Ruth 4
1 Boaz went to the town gate, and sat down there. The family redeemer that Boaz had mentioned happened to pass by, so Boaz said to him, “Come over here, friend, and sit down.” The man came over and sat down.
A Voz izide na vrata gradska, i sjede ondje. I gle, naiðe onaj osvetnik, za kojega Voz govoraše, i reèe mu Voz: hodi ovamo, sjedi ovdje. I on doðe i sjede.
2 Then Boaz selected ten of the town elders and asked them to sit there with them.
Potom uze Voz deset ljudi izmeðu starješina gradskih i reèe: posjedajte ovdje. I posjedaše.
3 Boaz said to the family redeemer, “Naomi who has returned from the country of Moab is selling the piece of land that belonged to Elimelech, our relative.
Tada reèe onomu osvetniku: njivu koja je bila brata našega Elimeleha prodala je Nojemina, koja se vratila iz zemlje Moavske.
4 I decided I should tell you in case you want to buy it here in the presence of these elders of the people. If you want to redeem it, then go ahead. But it you don't, then tell me so I'll know, because you are first in line to redeem it, and I'm next.” “I want to redeem it,” said the family redeemer.
Zato rekoh: da javim tebi, i kažem ti: uzmi njivu pred ovima što sjede ovdje i pred starješinama naroda mojega; ako æeš otkupiti, otkupi; ako li neæeš otkupiti, kaži mi da znam; jer osim tebe nema drugoga koji bi otkupio, a poslije tebe idem ja. A on reèe: ja æu otkupiti.
5 “When you buy the land from Naomi you also acquire Ruth the Moabite, Mahlon's widow, so you can marry her and have children with her to ensure the man's line continues,” Boaz explained.
A Voz reèe: u koji dan uzmeš njivu iz ruke Nojeminine, treba da uzmeš i Rutu Moavku ženu umrloga, da podigneš ime umrlomu u našljedstvu njegovu.
6 “Well, I can't do it then,” the family redeemer replied. “If I were to redeem it, that could jeopardize what I already own. You redeem it for yourself, because I can't.”
Tada reèe onaj osvetnik: ne mogu otkupiti, da ne raspem svojega našljedstva; otkupi ti što bi trebalo da ja otkupim, jer ja ne mogu otkupiti.
7 (Now during those times it was the custom in Israel to confirm the action of family redeemer, property transfer, or any similar legal matter by removing a sandal and handing it over. This was the way of validating a transaction in Israel.)
A bijaše od starine obièaj u Izrailju o otkupljivanju i promijenjivanju, da bi svaka stvar bila tvrda, da jedan izuje obuæu svoju i da drugomu, i to bijaše svedodžba u Izrailju.
8 So the family redeemer took off his sandal and told Boaz, “You buy it.”
Kad dakle onaj osvetnik reèe Vozu: uzmi ti, izu obuæu svoju.
9 Then Boaz said to the elders and all the people present, “You are witnesses that today I have bought from Naomi all that belonged to Elimelech, Mahlon, and Chilion.
A Voz reèe starješinama i svemu narodu: vi ste svjedoci danas da sam otkupio iz ruke Nojeminine što je god bilo Elimelehovo i što je god bilo Heleonovo i Malonovo;
10 I have also acquired Ruth the Moabite, Mahlon's widow, as my wife. By having children who may inherit his property his name will be kept alive in his family and in his home town. You are witnesses of this today.”
I da sam uzeo za ženu Rutu Moavku ženu Malonovu da podignem ime umrlomu u našljedstvu njegovu, da ne bi poginulo ime umrlomu meðu braæom njegovom i u mjestu njegovu; vi ste svjedoci danas.
11 The elders and all the people present at the town gate said, “Yes, we are witnesses. May the Lord make the woman who is coming to your house like Rachel and Leah who between them gave birth to the people of Israel. May you become prosperous in Ephrathah, and famous in Bethlehem.
I sav narod koji bijaše na vratima gradskim i starješine rekoše: svjedoci smo; da da Gospod da žena koja dolazi u dom tvoj bude kao Rahilja i Lija, koje obje sazidaše dom Izrailjev; bogati se u Efrati, i proslavi ime svoje u Vitlejemu!
12 May your descendants the Lord gives you through this young woman become like the descendants of Perez, the son Tamar bore to Judah.”
I od sjemena koje ti Gospod da od te žene, da postane dom tvoj kao dom Faresa kojega rodi Tamara Judi.
13 Boaz took Ruth home, and she became his wife. He slept with her, and the Lord arranged for her to become pregnant, and she gave birth to a son.
I tako uze Voz Rutu i bi mu žena, i on leže s njom, i Gospod joj dade te zatrudnje, i rodi sina.
14 The women of the town came to Naomi and said, “Praise the Lord, for today he didn't leave you without a family redeemer by giving you this grandson—may he become famous throughout Israel.
I rekoše žene Nojemini: da je blagosloven Gospod koji te nije ostavio danas bez osvetnika, da se ime njegovo slavi u Izrailju!
15 He will give you a new lease of life and provide for you in your old age, for your daughter-in-law, who loves you and who is better than seven sons to you, has given birth to him.”
On æe ti utješiti dušu i biæe potpora starosti tvojoj, jer ga rodi snaha tvoja koja te ljubi i koja ti je bolja nego sedam sinova.
16 Naomi picked up the child and hugged him. She looked after him like her own son.
I uze Nojemina dijete, i metnu ga na krilo svoje, i bješe mu dadilja.
17 The neighbor women named him Obed, saying “Naomi now has a son!” He was the father of Jesse who was the father of David.
I susjede nadješe mu ime govoreæi: rodi se sin Nojemini, i prozvaše ga Ovid. On bi otac Jeseja oca Davidova.
18 This is the family line of Perez: Perez was the father of Hezron.
A ovo je pleme Faresovo: Fares rodi Esroma;
19 Hezron was the father of Ram. Ram was the father of Amminadab.
A Esrom rodi Arama; a Aram rodi Aminadava;
20 Amminadab was the father of Nahshon. Nahshon was the father of Salmon.
A Aminadav rodi Nasona; a Nason rodi Salmona;
21 Salmon was the father of Boaz. Boaz was the father of Obed.
A Salmon rodi Voza; a Voz rodi Ovida;
22 Obed was the father of Jesse. Jesse was the father of David.
A Ovid rodi Jeseja; a Jesej rodi Davida.
