2 Ruth, Mmoabu, alimwambia Naomi, “Ngoja niende nikakusanye mabaki ya chakula katika shamba. Nitamfuata yeyote ambaye nitapata kibali machoni pake.” Hivyo naomi akamwambia, “Nenda, mwanangu.”

and to say Boaz to/for youth his [the] to stand upon [the] to reap to/for who? [the] maiden [the] this

and to say Boaz to(wards) Ruth not to hear: hear daughter my not to go: went to/for to gather in/on/with land: country another and also not to pass from this and thus to cleave [emph?] with maiden my
9 Yaelekeze tu macho yako kwenye shamba ambamo wanaume wanavuna na ufuatie nyuma ya wanawake wengine. Je, sikuwaelekeza wanaume wasikuguse? Na upatapo kiu, unaweza kwenda kunywa maji kwenye mtungi ambao wanaume wamejaza.”

and to fall: fall upon face her and to bow land: soil [to] and to say to(wards) him why? to find favor in/on/with eye your to/for to recognize me (and I *L(abh)*) foreign

and to say to find favor in/on/with eye your lord my for to be sorry: comfort me and for to speak: speak upon heart maidservant your and I not to be like/as one maidservant your
14 Wakati wa chakula Boazi alimwambia Ruth, “Njoo hapa, ule baadhi ya mikate, na uchovye kipande katika divai.” Alikaa kando ya wavunaji, na Boazi akampatia kiasi cha nafaka zilizo kaangwa. Ruth alikula mpaka alipotosheka na kusaza.
and to say to/for her Boaz to/for time [the] food to approach: approach here and to eat from [the] food: bread and to dip morsel your in/on/with vinegar and to dwell from side [the] to reap and to serve to/for her roasted and to eat and to satisfy and to remain

and to arise: rise to/for to gather and to command Boaz [obj] youth his to/for to say also between [the] sheaf to gather and not be humiliated her

and to gather in/on/with land: country till [the] evening and to beat [obj] which to gather and to be like/as ephah barley
18 Akazibeba na kwenda katika mji. Ndipo mama mkwe wake aliona kile alichokivuna. Ruth pia alimletea mama mkwe wake nafaka zilizo kaangwa alizobakiza kwenye chakula chake.
and to lift: bear and to come (in): come [the] city and to see: see mother-in-law her [obj] which to gather and to come out: send and to give: give to/for her [obj] which to remain from satiety her
19 Mama mkwe wake akamwambia, “Umevunia wapi uliko vunia leo? Ulienda kufanyia wapi kazi? abarikiwe mtu aliye kusaidia.” Ndipo Ruth akamwambia mama mkwe wake kuhusu mtu aliye miliki shamba alilokuwa akifanya kazi. Alimwambia, “Jina la mtu ambaye alimiliki shamba nililokuwa nikifanya kazi ni Boazi.”
and to say to/for her mother-in-law her where? to gather [the] day and where? to make: do to be to recognize you to bless and to tell to/for mother-in-law her [obj] which to make: do with him and to say name [the] man which to make: do with him [the] day Boaz
20 Naomi akamwambia Ruth, “Abarikiwe na Yahweh, ambaye hakuondoa uaminifu wake kwa walio hai na wafu.” Naomi akamwambia, “Huyo mtu ni jamaa wa karibu nasi, ni jamaa yetu mkombozi.”
and to say Naomi to/for daughter-in-law her to bless he/she/it to/for LORD which not to leave: forsake kindness his with [the] alive and with [the] to die and to say to/for her Naomi near to/for us [the] man from to redeem: redeem our he/she/it

22 Naomi akamwambia Ruth mke wa mtoto wake wa kiume, “Ni vizuri, mwanangu, kuwa uende pamoja na wasichana wake wa kazi, ili kwamba usije pata madhara yeyote katika shamba lolote.”
and to say Naomi to(wards) Ruth daughter-in-law her pleasant daughter my for to come out: come with maiden his and not to fall on in/on/with you in/on/with land: country another
23 Kwa hiyo alikaa karibu na wafanyakazi wa kike ili avune mpaka mwisho wa mavuno ya shayiri na mavuno ya ngano. Na alikuwa akiishi pamoja na mama mkwe wake.
and to cleave in/on/with maiden Boaz to/for to gather till to end: finish harvest [the] barley and harvest [the] wheat and to dwell with mother-in-law her
