Ruth 2
1 Now Naomi was related through her husband to a very wealthy man of the family of Elimelech named Boaz.
Noemi imaše rođaka po mužu, čovjeka vrlo imućna, iz porodice Elimelekove: zvao se Boaz.
2 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.
Tada Ruta Moapka reče Noemi: “Htjela bih ići u polje pabirčiti klasje za onim u koga nađem milost.” Ona joj odgovori: “Hajde, kćeri moja!”
3 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.
I ode, dođe u polje te poče pabirčiti za žeteocima. A sreća je dovede u polje koje pripadaše Boazu, iz roda Elimelekova.
4 When Boaz came from Bethlehem and said to the reapers, “The Lord be with you,” they answered him, “May the Lord bless you.”
I gle, dođe Boaz iz Betlehema. “Jahve bio s vama!” - pozdravi on žeteoce. A oni mu odgovoriše: “Jahve te blagoslovio!”
5 “Whose girl is this?” Boaz asked his servant who had charge of the reapers.
Boaz će nato momku koji je nadzirao žeteoce: “Čija je ona mlada žena?”
6 The servant who had charge of the reapers replied, “It is the Moabite girl who came back with Naomi from the territory of Moab.
A momak koji bijaše nad žeteocima odgovori: “Ono je mlada Moapka što je došla prateći Noemi s Moapskih poljana.
7 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.”
Pitala je: 'Smijem li pabirčiti i kupiti klasje između snopova za žeteocima?' I došla je, eto, i ostala od ranog jutra sve dosad; i samo je malo ušla u kuću.”
8 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.
Onda Boaz reče Ruti: “Čuj me, kćeri moja, ne idi pabirčiti u drugoga nego se drži mojih njiva i mojih poslenika.
9 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.”
Pazi na kojoj njivi oni žanju, pa idi za njima. A naredio sam momcima da te nitko ne dira. Kad ožedniš, idi k posudama i pij što moje sluge zahitaju.”
10 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?”
Ona tada pade ničice, pokloni se do zemlje i reče: “Čime sam stekla toliku milost u očima tvojim da mi posvećuješ pažnju kad sam tuđinka?”
11 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.
Boaz joj odgovori: “Čuo sam što si sve učinila za svoju svekrvu poslije smrti svoga muža; kako si ostavila oca svoga, majku svoju i zavičaj svoj te došla u narod kojega do jučer ili prekjučer nisi poznavala.
12 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.”
Neka ti Jahve plati sve što si učinila i neka ti udijeli pravu nagradu Jahve, Bog Izraelov, kad si došla da se pod krila njegova skloniš!”
13 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.”
Ona preuze: “Kad bih mogla uvijek nalaziti milost u tvojim očima, gospodaru, jer si me utješio i milostivo progovorio sluškinji svojoj, ako i nisam kao jedna od tvojih sluškinja.”
14 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.
Kad bijaše vrijeme ručku, Boaz joj reče: “Hodi ovamo, jedi ovog kruha i umoči svoj zalogaj u ocat!” Ona sjede pokraj žetelaca, a on stavi pred nju prženih zrna. Jela je i nasitila se i još joj preteče.
15 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.
Kad je ustala da pabirči dalje, Boaz zapovjedi svojim slugama: “I među snopljem neka ona pabirči, a vi joj nemojte zanovijetati.
16 Also pull out some for her from the bundles and leave for her to glean, and do not find fault with her.”
Nego navlaš ispuštajte klasove iz svojih rukoveti i ostavljajte joj neka kÓupi i nemojte je koriti!”
17 So she gleaned in the field until evening, then beat out what she had gleaned. It was about a bushel of barley.
I tako je pabirčila sve do večeri, pa onda ovrše ono što je napabirčila: bijaše otprilike jedna efa ječma.
18 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.
Uze ona svoje i dođe u grad, a svekrva vidje koliko je napabirčila. Tada Ruta izvadi i dade joj što joj bijaše preteklo pošto se nasitila.
19 “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.”
Svekrva je upita: “Gdje si pabirčila danas? Gdje si radila? Neka je blagoslovljen onaj koji je pogledao na te!” Onda ona pripovjedi svekrvi kod koga je radila i reče: “Čovjek u koga sam danas radila zove se Boaz.”
20 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.”
Tada će Noemi svojoj snasi: “Neka Jahve blagoslovi onoga koji ne uskraćuje dobrote svoje ni živima ni mrtvima!” I dometnu Noemi: “Taj je čovjek naš rod; jedan od naših skrbnika.”
21 “He told me,” Ruth said, “that I must keep near his young men until they have completed all his harvest.”
Ruta Moapka pripovjedi dalje: “Još mi reče: 'Drži se mojih poslenika dokle ne požanju sve moje!'”
22 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.”
Noemi nato reče Ruti, snasi svojoj: “Dobro je, kćeri moja, idi za njegovim poslenicima da ti ne bude neprilike na kojoj drugoj njivi.”
23 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.
I tako se držala poslenika Boazovih i pabirčila dokle ne požeše i ječam i pšenicu. I živjela je kod svekrve svoje.
