Ruth 2
1 There was a man in Bethlehem who belonged to the clan of [Naomi’s dead husband], Elimelech. He was rich and well-known/influential. His name was Boaz.
А беше један човек, род мужу Нојеминином, човек богат од породице Елимелехове, коме име беше Воз.
2 [One day] Ruth said to Naomi, “Let me go to the fields and pick up the grain left behind by the workers.” Naomi replied, “Go ahead, my daughter.”
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.
3 So Ruth went to the fields and began to pick up some of the left-over grain. And it happened that she was working in a field that belonged to Boaz, [the man] from the clan of [her dead father-in-law], Elimelech!
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.
4 Just then, Boaz arrived from Bethlehem. He greeted the men who were harvesting the grain, saying, “I want Yahweh to bless you!” They replied, “We want Yahweh to bless you, [too]!”
И гле, дође Воз из Витлејема, а рече жетеоцима: Господ да је с вама! И они му рекоше: Да те благослови Господ!
5 Then Boaz saw Ruth, and asked the (foreman/man in charge of the other workmen), “Whose [daughter] is that young woman?”
Тада рече Воз слузи свом који беше над жетеоцима: Чија је оно младица?
6 The foreman replied, “She is the woman from Moab who returned from there with [her mother-in-law] Naomi.
А слуга који беше над жетеоцима одговори му: Моавка је младица која се вратила с Нојемином из земље моавске.
7 She said to me, ‘Please let me walk behind the men who are harvesting the grain and pick up some of the grain they leave behind.’ [I gave her permission, and] she went into the field, and she has been working from this morning until now. The only time she did not work was when she rested for a short time in the shelter.”
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.
8 So Boaz went over to Ruth and said to her, “Young lady, listen to me. Don’t go and pick up grain in another field. Do not go away from here. Stay here with my servant girls.
Тада Воз рече Рути: Чујеш, кћери моја; немој ићи на другу њиву да пабирчиш, нити одлази одавде, него се држи мојих девојака.
9 Watch where the men are harvesting, and follow along behind the [servant] girls. I will tell the men [who are working] not to touch/molest you. And whenever you are thirsty, go and get some water to drink from the jars that the men have filled.”
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.
10 When he said that, she knelt down in front of him [in respect], with her face touching the ground. She exclaimed, “Why are you acting so kindly toward me, by paying attention to me? [I am not even a Jew; I am] a foreigner!”
Тада она паде ничице и поклони се до земље, и рече му: Како нађох милост пред тобом, да ме погледаш кад сам туђинка?
11 Boaz replied, “People have told me all about what you have done for your mother-in-law. They told me that you left your parents and your homeland, and you came here to live among people whom you did not know before.
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.
12 I hope/desire that Yahweh will repay you for what you have done. You have put yourself in the care of Yahweh, [like a little bird puts itself] under [its mother’s] wings [MET]. I desire that he will reward you very greatly.”
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.
13 She replied, “Sir, I hope you will continue to act kindly toward me. You have comforted/encouraged me, even though I am lower in status than any of your servant girls.”
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.
14 At mealtime, Boaz said to her, “Come over here. Take some bread and dip it in the wine vinegar [and eat it].” Then when she sat down with the men who had been harvesting, he offered her some roasted grain. She ate all the grain she wanted, and had some left over.
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.
15 As she stood up to start gathering grain [again], Boaz ordered his workers, “Even if she gathers some grain near the bundles of grain that have been cut, do not scold her.
Потом уста да пабирчи. А Воз заповеди момцима својим говорећи: Нека пабирчи и међу сноповима, немојте да је застидите.
16 Instead, pull out some stalks of grain from the bundles, and leave them on the ground for her to pick up, and do not rebuke her.”
Него још навлаш испуштајте руковети и остављајте јој нека купи, и не корите је.
17 So Ruth gathered grain in the field until evening. Then she (threshed/beat with a stick) the barley that she had gathered, [to separate the kernels from the stalks], and the barley filled a large basket.
И она пабирчи на њиви до вечера, и оврше шта напабирчи, и дође око ефе јечма.
18 She carried it back to town, and showed to her mother-in-law how much she had gathered. Ruth also showed to her the grain [that was left over after] she had eaten enough from [what Boaz had given her at lunchtime].
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.
19 Her mother-in-law asked her, “Where did you gather grain today? In whose [field] did you work? [God will] surely bless the man who was kind to you.” Then Ruth told her about the man in whose field she had been working. She said, “The name of the man [who owns the field] where I worked today is Boaz.”
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.
20 Naomi said to her daughter-in-law, “I hope/desire that Yahweh will bless him! He has not stopped acting kindly toward [us, who are still] living, and to [our husbands] who have died.” Then she added, “That man is a close relative [of Elimelech]; he is one of those who has a responsibility to help those who are his relatives.”
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.
21 Then Ruth said, “He also said to me, ‘Stay with my workers until they have finished harvesting all my grain.’”
А Рута Моавка рече: Још ми је рекао: Држи се моје чељади докле не пожању све моје.
22 Naomi replied, “My daughter, it will be good for you to go [to his field] with his [servant] girls, because if you go to someone else’s field, someone might harm/molest you.”
А Нојемина рече Рути снаси својој: Добро је, кћери моја, да идеш с његовим девојкама, да те не би дирали на другој њиви.
23 So Ruth stayed close to Boaz’s [servant] girls [while she was working]. She gathered stalks of grain until the barley harvest and the wheat harvest were finished. During that time she lived with Naomi.
И тако се држаше девојака Возових пабирчећи докле се не сврши жетва јечмена и жетва пшенична; и живљаше код свекрве своје.
