And Boaz said unto her, At mealtime come thou hither, and eat of the bread, and dip thy morsel in the vinegar. And she sat beside the reapers: and he reached her parched corn, and she did eat, and was sufficed, and left.

Boas sprach zu ihr, da Essenszeit war: Mache dich hier herzu und iß vom Brot und tauche deinen Bissen in den Essig. Und sie setzte sich zur Seite der Schnitter. Er aber legte ihr geröstete Körner vor, und sie aß und ward satt und ließ übrig.
Y Booz le dijo a la hora de comer: Allégate aquí, y come del pan, y moja tu bocado en el vinagre. Y sentose ella junto a los segadores, y él le dio del potaje, y comió hasta que se hartó y le sobró.
A la hora de comer, Booz le dijo: «Acércate, come del pan y moja tu bocado en el vinagre». Ella se sentó junto a los segadores, y él le ofreció grano tostado. Comió hasta quedar satisfecha y todavía le sobró.
Au moment du repas, Boaz dit à Ruth: Approche, mange du pain, et trempe ton morceau dans le vinaigre. Elle s'assit à côté des moissonneurs. On lui donna du grain rôti; elle mangea et se rassasia, et elle garda le reste.
Poi, nell’ora del mangiare, Booz le disse: Accostati qua, e mangia del pane, e intigni il tuo boccone nell’aceto. Ella dunque si pose a sedere allato a’ mietitori; e Booz le diè del grano arrostito, ed ella mangiò, e fu saziata, e ne serbò di resto.
E, sendo já hora de comer, disse-lhe Boaz: Achega-te aqui, e come do pão, e molha o teu bocado no vinagre. E ela se assentou ao lado dos segadores, e ele lhe deu do trigo tostado, e comeu, e se fartou, e ainda lhe sobejou.
