Now it came to pass in the daysH3117 when the judgesH8199 ruledH8199, that there was a famineH7458 in the landH776. And a certain manH376 of BethlehemjudahH1035+H3063 wentH3212 to sojournH1481 in the countryH7704 of MoabH4124, he, and his wifeH802, and his twoH8147 sonsH1121. {ruled: Heb. judged}
And the nameH8034 of the manH376 was ElimelechH458, and the nameH8034 of his wifeH802 NaomiH5281, and the nameH8034 of his twoH8147 sonsH1121 MahlonH4248 and ChilionH3630, EphrathitesH673 of BethlehemjudahH1035+H3063. And they cameH935 into the countryH7704 of MoabH4124, and continued there. {continued: Heb. were}
And ElimelechH458 Naomi'sH5281 husbandH376 diedH4191; and she was leftH7604, and her twoH8147 sonsH1121.
And they tookH5375 them wivesH802 of the womenH802 of MoabH4125; the nameH8034 of the oneH259 was OrpahH6204, and the nameH8034 of the otherH8145 RuthH7327: and they dwelledH3427 there about tenH6235 yearsH8141.
And MahlonH4248 and ChilionH3630 diedH4191 also bothH8147 of them; and the womanH802 was leftH7604 of her twoH8147 sonsH3206 and her husbandH376.
Then she aroseH6965 with her daughters in lawH3618, that she might returnH7725 from the countryH7704 of MoabH4124: for she had heardH8085 in the countryH7704 of MoabH4124 how that the LORDH3068 had visitedH6485 his peopleH5971 in givingH5414 them breadH3899.
Wherefore she went forthH3318 out of the placeH4725 where she was, and her twoH8147 daughters in lawH3618 with her; and they wentH3212 on the wayH1870 to returnH7725 unto the landH776 of JudahH3063.
And NaomiH5281 saidH559 unto her twoH8147 daughters in lawH3618, GoH3212, returnH7725 eachH802 to her mother'sH517 houseH1004: the LORDH3068 dealH6213 kindlyH2617 with you, as ye have dealtH6213 with the deadH4191, and with me.
The LORDH3068 grantH5414 you that ye may findH4672 restH4496, eachH802 of you in the houseH1004 of her husbandH376. Then she kissedH5401 them; and they lifted upH5375 their voiceH6963, and weptH1058.
And they saidH559 unto her, Surely we will returnH7725 with thee unto thy peopleH5971.
And NaomiH5281 saidH559, Turn againH7725, my daughtersH1323: why will ye goH3212 with me? are there yet any more sonsH1121 in my wombH4578, that they may be your husbandsH582?
Turn againH7725, my daughtersH1323, goH3212 your way; for I am too oldH2204 to have an husbandH376. If I should sayH559, I haveH3426 hopeH8615, if I should have an husbandH376 also to nightH3915, and should also bearH3205 sonsH1121; {should have…: or were with an husband}
Would ye tarryH7663 for themH3860 till they were grownH1431? would ye stayH5702 for themH3860 from having husbandsH376? nay, my daughtersH1323; for it grievethH4843 me muchH3966 for your sakes that the handH3027 of the LORDH3068 is gone outH3318 against me. {tarry: Heb. hope} {it grieveth…: Heb. I have much bitterness}
And they lifted upH5375 their voiceH6963, and wept againH1058: and OrpahH6204 kissedH5401 her mother in lawH2545; but RuthH7327 claveH1692 unto her.
And she saidH559, Behold, thy sister in lawH2994 is gone backH7725 unto her peopleH5971, and unto her godsH430: returnH7725 thou afterH310 thy sister in lawH2994.
And RuthH7327 saidH559, IntreatH6293 me not to leaveH5800 thee, or to returnH7725 from following afterH310 thee: for whither thou goestH3212, I will goH3212; and where thou lodgestH3885, I will lodgeH3885: thy peopleH5971 shall be my peopleH5971, and thy GodH430 my GodH430: {Intreat…: or, Be not against me}
Where thou diestH4191, will I dieH4191, and there will I be buriedH6912: the LORDH3068 doH6213 so to me, and moreH3254 also, if ought but deathH4194 partH6504 thee and me.
When she sawH7200 that she was stedfastly mindedH553 to goH3212 with her, then she leftH2308 speakingH1696 unto her. {was…: Heb. strengthened herself}
So they twoH8147 wentH3212 until they cameH935 to BethlehemH1035. And it came to pass, when they were comeH935 to BethlehemH1035, that all the cityH5892 was movedH1949 about them, and they saidH559, Is this NaomiH5281?
And she saidH559 unto them, CallH7121 me not NaomiH5281, callH7121 me MaraH4755: for the AlmightyH7706 hath dealt veryH3966 bitterlyH4843 with me. {Naomi: that is, Pleasant} {Mara: that is, Bitter}
I went outH1980 fullH4392, and the LORDH3068 hath brought me home againH7725 emptyH7387: why then callH7121 ye me NaomiH5281, seeing the LORDH3068 hath testifiedH6030 against me, and the AlmightyH7706 hath afflictedH7489 me?
So NaomiH5281 returnedH7725, and RuthH7327 the MoabitessH4125, her daughter in lawH3618, with her, which returnedH7725 out of the countryH7704 of MoabH4124: and they cameH935 to BethlehemH1035 in the beginningH8462 of barleyH8184 harvestH7105.
