Ruta 3
1 Potom reèe joj Nojemina svekrva njezina: kæeri moja, ne treba li da ti potražim poèinka, da bi ti dobro bilo?
And her mother-in-law Naomi says to her, “My daughter, do I not seek rest for you, that it may be well with you?
2 Evo, nije li nam rod Voz, kod kojega si bila s djevojkama njegovijem? evo, on æe ovu noæ vijati jeèam na gumnu.
And now, is not Boaz of our acquaintance, with whose young women you have been? Behold, he is winnowing the threshing-floor of barley tonight,
3 Umij se dakle, i namaži se, i obuci haljine svoje na se, pa idi na gumno; ali da ne dozna za te èovjek dokle ne jede i ne napije se.
and you have bathed, and anointed yourself, and put your garments on you, and gone down to the threshing-floor; do not let yourself be known to the man until he completes to eat and to drink;
4 Pa kad legne, zapamti mjesto gdje legne, pa onda otidi i digni pokrivaè s nogu njegovijeh, te lezi ondje; a on æe ti kazati šta æeš raditi.
and it comes to pass, when he lies down, that you have known the place where he lies down, and have gone in, and uncovered his feet, and lain down—and he declares to you that which you do.”
5 A Ruta joj reèe: što mi god kažeš, uèiniæu.
And she says to her, “All that you say—I do.”
6 I otide na gumno i uèini sve što joj zapovjedi svekrva.
And she goes down [to] the threshing-floor, and does according to all that her mother-in-law commanded her
7 A Voz jedavši i pivši i proveselivši se otide te leže kod stoga; a ona doðe polako, podiže pokrivaè s nogu njegovijeh i leže.
And Boaz eats and drinks, and his heart is glad; and he goes in to lie down at the end of the heap; and she comes in gently, and uncovers his feet, and lies down.
8 A kad bi oko ponoæi trže se èovjek i obrnu se, a gle, žena ležaše kod nogu njegovijeh.
And it comes to pass, at the middle of the night, that the man trembles, and turns himself, and behold, a woman is lying at his feet.
9 I on joj reèe: ko si? Odgovori: ja sam Ruta sluškinja tvoja; raširi krilo svoje na sluškinju svoju, jer si mi osvetnik.
And he says, “Who [are] you?” And she says, “I [am] Ruth your handmaid, and you have spread your skirt over your handmaid, for you [are] a redeemer.”
10 A on reèe: Gospod da te blagoslovi, kæeri moja; ova potonja milost koju mi pokazuješ veæa je od prve, što nijesi tražila mladiæa, ni siromašna ni bogata.
And he says, “Blessed [are] you of YHWH, my daughter; you have dealt more kindly at the latter end than at the beginning—not to go after the young men, either poor or rich.
11 Zato sada, kæeri moja, ne boj se; što god reèeš uèiniæu ti; jer zna cijelo mjesto naroda mojega da si poštena žena.
And now, my daughter, do not fear, all that you say I do to you, for all the gate of my people knows that you [are] a virtuous woman.
12 Jest istina, ja sam ti osvetnik; ali ima jošte bliži od mene.
And now, surely, true, that I [am] a redeemer, but also there is a redeemer nearer than I.
13 Prenoæi ovdje; pa sjutra ako te htjedbude uzeti, dobro, neka uzme; ako li ne htjedbude uzeti, ja æu te uzeti, tako živ bio Gospod! Spavaj do jutra.
Lodge tonight, and it has been in the morning, if he redeems you, well: he redeems; and if he does not delight to redeem you, then I have redeemed you—I; YHWH lives! Lie down until the morning.”
14 I ona spava kod nogu njegovijeh do jutra; potom usta dok još ne mogaše èovjek èovjeka raspoznati, jer Voz reèe: da se ne dozna da je žena dolazila na gumno.
And she lies down at his feet until the morning, and rises before one discerns another; and he says, “Let it not be known that the woman has come into the floor.”
15 I reèe: daj ogrtaè koji imaš na sebi; i drži ga. I ona ga podrža, a on joj izmjeri šest mjerica jeèma, i naprti joj i ona otide u grad.
And he says, “Give the covering which [is] on you, and keep hold on it”; and she keeps hold on it, and he measures six [measures] of barley, and lays [it] on her; and he goes into the city.
16 I doðe svekrvi svojoj, koja joj reèe: šta bi, kæeri moja? A ona joj kaza sve što joj uèini onaj èovjek.
And she comes to her mother-in-law, and she says, “Who [are] you, my daughter?” And she declares to her all that the man has done to her.
17 I reèe: ovijeh šest mjerica jeèma dade mi, jer mi reèe: nemoj se vratiti prazna k svekrvi svojoj.
And she says, “These six [measures] of barley he has given to me, for he said, You do not go in empty to your mother-in-law.”
18 A ona joj reèe: poèekaj, kæeri moja, dok doznaš kako æe izaæi; jer onaj èovjek neæe se smiriti dok ne svrši stvar danas.
And she says, “Sit still, my daughter, until you know how the matter falls, for the man does not rest except he has completed the matter today.”
