< Ruth 2 >

1 And Naomi had a kinsman of her husband’s, a mighty man of wealth, of the family of Elimelech; and his name was Boaz.
Ary nisy havan’ ny vadin’ i Naomy avy amin’ ny fokon’ i Elimeleka, lehilahy mpanjatobe, Boaza no anarany.
2 And Ruth the Moabitess said unto Naomi, Let me now go to the field, and glean among the ears of corn after him in whose sight I shall find grace. And she said unto her, Go, my daughter.
Ary hoy Rota, vehivavy Moabita, tamin’ i Naomy: Aoka aho hankany an-tsaha mba hitsimpona salohim-bary eo aorian’ izay hahitako fitia eo imasony. Dia hoy izy taminy: Andeha ary, anaka.
3 And she went, and came and gleaned in the field after the reapers: and her hap was to light on the portion of the field belonging unto Boaz, who was of the family of Elimelech.
Dia lasa nandeha izy ka nitsimpona tany an-tsaha teo aorian’ ny mpijinja; ary sendra tonga tany amin’ ny tanimbarin’ i Boaza, izay avy amin’ ny fokon’ i Elimeleka, izy.
4 And, behold, Boaz came from Beth-lehem, and said unto the reapers, The LORD be with you. And they answered him, The LORD bless thee.
Ary, indro, Boaza tonga avy tany Betlehema ka niteny tamin’ ny mpijinja hoe: Jehovah anie ho aminareo. Dia hoy kosa Ireo taminy: Hitahy anao anie Jehovah.
5 Then said Boaz unto his servant that was set over the reapers, Whose damsel is this? r
Dia hoy Boaza tamin’ ny zatovony, izay nitandrina ny mpijinja: Zanak’ iza moa io zazavavy io?
6 And the servant that was set over the reapers answered and said, It is the Moabitish damsel that came back with Naomi out of the country of Moab:
Dia namaly ilay zatovo nitandrina ny mpijinja ka nanao hoe: Zazavavy Moabita, izay niverina nomba an’ i Naomy avy tany amin’ ny tany Moaba io;
7 And she said, Let me glean, I pray you, and gather after the reapers among the sheaves: so she came, and hath continued even from the morning until now, save that she tarried a little in the house.
fa hoy izy: Masìna ianao aoka aho hitsimpona sy hanangona eo aorian’ ny mpijinja eny anelanelan’ ny amboara; dia tonga izy ka nijanona teto hatramin’ ny maraina ka mandraka ankehitriny; kely foana no nitoerany tao an-trano.
8 Then said Boaz unto Ruth, Hearest thou not, my daughter? Go not to glean in another field, neither pass from hence, but abide here fast by my maidens.
Dia hoy Boaza tamin’ i Rota: Tsy mandre va ianao, anaka? Aza mandeha hitsimpona any an-tanimbary hafa na miala eto ianao, fa mitoera eto anilan’ ny zatovovavy.
9 Let thine eyes be on the field that they do reap, and go thou after them: have I not charged the young men that they shall not touch thee? and when thou art athirst, go unto the vessels, and drink of that which the young men have drawn.
Aoka ny masonao ho amin’ ny tanimbary izay jinjany, ka manaraha eo aoriany ianao: tsy efa nodidiako va ny zatovo tsy haninona anao? Ary raha mangetaheta ianao, mankanesa eroa amin’ ny siny, ka misotroa amin’ izay antsakain’ ny zatovo.
10 Then she fell on her face, and bowed herself to the ground, and said unto him, Why have I found grace in thy sight, that thou shouldest take knowledge of me, seeing I am a stranger?
Dia niondrika sy niankohoka tamin’ ny tany Rota ka nanao taminy hoe: Ahoana no mba ahitako fitia eto imasonao sy itsinjovanao ahy, nefa vahiny ihany aho?
11 And Boaz answered and said unto her, It hath fully been shewed me, all that thou hast done unto thy mother in law since the death of thine husband: and how thou hast left thy father and thy mother, and the land of thy nativity, and art come unto a people which thou knewest not heretofore.
Dia namaly Boaza ka nanao taminy hoe: Efa reko tsara izay rehetra nataonao tamin’ ny rafozanao-vavy hatrizay nahafatesan’ ny vadinao sy ny nahafoizanao ny rainao sy ny reninao mbamin’ ny tany nahaterahanao sy nankanesanao atỳ amin’ ny firenena tsy mbola fantatrao.
12 The LORD recompense thy work, and a full reward be given thee of the LORD, the God of Israel, under whose wings thou art come to take refuge.
Hamaly ny nataonao anie Jehovah, ka homen’ i Jehovah, Andriamanitry ny Isiraely, valim-pitia lehibe anie ianao, satria avy hialoka eo ambanin’ ny elany ianao.
13 Then she said, Let me find grace in thy sight, my lord; for that thou hast comforted me, and for that thou hast spoken kindly unto thine handmaid, though I be not as one of thine handmaidens.
Dia hoy Izy: Aoka hahita fitia eo imasonao aho, tompokolahy; fa efa nampifaly ahy ianao, ary efa niteny mora tamin’ ny zatovovavinao, na dia tsy tahaka ny anankiray amin’ ny zatovovavinao aza aho.
14 And at meal-time Boaz said unto her, Come hither, and eat of the bread, and dip thy morsel in the vinegar. And she sat beside the reapers: and they reached her parched corn, and she did eat, and was sufficed, and left thereof.
Ary rehefa tonga ny fotoam-pisakafoana, dia hoy Boaza taminy: Mankanesa atỳ, ka mihinàna mofo, ary atsobohy amin’ ny vinaingitra ny sombi-mofonao. Dia nipetraka teo anilan’ ny mpijinja izy; ary nangalan-dralehilahy lango izy, dia nihinana ka voky, ary nisy sisa tsy laniny aza.
15 And when she was risen up to glean, Boaz commanded his young men, saying, Let her glean even among the sheaves, and reproach her not.
Ary raha nitsangana hitsimpona izy, dia nodidian’ i Boaza ny ankizilahiny hoe: Aoka izy hitsimpona na dia eny anelanelan’ ny amboara aza, ka aza maninona azy.
16 And also pull out some for her from the bundles, and leave it, and let her glean, and rebuke her not.
Ary asio latsadatsaka avy amin’ ny amboara, ka avelao ireny hotsimponiny, fa aza raràna izy.
17 So she gleaned in the field until even; and she beat out that she had gleaned, and it was about an ephah of barley.
Ary nitsimpona tany an-tsaha mandra-paharivan’ ny andro Rota, dia nively izay efa voatsimpony, ka nisy vary hordea tokony ho iray efaha.
18 And she took it up, and went into the city: and her mother in law saw what she had gleaned: and she brought forth and gave to her that she had left after she was sufficed.
Dia nentiny izany, ka nankany an-tanàna izy, ary hitan’ ny rafozani-vavy izay efa voatsimpony; ary navoakany koa ilay sisa tsy laniny tamin’ ny nisakafoany ka nomeny ny rafozany.
19 And her mother in law said unto her, Where hast thou gleaned today? and where wroughtest thou? blessed be he that did take knowledge of thee. And she shewed her mother in law with whom she had wrought, and said, The man’s name with whom I wrought today is Boaz.
Dia hoy ny rafozanivavy taminy: Taiza no nitsimponanao androany, ary taiza no nanaovanao? Hotahina anie izay nitsinjo anao. Dia nambarany tamin’ ny rafozani-vavy izay efa nitsimponany ka hoy izy: Boaza no anaran’ ny lehilahy, izay tompon’ ny tanimbary nitsimponako androany
20 And Naomi said unto her daughter in law, Blessed be he of the LORD, who hath not left off his kindness to the living and to the dead. And Naomi said unto her, The man is nigh of kin unto us, one of our near kinsmen.
Dia hoy Naomy tamin’ ny vinantonivavy: Hotahin’ i Jehovah anie izay tsy nitsahatra hanao soa amin’ ny velona sy ny maty. Ary hoy koa Naomy taminy: Havantsika akaiky ihany ralehilahy, ka isan’ izay mahavotra antsika izy.
21 And Ruth the Moabitess said, Yea, he said unto me, Thou shalt keep fast by my young men, until they have ended all my harvest.
Ary hoy Rota, vehivavy Moabita: Izao koa no nataony tamiko: Mitoera tsara eo anilan’ ny zatovoko ianao mandra-pahatapitry ny fijinjana.
22 And Naomi said unto Ruth her daughter in law, It is good, my daughter, that thou go out with his maidens, and that they meet thee not in any other field.
Ary hoy Naomy tamin’ i Rota vinantoni-vavy: Tsara izany, anaka, raha miara-mivoaka amin’ ny ankizivavy ianao, fandrao hisy haninona anao raha any an-tsaha hafa.
23 So she kept fast by the maidens of Boaz to glean unto the end of barley harvest and of wheat harvest; and she dwelt with her mother in law.
Ary izy tsy nety nisaraka tamin’ ny zatovovavin’ i Boaza, fa nitsimpona mandra-pahatapitry ny fijinjana ny vary hordea sy ny vary tritika; ary nitoetra tao amin’ ny rafozani-vavy Izy.
