Rota 4
1 Ary rehefa tafakatra teo am-bavahady Boaza ka nipetraka teo, dia, indro, nandalo ilay havana mahavotra voalazany, dia hoy Boaza: Ranona iry ô! maitia kely ange; mipetraha eto. Dia nanatona izy ka nipetraka.
And Boaz has gone up to the gate, and sits there, and behold, the redeemer is passing by of whom Boaz had spoken, and he says, “Turn aside, sit down here, such a one, such a one”; and he turns aside and sits down.
2 Dia naka folo lahy tamin’ ny loholona tao an-tanàna Boaza ka nanao hoe: Mipetraha eto ianareo. Dia nipetraka ireo.
And he takes ten men from [the] elderly of the city, and says, “Sit down here”; and they sit down.
3 Dia niteny tamin’ Ilay havana akaiky izy ka nanao hoe: Naomy, izay niverina avy tany amin’ ny tany Moaba, dia mivarotra ny tany izay an’ i Elimeleka rahalahintsika.
And he says to the redeemer, “A portion of the field which [is] to our brother, to Elimelech, has Naomi sold, who has come back from the fields of Moab;
4 Ary izaho nikasa hampandre anao hoe: Vidio eto anatrehan’ izay mipetraka eto sy eto anatrehan’ ny loholona amin’ ny fireneko izany. Raha hanavotra ianao, dia avoty; fa raha tàhiny tsy hanavotra ianao, dia lazao amiko mba ho fantatro; fa tsy misy tokony hanavotra afa-tsy ianao, ary izaho no manarakaraka anao. Ary hoy izy: Hanavotra ihany aho.
and I said, I uncover your ear, saying, Buy before the inhabitants and before [the] elderly of my people; if you redeem—redeem, and if none redeems—declare [it] to me and I know, for there is none except you to redeem, and I after you.” And he says, “I redeem [it].”
5 Dia hoy Boaza: Amin’ izay andro ividiananao ny tany amin’ ny tànan’ i Naomy, dia amin’ i Rota koa, vehivavy Moabita, vadin’ ny maty, no hividiananao azy, mba hamelo-maso ny anaran’ ny maty ao amin’ ny lovany ianao.
And Boaz says, “In the day of your buying the field from the hand of Naomi, then from Ruth the Moabitess, wife of the dead, you have bought [it], to raise up the name of the dead over his inheritance.”
6 Fa hoy ilay havana mahavotra: Tsia, tsy mahazo manavotra ho an’ ny tenako aho, fandrao mahasimba ny lovako; avoty ihany ho anao ny ahy, fa tsy mahavotra aho.
And the redeemer says, “I am not able to redeem [it] for myself, lest I destroy my inheritance; redeem for yourself—you—my right of redemption, for I am not able to redeem.”
7 Ary ny amin’ ny fanavotana sy ny fanakalozana teo amin’ ny Isiraely fahiny hahamafy ny teny rehetra dia izao: nesorin’ ny lehilahy ny kirarony ka nomeny ho an’ ny namany; dia vavolombelona teo amin’ ny Isiraely izany.
And this [is] formerly in Israel for redemption and for exchanging, to establish anything: a man has drawn off his sandal, and given [it] to his neighbor, and this [is] the Testimony in Israel.
8 Ary hoy ilay havana mahavotra tamin’ i Boaza: Vidio ho anao izany. Dia nanaisotra ny kirarony izy.
And the redeemer says to Boaz, “Buy [it] for yourself,” and draws off his sandal.
9 Ary hoy Boaza tamin’ ny loholona sy ny vahoaka rehetra: Hianareo no vavolombelona androany fa efa novidiko tamin’ ny tànan’ i Naomy izay rehetra an’ i Elimeleka sy izay rehetra an’ i Kiliona sy Malona.
And Boaz says to the elderly, and [to] all the people, “You [are] witnesses today that I have bought all that [belonged] to Elimelech, and all that [belonged] to Chilion and Mahlon, from the hand of Naomi;
10 Ary Rota koa, vehivavy Moabita, vadin’ i Malona, dia lasako ho vadiko hamelo-maso ny anaran’ ny maty ao amin’ ny lovany, mba tsy ho faty maso ny anaran’ ny maty eo amin’ ny rahalahiny sy eo amin’ ny vavahadin’ ny fonenany; ianareo no vavolombelona androany.
and also Ruth the Moabitess, wife of Mahlon, I have bought to myself for a wife, to raise up the name of the dead over his inheritance; and the name of the dead is not cut off from among his brothers, and from the gate of his place; witnesses you [are] today.”
11 Dia hoy ny vahoaka rehetra izay teo amin’ ny vavahady sy ny loholona: Eny, vavolombelona izahay; hataon’ i Jehovah tahaka an’ i Rahely sy tahaka an’ i Lea anie izay vehivavy efa ho tonga ao an-tranonao; fa izy roa vavy no nanangana ny tranon’ ny Isiraely; ary aoka ho lehibe any Efrata anie ianao, ary halaza any Betlehema anie ny anaranao;
And all the people who [are] in the gate say—also the elderly, “Witnesses! YHWH makes the woman who is coming to your house as Rachel and as Leah, both of whom built the house of Israel; and you do virtuously in Ephrathah, and proclaim the name in Beth-Lehem;
12 ary ho tahaka ny taranak’ i Fareza, izay naterak’ i Tamara tamin’ i Joda, anie ny taranakao avy amin’ ny zanaka izay homen’ i Jehovah anao amin’ ity vehivavy ity.
and let your house be as the house of Perez (whom Tamar bore to Judah), of the seed which YHWH gives to you of this young woman.”
13 Ary Boaza dia nampakatra an’ i Rota ka nanambady azy; ary Jehovah nampanan’ anaka azy, ka niteraka zazalahy izy.
And Boaz takes Ruth, and she becomes his wife, and he goes in to her, and YHWH gives conception to her, and she bears a son.
14 Ary hoy ireo vehivavy tamin’ i Naomy: Isaorana anie Jehovah, Izay tsy namela anao androany tsy hanan-kavana mahavotra, ary aoka halaza ny anarany eo amin’ ny Isiraely.
And the women say to Naomi, “Blessed [is] YHWH who has not let a redeemer cease to you today, and his name is proclaimed in Israel,
15 Dia hamelona ny ainao sy hitaiza anao izy, rehefa antitra ianao; fa niteraka azy ny vinantonaovavy, izay tia anao, ilay tsara lavitra aminao mihoatra noho ny zanaka fito lahy.
and he has been to you for a restorer of life, and for a nourisher of your old age, for your daughter-in-law who has loved you—who is better to you than seven sons—has borne him.”
16 Dia nandray ny zaza Naomy ka nitrotro azy, dia tonga mpitaiza azy.
And Naomi takes the boy, and lays him in her bosom, and is to him for a nurse;
17 Ary ny vehivavy namany nifidy ny anarany ka nanao hoe: Misy zazalahy teraka ho an’ i Naomy; ary ny anarany nataony hoe Obeda; izy no rain’ i Jese, rain’ i Davida.
and the neighboring women give a name to him, saying, “There has been a son born to Naomi,” and they call his name Obed; he [is] father of Jesse, father of David.
18 Ary izao no taranak’ i Fareza: Fareza niteraka an’ i Hezrona;
And these are generations of Perez: Perez begot Hezron,
19 ary Hezrona niteraka an’ i Rama; ary Rama niteraka an’ i Aminadaba;
and Hezron begot Ram, and Ram begot Amminidab,
20 ary Aminadaba niteraka an’ i Nasona; ary Nasona niteraka an’ i Salmona;
and Amminidab begot Nahshon, and Nahshon begot Salmon,
21 ary Salmona niteraka an’ i Boaza; ary Boaza niteraka an’ i Obeda;
and Salmon begot Boaz, and Boaz begot Obed,
22 ary Obeda niteraka an’ i Jese; ary Jese niteraka an’ i Davida.
and Obed begot Jesse, and Jesse begot David.
