Ruta 2
1 Noemi imaše rođaka po mužu, čovjeka vrlo imućna, iz porodice Elimelekove: zvao se Boaz.
And Naomi hath an acquaintance of her husband's, a man mighty in wealth, of the family of Elimelech, and his name [is] Boaz.
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 saith unto Naomi, 'Let me go, I pray thee, into the field, and I gather among the ears of corn after him in whose eyes I find grace;' and she saith to her, 'Go, my 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 goeth and cometh and gathereth in a field after the reapers, and her chance happeneth — the portion of the field is Boaz's who [is] of the family of Elimelech.
4 I gle, dođe Boaz iz Betlehema. “Jahve bio s vama!” - pozdravi on žeteoce. A oni mu odgovoriše: “Jahve te blagoslovio!”
And lo, Boaz hath come from Beth-Lehem, and saith to the reapers, 'Jehovah [is] with you;' and they say to him, 'Jehovah doth bless thee.'
5 Boaz će nato momku koji je nadzirao žeteoce: “Čija je ona mlada žena?”
And Boaz saith to his young man who is set over the reapers, 'Whose [is] this young person?'
6 A momak koji bijaše nad žeteocima odgovori: “Ono je mlada Moapka što je došla prateći Noemi s Moapskih poljana.
And the young man who is set over the reapers answereth and saith, 'A young woman — Moabitess — she [is], who came back with Naomi from the fields 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 saith, Let me glean, I pray thee — and I have gathered among the sheaves after the reapers; and she cometh and remaineth since the morning and till now; she sat in the house a little.
8 Onda Boaz reče Ruti: “Čuj me, kćeri moja, ne idi pabirčiti u drugoga nego se drži mojih njiva i mojih poslenika.
And Boaz saith unto Ruth, 'Hast thou not heard, my daughter? go not to glean in another field, and also, pass not over from this, and thus thou dost cleave to my young women:
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.”
thine eyes [are] on the field which they reap, and thou hast gone after them; have not I charged the young men not to touch thee? when thou art athirst then thou hast gone unto the vessels, and hast drunk from that which the young men draw.'
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 falleth on her face, and boweth herself to the earth, and saith unto him, 'Wherefore have I found grace in thine eyes, to discern me, and I 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 Boaz answereth and saith to her, 'It hath thoroughly been declared to me all that thou hast done with thy mother-in-law, after the death of thy husband, and thou dost leave thy father, and thy mother, and the land of thy birth, and dost come in unto a people which thou hast not known heretofore.
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!”
Jehovah doth recompense thy work, and thy reward is complete from Jehovah, God of Israel, under whose wings thou hast come to take refuge.'
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 saith, 'Let me find grace in thine eyes, my lord, because thou hast comforted me, and because thou hast spoken unto the heart of thy maid-servant, and I — I am not as one of thy maid-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 Boaz saith to her, 'At meal-time come nigh hither, and thou hast eaten of the bread, and dipped thy morsel in the vinegar.' And she sitteth at the side of the reapers, and he reacheth to her roasted corn, and she eateth, and is satisfied, and leaveth.
15 Kad je ustala da pabirči dalje, Boaz zapovjedi svojim slugama: “I među snopljem neka ona pabirči, a vi joj nemojte zanovijetati.
And she riseth to glean, and Boaz chargeth his young men, saying, 'Even between the sheaves she doth glean, and ye do not cause her to blush;
16 Nego navlaš ispuštajte klasove iz svojih rukoveti i ostavljajte joj neka kÓupi i nemojte je koriti!”
and also ye do surely cast to her of the handfuls — and have left, and she hath gleaned, and ye do not push against her.'
17 I tako je pabirčila sve do večeri, pa onda ovrše ono što je napabirčila: bijaše otprilike jedna efa ječma.
And she gleaneth in the field till the evening, and beateth out that which she hath gleaned, and it is about an ephah of barley;
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 taketh [it] up, and goeth into the city, and her mother-in-law seeth that which she hath gleaned, and she bringeth out and giveth to her that which she left from her satiety.
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 saith to her, 'Where hast thou gleaned to-day? and where hast thou wrought? may he who is discerning thee be blessed.' And she declareth to her mother-in-law with whom she hath wrought, and saith, 'The name of the man with whom I have wrought to-day [is] Boaz.'
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 Naomi saith to her daughter-in-law, 'Blessed [is] he of Jehovah who hath not forsaken His kindness with the living and with the dead;' and Naomi saith to her, 'The man is a relation of ours; he [is] of our redeemers.'
21 Ruta Moapka pripovjedi dalje: “Još mi reče: 'Drži se mojih poslenika dokle ne požanju sve moje!'”
And Ruth the Moabitess saith, 'Also he surely said unto me, Near the young people whom I have thou dost cleave till they have completed the whole of the harvest which I have.'
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 Naomi saith unto Ruth her daughter-in-law, 'Good, my daughter, that thou goest out with his young women, and they come not against thee 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 she cleaveth to the young women of Boaz to glean, till the completion of the barley-harvest, and of the wheat-harvest, and she dwelleth with her mother-in-law.
