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?
Le hoe t’i Noomie rafoza’e ampela ama’e: O anako, tsy hipaiako fitsolohañe hao hañasoañe azo?
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.
Aa tsy longon-tikañe hao t’i Boaze nindreza’o amo mpitoroñ-ampela’eoy? Hamofoke vare-hordea an-tane famofohañe eo re te haleñe.
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.
Aa le miandroa irehe, naho mihosora, naho aombeo ty saro’o soa, vaho mizotsoa mb’ an-tane-pamofohañe mb’eo, fe ko ampandrendrehe’o aze, ampara’ t’ie anjañe mahakama naho rano.
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.”
Ie amy zao, naho màndre re, isaho i andrea’ey, le iziliho; afaho ty am-pandia’e eo, le mandrea eo, vaho ho saontsie’e ama’o ty hanoe’o.
5 “I will do everything you say,” Ruth answered.
Le hoe re tama’e: Hanoeko iaby i linaño’o amakoy,
6 So she went down to the threshing floor and did everything her mother-in-law had instructed her to do.
aa le nizotso mb’ am-pamofohañe mb’eo re nanao i nitoroa’ i rafoza’e ampelaiy.
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.
Ie fa nikama naho ninoñe t’i Boaze, vaho nifale ty tro’e, le niavotse handre añ’ila’ ty fitoboroñam-bare ey; nipiapia mb’eo re nañafake ty am-pandia’e vaho nandre eo.
8 At midnight, Boaz was startled, turned over, and there lying at his feet was a woman!
Ie niantets’ aleñe, nitsekake indatiy le nañorirañe vaho hehe te ampela ty nandre an-tombo’e eo.
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.”
Aa hoe re, Ia v’iheo? Le hoe re, I Rote mpitoro’o ampelay; ehe, alafiho amo mpitoro-ampela’oo ty saro’o amy t’ie longo mahafijebañe.
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.
Le hoe re, Ho tahie’ Iehovà irehe, anako; lombolombo te amy fatariha’o am-baloha’ey ty fatariha’o am-para’e, amy te tsy norihe’o o ajalahio ke t’ie mpañarivo he te rarake.
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.
Ie amy zao, anako, ko hembañe, fa hene hanoeko ama’o i vinola’oy; fa fohi’ i fivori’ ondaty an-dalambey iabiy te ampela vañon-drehe.
12 Yes, it is true that I am a kinsman-redeemer, but there is a redeemer nearer than I.
Aa le ndra te to t’ie longo mpijebañe, mbe eo ty longo-mpijebañe marine te amako.
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.”
Eo hey irehe ami’ty haleñe toy le ie maraiñe, naho mete hijebañe azo re, angao hijebañe, fa naho tsy mete hijebañ’ azo, le kanao veloñe t’Iehovà, izaho ty hijebañe; mandrea ampara’ te maraindray.
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.”
Aa le nandre am-pandia’e eo re ampara’ te niporea’ ty maraindray; vaho nañaleñaleñe aolo’ ty hahafifankaoniña’ ondaty, ie fa niaontsy ty hoe: Ao tsy hapota’ ondaty te niheo am-pamofohañe atoy ty ampela.
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.
Le hoe re, Tano o sarom-pikolopofa’oo, naho atantezo; le vinela’e naho narane’e ama’e ty vare-hordea enem-pañaranañe, le nampilolohaze’e vaho niavotse mb’ an-drova mb’eo.
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.
Aa hoe ty asa’ i rafoza’e ampelay tama’e t’ie pok’eo, Akore henaneo, anako? le natalili’e ama’e i nanoa’ indatiy azey,
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.’”
vaho hoe re: Natolo’e ahy o vare-hordea fañaranañe eneñe toañe ami’ty hoe, Ko mimpoly mañomaño mb’ aman-drafoza’o ampela ao.
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.”
Le hoe re, Eo hey anako, ampara’ te fohi’o ty figadoña’e; fa tsy hitofa indatiy ampara’ te henefe’e anito i rahay.
