Ruth 3

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

Potem ji je njena tašča Naomí rekla: »Moja hči, mar ne bom iskala počitka zate, da bo lahko dobro s teboj?

2 Now isn’t Boaz our kinsman, with whose maidens you were? Behold, he will be winnowing barley tonight on the threshing floor.

Torej ali ni Boaz iz našega sorodstva, s čigar deklami si bila? Glej on nocoj veja ječmen na mlatišču.

3 Therefore wash yourself, anoint yourself, get dressed, and go down to the threshing floor; but don’t make yourself known to the man until he has finished eating and drinking.

Umij se torej in se mazili in nase nadeni svoje oblačilo in pojdi dol do mlatišča. Toda ne daj se spoznati možu, dokler se ne bo najedel in napil.

4 It shall be, when he lies down, that you shall note the place where he is lying. Then you shall go in, uncover his feet, and lie down. Then he will tell you what to do.”

Zgodilo se bo, da ko se uleže, da si boš zapomnila prostor, kjer bo legel in vstopila boš in odkrila njegova stopala in se ulegla in on ti bo povedal kaj boš storila.«

5 She said to her, “All that you say, I will do.”

Rekla ji je: »Vse, kar mi govoriš, bom storila.«

6 She went down to the threshing floor, and did everything that her mother-in-law told her.

Odšla je dol k mlatišču in storila glede na vse, kar ji je njena tašča zaukazala.

7 When Boaz had eaten and drunk, and his heart was merry, he went to lie down at the end of the heap of grain. She came softly, uncovered his feet, and lay down.

Ko je Boaz jedel in pil in je bilo njegovo srce veselo, je odšel, da se uleže pri koncu kupa žita in ona je po tiho prišla in odkrila njegova stopala in se ulegla.

8 At midnight, the man was startled and turned himself; and behold, a woman lay at his feet.

Pripetilo se je ob polnoči, da je bil mož prestrašen in se obrnil in glej, ženska leži pri njegovih stopalih.

9 He said, “Who are you?” She answered, “I am Ruth your servant. Therefore spread the corner of your garment over your servant; for you are a near kinsman.”

Rekel je: »Kdo si?« Odgovorila je: »Jaz sem Ruta, tvoja pomočnica. Razširi torej krajec svoje obleke nad svojo pomočnico, kajti ti si bližnji sorodnik.«

10 He said, “You are blessed by the LORD, my daughter. You have shown more kindness in the latter end than at the beginning, because you didn’t follow young men, whether poor or rich.

Rekel je: »Blagoslovljena bodi od Gospoda, moja hči, kajti izkazala si več prijaznosti v zadnjem koncu kakor poprej v tem, da ne slediš za mladeniči, bodisi revnimi ali bogatimi.

11 Now, my daughter, don’t be afraid. I will do to you all that you say; for all the city of my people knows that you are a worthy woman.

Sedaj, moja hči, ne boj se. Storil ti bom vse, kar zahtevaš, kajti vse mesto mojega ljudstva ve, da si vrla ženska.

12 Now it is true that I am a near kinsman. However, there is a kinsman nearer than I.

Sedaj je to resnica, da sem tvoj bližnji sorodnik, vendar obstaja sorodnik, ki je bližji kakor jaz.

13 Stay this night, and in the morning, if he will perform for you the part of a kinsman, good. Let him do the kinsman’s duty. But if he will not do the duty of a kinsman for you, then I will do the duty of a kinsman for you, as the LORD lives. Lie down until the morning.”

Ostani to noč in zjutraj bo, da če ti bo on izpolnil delež sorodnika, dobro. Naj on stori sorodniški delež, toda če ti on ne bo storil sorodniškega deleža, potem ti bom jaz storil sorodniški delež, kakor živi Gospod. Lezi do jutra.«

14 She lay at his feet until the morning, then she rose up before one could discern another. For he said, “Let it not be known that the woman came to the threshing floor.”

In pri njegovih stopalih je ležala do jutra. Vstala je, preden je kdo lahko prepoznal drugega. Rekel je: »Naj se ne izve, da je na mlatišče prišla ženska.«

15 He said, “Bring the mantle that is on you, and hold it.” She held it; and he measured six measures of barley, and laid it on her; then he went into the city.

Prav tako je rekel: »Prinesi zagrinjalo, ki ga imaš na sebi in ga drži.« Ko ga je držala, ji je odmeril šest meric ječmena in ga naložil nanjo in odšla je v mesto.

16 When she came to her mother-in-law, she said, “How did it go, my daughter?” She told her all that the man had done for her.

Ko je prišla k svoji tašči, je ta rekla: »Kdo si, moja hči?« In povedala ji je vse, kar ji je storil mož.

17 She said, “He gave me these six measures of barley; for he said, ‘Don’t go empty to your mother-in-law.’”

Rekla ji je: »Dal mi je teh šest meric ječmena, kajti rekel mi je: ›Ne pojdi prazna k svoji tašči.‹«

18 Then she said, “Wait, my daughter, until you know what will happen; for the man will not rest until he has settled this today.”

Potem ji je ona rekla: »Mirno sedi, moja hči, dokler ne izveš, kako se bo stvar obrnila, kajti mož ne bo počival, dokler danes ne dokonča te stvari.«
