Ruthe utfola umendvo

¹ Emvakwesikhatsi Nawomi, uninatala wakhe, wakhuluma kuRuthe watsi: “Ndvodzakati! Utsi kungete kwaba ncono kutsi ngikwakhele umuti?

² LoBowazi, lebewusebenta nemantfombatana akakhe, usihlobo sengati. Lalela la: Lamuhla Bowazi utawubhula kolo lapha ebaleni.

³ Ngako-ke geza, ugcoke kahle uphelele, ufake emakha, bese uyewuka uya lapho atawubhulela khona. Kodvwa ungacali umtjele kutsi ungubani asengakacedzi kudla nekunatsa.

⁴ Ubocaphelisisa kutsi utawulala kuphi, uye khona, ufike ugwabule ingubo ngasetinyaweni takhe, bese uyangena ulala eceleni kwato, utakutjela kutsi kufanele wenteni.”

⁵ Ruthe waphendvula watsi: “Konkhe loko lokushoko ngitakwenta.”

⁶ Ngako-ke Ruthe wewuka waya ebaleni lekubhulela kolo, wenta njengobe uninatala abemtjelile.

⁷ Ngesikhatsi Bowazi asadlile wanatsa, wativela ajabulile; ngako wahamba wayawulala eceleni kwencumbi yakolo. Ruthe wanyonyoba wasondzela kuBowazi, wafike wagwabula ingubo ngasetinyaweni takhe wangena, walala.

⁸ Ekhatsi nebusuku Bowazi watsi uyaphaphama wetfuka sekulele umuntfu lomsikati etinyaweni takhe.

⁹ Wambuta watsi: “Ungubani wena?” Wamphendvula watsi: “NginguRuthe, incekukati yakho, njengobe usihlobo sami sengati sengitetfula kuwe kutsi ungifukamele. Ngicela kutsi ungingene.”

¹⁰ Bowazi watsi: “Shangatsi Simakadze angakubusisa, ndvodzakati yami. Ukhombise inhlonipho lenkhulu kimi kunalena loyikhombisa unyokotala. Ngisho phela ngobe naku awukagijimeli kuyakwendza emadvodzeni lasemancane, lacebile nome laphuyile.

¹¹ Cha, ndvodzakati yami, ngitakwentela konkhe loko lokucelako, ngako ungesabi. Tonkhe takhamiti talesigodzi tiyati kutsi ungumfati sibili.

¹² Yebo, kuliciniso kutsi ngisihlobo sakho sengati, noko sikhona lesisedvute kakhulu kuwe kunami.

¹³ Sale ulala kwalamuhla. Kusasa ekuseni ngitawuvukela kuye ngalendzaba. Nangabe uyavuma kukungena, kutabe kulungile. Kodvwa nangabe akafuni, ngetsembisa phambi kwaSimakadze kutsi ngitakungena mine. Ngako lala kuze kuse.”

¹⁴ Ngako Ruthe walala ngasetinyaweni taBowazi kwaze kwasa, kodvwa washeshe wavuka kusemnyama. Phela Bowazi abengafuni kutsi kwatiwe kutsi kuke kwaba nalomsikati kulelo bala lekubhula.

¹⁵ Bowazi watsi kuye: “Khumula lelibhayi lolembetse uliletse la utekulendlala.” Ngako walikhumula, walendlala. Bowazi watsela kulo kolo labenesisindvo lesasingemakhilogremu labengaba ngemashumi lamabili, wametfwesa. Ruthe wancandzeka, wakhuphukela ekhaya edolobheni.

¹⁶ Watsi nakefika, uninatala wambuta watsi: “Uhambe njani, ndvodzakati yami?” Ruthe wamphendvula amtjela konkhe lokwakwentiwe nalokwakukhulunywe nguBowazi kuye.

¹⁷ Wachubeka Ruthe watsi: “Utsite: ‘Akukafaneli ubuyele kunyokotala ugoce tandla.’ Ngako ungiphe nangu kolo longemakhilogremu langaba ngema-20.”

¹⁸ Nawomi wamphendvula watsi: “Beketela, ndvodzakati, utawubona kutsi tintfo tihamba njani. Bowazi angeke asibeke sibunu sakhe phansi lamuhla angakayilungisi lendzaba.”
