Ruta 2
1 Noemi imaše rođaka po mužu, čovjeka vrlo imućna, iz porodice Elimelekove: zvao se Boaz.
And Noemin had [a friend] an acquaintance of her husband, and the man [was] a mighty man of the kindred of Elimelech, and his name [was] Booz.
2 Tada Ruta Moapka reče Noemi: “Htjela bih ići u polje pabirčiti klasje za onim u koga nađem milost.” Ona joj odgovori: “Hajde, kćeri moja!”
And Ruth the Moabitess said to Noemin, Let me go now to the field, and I will glean amongst the ears behind the man with whoever I shall find favour: and she said to her, Go, daughter.
3 I ode, dođe u polje te poče pabirčiti za žeteocima. A sreća je dovede u polje koje pripadaše Boazu, iz roda Elimelekova.
And she went; and came and gleaned in the field behind the reapers; and she happened by chance to come on a portion of the land of Booz, of the kindred of Elimelech.
4 I gle, dođe Boaz iz Betlehema. “Jahve bio s vama!” - pozdravi on žeteoce. A oni mu odgovoriše: “Jahve te blagoslovio!”
And, behold, Booz came from Bethleem, and said to the reapers, The Lord [be] with you: and they said to him, The Lord bless you.
5 Boaz će nato momku koji je nadzirao žeteoce: “Čija je ona mlada žena?”
And Booz said to his servant who was set over the reapers, Whose [is] this damsel?
6 A momak koji bijaše nad žeteocima odgovori: “Ono je mlada Moapka što je došla prateći Noemi s Moapskih poljana.
And his servant who was set over the reapers answered and said, It is the Moabitish damsel who returned with Noemin out of the land of Moab.
7 Pitala je: 'Smijem li pabirčiti i kupiti klasje između snopova za žeteocima?' I došla je, eto, i ostala od ranog jutra sve dosad; i samo je malo ušla u kuću.”
And she said, I pray you, let me glean and gather amongst the sheaves after the reapers: and she came and stood from morning till evening, and rested not [even] a little in the field.
8 Onda Boaz reče Ruti: “Čuj me, kćeri moja, ne idi pabirčiti u drugoga nego se drži mojih njiva i mojih poslenika.
And Booz said to Ruth, Hast you not heard, [my] daughter? go not to glean in another field; and depart not you hence, join yourself here with my damsels.
9 Pazi na kojoj njivi oni žanju, pa idi za njima. A naredio sam momcima da te nitko ne dira. Kad ožedniš, idi k posudama i pij što moje sluge zahitaju.”
[Let] your eyes [be] on the field where [my men] shall reap, and you shall go after them: behold, I have charged the young men not to touch you: and when you shall thirst, then you shall go to the vessels, and drink of that which the young men shall have drawn.
10 Ona tada pade ničice, pokloni se do zemlje i reče: “Čime sam stekla toliku milost u očima tvojim da mi posvećuješ pažnju kad sam tuđinka?”
And she fell upon her face, and did reverence to the ground, and said to him, How is it that I have found grace in your eyes, that you should take notice of me, whereas I am a stranger?
11 Boaz joj odgovori: “Čuo sam što si sve učinila za svoju svekrvu poslije smrti svoga muža; kako si ostavila oca svoga, majku svoju i zavičaj svoj te došla u narod kojega do jučer ili prekjučer nisi poznavala.
And Booz answered and said to her, It has fully been told me how you have dealt with your mother-in-law after the death of your husband; and how you did leave your father and your mother, and the land of your birth, and came to a people whom you knew not before.
12 Neka ti Jahve plati sve što si učinila i neka ti udijeli pravu nagradu Jahve, Bog Izraelov, kad si došla da se pod krila njegova skloniš!”
The Lord recompense your work; may a full reward be given you of the Lord God of Israel, to whom you have come to trust under his wings.
13 Ona preuze: “Kad bih mogla uvijek nalaziti milost u tvojim očima, gospodaru, jer si me utješio i milostivo progovorio sluškinji svojoj, ako i nisam kao jedna od tvojih sluškinja.”
And she said, Let me find grace in your sight, my lord, because you have comforted me, and because you have spoken kindly to your handmaid, and behold, I shall be as one of your servants.
14 Kad bijaše vrijeme ručku, Boaz joj reče: “Hodi ovamo, jedi ovog kruha i umoči svoj zalogaj u ocat!” Ona sjede pokraj žetelaca, a on stavi pred nju prženih zrna. Jela je i nasitila se i još joj preteče.
And Booz said to her, Now [it is] time to eat; come here, and you shall eat of the bread, and you shall dip your morsel in the vinegar: and Ruth sat by the side of the reapers: and Booz handed her meal, and she ate, and was satisfied, and left.
15 Kad je ustala da pabirči dalje, Boaz zapovjedi svojim slugama: “I među snopljem neka ona pabirči, a vi joj nemojte zanovijetati.
And she rose up to glean; and Booz charged his young men, saying, Let her even glean amongst the sheaves, and reproach her not.
16 Nego navlaš ispuštajte klasove iz svojih rukoveti i ostavljajte joj neka kÓupi i nemojte je koriti!”
And do you by all means carry it for her, and you shall surely let fall for her some of that which is heaped up; and let her eat, and glean, and rebuke her not.
17 I tako je pabirčila sve do večeri, pa onda ovrše ono što je napabirčila: bijaše otprilike jedna efa ječma.
So she gleaned in the field till evening, and beat out that she had gleaned, and it was about an ephah of barely.
18 Uze ona svoje i dođe u grad, a svekrva vidje koliko je napabirčila. Tada Ruta izvadi i dade joj što joj bijaše preteklo pošto se nasitila.
And she took [it] up, and went into the city: and her mother-in-law saw what she had gleaned, and Ruth brought forth and gave to her the food which she had left from what she had been satisfied with.
19 Svekrva je upita: “Gdje si pabirčila danas? Gdje si radila? Neka je blagoslovljen onaj koji je pogledao na te!” Onda ona pripovjedi svekrvi kod koga je radila i reče: “Čovjek u koga sam danas radila zove se Boaz.”
And her mother-in-law said to her, Where have you gleaned today, and where have you wrought? blessed be he that took notice of you. And Ruth told her mother-in-law where she [had] wrought, and said, The name of the man with whom I wrought today [is] Booz.
20 Tada će Noemi svojoj snasi: “Neka Jahve blagoslovi onoga koji ne uskraćuje dobrote svoje ni živima ni mrtvima!” I dometnu Noemi: “Taj je čovjek naš rod; jedan od naših skrbnika.”
And Noemin said to her daughter-in-law, Blessed is he of the Lord, because he has not failed in his mercy with the living and with the dead: and Noemin said to her, The man is near akin to us, he is one of our relations.
21 Ruta Moapka pripovjedi dalje: “Još mi reče: 'Drži se mojih poslenika dokle ne požanju sve moje!'”
And Ruth said to her mother-in-law, Yes, he said also to me, Keep close to my damsels, until the men shall have finished all my reaping.
22 Noemi nato reče Ruti, snasi svojoj: “Dobro je, kćeri moja, idi za njegovim poslenicima da ti ne bude neprilike na kojoj drugoj njivi.”
And Noemin said to Ruth her daughter-in-law, [It is] well, daughter, that you went out with his damsels; thus they shall not meet you in another field.
23 I tako se držala poslenika Boazovih i pabirčila dokle ne požeše i ječam i pšenicu. I živjela je kod svekrve svoje.
And Ruth joined herself to the damsels of Booz to glean until they had finished the barley harvest and the wheat harvest.
