Ruth 2
1 And Naomi had a kinsman of her husband's, a mighty man of wealth, of the family of Elimelech, and his name was Boaz.
Noemi imaše rođaka po mužu, čovjeka vrlo imućna, iz porodice Elimelekove: zvao se Boaz.
2 And Ruth the Moabitess said to Naomi, Let me now go to the field, and glean among the ears of grain after him in whose sight I shall find favor. And she said to her, Go, my daughter.
Tada Ruta Moapka reče Noemi: “Htjela bih ići u polje pabirčiti klasje za onim u koga nađem milost.” Ona joj odgovori: “Hajde, kćeri moja!”
3 And she went, and came and gleaned in the field after the reapers. And her chance was to land on the portion of the field belonging to Boaz, who was of the family of Elimelech.
I ode, dođe u polje te poče pabirčiti za žeteocima. A sreća je dovede u polje koje pripadaše Boazu, iz roda Elimelekova.
4 And, behold, Boaz came from Bethlehem, and said to the reapers, Jehovah be with you. And they answered him, Jehovah bless thee.
I gle, dođe Boaz iz Betlehema. “Jahve bio s vama!” - pozdravi on žeteoce. A oni mu odgovoriše: “Jahve te blagoslovio!”
5 Then Boaz said to his servant who was set over the reapers, Whose damsel is this?
Boaz će nato momku koji je nadzirao žeteoce: “Čija je ona mlada žena?”
6 And the servant who was set over the reapers answered and said, It is the Moabite damsel who came back with Naomi out of the country of Moab.
A momak koji bijaše nad žeteocima odgovori: “Ono je mlada Moapka što je došla prateći Noemi s Moapskih poljana.
7 And she said, Let me glean, I pray you, and gather behind the reapers among the sheaves. So she came, and has continued even from the morning until now, except that she tarried a little in the house.
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.”
8 Then Boaz said to Ruth, Do thou not hear, my daughter? Go not to glean in another field, neither pass from here, but abide here close by my maidens.
Onda Boaz reče Ruti: “Čuj me, kćeri moja, ne idi pabirčiti u drugoga nego se drži mojih njiva i mojih poslenika.
9 Let thine eyes be on the field that they reap, and go thou after them. Have I not charged the young men that they shall not touch thee? And when thou are thirsty, go to the vessels, and drink of that which the young men have drawn.
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.”
10 Then she fell on her face, and bowed herself to the ground, and said to him, Why have I found favor in thy sight that thou should take knowledge of me, seeing I am a foreigner?
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?”
11 And Boaz answered and said to her, It has been fully shown me all that thou have done to thy mother-in-law since the death of thy husband, and how thou have left thy father and thy mother, and the land of thy nativity, and have come to a people that thou knew not formerly.
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.
12 Jehovah recompense thy work, and a full reward be given thee of Jehovah, the God of Israel, under whose wings thou have come to take refuge.
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!”
13 Then she said, Let me find favor in thy sight, my lord, because thou have comforted me, and because thou have spoken kindly to thy handmaid, though I be not as one of thy handmaidens.
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.”
14 And at mealtime Boaz said to her, Come here, and eat of the bread, and dip thy morsel in the vinegar. And she sat beside the reapers, and they passed her parched grain, and she ate, and was satisfied, and left of it.
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.
15 And when she arose up to glean, Boaz commanded his young men, saying, Let her glean even among the sheaves, and do not reproach her.
Kad je ustala da pabirči dalje, Boaz zapovjedi svojim slugama: “I među snopljem neka ona pabirči, a vi joj nemojte zanovijetati.
16 And also pull out some for her from the bundles, and leave it, and let her glean, and do not rebuke her.
Nego navlaš ispuštajte klasove iz svojih rukoveti i ostavljajte joj neka kÓupi i nemojte je koriti!”
17 So she gleaned in the field until evening. And she beat out that which she had gleaned, and it was about an ephah of barley.
I tako je pabirčila sve do večeri, pa onda ovrše ono što je napabirčila: bijaše otprilike jedna efa ječma.
18 And she took it up, and went into the city, and her mother-in-law saw what she had gleaned. And she brought forth and gave to her that which she had left after she was satisfied.
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.
19 And her mother-in-law said to her, Where have thou gleaned today? And where have thou worked? Blessed be he who took knowledge of thee. And she showed her mother-in-law with whom she had worked, and said, The man's name with whom I worked today is Boaz.
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.”
20 And Naomi said to her daughter-in-law, Blessed be he of Jehovah who has not left off his kindness to the living and to the dead. And Naomi said to her, The man is near of kin to us, one of our near kinsmen.
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.”
21 And Ruth the Moabitess said, Yes, he said to me, Thou shall keep close by my young men until they have ended all my harvest.
Ruta Moapka pripovjedi dalje: “Još mi reče: 'Drži se mojih poslenika dokle ne požanju sve moje!'”
22 And Naomi said to Ruth her daughter-in-law, It is good, my daughter, that thou go out with his maidens, and that they not meet thee in any other field.
Noemi nato reče Ruti, snasi svojoj: “Dobro je, kćeri moja, idi za njegovim poslenicima da ti ne bude neprilike na kojoj drugoj njivi.”
23 So she kept close by the maidens of Boaz, to glean to the end of barley harvest and of wheat harvest. And she dwelt with her mother-in-law.
I tako se držala poslenika Boazovih i pabirčila dokle ne požeše i ječam i pšenicu. I živjela je kod svekrve svoje.
