Rota 2
1 Ary nisy havan’ ny vadin’ i Naomy avy amin’ ny fokon’ i Elimeleka, lehilahy mpanjatobe, Boaza no anarany.
And Naomi had a relation of her husband's, a mighty man of wealth, of the family of Elimelech, and his name was Boaz.
2 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.
And Ruth the Moabitess said to Naomi, Let me, I pray, go to the field and glean among the ears of corn after [him] in whose sight I shall find favour. And she said to her, Go, my daughter.
3 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.
And she went; and she came and gleaned in the fields after the reapers; and she chanced to light on an allotment of Boaz, who was of the family of Elimelech.
4 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.
And behold, Boaz came from Bethlehem; and he said to the reapers, Jehovah be with you! And they said to him, Jehovah bless thee!
5 Dia hoy Boaza tamin’ ny zatovony, izay nitandrina ny mpijinja: Zanak’ iza moa io zazavavy io?
And Boaz said to his servant that was set over the reapers, Whose maiden is this?
6 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;
And the servant that was set over the reapers answered and said, It is the Moabitish maiden who came back with Naomi out of the fields of Moab;
7 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.
and she said, I pray you, let me glean and gather among the sheaves after the reapers. And she came, and has continued from the morning until now: her sitting in the house has been little as yet.
8 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.
And Boaz said to Ruth, Hearest thou not, my daughter? Go not to glean in another field, neither go from here, but keep here with my maidens.
9 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.
Let thine eyes be on the field which is being reaped, and go thou after them; have I not charged the young men not to touch thee? And when thou art athirst, go to the vessels and drink of what the young men draw.
10 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?
Then she fell on her face, and bowed herself to the ground, and said to him, Why have I found favour in thine eyes, that thou shouldest regard me, seeing I am a foreigner?
11 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.
And Boaz answered and said to her, It has fully been shewn me, all that thou hast done to thy mother-in-law since the death of thy husband; and how thou hast left thy father and thy mother, and the land of thy nativity, and art come to a people that thou hast not known heretofore.
12 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.
Jehovah recompense thy work, and let thy reward be full from Jehovah the God of Israel, under whose wings thou art come to take refuge.
13 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.
And she said, Let me find favour in thine eyes, my lord; for that thou hast comforted me, and for that thou hast spoken kindly to thy handmaid, though I am not like one of thy handmaidens.
14 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.
And Boaz said to her at mealtime, Come hither and eat of the bread, and dip thy morsel in the vinegar. And she sat beside the reapers; and he reached her parched corn, and she ate and was sufficed, and reserved [some].
15 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.
And when she rose up to glean, Boaz commanded his young men, saying, Let her glean even among the sheaves, and ye shall not reproach her.
16 Ary asio latsadatsaka avy amin’ ny amboara, ka avelao ireny hotsimponiny, fa aza raràna izy.
And ye shall also sometimes draw out for her [some ears] out of the handfuls, and leave them that she may glean, and rebuke her not.
17 Ary nitsimpona tany an-tsaha mandra-paharivan’ ny andro Rota, dia nively izay efa voatsimpony, ka nisy vary hordea tokony ho iray efaha.
And she gleaned in the field until even, and beat out what she had gleaned; and it was about an ephah of barley.
18 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.
And she took [it] up, and came into the city, and her mother-in-law saw what she had gleaned; and she brought forth and gave to her that which she had reserved after she was sufficed.
19 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
And her mother-in-law said to her, Where hast thou gleaned to-day? and where hast thou wrought? Blessed be he that did regard thee! And she told her mother-in-law with whom she had wrought, and said, The man's name with whom I wrought to-day is Boaz.
20 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.
And Naomi said to her daughter-in-law, Blessed be he of Jehovah, who has not left off his kindness to the living and to the dead! And Naomi said to her, The man is near of kin to us, one of those who have the right of our redemption.
21 Ary hoy Rota, vehivavy Moabita: Izao koa no nataony tamiko: Mitoera tsara eo anilan’ ny zatovoko ianao mandra-pahatapitry ny fijinjana.
And Ruth the Moabitess said, He said to me also, Thou shalt keep with my young men until they have ended all my harvest.
22 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.
And Naomi said to Ruth her daughter-in-law, It is good, my daughter, that thou go out with his maidens, that they meet thee not in any other field.
23 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.
So she kept with the maidens of Boaz to glean, until the end of the barley-harvest and of the wheat-harvest. And she dwelt with her mother-in-law.
