OET (OET-LV) And_she/it_said to/for_her/it mother-in-law_her where did_you_glean the_day and_where did_you_work may_he_be took_notice_of_you blessed and_told to_mother-in-law_her DOM whom she_had_worked with_him/it and_she/it_said the_name the_man whom I_worked with_him/it the_day [is]_Boˊaz.
OET (OET-RV) “Where did you pick up grain today and where did you work?” asked Naomi. “May the man who took notice of you be blessed.”
¶ So she told her mother-in-law where she had worked, “The name of the man I worked with today is Boaz.”
Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / parallelism
אֵיפֹ֨ה לִקַּ֤טְתְּ הַיּוֹם֙ וְאָ֣נָה עָשִׂ֔ית
where glean the=day and,where you(fs)_have_done
Naomi asked the same thing in two different ways to show that she was very excited and interested in knowing what had happened to Ruth that day. If it is not natural in your language to show excitement and interest by repeating a question, then use a more natural form. Alternate translation: “Wow, whose field did you work in today”
Note 2 topic: translate-blessing
יְהִ֥י מַכִּירֵ֖ךְ בָּר֑וּךְ
let_it_be took_notice_of,you blessed
Naomi is asking God to bless Boaz. You could express this as either a blessing or a prayer. Use whichever way is more natural in your language. Alternate translation: “God, bless the one who noticed Ruth today”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive
יְהִ֥י מַכִּירֵ֖ךְ בָּר֑וּךְ
let_it_be took_notice_of,you blessed
If your language does not use this passive form, you could express the idea in active form or in another way that is natural in your language. Alternate translation: “May God bless the one who noticed you”
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy
מַכִּירֵ֖ךְ
took_notice_of,you
The writer is using the term noticed to mean that the person not only saw Ruth but also did something kind for her. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “the one who helped you”
Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / parallelism
וַתַּגֵּ֣ד לַחֲמוֹתָ֗הּ אֵ֤ת אֲשֶׁר־עָשְׂתָה֙ עִמּ֔וֹ וַתֹּ֗אמֶר שֵׁ֤ם הָאִישׁ֙ אֲשֶׁ֨ר עָשִׂ֧יתִי עִמּ֛וֹ הַיּ֖וֹם בֹּֽעַז
and,told to,mother-in-law,her DOM which/who worked with=him/it and=she/it_said name_of the=man which/who worked with=him/it the=day Boˊaz
These two sentences mean basically the same thing. The second sentence repeats the meaning of the first, while using different words in order to emphasize the importance of this information for the story. If it would be helpful to your readers, you could combine the sentences or connect them in a way that shows that the second sentence is repeating the first one, not saying something additional. Alternate translation: “Then she told her mother-in-law that the name of the man with whom she had worked that day was Boaz” or “Then she told her mother-in-law with whom she had worked. She said, “The name of the man with whom I worked today is Boaz.”
2:19 all this grain: Ruth could not normally have gleaned nearly as much as an ephah of barley (about two-thirds of a bushel).
OET (OET-LV) And_she/it_said to/for_her/it mother-in-law_her where did_you_glean the_day and_where did_you_work may_he_be took_notice_of_you blessed and_told to_mother-in-law_her DOM whom she_had_worked with_him/it and_she/it_said the_name the_man whom I_worked with_him/it the_day [is]_Boˊaz.
OET (OET-RV) “Where did you pick up grain today and where did you work?” asked Naomi. “May the man who took notice of you be blessed.”
¶ So she told her mother-in-law where she had worked, “The name of the man I worked with today is Boaz.”
Note: The OET-RV is still only a first draft, and so far only a few words have been (mostly automatically) matched to the Greek words that they’re translated from.
