Ruth 4
1 And Boaz went up to the public place of the town, and took his seat there: and the near relation of whom he had been talking came by; and Boaz, crying out to him by name, said, Come and be seated here. And he came and was seated.
A Voz izide na vrata gradska, i sjede ondje. I gle, naiðe onaj osvetnik, za kojega Voz govoraše, i reèe mu Voz: hodi ovamo, sjedi ovdje. I on doðe i sjede.
2 Then he got ten of the responsible men of the town, and said, Be seated here. And they took their seats.
Potom uze Voz deset ljudi izmeðu starješina gradskih i reèe: posjedajte ovdje. I posjedaše.
3 Then he said to the near relation, Naomi, who has come back from the country of Moab, is offering for a price that bit of land which was our brother Elimelech's:
Tada reèe onomu osvetniku: njivu koja je bila brata našega Elimeleha prodala je Nojemina, koja se vratila iz zemlje Moavske.
4 And it was in my mind to give you the chance of taking it, with the approval of those seated here and of the responsible men of my people. If you are ready to do what it is right for a relation to do, then do it: but if you will not do it, say so to me now; for there is no one who has the right to do it but you, and after you myself. And he said, I will do it.
Zato rekoh: da javim tebi, i kažem ti: uzmi njivu pred ovima što sjede ovdje i pred starješinama naroda mojega; ako æeš otkupiti, otkupi; ako li neæeš otkupiti, kaži mi da znam; jer osim tebe nema drugoga koji bi otkupio, a poslije tebe idem ja. A on reèe: ja æu otkupiti.
5 Then Boaz said, On the day when you take this field, you will have to take with it Ruth, the Moabitess, the wife of the dead, so that you may keep the name of the dead living in his heritage.
A Voz reèe: u koji dan uzmeš njivu iz ruke Nojeminine, treba da uzmeš i Rutu Moavku ženu umrloga, da podigneš ime umrlomu u našljedstvu njegovu.
6 And the near relation said, I am not able to do the relation's part, for fear of damaging the heritage I have: you may do it in my place, for I am not able to do it myself.
Tada reèe onaj osvetnik: ne mogu otkupiti, da ne raspem svojega našljedstva; otkupi ti što bi trebalo da ja otkupim, jer ja ne mogu otkupiti.
7 Now, in earlier times this was the way in Israel when property was taken over by a near relation, or when there was a change of owner. To make the exchange certain one man took off his shoe and gave it to the other; and this was a witness in Israel.
A bijaše od starine obièaj u Izrailju o otkupljivanju i promijenjivanju, da bi svaka stvar bila tvrda, da jedan izuje obuæu svoju i da drugomu, i to bijaše svedodžba u Izrailju.
8 So the near relation said to Boaz, Take it for yourself. And he took off his shoe.
Kad dakle onaj osvetnik reèe Vozu: uzmi ti, izu obuæu svoju.
9 Then Boaz said to the responsible men and to all the people, You are witnesses today that I have taken at a price from Naomi all the property which was Elimelech's, and everything which was Chilion's and Mahlon's.
A Voz reèe starješinama i svemu narodu: vi ste svjedoci danas da sam otkupio iz ruke Nojeminine što je god bilo Elimelehovo i što je god bilo Heleonovo i Malonovo;
10 And, further, I have taken Ruth, the Moabitess, who was the wife of Mahlon, to be my wife, to keep the name of the dead man living in his heritage, so that his name may not be cut off from among his countrymen, and from the memory of his town: you are witnesses this day.
I da sam uzeo za ženu Rutu Moavku ženu Malonovu da podignem ime umrlomu u našljedstvu njegovu, da ne bi poginulo ime umrlomu meðu braæom njegovom i u mjestu njegovu; vi ste svjedoci danas.
11 And all the people who were in the public place, and the responsible men, said, We are witnesses. May the Lord make this woman, who is about to come into your house, like Rachel and Leah, which two were the builders of the house of Israel: and may you have wealth in Ephrathah, and be great in Beth-lehem;
I sav narod koji bijaše na vratima gradskim i starješine rekoše: svjedoci smo; da da Gospod da žena koja dolazi u dom tvoj bude kao Rahilja i Lija, koje obje sazidaše dom Izrailjev; bogati se u Efrati, i proslavi ime svoje u Vitlejemu!
12 May your family be like the family of Perez, the son whom Tamar gave to Judah, from the offspring which the Lord may give you by this young woman.
I od sjemena koje ti Gospod da od te žene, da postane dom tvoj kao dom Faresa kojega rodi Tamara Judi.
13 So Boaz took Ruth and she became his wife; and he went in to her, and the Lord made her with child and she gave birth to a son.
I tako uze Voz Rutu i bi mu žena, i on leže s njom, i Gospod joj dade te zatrudnje, i rodi sina.
14 And the women said to Naomi, A blessing on the Lord, who has not let you be this day without a near relation, and may his name be great in Israel.
I rekoše žene Nojemini: da je blagosloven Gospod koji te nije ostavio danas bez osvetnika, da se ime njegovo slavi u Izrailju!
15 He will be a giver of new life to you, and your comforter when you are old, for your daughter-in-law, who, in her love for you, is better than seven sons, has given birth to him.
On æe ti utješiti dušu i biæe potpora starosti tvojoj, jer ga rodi snaha tvoja koja te ljubi i koja ti je bolja nego sedam sinova.
16 And Naomi took the child and put her arms round it, and she took care of it.
I uze Nojemina dijete, i metnu ga na krilo svoje, i bješe mu dadilja.
17 And the women who were her neighbours gave it a name, saying, Naomi has a child; and they gave him the name of Obed: he is the father of Jesse, the father of David.
I susjede nadješe mu ime govoreæi: rodi se sin Nojemini, i prozvaše ga Ovid. On bi otac Jeseja oca Davidova.
18 Now these are the generations of Perez: Perez became the father of Hezron;
A ovo je pleme Faresovo: Fares rodi Esroma;
19 And Hezron became the father of Ram, and Ram became the father of Amminadab;
A Esrom rodi Arama; a Aram rodi Aminadava;
20 And Amminadab became the father of Nahshon, and Nahshon became the father of Salmon;
A Aminadav rodi Nasona; a Nason rodi Salmona;
21 And Salmon became the father of Boaz, and Boaz became the father of Obed;
A Salmon rodi Voza; a Voz rodi Ovida;
22 And Obed became the father of Jesse, and Jesse became the father of David.
A Ovid rodi Jeseja; a Jesej rodi Davida.
