48 Ngati mlendo wokhala nanu akufuna kuchita nanu chikondwerero cha pasika kwa Yehova, mwamuna aliyense wa m’nyumba yake adulidwe.+ Akatero atha kuchita nawo chikondwererocho, ndipo ayenera kuonedwa ngati mbadwa ya dzikolo. Koma munthu wosadulidwa asadye nawo.

16 Ndiyeno Rute anati: “Musandichonderere kuti ndikusiyeni, kuti ndibwerere ndisakutsatireni, pakuti kumene inu mupite inenso ndipita komweko, kumene inu mugone inenso ndigona komweko.+ Anthu a mtundu wanu adzakhala anthu a mtundu wanga,+ ndipo Mulungu wanu adzakhala Mulungu wanga.+

3 Mlendo yemwe wadziphatika kwa Yehova asanene kuti,+ ‘Ndithu Yehova adzandilekanitsa ndi anthu ake.’+ Nayenso munthu wofulidwa+ asanene kuti, ‘Ine ndiye ndine mtengo wouma basi.’”
