Ruth 3
1 A little later Naomi said to Ruth, “My daughter, don't you think I should find you a husband and a good home?
Potom reèe joj Nojemina svekrva njezina: kæeri moja, ne treba li da ti potražim poèinka, da bi ti dobro bilo?
2 Don't ignore the fact that Boaz, whose women you worked with, is closely related to us. Now tonight he will be busy winnowing grain on the threshing floor.
Evo, nije li nam rod Voz, kod kojega si bila s djevojkama njegovijem? evo, on æe ovu noæ vijati jeèam na gumnu.
3 Have a bath, put on some perfume, wear your best clothes, and go down to the threshing floor—but don't let him recognize you. Once he's 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 watch where he goes to lie down. Then go and uncover his feet and lie down. Then he will tell you what 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 “I'll do everything you told me,” said Ruth.
A Ruta joj reèe: što mi god kažeš, uèiniæu.
6 She went down to the threshing floor and did what her mother-in-law had told her to do.
I otide na gumno i uèini sve što joj zapovjedi svekrva.
7 After Boaz had finished eating and drinking, and was feeling contented, he went and lay down beside the grain pile. Ruth quietly approached him, uncovered his feet, and lay 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 Around midnight Boaz suddenly woke up. Bending forward he was surprised to see a woman lying at his feet.
A kad bi oko ponoæi trže se èovjek i obrnu se, a gle, žena ležaše kod nogu njegovijeh.
9 “Who are you?” he asked. “I'm Ruth, your servant,” she replied. “Please spread the corner of your cloak over me, for you are my family redeemer.”
I on joj reèe: ko si? Odgovori: ja sam Ruta sluškinja tvoja; raširi krilo svoje na sluškinju svoju, jer si mi osvetnik.
10 “May the Lord bless you, my daughter,” he said. “You are showing even more loyalty and love to the family than before. You haven't gone looking for a younger man, of whatever social status.
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 So don't worry, my daughter. I will do everything you ask—everyone in town knows you are a woman of good character.
Zato sada, kæeri moja, ne boj se; što god reèeš uèiniæu ti; jer zna cijelo mjesto naroda mojega da si poštena žena.
12 However, even though I'm one of your family redeemers, there's one who is more closely related than I am.
Jest istina, ja sam ti osvetnik; ali ima jošte bliži od mene.
13 Stay here tonight, and in the morning if he wants to redeem you, then fine, let him do it. But if he doesn't, then I promise you in the name of the living Lord, I will redeem you. Lie down here until 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 So Ruth lay at his feet until morning. Then she got up before it was light enough to recognize anyone because Boaz had told her, “No one must know that a woman came here to the threshing 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 He also told her, “Bring me the cloak you're wearing and hold it out.” So she held it out and he poured out six measures of barley into it. He helped her put it on her back and she went back to 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 Ruth went to her mother-in-law, who asked her, “How did it go for you, my daughter?” So Ruth told her everything that Boaz had done for her.
I doðe svekrvi svojoj, koja joj reèe: šta bi, kæeri moja? A ona joj kaza sve što joj uèini onaj èovjek.
17 “And he also gave me these six measures of barley,” she added. “He told me, ‘You mustn't go home to your mother-in-law empty-handed.’”
I reèe: ovijeh šest mjerica jeèma dade mi, jer mi reèe: nemoj se vratiti prazna k svekrvi svojoj.
18 Naomi said to Ruth, “Wait patiently, my daughter, until you find out how it all works out. Boaz won't rest until he has it settled today.”
A ona joj reèe: poèekaj, kæeri moja, dok doznaš kako æe izaæi; jer onaj èovjek neæe se smiriti dok ne svrši stvar danas.
