< Ruth 2 >

1 But there was a man related to Elimelech, a powerful man, and very wealthy, named Boaz.
А беше један човек, род мужу Нојеминином, човек богат од породице Елимелехове, коме име беше Воз.
2 And Ruth, the Moabite, said to her mother-in-law, “If you order, I will go into the field and gather the ears of grain which escape the reaping hand, wherever I will find favor with the father of a family, who will be compassionate to me.” She answered her, “Go, my daughter.”
И Рута Моавка рече Нојемини: Да идем у поље да пабирчим класје за оним пред ким нађем милост. А она јој рече: Иди, кћери моја.
3 And so she went and gathered the ears of grain after the completion of the reaping. But it happened that this field was owned by Boaz, who was of the kindred of Elimelech.
И она отиде, и дошавши стаде пабирчити по њиви за жетеоцима: и догоди се, те дође на њиву која припадаше Возу, који беше од породице Елимелехове.
4 And behold, he came out of Bethlehem and said to the reapers, “The Lord be with you.” They answered him, “May the Lord bless you.”
И гле, дође Воз из Витлејема, а рече жетеоцима: Господ да је с вама! И они му рекоше: Да те благослови Господ!
5 And Boaz said to the young man who was in charge of the reapers, “Whose young woman is this?”
Тада рече Воз слузи свом који беше над жетеоцима: Чија је оно младица?
6 He answered him, “This is the Moabite woman, who came with Naomi, from the land of the Moabites,
А слуга који беше над жетеоцима одговори му: Моавка је младица која се вратила с Нојемином из земље моавске.
7 and she asked to gather the remnants of the ears of grain, following the steps of the reapers, and from morning until now she has remained in the field, and, indeed, not for one moment has she returned home.”
И рече: Да пабирчим, да купим класје између снопова за жетеоцима. И дошавши бави се од јутра до сада; само је мало била код куће.
8 And Boaz said to Ruth, “Listen to me, daughter. Do not go to gather in any other field, nor depart from this place, but join with my young women,
Тада Воз рече Рути: Чујеш, кћери моја; немој ићи на другу њиву да пабирчиш, нити одлази одавде, него се држи мојих девојака.
9 and follow where they reap. For I have given orders to my young men, so that no one is to harass you. And so, whenever you are thirsty, go to the vessels, and drink from the waters that the young men also drink.”
Пази на којој њиви они жању, па иди за њима; јер сам заповедио момцима својим да те нико не дира; а кад ожедниш, иди к судовима и пиј шта моје слуге захватају.
10 She, falling on her face and paying homage on the ground, said to him: “How did this happen to me, that I should find favor before your eyes, and that you would condescend to accept me, a foreign woman?”
Тада она паде ничице и поклони се до земље, и рече му: Како нађох милост пред тобом, да ме погледаш кад сам туђинка?
11 He answered her, “Everything has been reported to me, what things you have done for your mother-in-law after the death of your husband, and how you left your parents, and the land in which you were born, and came to a people you did not know before.
А Воз одговори и рече јој: Чуо сам ја све што си чинила свекрви својој по смрти мужа свог, и како си оставила оца свог и матер своју и постојбину своју, па си дошла к народу ког ниси знала пре.
12 May the Lord repay you for your work, and may you receive a full reward from the Lord, the God of Israel, to whom you have come, and under whose wings you have taken refuge.”
Господ да ти плати за дело твоје, и да ти плата буде потпуна од Господа Бога Израиљевог, кад си дошла да се под крилима Његовим склониш.
13 She said, “I have found favor before your eyes, my lord, who has consoled me, and you have spoken to the heart of your handmaid, who is unlike one of your young women.”
А она рече: Нађох милост пред тобом, господару, јер си ме утешио и милостиво проговорио слушкињи својој, ако и нисам као једна од твојих слушкиња.
14 And Boaz said to her, “When mealtime begins, come here, and eat bread, and dip your morsel in the vinegar.” And so she sat beside the reapers, and she piled up parched grain for herself, and she ate and was satisfied, and carried off the leftovers.
А Воз јој рече: Кад буде време јести, дођи овамо и једи хлеба и умочи залогај свој у оцат. И она седе покрај жетелаца, и он јој пружи пржених зрна, и она једе и насити се, и претече јој.
15 And then she arose from there, so as to gather the ears of grain, according to the custom. But Boaz commanded his servants, saying, “If she is even willing to reap with you, do not prevent her,
Потом уста да пабирчи. А Воз заповеди момцима својим говорећи: Нека пабирчи и међу сноповима, немојте да је застидите.
16 and purposely let fall some from your bundles, and allow them to remain, so that she may gather without blushing, and let no one rebuke her gathering.”
Него још навлаш испуштајте руковети и остављајте јој нека купи, и не корите је.
17 And so she gathered in the field until evening. And striking and threshing with a staff what she had gathered, she found about the measure of an ephah of barley, that is, three measures.
И она пабирчи на њиви до вечера, и оврше шта напабирчи, и дође око ефе јечма.
18 Carrying this, she returned into the city and showed it to her mother-in-law. Moreover, she offered it to her and even gave her the leftovers of her food, with which she had been satisfied.
И узевши отиде у град, и виде свекрва њена шта је напабирчила; а она извади и даде јој и оно што је претекло пошто се наситила.
19 And her mother-in-law said to her, “Where have you gathered today, and where have you found work? Blessed is he who took pity on you!” And she informed her with whom she had been working, and she said the man’s name, that he was called Boaz.
И рече јој свекрва: Где си пабирчила данас? И где си радила? Да је благословен који те је погледао! А она каза свекрви својој код кога је радила говорећи: Име је човеку код кога сам данас радила Воз.
20 Naomi answered her, “May he be blessed by the Lord, because the same kindness which he provided for the living, he also kept for the dead.” And again she said: “This man is our near relative.”
А Нојемина рече снаси својој: Господ да га благослови, кад није укратио милости своје к живима и к мртвима. И рече јој Нојемина: Тај је човек нама род, и један од осветника наших.
21 And Ruth said, “He charged me with this also, that from now on I should join with his reapers until all the crop has been reaped.”
А Рута Моавка рече: Још ми је рекао: Држи се моје чељади докле не пожању све моје.
22 And her mother-in-law said to her, “It is better, my daughter, to go out reaping with his young women, lest in a stranger’s field someone may confront you.”
А Нојемина рече Рути снаси својој: Добро је, кћери моја, да идеш с његовим девојкама, да те не би дирали на другој њиви.
23 And so, she joined with the young women of Boaz, and from then on reaped with them, until the barley and the wheat were stored in the barns.
И тако се држаше девојака Возових пабирчећи докле се не сврши жетва јечмена и жетва пшенична; и живљаше код свекрве своје.
