2.1 Bethlehe cha viachha O tahpa cha taraw ta a chhôh liata pahrapazy ama chakâh

Ryureihtuhpazy daihti liata Bethlehe liata chakâhna thata a tlô. Chavata Elimeleka chhôhkha chhao niedo yna su Moaba rah lâ ama paih haw. Elimelka lapinô cha Naomi cha ta, cha cha “Thapha” tahna a cha. Moaba rah liata Elimeleka nata a sawchapaw pa 2 zy cha thi ha ei ta, Naomi nata a myunô pa 2 deita ama y haw.

Bethlehe liata y taraw ei ta, niepa nata dopa ativy vei ei; ama thapha thei leipa ta ama hrona chhao akha ama tah ngasa.
