Rút 3
1 Řekla jí potom Noémi svegruše její: Má dcero, nemám-liž pohledati tobě odpočinutí, aby tobě dobře bylo?
One day, Naomi said to Ruth, “My daughter, I think that I should [RHQ] try to arrange for you to have a husband [MTY] who will (take care of/provide for) you.
2 Anobrž zdaliž Bóz ten příbuzný náš, s jehož jsi děvečkami byla, nebude víti ječmene na humně noci této?
Boaz, the man with whose [servant] girls you have been [gathering grain], is a close relative [of our dead husbands]. Listen [carefully]. Tonight he will be at the ground where [the barley has] been threshed. He will be separating the barley grain from the chaff.
3 Protož umej se a pomaž, roucho své také oblec, a jdi na humno, však tak, aby nebylo známé muži tomu, prvé než by přestal jísti a píti.
Bathe yourself and put on some perfume. Put on your [best] clothes. Then go down to the ground where they have threshed [the grain]. But do not let Boaz know that you are there while he is eating [supper] and drinking.
4 A když půjde ležeti, znamenej místo, na kterémž lehne, a přijduc, pozdvihneš pláště u noh jeho, a tu se položíš; on pak oznámí tobě, co bys měla činiti.
[When he has finished eating], notice where he lies down to sleep. Then [when he is asleep], take the blanket off his feet and lie [close to his feet]. [When he wakes up], he will tell you what to do.”
5 Jížto Rut řekla: Cokoli mi rozkážeš, učiním.
Ruth replied, “I will do everything that you have told me [to do].”
6 Šla tedy na to humno, a učinila všecko, což jí rozkázala svegruše její.
So she went down to the ground where they had threshed [the barley grain]. There she did everything that her mother-in-law had told her [to do].
7 Když pak pojedl Bóz a napil se, a rozveselilo se srdce jeho, šel spáti vedlé stohu; přišla i ona tiše, a pozdvihši pláště u noh jeho, položila se.
When Boaz finished eating [supper] and drinking [wine], he felt happy. Then he went over to the far end of the pile of grain. He lay down [and went to sleep]. Then Ruth approached him quietly. She took the blanket off his feet and lay down [there].
8 A když bylo o půl noci, ulekl se muž ten a zchopil se, a aj, žena leží u noh jeho.
In the middle of the night, he suddenly awoke. He sat up and saw that a woman was lying at his feet.
9 I řekl: Kdo jsi ty? A ona odpověděla: Já jsem Rut, děvka tvá. Vztáhni křídlo pláště svého na děvku svou, nebo příbuzný jsi.
He asked her, “Who are you?” She replied, “I am your servant, Ruth. Since you are the one who has a responsibility to take care of [someone like me whose dead husband was] your close relative, spread the corner of your cloak over my [feet to show that you will marry me].”
10 A on řekl: Požehnaná jsi ty od Hospodina, dcero má. Větší jsi nyní pobožnosti dokázala, nežli prvé, že jsi nehledala mládenců bohatých aneb chudých.
Boaz replied, “Young lady, I hope that Yahweh will (bless/be kind to) you! You have acted kindly [toward your mother-in-law], and now you are acting even more kindly [toward me by wanting to marry me, instead of wanting to marry a young man]. You have not looked for either a rich young man or a poor young man, [to marry him].
11 Protož nyní, dcero má, neboj se; vše, čehož žádáš, učiním tobě, nebo víť všecko město lidu mého, že jsi ty žena šlechetná.
Now, young lady, I will do everything you ask. Don’t worry [that people in this town might think I am doing wrong by marrying you because you are a woman from Moab]. All the people in this town know that you are an honorable woman.
12 A také jest to pravé, že jsem příbuzný tvůj, ale jestiť příbuzný bližší nežli já.
But [there is one problem]. Although it is true that I am a close relative [of your mother-in-law’s dead husband], there is another man who is a closer relative [than I am], and therefore he should be the one to [marry you and] take care of you.
13 Odpočiniž tu přes noc, a když bude ráno, jestližeť on bude chtíti práva příbuznosti k tobě užiti, dobře, nechť užive. Pakliť nebude chtíti práva užiti k tobě, já právem příbuznosti pojmu tebe, živť jest Hospodin. Spiž tu až do jitra.
You stay here for the rest of this night. Tomorrow morning [I will tell this man about you]. If he says that he will [marry you and] take care of you, fine, [we will] let him do that. But if he is not willing [to do that], I solemnly promise that as surely as Yahweh lives, I will [marry you and] take care of you. So lie/sleep here until it is morning.”
14 A tak spala u noh jeho až do jitra. Potom vstala prvé, nežli by kdo poznati mohl bližního svého; nebo pečoval Bóz, aby někdo nezvěděl, že přišla žena ta na humno.
So she lay at his feet until morning. But she got up and left before it was light enough that people would be able to recognize her, because Boaz said, “I do not want anyone to know that a woman was here.”
15 A řekl: Přines loktušku, kterouž se odíváš, a drž ji. A když ji držela, naměřiv jí šest měr ječmene, vložil na ni. I vešla do města.
He also said to her, “Bring to me your cloak and spread it out.” When she did that, he poured into it six measures/24 liters/50 pounds of barley, and put in on her back. Then he (OR, she) went back to the town.
16 A přišla k svegruši své. Kteráž řekla: Kdo jsi ty, dcero má? I vypravovala jí všecko, což jí učinil muž ten.
When Ruth arrived home, her mother-in-law asked her, “My daughter, how did (things go/Boaz act toward you)?” Then Ruth told her everything that Boaz had done for her [and said to her].
17 A řekla: Šest měr těchto ječmene dal mi, nebo řekl ke mně: Nenavrátíš se prázdná k svegruši své.
She also said [to Naomi], “He gave me all this barley, saying ‘I do not want you to return to your mother-in-law empty-handed.’”
18 I řekla jí Noémi: Počekej, dcero má, až porozumíš, jak to padne; neboť neobleví muž ten, až tu věc dnes k místu přivede.
Then Naomi said, “My daughter, just wait until we see what happens. [I am sure that] Boaz will take care of [LIT] the matter [of your marriage]. [LIT]”
