< Rota 1 >
1 Tañ’andro nifehea’ o mpizakao, le nisalikoeñe i taney vaho nitaveañe mb’an-tane Moabe t’i nte-Betlekheme e Iehoda, ie naho i tañanjomba’ey reketse ty ana-dahi’e roe.
And it came to pass in the days when the judges judged, that there was a famine in the land: and there went a certain man of Beth-lechem-judah to sojourn in the fields of Moab, he, and his wife, and his two sons.
2 I Elimeleke ty tahina’ indatiy naho i Noomie ty tahina’ i vali’ey vaho natao ty hoe Maklone naho Kiliona i ana-dahi’e roe rey. Nte Efratà e Betlekheme Iehoda iereo, nimb’an-tane Moabe mb’eo vaho nitambatse añe.
And the name of the man was Elimelech, and the name of his wife Na'omi, and the name of his two sons Machlon and Kilyon, Ephrathites of Beth-lechem-judah. And they came into the fields of Moab, and remained there.
3 Nihomak’ amy zao t’i Elimeleke, vali’ i Noomie; nifary aze naho i ana-dahi’e roe rey
Thereupon died Elimelech Na'omi's husband; and she was left, with her two sons.
4 ie songa nañenga ampela nte-Moabe ho vali’e; i Orpae ty añara’ty raike naho i Rote ty añara’ ty raike le nimoneñe ao folo taoñe varañe,
And they took themselves wives of the women of Moab; the name of one was 'Orpah, and the name of the other Ruth: and they dwelt there about ten years.
5 vaho sindre nihomake t’i Maklone naho i Kiliona, aa le pok’ ana-dahy roe naho i vali’ey i rakembay.
And then died also both of these, Machlon and Kilyon, and the woman was left [deprived] of her two children and her husband.
6 Niongake amy zao re himpoly rekets’ o vinanto’eo boak’ an-tane Moabe añe, amy t’ie nahajanjiñe an-tane Moabe ao te nihaoñe’ Iehovà ondati’eo le fa nifahana’e mahakama.
Then did she arise with her daughters-in-law, and returned homeward from the fields of Moab; for she had heard in the fields of Moab that the Lord had thought of his people in giving them bread.
7 Aa le niavotse i fimoneña’ey, ie naho i vinanto’e ampela roe rey vaho nionjomb’ an-tane Iehoda mb’eo;
Therefore she went forth out of the place where she had been, and her two daughters-in-law [were] with her; and they went on their way to return unto the land of Judah.
8 le hoe ty asa’ i Noomie amy vinanto’e roe rey, Akia, mimpolia songa mb’ añ’ anjomban-drene’e mb’eo. Hitahy anahareo t’Iehovà mira ami’ty nañasoa’ areo ahy naho i nivilasy rey.
Then said Na'omi unto her two daughters-in-law, Go, return each one to her mother's house: may the Lord deal kindly with you, as ye have dealt with the dead, and with me.
9 Hitolora’ Iehovà abey t’ie songa handrèndreke fañanintsiñe an-kibohom-bali’e ao. Norofa’e amy zao le sindre nangololoike;
May the Lord grant unto you that ye may find rest, each one in the house of her husband. Then she kissed them, and they lifted up their voice, and wept.
10 vaho hoe ty lie’ iareo aze: Aiy! hindre fimpoly ama’o mb’am’ ondati’oo mb’eo zahay.
And they said unto her, [No, ] for truly we will return with thee unto thy people.
11 Hoe ka t’i Noomie, Mibaliha ry anake, aia ty hindreza’ areo lia amako? Mbe aman’ ana-dahy an-koviko ao hao ho valie’ areo indraike?
Then said Na'omi, Return back, my daughters; why will ye go with me? are there yet any more sons in my womb, that they may become your husbands?
12 Mimpolia ry anako, akia! fa loho bey iraho te hanam-baly. Aa naho nanoeko ty hoe, Amam-pitamàn-draho, naho toe hanam-baly anito haleñe, vaho nahasamake ana-dahy,
Return back, my daughters, go; for I am too old to become [the wife] of any man; yea, if I were even to think, I have hope; should I even obtain this night a husband, and should also bear sons:
13 ho lìñe’ areo hao te añoñ’ay? hifoneña’ areo te tsy hengaeñe? Aiy, ry anako, loho mafaitse amako ty ama’ areo izay, amy te nafote’ Iehovà amako ty fità’e.
Would ye wait in hopes for them till they were grown? would ye debar yourselves for them so as not to become the wives of any man? not so, my daughters; for I feel much more bitter pain than you; because the hand of the Lord is gone out against me.
14 Nirovetse indraike iereo. Norofa’ i Orpae ty rafoza’e fe nipitek’ ama’e t’i Rote.
And they lifted up their voice and wept a long time; and Orpah kissed her mother-in-law; but Ruth cleaved unto her.
15 Aa hoe re, Hehe te nimpoly mb’am’ ondati’eo naho mb’andrahare’e mb’eo ty rañao’o; ehe oriho i rañao’oy.
And she said, Behold, thy sister-in-law is returned back unto her people, and unto her gods; return thou after thy sister-in-law.
16 Fe hoe ty asa’ i Rote: Ko osihe’o hieng’ azo, ndra hibalike tsy hañorihako ka! Ze omba’o hombako, ze imoneña’o himoneñako; ho ondatiko ondati’oo, le ho Andrianañahareko t’i Andrianañahare’o.
But Ruth said, Urge me not to leave thee, to return from following thee; for whither thou goest, will I go; and where thou lodgest, will I lodge; thy people shall be my people, and thy God my God.
17 Ze ihomaha’o ty hikenkañako, le ao ty hampigodoñañ’ahy. Ee te hanoe’ Iehovà amako vaho lombolombo izay ka, naho tsy ty havilasy avao ty hifampiriañ’ antika!
Where thou diest, will I die, and there will I be buried; may the Lord do so to me, and may he so continue, if aught but death shall part me from thee.
18 Ie nioni’e te niharoke, te hindre lia ama’e, le tsy nisaontsie’e ka.
When she thus saw that she was persisting to go with her, she left off speaking unto her.
19 Aa le nitrao-pañavelo, ie roe ampara’ te nigodañe e Betlekheme ao. Ie pok’e Betlekheme le namangetseketseke i rovay iaby iereo; le hoe o rakembao: I Noomie hao?
So these two went until they came to Beth-lechem. And it came to pass, when they entered Beth-lechem, that all the city was in commotion about them, and people said, Is this Na'omi?
20 Le hoe re am’ iereo: Ko atao’ areo Noomie ka, te mone Màra ty hanoa’ areo ahy, ty amy hafairañe nanoe’ i El-Sadai amakoy.
And she said unto them, Call me not Na'omi, call me Mara; for the Almighty hath dealt very bitterly with me.
21 Nianjan-draho te nionjoñe, fe nampolie’ Iehovà kapaike; ino ty anoa’ areo ahy Noomie kanao nanesek’ ahy t’Iehovà, vaho hankàñe ty nafetsa’ i El-Sadai amako?
I went out full, but empty hath the Lord brought me home again; why then will ye call me Na'omi, seeing the Lord hath testified against me, and the Almighty hath sent me affliction?
22 Aa le nimpoly t’i Noomie rekets’ i Rote nte Moabe vinanto’e nindre-lia ama’e boak’ an-tane Moabe añe, niheo e Betlekheme ao ami’ty fifotoram-pitatahañe vare hordea.
So did Na'omi return, and Ruth the Moabitess, her daughter-in-law, with her, who had returned out of the fields of Moab; and they came to Beth-lechem at the beginning of the barley-harvest.
