Also hielt sie sich zu den Dirnen des Boas, daß sie las, bis daß die Gerstenernte und Weizenernte aus war; und kam wieder zu ihrer Schwiegermutter.
Estuvo pues junta con las mozas de Booz espigando, hasta que la siega de las cebadas y la de los trigos fue acabada; mas con su suegra habitó.
Elle resta donc avec les servantes de Boaz, pour glaner, jusqu'à la fin de la moisson des orges et de la moisson du froment. Et elle demeurait avec sa belle-mère.
Ella dunque se ne stette presso alle fanciulle di Booz, per ispigolare, finchè la ricolta degli orzi e de’ frumenti fu finita. Poi dimorò con la sua suocera
Assim, ajuntou-se com as moças de Boaz, para colher até que a sega das cevadas e dos trigos se acabou; e ficou com a sua sogra.
