Rota 2
1 Ie amy zao, nanan-dongo amy vali’ey t’i Noomie, ondaty jòmake vaho mpañaleale, fifokoa’ i Elimeleke; Boaze ty tahina’e.
Now Naomi had a relative on her husband's side whose name was Boaz. He was a rich and influential man from the family of Elimelech.
2 Le hoe t’i Rote nte Moabe amy Noomie, Angao homb’ an-teteke mb’eo iraho henaneo, hitimponako, ampanonjohizañe ty hitendrehako fañisohañe am-pahaisaha’e. Aa le hoe re tama’e, Akia, anako!
Soon after Ruth the Moabite said to Naomi, “Please let me go to the fields and pick up grain that's been left behind—if I can find someone will give me permission.” “Yes, go ahead, my daughter,” Naomi replied.
3 Nimb’eo re nitimpoñe, nañorike o mpanatak’ an-tetekeo: vaho tendreke te nivotrak’ añ’ ila’ ty tonda’ i Boaze i tam-pifokoa’ i Elimelekey.
So she went and picked up grain the reapers had left behind. She happened to be working in a field that belonged to Boaz, a relative of Elimelech.
4 Pok’eo amy zao t’i Boaze boake Betlekheme añe, le hoe re amo mpanatakeo, Ho ama’ areo t’Iehovà, le hoe ty natoi’ iereo, Hitahy azo t’Iehovà.
Later on Boaz arrived from Bethlehem, and said to the reapers, “May the Lord be with you!” They replied, “The Lord bless you!”
5 Aa le hoe t’i Boaze amy mpitoro’e nampisarie’e o mpanatakeoy, Ana’ ia o ampelao?
Then Boaz asked his servant who was in charge of the harvesters, “Who is this young woman related to?”
6 Tinoi’ i mpisarim-panatakey ami’ty hoe, Ie i ampela nte Moabe noly atoy nindre amy Noomie boak’an-tane Moabe añey:
“The young woman is a Moabite who came back with Naomi from Moab,” the servant replied.
7 ty hoe ty nata’e: Mihalaly ama’o, ehe apoho iraho hitimpoñe am-pañorihañe o mpanatakeo naho hanontoñe añivo’ o fitoboroña’eo. Aa le nimb’eo animaray re nitoloñe pake henane, naho tsy t’ie nitofa kedekede an-kibohotse ao.
“She asked me, ‘Please may I have permission to pick up grain behind the reapers.’ So she came, and she's been working here from morning until now, except for a brief rest in the shelter.”
8 Aa le hoe t’i Boaze amy Rote, Mahafitsanom-bao, anako? Ko mitimpoñe an-tete’ o ila’eo naho ko iavota’o ty atoy vaho mirampia amo ampelakoo.
Boaz went and spoke to Ruth. “Listen to me, my daughter,” he told her. “Don't leave to go and pick up grain in someone else's field. Stay close to my women.
9 Isaho soa i teteke timpona’ iareoy naho oriho; tsy fa nafàntoko hao o ajalahio tsy hañedre azo? le ie maran-drano, mandenà mb’ amo fitovio vaho minoma amo tinari’ o ajalahioo,
Pay attention to what part of the field the men are reaping and follow the women. I've told the men not to bother you. When you get thirsty, go and have a drink from the water jars the servants have filled.”
10 Nibabok’ an-tarehe’e re, toe nibokok’ an-tane, le nanoa’e ty hoe, Inoñe ty nahatreavako fañisohañe am-pahaoniña’o, t’ie ho haoñe’o, oniñe te renetane?
She bowed down with her face to the ground. “Why are you being so kind to me or even notice me, seeing I'm a foreigner?” she asked him.
11 Nanoiñe aze t’i Boaze nanao ty hoe: fa naborak’ amako ze he’e nanoe’o amy rafoza’o ampelay boak’amy nihomaham-bali’oy; naho t’ie nienga rae naho rene, naho i tane nahatoly azoy, vaho nivotrak’ am’ ondaty nialik’ama’oo.
“I've heard about all you've done for your mother-in-law since your husband died,” Boaz replied. “And also how you left your father and mother, and the land of your birth, to come and live among people you didn't know.
12 Iehovà abey ty hanambe ty fitoloña’o; vaho hañondrok’ azo an-kalifora’e t’Iehovà Andrianañahare’ Israele fa ambane’ o ela’eo ty nomba’o mb’etoa hitsoloke.
May the Lord fully reward you for all you've done—the Lord, the God of Israel, to whom you've come for protection.
13 Aa le hoe re, Ehe t’ie hahatrea fañisohañe am-pahaoniña’o, ry talè, fa nampanintsiñe’o, vaho toe nitaroñe an-tro’ o mpitoro’o ampela toio, ndra te tsy ampanahafeñe ami’ty raik’ amo mpitoro’o ampelao.
Thank you for being so good to me, sir,” she replied. “You have reassured me by speaking to me kindly. I'm not even one of your servants.”
14 Ie am-pikamañe ao, hoe t’i Boaze ama’e, Mb’etoa, mitendrea mofo naho alòño amo vinaigrao ty romo-mofo’o. Nitoboke marine o mpanatakeo re, vaho nanjotsoa’ iareo ampemba tono. Nikama re le nianjañe vaho nanisa.
When it was time to eat, Boaz called her over. “Come here,” he said. “Take some bread and dip it in wine vinegar.” So she sat down with the workers and Boaz passed her some roasted grain to eat. She ate until she'd had enough with some left over.
15 Ie niongake hitimpoñe, le hoe t’i Boaze amo ajalahi’eo, Angao re hitimpoñe amo mitoboroñeo, vaho ko onjireñe.
After Ruth went back to work Boaz told his men, “Let her pick up grain even among the sheaves. Don't say anything to embarrass her.
16 Tsongò ho aze ka amo nitoboroñeo, le apoho eo ho timpone’e vaho ko trevoheñe.
In fact, pull out some stalks from the bundles you're cutting and leave them for her to pick up. Don't tell her off.”
17 Aa le nitimpoñe amy tetekey re ampara’ te hariva; vaho finofo’e i nitimpone’ey le nahaatsake ty efà i ampembay.
Ruth worked in the field until the evening. When she beat out the grain that she had picked up it was a large amount.
18 Rinambe’e naho niheo mb’an-drova mb’eo, le niisa’ i rafoza’e ampelay i tinimpo’ey; nakare’e ka i nasisa’e te nieneñey vaho nazotso’e.
She picked it up and took it back to town to show her mother-in-law how much she had collected. Ruth also gave her what she had left over from her meal.
19 Le hoe i rafoza’e ampelay ama’e, Aia ty nitimpona’o anindroany? Le aia i nitoloña’oy? Ho tahieñe abey i nandrendrek’ azoy. Aa le tinaro’e amy rafoza’e ampelay i nitoloña’ey vaho nanao ty hoe: i Boaze ty tahina’ indaty amy nitoloñakoiy.
Naomi asked her, “Where did you pick up grain today? Exactly where did you work? Bless whoever cared enough about you to pay you some attention!” So she told her mother-in-law about who she had worked with. “The man I worked with today is called Boaz.”
20 Le hoe t’i Noomie amy vinanto’ey, ho tahie’ Iehovà, amy te tsy napo’e ty fatariha’e ke ami’ty veloñe he ami’ty mate. Aa hoe t’i Noomie ama’e: Longo marine antika indatiy, raik’ amo mahajebañe an-tikañeo.
“The Lord bless him!” Naomi exclaimed to her daughter-in-law. “He goes on showing his kindness to the living and the dead. That man is a close relative to us—a ‘family redeemer.’”
21 Le hoe t’i Rote nte Moabe, Eka, inao i asa’e amakoy: Harineo nainai’e o ajalahikoo ampara’ te henefe’ iareo i fitatahañey.
Ruth added, “He also told me, ‘Stay close to my workers until they have finished harvesting my entire crop.’”
22 Aa le hoe t’i Noomie amy Rote vinanto’e, mete, anako, ty indreza’o amo mpitoroñ’ ampela’eo tsy mone ho tsoboreñe t’ie an-tetek’ ila’e añe.
“That's good, my daughter,” Naomi told Ruth. “Stay with his women workers. Don't go to other fields where you might be molested.”
23 Aa le nimanea’e orike o mpitoro-ampela’ i Boazeo, nitimpoñe am-para te niheneke ty fitatahañ’ i ampembay vaho ty fitataham-bare-bolè; ie nimoneñe amy rafoza’e ampelay.
So Ruth stayed with Boaz' women workers picking up grain until the end of the barley harvest, and then on to the end of the wheat harvest. She lived with her mother-in-law the whole time.
