UTN 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.

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”
