Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom
שְׁבִ֣י
wait
Here, Sit is an idiom that means to wait patiently and calmly. 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: “Stay quiet” or “Be patient”
Note 2 topic: writing-politeness
בִתִּ֔י

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / litotes
לֹ֤א יִשְׁקֹט֙ הָאִ֔ישׁ כִּֽי־אִם
not rest the=man that/for/because/then/when if
Naomi is using a figure of speech here that expresses a strongly positive meaning by using a negative word, not, together with rest, which is the opposite of the intended meaning. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express the positive meaning and strengthen it another way. Alternate translation: “the man will diligently pursue this until”

if settle the,matter
Here, this matter refers to the need of the two women for a kinsman-redeemer. You could include this information if that would be helpful to your readers. Alternate translation: “unless he has resolved our problem” or “until he gets us a kinsman-redeemer”
Ruth 1-4
The story of Ruth is set in the time of the Judges, a few generations before the birth of King David. While much animosity often existed between Israel and Moab (Judges 3:12-30; 10:6-12:7; 2 Samuel 8:2; 10; 2 Kings 3:4-27; 2 Chronicles 20; see also Nations across the Jordan River map), other times the two nations appear to have enjoyed a somewhat congenial relationship, as is demonstrated by Naomi’s willingness to relocate to Moab to seek relief from a famine. Later Naomi’s sons also marry Moabite women, and Ruth’s devotion to Naomi and her God no doubt speaks highly of the character of many Moabites. Many years later Ruth’s great-grandson David placed his parents in the care of the king of Moab while he was on the run from King Saul (1 Samuel 22:3-4).
