In context
10 Ndipo akapiga magoti mbele ya Boazi, na kugusisha kichwa chake chini. Akamwambia, “Kwa nini nimepata kibali machoni pako, hata unijali mimi mgeni?”
11 Boazi akajibu na kumwabia, “Nimekwisha ambiwa, yote uliyo yafanya tangu mme wako afariki. Umewaacha baba yako, mama, na nchi uliyozaliwa kumfuata mama mkwe wako na kuja kwa watu usiowajua.
12 Yahweh akulipe kwa matendo yako. Yahweh akulipe kwa wingi, Mungu wa Israeli, ambaye chini ya mbawa zake umepata kimbilio.”
13 Ruth akasema, “Nipate kibali machoni pako, bwana wangu, kwa kuwa umenifariji, na umeongea wema kwangu, ingawa mimi sio mmoja wa watumishi wako wa kike.”
14 Wakati wa chakula Boazi alimwambia Ruth, “Njoo hapa, ule baadhi ya mikate, na uchovye kipande katika divai.” Alikaa kando ya wavunaji, na Boazi akampatia kiasi cha nafaka zilizo kaangwa. Ruth alikula mpaka alipotosheka na kusaza.
15 Alipoinuka kwenda kuvuna, Boazi aliamuru vijana wake, akisema, “Mwacheni avune hata katika masuke, na msimwambie lolote baya.
16 Na pia muachie baadhi ya masuke katika vifurushi kwa ajili yake, na muaache ili ayavune. Msimkemee.”
