Ruth 1
1 And it came to pass when the judges ruled, that there was a famine in the land: and a man went from Bethleem Juda to sojourn in the land of Moab, he, and his wife, and his two sons.
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 And the man's name [was] Elimelech, and his wife's name Noemin, and the names of his two sons Maalon and Chelaion, Ephrathites of Bethleem of Juda: and they came to the land of Moab, and remained 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 And Elimelech the husband of Noemin died; and she was left, and her two sons.
Potom umrije Elimeleh muž Nojeminin i ona osta sa dva sina svoja.
4 And they took to themselves wives, women of Moab; the name of the one [was] Orpha, and the name of the second Ruth; and they lived there about ten years.
Oni se oženiše Moavkama: jednoj bješe ime Orfa a drugoj Ruta; i ondje stajahu do deset godina.
5 And both Maalon and Chelaion died also; and the woman was left of her husband and her two sons.
Potom umriješe obojica, Malon i Heleon; i žena osta bez dva sina svoja i bez muža svojega.
6 And she rose up and her two daughters-in-law, and they returned out of the country of Moab, for she heard in the country of Moab that the Lord [had] visited his people to give them bread.
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 And she went forth out of the place where she was, and her two daughters-in-law with her: and they went by the way to return to the land of Juda.
I izide iz mjesta gdje bijaše, i obje snahe njezine s njom; poðoše putem da se vrate u zemlju Judinu.
8 And Noemin said to her daughter-in-law, Go now, return each to the house of her mother: the Lord deal mercifully with you, as you have dealt with the dead, and with 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 The Lord grant you that you may find rest each of you in the house of her husband: and she kissed them; and they lifted up their voice, and wept.
Da vam da Gospod da naðete poèinak svaka u domu muža svojega. I poljubi ih; a one povikavši zaplakaše,
10 And they said to her, We will return with you to your people.
I rekoše joj: ne, nego æemo se s tobom vratiti u tvoj narod.
11 And Noemin said, Return now, my daughters; and why do you go with me? have I yet sons in my womb to be 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 Turn now, my daughters, for I am too old to be married: for I said, Suppose I were married, and should 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 till they should be grown? or would you refrain from being married for their sakes? Not so, my daughters; for I am grieved for you, that the hand of the Lord has gone forth 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 And they lifted up their voice, and wept again; and Orpha kissed her mother-in-law and returned to her people; but Ruth followed her.
Tada one podigavši glas svoj plakaše opet; i Orfa poljubi svekrvu svoju; a Ruta osta kod nje.
15 And Noemin said to Ruth, Behold, your sister-in-law has returned to her people and to her gods; turn now you also after your sister-in-law.
A ona joj reèe: eto, jetrva se tvoja vratila narodu svojemu i k bogovima svojim; vrati se i ti za jetrvom svojom.
16 And Ruth said, Intreat me not to leave you, or to return from following you; for wherever you go, I will go, and wherever you lodge, I will lodge; your people [shall be] my people, and your God 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 And wherever you die, I will die, and there will I be buried: the Lord do so to me, and more also, [if I leave you], for death [only] shall divide between me and you.
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 And Noemin seeing that she was determined to go with her, ceased to speak to her any more.
A ona kad vidje da je tvrdo naumila iæi s njom, presta je odvraæati.
19 And they went both of them until they came to Bethleem: and it came to pass, when they arrived at Bethleem, that all the city rang with them, and they said, Is this Noemin?
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 And she said to them, Nay, do not call me Noemin; call me 'Bitter,' for the Mighty One has dealt very 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 out full, and the Lord has brought me back empty: and why call you me Noemin, whereas the Lord has humbled me and the Mighty One 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 Noemin and Ruth the Moabitess, her daughter-in-law, returned from the country of Moab; and they came to Bethleem in the beginning of 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.
