< 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.
Naomí je imela sorodnika svojega soproga, mogočnega človeka premoženja, iz Elimélehove družine. Njegovo ime je bilo Boaz.
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.”
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.«
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.
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.
4 Behold, Boaz came from Bethlehem, and said to the reapers, “May the LORD be with you.” They answered him, “May the LORD bless you.”
Glej, Boaz je prišel iz Betlehema in rekel žanjcem: » Gospod naj bo z vami.« Odgovorili so mu: » Gospod te blagoslovi.«
5 Then Boaz said to his servant who was set over the reapers, “Whose young lady is this?”
Potem je Boaz rekel svojemu služabniku, ki je bil postavljen nad žanjce: »Čigava gospodična je to?«
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.
Služabnik, ki je bil postavljen nad žanjce, je odgovoril in rekel: »To je moábska gospodična, ki je prišla z Naomí nazaj iz moábske dežele.
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.”
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.«
8 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.
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.
9 Let your eyes be on the field that they reap, and go after them. Have not 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.”
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.«
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?”
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.«
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 did not know before.
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.
12 May the LORD repay your work, and a full reward be given to you from the LORD, the God of Israel, under whose wings you have come to take refuge.”
Gospod naj ti povrne tvoje delo in polna nagrada naj ti bo dana od Gospoda, Izraelovega Boga, pod čigar peruti si prišla, da zaupaš.«
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.”
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.«
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.
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.
15 When she had risen up to glean, Boaz commanded his young men, saying, “Let her glean even among the sheaves, and do not reproach her.
Ko se je dvignila, da paberkuje, je Boaz svojim mladeničem zapovedal, rekoč: »Naj paberkuje celo med snopi in ne grajajte je.
16 Also pull out some for her from the bundles, and leave it. Let her glean, and do not rebuke her.”
Naj prav tako namenoma zanjo pade nekaj prgišč in pustite jih, da jih bo lahko pobrala in ne oštejte 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.
Tako je na polju paberkovala celo do večera in otepla to, kar je nabrala in tega je bilo približno škaf ječmena.
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.
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.
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.”
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.«
20 Naomi said to her daughter-in-law, “May he be blessed by the LORD, 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.”
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.«
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.’”
Moábka Ruta je rekla: »Rekel mi je tudi: ›Trdno se boš držala mojih mladeničev, dokler ne zaključijo vse moje žetve.‹«
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.”
Naomí je rekla svoji snahi Ruti: »Dobro je, moja hči, da greš ven z njegovimi deklami, da te ne srečajo na nobenem drugem polju.«
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.
Tako se je trdno držala Boazovih dekel, da paberkuje do konca ječmenove žetve in pšenične žetve in prebivala je s svojo taščo.
