Ruta 1
1 A u ono vrijeme kad suðahu sudije bi glad u zemlji; i jedan èovjek iz Vitlejema Judina otide da živi kao došljak u zemlji Moavskoj sa ženom svojom i sa dva sina svoja.
And it comes to pass, in [the] days [when] the ones judging judge, that there is a famine in the land, and there goes a man from Beth-Lehem-Judah to sojourn in the fields of Moab, he, and his wife, and his two sons.
2 A ime tomu èovjeku bješe Elimeleh, a ženi mu ime Nojemina, a imena dvojice sinova njegovijeh Malon i Heleon; i bijahu Efraæani, iz Vitlejema Judina; i doðoše u zemlju Moavsku i nastaniše se ondje.
And the name of the man [is] Elimelech, and the name of his wife Naomi, and the name of his two sons Mahlon and Chilion, Ephraimites from Beth-Lehem-Judah; and they come into the fields of Moab, and are there.
3 Potom umrije Elimeleh muž Nojeminin i ona osta sa dva sina svoja.
And Elimelech husband of Naomi dies, and she is left, she and her two sons;
4 Oni se oženiše Moavkama: jednoj bješe ime Orfa a drugoj Ruta; i ondje stajahu do deset godina.
and they take to them wives, Moabitesses: the name of the first [is] Orpah, and the name of the second Ruth; and they dwell there about ten years.
5 Potom umriješe obojica, Malon i Heleon; i žena osta bez dva sina svoja i bez muža svojega.
And they die also, both of them—Mahlon and Chilion—and the woman is left of her two children and of her husband.
6 Tada se ona podiže sa snahama svojima da se vrati iz zemlje Moavske, jer èu u zemlji Moavskoj da je Gospod pohodio narod svoj davši im hljeba.
And she rises, she and her daughters-in-law, and turns back from the fields of Moab, for she has heard in the fields of Moab that God has looked after His people—to give to them bread.
7 I izide iz mjesta gdje bijaše, i obje snahe njezine s njom; poðoše putem da se vrate u zemlju Judinu.
And she goes out from the place where she has been, and her two daughters-in-law with her, and they go in the way to return to the land of Judah.
8 Tada reèe Nojemina objema snahama svojima: idite, vratite se svaka u dom matere svoje; Gospod neka vam uèini milost kao što vi uèiniste umrlima i meni.
And Naomi says to her two daughters-in-law, “Go, return, each to the house of her mother; YHWH does with you kindness as you have done with the dead, and with me;
9 Da vam da Gospod da naðete poèinak svaka u domu muža svojega. I poljubi ih; a one povikavši zaplakaše,
YHWH grants to you, and you find rest each in the house of her husband”; and she kisses them, and they lift up their voice and weep.
10 I rekoše joj: ne, nego æemo se s tobom vratiti u tvoj narod.
And they say to her, “Surely with you we go back to your people.”
11 A Nojemina im reèe: idite natrag, kæeri moje; što biste išle sa mnom? zar æu još imati sinova u utrobi svojoj da vam budu muževi?
And Naomi says, “Turn back, my daughters; why do you go with me? Are there yet to me sons in my bowels that they have been to you for husbands?
12 Vratite se, kæeri moje, idite; jer sam ostarjela i nijesam za udaju. A i da kažem da se nadam i da se još noæas udam, i da rodim sinove,
Turn back, my daughters, go, for I am too aged to be to a husband; though I had said, There is for me hope, also, I have been tonight to a husband, and also I have borne sons:
13 Zar æete ih vi èekati dok odrastu? zar æete toga radi stajati neudate? Nemojte, kæeri moje; jer su moji jadi veæi od vaših, jer se ruka Gospodnja podigla na me.
do you wait for them until they grow up? Do you shut yourselves up for them, not to be to a husband? No, my daughters, for more bitter to me than to you, for the hand of YHWH has gone out against me.”
14 Tada one podigavši glas svoj plakaše opet; i Orfa poljubi svekrvu svoju; a Ruta osta kod nje.
And they lift up their voice, and weep again, and Orpah kisses her mother-in-law, and Ruth has cleaved to her.
15 A ona joj reèe: eto, jetrva se tvoja vratila narodu svojemu i k bogovima svojim; vrati se i ti za jetrvom svojom.
And she says, “Behold, your sister-in-law has turned back to her people, and to her god, turn back after your sister-in-law.”
16 Ali Ruta reèe: nemoj me nagovarati da te ostavim i od tebe otidem; jer kuda god ti ideš, idem i ja; i gdje se god ti nastaniš, nastaniæu se i ja; tvoj je narod moj narod, i tvoj je Bog moj Bog.
And Ruth says, “Do not urge me to leave you—to turn back from after you; for to where you go I go, and where you lodge I lodge; your people [is] my people, and your God my God.
17 Gdje ti umriješ, umrijeæu i ja, i ondje æu biti pogrebena. To neka mi uèini Gospod i to neka mi doda, smrt æe me samo rastaviti s tobom.
Where you die I die, and there I am buried; thus does YHWH to me, and thus He adds—for death itself parts between me and you.”
18 A ona kad vidje da je tvrdo naumila iæi s njom, presta je odvraæati.
And she sees that she is strengthening herself to go with her, and she ceases to speak to her;
19 Tako idoše obje dok ne doðoše u Vitlejem; a kad doðoše u Vitlejem, sav grad uzavre njih radi, i govorahu: je li to Nojemina?
and the two of them go until their coming to Beth-Lehem; and it comes to pass at their coming to Beth-Lehem, that all the city is moved at them, and they say, “Is this Naomi?”
20 A ona im govoraše: ne zovite me više Nojemina, nego me zovite Mara, jer mi velike jade zadade svemoguæi.
And she says to them, “Do not call me Naomi; call me Mara, for the Almighty has dealt very bitterly to me,
21 Obilna sam otišla, a praznu me vrati Gospod. Zašto me zovete Nojemina, kad me Gospod obori i svemoguæi me ucvijeli.
I went out full, and YHWH has brought me back empty, why do you call me Naomi, and YHWH has testified against me, and the Almighty has done evil to me?”
22 Tako doðe natrag Nojemina i s njom Ruta Moavka, snaha njezina, vrativši se iz zemlje Moavske; a doðoše u Vitlejem o poèetku jeèmene žetve.
And Naomi turns back, and Ruth the Moabitess, her daughter-in-law, with her, who has turned back from the fields of Moab, and they have come to Beth-Lehem at the commencement of barley-harvest.
