Ruth 4

NEW JERUSALEM	Biblija Hrvatski
1 Boaz, meanwhile, had gone up to the gate and sat down, and the relative of whom he had spoken thencame by. Boaz said to him, 'Here, my friend, come and sit down'; the man came and sat down.	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 Boaz then picked out ten of the town's elders and said, 'Sit down here'; they sat down.	2 Onda Boaz uze deset ljudi između starješina gradskih i reče: »Posjedajte ovdje!« I posjedaše.
3 Boaz then said to the man who had the right of redemption, 'Naomi, who has come back from the Plainsof Moab, is sel ing the piece of land that belonged to our brother, Elimelech.	3 Zatim reče skrbniku: »Noemi, koja se vratila s Moapskih polja, htjela bi prodati ono zemlje našega brata Elimeleka.
4 I thought I should tel you about this and say, "Acquire it in the presence of the men who are sitting hereand in the presence of the elders of my people. If you want to use your right of redemption, redeem it; if you donot, tel me so that I know, for I am the only person to redeem it besides yourself, and I myself come after you." 'The man said, 'I am wil ing to redeem it.'	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 then said, 'The day you acquire the field from Naomi, you also acquire Ruth the Moabitess, thewife of the man who has died, to perpetuate the dead man's name in his inheritance.'	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 man with the right of redemption then said, 'I cannot use my right of redemption withoutjeopardising my own inheritance. Since I cannot use my right of redemption, exercise the right yourself.'	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, in former times, it was the custom in Israel to confirm a transaction in matters of redemption orinheritance by one of the parties taking off his sandal and giving it to the other. This was how agreements wereratified 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, when the man with the right of redemption said to Boaz, 'Acquire it for yourself,' he took off hissandal.	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 al the people there, 'Today you are witnesses that from Naomi Iacquire everything that used to belong to Elimelech, and everything that used to belong to Mahlon and Chilion	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 and that I am also acquiring Ruth the Moabitess, Mahlon's widow, to be my wife, to perpetuate thedead man's name in his inheritance, so that the dead man's name will not be lost among his brothers and at thegate of his town. Today you are witnesses to this.'	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 the people at the gate said, 'We are witnesses'; and the elders said, 'May Yahweh make the womanabout to enter your family like Rachel and Leah who together built up the House of Israel. Grow mighty inEphrathah, be renowned 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 And through the children Yahweh wil give you by this young woman, may your family be like the familyof 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 So Boaz took Ruth and she became his wife. And when they came together, Yahweh made herconceive 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 And the women said to Naomi, 'Blessed be Yahweh who has not left you today without anyone toredeem you. May his name be praised in Israel!	14 Onda žene rekoše Noemi: »Blagoslovljen bio Jahve koji ti danas nije uskratio skrbnika! I prodičio njegovo ime u Izraelu!
15 The child wil be a comfort to you and the prop of your old age, for he has been born to the daughter-in-law who loves you and is 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 And Naomi, taking the child, held him to her breast; and she it was who looked after him.	16 Noemi uze dječaka, metnu ga sebi na krilo i bî mu odgojiteljicom.
17 And the women of the neighbourhood gave him a name. 'A son', they said, 'has been born to Naomi,'and they cal ed him Obed. This 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 fathered Hezron,	18 A ovo je rodoslovlje Peresovo: Peres imade sina Hesrona,
19 Hezron fathered Ram, Ram fathered Amminadab,	19 Hesron Rama, Ram Aminadaba,
20 Amminadab fathered Nahshon, Nahshon fathered Salmon,	20 Aminadab Nahšona, Nahšon Salmona,
21 Salmon fathered Boaz, Boaz fathered Obed,	21 Salmon Boaza, Boaz Obeda,
22 Obed fathered Jesse, and Jesse fathered David.'	22 Obed Jišaja, a Jišaj Davida.
