Note 1 topic: writing-background
וַיְהִי֙ בַּחֲצִ֣י הַלַּ֔יְלָה
and=he/it_was in/on/at/with,middle the=night
This clause gives information about when the next event in the story happened. Use a natural way in your language to give background information. Alternate translation: “Hours later, in the middle of the night,”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive
וַיֶּחֱרַ֥ד הָאִ֖ישׁ
and,startled the=man
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. It is not clear what startled Boaz. Perhaps he suddenly felt the cold air on his feet or legs. Alternate translation: “the man startled”

וְהִנֵּ֣ה

Here the word behold shows that what follows was very surprising to Boaz. Use your language’s way of expressing surprise. Alternate translation: "And much to his surprise"
3:8 He was surprised (literally He was terrified): Boaz knew that a woman lay at his feet, but he did not know who she was or why she was there.
