< 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.
Naomi had a relative 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!
Ruth the Moabitess said to Naomi, “Let me now go to the field, and glean among the ears of grain after him in whose sight I find favor.” 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.
She went, and came and gleaned in the field after the reapers; and she happened to come to the portion of the field belonging to Boaz, who was of the family 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.
Behold, Boaz came from Bethlehem, and said to the reapers, “May Yahweh be with you.” They answered him, “May Yahweh bless you.”
5 Aa le hoe t’i Boaze amy mpitoro’e nampisarie’e o mpanatakeoy, Ana’ ia o ampelao?
Then Boaz said to his servant who was set over the reapers, “Whose young lady 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:
The servant who was set over the reapers answered, “It is the Moabite lady who came back with Naomi out of 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.
She said, ‘Please let me glean and gather after the reapers among the sheaves.’ So she came, and has continued even from the morning until now, except that she rested 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 Boaz said to Ruth, “Listen, my daughter. Don’t go to glean in another field, and don’t go from here, but stay here close to 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 your eyes be on the field that they reap, and go after them. Haven’t I commanded the young men not to touch you? When you are thirsty, go to the vessels, and drink from 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 favor in your sight, that you should take knowledge of me, since I am a foreigner?”
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.
Boaz answered her, “I have been told all about what you have done for your mother-in-law since the death of your husband, and how you have left your father, your mother, and the land of your birth, and have come to a people that you didn’t know 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.
May Yahweh repay your work, and a full reward be given to you from Yahweh, the God of Israel, under whose wings you have come to take refuge.”
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 favor in your sight, my lord, because you have comforted me, and because you have spoken kindly to your servant, though I am not 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.
At meal time Boaz said to her, “Come here, and eat some bread, and dip your morsel in the vinegar.” She sat beside the reapers, and they passed her parched grain. She ate, was satisfied, and left some of it.
15 Ie niongake hitimpoñe, le hoe t’i Boaze amo ajalahi’eo, Angao re hitimpoñe amo mitoboroñeo, vaho ko onjireñe.
When she had risen up to glean, Boaz commanded his young men, saying, “Let her glean even among the sheaves, and don’t reproach her.
16 Tsongò ho aze ka amo nitoboroñeo, le apoho eo ho timpone’e vaho ko trevoheñe.
Also pull out some for her from the bundles, and leave it. Let her glean, and don’t rebuke her.”
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 she 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.
She took it up, and went into the city. Then her mother-in-law saw what she had gleaned; and she brought out and gave to her that which she had left after she had enough.
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.
Her mother-in-law said to her, “Where have you gleaned today? Where have you worked? Blessed be he who noticed you.” She told her mother-in-law with whom she had worked, “The man’s name with whom I worked today 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.
Naomi said to her daughter-in-law, “May he be blessed by Yahweh, who has not abandoned his kindness to the living and to the dead.” Naomi said to her, “The man is a close relative to us, one of our near 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.
Ruth the Moabitess said, “Yes, he said to me, ‘You shall stay close to my young men until they have finished 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.
Naomi said to Ruth her daughter-in-law, “It is good, my daughter, that you go out with his maidens, and that they not meet you 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 stayed close to the maidens of Boaz, to glean to the end of barley harvest and of wheat harvest; and she lived with her mother-in-law.
