Ruth 4

NEW AMERICAN BIBLE	Biblija Hrvatski
1 Boaz went and took a seat at the gate; and when he saw the closer relative of whom he had spoken come along, he called to him by name, "Come and sit beside me!" And he did so.	1 Boaz potom iziđe na gradska vrata i sjede ondje. I gle, naiđe onaj skrbnik o kome je govorio. I dozva ga Boaz: »Ej, hodi ovamo i sjedni!« Onaj dođe i sjede.
2 Then Boaz picked out ten of the elders of the city and asked them to sit nearby. When they had done this,	2 Onda Boaz uze deset ljudi između starješina gradskih i reče: »Posjedajte ovdje!« I posjedaše.
3 he said to the near relative: "Naomi, who has come back from the Moabite plateau, is putting up for sale the piece of land that belonged to our kinsman Elimelech.	3 Zatim reče skrbniku: »Noemi, koja se vratila s Moapskih polja, htjela bi prodati ono zemlje našega brata Elimeleka.
4 So I thought I would inform you, bidding you before those here present, including the elders of my people, to put in your claim for it if you wish to acquire it as next of kin. But if you do not wish to claim it, tell me so, that I may be guided accordingly, for no one has a prior claim to yours, and mine is next." He answered, "I will put in my claim."	4 Zato sam odlučio da se s tobom razgovorim i predložim ti: otkupi njivu pred ovima koji sjede ovdje i pred starješinama moga naroda. Ako je kaniš otkupiti, onda otkupi; ako ne kaniš, kaži mi da znam. Jer prije tebe nema nitko pravo na otkup; ja sam na redu tek iza tebe.« A onaj reče: »Hoću, otkupit ću je.«
5 Boaz continued, "Once you acquire the field from Naomi, you must take also Ruth the Moabite, the widow of the late heir, and raise up a family for the departed on his estate."	5 Onda kaza Boaz: »Kad uzmeš zemlju iz ruke Noemi, treba da uzmeš iRutu Moapku, pokojnikovu ženu, da se pokojniku sačuva ime na baštini.«
6 The near relative replied, "I cannot exercise my claim lest I depreciate my own estate. Put in a claim yourself in my stead, for I cannot exercise my claim."	6 Ali skrbnik reče: »E, onda ne mogu biti otkupnik, da ne raspem svoje baštine. Otkupi ti po svome skrbničkom pravu jer ja ne mogu.«
7 Now it used to be the custom in Israel that, to make binding a contract of redemption or exchange, one party would take off his sandal and give it to the other. This was the form of attestation in Israel.	7 A bijaše od starine običaj u Izraelu: da se čemu potkrijepi valjanost otkupa ili zamjene, čovjek bi izuo sandalu i dao je drugome. To bijaše svjedočanstvo u Izraelu.
8 So the near relative, in saying to Boaz, "Acquire it for yourself," drew off his sandal.	8 Tako, dakle, i onaj skrbnik reče Boazu: »Otkupi ti!« te izu sandalu i dade mu je.
9 Boaz then said to the elders and to all the people, "You are witnesses today that I have acquired from Naomi all the holdings of Elimelech, Chilion and Mahlon.	9 Tada Boaz kaza starješinama i svemu narodu: »Vi ste danas svjedoci da ja otkupljujem iz ruke Noemine sve ono što je bilo Elimelekovo, sve što je bilo Kiljonovo i Mahlonovo.
10 I also take Ruth the Moabite, the widow of Mahlon, as my wife, in order to raise up a family for her late husband on his estate, so that the name of the departed may not perish among his kinsmen and fellow citizens. Do you witness this today?"	10 Uz to uzimam za ženu Rutu Moapku, ženu Mahlonovu, da bi se sačuvalo ime pokojnikovo na baštini i da se ime njegovo ne bi zatrlo među braćom njegovom i nestalo s vratâ zavičaja njegova. Vi ste danas tome svjedoci.«
11 All those at the gate, including the elders, said, "We do so. May the LORD make this wife come into your house like Rachel and Leah, who between them built up the house of Israel. May you do well in Ephrathah and win fame in Bethlehem.	11 Sav narod koji se nalazio na vratima gradskim i starješine rekoše: »Svjedoci smo! Dao Jahve da žena koja ulazi u dom tvoj bude kao Rahela i Lea, koje su obje podigle kuću Izraelovu! Obogati se u Efrati, a prodiči u Betlehemu!
12 With the offspring the LORD will give you from this girl, may your house become like the house of Perez, whom Tamar bore to Judah."	12 Neka tvoja kuća, po potomstvu koje će ti dati Jahve od ove mlade žene, bude kao kuća Peresa, koga Judi rodi Tamara!«
13 Boaz took Ruth. When they came together as man and wife, the LORD enabled her to conceive and she bore a son.	13 Tako Boaz uze Rutu i ona posta žena njegova. Uđe on k njoj i Jahve joj dade te ona zatrudnje i rodi sina.
14 Then the women said to Naomi, "Blessed is the LORD who has not failed to provide you today with an heir! May he become famous in Israel!	14 Onda žene rekoše Noemi: »Blagoslovljen bio Jahve koji ti danas nije uskratio skrbnika! I prodičio njegovo ime u Izraelu!
15 He will be your comfort and the support of your old age, for his mother is the daughter-in-law who loves you. She is worth more to you than seven sons!"	15 On će biti tvoja utjeha i potpora starosti tvojoj; jer ga rodi snaha tvoja koja te ljubi i koja ti vrijedi više od sedam sinova.«
16 Naomi took the child, placed him on her lap, and became his nurse.	16 Noemi uze dječaka, metnu ga sebi na krilo i bî mu odgojiteljicom.
17 And the neighbor women gave him his name, at the news that a grandson had been born to Naomi. They called him Obed. He was the father of Jesse, the father of David.	17 Susjede mu nadjenuše ime govoreći: »Noemi se rodio sin!« I prozvaše ga Obed; on je otac Jišaja, oca Davidova.
18 These are the descendants of Perez: Perez was the father of Hezron,	18 A ovo je rodoslovlje Peresovo: Peres imade sina Hesrona,
19 Hezron was the father of Ram, Ram was the father of Amminadab,	19 Hesron Rama, Ram Aminadaba,
20 Amminadab was the father of Nahshon, Nahshon was the father of Salmon,	20 Aminadab Nahšona, Nahšon Salmona,
21 Salmon was the father of Boaz, Boaz was the father of Obed,	21 Salmon Boaza, Boaz Obeda,
22 Obed was the father of Jesse, and Jesse became the father of David.	22 Obed Jišaja, a Jišaj Davida.
