RU-1:1 Now it came to pass in the days when the judges ruled,
that there was
a famine in the land. And a certain man of Bethlehemjudah went
to sojourn in
the country of Moab, he, and his wife, and his two sons.
RU-1:2 And the name of the man [was] Elimelech, and the name of
his wife
Naomi, and the name of his two sons Mahlon and Chilion,
Ephrathites of
Bethlehemjudah. And they came into the country of Moab, and
continued there.
RU-1:3 And Elimelech Naomi's husband died; and she was left,
and her two
sons.
RU-1:4 And they took them wives of the women of Moab; the name
of the one
[was] Orpah, and the name of the other Ruth: and they dwelled
there about ten
years.
RU-1:5 And Mahlon and Chilion died also both of them; and the
woman was left
of her two sons and her husband.
RU-1:6 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 Moab
how that the
Lord had visited his people in giving them bread.
RU-1:7 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.
RU-1:8 And Naomi said unto her two daughters in law, Go, return
each to her
mother's house: the LORD deal kindly with you, as ye have dealt
with the dead,
and with me.
RU-1:9 The LORD grant you that ye may find rest, each [of you]
in the house
of her husband. Then she kissed them; and they lifted up their
voice, and
wept.
RU-1:10 And they said unto her, Surely we will return with thee
unto thy
people.
RU-1:11 And Naomi said, Turn again, my daughters: why will ye
go with me?
[are] there yet [any more] sons in my womb, that they may be
your husbands?
RU-1:12 Turn again, my daughters, go [your way]; for I am too
old to have an
husband. If I should say, I have hope, [if] I should have an
husband also to
night, and should also bear sons;
RU-1:13 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 LORD is gone out against me.
RU-1:14 And they lifted up their voice, and wept again: and
Orpah kissed her
mother in law; but Ruth clave unto her.
RU-1:15 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.
RU-1:16 And Ruth said, Entreat me not to leave thee, [or] to
return from
following after thee: for whither thou goest, I will go; and
where thou
lodgest, I will lodge: thy people [shall be] my people, and thy
God my God:
RU-1:17 Where thou diest, will I die, and there will I be
buried: the LORD do
so to me, and more also, [if ought] but death part thee and me.
RU-1:18 When she saw that she was stedfastly minded to go with
her, then she
left speaking unto her.
RU-1:19 So they two went until they came to Bethlehem. And it
