Ruta 2
1 A bijaše jedan èovjek, rod mužu Nojemininu, èovjek bogat od porodice Elimelehove, kojemu ime bijaše Voz.
Now her husband Elimelech had a kinsman, a powerful man, and very rich, whose name was Booz.
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 her mother in law: If thou wilt, I will go into the field, and glean the ears of corn that escape the hands of the reapers, wheresoever I shall find grace with a householder that will be favourable to me. And she answered her: Go, my daughter.
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.
She went therefore and gleaned the ears of corn after the reapers. And it happened that the owner of that field was Booz, who was of the kindred 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!
And behold, he came out of Bethlehem, and said to the reapers: The Lord be with you. And they answered him: The Lord bless thee.
5 Tada reèe Voz sluzi svojemu koji bijaše nad žeteocima: èija je ona mladica?
And Booz said to the young man that was set over the reapers: Whose maid is this?
6 A sluga koji bješe nad žeteocima odgovori mu: Moavka je mladica koja se vratila s Nojeminom iz zemlje Moavske.
And he answered him: This is the Moabitess who came with Noemi, 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.
And she desired leave to glean the ears of corn that remain, following the steps of the reapers: and she hath been in the field from morning till now, and hath not gone home for one moment.
8 Tada Voz reèe Ruti: èuješ, kæeri moja; nemoj iæi na drugu njivu da pabirèiš, niti odlazi odavde, nego se drži mojih djevojaka.
And Booz said to Ruth: Hear me, daughter, do not go to glean in any other field, and do not depart from this place: but keep with my maids,
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.
And follow where they reap. For I have charged my young men, not to molest thee: and if thou art thirsty, go to the vessels, and drink of the waters whereof the servants drink.
10 Tada ona pade nièice i pokloni se do zemlje, i reèe mu: kako naðoh milost pred tobom, da me pogledaš, kad sam tuðinka?
She fell on her face and worshipping upon the ground, said to him: Whence cometh this to me, that I should find grace before thy eyes, and that thou shouldst vouchsafe to take notice of me a woman of another country?
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.
And he answered her: All hath been told me, that thou hast done to thy mother in law after the death of thy husband: and how thou hast left thy parents, and the land wherein thou wast born, and art come to a people which thou knewest not heretofore.
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.
The Lord render unto thee for thy work, and mayest thou receive a full reward of the Lord the God of Israel, to whom thou art come, and under whose wings thou art fled.
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.
And she said: I have found grace in thy eyes, my lord, who hast comforted me and hast spoken to the heart of thy handmaid, who am not like to one of thy maids.
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.
And Booz said to her: At mealtime come thou hither, and eat of the bread, and dip thy morsel in the vinegar. So she sat at the side of the reapers, and she heaped to herself frumenty, and ate and was filled, and took the leavings.
15 Potom usta da pabirèi. A Voz zapovjedi momcima svojim govoreæi: neka pabirèi i meðu snopovima, nemojte da je zastidite.
And she arose from thence, to glean the ears of corn as before. And Booz commanded his servants, saying: If she would even reap with you, hinder her not:
16 Nego još navlaš ispuštajte rukoveti i ostavljajte joj neka kupi, i ne korite je.
And let fall some of your handfuls of purpose, and leave them, that she may gather them without shame, and let no man rebuke her when she gathereth them.
17 I ona pabirèi na njivi do veèera, i ovrše što napabirèi, i doðe oko efe jeèma.
She gleaned therefore in the field till evening: and beating out with a rod and threshing what she had gleaned, she found about the measure of an ephi of barley, that is, three bushels:
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.
Which she took up and returned into the city, and shewed it to her mother in law: moreover she brought out, and gave her of the remains of her meat, wherewith she had been filled.
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.
And her mother in law said to her: Where hast thou gleaned today, and where hast thou wrought? blessed be he that hath had pity on thee. And she told her with whom she had wrought: and she told the man’s name, that he was called Booz.
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.
And Noemi answered her: Blessed be he of the Lord: because the same kindness which he shewed to the living, he hath kept also to the dead. And again she said: The man is our kinsman.
21 A Ruta Moavka reèe: još mi je rekao: drži se moje èeljadi dokle ne požanju sve moje.
And Ruth said, He also charged me, that I should keep close to his reapers, till all the corn should be reaped.
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 her mother in law said to her: It is better for thee, my daughter, to go out to reap with his maids, lest in another man’s field some one may resist thee.
23 I tako se držaše djevojaka Vozovijeh pabirèeæi dokle se ne svrši žetva jeèmena i žetva pšenièna; i življaše kod svekrve svoje.
So she kept close to the maids of Booz: and continued to glean with them, till all the barley and the wheat were laid up in the barns.
