< 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 Naomi had a kinsman of her husband’s, a mighty man of wealth, of the family of Elimelech; and his name was Boaz.
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 Naomi, Let me now go to the field, and glean ears of grain after him in whose sight I shall find grace. And she said to her, Go, my 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 after the reapers: and she happened to come to a part of the field belonging to Boaz, who was 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, Boaz came from Bethlehem, and said to the reapers, The LORD be with you. And they answered him, The LORD bless thee.
5 Aa le hoe t’i Boaze amy mpitoro’e nampisarie’e o mpanatakeoy, Ana’ ia o ampelao?
Then said Boaz to his servant that was set over the reapers, Whose damsel is this?
6 Tinoi’ i mpisarim-panatakey ami’ty hoe, Ie i ampela nte Moabe noly atoy nindre amy Noomie boak’an-tane Moabe añey:
And the servant that was set over the reapers answered and said, It is the Moabitish damsel that came back with Naomi from the country 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 after the reapers among the sheaves: so she came, and hath continued even from the morning until now, that she tarried a little in the house.
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.
Then said Boaz to Ruth, Hearest thou not, my daughter? Go not to glean in another field, neither go from here, but abide here close by my maidens:
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 thy eyes be on the field that they are reaping, and go thou after them: have I not charged the young men that they shall not touch thee? and when thou art thirsty, go to the vessels, and drink of that which the young men 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?
Then she fell on her face, and bowed herself to the ground, and said to him, Why have I found grace in thy eyes, that thou shouldest take knowledge of me, seeing 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 Boaz answered and said to her, It hath fully been shown to me, all that thou hast done to thy mother in law since the death of thy husband: and how thou hast left thy father and thy mother, and the land of thy nativity, and hast come to a people which thou knewest 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 thy work, and a full reward be given thee of the LORD God of Israel, under whose wings thou hast come to trust.
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.
Then she said, Let me find favour in thy sight, my lord; for that thou hast comforted me, and for that thou hast spoken kindly to thy handmaid, though I am not like one of thy handmaidens.
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 Boaz said to her, At mealtime come thou here, and eat of the bread, and dip thy morsel in the vinegar. And she sat beside the reapers: and he reached for her roasted grain, 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 when she had risen to glean, Boaz commanded his young men, saying, Let her glean even among the sheaves, and reproach her not:
16 Tsongò ho aze ka amo nitoboroñeo, le apoho eo ho timpone’e vaho ko trevoheñe.
And let fall also some of the handfuls of purpose for her, and leave them, that she may glean them, 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 until evening, and beat out that which she had gleaned: and it was about an ephah of barley.
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 she brought out, and gave to her what she had reserved after she was satisfied.
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 hast thou gleaned to day? and where hast thou laboured? blessed be he that took knowledge of thee. And she showed her mother in law with whom she had wrought, and said, The man’s name with whom I wrought to day is 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.
And Naomi said to her daughter in law, Blessed be he of the LORD, who hath not withheld his kindness to the living and to the dead. And Naomi said to her, The man is near of kin to us, one of our next kinsmen.
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 the Moabitess said, He said to me also, Thou shalt keep close by my young men, until they have ended all my harvest.
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 Naomi said to Ruth her daughter in law, It is good, my daughter, that thou shouldest go out with his maidens, that they meet thee not in any other 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.
So she kept close by the maidens of Boaz to glean to the end of barley harvest and of wheat harvest; and dwelt with her mother in law.
