< Ruth 3 >

1 Naomi her mother-in-law said to her, "My daughter, shall I not seek rest 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 isn't Boaz our kinsman, with whose maidens you were? Look, he winnows barley tonight at 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, anoint yourself, and put on your clothes, and go down to the threshing floor, but do not make yourself known to the man 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 It shall be, when he lies down, that you shall notice the place where he lies, and you shall go in, and uncover his feet, and lie down; then he will tell you what you shall 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 She said to her, "All that you say I will do."
Dia hoy izy taminy: Eny, fa hataoko izay rehetra lazainao amiko.
6 She went down to the threshing floor, and did according to all that her mother-in-law told her.
Dia nidina tany am-pamoloana izy ka nanao araka izay rehetra nandidian’ ny rafozani-vavy azy.
7 When Boaz had eaten and drank, and his heart was merry, he went to lie down at the end of the heap of grain. She came quietly, 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 It happened at midnight, that the man was startled and turned over; and look, a woman lay at his feet.
Ary nony namatonalina, dia taitra ralehilahy ka niarina hitsapa, ary, indro, nisy vehivavy nandry teo an-tongony.
9 He said, "Who are you?" She answered, "I am Ruth your handmaid. Therefore spread the corner of your garment over your handmaid; for you are a redeeming kinsman."
Dia hoy izy: Iza moa izato? Ary hoy kosa ravehivavy: Rota zatovovavinao aho; mba rakofy ny lambanao ny zatovovavinao, fa havana mahavotra ianao.
10 He said, "Blessed are you by the LORD, my daughter. You have shown more kindness in the latter end than at the beginning, inasmuch as you didn't follow young men, whether poor or rich.
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 Now, my daughter, do not be afraid; I will do to you all that you say; for all the city of my people does know that you are a worthy woman.
Koa ankehitriny anaka, aza matahotra; hataoko aminao izay rehetra angatahinao; fa fantatr’ izay rehetra ao an-tanànan’ ny fireneko fa vehivavy tsara ianao.
12 Now it is true that I am a redeeming kinsman; however there is a redeemer closer than I am.
Ary ankehitriny marina izany, fa havana mahavotra aho; nefa misy havana mahavotra akaiky kokoa noho izaho.
13 Stay this night, and it shall be in the morning, that if he will perform for you the part of a redeemer, well; let him do the redeemer's part. But if he will not do the part of a redeemer for you, then I will do the part of a redeemer for you, as the LORD lives. Lie down until the 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 She lay at his feet until the morning. She rose up before one could discern another. For he said, "Let it not be known that the 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 He said, "Bring the cloak that is on you, and hold it." She held it; and he measured six measures of barley, and laid it on her; and 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 she came to her mother-in-law, she said, "How did it go, my daughter?" She told her all that the man had done to 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 She said, "He gave me these six measures of barley; for he said to me, 'Do not go empty-handed to your mother-in-law.'"
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 Then she said, "Wait, my daughter, until you know how the matter will fall; for the man will not rest, until he has finished the thing this day."
Dia hoy izy: Mitoera ihany, anaka, mandra-pahafantatrao izay hiantefan’ ny raharaha; fa tsy hijanona ralehilahy, fa hovitainy anio ihany ny raharaha.
