OET interlinear RUTH 4:17

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / parallelism

וַ⁠תִּקְרֶאנָה֩ ל֨⁠וֹ הַ⁠שְּׁכֵנ֥וֹת שֵׁם֙ לֵ⁠אמֹ֔ר & וַ⁠תִּקְרֶ֤אנָֽה שְׁמ⁠וֹ֙ עוֹבֵ֔ד

and,gave to=him/it the,neighborhood name_of to=say & and,called his/its=name ˊŌⱱēd

These two clauses mean basically the same thing. The first phrase introduces the naming event, and the second repeats it in order to report the event. If it would be helpful to your readers, you could combine the clauses that both refer to calling out a name. Alternate translation: “Then the women of the neighborhood said … And they called him Obed”

A son has been born to Naomi is an idiom that means “Naomi now has a grandson, a male in her family line.” 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: “Naomi now has a male heir again”
