Ruth 4

CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN	Biblija Hrvatski
1 Then Boaz went up to the gate, and he sat there. And when he had seen the kinsman passing by, whom he had previously discussed, he spoke to him, calling him by his name, “Pause for a little while, and sit down here.” He turned aside 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 But Boaz, calling aside ten men among the elders of the city, said to them, “Sit down here.”	2 Onda Boaz uze deset ljudi između starješina gradskih i reče: »Posjedajte ovdje!« I posjedaše.
3 They settled down, and he spoke to the kinsman, “Naomi, who has returned from the region of the Moabites, is selling part of a field of our brother Elimelech.	3 Zatim reče skrbniku: »Noemi, koja se vratila s Moapskih polja, htjela bi prodati ono zemlje našega brata Elimeleka.
4 I wanted you to hear this, and to tell you in front of everyone sitting here, including the eldest of my people. If you will take possession of it by the right of kinship, buy it and possess it. But if it displeases you, you should reveal this to me, so that I will know what I have to do. For there is no near kinsman besides you, who is before me, and I am after you.” But he answered, “I will buy the field.”	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 And Boaz said to him, “When buying the field, you are likewise obliged to accept the hand of the woman Ruth, the Moabite, who was the wife of the deceased, so that you may raise up the name of your near kinsman through his posterity.”	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 He answered, “I yield my right of kinship, for I am obliged not to cut off the posterity of my own family. You may make use of my privilege, which I freely declare I will forego.”	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 Yet it was the custom between kinsmen in this former time in Israel, that if at anytime one yielded his right to another, so as to confirm his permission, the man took off his shoe and gave it to his neighbor. This was a testimony of concession 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 And so Boaz said to his kinsman, “Take off your shoe.” And immediately he released it from his foot.	8 Tako, dakle, i onaj skrbnik reče Boazu: »Otkupi ti!« te izu sandalu i dade mu je.
9 And he said to the eldest and to all the people, “You are witnesses this day, that I have taken possession of all that belonged to Elimelech and Chilion and Mahlon, and was bequeathed to Naomi.	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 Ruth, the Moabite, the wife of Mahlon, I have taken in marriage so as to raise up the name of the deceased in his posterity, so that his name will not be cut off from among his family and his brethren and his people. You, I say, are witnesses of this thing.”	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 who were at the gate, along with the eldest, answered, “We are witnesses. May the Lord make this woman, who enters into your house, like Rachel, and Leah, who built up the house of Israel, so that she may be an example of virtue in Ephrathah, and so that her name may be honored 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 may your house be like the house of Perez, whom Tamar bore to Judah, of the offspring which the Lord will give to you from this young woman.”	12 Neka tvoja kuća, po potomstvu koje će ti dati Jahve od ove mlade žene, bude kao kuća Peresa, koga Judi rodi Tamara!«
13 And so Boaz took Ruth, and received her as his wife, and he went in to her, and the Lord granted to her to conceive and bear 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 the Lord, who has not permitted your family to be without a successor, and may his name be called upon in Israel.	14 Onda žene rekoše Noemi: »Blagoslovljen bio Jahve koji ti danas nije uskratio skrbnika! I prodičio njegovo ime u Izraelu!
15 And now you may have someone to comfort your soul and to care for you in old age, for he is born of your daughter-in-law, who loves you, and this is much better for you, than if you had 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 taking up the boy, Naomi placed him on her bosom, and she took on the duties of carrying him and nursing him.	16 Noemi uze dječaka, metnu ga sebi na krilo i bî mu odgojiteljicom.
17 And the women of the near future were congratulating her and saying, “There was a son born to Naomi. They called his name Obed. Here is 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 generations of Perez: Perez conceived Hezron,	18 A ovo je rodoslovlje Peresovo: Peres imade sina Hesrona,
19 Hezron conceived Aram, Aram conceived Amminadab,	19 Hesron Rama, Ram Aminadaba,
20 Amminadab conceived Nahshon, Nahshon conceived Salmon,	20 Aminadab Nahšona, Nahšon Salmona,
21 Salmon conceived Boaz, Boaz conceived Obed,	21 Salmon Boaza, Boaz Obeda,
22 Obed conceived Jesse, Jesse conceived David.	22 Obed Jišaja, a Jišaj Davida.
