Ruta 2
1 A bijaše jedan èovjek, rod mužu Nojemininu, èovjek bogat od porodice Elimelehove, kojemu ime bijaše Voz.
Now Naomi had a relative of her husband, a worthy man of 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.
Ruth, the Moabite woman, said to Naomi, “Now let me go and glean what remains among the ears of grain in the fields. I will follow anyone in whose eyes I will find favor.” So Naomi said to 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.
Ruth went and gleaned what remained in the fields after they had harvested it. She happened to come to the portion of the fields belonging to Boaz, who was of the clan of Elimelek.
4 I gle, doðe Voz iz Vitlejema, i reèe žeteocima: Gospod da je s vama! I oni mu rekoše: da te blagoslovi Gospod!
Behold, Boaz came from Bethlehem and said to the reapers, “May Yahweh be with you.” They answered him, “May Yahweh bless you.”
5 Tada reèe Voz sluzi svojemu koji bijaše nad žeteocima: èija je ona mladica?
Then Boaz said to his servant who was supervising the reapers, “What man does this young woman belong to?”
6 A sluga koji bješe nad žeteocima odgovori mu: Moavka je mladica koja se vratila s Nojeminom iz zemlje Moavske.
The servant supervising the reapers answered and said, “It is the young Moabite woman who came back 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 said to me, 'Please let me glean what remains in the field after the workers harvest the crop.' So she came here and has continued from the morning until now, except that she rested a little in the house.”
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, “Are you listening to me, my daughter? Do not go and glean in another field; do not leave my field. Instead, stay here and work with my young female workers.
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.
Keep your eyes only on the field where the men are reaping and follow behind the other women. Have I not instructed the men not to touch you? Whenever you are thirsty, you may go to the waterpots and drink the water that the men have drawn.”
10 Tada ona pade nièice i pokloni se do zemlje, i reèe mu: kako naðoh milost pred tobom, da me pogledaš, kad sam tuðinka?
Then she bowed down before Boaz, touching her face to the ground. She said to him, “Why have I found such favor in your eyes that you should be concerned about me, 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 answered and said to her, “It has been reported to me, all that you have done since the death of your husband. You have left your father, mother, and the land of your birth to follow your mother-in-law and to come to a people you do not know.
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 Yahweh reward you for your deed. May you receive full payment from Yahweh, the God of Israel, under whose wings you have found 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.
Then she said, “Let me find favor in your eyes, my master, for you have comforted me, and you have spoken kindly to me, though I am not one of your female servants.”
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 Ruth, “Come here, and eat some of the bread, and dip your morsel in the wine vinegar.” She sat beside the reapers, and he offered her some roasted grain. She ate until she was satisfied and left the rest of it.
15 Potom usta da pabirèi. A Voz zapovjedi momcima svojim govoreæi: neka pabirèi i meðu snopovima, nemojte da je zastidite.
As she got up to gather up grain, Boaz commanded his young men, saying, “Let her gather up the grain even among the bundles, and do not tell her not to.
16 Nego još navlaš ispuštajte rukoveti i ostavljajte joj neka kupi, i ne korite je.
Also pull out for her some ears of grain from the bundles, and leave them for her to gather up, and do not rebuke her.”
17 I ona pabirèi na njivi do veèera, i ovrše što napabirèi, i doðe oko efe jeèma.
So she gleaned in the field until evening. Then she beat out the ears of grain that she had gathered, and the grain 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 lifted it up and went into the city. Then her mother-in-law saw what she had gathered. Ruth also brought out the roasted grain left from her meal and gave it to her.
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.
Her mother-in-law said to her, “Where have you gleaned today? Where did you go to work? May the man who helped you be blessed.” Then Ruth told her mother-in-law about the man who owned the field where she had worked. She said, “The name of the man who owns the field where I worked today is Boaz.”
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.
Naomi said to her daughter-in-law, “May he be blessed by Yahweh, who has not left off his loyalty to the living and to the dead.” Naomi said to her, “That man is near of kin to us, one of our kinsman-redeemers.”
21 A Ruta Moavka reèe: još mi je rekao: drži se moje èeljadi dokle ne požanju sve moje.
Ruth the Moabite woman said, “Indeed, he said to me, 'You should keep close to my young men until they have finished 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.
Naomi said to Ruth her daughter-in-law, “It is good, my daughter, that you go out with his young female workers, so that you do not come to harm in any other field.”
23 I tako se držaše djevojaka Vozovijeh pabirèeæi dokle se ne svrši žetva jeèmena i žetva pšenièna; i življaše kod svekrve svoje.
So she stayed close to Boaz's female workers in order to glean to the end of the barley harvest and the wheat harvest. She lived with her mother-in-law.
