< 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?
Potem ji je njena tašča Naomí rekla: »Moja hči, mar ne bom iskala počitka zate, da bo lahko dobro s teboj?
2 Now also is not Boaz our kinsman, with whose maides thou wast? beholde, he winoweth barly to night in the floore.
Torej ali ni Boaz iz našega sorodstva, s čigar deklami si bila? Glej on nocoj veja ječmen na mlatišču.
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 torej in se mazili in nase nadeni svoje oblačilo in pojdi dol do mlatišča. Toda ne daj se spoznati možu, dokler se ne bo najedel in napil.
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.
Zgodilo se bo, da ko se uleže, da si boš zapomnila prostor, kjer bo legel in vstopila boš in odkrila njegova stopala in se ulegla in on ti bo povedal kaj boš storila.«
5 And she answered her, All that thou biddest me, I will doe.
Rekla ji je: »Vse, kar mi govoriš, bom storila.«
6 So she went downe vnto the floore, and did according to all that her mother in lawe bade her.
Odšla je dol k mlatišču in storila glede na vse, kar ji je njena tašča zaukazala.
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.
Ko je Boaz jedel in pil in je bilo njegovo srce veselo, je odšel, da se uleže pri koncu kupa žita in ona je po tiho prišla in odkrila njegova stopala in se ulegla.
8 And at midnight the man was afraide and caught holde: and loe, a woman lay at his feete.
Pripetilo se je ob polnoči, da je bil mož prestrašen in se obrnil in glej, ženska leži pri njegovih stopalih.
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.
Rekel je: »Kdo si?« Odgovorila je: »Jaz sem Ruta, tvoja pomočnica. Razširi torej krajec svoje obleke nad svojo pomočnico, kajti ti si bližnji sorodnik.«
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.
Rekel je: »Blagoslovljena bodi od Gospoda, moja hči, kajti izkazala si več prijaznosti v zadnjem koncu kakor poprej v tem, da ne slediš za mladeniči, bodisi revnimi ali bogatimi.
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.
Sedaj, moja hči, ne boj se. Storil ti bom vse, kar zahtevaš, kajti vse mesto mojega ljudstva ve, da si vrla ženska.
12 And now, it is true that I am thy kinsman, howbeit there is a kinsman neerer then I.
Sedaj je to resnica, da sem tvoj bližnji sorodnik, vendar obstaja sorodnik, ki je bližji kakor jaz.
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 to noč in zjutraj bo, da če ti bo on izpolnil delež sorodnika, dobro. Naj on stori sorodniški delež, toda če ti on ne bo storil sorodniškega deleža, potem ti bom jaz storil sorodniški delež, kakor živi Gospod. Lezi 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.
In pri njegovih stopalih je ležala do jutra. Vstala je, preden je kdo lahko prepoznal drugega. Rekel je: »Naj se ne izve, da je na mlatišče prišla ženska.«
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.
Prav tako je rekel: »Prinesi zagrinjalo, ki ga imaš na sebi in ga drži.« Ko ga je držala, ji je odmeril šest meric ječmena in ga naložil nanjo in odšla je v mesto.
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,
Ko je prišla k svoji tašči, je ta rekla: »Kdo si, moja hči?« In povedala ji je vse, kar ji je storil mož.
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.
Rekla ji je: »Dal mi je teh šest meric ječmena, kajti rekel mi je: ›Ne pojdi prazna k svoji tašči.‹«
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.
Potem ji je ona rekla: »Mirno sedi, moja hči, dokler ne izveš, kako se bo stvar obrnila, kajti mož ne bo počival, dokler danes ne dokonča te stvari.«
