Da sprach Boas zu Ruth: Hörst du es, meine Tochter? Du sollst nicht gehen auf einen andern Acker, aufzulesen, und gehe auch nicht von hinnen, sondern halte dich zu meinen Dirnen.
Entonces Booz dijo a Ruth: Oye, hija mía, no vayas a espigar a otro campo, ni pases de aquí: y aquí estarás con mis mozas.
Boaz dit à Ruth: Ecoute, ma fille, ne va pas glaner dans un autre champ; ne t'éloigne pas d'ici, et reste avec mes servantes.
Allora Booz disse a Rut: Intendi, figliuola mia; non andare a spigolare in altro campo, e anche non partirti di qui; anzi stattene qui presso alle mie fanciulle.
Então disse Boaz a Rute: Ouves, filha minha; não vás colher em outro campo, nem tampouco passes daqui; porém aqui ficarás com as minhas moças.
