< 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.
A Voz izide na vrata gradska, i sjede ondje. I gle, naiðe onaj osvetnik, za kojega Voz govoraše, i reèe mu Voz: hodi ovamo, sjedi ovdje. I on doðe i sjede.
2 And he taketh ten men of the elders of the city, and saith, 'Sit down here;' and they sit down.
Potom uze Voz deset ljudi izmeðu starješina gradskih i reèe: 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;
Tada reèe onomu osvetniku: njivu koja je bila brata našega Elimeleha prodala je Nojemina, koja se vratila iz zemlje Moavske.
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 rekoh: da javim tebi, i kažem ti: uzmi njivu pred ovima što sjede ovdje i pred starješinama naroda mojega; ako æeš otkupiti, otkupi; ako li neæeš otkupiti, kaži mi da znam; jer osim tebe nema drugoga koji bi otkupio, a poslije tebe idem ja. A on reèe: ja æu otkupiti.
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.'
A Voz reèe: u koji dan uzmeš njivu iz ruke Nojeminine, treba da uzmeš i Rutu Moavku ženu umrloga, da podigneš ime umrlomu u našljedstvu njegovu.
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.'
Tada reèe onaj osvetnik: ne mogu otkupiti, da ne raspem svojega našljedstva; otkupi ti što bi trebalo da ja otkupim, jer ja ne mogu otkupiti.
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 obièaj u Izrailju o otkupljivanju i promijenjivanju, da bi svaka stvar bila tvrda, da jedan izuje obuæu svoju i da drugomu, i to bijaše svedodžba u Izrailju.
8 And the redeemer saith to Boaz, 'Buy [it] for thyself,' and draweth off his sandal.
Kad dakle onaj osvetnik reèe Vozu: uzmi ti, izu obuæu svoju.
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;
A Voz reèe starješinama i svemu narodu: vi ste svjedoci danas da sam otkupio iz ruke Nojeminine što je god bilo Elimelehovo i što je god bilo Heleonovo i Malonovo;
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.'
I da sam uzeo za ženu Rutu Moavku ženu Malonovu da podignem ime umrlomu u našljedstvu njegovu, da ne bi poginulo ime umrlomu meðu braæom njegovom i u mjestu njegovu; vi ste svjedoci danas.
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;
I sav narod koji bijaše na vratima gradskim i starješine rekoše: svjedoci smo; da da Gospod da žena koja dolazi u dom tvoj bude kao Rahilja i Lija, koje obje sazidaše dom Izrailjev; bogati se u Efrati, i proslavi ime svoje u Vitlejemu!
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.'
I od sjemena koje ti Gospod da od te žene, da postane dom tvoj kao dom Faresa kojega rodi Tamara Judi.
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.
I tako uze Voz Rutu i bi mu žena, i on leže s njom, i Gospod joj dade te 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,
I rekoše žene Nojemini: da je blagosloven Gospod koji te nije ostavio danas bez osvetnika, da se ime njegovo slavi u Izrailju!
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 æe ti utješiti dušu i biæe potpora starosti tvojoj, jer ga rodi snaha tvoja koja te ljubi i koja ti je bolja nego sedam sinova.
16 And Naomi taketh the lad, and layeth him in her bosom, and is to him for a nurse;
I uze Nojemina dijete, i metnu ga na krilo svoje, i bješe mu dadilja.
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.
I susjede nadješe mu ime govoreæi: rodi se sin Nojemini, i prozvaše ga Ovid. On bi otac Jeseja oca Davidova.
18 And these are genealogies of Pharez: Pharez begat Hezron,
A ovo je pleme Faresovo: Fares rodi Esroma;
19 and Hezron begat Ram, and Ram begat Amminidab,
A Esrom rodi Arama; a Aram rodi Aminadava;
20 and Amminidab begat Nahshon, and Nahshon begat Salmon,
A Aminadav rodi Nasona; a Nason rodi Salmona;
21 and Salmon begat Boaz, and Boaz begat Obed,
A Salmon rodi Voza; a Voz rodi Ovida;
22 and Obed begat Jesse, and Jesse begat David.
A Ovid rodi Jeseja; a Jesej rodi Davida.
