Following are a number of back-translations of Ruth 3:11-13:

• Noongar: “Now, my daughter, do not fear. I will do everything you want, because all my people of this place, they know you are a good woman. But now, truly, I am your right-way man, but one man sits closer than me. Sleep in this place tonight and tomorrow, if he will stand to become your right-way man, yes, good, but if he won’t stand to become your right-way man, in the name of God, I will do this thing. Sleep here until tomorrow.’” (Source: Bardip Ruth-Ang 2020)
• Eastern Bru: “So now, young woman, don’t be afraid. Surely I will do what you have asked. Every one in my town knows that you are a good person. And you say truly that I am of your clan and a close relative. But there is a person who is of your clan and closer than I. Now you wait this night. In the morning the person who is closer than I can take away your misfortune. If he wants to he can do it. It’s up to him. But if he does not want to take away your misfortune, surely I myself will become your husband. I swear before God that I will do that. Now you go back to sleep this night and wait until morning.’” (Source: Bru Back Translation)
• Hiligaynon: “Therefore do- not -worry day [Note: this is a very common nickname], for I will-do all what you(sg) have-asked-for. Because all my fellow-countrymen knew that you(sg) are a good/noble woman. It is true that I am your(sg) close relative, who has a responsibility to take-care-of you(sg), but there-is still a man who is more closely related to you(sg) than I am. You(sg) stay/remain here for the whole night, and tomorrow morning let us(incl) see if he will-accept his responsibility on you(sg). If he agrees, then good; but if in-fact/actually not (willing), I swear to the living LORD that I will-accept my responsibility to you(sg). Okay, you(sg) just sleep here until morning.'” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
• English: “Now, young lady, I will do everything you ask. Don’t worry that people in this town might think I am doing wrong by marrying you because you are a woman from Moab. All the people in this town know that you are an honorable woman. But there is one problem. Although it is true that I am a close relative of your mother-in-law’s dead husband, there is another man who is a closer relative than I am, and therefore he should be the one to marry you and take care of you. You stay here for the rest of this night. Tomorrow morning I will tell this man about you. If he says that he will marry you and take care of you, fine, we will let him do that. But if he is not willing to do that, I solemnly promise that as surely as Yahweh lives, I will marry you and take care of you. So lie/sleep here until it is morning.’” (Source: Translation for Translators)

Following are a number of back-translations of Ruth 3:14-15:

• Noongar: “So Ruth lay beside Boaz’ feet until sunrise. Ruth got up before people could see her. Boaz said to her, ‘People must not know you came to this place.’ Then Boaz said, ‘Give me your shawl.’ Ruth gave him her shawl. Boaz poured six dishes of wheat into the shawl, and lifted the wheat onto Ruth’s back. Then Boaz went home to Bethlehem.” (Source: Bardip Ruth-Ang 2020)
• Eastern Bru: “Then Ruth slept near to Boaz’s feet until morning. She rose very early while it was still dark, before anyone could recognize anyone. And Boaz told Ruth: ‘Don’t let anyone know you have come to my rice floor here.’ And Boaz said: ‘You take the cloth you are wearing and bring it here.’ When Ruth brought the cloth, Boaz measured into it six measures of grain and helped her put it on her shoulder. After that Ruth took the grain and went back to the town.” (Source: Bru Back Translation)
• Hiligaynon: “So Ruth slept at the feet-side of Boaz until morning, but (while it was) still a-bit-dark Ruth got-up so-that she would- not -be-recognized, because Boaz does- not -want that someone-will-know that Ruth came to him there at the place-of-threshing. Boaz said to Ruth, ‘Bring here to me the cloak-for-the-back/cape you(sg) are-wearing and spread-it-out.’ Ruth spread- it -out, and then Boaz poured-into-it about six kilos of barley and had- Ruth -carry-(it)-on-(her)-shoulder. And Ruth returned to town.'” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
• English: “So she lay at his feet until morning. But she got up and left before it was light enough that people would be able to recognize her, because Boaz said, ‘I do not want anyone to know that a woman was here.’ He also said to her, ‘Bring to me your cloak and spread it out.’ When she did that, he poured into it six measures/24 liters/50 pounds of barley, and put in on her back. Then he (OR, she) went back to the town.” (Source: Translation for Translators)

Following are a number of back-translations of Ruth 2:10-2:13:

• Noongar: “So Ruth fell on her face and said to him, ‘What good did I do that you saw me and are merciful to me? I am a stranger.’ But Boaz replied, ‘Many people have told me everything you have done for your mother-in-law after your husband died. You left your father and mother and your heart land and came here, to a people you don’t know. May God bless you. May the God of Israel give you everything good because you come to shelter under his wings.’ Then Ruth said, ‘My lord, may I always be good in your eyes. I am not your worker, I am not like your young women, but you are good to me and speak gently to me.’” (Source: Bardip Ruth-Ang 2020)
• Eastern Bru: “After Boaz said this, then Ruth bent down and bowed her knees in front for Boaz. And Ruth said: ‘You don’t have any responsibility toward me, so why should help me like this. I am a person from another country, so why do you still help me very much.’ But Boaz answered her: ‘I have heard already the good things you have done for your mother-in-law from the time that your husband died. And I know that you left your mother and father and the country of your birth. So you came to live with other people, people you did not know. All of these good thing you did, I ask God to give you every blessing. This God is the God of Israel. And you have believed him also. So now it is as though you were under the wing of God.’After that Ruth answered: ‘O sir! Please let me be favored in your sight. You have comforted my heart. And you have spoken well toward me as though I were one of your own servants. Even though I am not one of you servants.’” (Source: Bru Back Translation)
• Hiligaynon: “Ruth knelt to Boaz as (a) respect and said, ‘Why are you(sg) so very kind to me wherein I am actually/as-a-matter-of-fact just a foreigner?’ Boaz replied, ‘Someone(s) has told me (about) all that you(sg) have-done for your(sg) mother-in-law since the death of your(sg) husband, how you(sg) left your(sg) father and mother and the place where you(sg) were born in-order to live with the people whom you(sg) did- not -know. So may the LORD repay you(sg) for what you(sg) have-done. May you(sg) receive a big reward from the LORD, the God of Israel, whom you(sg) seek-refuge.’ Ruth said, ‘You(sg) are very kind/nice to me, sir, for you(sg) pleased me and have-spoken kindly even-though I am not one of your(sg) servants.’” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
• English: “When he said that, she knelt down in front of him in respect, with her face touching the ground. She exclaimed, ‘Why are you acting so kindly toward me, by paying attention to me? I am not even a Jew; I am a foreigner!’ Boaz replied, ‘People have told me all about what you have done for your mother-in-law. They told me that you left your parents and your homeland, and you came here to live among people whom you did not know before. I hope/desire that Yahweh will repay you for what you have done. You have put yourself in the care of Yahweh, like a little bird puts itself under its mother’s wings. I desire that he will reward you very greatly.’ She replied, ‘Sir, I hope you will continue to act kindly toward me. You have comforted/encouraged me, even though I am lower in status than any of your servant girls.’” (Source: Translation for Translators)
