2 Tsiku lina Rute mkazi wachimowabu uja anapempha Naomi kuti: “Chonde ndiloleni ndipite kuminda ndikakunkhe+ balere m’mbuyo mwa aliyense amene angandikomere mtima.” Ndipo Naomi anamuyankha kuti: “Pita mwana wanga.”

3 Koma poyankha Davide analumbira+ kuti: “Bambo ako ayenera kuti akudziwa ndithu kuti iweyo umandikonda.+ Pa chifukwa chimenechi iwo adzanena kuti, ‘Musamuuze zimenezi Yonatani kuti zingamupweteketse mtima.’ Moti ndikunenetsa, pali Yehova Mulungu wamoyo,+ komanso pali moyo wako,+ imfa ili pafupi kwambiri ndi ine!”+

8 Ngati mungandikomere mtima mfumu+ ndipo ngati zingakukomereni kuchita zimene ndapempha n’kundipatsa zimene ndikufuna, inu mfumu ndi Hamani mubwere kuphwando limene ndidzakukonzerani mawa. Ndipo mawa ndidzanena pempho langa monga mmene inu mfumu mwanenera.”+
