Rute 4

14 Nā, ka mea ngā wāhine ki a Naomi, "Kia whakapaingia a Ihowā, kīhai nei i waiho i a koe i tēnei rā kia hapa i tētahi whanaunga tata; kia rangona anō tōna ingoa i roto i a Īharaira. 15 Māna hoki tōu wairua e whakahoki ake, ko ia hoki hei atawhai mō tōu rūruhitanga; he whānau hoki ia nā tāu hunaonga e aroha nei ki a koe, he nui kē nei tōna pai ki a koe i tō ngā tama tokowhitu."

16 Nā, ka tango a Naomi i taua tamaiti, ā, whakatakotoria ana ki tōna uma, ā, ko ia hei kaihikihiki mōna. 17 Nā, huaina ana he ingoa mōna e ngā wāhine e noho tata ana; i mea rātou, "Kua whānau tētahi tamaiti mā Naomi." Nā, huaina ana e rātou tōna ingoa ko Ōpere. Ko te pāpā tēnei o Hehe, pāpā o Rāwiri.
