Ruth 3

1 Then Naomi her mother in law said to her, My daughter, shall I not seek rest for thee, that it may be well with thee?

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

2 And now is not Boaz of our kindred, with whose maidens thou wast? Behold, he winnoweth barley to night in the threshingfloor.

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

3 Wash thyself therefore, and anoint thee, and put thy raiment upon thee, and go down to the floor: but make not thyself known to the man, until he shall have finished eating and drinking.

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 And it shall be, when he lieth down, that thou shalt mark the place where he shall lie, and thou shalt go in, and uncover his feet, and lay thee down; and he will tell thee what thou shalt 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 to her, All that thou sayest to me I will do.

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

6 And she went down to the floor, and did according to all that her mother in law bade her.

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

7 And when Boaz had eaten and drunk, and his heart was merry, he went to lie down at the end of the heap of grain: and she came softly, and uncovered his feet, and laid herself down.

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 And it came to pass at midnight, that the man was afraid, and turned himself: and, behold, a woman lay 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 art thou? And she answered, I am Ruth thy handmaid: spread therefore thy skirt over thy handmaid; for thou art a near kinsman.

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, Blessed be thou of the LORD, my daughter: for thou hast shown more kindness in the latter end than at the beginning, inasmuch as thou didst not follow young men, whether poor or rich.

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, fear not; I will do to thee all that thou requirest: for all the city of my people doth know that thou art a virtuous woman.

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

12 And now it is true that I am thy near kinsman: yet there is a kinsman nearer than I.

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

13 Tarry this night, and it shall be in the morning, that if he will perform to thee the part of a kinsman, well; let him do the kinsman’s part: but if he will not do the part of a kinsman to thee, then will I do the part of a kinsman to thee, as the LORD liveth: lie down until the morning.

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 lay at his feet until the morning: and she rose before one could know another. And he said, Let it not be known that a woman came to the 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 Also he said, Bring the veil that thou hast upon thee, and hold it. And when she held it, he measured six measures of barley, and laid it on her: and she went into the city.

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 to her mother in law, she said, Who art thou, my daughter? And she told her all that 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, These six measures of barley he gave me; for he said to me, Go not empty to thy mother in law.

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

18 Then said she, Sit still, my daughter, until thou knowest how the matter will fall: for the man will not be in rest, until he hath finished the thing this day.

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