Ruth 4
1 THEN went Boaz up to the gate, and sat him down there: and, behold, the kinsman of whom Boaz spake came by; unto whom he said, Ho, such a one! turn aside, sit down here. And he turned aside, and sat down.
Boaz potom iziđe na gradska vrata i sjede ondje. I gle, naiđe onaj skrbnik o kome je govorio. I dozva ga Boaz: “Ej, hodi ovamo i sjedni!” Onaj dođe i sjede.
2 And he took ten men of the elders of the city, and said, Sit ye down here. And they sat down.
Onda Boaz uze deset ljudi između starješina gradskih i reče: “Posjedajte ovdje!” I posjedaše.
3 And he said unto the kinsman, Naomi, that is come again out of the country of Moab, selleth a parcel of land, which was our brother Elimelech’s:
Zatim reče skrbniku: “Noemi, koja se vratila s Moapskih polja, htjela bi prodati ono zemlje našega brata Elimeleka.
4 And I thought to advertise thee, saying, Buy it before the inhabitants, and before the elders of my people. If thou wilt redeem it, redeem it: but if thou wilt not redeem it, then tell me, that I may know: for there is none to redeem it beside thee; and I am after thee. And he said, I will redeem it.
Zato sam odlučio da se s tobom razgovorim i predložim ti: otkupi njivu pred ovima koji sjede ovdje i pred starješinama moga naroda. Ako je kaniš otkupiti, onda otkupi; ako ne kaniš, kaži mi da znam. Jer prije tebe nema nitko pravo na otkup; ja sam na redu tek iza tebe.” A onaj reče: “Hoću, otkupit ću je.”
5 Then said Boaz, What day thou buyest the field of the hand of Naomi, thou must buy it also of Ruth the Moabitess, the wife of the dead, to raise up the name of the dead upon his inheritance.
Onda kaza Boaz: “Kad uzmeš zemlju iz ruke Noemi, treba da uzmeš i Rutu Moapku, pokojnikovu ženu, da se pokojniku sačuva ime na baštini.”
6 And the kinsman said, I cannot redeem it for myself, lest I mar mine own inheritance: redeem thou my right to thyself; for I cannot redeem it.
Ali skrbnik reče: “E, onda ne mogu biti otkupnik, da ne raspem svoje baštine. Otkupi ti po svome skrbničkom pravu jer ja ne mogu.”
7 Now this was the manner in former time in Israel concerning redeeming and concerning changing, for to confirm all things; a man plucked off his shoe, and gave it to his neighbour: and this was a testimony in Israel.
A bijaše od starine običaj u Izraelu: da se čemu potkrijepi valjanost otkupa ili zamjene, čovjek bi izuo sandalu i dao je drugome. To bijaše svjedočanstvo u Izraelu.
8 Therefore the kinsman said unto Boaz, Buy it for thee. So he drew off his shoe.
Tako dakle i onaj skrbnik reče Boazu: “Otkupi ti!” te izu sandalu i dade mu je.
9 And Boaz said unto the elders, and unto all the people, Ye are witnesses this day, that I have bought all that was Elimelech’s, and all that was Chilion’s and Mahlon’s, of the hand of Naomi.
Tada Boaz kaza starješinama i svemu narodu: “Vi ste danas svjedoci da ja otkupljujem iz ruke Noemine sve ono što je bilo Elimelekovo, sve što je bilo Kiljonovo i Mahlonovo.
10 Moreover Ruth the Moabitess, the wife of Mahlon, have I purchased to be my wife, to raise up the name of the dead upon his inheritance, that the name of the dead be not cut off from among his brethren, and from the gate of his place: ye are witnesses this day.
Uz to uzimam za ženu Rutu Moapku, ženu Mahlonovu, da bi se sačuvalo ime pokojnikovo na baštini i da se ime njegovo ne bi zatrlo među braćom njegovom i nestalo s vrata zavičaja njegova. Vi ste danas tome svjedoci.”
11 And all the people that were in the gate, and the elders, said, We are witnesses. The Lord make the woman that is come into thine house like Rachel and like Leah, which two did build the house of Israel: and do thou worthily in Ephratah, and be famous in Beth-lehem:
Sav narod koji se nalazio na vratima gradskim i starješine rekoše: “Svjedoci smo! Dao Jahve da žena koja ulazi u dom tvoj bude kao Rahela i Lea, koje su obje podigle kuću Izraelovu! Obogati se u Efrati, a prodiči u Betlehemu!
12 And let thy house be like the house of Pharez, whom Tamar bare unto Judah, of the seed which the Lord shall give thee of this young woman.
Neka tvoja kuća, po potomstvu koje će ti dati Jahve od ove mlade žene, bude kao kuća Peresa, koga Judi rodi Tamara!”
13 So Boaz took Ruth, and she was his wife: and when he went in unto her, the Lord gave her conception, and she bare a son.
Tako Boaz uze Rutu i ona posta žena njegova. Uđe on k njoj i Jahve joj dade te ona zatrudnje i rodi sina.
14 And the women said unto Naomi, Blessed be the Lord, which hath not left thee this day without a kinsman, that his name may be famous in Israel.
Onda žene rekoše Noemi: “Blagoslovljen bio Jahve koji ti danas nije uskratio skrbnika! I prodičio njegovo ime u Izraelu!
15 And he shall be unto thee a restorer of thy life, and a nourisher of thine old age: for thy daughter in law, which loveth thee, which is better to thee than seven sons, hath born him.
On će biti tvoja utjeha i potpora starosti tvojoj; jer ga rodi snaha tvoja koja te ljubi i koja ti vrijedi više od sedam sinova.”
16 And Naomi took the child, and laid it in her bosom, and became nurse unto it.
Noemi uze dječaka, metnu ga sebi na krilo i bi mu odgojiteljicom.
17 And the women her neighbours gave it a name, saying, There is a son born to Naomi; and they called his name Obed: he is the father of Jesse, the father of David.
Susjede mu nadjenuše ime govoreći: “Noemi se rodio sin!” I prozvaše ga Obed; on je otac Jišaja, oca Davidova.
18 Now these are the generations of Pharez: Pharez begat Hezron,
A ovo je rodoslovlje Peresovo: Peres imade sina Hesrona,
19 And Hezron begat Ram, and Ram begat Amminadab,
Hesron Rama, Ram Aminadaba,
20 And Amminadab begat Nahshon, and Nahshon begat Salmon,
Aminadab Nahšona, Nahšon Salmona,
21 And Salmon begat Boaz, and Boaz begat Obed,
Salmon Boaza, Boaz Obeda,
22 And Obed begat Jesse, and Jesse begat David.
Obed Jišaja, a Jišaj Davida.
