Ruth 3
1 Afterward Naomi her mother in lawe said vnto her, My daughter, shall not I seeke rest for thee, that thou mayest prosper?
Onda će joj Noemi, svekrva njezina: “Kćeri moja, da ti potražim mirno mjesto gdje bi mogla biti sretna?
2 Now also is not Boaz our kinsman, with whose maides thou wast? beholde, he winoweth barly to night in the floore.
Vidiš, Boaz, s čijim si se poslenicima našla, naš je rođak. Evo, on će noćas vijati ječam na gumnu.
3 Wash thy sellfe therefore, and anoint thee, and put thy raiment vpon thee, and get thee downe to the floore: let not the man know of thee, vntill he haue left eating and drinking.
Umij se ti i namaži, lijepo se odjeni pa idi na gumno. Ne daj da te prepozna prije nego što se najede i napije.
4 And when he shall sleepe, marke the place where he layeth him downe, and go, and vncouer the place of his feete, and lay thee downe, and he shall tell thee what thou shalt doe.
Kad bude lijegao, dobro pazi gdje će leći; pa kad legne, otiđi onamo, podigni mu pokrivač s nogu i lezi ondje! Tada će ti on reći što ti je činiti.”
5 And she answered her, All that thou biddest me, I will doe.
Ona joj odgovori: “Učinit ću sve kako mi kažeš.”
6 So she went downe vnto the floore, and did according to all that her mother in lawe bade her.
I siđe na gumno i učini sve kako joj je svekrva naredila.
7 And when Boaz had eaten, and drunken, and cheared his heart, he went to lie downe at the end of the heape of corne, and she came softly, and vncouered the place of his feet, and lay downe.
A Boaz, pošto je jeo i pio i tako se odobrovoljio, ode i leže kraj stoga. Onda ona priđe polako, otkri mu noge i leže.
8 And at midnight the man was afraide and caught holde: and loe, a woman lay at his feete.
Kad bijaše oko ponoći, trže se čovjek i obrnu se, i gle: žena leži do njegovih nogu.
9 Then he sayd, Who art thou? And she answered, I am Ruth thine handmayd: spread therefore the wing of thy garment ouer thine handmayd: for thou art the kinsman.
“Tko si?” - upita on, a ona odgovori: “Ja sam Ruta, sluškinja tvoja. Raširi skut svoje haljine na sluškinju svoju jer si mi skrbnik.”
10 Then sayd he, Blessed be thou of the Lord, my daughter: thou hast shewed more goodnes in the latter end, then at the beginning, in as much as thou followedst not yong men, were they poore or rich.
“Blagoslovio te Jahve, kćeri moja!” - dočeka on. “Ovaj drugi tvoj čin milosti još je vredniji od prvoga, jer se nisi trudila da slijediš mlade poslenike, bili oni bogati ili siromašni.
11 And now, my daughter, feare not: I will doe to thee all that thou requirest: for all the citie of my people doeth knowe, that thou art a vertuous woman.
I zato se, kćeri moja, sada ne plaši: učinit ću ti sve što zatražiš, jer sva vrata moga naroda znaju da si čestita žena.
12 And now, it is true that I am thy kinsman, howbeit there is a kinsman neerer then I.
Jest, uistinu sam ti skrbnik; ali postoji još bliži od mene.
13 Tarie to night, and when morning is come, if he will doe the duetie of a kinsman vnto thee, well, let him doe the kinsmans duetie: but if he will not doe the kinsmans part, then wil I doe the duetie of a kinsman, as the Lord liueth: sleepe vntill the morning.
Ostani noćas; ako te sutra ujutro on kao skrbnik htjedne uzeti, dobro, neka te uzme; a ne htjedne li, uzet ću te ja, tako mi Jahve! Spavaj do jutra.”
14 And she lay at his feete vntill the morning: and she arose before one could know another: for he sayd, Let no man knowe, that a woman came into the floore.
I spavaše ona do njegovih nogu do jutra. On ustade prije nego što mogaše čovjek čovjeka razaznati jer mišljaše: “Ne treba da znaju da je žena bila na gumnu.”
15 Also he sayd, Bring the sheete that thou hast vpon thee, and holde it. And when she helde it, he measured sixe measures of barly, and layde them on her, and she went into the citie.
I kaza joj: “Daj ogrtač što je na tebi i drži ga dobro.” Ona ga pridrža, a on joj nasu šest mjerica ječma i naprti joj. I ode ona u grad.
16 And when she came to her mother in law, she sayd, Who art thou, my daughter? And she tolde her all that the man had done to her,
Kad je stigla, upita je svekrva: “Što je s tobom, kćeri moja?” A ona joj pripovjedi sve što je učinio za nju.
17 And said, These sixe measures of barly gaue he me: for he sayd to me, Thou shalt not come emptie vnto thy mother in lawe.
I nadoveza: “Ovih šest mjerica ječma dade mi kazujući: 'Ne smiješ se vratiti svekrvi praznih ruku.'”
18 Then sayd she, My daughter, sit still, vntill thou knowe how the thing will fall: for the man wil not be in rest, vntill he hath finished the matter this same day.
Nato će joj Noemi: “Budi mirna, kćeri moja, dok ne vidiš što će biti: jer neće on imati spokoja dok sve još danas ne dokrajči.”
