Ruth 2
1 And Naomi had a relation of her husband's, a mighty man of wealth, of the family of Elimelech, and his name was Boaz.
Naomí je imela sorodnika svojega soproga, mogočnega človeka premoženja, iz Elimélehove družine. Njegovo ime je bilo Boaz.
2 And Ruth the Moabitess said to Naomi, Let me, I pray, go to the field and glean among the ears of corn after [him] in whose sight I shall find favour. And she said to her, Go, my daughter.
Moábka Ruta je rekla Naomí: »Naj grem torej na polje in paberkujem žitno klasje za tistim, v čigar očeh bom našla milost.« In rekla ji je: »Pojdi, moja hči.«
3 And she went; and she came and gleaned in the fields after the reapers; and she chanced to light on an allotment of Boaz, who was of the family of Elimelech.
Odšla je in prišla ter za žanjci paberkovala na polju in sreča se ji je posvetila na delu polja, ki je pripadal Boazu, ki je bil Elimélehov sorodnik.
4 And behold, Boaz came from Bethlehem; and he said to the reapers, Jehovah be with you! And they said to him, Jehovah bless thee!
Glej, Boaz je prišel iz Betlehema in rekel žanjcem: » Gospod naj bo z vami.« Odgovorili so mu: » Gospod te blagoslovi.«
5 And Boaz said to his servant that was set over the reapers, Whose maiden is this?
Potem je Boaz rekel svojemu služabniku, ki je bil postavljen nad žanjce: »Čigava gospodična je to?«
6 And the servant that was set over the reapers answered and said, It is the Moabitish maiden who came back with Naomi out of the fields of Moab;
Služabnik, ki je bil postavljen nad žanjce, je odgovoril in rekel: »To je moábska gospodična, ki je prišla z Naomí nazaj iz moábske dežele.
7 and she said, I pray you, let me glean and gather among the sheaves after the reapers. And she came, and has continued from the morning until now: her sitting in the house has been little as yet.
Rekla je: ›Prosim vas, naj med snopi paberkujem za žanjci.‹ Tako je prišla in nadaljevala celo od jutra do sedaj, da se je le malo mudila v hiši.«
8 And Boaz said to Ruth, Hearest thou not, my daughter? Go not to glean in another field, neither go from here, but keep here with my maidens.
Potem je Boaz rekel Ruti: »Ali ne slišiš, moja hči? Ne pojdi paberkovat na drugo polje niti ne pojdi od tod, temveč ostani tukaj blizu mojih dekel.
9 Let thine eyes be on the field which is being reaped, and go thou after them; have I not charged the young men not to touch thee? And when thou art athirst, go to the vessels and drink of what the young men draw.
Naj bodo tvoje oči na polju, ki ga žanjejo in pojdi za njimi. Mar nisem mladeniče zadolžil, da se te ne bodo dotaknili? In ko si žejna, pojdi k posodam in pij od tega, kar so mladeniči zajeli.«
10 Then she fell on her face, and bowed herself to the ground, and said to him, Why have I found favour in thine eyes, that thou shouldest regard me, seeing I am a foreigner?
Potem je padla na svoj obraz in se priklonila do tal in mu rekla: »Zakaj sem našla milost v tvojih očeh, da si se zmenil zame, glede na to, da sem tujka.«
11 And Boaz answered and said to her, It has fully been shewn me, all that thou hast done to thy mother-in-law since the death of thy husband; and how thou hast left thy father and thy mother, and the land of thy nativity, and art come to a people that thou hast not known heretofore.
Boaz je odgovoril in ji rekel: »V polnosti mi je bilo prikazano vse, kar si storila svoji tašči, odkar je tvoj soprog umrl in kako si zapustila svojega očeta, svojo mater in svojo rojstno deželo in si prišla k ljudstvu, ki ga poprej nisi poznala.
12 Jehovah recompense thy work, and let thy reward be full from Jehovah the God of Israel, under whose wings thou art come to take refuge.
Gospod naj ti povrne tvoje delo in polna nagrada naj ti bo dana od Gospoda, Izraelovega Boga, pod čigar peruti si prišla, da zaupaš.«
13 And she said, Let me find favour in thine eyes, my lord; for that thou hast comforted me, and for that thou hast spoken kindly to thy handmaid, though I am not like one of thy handmaidens.
Potem je rekla: »Naj najdem naklonjenost v tvojem pogledu, moj gospod. Ker si me potolažil in ker si prijazno govoril s svojo pomočnico, čeprav nisem niti kakor ena izmed tvojih pomočnic.«
14 And Boaz said to her at mealtime, Come hither and eat of the bread, and dip thy morsel in the vinegar. And she sat beside the reapers; and he reached her parched corn, and she ate and was sufficed, and reserved [some].
Boaz ji je rekel: »Ob času kosila pridi sèm in jej od kruha in pomakaj svoj košček v kis.« Usedla se je poleg žanjcev in on ji je podal opraženo zrnje in jedla je in bila nasičena in še je ostalo.
15 And when she rose up to glean, Boaz commanded his young men, saying, Let her glean even among the sheaves, and ye shall not reproach her.
Ko se je dvignila, da paberkuje, je Boaz svojim mladeničem zapovedal, rekoč: »Naj paberkuje celo med snopi in ne grajajte je.
16 And ye shall also sometimes draw out for her [some ears] out of the handfuls, and leave them that she may glean, and rebuke her not.
Naj prav tako namenoma zanjo pade nekaj prgišč in pustite jih, da jih bo lahko pobrala in ne oštejte je.«
17 And she gleaned in the field until even, and beat out what she had gleaned; and it was about an ephah of barley.
Tako je na polju paberkovala celo do večera in otepla to, kar je nabrala in tega je bilo približno škaf ječmena.
18 And she took [it] up, and came into the city, and her mother-in-law saw what she had gleaned; and she brought forth and gave to her that which she had reserved after she was sufficed.
In to je vzdignila ter odšla v mesto. Njena tašča je videla, kaj je nabrala in prinesla je in ji dala to, kar je shranila, potem ko je bila nasičena.
19 And her mother-in-law said to her, Where hast thou gleaned to-day? and where hast thou wrought? Blessed be he that did regard thee! And she told her mother-in-law with whom she had wrought, and said, The man's name with whom I wrought to-day is Boaz.
Njena tašča ji je rekla: »Kje si danes paberkovala? Kje si delala? Blagoslovljen naj bo tisti, ki se je zmenil zate.« Svoji tašči je pokazala, s kom je delala in rekla: »Ime človeka, s katerim sem danes delala, je Boaz.«
20 And Naomi said to her daughter-in-law, Blessed be he of Jehovah, who has not left off his kindness to the living and to the dead! And Naomi said to her, The man is near of kin to us, one of those who have the right of our redemption.
Naomí je rekla svoji snahi: »Blagoslovljen naj bo od Gospoda on, ki ni opustil svoje prijaznosti do živih in do mrtvih.« Naomí ji je rekla: »Mož nama je bližnji sorodnik, eden izmed najinih najožjih sorodnikov.«
21 And Ruth the Moabitess said, He said to me also, Thou shalt keep with my young men until they have ended all my harvest.
Moábka Ruta je rekla: »Rekel mi je tudi: ›Trdno se boš držala mojih mladeničev, dokler ne zaključijo vse moje žetve.‹«
22 And Naomi said to Ruth her daughter-in-law, It is good, my daughter, that thou go out with his maidens, that they meet thee not in any other field.
Naomí je rekla svoji snahi Ruti: »Dobro je, moja hči, da greš ven z njegovimi deklami, da te ne srečajo na nobenem drugem polju.«
23 So she kept with the maidens of Boaz to glean, until the end of the barley-harvest and of the wheat-harvest. And she dwelt with her mother-in-law.
Tako se je trdno držala Boazovih dekel, da paberkuje do konca ječmenove žetve in pšenične žetve in prebivala je s svojo taščo.
