OET interlinear RUTH 2:11

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / hendiadys

וַ⁠יַּ֤עַן בֹּ֨עַז֙ וַ⁠יֹּ֣אמֶר

and,answered Boˊaz and=he/it_said

Both answered and said describe the same action. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use only one verb for this, as in the UST. Alternate translation: "Then Boaz responded"

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / reduplication

הֻגֵּ֨ד הֻגַּ֜ד

to_be_told he_was_told

The words It has been fully reported translate a verb that is repeated twice to emphasize the fullness of the report. If your language can repeat words for emphasis, it would be appropriate to use that construction here in your translation.

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

הֻגֵּ֨ד הֻגַּ֜ד לִ֗⁠י

to_be_told he_was_told to=me

If your language does not use the passive form in this way, you can state this in active form or in another way that is natural in your language. Alternate translation: "People have fully reported to me"

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

וַ⁠תֵּ֣לְכִ֔י אֶל־עַ֕ם

and,came to/towards people

With the words you came to a people, Boaz is referring to Ruth coming to dwell with Naomi in a village and community, a country and religion that she did not know.

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

תְּמ֥וֹל שִׁלְשֽׁוֹם׃

yesterday (Some words not found in UHB: and,answered Boˊaz and=he/it_said to/for=her/it to_be_told he_was_told to=me all which/who you(fs)_have_done DOM mother-in-law,your after to_die your(fs)=man/husband and,left father,your and,mother,your and,land birth,your and,came to/towards people which/who not know yesterday before )

Here, the day before yesterday is an idiom that means “recently.” If this phrase does not have that meaning in your language, you could use an idiom from your language that does have this meaning or state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “before” or “a little while ago”
