And after Boaz had eaten and drunk, and (A)his heart was cheerful, he went to lie down at the end of the heap of grain; and she came softly, uncovered his feet, and lay down.

Now it happened at midnight that the man was startled, and turned himself; and there, a woman was lying at his feet. And he said, “Who are you?”

And it came to pass at midnight, that the man was afraid, and turned himself: and, behold, a woman lay at his feet.

And he said, Who art thou? And she answered, I am Ruth thine handmaid: spread therefore thy skirt over thine handmaid; for thou art a near kinsman.

Nang matapos kumain at uminom si Boaz, gumanda ang pakiramdam niya. Nahiga siya sa tabi ng bunton ng sebada para matulog. Dahan-dahang lumapit si Ruth at iniangat ang kumot sa paanan niya at nahiga roon. At nang maghahatinggabi na ay nagising si Boaz, at nang nag-inat[a] siya, nagulat siya na may babaeng nakahiga sa paanan niya. Nagtanong si Boaz, “Sino ka?” Sumagot siya, “Ako po si Ruth. Isa po ako sa malapit nʼyong kamag-anak na dapat nʼyong pangalagaan. Takpan nʼyo po ako ng damit ninyo para ipakita na pakakasalan at pangangalagaan nʼyo ako.”
