Ruth 3
1 One day Ruth’s mother-in-law Naomi said to her, “My daughter, should I not seek a resting place for you, that it may be well with you?
Dia hoy Naomy rafozani-vavy taminy: Tsy hitady izay tokan-trano hahitanao fiadanana va aho, anaka, mba hahasoa anao?
2 Now is not Boaz, with whose servant girls you have been working, a relative of ours? In fact, tonight he is winnowing barley on the threshing floor.
Ary ankehitriny tsy isan’ ny havantsika va Boaza, tompon’ ny ankizivavy izay niarahanao? Indro, mikororoka vary hordea eo am-pamoloana izy anio alina.
3 Therefore wash yourself, put on perfume, and wear your best clothes. Go down to the threshing floor, but do not let the man know you are there until he has finished eating and drinking.
Koa mandroa sy mihosora diloilo ary miakanjoa, dia midìna any am-pamoloana; nefa aza atao fanta-dralehilahy akory ianao, raha tsy efa avy nihinana sy nisotro izy.
4 When he lies down, note the place where he lies. Then go in and uncover his feet, and lie down, and he will explain to you what you should do.”
Ary rehefa mandry izy, dia fantaro izay andriany, ary midìra, ka songay ny lamba eo an-tongony, dia mandria eo ianao; ary holazainy aminao izay hataonao.
5 “I will do everything you say,” Ruth answered.
Dia hoy izy taminy: Eny, fa hataoko izay rehetra lazainao amiko.
6 So she went down to the threshing floor and did everything her mother-in-law had instructed her to do.
Dia nidina tany am-pamoloana izy ka nanao araka izay rehetra nandidian’ ny rafozani-vavy azy.
7 After Boaz had finished eating and drinking and was in good spirits, he went to lie down at the end of the heap of grain. Then Ruth went in secretly, uncovered his feet, and lay down.
Ary rehefa avy nihinana sy nisotro Boaza, ka faly ny fony, dia nandeha handry teo amin’ ny faran’ ny antontam-bary izy; fa nandeha nitsaitsaika kosa Rota, dia nanonga ny lamba teo an-tongony ka nandry teo.
8 At midnight, Boaz was startled, turned over, and there lying at his feet was a woman!
Ary nony namatonalina, dia taitra ralehilahy ka niarina hitsapa, ary, indro, nisy vehivavy nandry teo an-tongony.
9 “Who are you?” he asked. “I am your servant Ruth,” she replied. “Spread the corner of your garment over me, for you are a kinsman-redeemer.”
Dia hoy izy: Iza moa izato? Ary hoy kosa ravehivavy: Rota zatovovavinao aho; mba rakofy ny lambanao ny zatovovavinao, fa havana mahavotra ianao.
10 Then Boaz said, “May the LORD bless you, my daughter. You have shown more kindness now than before, because you have not run after the younger men, whether rich or poor.
Dia hoy izy: Hotahin’ i Jehovah anie ianao, anaka; efa nanao soa be lavitra tamin’ ny ato aoriana ianao noho ny tamin’ ny voalohany, noho ny tsy nanarahanao ny zatovo, na ny malahelo, na ny manan-karena.
11 And now do not be afraid, my daughter. I will do for you whatever you request, since all my fellow townspeople know that you are a woman of noble character.
Koa ankehitriny anaka, aza matahotra; hataoko aminao izay rehetra angatahinao; fa fantatr’ izay rehetra ao an-tanànan’ ny fireneko fa vehivavy tsara ianao.
12 Yes, it is true that I am a kinsman-redeemer, but there is a redeemer nearer than I.
Ary ankehitriny marina izany, fa havana mahavotra aho; nefa misy havana mahavotra akaiky kokoa noho izaho.
13 Stay here tonight, and in the morning, if he wants to redeem you, good. Let him redeem you. But if he does not want to redeem you, as surely as the LORD lives, I will. Now lie here until morning.”
Mitoera ihany atỳ anio alina, ary rehefa maraina, raha hitondra loloha anao izy, dia tsara izany, aoka izy no hitondra loloha anao; fa raha tàhiny kosa tsy hanao izany izy, dia ho entiko loloha ihany ianao, raha velona koa Jehovah, mitoera ihany atỳ mandra-pahamarain’ ny andro.
14 So she lay down at his feet until morning, but she got up before anyone else could recognize her. Then Boaz said, “Do not let it be known that a woman came to the threshing floor.”
Dia nandry teo an-tongony mandra-pahamarain’ ny andro Rota, ary nifoha, raha mbola maizimaizina, ilay mbola tsy ahitana tarehy iny. Fa hoy ralehilahy: Aza avela ho fantatr’ olona fa tatỳ am-pamoloana ravehivavy.
15 And he told her, “Bring the shawl you are wearing and hold it out.” When she did so, he shoveled six measures of barley into her shawl. Then he went into the city.
Dia hoy koa izy: Ento etỳ ny lamba itafianao, ka hazòny izy. Ary rehefa nataony izany, dia namatra vary hordea inenin’ ny famarana Boaza, ka nampitondrainy azy izany. Dia lasa nankany an-tanàna Boaza.
16 When Ruth returned to her mother-in-law, Naomi asked her, “How did it go, my daughter?” Then Ruth told her all that Boaz had done for her.
Ary rehefa tonga tany amin’ ny rafozani-vavy Rota, dia hoy Naomy: Nanao ahoana izay tany, anaka? Dia nambarany azy izay rehetra nataon-dralehilahy taminy.
17 And she said, “He gave me these six measures of barley, for he said, ‘Do not go back to your mother-in-law empty-handed.’”
Ary hoy koa izy: Ireto vary hordea inenin’ ny famarana ireto dia nomeny ahy; fa hoy izy tamiko: Aza mandeha tsy mitondra zavatra ho any amin’ ny rafozanao-vavy.
18 “Wait, my daughter,” said Naomi, “until you find out how things go, for he will not rest unless he has resolved the matter today.”
Dia hoy izy: Mitoera ihany, anaka, mandra-pahafantatrao izay hiantefan’ ny raharaha; fa tsy hijanona ralehilahy, fa hovitainy anio ihany ny raharaha.
