Ruta 2
1 Naomí je imela sorodnika svojega soproga, mogočnega človeka premoženja, iz Elimélehove družine. Njegovo ime je bilo Boaz.
Now Naomi was related through her husband to a very wealthy man of the family of Elimelech named Boaz.
2 Moábka Ruta je rekla Naomí: »Naj grem torej na polje in paberkujem žitno klasje za tistim, v čigar očeh bom našla milost.« In rekla ji je: »Pojdi, moja hči.«
Ruth the Moabite said to Naomi, ‘Let me now go into the fields and gather leftover grain behind anyone who will allow me.’ ‘Go, my daughter,’ she replied.
3 Odšla je in prišla ter za žanjci paberkovala na polju in sreča se ji je posvetila na delu polja, ki je pripadal Boazu, ki je bil Elimélehov sorodnik.
So she went to glean in the field after the reapers. As it happened, she was in that part of the field which belonged to Boaz, who was of the family of Elimelech.
4 Glej, Boaz je prišel iz Betlehema in rekel žanjcem: » Gospod naj bo z vami.« Odgovorili so mu: » Gospod te blagoslovi.«
When Boaz came from Bethlehem and said to the reapers, ‘The Lord be with you,’ they answered him, ‘May the Lord bless you.’
5 Potem je Boaz rekel svojemu služabniku, ki je bil postavljen nad žanjce: »Čigava gospodična je to?«
‘Whose girl is this?’ Boaz asked his servant who had charge of the reapers.
6 Služabnik, ki je bil postavljen nad žanjce, je odgovoril in rekel: »To je moábska gospodična, ki je prišla z Naomí nazaj iz moábske dežele.
The servant who had charge of the reapers replied, ‘It is the Moabite girl who came back with Naomi from the territory of Moab.
7 Rekla je: ›Prosim vas, naj med snopi paberkujem za žanjci.‹ Tako je prišla in nadaljevala celo od jutra do sedaj, da se je le malo mudila v hiši.«
She asked to be allowed to glean and gather sheaves after the reapers. So she came and has continued to work until now and she has not rested a moment in the field.’
8 Potem je Boaz rekel Ruti: »Ali ne slišiš, moja hči? Ne pojdi paberkovat na drugo polje niti ne pojdi od tod, temveč ostani tukaj blizu mojih dekel.
Then Boaz said to Ruth, ‘Listen, my daughter. Do not go to glean in another field nor leave this place, but stay here with my girls.
9 Naj bodo tvoje oči na polju, ki ga žanjejo in pojdi za njimi. Mar nisem mladeniče zadolžil, da se te ne bodo dotaknili? In ko si žejna, pojdi k posodam in pij od tega, kar so mladeniči zajeli.«
Watch where the men are reaping and follow the gleaners. I have told the young men not to trouble you. When you are thirsty, go to the jars and drink of that which the young men have drawn.’
10 Potem je padla na svoj obraz in se priklonila do tal in mu rekla: »Zakaj sem našla milost v tvojih očeh, da si se zmenil zame, glede na to, da sem tujka.«
Then she bowed low and said to him, ‘Why are you so kind to me, to take interest in me when I am just a foreigner?’
11 Boaz je odgovoril in ji rekel: »V polnosti mi je bilo prikazano vse, kar si storila svoji tašči, odkar je tvoj soprog umrl in kako si zapustila svojega očeta, svojo mater in svojo rojstno deželo in si prišla k ljudstvu, ki ga poprej nisi poznala.
Boaz replied, ‘I have heard what you have done for your mother-in-law since the death of your husband, and how you left your father and mother and your native land to come to a people that you did not know before.
12 Gospod naj ti povrne tvoje delo in polna nagrada naj ti bo dana od Gospoda, Izraelovega Boga, pod čigar peruti si prišla, da zaupaš.«
May the Lord repay you for what you have done, and may you be fully rewarded by the God of Israel, under whose wings you have come to take refuge.’
13 Potem je rekla: »Naj najdem naklonjenost v tvojem pogledu, moj gospod. Ker si me potolažil in ker si prijazno govoril s svojo pomočnico, čeprav nisem niti kakor ena izmed tvojih pomočnic.«
Then she said, ‘I trust I may please you, my lord, for you have comforted me and spoken kindly to your servant, although I am not really equal to one of your own servants.’
14 Boaz ji je rekel: »Ob času kosila pridi sèm in jej od kruha in pomakaj svoj košček v kis.« Usedla se je poleg žanjcev in on ji je podal opraženo zrnje in jedla je in bila nasičena in še je ostalo.
At mealtime Boaz said to Ruth, ‘Come here and eat some of the food and dip your piece of bread in the vinegar.’ So she sat beside the reapers, and he passed her some roasted grain. She ate until she was satisfied and had some left.
15 Ko se je dvignila, da paberkuje, je Boaz svojim mladeničem zapovedal, rekoč: »Naj paberkuje celo med snopi in ne grajajte je.
When she rose to glean, Boaz gave this order to his young men: ‘Let her glean even among the sheaves and do not disturb her.
16 Naj prav tako namenoma zanjo pade nekaj prgišč in pustite jih, da jih bo lahko pobrala in ne oštejte je.«
Also pull out some for her from the bundles and leave for her to glean, and do not find fault with her.’
17 Tako je na polju paberkovala celo do večera in otepla to, kar je nabrala in tega je bilo približno škaf ječmena.
So she gleaned in the field until evening, then beat out what she had gleaned. It was about a bushel of barley.
18 In to je vzdignila ter odšla v mesto. Njena tašča je videla, kaj je nabrala in prinesla je in ji dala to, kar je shranila, potem ko je bila nasičena.
Then she took it up and went into the town and showed her mother-in-law what she had gleaned. She also brought out and gave her that which she had left from her meal after she had had enough.
19 Njena tašča ji je rekla: »Kje si danes paberkovala? Kje si delala? Blagoslovljen naj bo tisti, ki se je zmenil zate.« Svoji tašči je pokazala, s kom je delala in rekla: »Ime človeka, s katerim sem danes delala, je Boaz.«
‘Where did you glean today, and where did you work?’ asked her mother-in-law. ‘A blessing on him who took notice of you!’ So she told her mother-in-law where she had worked. ‘The name of the man with whom I worked today,’ she said, ‘is Boaz.’
20 Naomí je rekla svoji snahi: »Blagoslovljen naj bo od Gospoda on, ki ni opustil svoje prijaznosti do živih in do mrtvih.« Naomí ji je rekla: »Mož nama je bližnji sorodnik, eden izmed najinih najožjih sorodnikov.«
Naomi said to her daughter-in-law, ‘May the blessing of the Lord rest on this man who has not ceased to show his loving-kindness to the living and to the dead. The man,’ she added, ‘is a near relation of ours.’
21 Moábka Ruta je rekla: »Rekel mi je tudi: ›Trdno se boš držala mojih mladeničev, dokler ne zaključijo vse moje žetve.‹«
‘He told me,’ Ruth said, ‘that I must keep near his young men until they have completed all his harvest.’
22 Naomí je rekla svoji snahi Ruti: »Dobro je, moja hči, da greš ven z njegovimi deklami, da te ne srečajo na nobenem drugem polju.«
Naomi said to Ruth, ‘It is best, my daughter, that you should go out with his girls because you might not be as safe in another field.’
23 Tako se je trdno držala Boazovih dekel, da paberkuje do konca ječmenove žetve in pšenične žetve in prebivala je s svojo taščo.
So she gleaned with the girls of Boaz until the end of the barley and wheat harvest; but she lived with her mother-in-law.
