapitawo anayankha nati, “Ndi mtsikana wa Chimoabu amene anabwera ndi Naomi kuchokera kudziko la Moabu. ⁷Iye anati, ‘Chonde ndiloleni ndikunkhe ndi kusonkhanitsa pakati pa mitolo kumbuyo kwa okolola.’ Anabwera, nakhalabe kuyambira m'mawa mpaka tsopano, napuma pang'ono m'nyumba.”

⁸Boazi anati kwa Rute, “Tamvera, mwana wanga. Usakakunkhe m'munda wina kapena kuchoka pano; khala pafupi ndi atsikana anga. ⁹Uziyang'ana munda umene akukolola, ndipo uwatsatire kumbuyo kwawo. Ndawalamula anyamata kuti asakukhudze. Ukamva ludzu, umwe m'mitsuko imene anyamata anadzaza.”

¹⁰Iye anawerama nkugwada pansi chafufumimba, namufunsa, “Nchifukwa chiyani ndapeza chisomo pamaso panu, kuti mundilabadire ine mlendo?”

¹¹Boazi anayankha nati, “Ndamva zonse zimene unachitira apongozi ako chimene mwamuna wako anamwalira—mmene unasiyira atate ako, amayi ako, ndi dziko lako, kudzafika kwa anthu amene sunawadziwe kale. ¹²Atate wathu akubwezere ntchito yako; Atate wathu, Mulungu wa Israeli, amene unabwera kudzabisala pansi pa mapiko ake, akupatse mphotho yokwanira.”

¹³Iye anati, “Ndipeze chisomo pamaso panu, mbuye wanga, chifukwa mwanditonthoza ndi kundiyankhula mokoma kwa mdzakazi wanu, ngakhale sindine mmodzi wa adzakazi anu.”

¹⁴Pa nthawi ya chakudya Boazi anati, “Bwera kuno, idya buledi, nuviike kadutu kako mu vinyo wosasa.” Iye anakhala pansi pafupi ndi okolola; Boazi anampatsa tirigu wokazinga. Anadya nakhuta, ndipo zina zinamtsalira.

¹⁵Pamene anayimirira kuti akakunkhe, Boazi analamula anyamata ake nati, “Mulekeni akunkhe ngakhale pakati pa mitolo; musamuchititse manyazi. ¹⁶Mmalomwake, muzimthulira mapesi m'mitolo, nuwasiye kuti iye atole, ndipo musamudzudzule.”

¹⁷Iye anakunkha m'munda mpaka madzulo, kenaka nawomba chomwe anakunkha—pafupifupi malita makumi awiri a barele. ¹⁸Iye ananyamula kupita nacho kumudzi; apongozi ake anaona kuchuluka kwa zimene anakunkha. Anatulutsanso nampatsa zimene anasunga atakhuta.

¹⁹Apongozi ake anamufunsa, “Lero unakunkha kuti? Unagwira ntchito kuti? Adalitsike munthu amene anakulabadira iwe!” Rute anawulula mwini wa munda umene anagwira ntchito, nati, “Munthu amene ndinagwira naye ntchito lero ndi Boazi.”

²⁰Naomi anati kwa mpongozi wake, “Atate wathu amdalitse, amene chifundo chake sichinasiye amoyo kapena akufa.” Iye anawonjezera nati, “Iye ndi m'bale wathu wapafupi, mmodzi wa oombola athu.” ^a a v20 Naomi akutchula Boazi monga mmodzi wa oombola a m'banja lawo—m'bale amene anali ndi ufulu wowombolanso zotayika ndi kubwezeretsa banja. Udindo wa Boazi pano ukuyimira Yesu, Mwombozi wathu, amene akupereka mtengo kuti atibwezere kwathu kwa Atate wathu.

²¹Ndipo Rute Mmoabu anati, “Iye anandiwuza kuti, ‘Ukhale ndi antchito anga mpaka atamaliza kukolola konse kwanga.’”

²²Naomi anati kwa mpongozi wake Rute, “Nchabwino, mwana wanga—pita ndi atsikana ake, kuti usadzavutitsidwe m'munda wina.” ²³Iye anakhala pafupi ndi atsikana a Boazi, akukunkha mpaka kukolola kwa barele ndi tirigu kunatha, ndipo anakhala ndi apongozi ake.
