Ruth 2
1 Naomi had a relative of her husband’s, a mighty man of wealth, of the family of Elimelech, and his name was Boaz.
Noemi imaše rođaka po mužu, čovjeka vrlo imućna, iz porodice Elimelekove: zvao se Boaz.
2 Ruth the Moabitess said to Naomi, “Let me now go to the field, and glean among the ears of grain after him in whose sight I find favor.” She said to her, “Go, my daughter.”
Tada Ruta Moapka reče Noemi: “Htjela bih ići u polje pabirčiti klasje za onim u koga nađem milost.” Ona joj odgovori: “Hajde, kćeri moja!”
3 She went, and came and gleaned in the field after the reapers; and she happened to come to the portion of the field belonging to Boaz, who was of the family of Elimelech.
I ode, dođe u polje te poče pabirčiti za žeteocima. A sreća je dovede u polje koje pripadaše Boazu, iz roda Elimelekova.
4 Behold, Boaz came from Bethlehem, and said to the reapers, “May the LORD be with you.” They answered him, “May the LORD bless you.”
I gle, dođe Boaz iz Betlehema. “Jahve bio s vama!” - pozdravi on žeteoce. A oni mu odgovoriše: “Jahve te blagoslovio!”
5 Then Boaz said to his servant who was set over the reapers, “Whose young lady is this?”
Boaz će nato momku koji je nadzirao žeteoce: “Čija je ona mlada žena?”
6 The servant who was set over the reapers answered, “It is the Moabite lady who came back with Naomi out of the country of Moab.
A momak koji bijaše nad žeteocima odgovori: “Ono je mlada Moapka što je došla prateći Noemi s Moapskih poljana.
7 She said, ‘Please let me glean and gather after the reapers among the sheaves.’ So she came, and has continued even from the morning until now, except that she rested a little in the house.”
Pitala je: 'Smijem li pabirčiti i kupiti klasje između snopova za žeteocima?' I došla je, eto, i ostala od ranog jutra sve dosad; i samo je malo ušla u kuću.”
8 Then Boaz said to Ruth, “Listen, my daughter. Don’t go to glean in another field, and don’t go from here, but stay here close to my maidens.
Onda Boaz reče Ruti: “Čuj me, kćeri moja, ne idi pabirčiti u drugoga nego se drži mojih njiva i mojih poslenika.
9 Let your eyes be on the field that they reap, and go after them. Haven’t I commanded the young men not to touch you? When you are thirsty, go to the vessels, and drink from that which the young men have drawn.”
Pazi na kojoj njivi oni žanju, pa idi za njima. A naredio sam momcima da te nitko ne dira. Kad ožedniš, idi k posudama i pij što moje sluge zahitaju.”
10 Then she fell on her face and bowed herself to the ground, and said to him, “Why have I found favor in your sight, that you should take knowledge of me, since I am a foreigner?”
Ona tada pade ničice, pokloni se do zemlje i reče: “Čime sam stekla toliku milost u očima tvojim da mi posvećuješ pažnju kad sam tuđinka?”
11 Boaz answered her, “I have been told all about what you have done for your mother-in-law since the death of your husband, and how you have left your father, your mother, and the land of your birth, and have come to a people that you didn’t know before.
Boaz joj odgovori: “Čuo sam što si sve učinila za svoju svekrvu poslije smrti svoga muža; kako si ostavila oca svoga, majku svoju i zavičaj svoj te došla u narod kojega do jučer ili prekjučer nisi poznavala.
12 May the LORD repay your work, and a full reward be given to you from the LORD, the God of Israel, under whose wings you have come to take refuge.”
Neka ti Jahve plati sve što si učinila i neka ti udijeli pravu nagradu Jahve, Bog Izraelov, kad si došla da se pod krila njegova skloniš!”
13 Then she said, “Let me find favor in your sight, my lord, because you have comforted me, and because you have spoken kindly to your servant, though I am not as one of your servants.”
Ona preuze: “Kad bih mogla uvijek nalaziti milost u tvojim očima, gospodaru, jer si me utješio i milostivo progovorio sluškinji svojoj, ako i nisam kao jedna od tvojih sluškinja.”
14 At meal time Boaz said to her, “Come here, and eat some bread, and dip your morsel in the vinegar.” She sat beside the reapers, and they passed her parched grain. She ate, was satisfied, and left some of it.
Kad bijaše vrijeme ručku, Boaz joj reče: “Hodi ovamo, jedi ovog kruha i umoči svoj zalogaj u ocat!” Ona sjede pokraj žetelaca, a on stavi pred nju prženih zrna. Jela je i nasitila se i još joj preteče.
15 When she had risen up to glean, Boaz commanded his young men, saying, “Let her glean even among the sheaves, and don’t reproach her.
Kad je ustala da pabirči dalje, Boaz zapovjedi svojim slugama: “I među snopljem neka ona pabirči, a vi joj nemojte zanovijetati.
16 Also pull out some for her from the bundles, and leave it. Let her glean, and don’t rebuke her.”
Nego navlaš ispuštajte klasove iz svojih rukoveti i ostavljajte joj neka kÓupi i nemojte je koriti!”
17 So she gleaned in the field until evening; and she beat out that which she had gleaned, and it was about an ephah of barley.
I tako je pabirčila sve do večeri, pa onda ovrše ono što je napabirčila: bijaše otprilike jedna efa ječma.
18 She took it up, and went into the city. Then her mother-in-law saw what she had gleaned; and she brought out and gave to her that which she had left after she had enough.
Uze ona svoje i dođe u grad, a svekrva vidje koliko je napabirčila. Tada Ruta izvadi i dade joj što joj bijaše preteklo pošto se nasitila.
19 Her mother-in-law said to her, “Where have you gleaned today? Where have you worked? Blessed be he who noticed you.” She told her mother-in-law with whom she had worked, “The man’s name with whom I worked today is Boaz.”
Svekrva je upita: “Gdje si pabirčila danas? Gdje si radila? Neka je blagoslovljen onaj koji je pogledao na te!” Onda ona pripovjedi svekrvi kod koga je radila i reče: “Čovjek u koga sam danas radila zove se Boaz.”
20 Naomi said to her daughter-in-law, “May he be blessed by the LORD, who has not abandoned his kindness to the living and to the dead.” Naomi said to her, “The man is a close relative to us, one of our near kinsmen.”
Tada će Noemi svojoj snasi: “Neka Jahve blagoslovi onoga koji ne uskraćuje dobrote svoje ni živima ni mrtvima!” I dometnu Noemi: “Taj je čovjek naš rod; jedan od naših skrbnika.”
21 Ruth the Moabitess said, “Yes, he said to me, ‘You shall stay close to my young men until they have finished all my harvest.’”
Ruta Moapka pripovjedi dalje: “Još mi reče: 'Drži se mojih poslenika dokle ne požanju sve moje!'”
22 Naomi said to Ruth her daughter-in-law, “It is good, my daughter, that you go out with his maidens, and that they not meet you in any other field.”
Noemi nato reče Ruti, snasi svojoj: “Dobro je, kćeri moja, idi za njegovim poslenicima da ti ne bude neprilike na kojoj drugoj njivi.”
23 So she stayed close to the maidens of Boaz, to glean to the end of barley harvest and of wheat harvest; and she lived with her mother-in-law.
I tako se držala poslenika Boazovih i pabirčila dokle ne požeše i ječam i pšenicu. I živjela je kod svekrve svoje.
