Ruth 2
1 Now Naomi had a relative on her husband's side whose name was Boaz. He was a rich and influential man from the family of Elimelech.
Naomí je imela sorodnika svojega soproga, mogočnega človeka premoženja, iz Elimélehove družine. Njegovo ime je bilo Boaz.
2 Soon after Ruth the Moabite said to Naomi, “Please let me go to the fields and pick up grain that's been left behind—if I can find someone will give me permission.” “Yes, go ahead, my daughter,” Naomi replied.
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 So she went and picked up grain the reapers had left behind. She happened to be working in a field that belonged to Boaz, a relative 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 Later on Boaz arrived from Bethlehem, and said to the reapers, “May the Lord be with you!” They replied, “The Lord bless you!”
Glej, Boaz je prišel iz Betlehema in rekel žanjcem: » Gospod naj bo z vami.« Odgovorili so mu: » Gospod te blagoslovi.«
5 Then Boaz asked his servant who was in charge of the harvesters, “Who is this young woman related to?”
Potem je Boaz rekel svojemu služabniku, ki je bil postavljen nad žanjce: »Čigava gospodična je to?«
6 “The young woman is a Moabite who came back with Naomi from Moab,” the servant replied.
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 “She asked me, ‘Please may I have permission to pick up grain behind the reapers.’ So she came, and she's been working here from morning until now, except for a brief rest in the shelter.”
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 Boaz went and spoke to Ruth. “Listen to me, my daughter,” he told her. “Don't leave to go and pick up grain in someone else's field. Stay close to my women.
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 Pay attention to what part of the field the men are reaping and follow the women. I've told the men not to bother you. When you get thirsty, go and have a drink from the water jars the servants have filled.”
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 She bowed down with her face to the ground. “Why are you being so kind to me or even notice me, seeing I'm a foreigner?” she asked him.
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 “I've heard about all you've done for your mother-in-law since your husband died,” Boaz replied. “And also how you left your father and mother, and the land of your birth, to come and live among people you didn't know.
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 May the Lord fully reward you for all you've done—the Lord, the God of Israel, to whom you've come for protection.
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 Thank you for being so good to me, sir,” she replied. “You have reassured me by speaking to me kindly. I'm not even one of your servants.”
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 When it was time to eat, Boaz called her over. “Come here,” he said. “Take some bread and dip it in wine vinegar.” So she sat down with the workers and Boaz passed her some roasted grain to eat. She ate until she'd had enough with some left over.
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 After Ruth went back to work Boaz told his men, “Let her pick up grain even among the sheaves. Don't say anything to embarrass her.
Ko se je dvignila, da paberkuje, je Boaz svojim mladeničem zapovedal, rekoč: »Naj paberkuje celo med snopi in ne grajajte je.
16 In fact, pull out some stalks from the bundles you're cutting and leave them for her to pick up. Don't tell her off.”
Naj prav tako namenoma zanjo pade nekaj prgišč in pustite jih, da jih bo lahko pobrala in ne oštejte je.«
17 Ruth worked in the field until the evening. When she beat out the grain that she had picked up it was a large amount.
Tako je na polju paberkovala celo do večera in otepla to, kar je nabrala in tega je bilo približno škaf ječmena.
18 She picked it up and took it back to town to show her mother-in-law how much she had collected. Ruth also gave her what she had left over from her meal.
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 Naomi asked her, “Where did you pick up grain today? Exactly where did you work? Bless whoever cared enough about you to pay you some attention!” So she told her mother-in-law about who she had worked with. “The man I worked with today is called 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 “The Lord bless him!” Naomi exclaimed to her daughter-in-law. “He goes on showing his kindness to the living and the dead. That man is a close relative to us—a ‘family redeemer.’”
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 Ruth added, “He also told me, ‘Stay close to my workers until they have finished harvesting my entire crop.’”
Moábka Ruta je rekla: »Rekel mi je tudi: ›Trdno se boš držala mojih mladeničev, dokler ne zaključijo vse moje žetve.‹«
22 “That's good, my daughter,” Naomi told Ruth. “Stay with his women workers. Don't go to other fields where you might be molested.”
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 Ruth stayed with Boaz' women workers picking up grain until the end of the barley harvest, and then on to the end of the wheat harvest. She lived with her mother-in-law the whole time.
Tako se je trdno držala Boazovih dekel, da paberkuje do konca ječmenove žetve in pšenične žetve in prebivala je s svojo taščo.
