Ruta 4
1 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.
And Booz went up to the gate, and sat there; and behold, the relative passed by, of whom Booz spoke: and Booz said to him, Turn aside, sit down here, such a one: and he turned aside and sat down.
2 Potom uze Voz deset ljudi izmeðu starješina gradskih i reèe: posjedajte ovdje. I posjedaše.
And Booz took ten men of the elders of the city, and said, Sit you here; and they sat down.
3 Tada reèe onomu osvetniku: njivu koja je bila brata našega Elimeleha prodala je Nojemina, koja se vratila iz zemlje Moavske.
And Booz said to the relative, [The matter regards] the portion of the field which was our brother Elimelech's which was given to Noemin, now returning out of the land of Moab;
4 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.
and I said, I will inform you, saying, Buy it before those that sit, and before the elders of my people: if you will redeem it, redeem it, but if you will not redeem it, tell me, and I shall know; for there is no one beside you to do the office of a kinsman, and I am after you: and he said, I am [here], I will redeem it.
5 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.
And Booz said, In the day of your buying the field of the hand of Noemin and of Ruth the Moabitess the wife of the deceased, you must also buy her, so as to raise up the name of the dead upon his inheritance.
6 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.
And the kinsman said, I shall not be able to redeem it for myself, lest I mar my own inheritance; do you redeem my right for yourself, for I shall not be able to redeem [it].
7 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.
And this [was] in former time the ordinance in Israel for redemption, and for a bargain, to confirm every word: A man loosed his shoe, and gave it to his neighbour that redeemed his right; and this was a testimony in Israel.
8 Kad dakle onaj osvetnik reèe Vozu: uzmi ti, izu obuæu svoju.
And the kinsman said to Booz, Buy my right for yourself: and he took off his shoe and gave it to him.
9 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;
And Booz said to the elders and to all the people, You [are] this day witnesses, that I have bought all that was Elimelech's, and all that belonged to Chelaion and Maalon, of the hand of Noemin.
10 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.
Moreover I have bought for myself for a wife Ruth the Moabitess, the wife of Maalon, to raise up the name of the dead upon his inheritance; so the name of the dead shall not be destroyed from amongst his brethren, and from the tribe of his people: you [are] this day witnesses.
11 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!
And all the people who were in the gate said, [We are] witnesses: and the elders said, The Lord make your wife who goes into your house, as Rachel and as Lia, who both [together] built the house of Israel, and wrought mightily in Ephratha, and there shall be a name [to you] in Bethleem.
12 I od sjemena koje ti Gospod da od te žene, da postane dom tvoj kao dom Faresa kojega rodi Tamara Judi.
And let your house be as the house of Phares, whom Thamar bore to Juda, of the seed which the Lord shall give you of this handmaid.
13 I tako uze Voz Rutu i bi mu žena, i on leže s njom, i Gospod joj dade te zatrudnje, i rodi sina.
And Booz took Ruth, and she became his wife, and he went in to her; and the Lord gave her conception, and she bore a son.
14 I rekoše žene Nojemini: da je blagosloven Gospod koji te nije ostavio danas bez osvetnika, da se ime njegovo slavi u Izrailju!
And the woman said to Noemin, Blessed [is] the Lord, who has not suffered a redeemer to fail you this day, even to make your name famous in Israel.
15 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.
And he shall be to you a restorer of your soul, and one to cherish your old age; for your daughter-in-law which has loved you, who is better to you than seven sons, has born him.
16 I uze Nojemina dijete, i metnu ga na krilo svoje, i bješe mu dadilja.
And Noemin took the child and laid it in her bosom, and became a nurse to it.
17 I susjede nadješe mu ime govoreæi: rodi se sin Nojemini, i prozvaše ga Ovid. On bi otac Jeseja oca Davidova.
And the neighbours gave it a name, saying, A son has been born to Noemin; and they called his name Obed; this [is] the father of Jessae the father of David.
18 A ovo je pleme Faresovo: Fares rodi Esroma;
And these [are] the generations of Phares: Phares begot Esrom:
19 A Esrom rodi Arama; a Aram rodi Aminadava;
Esrom begot Aram; and Aram begot Aminadab.
20 A Aminadav rodi Nasona; a Nason rodi Salmona;
And Aminadab begot Naasson; and Naasson begot Salmon.
21 A Salmon rodi Voza; a Voz rodi Ovida;
And Salmon begot Booz; and Booz begot Obed.
22 A Ovid rodi Jeseja; a Jesej rodi Davida.
And Obed begot Jessae; and Jessae begot David.
