Ruth 1
1 In the days when the judges ruled, there was a famine in the land. And a certain man from Bethlehem in Judah, with his wife and two sons, went to reside in the land of Moab.
A u ono vrijeme kad suðahu sudije bi glad u zemlji; i jedan èovjek iz Vitlejema Judina otide da živi kao došljak u zemlji Moavskoj sa ženom svojom i sa dva sina svoja.
2 The man’s name was Elimelech, his wife’s name was Naomi, and the names of his two sons were Mahlon and Chilion. They were Ephrathites from Bethlehem in Judah, and they entered the land of Moab and settled there.
A ime tomu èovjeku bješe Elimeleh, a ženi mu ime Nojemina, a imena dvojice sinova njegovijeh Malon i Heleon; i bijahu Efraæani, iz Vitlejema Judina; i doðoše u zemlju Moavsku i nastaniše se ondje.
3 Then Naomi’s husband Elimelech died, and she was left with her two sons,
Potom umrije Elimeleh muž Nojeminin i ona osta sa dva sina svoja.
4 who took Moabite women as their wives, one named Orpah and the other named Ruth. And after they had lived in Moab about ten years,
Oni se oženiše Moavkama: jednoj bješe ime Orfa a drugoj Ruta; i ondje stajahu do deset godina.
5 both Mahlon and Chilion also died, and Naomi was left without her two sons and without her husband.
Potom umriješe obojica, Malon i Heleon; i žena osta bez dva sina svoja i bez muža svojega.
6 When Naomi heard in Moab that the LORD had attended to His people by providing them with food, she and her daughters-in-law prepared to leave the land of Moab.
Tada se ona podiže sa snahama svojima da se vrati iz zemlje Moavske, jer èu u zemlji Moavskoj da je Gospod pohodio narod svoj davši im hljeba.
7 Accompanied by her two daughters-in-law, she left the place where she had been living and set out on the road leading back to the land of Judah.
I izide iz mjesta gdje bijaše, i obje snahe njezine s njom; poðoše putem da se vrate u zemlju Judinu.
8 Then Naomi said to her two daughters-in-law, “Go back, each of you to your mother’s home. May the LORD show you loving devotion, as you have shown to your dead and to me.
Tada reèe Nojemina objema snahama svojima: idite, vratite se svaka u dom matere svoje; Gospod neka vam uèini milost kao što vi uèiniste umrlima i meni.
9 May the LORD enable each of you to find rest in the home of your new husband.” And she kissed them as they wept aloud
Da vam da Gospod da naðete poèinak svaka u domu muža svojega. I poljubi ih; a one povikavši zaplakaše,
10 and said, “Surely we will return with you to your people.”
I rekoše joj: ne, nego æemo se s tobom vratiti u tvoj narod.
11 But Naomi replied, “Return home, my daughters. Why would you go with me? Are there still sons in my womb to become your husbands?
A Nojemina im reèe: idite natrag, kæeri moje; što biste išle sa mnom? zar æu još imati sinova u utrobi svojoj da vam budu muževi?
12 Return home, my daughters. Go on, for I am too old to have another husband. Even if I thought there was hope for me to have a husband tonight and to bear sons,
Vratite se, kæeri moje, idite; jer sam ostarjela i nijesam za udaju. A i da kažem da se nadam i da se još noæas udam, i da rodim sinove,
13 would you wait for them to grow up? Would you refrain from having husbands? No, my daughters, it grieves me very much for your sakes that the hand of the LORD has gone out against me.”
Zar æete ih vi èekati dok odrastu? zar æete toga radi stajati neudate? Nemojte, kæeri moje; jer su moji jadi veæi od vaših, jer se ruka Gospodnja podigla na me.
14 Again they wept aloud, and Orpah kissed her mother-in-law goodbye, but Ruth clung to her.
Tada one podigavši glas svoj plakaše opet; i Orfa poljubi svekrvu svoju; a Ruta osta kod nje.
15 “Look,” said Naomi, “your sister-in-law has gone back to her people and her gods; follow her back home.”
A ona joj reèe: eto, jetrva se tvoja vratila narodu svojemu i k bogovima svojim; vrati se i ti za jetrvom svojom.
16 But Ruth replied: “Do not urge me to leave you or to turn from following you. For wherever you go, I will go, and wherever you live, I will live; your people will be my people, and your God will be my God.
Ali Ruta reèe: nemoj me nagovarati da te ostavim i od tebe otidem; jer kuda god ti ideš, idem i ja; i gdje se god ti nastaniš, nastaniæu se i ja; tvoj je narod moj narod, i tvoj je Bog moj Bog.
17 Where you die, I will die, and there I will be buried. May the LORD punish me, and ever so severely, if anything but death separates you and me.”
Gdje ti umriješ, umrijeæu i ja, i ondje æu biti pogrebena. To neka mi uèini Gospod i to neka mi doda, smrt æe me samo rastaviti s tobom.
18 When Naomi saw that Ruth was determined to go with her, she stopped trying to persuade her.
A ona kad vidje da je tvrdo naumila iæi s njom, presta je odvraæati.
19 So Naomi and Ruth traveled until they came to Bethlehem. When they entered Bethlehem, the whole city was stirred because of them, and the women of the city exclaimed, “Can this be Naomi?”
Tako idoše obje dok ne doðoše u Vitlejem; a kad doðoše u Vitlejem, sav grad uzavre njih radi, i govorahu: je li to Nojemina?
20 “Do not call me Naomi,” she replied. “Call me Mara, because the Almighty has dealt quite bitterly with me.
A ona im govoraše: ne zovite me više Nojemina, nego me zovite Mara, jer mi velike jade zadade svemoguæi.
21 I went away full, but the LORD has brought me back empty. Why call me Naomi? After all, the LORD has testified against me, and the Almighty has afflicted me.”
Obilna sam otišla, a praznu me vrati Gospod. Zašto me zovete Nojemina, kad me Gospod obori i svemoguæi me ucvijeli.
22 So Naomi returned from the land of Moab with her daughter-in-law Ruth the Moabitess. And they arrived in Bethlehem at the beginning of the barley harvest.
Tako doðe natrag Nojemina i s njom Ruta Moavka, snaha njezina, vrativši se iz zemlje Moavske; a doðoše u Vitlejem o poèetku jeèmene žetve.
