1Naomi had this rich dude in her fam, like a total boss, his name was Boaz.

2Ruth was like, "Yo Naomi, let me hit the field and grab some grain from whoever vibes with me." Naomi was like, "Go for it, my girl."

3She went and started gathering in the field after the harvesters, and guess what? She ended up in Boaz's field, who was fam with Elimelech.

4Then Boaz popped up from Bethlehem and said to the harvesters, "The Lord's with you." They were like, "Bless up!"

5Boaz asked his servant in charge, "Who's that girl over there?"

6The servant was like, "It's the Moabite girl who came back with Naomi from Moab."

7She was like, "Can I gather grain after the harvesters?" So she worked from morning till now, just chilling a bit at home.

8Boaz told Ruth, "Hey, my girl, don't go to another field. Stay close to my girls here."

9"Keep your eyes on the field they're reaping, and follow them. I told the guys to not mess with you. If you're thirsty, just drink from what they draw."

10She fell on her face and was like, "Why you showing me grace? I'm just a stranger."

11Boaz replied, "I heard all the dope stuff you've done for your mother-in-law since your husband passed. You left your fam and came here to a new crew."

12"The Lord's gonna reward your work, and you'll get mad blessings from the God of Israel, under whose wings you trust."

13Ruth was like, "Let me find favor in your eyes, my lord; you’ve comforted me and treated me nice, even though I'm not one of your girls."

14Boaz said, "At mealtime, come eat some bread and dip your food in vinegar." She sat with the harvesters, and he gave her some roasted grain. She ate, felt full, and left.

15When she got up to gather, Boaz told his young men, "Let her gather even among the sheaves, don’t give her a hard time."

16"Drop some extra grain on purpose for her and don’t rebuke her."

17So she gathered in the field until evening, beat out what she collected, and had about an ephah of barley.

18She took it back to the city, and her mother-in-law saw what she brought in. She shared what she had saved after eating.

19Her mother-in-law asked, "Where’d you gather today? Who helped you? Blessed be the dude who noticed you." Ruth showed her who she worked with and said, "The guy's name is Boaz."

20Naomi was like, "Blessed be he from the Lord, who hasn’t held back kindness to the living and the dead. That dude is our close relative."

21Ruth said, "He told me to stick close to his young men until the harvest is done."

22Naomi told Ruth, "That's good, my girl, go out with his maidens so you don’t get caught in another field."

23So she stayed close to Boaz's girls to gather till the end of barley and wheat harvest, living with her mother-in-law.

1And Naomi had a kinsman of her husband’s, a mighty man of wealth, of the family of Elimelech; and his name was Boaz.

2And Ruth the Moabitess said unto Naomi, Let me now go to the field, and glean ears of corn after him in whose sight I shall find grace. And she said unto her, Go, my daughter.

3And she went, and came, and gleaned in the field after the reapers: and her hap was to light on a part of the field belonging unto Boaz, who was of the kindred of Elimelech.

4And, behold, Boaz came from Beth–lehem, and said unto the reapers, The Lord be with you. And they answered him, The Lord bless thee.

5Then said Boaz unto his servant that was set over the reapers, Whose damsel is this?

6And the servant that was set over the reapers answered and said, It is the Moabitish damsel that came back with Naomi out of the country of Moab:

7And she said, I pray you, let me glean and gather after the reapers among the sheaves: so she came, and hath continued even from the morning until now, that she tarried a little in the house.

8Then said Boaz unto Ruth, Hearest thou not, my daughter? Go not to glean in another field, neither go from hence, but abide here fast by my maidens:

9Let thine eyes be on the field that they do reap, and go thou after them: have I not charged the young men that they shall not touch thee? and when thou art athirst, go unto the vessels, and drink of that which the young men have drawn.

10Then she fell on her face, and bowed herself to the ground, and said unto him, Why have I found grace in thine eyes, that thou shouldest take knowledge of me, seeing I am a stranger?

11And Boaz answered and said unto her, It hath fully been shewed me, all that thou hast done unto thy mother in law since the death of thine husband: and how thou hast left thy father and thy mother, and the land of thy nativity, and art come unto a people which thou knewest not heretofore.

12The Lord recompense thy work, and a full reward be given thee of the Lord God of Israel, under whose wings thou art come to trust.

13Then she said, Let me find favour in thy sight, my lord; for that thou hast comforted me, and for that thou hast spoken friendly unto thine handmaid, though I be not like unto one of thine handmaidens.

14And 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.

15And when she was risen up to glean, Boaz commanded his young men, saying, Let her glean even among the sheaves, and reproach her not:

16And let fall also some of the handfuls of purpose for her, and leave them, that she may glean them, and rebuke her not.

17So she gleaned in the field until even, and beat out that she had gleaned: and it was about an ephah of barley.

18And she took it up, and went into the city: and her mother in law saw what she had gleaned: and she brought forth, and gave to her that she had reserved after she was sufficed.

19And her mother in law said unto her, Where hast thou gleaned to day? and where wroughtest thou? blessed be he that did take knowledge of thee. And she shewed her mother in law with whom she had wrought, and said, The man’s name with whom I wrought to day is Boaz.

20And Naomi said unto her daughter in law, Blessed be he of the Lord, who hath not left off his kindness to the living and to the dead. And Naomi said unto her, The man is near of kin unto us, one of our next kinsmen.

21And Ruth the Moabitess said, He said unto me also, Thou shalt keep fast by my young men, until they have ended all my harvest.

22And Naomi said unto Ruth her daughter in law, It is good, my daughter, that thou go out with his maidens, that they meet thee not in any other field.

23So she kept fast by the maidens of Boaz to glean unto the end of barley harvest and of wheat harvest; and dwelt with her mother in law.
