< Rota 3 >

1 Le hoe t’i Noomie rafoza’e ampela ama’e: O anako, tsy hipaiako fitsolohañe hao hañasoañe azo?
And her mother-in-law Naomi says to her, “My daughter, do I not seek rest for you, that it may be well with you?
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 of our acquaintance, with whose young women you have been? Behold, he is winnowing the threshing-floor of barley tonight,
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.
and you have bathed, and anointed yourself, and put your garments on you, and gone down to the threshing-floor; do not let yourself be known to the man until he completes to eat and to drink;
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 comes to pass, when he lies down, that you have known the place where he lies down, and have gone in, and uncovered his feet, and lain down—and he declares to you that which you do.”
5 Le hoe re tama’e: Hanoeko iaby i linaño’o amakoy,
And she says to her, “All that you say—I do.”
6 aa le nizotso mb’ am-pamofohañe mb’eo re nanao i nitoroa’ i rafoza’e ampelaiy.
And she goes down [to] the threshing-floor, and does according to all that her mother-in-law commanded 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 Boaz eats and drinks, and his heart is glad; and he goes in to lie down at the end of the heap; and she comes in gently, and uncovers his feet, and lies down.
8 Ie niantets’ aleñe, nitsekake indatiy le nañorirañe vaho hehe te ampela ty nandre an-tombo’e eo.
And it comes to pass, at the middle of the night, that the man trembles, and turns himself, and behold, a woman is lying 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 says, “Who [are] you?” And she says, “I [am] Ruth your handmaid, and you have spread your skirt over your handmaid, for you [are] a redeemer.”
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 says, “Blessed [are] you of YHWH, my daughter; you have dealt more kindly at the latter end than at the beginning—not to go after the young men, either 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, do not fear, all that you say I do to you, for all the gate of my people knows that you [are] a virtuous woman.
12 Aa le ndra te to t’ie longo mpijebañe, mbe eo ty longo-mpijebañe marine te amako.
And now, surely, true, that I [am] a redeemer, but also there is a redeemer 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.
Lodge tonight, and it has been in the morning, if he redeems you, well: he redeems; and if he does not delight to redeem you, then I have redeemed you—I; YHWH 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 lies down at his feet until the morning, and rises before one discerns another; and he says, “Let it not be known that the woman has come into the 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 says, “Give the covering which [is] on you, and keep hold on it”; and she keeps hold on it, and he measures six [measures] of barley, and lays [it] on her; and he goes 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 she comes to her mother-in-law, and she says, “Who [are] you, my daughter?” And she declares to her all that the man has 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 says, “These six [measures] of barley he has given to me, for he said, You do not go in empty to your 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.
And she says, “Sit still, my daughter, until you know how the matter falls, for the man does not rest except he has completed the matter today.”
