Rota 4
1 Ary rehefa tafakatra teo am-bavahady Boaza ka nipetraka teo, dia, indro, nandalo ilay havana mahavotra voalazany, dia hoy Boaza: Ranona iry ô! maitia kely ange; mipetraha eto. Dia nanatona izy ka nipetraka.
And Booz went up to the gate, and sat there; and behold, the relative passed by, of whom Booz spoke: and Booz said to him, Turn aside, sit down here, such a one: and he turned aside and sat down.
2 Dia naka folo lahy tamin’ ny loholona tao an-tanàna Boaza ka nanao hoe: Mipetraha eto ianareo. Dia nipetraka ireo.
And Booz took ten men of the elders of the city, and said, Sit ye here; and they sat down.
3 Dia niteny tamin’ Ilay havana akaiky izy ka nanao hoe: Naomy, izay niverina avy tany amin’ ny tany Moaba, dia mivarotra ny tany izay an’ i Elimeleka rahalahintsika.
And Booz said to the relative, [The matter regards] the portion of the field which was our brother Elimelech's which was given to Noemin, now returning out of the land of Moab;
4 Ary izaho nikasa hampandre anao hoe: Vidio eto anatrehan’ izay mipetraka eto sy eto anatrehan’ ny loholona amin’ ny fireneko izany. Raha hanavotra ianao, dia avoty; fa raha tàhiny tsy hanavotra ianao, dia lazao amiko mba ho fantatro; fa tsy misy tokony hanavotra afa-tsy ianao, ary izaho no manarakaraka anao. Ary hoy izy: Hanavotra ihany aho.
and I said, I will inform thee, saying, Buy it before those that sit, and before the elders of my people: if thou wilt redeem it, redeem it, but if thou wilt not redeem it, tell me, and I shall know; for there is no one beside thee to do the office of a kinsman, and I am after thee: and he said, I am [here], I will redeem it.
5 Dia hoy Boaza: Amin’ izay andro ividiananao ny tany amin’ ny tànan’ i Naomy, dia amin’ i Rota koa, vehivavy Moabita, vadin’ ny maty, no hividiananao azy, mba hamelo-maso ny anaran’ ny maty ao amin’ ny lovany ianao.
And Booz said, In the day of thy buying the field of the hand of Noemin and of Ruth the Moabitess the wife of the deceased, thou must also buy her, so as to raise up the name of the dead upon his inheritance.
6 Fa hoy ilay havana mahavotra: Tsia, tsy mahazo manavotra ho an’ ny tenako aho, fandrao mahasimba ny lovako; avoty ihany ho anao ny ahy, fa tsy mahavotra aho.
And the kinsman said, I shall not be able to redeem it for myself, lest I mar my own inheritance; do thou redeem my right for thyself, for I shall not be able to redeem [it].
7 Ary ny amin’ ny fanavotana sy ny fanakalozana teo amin’ ny Isiraely fahiny hahamafy ny teny rehetra dia izao: nesorin’ ny lehilahy ny kirarony ka nomeny ho an’ ny namany; dia vavolombelona teo amin’ ny Isiraely izany.
And this [was] in former time the ordinance in Israel for redemption, and for a bargain, to confirm every word: A man loosed his shoe, and gave it to his neighbour that redeemed his right; and this was a testimony in Israel.
8 Ary hoy ilay havana mahavotra tamin’ i Boaza: Vidio ho anao izany. Dia nanaisotra ny kirarony izy.
And the kinsman said to Booz, Buy my right for thyself: and he took off his shoe and gave it to him.
9 Ary hoy Boaza tamin’ ny loholona sy ny vahoaka rehetra: Hianareo no vavolombelona androany fa efa novidiko tamin’ ny tànan’ i Naomy izay rehetra an’ i Elimeleka sy izay rehetra an’ i Kiliona sy Malona.
And Booz said to the elders and to all the people, Ye [are] this day witnesses, that I have bought all that was Elimelech's, and all that belonged to Chelaion and Maalon, of the hand of Noemin.
10 Ary Rota koa, vehivavy Moabita, vadin’ i Malona, dia lasako ho vadiko hamelo-maso ny anaran’ ny maty ao amin’ ny lovany, mba tsy ho faty maso ny anaran’ ny maty eo amin’ ny rahalahiny sy eo amin’ ny vavahadin’ ny fonenany; ianareo no vavolombelona androany.
Moreover I have bought for myself for a wife Ruth the Moabitess, the wife of Maalon, to raise up the name of the dead upon his inheritance; so the name of the dead shall not be destroyed from among his brethren, and from the tribe of his people: ye [are] this day witnesses.
11 Dia hoy ny vahoaka rehetra izay teo amin’ ny vavahady sy ny loholona: Eny, vavolombelona izahay; hataon’ i Jehovah tahaka an’ i Rahely sy tahaka an’ i Lea anie izay vehivavy efa ho tonga ao an-tranonao; fa izy roa vavy no nanangana ny tranon’ ny Isiraely; ary aoka ho lehibe any Efrata anie ianao, ary halaza any Betlehema anie ny anaranao;
And all the people who were in the gate said, [We are] witnesses: and the elders said, The Lord make thy wife who goes into thy house, as Rachel and as Lia, who both [together] built the house of Israel, and wrought mightily in Ephratha, and there shall be a name [to thee] in Bethleem.
12 ary ho tahaka ny taranak’ i Fareza, izay naterak’ i Tamara tamin’ i Joda, anie ny taranakao avy amin’ ny zanaka izay homen’ i Jehovah anao amin’ ity vehivavy ity.
And let thy house be as the house of Phares, whom Thamar bore to Juda, of the seed which the Lord shall give thee of this handmaid.
13 Ary Boaza dia nampakatra an’ i Rota ka nanambady azy; ary Jehovah nampanan’ anaka azy, ka niteraka zazalahy izy.
And Booz took Ruth, and she became his wife, and he went in to her; and the Lord gave her conception, and she bore a son.
14 Ary hoy ireo vehivavy tamin’ i Naomy: Isaorana anie Jehovah, Izay tsy namela anao androany tsy hanan-kavana mahavotra, ary aoka halaza ny anarany eo amin’ ny Isiraely.
And the woman said to Noemin, Blessed [is] the Lord, who has not suffered a redeemer to fail thee this day, even to make thy name famous in Israel.
15 Dia hamelona ny ainao sy hitaiza anao izy, rehefa antitra ianao; fa niteraka azy ny vinantonaovavy, izay tia anao, ilay tsara lavitra aminao mihoatra noho ny zanaka fito lahy.
And he shall be to thee a restorer of thy soul, and one to cherish thy old age; for thy daughter-in-law which has loved thee, who is better to thee than seven sons, has born him.
16 Dia nandray ny zaza Naomy ka nitrotro azy, dia tonga mpitaiza azy.
And Noemin took the child and laid it in her bosom, and became a nurse to it.
17 Ary ny vehivavy namany nifidy ny anarany ka nanao hoe: Misy zazalahy teraka ho an’ i Naomy; ary ny anarany nataony hoe Obeda; izy no rain’ i Jese, rain’ i Davida.
And the neighbours gave it a name, saying, A son has been born to Noemin; and they called his name Obed; this [is] the father of Jessae the father of David.
18 Ary izao no taranak’ i Fareza: Fareza niteraka an’ i Hezrona;
And these [are] the generations of Phares: Phares begot Esrom:
19 ary Hezrona niteraka an’ i Rama; ary Rama niteraka an’ i Aminadaba;
Esrom begot Aram; and Aram begot Aminadab.
20 ary Aminadaba niteraka an’ i Nasona; ary Nasona niteraka an’ i Salmona;
And Aminadab begot Naasson; and Naasson begot Salmon.
21 ary Salmona niteraka an’ i Boaza; ary Boaza niteraka an’ i Obeda;
And Salmon begot Booz; and Booz begot Obed.
22 ary Obeda niteraka an’ i Jese; ary Jese niteraka an’ i Davida.
And Obed begot Jessae; and Jessae begot David.
