And a certain man of Beth-lehem-judah went to sojourn in the country of Moab, he, and his wife, and his two sons.1.1 ruled: Heb. judged2 And the name of the man wasElimelech, and the name of his wife Naomi, and the name of his two sons Mahlonand Chilion, Ephrathites of Beth-lehem-judah. And they came into the country of Moab, and continued there.1.2 continued: Heb. were3 And ElimelechNaomi’s husband died; and she was left, and her two sons. 4 And they took them wives of the women of Moab; the name of the one wasOrpah, and the name of the other Ruth: and they dwelled there about ten years. 5 And Mahlonand Chiliondied also both of them; and the woman was left of her two sons and her husband.
6 Then she arose with her daughters in law, that she might return from the country of Moab: for she had heard in the country of Moabhow that the LORDhad visited his people in giving them bread. 7 Wherefore she went forth out of the place where she was, and her two daughters in law with her; and they went on the way to return unto the land of Judah. 8 And Naomisaid unto her two daughters in law, Go, return each to her mother’s house: the LORDdeal kindly with you, as ye have dealt with the dead, and with me. 9 The LORDgrant you that ye may find rest, each of youin the house of her husband. Then she kissed them; and they lifted up their voice, and wept. 10 And they said unto her, Surely we will return with thee unto thy people. 11 And Naomisaid, Turn again, my daughters: why will ye go with me? arethere yet any moresons in my womb, that they may be your husbands? 12 Turn again, my daughters, go your way;for I am too old to have an husband. If I should say, I have hope, ifI should have an husband also to night, and should also bear sons;1.12 should have…: or were with an husband13 Would ye tarry for them till they were grown? would ye stay for them from having husbands? nay, my daughters; for it grieveth me much for your sakes that the hand of the LORDis gone out against me.1.13 tarry: Heb. hope1.13 it grieveth…: Heb. I have much bitterness14 And they lifted up their voice, and wept again: and Orpahkissed her mother in law; but Ruthclave unto her. 15 And she said, Behold, thy sister in law is gone back unto her people, and unto her gods: return thou after thy sister in law. 16 And Ruthsaid, Intreat me not to leave thee, orto return from following after thee: for whither thou goest, I will go; and where thou lodgest, I will lodge: thy people shall bemy people, and thy God my God:1.16 Intreat…: or, Be not against me17 Where thou diest, will I die, and there will I be buried: the LORDdo so to me, and more also, if oughtbut death part thee and me. 18 When she saw that she was stedfastly minded to go with her, then she left speaking unto her.1.18 was…: Heb. strengthened herself
19 So they two went until they came to Beth-lehem. And it came to pass, when they were come to Beth-lehem, that all the city was moved about them, and they said, Isthis Naomi? 20 And she said unto them, Call me not Naomi, call me Mara: for the Almighty hath dealt very bitterly with me.1.20 Naomi: that is, Pleasant1.20 Mara: that is, Bitter21 I went out full, and the LORDhath brought me home again empty: why thencall ye me Naomi, seeing the LORDhath testified against me, and the Almighty hath afflicted me? 22 So Naomireturned, and Ruththe Moabitess, her daughter in law, with her, which returned out of the country of Moab: and they came to Beth-lehemin the beginning of barley harvest.
