Књига о Рути 2
1 А беше један човек, род мужу Нојеминином, човек богат од породице Елимелехове, коме име беше Воз.
Naomi had a kinsman of her husband's, a mighty 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.
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 shall find favor." 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.
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.
4 И гле, дође Воз из Витлејема, а рече жетеоцима: Господ да је с вама! И они му рекоше: Да те благослови Господ!
Look, Boaz came from Bethlehem, and said to the reapers, "The LORD be with you." They answered him, "The LORD bless you."
5 Тада рече Воз слузи свом који беше над жетеоцима: Чија је оно младица?
Then Boaz said to his servant who was set over the reapers, "Whose young woman is this?"
6 А слуга који беше над жетеоцима одговори му: Моавка је младица која се вратила с Нојемином из земље моавске.
The servant who was set over the reapers answered, "It is the Moabite woman 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.
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 stayed a little in the house."
8 Тада Воз рече Рути: Чујеш, кћери моја; немој ићи на другу њиву да пабирчиш, нити одлази одавде, него се држи мојих девојака.
Then Boaz said to Ruth, "Listen, my daughter. Do not go to glean in another field, and do not go from here, but stay here close to my maidens.
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.
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."
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 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?"
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.
Boaz answered her, "It has fully been shown to me, all that you have done to your mother-in-law since the death of your husband; and how you have left your father and your mother, and the land of your birth, and have come to a people that you didn't know before.
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.
May the LORD repay your work, and a full reward be given you from the LORD, the God of Israel, under whose wings you have come to take refuge."
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, "Let me find favor in your sight, my lord, because you have comforted me, and because you have spoken kindly to your handmaid, though I am not as one of your handmaidens."
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.
At meal time Boaz said to her, "Come here, and eat of the bread, and dip your morsel in the vinegar." She sat beside the reapers, and they reached her parched grain, and she ate, and was satisfied, and left some of it.
15 Потом уста да пабирчи. А Воз заповеди момцима својим говорећи: Нека пабирчи и међу сноповима, немојте да је застидите.
When she had risen up to glean, Boaz commanded his young men, saying, "Let her glean even among the sheaves, and do not humiliate her.
16 Него још навлаш испуштајте руковети и остављајте јој нека купи, и не корите је.
Also pull out some for her from the bundles, and leave it, and let her glean, and do not rebuke her."
17 И она пабирчи на њиви до вечера, и оврше шта напабирчи, и дође око ефе јечма.
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.
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.
She took it up, and went into the city; and her mother-in-law saw what she had gleaned: and she brought out and gave to her that which she had left after she was sufficed.
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.
Her mother-in-law said to her, "Where have you gleaned today? And where have you worked? Blessed be he who noticed you." She showed her mother-in-law with whom she had worked, and said, "The man's name with whom I worked 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.
Naomi said to her daughter-in-law, "Blessed be he of the LORD, who has not left off 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."
21 А Рута Моавка рече: Још ми је рекао: Држи се моје чељади докле не пожању све моје.
And Ruth the Moabitess said, "He even said to me, 'You shall stay close to my young men, until they have ended all my harvest.'"
22 А Нојемина рече Рути снаси својој: Добро је, кћери моја, да идеш с његовим девојкама, да те не би дирали на другој њиви.
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."
23 И тако се држаше девојака Возових пабирчећи докле се не сврши жетва јечмена и жетва пшенична; и живљаше код свекрве своје.
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.
