¹[Ny nitsimponan'i Rota salohim-bary teny an-tanimbarin'i Boaza, sy ny soa nataon'i Boaza taminy] Ary nisy havan'ny vadin'i Naomy avy amin'ny fokon'i Elimeleka, lehilahy mpanjatobe, Boaza no anarany.

¹Naomi had a kinsman of her husband’s, a mighty man of wealth, of the family of Elimelech, and his name was Boaz.

²Ary 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.

²Ruth the Moabitess said to Naomi, “Let me now go to the field, and glean among the ears of grain after him in whose sight I shall find favor.” She said to her, “Go, my daughter.”

³Dia 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.

³She went, and came and gleaned in the field after the reapers: and she happened to come to the portion of the field belonging to Boaz, who was of the family of Elimelech.

⁴Ary, 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.

⁴Behold, Boaz came from Bethlehem, and said to the reapers, “Yahweh be with you.” They answered him, “Yahweh bless you.”

⁵Dia hoy Boaza tamin'ny zatovony, izay nitandrina ny mpijinja: Zanak'iza moa io zazavavy io?

⁵Then Boaz said to his servant who was set over the reapers, “Whose young lady is this?”

⁶Dia namaly ilay zatovo nitandrina ny mpijinja ka nanao hoe: Zazavavy Moabita, izay niverina nomba an'i Naomy avy tany amin'ny tany Moaba io;

⁶The servant who was set over the reapers answered, “It is the Moabite lady who came back with Naomi out of the country of Moab.

⁷fa 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.

⁷She said, ‘Please let me glean and gather after the reapers among the sheaves.’ So she came, and has continued even from the morning until now, except that she stayed a little in the house.”

⁸Dia 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.

⁸Then Boaz said to Ruth, “Listen, my daughter. Don’t go to glean in another field, and don’t go from here, but stay here close to my maidens.

⁹Aoka 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.

⁹Let your eyes be on the field that they reap, and go after them. Haven’t I commanded the young men not to touch you? When you are thirsty, go to the vessels, and drink from that which the young men have drawn.”

¹⁰Dia 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?

¹⁰Then she fell on her face, and bowed herself to the ground, and said to him, “Why have I found favor in your sight, that you should take knowledge of me, since I am a foreigner?”

¹¹Dia 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.

¹¹Boaz answered her, “It has fully been shown me, all that you have done to your mother-in-law since the death of your husband; and how you have left your father and your mother, and the land of your birth, and have come to a people that you didn’t know before.

¹²Hamaly ny nataonao anie Jehovah. ka homen'i Jehovah, Andriamanitry ny Isiraely, valim-pitia lehibe anie ianao, satria avy hialoka eo ambanin'ny elany ianao.

¹²May Yahweh repay your work, and a full reward be given you from Yahweh, the God of Israel, under whose wings you have come to take refuge.”

¹³Dia 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.

¹³Then she said, “Let me find favor in your sight, my lord, because you have comforted me, and because you have spoken kindly to your handmaid, though I am not as one of your handmaidens.”

¹⁴Ary 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.

¹⁴At meal time Boaz said to her, “Come here, and eat of the bread, and dip your morsel in the vinegar.” She sat beside the reapers, and they reached her parched grain, and she ate, and was satisfied, and left some of it.

¹⁵Ary 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.

¹⁵When she had risen up to glean, Boaz commanded his young men, saying, “Let her glean even among the sheaves, and don’t reproach her.

¹⁶Ary asio latsadatsaka avy amin'ny amboara, ka avelao ireny hotsimponiny, fa aza raràna izy.

¹⁶Also pull out some for her from the bundles, and leave it, and let her glean, and don’t rebuke her.”

¹⁷Ary nitsimpona tany an-tsaha mandra-paharivan'ny andro Rota, dia nively izay efa voatsimpony, ka nisy vary hordea tokony ho iray efaha.

¹⁷So she gleaned in the field until evening; and she beat out that which she had gleaned, and it was about an ephah 1 ephah is about 22 litres or about 2/3 of a bushel of barley.

¹⁸Dia 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.

¹⁸She took it up, and went into the city; and her mother-in-law saw what she had gleaned: and she brought out and gave to her that which she had left after she was sufficed.

¹⁹Dia 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

¹⁹Her mother-in-law said to her, “Where have you gleaned today? Where have you worked? Blessed be he who noticed you.” She showed her mother-in-law with whom she had worked, and said, “The man’s name with whom I worked today is Boaz.”

²⁰Dia 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.

²⁰Naomi said to her daughter-in-law, “Blessed be he of Yahweh, who has not left off his kindness to the living and to the dead.” Naomi said to her, “The man is a close relative to us, one of our near kinsmen.”

²¹Ary hoy Rota, vehivavy Moabita: Izao koa no nataony tamiko: Mitoera tsara eo anilan'ny zatovoko ianao mandra-pahatapitry ny fijinjana.

²¹Ruth the Moabitess said, “Yes, he said to me, ‘You shall stay close to my young men, until they have ended all my harvest.’”

²²Ary 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.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.

²²Naomi said to Ruth her daughter-in-law, “It is good, my daughter, that you go out with his maidens, and that they not meet you in any other field.”

²³Ary 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.

²³So she stayed close to the maidens of Boaz, to glean to the end of barley harvest and of wheat harvest; and she lived with her mother-in-law.
