Ruth 4

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.

Then went Boaz up to the gate, and sat him down there: and, behold, the kinsman of whom Boaz spake came by; unto whom he said, Ho, such a one! turn aside, sit down here. And he turned aside, and sat down.

Dia naka folo lahy tamin'ny loholona tao an-tanàna Boaza ka nanao hoe: Mipetraha eto ianareo. Dia nipetraka ireo.

And he took ten men of the elders of the city, and said, Sit ye down here. And they sat down.

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 he said unto the kinsman, Naomi, that is come again out of the country of Moab, selleth a parcel of land, which was our brother Elimelech's:

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 thought to advertise thee, saying, Buy it before the inhabitants, and before the elders of my people. If thou wilt redeem it, redeem it: but if thou wilt not redeem it, then tell me, that I may know: for there is none to redeem it beside thee; and I am after thee. And he said, I will redeem it.

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.

Then said Boaz, What day thou buyest the field of the hand of Naomi, thou must buy it also of Ruth the Moabitess, the wife of the dead, to raise up the name of the dead upon his inheritance.

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 cannot redeem it for myself, lest I mar mine own inheritance: redeem thou my right to thyself; for I cannot redeem it.

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.

Now this was the manner in former time in Israel concerning redeeming and concerning changing, for to confirm all things; a man plucked off his shoe, and gave it to his neighbour: and this was a testimony in Israel.

Ary hoy ilay havana mahavotra tamin'i Boaza: Vidio ho anao izany. Dia nanaisotra ny kirarony izy.

Therefore the kinsman said unto Boaz, Buy it for thee. So he drew off his shoe.

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 Boaz said unto the elders, and unto all the people, Ye are witnesses this day, that I have bought all that was Elimelech's, and all that was Chilion's and Mahlon's, of the hand of Naomi.

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 Ruth the Moabitess, the wife of Mahlon, have I purchased to be my wife, to raise up the name of the dead upon his inheritance, that the name of the dead be not cut off from among his brethren, and from the gate of his place: ye are witnesses this day.

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 that were in the gate, and the elders, said, We are witnesses. The LORD make the woman that is come into thine house like Rachel and like Leah, which two did build the house of Israel: and do thou worthily in Ephratah, and be famous in Beth–lehem:

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 like the house of Pharez, whom Tamar bare unto Judah, of the seed which the LORD shall give thee of this young woman.

Ary Boaza dia nampakatra an'i Rota ka nanambady azy; ary Jehovah nampanan'anaka azy, ka niteraka zazalahy izy.

So Boaz took Ruth, and she was his wife: and when he went in unto her, the LORD gave her conception, and she bare a son.

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 women said unto Naomi, Blessed be the LORD, which hath not left thee this day without a kinsman, that his name may be famous in Israel.

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 unto thee a restorer of thy life, and a nourisher of thine old age: for thy daughter in law, which loveth thee, which is better to thee than seven sons, hath born him.

Dia nandray ny zaza Naomy ka nitrotro azy, dia tonga mpitaiza azy.

And Naomi took the child, and laid it in her bosom, and became nurse unto it.

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 women her neighbours gave it a name, saying, There is a son born to Naomi; and they called his name Obed: he is the father of Jesse, the father of David.

Ary izao no taranak'i Fareza: Fareza niteraka an'i Hezrona;

Now these are the generations of Pharez: Pharez begat Hezron,

ary Hezrona niteraka an'i Rama; ary Rama niteraka an'i Aminadaba;

And Hezron begat Ram, and Ram begat Amminadab,

ary Aminadaba niteraka an'i Nasona; ary Nasona niteraka an'i Salmona;

And Amminadab begat Nahshon, and Nahshon begat Salmon,

ary Salmona niteraka an'i Boaza; ary Boaza niteraka an'i Obeda;

And Salmon begat Boaz, and Boaz begat Obed,

ary Obeda niteraka an'i Jese; ary Jese niteraka an'i Davida.

And Obed begat Jesse, and Jesse begat David.
