Ruth 3

1 And Naomi, her mother-in-law, said to her, My daughter, am I not to get you a resting-place where you may be in comfort?

Potom reèe joj Nojemina svekrva njezina: kæeri moja, ne treba li da ti potražim poèinka, da bi ti dobro bilo?

2 And now, is there not Boaz, our relation, with whose young women you were? See, tonight he is separating the grain from the waste in his grain-floor.

Evo, nije li nam rod Voz, kod kojega si bila s djevojkama njegovijem? evo, on æe ovu noæ vijati jeèam na gumnu.

3 So take a bath, and, after rubbing your body with sweet oil, put on your best robe, and go down to the grain-floor; but do not let him see you till he has come to the end of his meal.

Umij se dakle, i namaži se, i obuci haljine svoje na se, pa idi na gumno; ali da ne dozna za te èovjek dokle ne jede i ne napije se.

4 But see to it, when he goes to rest, that you take note of the place where he is sleeping, and go in there, and, uncovering his feet, take your place by him; and he will say what you are to do.

Pa kad legne, zapamti mjesto gdje legne, pa onda otidi i digni pokrivaè s nogu njegovijeh, te lezi ondje; a on æe ti kazati šta æeš raditi.

5 And she said, I will do all you say.

A Ruta joj reèe: što mi god kažeš, uèiniæu.

6 So she went down to the grain-floor and did all her mother-in-law had said to her.

I otide na gumno i uèini sve što joj zapovjedi svekrva.

7 Now when Boaz had taken meat and drink, and his heart was glad, he went to take his rest at the end of the mass of grain; then she came softly and, uncovering his feet, went to rest.

A Voz jedavši i pivši i proveselivši se otide te leže kod stoga; a ona doðe polako, podiže pokrivaè s nogu njegovijeh i leže.

8 Now in the middle of the night, the man awaking from his sleep in fear, and lifting himself up, saw a woman stretched at his feet.

A kad bi oko ponoæi trže se èovjek i obrnu se, a gle, žena ležaše kod nogu njegovijeh.

9 And he said, Who are you? And she answering said, I am your servant Ruth: take your servant as wife, for you are a near relation.

I on joj reèe: ko si? Odgovori: ja sam Ruta sluškinja tvoja; raširi krilo svoje na sluškinju svoju, jer si mi osvetnik.

10 And he said, May the Lord give you his blessing, my daughter: even better than what you did at the first is this last kind act you have done, in not going after young men, with or without wealth.

A on reèe: Gospod da te blagoslovi, kæeri moja; ova potonja milost koju mi pokazuješ veæa je od prve, što nijesi tražila mladiæa, ni siromašna ni bogata.

11 And now, my daughter, have no fear; I will do for you whatever you say: for it is clear to all my townspeople that you are a woman of virtue.

Zato sada, kæeri moja, ne boj se; što god reèeš uèiniæu ti; jer zna cijelo mjesto naroda mojega da si poštena žena.

12 Now it is true that I am a near relation: but there is a relation nearer than I.

Jest istina, ja sam ti osvetnik; ali ima jošte bliži od mene.

13 Take your rest here tonight; and in the morning, if he will do for you what it is right for a relation to do, very well, let him do so: but if he will not, then by the living Lord I myself will do so.

Prenoæi ovdje; pa sjutra ako te htjedbude uzeti, dobro, neka uzme; ako li ne htjedbude uzeti, ja æu te uzeti, tako živ bio Gospod! Spavaj do jutra.

14 And she took her rest at his feet till the morning: and she got up before it was light enough for one to see another. And he said, Let it not come to anyone's knowledge that the woman came to the grain-floor.

I ona spava kod nogu njegovijeh do jutra; potom usta dok još ne mogaše èovjek èovjeka raspoznati, jer Voz reèe: da se ne dozna da je žena dolazila na gumno.

15 And he said, Take your robe, stretching it out in your hands: and she did so, and he took six measures of grain and put them into it, and gave it her to take: and she went back to the town.

I reèe: daj ogrtaè koji imaš na sebi; i drži ga. I ona ga podrža, a on joj izmjeri šest mjerica jeèma, i naprti joj i ona otide u grad.

16 And when she came back her mother-in-law said to her, How did it go with you, my daughter? And she gave her an account of all the man had done to her.

I doðe svekrvi svojoj, koja joj reèe: šta bi, kæeri moja? A ona joj kaza sve što joj uèini onaj èovjek.

17 And she said, He gave me these six measures of grain, saying, Do not go back to your mother-in-law with nothing in your hands.

I reèe: ovijeh šest mjerica jeèma dade mi, jer mi reèe: nemoj se vratiti prazna k svekrvi svojoj.

18 Then she said, Do nothing now, my daughter, till you see what will come of this; for the man will take no rest till he has put this thing through.

A ona joj reèe: poèekaj, kæeri moja, dok doznaš kako æe izaæi; jer onaj èovjek neæe se smiriti dok ne svrši stvar danas.
