RUTH 2:4




Ruth 2:4

 וְהִנֵּה־בֹעַז בָּא מִבֵּית לֶחֶם וַיֹּאמֶר לַקּוֹצְרִים יְהוָה עִמָּכֶם וַיֹּאמְרוּ לוֹ יְבָרֶכְךָ יְהוָה׃

Now behold, Boaz came from Bethlehem and said to the reapers, “May the LORD be with you. ( יְהוָה עִמָּכֶם)” And they said to him, “May the LORD bless you (יְבָרֶכְךָ יְהוָה)


יְהוָה עִמָּכֶם 


יְהוָה is often pronounced as Adonai ....
עִמָּ 'im is translated as 'with'
כֶם -kem is the suffix you use when you are referring to a second person plural 

יְבָרֶכְךָ יְהוָה

יְבָרֶכְךָ  ye-be-re-ke-kha  literally means 'you be blessed' (or May you be blessed). It comes from the root word 'barukh' (beth-resh-kaf) which means blessed. This is the Aaronic Blessing in Numbers 6:24-26.

יְהוָה God's name is often read as Adonai.
