< 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.
And Noemin had [a friend] an acquaintance of her husband, and the man [was] a mighty man of the kindred of Elimelech, and his name [was] Booz.
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!
And Ruth the Moabitess said to Noemin, Let me go now to the field, and I will glean among the ears behind the man with whoever I shall find favor: and she said to her, Go, daughter.
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.
And she went; and came and gleaned in the field behind the reapers; and she happened by chance to come on a portion of the land of Booz, of the kindred 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.
And, behold, Booz came from Bethleem, and said to the reapers, The Lord [be] with you: and they said to him, The Lord bless you.
5 Aa le hoe t’i Boaze amy mpitoro’e nampisarie’e o mpanatakeoy, Ana’ ia o ampelao?
And Booz said to his servant who was set over the reapers, Whose [is] this damsel?
6 Tinoi’ i mpisarim-panatakey ami’ty hoe, Ie i ampela nte Moabe noly atoy nindre amy Noomie boak’an-tane Moabe añey:
And his servant who was set over the reapers answered and said, It is the Moabitish damsel who returned with Noemin out of the land of Moab.
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.
And she said, I pray you, let me glean and gather among the sheaves after the reapers: and she came and stood from morning till evening, and rested not [even] a little in the field.
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.
And Booz said to Ruth, Hast you not heard, [my] daughter? go not to glean in another field; and depart not you hence, join yourself here with my damsels.
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,
[Let] your eyes [be] on the field where [my men] shall reap, and you shall go after them: behold, I have charged the young men not to touch you: and when you shall thirst, then you shall go to the vessels, and drink of that which the young men shall have drawn.
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?
And she fell upon her face, and did reverence to the ground, and said to him, How is it that I have found grace in your eyes, that you should take notice of me, whereas I am a stranger?
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.
And Booz answered and said to her, It has fully been told me how you have dealt with your mother-in-law after the death of your husband; and how you did leave your father and your mother, and the land of your birth, and came to a people whom you knew not before.
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.
The Lord recompense your work; may a full reward be given you of the Lord God of Israel, to whom you have come to trust under his wings.
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.
And she said, Let me find grace in your sight, my lord, because you have comforted me, and because you have spoken kindly to your handmaid, and behold, I shall be as 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.
And Booz said to her, Now [it is] time to eat; come here, and you shall eat of the bread, and you shall dip your morsel in the vinegar: and Ruth sat by the side of the reapers: and Booz handed her meal, and she ate, and was satisfied, and left.
15 Ie niongake hitimpoñe, le hoe t’i Boaze amo ajalahi’eo, Angao re hitimpoñe amo mitoboroñeo, vaho ko onjireñe.
And she rose up to glean; and Booz charged his young men, saying, Let her even glean among the sheaves, and reproach her not.
16 Tsongò ho aze ka amo nitoboroñeo, le apoho eo ho timpone’e vaho ko trevoheñe.
And do you by all means carry it for her, and you shall surely let fall for her some of that which is heaped up; and let her eat, and glean, and rebuke her not.
17 Aa le nitimpoñe amy tetekey re ampara’ te hariva; vaho finofo’e i nitimpone’ey le nahaatsake ty efà i ampembay.
So she gleaned in the field till evening, and beat out that she had gleaned, and it was about an ephah of barely.
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.
And she took [it] up, and went into the city: and her mother-in-law saw what she had gleaned, and Ruth brought forth and gave to her the food which she had left from what she had been satisfied with.
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.
And her mother-in-law said to her, Where have you gleaned today, and where have you wrought? blessed be he that took notice of you. And Ruth told her mother-in-law where she [had] wrought, and said, The name of the man with whom I wrought today [is] Booz.
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.
And Noemin said to her daughter-in-law, Blessed is he of the Lord, because he has not failed in his mercy with the living and with the dead: and Noemin said to her, The man is near akin to us, he is one of our relations.
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.
And Ruth said to her mother-in-law, Yes, he said also to me, Keep close to my damsels, until the men shall have finished all my reaping.
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.
And Noemin said to Ruth her daughter-in-law, [It is] well, daughter, that you went out with his damsels; thus they shall not meet you in another field.
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.
And Ruth joined herself to the damsels of Booz to glean until they had finished the barley harvest and the wheat harvest.
