Књига о Рути 2
1 А беше један човек, род мужу Нојеминином, човек богат од породице Елимелехове, коме име беше Воз.
And Naomi had a relation of her husband, a man of wealth, of the family of Elimelech; and his name was Boaz.
2 И Рута Моавка рече Нојемини: Да идем у поље да пабирчим класје за оним пред ким нађем милост. А она јој рече: Иди, кћери моја.
And Ruth the Moabitess said to Naomi, Now let me go into the field and take up the heads of grain after him in whose eyes I may have grace. And she said to her, Go, my daughter.
3 И она отиде, и дошавши стаде пабирчити по њиви за жетеоцима: и догоди се, те дође на њиву која припадаше Возу, који беше од породице Елимелехове.
And she went, and came and took up the heads of grain in the field after the cutters; and by chance she went into that part of the field which was the property of Boaz, who was of the family of Elimelech.
4 И гле, дође Воз из Витлејема, а рече жетеоцима: Господ да је с вама! И они му рекоше: Да те благослови Господ!
And Boaz came from Beth-lehem, and said to the grain-cutters, The Lord be with you. And they made answer, The Lord give you his blessing.
5 Тада рече Воз слузи свом који беше над жетеоцима: Чија је оно младица?
Then Boaz said to his servant who was in authority over the cutters, Whose girl is this?
6 А слуга који беше над жетеоцима одговори му: Моавка је младица која се вратила с Нојемином из земље моавске.
And the servant who was in authority over the cutters said, It is a Moabite girl who came back with Naomi out of the country of Moab;
7 И рече: Да пабирчим, да купим класје између снопова за жетеоцима. И дошавши бави се од јутра до сада; само је мало била код куће.
And she said to me, Let me come into the grain-field and take up the grain after the cutters. So she came, and has been here from morning till now, without resting even for a minute.
8 Тада Воз рече Рути: Чујеш, кћери моја; немој ићи на другу њиву да пабирчиш, нити одлази одавде, него се држи мојих девојака.
Then said Boaz to Ruth, Give ear to me, my daughter: do not go to take up the grain in another field, or go away from here, but keep here by my young women:
9 Пази на којој њиви они жању, па иди за њима; јер сам заповедио момцима својим да те нико не дира; а кад ожедниш, иди к судовима и пиј шта моје слуге захватају.
Keep your eyes on the field they are cutting, and go after them; have I not given orders to the young men not to put a hand on you? And when you are in need of drink go to the vessels and take of what the young men have put there.
10 Тада она паде ничице и поклони се до земље, и рече му: Како нађох милост пред тобом, да ме погледаш кад сам туђинка?
Then she went down on her face to the earth, and said to him, Why have I grace in your eyes, that you give attention to me, seeing I am from a strange people?
11 А Воз одговори и рече јој: Чуо сам ја све што си чинила свекрви својој по смрти мужа свог, и како си оставила оца свог и матер своју и постојбину своју, па си дошла к народу ког ниси знала пре.
And Boaz answering said to her, I have had news of everything you have done for your mother-in-law after the death of your husband; how you went away from your father and mother and the land of your birth, and came to a people who are strange to you.
12 Господ да ти плати за дело твоје, и да ти плата буде потпуна од Господа Бога Израиљевог, кад си дошла да се под крилима Његовим склониш.
The Lord give you a reward for what you have done, and may a full reward be given to you by the Lord, the God of Israel, under whose wings you have come to take cover.
13 А она рече: Нађох милост пред тобом, господару, јер си ме утешио и милостиво проговорио слушкињи својој, ако и нисам као једна од твојих слушкиња.
Then she said, May I have grace in your eyes, my lord, for you have given me comfort, and you have said kind words to your servant, though I am not like one of your servants.
14 А Воз јој рече: Кад буде време јести, дођи овамо и једи хлеба и умочи залогај свој у оцат. И она седе покрај жетелаца, и он јој пружи пржених зрна, и она једе и насити се, и претече јој.
And at meal-time Boaz said to her, Come here, and take some of the bread, and put your bit into the wine. And she took her seat among the grain-cutters: and he gave her dry grain, and she took it, and there was more than enough for her meal.
15 Потом уста да пабирчи. А Воз заповеди момцима својим говорећи: Нека пабирчи и међу сноповима, немојте да је застидите.
And when she got ready to take up the grain, Boaz gave his young men orders, saying, Let her take it even from among the cut grain, and say nothing to her.
16 Него још навлаш испуштајте руковети и остављајте јој нека купи, и не корите је.
And let some heads of grain be pulled out of what has been corded up, and dropped for her to take, and let no sharp word be said to her.
17 И она пабирчи на њиви до вечера, и оврше шта напабирчи, и дође око ефе јечма.
So she went on getting together the heads of grain till evening; and after crushing out the seed it came to about an ephah of grain.
18 И узевши отиде у град, и виде свекрва њена шта је напабирчила; а она извади и даде јој и оно што је претекло пошто се наситила.
And she took it up and went into the town; and she let her mother-in-law see what she had got, and after taking enough for herself she gave her the rest.
19 И рече јој свекрва: Где си пабирчила данас? И где си радила? Да је благословен који те је погледао! А она каза свекрви својој код кога је радила говорећи: Име је човеку код кога сам данас радила Воз.
And her mother-in-law said to her, Where did you take up the grain today, and where were you working? May a blessing be on him who gave such attention to you. And she gave her mother-in-law an account of where she had been working, and said, The name of the man with whom I was working today is Boaz.
20 А Нојемина рече снаси својој: Господ да га благослови, кад није укратио милости своје к живима и к мртвима. И рече јој Нојемина: Тај је човек нама род, и један од осветника наших.
And Naomi said to her daughter-in-law, May the blessing of the Lord, who has at all times been kind to the living and to the dead, be on him. And Naomi said to her, The man is of our family, one of our near relations.
21 А Рута Моавка рече: Још ми је рекао: Држи се моје чељади докле не пожању све моје.
And Ruth the Moabitess said, Truly, he said to me, Keep near my young men till all my grain is cut.
22 А Нојемина рече Рути снаси својој: Добро је, кћери моја, да идеш с његовим девојкама, да те не би дирали на другој њиви.
And Naomi said to Ruth, her daughter-in-law, It is better, my daughter, for you to go out with his servant-girls, so that no danger may come to you in another field.
23 И тако се држаше девојака Возових пабирчећи докле се не сврши жетва јечмена и жетва пшенична; и живљаше код свекрве своје.
So she kept near the servant-girls of Boaz to take up the grain till the cutting of the early grain and the cutting of the late grain were ended; and she went on living with her mother-in-law.
