¹And Naomi had a relation of her husband's, a mighty man of wealth, of the family of Elimelech, and his name was Boaz.

¹A Naoma, mala známeho svojho muža, mocného muža bohatého, z čeľade Elimelechovej, ktorému bolo meno Boaz.

²And Ruth the Moabitess said to Naomi, Let me, I pray, go to the field and glean among the ears of corn after [him] in whose sight I shall find favour. And she said to her, Go, my daughter.

²A Ruť Moábska riekla Naome: Dovoľ, prosím, žeby som išla na pole a sbierala klasy za tým, v ktorého očiach najdem milosť. A ona jej riekla: Iď moja dcéra.

³And she went; and she came and gleaned in the fields after the reapers; and she chanced to light on an allotment of Boaz, who was of the family of Elimelech.

³Tak išla a prišla a sbierala na poli za žencami. A prihodilo sa jej, že prišla na čiastku poľa, ktoré patrilo Boazovi, ktorý bol z čeľade Elimelechovej.

⁴And behold, Boaz came from Bethlehem; and he said to the reapers, Jehovah be with you! And they said to him, Jehovah bless thee!

⁴A hľa, Boaz prišiel z Betlehema a riekol žencom: Hospodin s vami! A oni mu povedali: Nech ťa požehná Hospodin!

⁵And Boaz said to his servant that was set over the reapers, Whose maiden is this?

⁵Potom riekol Boaz svojmu sluhovi, ktorý bol postavený nad žencami. Čia je táto dievčina?

⁶And the servant that was set over the reapers answered and said, It is the Moabitish maiden who came back with Naomi out of the fields of Moab;

⁶A sluha, postavený nad žencami, odpovedal a riekol: Je to moábska dievčina, ktorá prišla zpät s Naomou z moábskeho kraja.

⁷and she said, I pray you, let me glean and gather among the sheaves after the reapers. And she came, and has continued from the morning until now: her sitting in the house has been little as yet.

⁷Povedala: Dovoľ, prosím, žeby som sbierala a brala medzi snopami za žencami. A tedy prišla a stojí na nohách od samého rána až doteraz, krome že toto čosi máličko bola pobudla doma.

⁸And Boaz said to Ruth, Hearest thou not, my daughter? Go not to glean in another field, neither go from here, but keep here with my maidens.

⁸A Boaz riekol Ruti: Či nepočuješ, moja dcéro? Nechoď sbierať na iné pole ani neodchádzaj odtiaľto, ale tu sa drž s mojimi dievkami.

⁹Let thine eyes be on the field which is being reaped, and go thou after them; have I not charged the young men not to touch thee? And when thou art athirst, go to the vessels and drink of what the young men draw.

⁹Nech sú tvoje oči na poli, na ktorom budú žať, a pojdeš za nimi. Lebo som prikázal sluhom, aby sa ťa nedotkli. A keď budeš smädná, pojdeš k nádobám a napiješ sa vody, ktorej navážia sluhovia.

¹⁰Then she fell on her face, and bowed herself to the ground, and said to him, Why have I found favour in thine eyes, that thou shouldest regard me, seeing I am a foreigner?

¹⁰A ona padnúc na svoju tvár poklonila sa k zemi a riekla mu: Prečo to, že som našla milosť v tvojich očiach, aby si sa znal ku mne, keď som ja cudzozemka?

¹¹And Boaz answered and said to her, It has fully been shewn me, all that thou hast done to thy mother-in-law since the death of thy husband; and how thou hast left thy father and thy mother, and the land of thy nativity, and art come to a people that thou hast not known heretofore.

¹¹A Boaz odpovedal a riekol jej: Áno, oznámené mi je všetko, čo si konala svojej svokre po smrti svojho muža a že si opustila svojho otca a svoju mať i zem, v ktorej si sa narodila, a odišla si k ľudu, ktorého si predtým neznala.

¹²Jehovah recompense thy work, and let thy reward be full from Jehovah the God of Israel, under whose wings thou art come to take refuge.

¹²Hospodin nech ti odplatí tvoj skutok, a tvoja mzda nech je celá od Hospodina, Boha Izraelovho, že si prišla, aby si sa utiekla pod jeho krýdla.

¹³And she said, Let me find favour in thine eyes, my lord; for that thou hast comforted me, and for that thou hast spoken kindly to thy handmaid, though I am not like one of thy handmaidens.

¹³Na to riekla ona: Nech najdem milosť v tvojich očiach, môj pane, lebo si ma potešil a hovoril si k srdcu svojej dievky, hoci ja nie som ako niektorá z tvojich dievok.

¹⁴And Boaz said to her at mealtime, Come hither and eat of the bread, and dip thy morsel in the vinegar. And she sat beside the reapers; and he reached her parched corn, and she ate and was sufficed, and reserved [some].

¹⁴A Boaz jej riekol: Keď bude čas jesť, prijdi sem a budeš jesť z môjho chleba a budeš máčať svoju skyvu v octe. A tak si sadla vedľa k žencom, a podal jej pražmy. A jedla a nasýtila sa, aj ešte nechala.

¹⁵And when she rose up to glean, Boaz commanded his young men, saying, Let her glean even among the sheaves, and ye shall not reproach her.

¹⁵A keď vstala, aby sbierala, prikázal Boaz svojim sluhom a riekol: Keby sbierala i medzi snopami, neblížte jej.

¹⁶And ye shall also sometimes draw out for her [some ears] out of the handfuls, and leave them that she may glean, and rebuke her not.

¹⁶Ba ešte i naschvál jej púšťajte z hrstí a zanechávajte, aby sbierala, a nedohovárajte jej.

¹⁷And she gleaned in the field until even, and beat out what she had gleaned; and it was about an ephah of barley.

¹⁷A tak sbierala na poli až do večera. A keď vymlátila to, čo nasbierala, bolo toho tak asi efa jačmeňa.

¹⁸And she took [it] up, and came into the city, and her mother-in-law saw what she had gleaned; and she brought forth and gave to her that which she had reserved after she was sufficed.

¹⁸Potom to vzala a prišla do mesta, a jej svokra videla, čo nasbierala. A vyňala a dala jej to, čo zvýšila keď sa nasýtila.

¹⁹And her mother-in-law said to her, Where hast thou gleaned to-day? and where hast thou wrought? Blessed be he that did regard thee! And she told her mother-in-law with whom she had wrought, and said, The man's name with whom I wrought to-day is Boaz.

¹⁹A jej svokra jej povedala: Kde si sbierala dnes a kde si robila? Nech je požehnaný ten, ktorý sa k tebe znal! A oznámila svojej svokre, u koho robila, a riekla: Meno muža, u ktorého som dnes robila, je Boaz.

²⁰And Naomi said to her daughter-in-law, Blessed be he of Jehovah, who has not left off his kindness to the living and to the dead! And Naomi said to her, The man is near of kin to us, one of those who have the right of our redemption.

²⁰A Naoma riekla svojej neveste: Nech je požehnaný Hospodinovi, ktorý neupustil od svojho milosrdenstva ani pri živých ani pri mŕtvych! A potom jej riekla Naoma: Ten muž nám je blízky, a je z našich výkupníkov s švagrovským právom.

²¹And Ruth the Moabitess said, He said to me also, Thou shalt keep with my young men until they have ended all my harvest.

²¹Na to riekla Ruť Moábska: Ba ešte mi aj to povedal, drž sa vraj mojich sluhov, dokiaľ nedožnú všetkého môjho žniva.

²²And Naomi said to Ruth her daughter-in-law, It is good, my daughter, that thou go out with his maidens, that they meet thee not in any other field.

²²A Naoma riekla Ruti, svojej neveste: Dobre, moja dcéro, keď budeš chodiť ta von s jeho dievkami, aby sa neoborili na teba na inom poli.

²³So she kept with the maidens of Boaz to glean, until the end of the barley-harvest and of the wheat-harvest. And she dwelt with her mother-in-law.

²³A tak sa pridŕžala dievok Boazových sbierajúc klasy, kým len nepožali jačmeňa a kým nepožali i pšenice. A bývala so svojou svokrou.
