Rota 4
1 Ie amy zay, nionjom-ban-dalambey mb’eo t’i Boaze le niambesatse vaho inge niary eo i longo-mpijebañe nisaontsie’ i Boazey, le hoe re tama’e, O, koahe! miviha, miambesara etoa. Aa le nivike mb’eo re niambesatse.
And Boaz went up to the public place of the town, and took his seat there: and the near relation of whom he had been talking came by; and Boaz, crying out to him by name, said, Come and be seated here. And he came and was seated.
2 Nedre’e amy zao ty androanavy folo’ i rovay vaho natao’e ty hoe: Miambesara atoy. Le niambesatse iereo.
Then he got ten of the responsible men of the town, and said, Be seated here. And they took their seats.
3 Le hoe re amy longo-mpijebañey: Fa nivotrak’ atoy t’i Noomie boak’an-tane-Moabe añe, le fa haleta’e ty tane’ i Elimeleke rahalahin-tikañey,
Then he said to the near relation, Naomi, who has come back from the country of Moab, is offering for a price that bit of land which was our brother Elimelech's:
4 le nataoko ho soa ty hampiboahako ama’o, ami’ ty hoe; Kalò añatrefa’ o miambesatse etoañeo aolo’ o androanavi’ ondatikoo. Aa naho ho jebañe’o le jebaño; fa naho tsy hijebañañe le saontsio, ho fantako; fa tsy eo ty hijebañe aze naho tsy ihe; le izaho ty manonjohy. Le hoe re: Ho jebañeko.
And it was in my mind to give you the chance of taking it, with the approval of those seated here and of the responsible men of my people. If you are ready to do what it is right for a relation to do, then do it: but if you will not do it, say so to me now; for there is no one who has the right to do it but you, and after you myself. And he said, I will do it.
5 Aa hoe t’i Boaze: Amy andro ivilia’o am-pità’ i Noomie i taney, tsy ho nikaloe’o ka hao t’i Rote nte Moabe, vali’ i nihomakey, hampitroara’o amy lova’ey ty tahina’ i nivilasiy?
Then Boaz said, On the day when you take this field, you will have to take with it Ruth, the Moabitess, the wife of the dead, so that you may keep the name of the dead living in his heritage.
6 Aa hoe i longo-mpijebañey, Tsy lefeko ty hijebañe aze ho ahiko, tsy mone hampiantoeko ty lovako; aa le rambeso ty zom-pijebañañe; fa tsy meteko ty hijebañe aze.
And the near relation said, I am not able to do the relation's part, for fear of damaging the heritage I have: you may do it in my place, for I am not able to do it myself.
7 Zao ty nililitse taolo e Israele ao t’ie nanao fijebañañe ndra fanakaloañe, hañatò ze he’e: Afaha’ t’indaty ty hana’e vaho atolo’e am’ondatio; izay ty fitaliliañe e Israele ao.
Now, in earlier times this was the way in Israel when property was taken over by a near relation, or when there was a change of owner. To make the exchange certain one man took off his shoe and gave it to the other; and this was a witness in Israel.
8 Aa ie nanao ty hoe amy Boaze i longo-mpijebañey: Vilio ho azo, le nafaha’e i hana’ey.
So the near relation said to Boaz, Take it for yourself. And he took off his shoe.
9 Le hoe ty enta’ i Boaze amo androanavio: Valolombeloñe nahareo androany te viniliko am-pità’ i Noomie ze a i Elimeleke iaby naho ze hene vara’ i Kiliona naho i Malone,
Then Boaz said to the responsible men and to all the people, You are witnesses today that I have taken at a price from Naomi all the property which was Elimelech's, and everything which was Chilion's and Mahlon's.
10 mbore fa mandrambe i Rote nte Moabe, vali’ i Maklone, ho valiko hampitroarako an-dova’e ty tahina’ i nihomakey, tsy havitsok’ amo rahalahi’eo, ndra an-dalambey i toe’ey ty tahina’ i nihomakey. Valolombeloñe nahareo henane zao.
And, further, I have taken Ruth, the Moabitess, who was the wife of Mahlon, to be my wife, to keep the name of the dead man living in his heritage, so that his name may not be cut off from among his countrymen, and from the memory of his town: you are witnesses this day.
11 Aa le songa nanao ty hoe o androanavy naho ondaty an-dalambeio, Eka, valolombeloñe zahay. Ehe te hampanahafe’ Iehovà amy Rakele naho i Leàe i rakemba niheo añ’anjomba’oy, i roe nandranjy ty anjomba’ Israele rey; hanarànake e Efratà irehe vaho hanan-tahinañe e Betlekheme ao;
And all the people who were in the public place, and the responsible men, said, We are witnesses. May the Lord make this woman, who is about to come into your house, like Rachel and Leah, which two were the builders of the house of Israel: and may you have wealth in Ephrathah, and be great in Beth-lehem;
12 le ee te ho hambañe amy anjomba’ i Peretse nasama’ i Tamare ho a Iehodày, i tiry hatolo’ Iehovà azo añamy rakemba tora’eiy.
May your family be like the family of Perez, the son whom Tamar gave to Judah, from the offspring which the Lord may give you by this young woman.
13 Aa le nengae’ i Boaze t’i Rote, ie ty tañ’anjomba’e; aa ie nimoak’ ama’e le nampiareñe’ Iehovà vaho nahatoly ana-dahy.
So Boaz took Ruth and she became his wife; and he went in to her, and the Lord made her with child and she gave birth to a son.
14 Le hoe o rakembao amy Noomie: Andriañeñe t’Iehovà, te tsy nifarie’e tsy ho amam-pijeban-drehe, lonike te ho arofoanañe e Israele ao ty tahina’e.
And the women said to Naomi, A blessing on the Lord, who has not let you be this day without a near relation, and may his name be great in Israel.
15 T’ie ho fampisotrafen-kavelo’o, hameloñe ty haantera’o; fa toe lombolombo’ ty ana-dahy fito i vinanto’o mikoko azo nisamak’ azey.
He will be a giver of new life to you, and your comforter when you are old, for your daughter-in-law, who, in her love for you, is better than seven sons, has given birth to him.
16 Aa le rinambe’ i Noomie i anak’ ajajay naho notroñe’e añ’araña’e eo, vaho ie ty nimpampinono aze.
And Naomi took the child and put her arms round it, and she took care of it.
17 Le o rakemba rañe’eo ro nañomey aze ty añara’e, ami’ty hoe: Nahatoly ana-dahy t’i Noomie; le natao’ iereo Ovede; ie ty rae’ Iisaý, rae’ i Davide.
And the women who were her neighbours gave it a name, saying, Naomi has a child; and they gave him the name of Obed: he is the father of Jesse, the father of David.
18 Zao o tarira’ i Pèretseo; nisamake i Ketsrone t’i Pèretse;
Now these are the generations of Perez: Perez became the father of Hezron;
19 le nisamake i Rame t’i Ketsrone; le nisamake i Aminadabe t’Rame;
And Hezron became the father of Ram, and Ram became the father of Amminadab;
20 le nisamake i Naksone t’i Aminadabe, naho nisamake i Salmà t’i Naksone
And Amminadab became the father of Nahshon, and Nahshon became the father of Salmon;
21 le nisamake i Boaze t’i Salmà; vaho nisamake i Ovede t’i Boaze,
And Salmon became the father of Boaz, and Boaz became the father of Obed;
22 le nisamake Iisaý t’i Ovede, le nisamahe’ Iisaý t’i Davide.
And Obed became the father of Jesse, and Jesse became the father of David.
