Pardon:
I am unaware of a complete translation, but the section on the book
of Ruth has been ably translated by Leslie Smith in her _Commentaries
on the Book of Ruth_ (TEAMS commentary series. Kalamazoo, 1996), pp.
37-39. It is a small excerpt, but for those of us who teach medieval
exegesis at the undergrad level, we are eternally grateful.
Cheers
Jim
