Ruta 2
1 A bijaše jedan èovjek, rod mužu Nojemininu, èovjek bogat od porodice Elimelehove, kojemu ime bijaše Voz.
Now Naomi had a relative on her husband’s side, a prominent man of noble character from the clan of Elimelech, whose name was Boaz.
2 I Ruta Moavka reèe Nojemini: da idem u polje da pabirèim klasje za onijem pred kim naðem milost. A ona joj reèe: idi, kæeri moja.
And Ruth the Moabitess said to Naomi, “Please let me go into the fields and glean heads of grain after someone in whose sight I may find favor.” “Go ahead, my daughter,” Naomi replied.
3 I ona otide, i došavši stade pabirèiti po njivi za žeteocima: i dogodi se, te doðe na njivu koja pripadaše Vozu, koji bijaše od porodice Elimelehove.
So Ruth departed and went out into the field and gleaned after the harvesters. And she happened to come to the part of the field belonging to Boaz, who was from the clan of Elimelech.
4 I gle, doðe Voz iz Vitlejema, i reèe žeteocima: Gospod da je s vama! I oni mu rekoše: da te blagoslovi Gospod!
Just then Boaz arrived from Bethlehem and said to the harvesters, “The LORD be with you.” “The LORD bless you,” they replied.
5 Tada reèe Voz sluzi svojemu koji bijaše nad žeteocima: èija je ona mladica?
And Boaz asked the foreman of his harvesters, “Whose young woman is this?”
6 A sluga koji bješe nad žeteocima odgovori mu: Moavka je mladica koja se vratila s Nojeminom iz zemlje Moavske.
The foreman answered, “She is the Moabitess who returned with Naomi from the land of Moab.
7 I reèe: da pabirèim, da kupim klasje izmeðu snopova za žeteocima. I došavši bavi se od jutra do sada; samo je malo bila kod kuæe.
She has said, ‘Please let me glean and gather among the sheaves after the harvesters.’ So she came out and has continued from morning until now, except that she rested a short time in the shelter.”
8 Tada Voz reèe Ruti: èuješ, kæeri moja; nemoj iæi na drugu njivu da pabirèiš, niti odlazi odavde, nego se drži mojih djevojaka.
Then Boaz said to Ruth, “Listen, my daughter. Do not go and glean in another field, and do not go away from this place, but stay here close to my servant girls.
9 Pazi na kojoj njivi oni žanju, pa idi za njima; jer sam zapovjedio momcima svojim da te niko ne dira; a kad ožedniš, idi k sudovima i pij što moje sluge zahitaju.
Let your eyes be on the field they are harvesting, and follow along after these girls. Indeed, I have ordered the young men not to touch you. And when you are thirsty, go and drink from the jars the young men have filled.”
10 Tada ona pade nièice i pokloni se do zemlje, i reèe mu: kako naðoh milost pred tobom, da me pogledaš, kad sam tuðinka?
At this, she fell on her face, bowing low to the ground, and said to him, “Why have I found such favor in your eyes that you should take notice of me, even though I am a foreigner?”
11 A Voz odgovori i reèe joj: èuo sam ja sve što si èinila svekrvi svojoj po smrti muža svojega, i kako si ostavila oca svojega i mater svoju i postojbinu svoju, pa si došla k narodu kojega nijesi znala prije.
Boaz replied, “I have been made fully aware of all you have done for your mother-in-law since the death of your husband, how you left your father and mother and the land of your birth, and how you came to a people you did not know before.
12 Gospod da ti plati za djelo tvoje, i da ti plata bude potpuna od Gospoda Boga Izrailjeva, kad si došla da se pod krilima njegovijem skloniš.
May the LORD repay your work, and may you receive a rich reward from the LORD, the God of Israel, under whose wings you have taken refuge.”
13 A ona reèe: naðoh milost pred tobom, gospodaru, jer si me utješio i milostivo progovorio sluškinji svojoj, ako i nijesam kao jedna od tvojih sluškinja.
“My lord,” she said, “may I continue to find favor in your eyes, for you have comforted and spoken kindly to your maidservant, though I am not like one of your servant girls.”
14 A Voz joj reèe: kad bude vrijeme jesti, doði ovamo i jedi hljeba i umoèi zalogaj svoj u ocat. I ona sjede pokraj žetelaca, i on joj pruži prženijeh zrna, i ona jede i nasiti se, i preteèe joj.
At mealtime Boaz said to her, “Come over here; have some bread and dip it into the vinegar sauce.” So she sat down beside the harvesters, and he offered her roasted grain, and she ate and was satisfied and had some left over.
15 Potom usta da pabirèi. A Voz zapovjedi momcima svojim govoreæi: neka pabirèi i meðu snopovima, nemojte da je zastidite.
When Ruth got up to glean, Boaz ordered his young men, “Even if she gathers among the sheaves, do not insult her.
16 Nego još navlaš ispuštajte rukoveti i ostavljajte joj neka kupi, i ne korite je.
Rather, pull out for her some stalks from the bundles and leave them for her to gather. Do not rebuke her.”
17 I ona pabirèi na njivi do veèera, i ovrše što napabirèi, i doðe oko efe jeèma.
So Ruth gathered grain in the field until evening. And when she beat out what she had gleaned, it was about an ephah of barley.
18 I uzevši otide u grad, i vidje svekrva njezina šta je napabirèila; a ona izvadi i dade joj i ono što joj je preteklo pošto se nasitila.
She picked up the grain and went into the town, where her mother-in-law saw what she had gleaned. And she brought out what she had saved from her meal and gave it to Naomi.
19 I reèe joj svekrva: gdje si pabirèila danas? i gdje si radila? Da je blagosloven koji te je pogledao! A ona kaza svekrvi svojoj kod koga je radila govoreæi: ime je èovjeku kod kojega sam danas radila Voz.
Then her mother-in-law asked her, “Where did you glean today, and where did you work? Blessed be the man who noticed you.” So she told her mother-in-law where she had worked. “The name of the man I worked with today is Boaz,” she said.
20 A Nojemina reèe snasi svojoj: Gospod da ga blagoslovi, kad nije ukratio milosti svoje k živima i k mrtvima. I reèe joj Nojemina: taj je èovjek nama rod, i jedan od osvetnika naših.
Then Naomi said to her daughter-in-law, “May he be blessed by the LORD, who has not withdrawn His kindness from the living or the dead.” Naomi continued, “The man is a close relative. He is one of our kinsman-redeemers.”
21 A Ruta Moavka reèe: još mi je rekao: drži se moje èeljadi dokle ne požanju sve moje.
Then Ruth the Moabitess said, “He also told me, ‘Stay with my young men until they have finished gathering all my harvest.’”
22 A Nojemina reèe Ruti snasi svojoj: dobro je, kæeri moja, da ideš s njegovijem djevojkama, da te ne bi dirali na drugoj njivi.
And Naomi said to her daughter-in-law Ruth, “My daughter, it is good for you to work with his young women, so that nothing will happen to you in another field.”
23 I tako se držaše djevojaka Vozovijeh pabirèeæi dokle se ne svrši žetva jeèmena i žetva pšenièna; i življaše kod svekrve svoje.
So Ruth stayed close to the servant girls of Boaz to glean grain until the barley and wheat harvests were finished. And she lived with her mother-in-law.
