Ruth 4
1 And Boaz hath gone up to the gate, and sitteth there, and lo, the redeemer is passing by of whom Boaz had spoken, and he saith, 'Turn aside, sit down here, such a one, such a one;' and he turneth aside and sitteth 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 taketh ten men of the elders of the city, and saith, 'Sit down here;' and they sit down.
Onda Boaz uze deset ljudi između starješina gradskih i reče: “Posjedajte ovdje!” I posjedaše.
3 And he saith to the redeemer, 'A portion of the field which [is] to our brother, to Elimelech, hath Naomi sold, who hath come back from the fields of Moab;
Zatim reče skrbniku: “Noemi, koja se vratila s Moapskih polja, htjela bi prodati ono zemlje našega brata Elimeleka.
4 and I said, I uncover thine ear, saying, Buy before the inhabitants, and before the elders of my people; if thou dost redeem — redeem, and if none doth redeem — declare to me, and I know, for there is none save thee to redeem, and I after thee.' And he saith, I 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 And Boaz saith, 'In the day of thy buying the field from the hand of Naomi, then from Ruth the Moabitess, wife of the dead, thou hast bought [it], to raise up the name of the dead over 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 redeemer saith, 'I am not able to redeem [it] for myself, lest I destroy mine inheritance; redeem for thyself — thou — my right of redemption, for I am not able to redeem.'
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 And this [is] formerly in Israel for redemption and for changing, to establish anything: a man hath drawn off his sandal, and given [it] to his neighbour, and this [is] the 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 And the redeemer saith to Boaz, 'Buy [it] for thyself,' and draweth off his sandal.
Tako dakle i onaj skrbnik reče Boazu: “Otkupi ti!” te izu sandalu i dade mu je.
9 And Boaz saith to the elders, and [to] all the people, 'Witnesses [are] ye to-day that I have bought all that [is] to Elimelech, and all that [is] to Chilion and Mahlon, from 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 and also Ruth the Moabitess, wife of Mahlon, I have bought to myself for a wife, to raise up the name of the dead over his inheritance; and the name of the dead is not cut off from among his brethren, and from the gate of his place; witnesses ye [are] to-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 who [are] in the gate say — also the elders — 'Witnesses! Jehovah make the woman who is coming in unto thy house as Rachel and as Leah, both of whom built the house of Israel; and do thou virtuously in Ephrathah, and proclaim the Name 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 as the house of Pharez (whom Tamar bare to Judah), of the seed which Jehovah doth give to 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 And Boaz taketh Ruth, and she becometh his wife, and he goeth in unto her, and Jehovah giveth to her conception, and she beareth 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 say unto Naomi, 'Blessed [is] Jehovah who hath not let a redeemer cease to thee to-day, and his name is proclaimed in Israel,
Onda žene rekoše Noemi: “Blagoslovljen bio Jahve koji ti danas nije uskratio skrbnika! I prodičio njegovo ime u Izraelu!
15 and he hath been to thee for a restorer of life, and for a nourisher of thine old age, for thy daughter-in-law who hath loved thee — who is better to thee than seven sons — hath borne 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 taketh the lad, and layeth him in her bosom, and is to him for a nurse;
Noemi uze dječaka, metnu ga sebi na krilo i bi mu odgojiteljicom.
17 and the neighbouring women give to him a name, saying, 'There hath been a son born to Naomi,' and they call his name Obed; he [is] father of Jesse, father of David.
Susjede mu nadjenuše ime govoreći: “Noemi se rodio sin!” I prozvaše ga Obed; on je otac Jišaja, oca Davidova.
18 And these are genealogies of Pharez: Pharez begat Hezron,
A ovo je rodoslovlje Peresovo: Peres imade sina Hesrona,
19 and Hezron begat Ram, and Ram begat Amminidab,
Hesron Rama, Ram Aminadaba,
20 and Amminidab 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.
