Rota 1
1 Tañ’andro nifehea’ o mpizakao, le nisalikoeñe i taney vaho nitaveañe mb’an-tane Moabe t’i nte-Betlekheme e Iehoda, ie naho i tañanjomba’ey reketse ty ana-dahi’e roe.
And it cometh to pass, in the days of the judging of the judges, that there is a famine in the land, and there goeth a man from Beth-Lehem-Judah to sojourn in the fields of Moab, he, and his wife, and his two sons.
2 I Elimeleke ty tahina’ indatiy naho i Noomie ty tahina’ i vali’ey vaho natao ty hoe Maklone naho Kiliona i ana-dahi’e roe rey. Nte Efratà e Betlekheme Iehoda iereo, nimb’an-tane Moabe mb’eo vaho nitambatse añe.
And the name of the man [is] Elimelech, and the name of his wife Naomi, and the name of his two sons Mahlon and Chilion, Ephrathites from Beth-Lehem-Judah; and they come into the fields of Moab, and are there.
3 Nihomak’ amy zao t’i Elimeleke, vali’ i Noomie; nifary aze naho i ana-dahi’e roe rey
And Elimelech husband of Naomi dieth, and she is left, she and her two sons;
4 ie songa nañenga ampela nte-Moabe ho vali’e; i Orpae ty añara’ty raike naho i Rote ty añara’ ty raike le nimoneñe ao folo taoñe varañe,
and they take to them wives, Moabitesses: the name of the one [is] Orpah, and the name of the second Ruth; and they dwell there about ten years.
5 vaho sindre nihomake t’i Maklone naho i Kiliona, aa le pok’ ana-dahy roe naho i vali’ey i rakembay.
And they die also, both of them — Mahlon and Chilion — and the woman is left of her two children and of her husband.
6 Niongake amy zao re himpoly rekets’ o vinanto’eo boak’ an-tane Moabe añe, amy t’ie nahajanjiñe an-tane Moabe ao te nihaoñe’ Iehovà ondati’eo le fa nifahana’e mahakama.
And she riseth, she and her daughters-in-law, and turneth back from the fields of Moab, for she hath heard in the fields of Moab that God hath looked after His people, — to give to them bread.
7 Aa le niavotse i fimoneña’ey, ie naho i vinanto’e ampela roe rey vaho nionjomb’ an-tane Iehoda mb’eo;
And she goeth out from the place where she hath been, and her two daughters-in-law with her, and they go in the way to turn back unto the land of Judah.
8 le hoe ty asa’ i Noomie amy vinanto’e roe rey, Akia, mimpolia songa mb’ añ’ anjomban-drene’e mb’eo. Hitahy anahareo t’Iehovà mira ami’ty nañasoa’ areo ahy naho i nivilasy rey.
And Naomi saith to her two daughters-in-law, 'Go, turn back, each to the house of her mother; Jehovah doth with you kindness as ye have done with the dead, and with me;
9 Hitolora’ Iehovà abey t’ie songa handrèndreke fañanintsiñe an-kibohom-bali’e ao. Norofa’e amy zao le sindre nangololoike;
Jehovah doth grant to you, and find ye rest each in the house of her husband;' and she kisseth them, and they lift up their voice and weep.
10 vaho hoe ty lie’ iareo aze: Aiy! hindre fimpoly ama’o mb’am’ ondati’oo mb’eo zahay.
And they say to her, 'Surely with thee we go back to thy people.'
11 Hoe ka t’i Noomie, Mibaliha ry anake, aia ty hindreza’ areo lia amako? Mbe aman’ ana-dahy an-koviko ao hao ho valie’ areo indraike?
And Naomi saith, 'Turn back, my daughters; why do ye go with me? are there yet to me sons in my bowels that they have been to you for husbands?
12 Mimpolia ry anako, akia! fa loho bey iraho te hanam-baly. Aa naho nanoeko ty hoe, Amam-pitamàn-draho, naho toe hanam-baly anito haleñe, vaho nahasamake ana-dahy,
Turn back, my daughters, go, for I am too aged to be to a husband; though I had said, There is for me hope, also, I have been to-night to a husband, and also I have borne sons:
13 ho lìñe’ areo hao te añoñ’ay? hifoneña’ areo te tsy hengaeñe? Aiy, ry anako, loho mafaitse amako ty ama’ areo izay, amy te nafote’ Iehovà amako ty fità’e.
for them do ye wait till that they grow up? for them do ye shut yourselves up, not to be to a husband? nay, my daughters, for more bitter to me than to you, for the hand of Jehovah hath gone out against me.'
14 Nirovetse indraike iereo. Norofa’ i Orpae ty rafoza’e fe nipitek’ ama’e t’i Rote.
And they lift up their voice, and weep again, and Orpah kisseth her mother-in-law, and Ruth hath cleaved to her.
15 Aa hoe re, Hehe te nimpoly mb’am’ ondati’eo naho mb’andrahare’e mb’eo ty rañao’o; ehe oriho i rañao’oy.
And she saith, 'Lo, thy sister-in-law hath turned back unto her people, and unto her god, turn thou back after thy sister-in-law.'
16 Fe hoe ty asa’ i Rote: Ko osihe’o hieng’ azo, ndra hibalike tsy hañorihako ka! Ze omba’o hombako, ze imoneña’o himoneñako; ho ondatiko ondati’oo, le ho Andrianañahareko t’i Andrianañahare’o.
And Ruth saith, 'Urge me not to leave thee — to turn back from after thee; for whither thou goest I go, and where thou lodgest I lodge; thy people [is] my people, and thy God my God.
17 Ze ihomaha’o ty hikenkañako, le ao ty hampigodoñañ’ahy. Ee te hanoe’ Iehovà amako vaho lombolombo izay ka, naho tsy ty havilasy avao ty hifampiriañ’ antika!
Where thou diest I die, and there I am buried; thus doth Jehovah to me, and thus doth He add — for death itself doth part between me and thee.'
18 Ie nioni’e te niharoke, te hindre lia ama’e, le tsy nisaontsie’e ka.
And she seeth that she is strengthening herself to go with her, and she ceaseth to speak unto her;
19 Aa le nitrao-pañavelo, ie roe ampara’ te nigodañe e Betlekheme ao. Ie pok’e Betlekheme le namangetseketseke i rovay iaby iereo; le hoe o rakembao: I Noomie hao?
and they go both of them till their coming in to Beth-Lehem; and it cometh to pass at their coming in to Beth-Lehem, that all the city is moved at them, and they say, 'Is this Naomi?'
20 Le hoe re am’ iereo: Ko atao’ areo Noomie ka, te mone Màra ty hanoa’ areo ahy, ty amy hafairañe nanoe’ i El-Sadai amakoy.
And she saith unto them, 'Call me not Naomi; call me Mara, for the Almighty hath dealt very bitterly to me,
21 Nianjan-draho te nionjoñe, fe nampolie’ Iehovà kapaike; ino ty anoa’ areo ahy Noomie kanao nanesek’ ahy t’Iehovà, vaho hankàñe ty nafetsa’ i El-Sadai amako?
I went out full, and empty hath Jehovah brought me back, why do ye call me Naomi, and Jehovah hath testified against me, and the Almighty hath done evil to me?'
22 Aa le nimpoly t’i Noomie rekets’ i Rote nte Moabe vinanto’e nindre-lia ama’e boak’ an-tane Moabe añe, niheo e Betlekheme ao ami’ty fifotoram-pitatahañe vare hordea.
And Naomi turneth back, and Ruth the Moabitess her daughter-in-law with her, who hath turned back from the fields of Moab, and they have come in to Beth-Lehem at the commencement of barley-harvest.
