Ruth 3
1 But afterwards, when she returned to her mother-in-law, Naomi said to her: “My daughter, I will seek rest for you, and I will provide so that it may be well with you.
Потом рече јој Нојемина свекрва њена: Кћери моја, не треба ли да ти потражим починак, да би ти добро било?
2 This Boaz, whose young women you joined in the field, is our near relative, and this night he will winnow the threshing floor of barley.
Ево, није ли нам род Воз, код кога си била са девојкама његовим? Ево, он ће ову ноћ вејати јечам на гумну.
3 Therefore, wash and anoint yourself, and put on your decorative garments, and go down to the threshing floor, but do not let the man see you, while he finishes eating and drinking.
Умиј се дакле, и намажи се, и обуци хаљине своје на се, па иди на гумно; али да не дозна за те човек докле не једе и не напије се.
4 But when he goes to sleep, observe the place where he sleeps. And you will approach and lift up the covering, the part which covers near his feet, and lay yourself down, and sleep there; but he will tell you what you are obliged to do.”
Па кад легне, запамти место где легне, па онда отиди и дигни покривач с ногу његових, те лези онде; а он ће ти казати шта ћеш радити.
5 She answered, “I will do everything as you have instructed.”
А Рута јој рече: Шта ми год кажеш, учинићу.
6 And she went down to the threshing floor, and she did everything that her mother-in-law had commanded her.
И отиде на гумно и учини све што јој заповеди свекрва.
7 And when Boaz had finished eating and drinking, and he was merry, and he had gone to sleep by the pile of sheaves, she approached secretly, and, lifting the covering near his feet, she laid herself down.
А Воз једавши и пивши и провеселивши се отиде те леже код стога; а она дође полако, подиже покривач с ногу његових и леже.
8 And behold, when it was the middle of the night, the man became frightened and confused, and he saw a woman lying near his feet.
А кад би око поноћи трже се човек и обрну се, а гле, жена лежаше код ногу његових.
9 And he said to her, “Who are you?” And she answered, “I am Ruth, your handmaid. Spread your covering over your servant, for you are a near relative.”
И он јој рече: Ко си? Одговори: Ја сам Рута слушкиња твоја; рашири крило своје на слушкињу своју, јер си ми осветник.
10 And he said, “You are blessed by the Lord, daughter, and you have excelled beyond your earlier benevolence, because you have not followed young men, whether poor or rich.
А он рече: Господ да те благослови, кћери моја; ова потоња милост коју ми показујеш већа је од прве, што ниси тражила младића, ни сиромашног ни богатог.
11 Therefore, do not be afraid, but whatever you decide about me, I will accomplish for you. For all the people, who dwell within the gates of my city, know that you are a virtuous woman.
Зато сада, кћери моја, не бој се; шта год кажеш учинићу ти; јер зна цело место народа мог да си поштена жена.
12 Neither do I deny myself to be a near relative, but there is another nearer than I.
Јесте истина, ја сам ти осветник; али има још те ближи од мене.
13 Be at peace for this night. And when morning arrives, if he is willing to uphold the law of kinship for you, things will turn out well; but if he is not willing, then, I will take you, without any doubt, as the Lord lives. Sleep until morning.”
Преноћи овде; па сутра ако те хтедбуде узети, добро, нека узме; ако ли не хтедбуде узети, ја ћу те узети, тако жив био Господ! Спавај до јутра.
14 And so she slept by his feet until the night was ending. And she arose before men could inquire of one another. And Boaz said, “Be careful, lest someone know that you came here.”
И она спава код ногу његових до јутра; потом уста док још не могаше човек човека распознати, јер Воз рече: Да се не дозна да је жена долазила на гумно.
15 And again he said, “Spread your mantle that covers you, and hold it with both hands.” As she extended it and held it, he measured six measures of barley and placed it upon her. Carrying it, she went into the city.
И рече: Дај огртач који имаш на себи; и држи га. И она га подржа, а он јој измери шест мерица јечма, и напрти јој и она отиде у град.
16 And she came to her mother-in-law, who said to her: “What have you been doing, daughter?” And she explained to her all that the man had accomplished for her.
И дође свекрви својој, која јој рече: Шта би кћери моја? А она јој каза све што јој учини онај човек.
17 And she said, “Behold, he gave me six measures of barley, for he said, ‘I am not willing to have you return empty to your mother-in-law.’”
И рече: Ових шест мерица јечма даде ми, јер ми рече: Немој се вратити празна к свекрви својој.
18 And Naomi said, “Wait, daughter, until we see how things will turn out. For the man will not rest until he has accomplished what he said.”
А она јој рече: Почекај, кћери моја, док дознаш како ће изаћи; јер онај човек неће се смирити док не сврши ствар данас.
