< Rota 2 >

1 Ary nisy havan’ ny vadin’ i Naomy avy amin’ ny fokon’ i Elimeleka, lehilahy mpanjatobe, Boaza no anarany.
Then Naomis husband had a kinsman, one of great power of the familie of Elimelech, and his name was Boaz.
2 Ary hoy Rota, vehivavy Moabita, tamin’ i Naomy: Aoka aho hankany an-tsaha mba hitsimpona salohim-bary eo aorian’ izay hahitako fitia eo imasony. Dia hoy izy taminy: Andeha ary, anaka.
And Ruth ye Moabitesse said vnto Naomi, I pray thee, Let mee goe to the fielde, and gather eares of corne after him, in whose sight I finde fauour. And she said vnto her, Goe my daughter.
3 Dia lasa nandeha izy ka nitsimpona tany an-tsaha teo aorian’ ny mpijinja; ary sendra tonga tany amin’ ny tanimbarin’ i Boaza, izay avy amin’ ny fokon’ i Elimeleka, izy.
And she went, and came and gleaned in the fielde after the reapers, and it came to passe, that she met with the portion of the fielde of Boaz, who was of the familie of Elimelech.
4 Ary, indro, Boaza tonga avy tany Betlehema ka niteny tamin’ ny mpijinja hoe: Jehovah anie ho aminareo. Dia hoy kosa Ireo taminy: Hitahy anao anie Jehovah.
And behold, Boaz came from Beth-lehem, and saide vnto the reapers, The Lord be with you: and they answered him, The Lord blesse thee.
5 Dia hoy Boaza tamin’ ny zatovony, izay nitandrina ny mpijinja: Zanak’ iza moa io zazavavy io?
Then saide Boaz vnto his seruant that was appointed ouer the reapers, Whose maide is this?
6 Dia namaly ilay zatovo nitandrina ny mpijinja ka nanao hoe: Zazavavy Moabita, izay niverina nomba an’ i Naomy avy tany amin’ ny tany Moaba io;
And the seruant that was appointed ouer the reapers, answered, and said, It is the Moabitish maide, that came with Naomi out of the countrey of Moab:
7 fa hoy izy: Masìna ianao aoka aho hitsimpona sy hanangona eo aorian’ ny mpijinja eny anelanelan’ ny amboara; dia tonga izy ka nijanona teto hatramin’ ny maraina ka mandraka ankehitriny; kely foana no nitoerany tao an-trano.
And shee saide vnto vs, I pray you, let mee gleane and gather after the reapers among the sheaues: so shee came, and hath continued from that time in the morning vnto now, saue that she taried a litle in the house.
8 Dia hoy Boaza tamin’ i Rota: Tsy mandre va ianao, anaka? Aza mandeha hitsimpona any an-tanimbary hafa na miala eto ianao, fa mitoera eto anilan’ ny zatovovavy.
Then said Boaz vnto Ruth, Hearest thou, my daughter? goe to none other fielde to gather, neither goe from hence: but abide here by my maydens.
9 Aoka ny masonao ho amin’ ny tanimbary izay jinjany, ka manaraha eo aoriany ianao: tsy efa nodidiako va ny zatovo tsy haninona anao? Ary raha mangetaheta ianao, mankanesa eroa amin’ ny siny, ka misotroa amin’ izay antsakain’ ny zatovo.
Let thine eyes be on the field that they do reape, and goe thou after the maidens. Haue I not charged the seruants, that they touche thee not? Moreouer whe thou art a thirst, go vnto ye vessels, and drinke of that which ye seruants haue drawen.
10 Dia niondrika sy niankohoka tamin’ ny tany Rota ka nanao taminy hoe: Ahoana no mba ahitako fitia eto imasonao sy itsinjovanao ahy, nefa vahiny ihany aho?
Then shee fell on her face, and bowed her selfe to the ground, and said vnto him, How haue I found fauour in thine eyes, that thou shouldest know me, seeing I am a stranger?
11 Dia namaly Boaza ka nanao taminy hoe: Efa reko tsara izay rehetra nataonao tamin’ ny rafozanao-vavy hatrizay nahafatesan’ ny vadinao sy ny nahafoizanao ny rainao sy ny reninao mbamin’ ny tany nahaterahanao sy nankanesanao atỳ amin’ ny firenena tsy mbola fantatrao.
And Boaz answered, and said vnto her, All is told and shewed me that thou hast done vnto thy mother in lawe, since the death of thine husband, and how thou hast left thy father and thy mother, and ye land where thou wast borne, and art come vnto a people which thou knewest not in time past.
12 Hamaly ny nataonao anie Jehovah, ka homen’ i Jehovah, Andriamanitry ny Isiraely, valim-pitia lehibe anie ianao, satria avy hialoka eo ambanin’ ny elany ianao.
The Lord recompense thy worke, and a ful reward be giuen thee of the Lord God of Israel, vnder whose wings thou art come to trust.
13 Dia hoy Izy: Aoka hahita fitia eo imasonao aho, tompokolahy; fa efa nampifaly ahy ianao, ary efa niteny mora tamin’ ny zatovovavinao, na dia tsy tahaka ny anankiray amin’ ny zatovovavinao aza aho.
Then she saide, Let me finde fauour in thy sight, my lord: for thou hast comforted mee, and spoken comfortably vnto thy mayde, though I be not like to one of thy maydes.
14 Ary rehefa tonga ny fotoam-pisakafoana, dia hoy Boaza taminy: Mankanesa atỳ, ka mihinàna mofo, ary atsobohy amin’ ny vinaingitra ny sombi-mofonao. Dia nipetraka teo anilan’ ny mpijinja izy; ary nangalan-dralehilahy lango izy, dia nihinana ka voky, ary nisy sisa tsy laniny aza.
And Boaz said vnto her, At the meale time come thou hither, and eat of the bread, and dippe thy morsell in the vineger. And she sate beside the reapers, and hee reached her parched corne: and shee did eate, and was sufficed, and left thereof.
15 Ary raha nitsangana hitsimpona izy, dia nodidian’ i Boaza ny ankizilahiny hoe: Aoka izy hitsimpona na dia eny anelanelan’ ny amboara aza, ka aza maninona azy.
And when she arose to gleane, Boaz commanded his seruants, saying, Let her gather among the sheaues, and doe not rebuke her.
16 Ary asio latsadatsaka avy amin’ ny amboara, ka avelao ireny hotsimponiny, fa aza raràna izy.
Also let fall some of the sheaues for her, and let it lie, that she may gather it vp, and rebuke her not.
17 Ary nitsimpona tany an-tsaha mandra-paharivan’ ny andro Rota, dia nively izay efa voatsimpony, ka nisy vary hordea tokony ho iray efaha.
So she gleaned in the fielde vntill euening, and she thresshed that shee had gathered, and it was about an Ephah of barly.
18 Dia nentiny izany, ka nankany an-tanàna izy, ary hitan’ ny rafozani-vavy izay efa voatsimpony; ary navoakany koa ilay sisa tsy laniny tamin’ ny nisakafoany ka nomeny ny rafozany.
And she tooke it vp, and went into the citie, and her mother in law saw what she had gathered: Also she tooke foorth, and gaue to her that which she had reserued, when she was sufficed.
19 Dia hoy ny rafozanivavy taminy: Taiza no nitsimponanao androany, ary taiza no nanaovanao? Hotahina anie izay nitsinjo anao. Dia nambarany tamin’ ny rafozani-vavy izay efa nitsimponany ka hoy izy: Boaza no anaran’ ny lehilahy, izay tompon’ ny tanimbary nitsimponako androany
Then her mother in lawe saide vnto her, Where hast thou gleaned to day? and where wroughtest thou? blessed be he, that knewe thee. And she shewed her mother in lawe, with whome she had wrought, and saide, The mans name, with whom I wrought to day, is Boaz.
20 Dia hoy Naomy tamin’ ny vinantonivavy: Hotahin’ i Jehovah anie izay tsy nitsahatra hanao soa amin’ ny velona sy ny maty. Ary hoy koa Naomy taminy: Havantsika akaiky ihany ralehilahy, ka isan’ izay mahavotra antsika izy.
And Naomi said vnto her daughter in law, Blessed be he of the Lord: for he ceaseth not to doe good to the liuing and to the dead. Againe Naomi saide vnto her, The man is neere vnto vs, and of our affinitie.
21 Ary hoy Rota, vehivavy Moabita: Izao koa no nataony tamiko: Mitoera tsara eo anilan’ ny zatovoko ianao mandra-pahatapitry ny fijinjana.
And Ruth the Moabitesse said, He said also certainely vnto mee, Thou shalt be with my seruants, vntill they haue ended all mine haruest.
22 Ary hoy Naomy tamin’ i Rota vinantoni-vavy: Tsara izany, anaka, raha miara-mivoaka amin’ ny ankizivavy ianao, fandrao hisy haninona anao raha any an-tsaha hafa.
And Naomi answered vnto Ruth her daughter in lawe, It is best, my daughter, that thou goe out with his maides, that they meete thee not in an other fielde.
23 Ary izy tsy nety nisaraka tamin’ ny zatovovavin’ i Boaza, fa nitsimpona mandra-pahatapitry ny fijinjana ny vary hordea sy ny vary tritika; ary nitoetra tao amin’ ny rafozani-vavy Izy.
Then she kept her by the maides of Boaz, to gather vnto the end of barly haruest, and of wheate haruest, and dwelt with her mother in lawe.
