Rota 3
1 Le hoe t’i Noomie rafoza’e ampela ama’e: O anako, tsy hipaiako fitsolohañe hao hañasoañe azo?
And Naomi her mother-in-law said to her, My daughter, shall I not seek rest for thee, that it may be well with thee?
2 Aa tsy longon-tikañe hao t’i Boaze nindreza’o amo mpitoroñ-ampela’eoy? Hamofoke vare-hordea an-tane famofohañe eo re te haleñe.
And now is not Boaz our kinsman, with whose maidens thou were? Behold, he winnows barley tonight in the threshing-floor.
3 Aa le miandroa irehe, naho mihosora, naho aombeo ty saro’o soa, vaho mizotsoa mb’ an-tane-pamofohañe mb’eo, fe ko ampandrendrehe’o aze, ampara’ t’ie anjañe mahakama naho rano.
Wash thyself therefore, and anoint thee, and put thy raiment upon thee, and get thee down to the threshing-floor. But do not make thyself known to the man until he shall have done eating and drinking.
4 Ie amy zao, naho màndre re, isaho i andrea’ey, le iziliho; afaho ty am-pandia’e eo, le mandrea eo, vaho ho saontsie’e ama’o ty hanoe’o.
And it shall be, when he lies down, that thou shall notice the place where he shall lie. And thou shall go in, and uncover his feet, and lie thee down. And he will tell thee what thou shall do.
5 Le hoe re tama’e: Hanoeko iaby i linaño’o amakoy,
And she said to her, All that thou say I will do.
6 aa le nizotso mb’ am-pamofohañe mb’eo re nanao i nitoroa’ i rafoza’e ampelaiy.
And she went down to the threshing-floor, and did according to all that her mother-in-law bade her.
7 Ie fa nikama naho ninoñe t’i Boaze, vaho nifale ty tro’e, le niavotse handre añ’ila’ ty fitoboroñam-bare ey; nipiapia mb’eo re nañafake ty am-pandia’e vaho nandre eo.
And when Boaz had eaten and drunk, and his heart was merry, he went to lie down at the end of the heap of grain. And she came softly, and uncovered his feet, and laid down.
8 Ie niantets’ aleñe, nitsekake indatiy le nañorirañe vaho hehe te ampela ty nandre an-tombo’e eo.
And it came to pass at midnight, that the man was startled, and turned himself, and, behold, a woman lay at his feet.
9 Aa hoe re, Ia v’iheo? Le hoe re, I Rote mpitoro’o ampelay; ehe, alafiho amo mpitoro-ampela’oo ty saro’o amy t’ie longo mahafijebañe.
And he said, Who are thou? And she answered, I am Ruth thy handmaid. Spread therefore thy skirt over thy handmaid, for thou are a near kinsman.
10 Le hoe re, Ho tahie’ Iehovà irehe, anako; lombolombo te amy fatariha’o am-baloha’ey ty fatariha’o am-para’e, amy te tsy norihe’o o ajalahio ke t’ie mpañarivo he te rarake.
And he said, Blessed be thou of Jehovah, my daughter. Thou have shown more kindness in the latter end than at the beginning, inasmuch as thou did not follow young men, whether poor or rich.
11 Ie amy zao, anako, ko hembañe, fa hene hanoeko ama’o i vinola’oy; fa fohi’ i fivori’ ondaty an-dalambey iabiy te ampela vañon-drehe.
And now, my daughter, fear not. I will do to thee all that thou say, for all the city of my people know that thou are a worthy woman.
12 Aa le ndra te to t’ie longo mpijebañe, mbe eo ty longo-mpijebañe marine te amako.
And now it is true that I am a near kinsman. However there is a kinsman nearer than I.
13 Eo hey irehe ami’ty haleñe toy le ie maraiñe, naho mete hijebañe azo re, angao hijebañe, fa naho tsy mete hijebañ’ azo, le kanao veloñe t’Iehovà, izaho ty hijebañe; mandrea ampara’ te maraindray.
Remain this night, and it shall be in the morning that if he will perform to thee the part of a kinsman, well; let him do the kinsman's part. But if he will not do the part of a kinsman to thee, then I will do the part of a kinsman to thee, as Jehovah lives. Lie down until the morning.
14 Aa le nandre am-pandia’e eo re ampara’ te niporea’ ty maraindray; vaho nañaleñaleñe aolo’ ty hahafifankaoniña’ ondaty, ie fa niaontsy ty hoe: Ao tsy hapota’ ondaty te niheo am-pamofohañe atoy ty ampela.
And she lay at his feet until the morning. And she rose up before one could discern another. For he said, Let it not be known that the woman came to the threshing-floor.
15 Le hoe re, Tano o sarom-pikolopofa’oo, naho atantezo; le vinela’e naho narane’e ama’e ty vare-hordea enem-pañaranañe, le nampilolohaze’e vaho niavotse mb’ an-drova mb’eo.
And he said, Bring the mantle that is upon thee, and hold it. And she held it, and he measured six measures of barley, and laid it on her, and he went into the city.
16 Aa hoe ty asa’ i rafoza’e ampelay tama’e t’ie pok’eo, Akore henaneo, anako? le natalili’e ama’e i nanoa’ indatiy azey,
And when she came to her mother-in-law, she said, Who are thou, my daughter? And she told her all that the man had done to her.
17 vaho hoe re: Natolo’e ahy o vare-hordea fañaranañe eneñe toañe ami’ty hoe, Ko mimpoly mañomaño mb’ aman-drafoza’o ampela ao.
And she said, He gave me these six measures of barley, for he said, Go not empty to thy mother-in-law.
18 Le hoe re, Eo hey anako, ampara’ te fohi’o ty figadoña’e; fa tsy hitofa indatiy ampara’ te henefe’e anito i rahay.
Then she said, Sit still, my daughter, until thou know how the matter will fall, for the man will not rest until he has finished the thing this day.
