Ruth 3
1 And Naomi, her mother-in-law, said to her, My daughter, am I not to get you a resting-place where you may be in comfort?
Potem ji je njena tašča Naomí rekla: »Moja hči, mar ne bom iskala počitka zate, da bo lahko dobro s teboj?
2 And now, is there not Boaz, our relation, with whose young women you were? See, tonight he is separating the grain from the waste in his grain-floor.
Torej ali ni Boaz iz našega sorodstva, s čigar deklami si bila? Glej on nocoj veja ječmen na mlatišču.
3 So take a bath, and, after rubbing your body with sweet oil, put on your best robe, and go down to the grain-floor; but do not let him see you till he has come to the end of his meal.
Umij se torej in se mazili in nase nadeni svoje oblačilo in pojdi dol do mlatišča. Toda ne daj se spoznati možu, dokler se ne bo najedel in napil.
4 But see to it, when he goes to rest, that you take note of the place where he is sleeping, and go in there, and, uncovering his feet, take your place by him; and he will say what you are to do.
Zgodilo se bo, da ko se uleže, da si boš zapomnila prostor, kjer bo legel in vstopila boš in odkrila njegova stopala in se ulegla in on ti bo povedal kaj boš storila.«
5 And she said, I will do all you say.
Rekla ji je: »Vse, kar mi govoriš, bom storila.«
6 So she went down to the grain-floor and did all her mother-in-law had said to her.
Odšla je dol k mlatišču in storila glede na vse, kar ji je njena tašča zaukazala.
7 Now when Boaz had taken meat and drink, and his heart was glad, he went to take his rest at the end of the mass of grain; then she came softly and, uncovering his feet, went to rest.
Ko je Boaz jedel in pil in je bilo njegovo srce veselo, je odšel, da se uleže pri koncu kupa žita in ona je po tiho prišla in odkrila njegova stopala in se ulegla.
8 Now in the middle of the night, the man awaking from his sleep in fear, and lifting himself up, saw a woman stretched at his feet.
Pripetilo se je ob polnoči, da je bil mož prestrašen in se obrnil in glej, ženska leži pri njegovih stopalih.
9 And he said, Who are you? And she answering said, I am your servant Ruth: take your servant as wife, for you are a near relation.
Rekel je: »Kdo si?« Odgovorila je: »Jaz sem Ruta, tvoja pomočnica. Razširi torej krajec svoje obleke nad svojo pomočnico, kajti ti si bližnji sorodnik.«
10 And he said, May the Lord give you his blessing, my daughter: even better than what you did at the first is this last kind act you have done, in not going after young men, with or without wealth.
Rekel je: »Blagoslovljena bodi od Gospoda, moja hči, kajti izkazala si več prijaznosti v zadnjem koncu kakor poprej v tem, da ne slediš za mladeniči, bodisi revnimi ali bogatimi.
11 And now, my daughter, have no fear; I will do for you whatever you say: for it is clear to all my townspeople that you are a woman of virtue.
Sedaj, moja hči, ne boj se. Storil ti bom vse, kar zahtevaš, kajti vse mesto mojega ljudstva ve, da si vrla ženska.
12 Now it is true that I am a near relation: but there is a relation nearer than I.
Sedaj je to resnica, da sem tvoj bližnji sorodnik, vendar obstaja sorodnik, ki je bližji kakor jaz.
13 Take your rest here tonight; and in the morning, if he will do for you what it is right for a relation to do, very well, let him do so: but if he will not, then by the living Lord I myself will do so.
Ostani to noč in zjutraj bo, da če ti bo on izpolnil delež sorodnika, dobro. Naj on stori sorodniški delež, toda če ti on ne bo storil sorodniškega deleža, potem ti bom jaz storil sorodniški delež, kakor živi Gospod. Lezi do jutra.«
14 And she took her rest at his feet till the morning: and she got up before it was light enough for one to see another. And he said, Let it not come to anyone's knowledge that the woman came to the grain-floor.
In pri njegovih stopalih je ležala do jutra. Vstala je, preden je kdo lahko prepoznal drugega. Rekel je: »Naj se ne izve, da je na mlatišče prišla ženska.«
15 And he said, Take your robe, stretching it out in your hands: and she did so, and he took six measures of grain and put them into it, and gave it her to take: and she went back to the town.
Prav tako je rekel: »Prinesi zagrinjalo, ki ga imaš na sebi in ga drži.« Ko ga je držala, ji je odmeril šest meric ječmena in ga naložil nanjo in odšla je v mesto.
16 And when she came back her mother-in-law said to her, How did it go with you, my daughter? And she gave her an account of all the man had done to her.
Ko je prišla k svoji tašči, je ta rekla: »Kdo si, moja hči?« In povedala ji je vse, kar ji je storil mož.
17 And she said, He gave me these six measures of grain, saying, Do not go back to your mother-in-law with nothing in your hands.
Rekla ji je: »Dal mi je teh šest meric ječmena, kajti rekel mi je: ›Ne pojdi prazna k svoji tašči.‹«
18 Then she said, Do nothing now, my daughter, till you see what will come of this; for the man will take no rest till he has put this thing through.
Potem ji je ona rekla: »Mirno sedi, moja hči, dokler ne izveš, kako se bo stvar obrnila, kajti mož ne bo počival, dokler danes ne dokonča te stvari.«
