La Libro Ruth is an Esperanto translation of the biblical Book of Ruth. It tells the story of a Moabite woman named Ruth who, after the death of her husband, remains loyal to her widowed mother-in-law, Naomi. Together, they return to Naomi's homeland, Israel.
Ruth, facing poverty and uncertainty, marries Boaz, a wealthy landowner, who is a relative of Naomi. Their marriage leads to the birth of Obed, who becomes the grandfather of King David, as outlined in the biblical genealogy.
The book of Ruth is often praised for its portrayal of loyalty, compassion, and redemption. It is a short but powerful story that has been interpreted in various ways over the centuries. The Esperanto translation allows readers who are familiar with the language to experience this classic biblical tale in a new way.
