< Rota 1 >

1 Ary tamin’ ny andro nitsaran’ ny mpitsara dia nisy mosary teo amin’ ny tany. Ary nisy lehilahy avy any Betlehema-joda nandeha nivahiny tany amin’ ny tany Moaba, dia izy sy ny vadiny mbamin’ ny zanany roa lahy;
In diebus unius iudicis, quando iudices præerant, facta est fames in Terra. Abiitque homo de Bethlehem Iuda, ut peregrinaretur in regione Moabitide cum uxore sua, ac duobus liberis.
2 Elimeleka no anaran-dralehilahy, ary Naomy no anaran’ ny vadiny, ary ny anaran’ ny zanany roa lahy dia Malona sy Kiliona, Efratita avy any Betlehema-joda izy ireo. Dia tonga tany amin’ ny tany Moaba izy ka nitoetra tany.
ipse vocabatur Elimelech, et uxor eius Noemi: et duo filii, alter Mahalon, et alter Chelion, Ephrathæi de Bethlehem Iuda. Ingressique regionem Moabitidem, morabantur ibi.
3 Ary maty Elimeleka, vadin’ i Naomy ka izy sy ny zanany roa lahy ihany no sisa.
Et mortuus est Elimelech maritus Noemi: remansitque ipsa cum filiis.
4 Ary naka vady tamin’ ny vehivavy Moabita izy roa lahy: Orpa no anaran’ ny anankiray, ary Rota no anaran’ ny anankiray; dia nitoetra tany Moaba tokony ho folo taona izy.
Qui acceperunt uxores Moabitidas, quarum una vocabatur Orpha, altera vero Ruth. Manseruntque ibi decem annis,
5 Ary maty koa izy mirahalahy, dia Malona sy Kiliona, ka dia namoy ny zanany roa lahy sy ny vadiny ravehivavy.
et ambo mortui sunt, Mahalon videlicet et Chelion: remansitque mulier orbata duobus liberis ac marito.
6 Dia niainga izy sy ny vinantoni-vavy ka nody avy tany amin’ ny tany Moaba; fa efa reny tany amin’ ny tany Moaba fa novangian’ i Jehovah ny olony ka nomeny hanina.
Et surrexit ut in patriam pergeret cum utraque nuru sua de regione Moabitide: audierat enim quod respexisset Dominus populum suum, et dedisset eis escas.
7 Dia niala tamin’ izay nitoerany izy, ary ny vinantony roa vavy niaraka taminy; ary nandeha teny an-dalana izy hiverina any amin’ ny tanin’ ny Joda.
Egressa est itaque de loco peregrinationis suæ, cum utraque nuru: et iam in via revertendi posita in Terram Iuda,
8 Ary hoy Naomy tamin’ ny vinantony roa vavy: Andeha, samy mody any amin’ ny tranon-dreninareo avy ianareo; mba hohasoavin’ i Jehovah anie ianareo araka izay efa nataonareo tamin’ ny maty sy tamiko koa.
dixit ad eas: Ite in domum matris vestræ, faciat vobiscum Dominus misericordiam, sicut fecistis cum mortuis et mecum.
9 Homen’ i Jehovah tokan-trano anie ianareo ka hahita fiadanana amin’ izay tranon’ ny vadinareo avy. Dia nanoroka azy Naomy; ary izy roa vavy dia samy nanandratra ny feony ka nitomany.
Det vobis invenire requiem in domibus virorum, quos sortituræ estis. Et osculata est eas. Quæ elevata voce flere cœperunt,
10 Dia hoy izy roa vavy taminy: Hiara-miverina aminao tokoa izahay ho any amin’ ny firenenao.
et dicere: Tecum pergemus ad populum tuum.
11 Fa hoy Naomy: Miverena ihany ianareo, anaka; nahoana no hiara-mandeha amiko ianareo? Mbola misy zazalahy va ato an-kiboko mba ho vadinareo?
Quibus illa respondit: Revertimini filiæ meæ, cur venitis mecum? num ultra habeo filios in utero meo, ut viros ex me sperare possitis?
12 Miverena ihany ianareo, anaka, ka mandehana; fa efa antitra aho ka tsy hahazo vady intsony tsy akory. Raha hoy izaho: Manantena ihany aho, eny, na dia hanam-bady anio alina aza aho ka hiteraka zazalahy,
Revertimini filiæ meæ, et abite: iam enim senectute confecta sum, nec apta vinculo coniugali. etiam si possem hac nocte concipere, et parere filios,
13 moa hahandry azy mandra-pahalehibeny va ianareo ka hijanona tsy hanam-bady? Tsia, anaka, fa mangidy lavitra ny nanjo ahy noho ny nanjo anareo; fa ny tànan’ i Jehovah efa nahinjiny hamely ahy.
si eos expectare velitis donec crescant, et annos pubertatis impleant, ante eritis vetulæ quam nubatis. Nolite, quæso, filiæ meæ: quia vestra angustia magis me premit, et egressa est manus Domini contra me.
14 Dia samy nanandratra ny feony indray izy roa vavy ka nitomany; ary Orpa dia nanoroka ny rafozani-vavy, fa Rota kosa nifikitra taminy ihany.
Elevata igitur voce, rursum flere cœperunt, Orpha osculata est socrum, ac reversa est: Ruth adhæsit socrui suæ.
15 Ary hoy izy: Indro ny rahavavinao lasa nody ho any amin’ ny fireneny sy ny andriamaniny ka mba miverena ianao koa hanaraka ny rahavavinao.
cui dixit Noemi: En reversa est cognata tua ad populum suum, et ad deos suos, vade cum ea.
16 Fa hoy Rota: Aza manery ahy handao anao sy hiala amin’ ny fanarahana anao; fa izay alehanao no halehako ary izay itoeranao no hitoerako, ny firenenao no ho fireneko, ary ny Andriamanitrao no ho Andriamanitro;
Quæ respondit: Ne adverseris mihi ut relinquam te et abeam: quocumque enim perrexeris, pergam: et ubi morata fueris, et ego pariter morabor. Populus tuus populus meus, et Deus tuus Deus meus.
17 izay tany hahafatesanao no hahafatesako, sady any koa no handevenana ahy; hataon’ i Jehovah amiko anie izany, eny mihoatra noho izany aza, raha tsy ny fahafatesana ihany no hampisaraka antsika.
Quæ te terra morientem susceperit, in ea moriar: ibique locum accipiam sepulturæ. Hæc mihi faciat Dominus, et hæc addat, si non sola mors me et te separaverit.
18 Ary rehefa hitany fa mbola mikikitra homba azy ihany Rota, dia nitsahatra tsy niteny taminy intsony izy.
Videns ergo Noemi, quod obstinato animo Ruth decrevisset secum pergere, adversari noluit, nec ad suos ultra reditum persuadere:
19 Dia nandeha izy mianaka mandra-pahatongany tany Betlehema. Ary rehefa tonga tany Betlehema izy, dia taitra taminy ny tanàna rehetra, ka hoy ny vehivavy hoe: Naomy va re ity?
profectæque sunt simul, et venerunt in Bethlehem. Quibus urbem ingressis, velox apud cunctos fama percrebruit: dicebantque mulieres: Hæc est illa Noemi.
20 Fa hoy izy taminy: Aza atao hoe Naomy intsony aho, fa ataovy hoe Mara, satria mangidy indrindra ny nataon’ ny Tsitoha amiko.
Quibus ait: Ne vocetis me Noemi (id est, pulchram) sed vocate me Mara (id est, amaram) quia amaritudine valde replevit me Omnipotens.
21 Nivoaka nanam-be aho, fa ampodin’ i Jehovah tsy manana na inona na inona. Nahoana aho no ataonareo hoe Naomy, fa Jehovah efa nitsangan-ko fahavaloko, ary ny Tsitoha efa nampahory ahy?
Egressa sum plena, et vacuam reduxit me Dominus. Cur ergo vocatis me Noemi, quam Dominus humiliavit, et afflixit Omnipotens?
22 Dia niverina Naomy, ary Rota, vehivavy Moabita, vinantoni-vavy, nomba azy tamin’ izy niverina avy tany amin’ ny tany Moaba; dia tonga tao Betlehema izy tamin’ ny niandohan’ ny taom-pijinjana ny vary hordea.
Venit ergo Noemi cum Ruth Moabitide nuru sua, de terra peregrinationis suæ: ac reversa est in Bethlehem, quando primum hordea metebantur.
