< Ruth 2 >

1 Naomi had a relative of her husband’s, a mighty man of wealth, of the family of Elimelech, and his name was Boaz.
A bijaše jedan èovjek, rod mužu Nojemininu, èovjek bogat od porodice Elimelehove, kojemu ime bijaše Voz.
2 Ruth the Moabitess said to Naomi, “Let me now go to the field, and glean among the ears of grain after him in whose sight I find favor.” She said to her, “Go, my daughter.”
I Ruta Moavka reèe Nojemini: da idem u polje da pabirèim klasje za onijem pred kim naðem milost. A ona joj reèe: idi, kæeri moja.
3 She went, and came and gleaned in the field after the reapers; and she happened to come to the portion of the field belonging to Boaz, who was of the family of Elimelech.
I ona otide, i došavši stade pabirèiti po njivi za žeteocima: i dogodi se, te doðe na njivu koja pripadaše Vozu, koji bijaše od porodice Elimelehove.
4 Behold, Boaz came from Bethlehem, and said to the reapers, “May Yahweh be with you.” They answered him, “May Yahweh bless you.”
I gle, doðe Voz iz Vitlejema, i reèe žeteocima: Gospod da je s vama! I oni mu rekoše: da te blagoslovi Gospod!
5 Then Boaz said to his servant who was set over the reapers, “Whose young lady is this?”
Tada reèe Voz sluzi svojemu koji bijaše nad žeteocima: èija je ona mladica?
6 The servant who was set over the reapers answered, “It is the Moabite lady who came back with Naomi out of the country of Moab.
A sluga koji bješe nad žeteocima odgovori mu: Moavka je mladica koja se vratila s Nojeminom iz zemlje Moavske.
7 She said, ‘Please let me glean and gather after the reapers among the sheaves.’ So she came, and has continued even from the morning until now, except that she rested a little in the house.”
I reèe: da pabirèim, da kupim klasje izmeðu snopova za žeteocima. I došavši bavi se od jutra do sada; samo je malo bila kod kuæe.
8 Then Boaz said to Ruth, “Listen, my daughter. Don’t go to glean in another field, and don’t go from here, but stay here close to my maidens.
Tada Voz reèe Ruti: èuješ, kæeri moja; nemoj iæi na drugu njivu da pabirèiš, niti odlazi odavde, nego se drži mojih djevojaka.
9 Let your eyes be on the field that they reap, and go after them. Haven’t I commanded the young men not to touch you? When you are thirsty, go to the vessels, and drink from that which the young men have drawn.”
Pazi na kojoj njivi oni žanju, pa idi za njima; jer sam zapovjedio momcima svojim da te niko ne dira; a kad ožedniš, idi k sudovima i pij što moje sluge zahitaju.
10 Then she fell on her face and bowed herself to the ground, and said to him, “Why have I found favor in your sight, that you should take knowledge of me, since I am a foreigner?”
Tada ona pade nièice i pokloni se do zemlje, i reèe mu: kako naðoh milost pred tobom, da me pogledaš, kad sam tuðinka?
11 Boaz answered her, “I have been told all about what you have done for your mother-in-law since the death of your husband, and how you have left your father, your mother, and the land of your birth, and have come to a people that you didn’t know before.
A Voz odgovori i reèe joj: èuo sam ja sve što si èinila svekrvi svojoj po smrti muža svojega, i kako si ostavila oca svojega i mater svoju i postojbinu svoju, pa si došla k narodu kojega nijesi znala prije.
12 May Yahweh repay your work, and a full reward be given to you from Yahweh, the God of Israel, under whose wings you have come to take refuge.”
Gospod da ti plati za djelo tvoje, i da ti plata bude potpuna od Gospoda Boga Izrailjeva, kad si došla da se pod krilima njegovijem skloniš.
13 Then she said, “Let me find favor in your sight, my lord, because you have comforted me, and because you have spoken kindly to your servant, though I am not as one of your servants.”
A ona reèe: naðoh milost pred tobom, gospodaru, jer si me utješio i milostivo progovorio sluškinji svojoj, ako i nijesam kao jedna od tvojih sluškinja.
14 At meal time Boaz said to her, “Come here, and eat some bread, and dip your morsel in the vinegar.” She sat beside the reapers, and they passed her parched grain. She ate, was satisfied, and left some of it.
A Voz joj reèe: kad bude vrijeme jesti, doði ovamo i jedi hljeba i umoèi zalogaj svoj u ocat. I ona sjede pokraj žetelaca, i on joj pruži prženijeh zrna, i ona jede i nasiti se, i preteèe joj.
15 When she had risen up to glean, Boaz commanded his young men, saying, “Let her glean even among the sheaves, and don’t reproach her.
Potom usta da pabirèi. A Voz zapovjedi momcima svojim govoreæi: neka pabirèi i meðu snopovima, nemojte da je zastidite.
16 Also pull out some for her from the bundles, and leave it. Let her glean, and don’t rebuke her.”
Nego još navlaš ispuštajte rukoveti i ostavljajte joj neka kupi, i ne korite je.
17 So she gleaned in the field until evening; and she beat out that which she had gleaned, and it was about an ephah of barley.
I ona pabirèi na njivi do veèera, i ovrše što napabirèi, i doðe oko efe jeèma.
18 She took it up, and went into the city. Then her mother-in-law saw what she had gleaned; and she brought out and gave to her that which she had left after she had enough.
I uzevši otide u grad, i vidje svekrva njezina šta je napabirèila; a ona izvadi i dade joj i ono što joj je preteklo pošto se nasitila.
19 Her mother-in-law said to her, “Where have you gleaned today? Where have you worked? Blessed be he who noticed you.” She told her mother-in-law with whom she had worked, “The man’s name with whom I worked today is Boaz.”
I reèe joj svekrva: gdje si pabirèila danas? i gdje si radila? Da je blagosloven koji te je pogledao! A ona kaza svekrvi svojoj kod koga je radila govoreæi: ime je èovjeku kod kojega sam danas radila Voz.
20 Naomi said to her daughter-in-law, “May he be blessed by Yahweh, who has not abandoned his kindness to the living and to the dead.” Naomi said to her, “The man is a close relative to us, one of our near kinsmen.”
A Nojemina reèe snasi svojoj: Gospod da ga blagoslovi, kad nije ukratio milosti svoje k živima i k mrtvima. I reèe joj Nojemina: taj je èovjek nama rod, i jedan od osvetnika naših.
21 Ruth the Moabitess said, “Yes, he said to me, ‘You shall stay close to my young men until they have finished all my harvest.’”
A Ruta Moavka reèe: još mi je rekao: drži se moje èeljadi dokle ne požanju sve moje.
22 Naomi said to Ruth her daughter-in-law, “It is good, my daughter, that you go out with his maidens, and that they not meet you in any other field.”
A Nojemina reèe Ruti snasi svojoj: dobro je, kæeri moja, da ideš s njegovijem djevojkama, da te ne bi dirali na drugoj njivi.
23 So she stayed close to the maidens of Boaz, to glean to the end of barley harvest and of wheat harvest; and she lived with her mother-in-law.
I tako se držaše djevojaka Vozovijeh pabirèeæi dokle se ne svrši žetva jeèmena i žetva pšenièna; i življaše kod svekrve svoje.
