< 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.
Naʻe toki ʻalu hake ai ʻa Poasi ki he matapā, pea nofo ki lalo ia ʻi ai: pea vakai, naʻe ʻalu ange ʻae kāinga ʻaia naʻe lea ki ai ʻa Poasi; ʻaia naʻe pehē ki ai ia, “ʻE, ʻa koe, tafoki mai, pea nofo ki lalo ʻi heni.” Pea naʻe tafoki ia, ʻo nofo ki lalo.
2 Dia naka folo lahy tamin’ ny loholona tao an-tanàna Boaza ka nanao hoe: Mipetraha eto ianareo. Dia nipetraka ireo.
Pea naʻa ne ʻomi ʻae kau tangata ʻe toko hongofulu ko e kau mātuʻa ʻoe kolo, ʻo ne pehē, “Mou nofo ki lalo ʻi heni.” Pea naʻa nau nofo ki lalo.
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.
Pea pehē ʻe ia ki he kāinga, “Ko Naomi ʻaia kuo toe haʻu mei he fonua ko Moape, ʻoku fakatau ʻe ia ʻae konga fonua, ʻaia naʻe ʻia ʻElimeleki ko hotau tokoua.
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.
Pea ne u pehē, “Te u fakahā ia kiate koe, ʻo pehē, Ke ke fakatau ia ʻi he ʻao ʻoe kakai, pea ʻi he ʻao ʻoe kau mātuʻa ʻo hoku kakai. Kapau te ke huhuʻi ia, pea ke huhuʻi ia: pea kapau ʻe ʻikai te ke huhuʻi ia, pea ke fakahā kiate au, koeʻuhi ke u ʻilo: he ʻoku ʻikai ha tokotaha kehe ke huhuʻi ia ka ko koe; pea ʻoku ou hoko mo koe.” Pea pehē ʻe ia, “Te u huhuʻi ia.”
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.
Pea pehē ai ʻe Poasi, “Ko e ʻaho ko ia ʻoku ke fakatau ʻae ngoue ʻi he nima ʻo Naomi, ʻoku totonu hoʻo fakatau ia ʻi he nima ʻo Lute foki ko e fefine Moape, ko e uaifi ʻoe pekia, ke fokotuʻu hake ʻae hingoa ʻoe pekia ki hono tofiʻa.
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.
Pea naʻe pehē ʻe he kāinga, “ʻOku ʻikai te u faʻa huhuʻi ia moʻoku, telia naʻaku maumau ai ʻae tofiʻa ʻoʻoku: ke ke huhuʻi ʻaia ʻoku ʻoʻoku moʻou; he ʻoku ʻikai te u faʻa huhuʻi ia.”
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.
Pea ko eni hono anga ʻi muʻa ʻi ʻIsileli ʻoe huhuʻi, pea ki he fetongi, ke fakamoʻoni ʻae ngaahi meʻa kotoa pē; naʻe vete ʻe he tangata hono topuvaʻe, pea ʻatu ia ki hono kaungāʻapi: pea ko e meʻa fakamoʻoni ia ʻi ʻIsileli.
8 Ary hoy ilay havana mahavotra tamin’ i Boaza: Vidio ho anao izany. Dia nanaisotra ny kirarony izy.
Ko ia naʻe pehē ai ʻe he kāinga kia Poasi, “Ke ke fakatau ia moʻou.” Ko ia naʻa ne vete ʻo toʻo hono topuvaʻe.
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.
Pea pehē ʻe Poasi ki he kau mātuʻa, pea ki he kakai kotoa pē, “Ko e kau fakamoʻoni ʻakimoutolu he ʻaho ni kuo u fakatau ʻaia kotoa pē naʻe ʻo ʻElimeleki, mo ia kotoa pē naʻe ʻo Kilioni mo Maloni, ʻi he nima ʻo 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.
Pea mo Lute foki ko e fefine Moape, ko e uaifi ʻo Maloni, kuo u fakatau ko hoku uaifi, ke fokotuʻu hake ʻae hingoa ʻoe pekia ki hono tofiʻa, koeʻuhi ke ʻoua naʻa motuhi ʻae hingoa ʻoe pekia mei hono kāinga, pea mei he matapā ʻo hono potu: ko e kau fakamoʻoni ʻakimoutolu he ʻaho ni.”
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;
Pea naʻe lea ʻae kakai kotoa pē naʻe ʻi he matapā, mo e kau mātuʻa, ʻo pehē, “Ko e kau fakamoʻoni ʻakimautolu. Ke ngaohi ʻe Sihova ʻae fefine kuo haʻu ki ho fale ke hangē ko Lesieli mo Lia, ʻakinaua naʻa na langa ʻae fale ʻo ʻIsileli: pea ke tāpuekina koe ʻi ʻEfalata, pea ke ongolelei koe ʻi Petelihema:
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.
pea ke hoko ʻo tatau ho fale mo e fale ʻo Felesi, ʻaia naʻe fanauʻi ʻe Tema kia Siuta, ʻi he hako ʻaia ʻe tuku kiate koe ʻe Sihova ʻi he fefine mui ni.”
13 Ary Boaza dia nampakatra an’ i Rota ka nanambady azy; ary Jehovah nampanan’ anaka azy, ka niteraka zazalahy izy.
Ko ia naʻe ʻomi ʻe Poasi ʻa Lute, pea hoko ia ko hono uaifi: pea ʻi heʻene ʻalu kiate ia, naʻe foaki kiate ia ʻe Sihova ke feitama, pea ne fanauʻi ʻae tama.
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.
Pea naʻe pehē ʻe he kau fefine kia Naomi, “Fakafetaʻi kia Sihova, ʻaia naʻe ʻikai tuku liʻaki koe taʻehao-kāinga, koeʻuhi ke hoko ʻo ongoongolelei hono hingoa ʻi ʻIsileli.
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.
Pea ʻe ʻiate koe ia ko e fakaakeake moʻui, pea ko e tauhi kiate koe ʻi hoʻo motuʻa: koeʻuhi ko hoʻo taʻahine ʻi he fono, ʻaia ʻoku ʻofa kiate koe, ʻaia ʻoku lelei lahi kiate koe ʻi he tama tangata ʻe toko fitu, kuo ne fanauʻi kiate ia.”
16 Dia nandray ny zaza Naomy ka nitrotro azy, dia tonga mpitaiza azy.
Pea naʻe toʻo ʻe Naomi ʻae tamasiʻi, pea ʻai ia ki hono fatafata, pea hoko ia ko hono tauhi.
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.
Pea naʻe fakahingoa ia ʻe he kau fefine ʻo hono kaungāʻapi, ʻo pehē, “Kuo tupu ʻae tama kia Naomi, pea naʻa nau ui hono hingoa ko ʻOpeti: ko ia ia ko e tamai ʻa Sese, ko e tamai ʻa Tevita.
18 Ary izao no taranak’ i Fareza: Fareza niteraka an’ i Hezrona;
Pea ko e ngaahi toʻutangata eni ʻo Felesi: naʻe tupu ʻia Felesi ʻa Hesiloni,
19 ary Hezrona niteraka an’ i Rama; ary Rama niteraka an’ i Aminadaba;
Pea tupu ʻia Hesiloni ʻa Lame, pea tupu ʻia Lame ʻa ʻAminitapi,
20 ary Aminadaba niteraka an’ i Nasona; ary Nasona niteraka an’ i Salmona;
Pea tupu ʻia ʻAminitapi ʻa Nasoni, pea tupu ʻia Nasoni ʻa Salimoni,
21 ary Salmona niteraka an’ i Boaza; ary Boaza niteraka an’ i Obeda;
Pea tupu ʻia Salimoni ʻa Poasi, pea tupu ʻia Poasi ʻa ʻOpeti,
22 ary Obeda niteraka an’ i Jese; ary Jese niteraka an’ i Davida.
Pea tupu ʻia ʻOpeti ʻa Sese, pea tupu ʻia Sese ʻa Tevita.”
