< Rota 2 >

1 Ary nisy havan’ ny vadin’ i Naomy avy amin’ ny fokon’ i Elimeleka, lehilahy mpanjatobe, Boaza no anarany.
Pea naʻe ʻia Naomi ha kāinga ʻo hono husepāniti, ko e tangata koloaʻia lahi ʻaupito, ʻi he fale ʻo ʻElimeleki, pea ko hono hingoa ko Poasi.
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.
Pea naʻe pehē ʻe Lute ko e fefine Moape kia Naomi, “Ke ke tuku au ke u ʻalu ni ki he ngoue, pea tufi ʻae ngaahi ʻuluʻi uite ʻo muimui ʻiate ia, ʻaia te u maʻu ai ʻae fiemālie ʻi hono ʻao.” Pea naʻe pehē ʻe ia kiate ia, “ʻĀ ʻeku tama, ke ke ʻalu.”
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.
Pea naʻe ʻalu ia, pea hoko ʻo tufi ʻi he ngoue ʻo muimui ʻi he kau tuʻusi: pea tā ne mālie ʻia ʻene hoko ki he potu ʻoe ngoue naʻe ʻia Poasi, ʻaia naʻe ʻi he kāinga ʻo ʻElimeleki.
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.
Pea, vakai, naʻe haʻu ʻa Poasi mei Petelihema, ʻo ne pehē ki he kau tuʻusi, “Ke ʻiate kimoutolu ʻa Sihova.” Pea naʻa nau tali ia ʻo pehē, “Ke tāpuaki koe ʻe Sihova.”
5 Dia hoy Boaza tamin’ ny zatovony, izay nitandrina ny mpijinja: Zanak’ iza moa io zazavavy io?
Pea naʻe pehē ʻe Poasi ki heʻene tamaioʻeiki naʻe fakanofo ki he kau tuʻusi, “Ko e fefine ʻo hai eni?”
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;
Pea leaange ʻe he tamaioʻeiki naʻe fakanofo ki he kau tuʻusi ʻo ne pehē, “Ko e fefine Moape ia naʻe haʻu mo Naomi mei he fonua ko Moape:”
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.
Pea naʻe pehē ʻe ia, “ʻOku ou kole kiate kimoutolu, tuku au ke u tufi ʻo tānaki muimui ʻi he kau tuʻusi ʻi he lotolotonga ʻoe ngaahi ū: ko ia naʻe haʻu ai ia, pea kuo ne fai maʻuaipē ia, talu mei he pongipongi ki he feituʻulaʻā ni kuo ne afe siʻi pe ia ki he fale.”
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.
Pea naʻe pehē ai ʻe Poasi kia Lute, “ʻE hoku ʻofefine, ʻoku ʻikai te ke fanongo? ʻOua naʻa ke ʻalu ki ha ngoue kehe ke tufi, pea ʻoua naʻa ke ʻalu mei heni, ka ke nofomaʻu pe ʻo ofi ki hoku kau fefine:
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.
Ke ke sio pe ki he ngoue ʻoku nau tuʻusi, pea ke muimui ʻiate kinautolu: ʻikai kuo ʻosi ʻeku fekau ki he kau talavou ke ʻoua naʻa nau ala kiate koe? Pea ʻoka ke ka fieinu, ʻalu ki he ngaahi ʻaiʻanga inu ʻo inu, pea inu ʻaia kuo ʻutu ʻe he kau talavou.”
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?
Pea naʻe tōmapeʻe ia ki hono mata, pea punou ia ki he kelekele, ʻo ne pehē kiate ia, “Ko e hā kuo u ʻilo ai ʻae ʻofa ʻi ho ʻao, koeʻuhi ke ke fie tokanga ai kiate au, he ko e muli au?”
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.
Pea naʻe tali ʻe Poasi ʻo ne pehē kiate ia, “Kuo fakahā ʻo lahi kiate au, ʻaia kotoa pē kuo ke fai ki hoʻo faʻē ʻi he fono, talu ʻae pekia ʻa ho husepāniti: pea mo hoʻo liʻaki hoʻo tamai mo hoʻo faʻē, pea mo e fonua naʻa ke tupu ai, pea kuo ke haʻu ki ha kakai naʻe ʻikai te ke tomuʻa ʻilo.
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.
Ke totongi ʻe Sihova ʻa hoʻo ngāue, pea ke foaki kiate koe ʻe Sihova ko e ʻOtua ʻo ʻIsileli ʻae totongi lahi, ʻaia ko e kapakau ʻoʻona kuo ke haʻu ke falala ki ai.”
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.
Pea naʻe pehē ʻe ia, “Tuku ke u ʻilo ʻae ʻofa ʻi he ʻao ʻo hoku ʻeiki; he kuo ke fakafiemālieʻi au, pea kuo tau hoʻo lea ki he loto ʻo hoʻo kaunanga, neongo ʻoku ʻikai te u hangē ha taha ʻi hoʻo kaunanga.”
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.
Pea naʻe pehē ʻe Poasi kiate ia, ʻI he feituʻulaʻā kai ke ke haʻu ki heni, “Pea kai ʻi he mā, pea peke hoʻo konga mā ʻi he vaimahi.” Pea naʻe nofo ofi ia ki he kau tuʻusi: pea naʻa ne ʻatu kiate ia ʻae uite tunu, pea kai ʻe ia, pea mākona, pea naʻe toe.
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.
Pea ʻi heʻene tuʻu hake ke tufi, naʻe fekau ʻe Poasi ki heʻene kau talavou, ʻo pehē, “Tuku ia ke tufi ʻi he lotolotonga ʻoe ngaahi ū, pea ʻoua naʻa fakamā ia:
16 Ary asio latsadatsaka avy amin’ ny amboara, ka avelao ireny hotsimponiny, fa aza raràna izy.
pea tuku ke ngangana ʻae ngaahi faluku koeʻuhi ke ne maʻu ia, pea tuku ai pe ia, koeʻuhi ke ne tufi ia, pea ʻoua naʻa valoki ia.”
17 Ary nitsimpona tany an-tsaha mandra-paharivan’ ny andro Rota, dia nively izay efa voatsimpony, ka nisy vary hordea tokony ho iray efaha.
Ko ia ne tufi ai ia ʻi he ngoue ko ia ʻo aʻu ki he efiafi pea naʻe tuki ʻe ia ʻaia kuo ne tufi: pea ko e efa nai ʻe taha ʻoe paʻale.
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.
Pea naʻa ne toʻo hake ia, ʻo ʻalu ki he kolo: pea naʻe mamata ʻene faʻē ʻi he fono ki he meʻa naʻa ne tufi: pea ne ʻomi ia ʻo ʻatu ia kiate ia, ʻaia naʻa ne fakatoe, hili ʻene kai ʻo mākona.
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
Pea naʻe pehē ʻe heʻene faʻē ʻi he fono kiate ia, “Naʻa ke tufi ki fē he ʻaho ni? Pea naʻa ke ngāue ki fē koe?” Ke monūʻia pe ia ʻaia naʻa ne tokangaʻi koe. Pea naʻa ne fakahā ki heʻene faʻē ʻi he fono ʻaia naʻa ne ngāue mo ia, ʻo ne pehē, “Ko e tangata naʻaku ngāue ʻi ai he ʻaho ni ko Poasi hono hingoa.”
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.
Pea naʻe pehē ʻe Naomi ki heʻene tama ʻi he fono, “Ke monūʻia pe ia ʻia Sihova, ʻaia ʻoku ʻikai tuku ʻene fai angaʻofa ki he moʻui, pea mo e mate.” Pea naʻe pehē ʻe Naomi kiate ia, “Ko e tangata kāinga ofi ia kiate kitaua, ko e tokotaha ʻo hota kāinga ʻoku ofi lahi.”
21 Ary hoy Rota, vehivavy Moabita: Izao koa no nataony tamiko: Mitoera tsara eo anilan’ ny zatovoko ianao mandra-pahatapitry ny fijinjana.
Pea naʻe pehē ʻe Lute ko e fefine Moape, naʻa ne pehē foki kiate au, “Ke ke fai maʻu pe ke ofi ki heʻeku kau talavou, ke ʻoua ke ʻosi ʻeku tuʻusi ʻeku taʻu kotoa.”
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.
Pea naʻe pehē ʻe Naomi kia Lute ko ʻene tama ʻi he fono, “ʻA ʻeku tama, ʻOku lelei ia, koeʻuhi ke ke ʻalu kituʻa mo ʻene kau kaunanga, koeʻuhi ke ʻoua naʻa ʻilo koe ʻi ha ngoue kehe ʻe taha.”
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.
Ko ia naʻe ʻalu maʻu pe ia mo e kau kaunanga ʻa Poasi, ke fai ʻene tufi ke ʻoua ke hili ʻae fetuku ʻae taʻu paʻale mo e taʻu uite: pea naʻe nofo ia mo ʻene faʻē ʻi he fono.
