H3117
It happened in the days
H8199
when the judges
H8199
judged,
H7458
that there was a famine
H776
in the land.
H376
A certain man
H1035
of Bethlehem Judah
H3212
went
H1481
to live
H7704
in the country
H4124
of Moab,
H802
he, and his wife,
H8147
and his two
H1121
sons.
2
H8034
The name
H376
of the man
H458
was Elimelech,
H8034
and the name
H802
of his wife
H5281
Naomi,
H8034
and the name
H8147
of his two
H1121
sons
H4248
Mahlon
H3630
and Chilion,
H673
Ephrathites
H1035
of Bethlehem Judah.
H935
They came
H7704
into the country
H4124
of Moab, and continued there.
3
H458
Elimelech,
H5281
Naomi's
H376
husband,
H4191
died;
H7604
and she was left,
H8147
and her two
H1121
sons.
4
H5375
They took
H802
them wives
H802
of the women
H4125
of Moab;
H8034
the name
H259
of the one
H6204
was Orpah,
H8034
and the name
H8145
of the other
H7327
Ruth:
H3427
and they lived
H6235
there about ten
H8141
years.
5
H4248
Mahlon
H3630
and Chilion
H8147
both
H4191
died,
H802
and the woman
H7604
was bereaved
H8147
of her two
H3206
children
H376
and of her husband.
6
H6965
Then she arose
H3618
with her daughters-in-law,
H7725
that she might return
H7704
from the country
H4124
of Moab:
H8085
for she had heard
H7704
in the country
H4124
of Moab
H3068
how that Yahweh
H6485
had visited
H5971
his people
H5414
in giving
H3899
them bread.
7
H3318
She went forth
H4725
out of the place
H8147
where she was, and her two
H3618
daughters-in-law
H3212
with her; and they went
H1870
on the way
H7725
to return
H776
to the land
H3063
of Judah.
8
H5281
Naomi
H559
said
H8147
to her two
H3618
daughters-in-law,
H3212
"Go,
H7725
return
H802
each
H517
of you to her mother's
H1004
house:
H3068
Yahweh
H6213
deal
H2617
kindly
H6213
with you, as you have dealt
H4191
with the dead, and with me.
9
H3068
Yahweh
H5414
grant
H4672
you that you may find
H4496
rest,
H802
each
H1004
of you in the house
H376
of her husband."
H5401
Then she kissed
H5375
them, and they lifted up
H6963
their voice,
H1058
and wept.
11
H5281
Naomi
H559
said,
H7725
"Go back,
H1323
my daughters.
H3212
Why do you want to go
H1121
with me? Do I still have sons
H4578
in my womb,
H582
that they may be your husbands?
12
H7725
Go back,
H1323
my daughters,
H3212
go
H2204
your way; for I am too old
H376
to have a husband.
H559
If I should say,
H3426
‘I have
H8615
hope,'
H376
if I should even have a husband
H3915
tonight,
H3205
and should also bear
H1121
sons;
13
H7663
would you then wait
H3860
until they
H1431
were grown?
H5702
Would you then refrain
H3860
from
H376
having husbands?
H1323
No, my daughters,
H4843
for it grieves
H3966
me much
H3027
for your sakes, for the hand
H3068
of Yahweh
H3318
has gone out against me."
14
H5375
They lifted up
H6963
their voice,
H1058
and wept again:
H6204
and Orpah
H5401
kissed
H2545
her mother-in-law,
H1692
but Ruth joined with her.
15
H559
She said,
H2994
"Behold, your sister-in-law
H7725
has gone back
H5971
to her people,
H430
and to her god.
H7725
Follow
H310
your
H2994
sister-in-law."
16
H559
Ruth said,
H6293
"Don't entreat
H5800
me to leave
H7725
you, and to return
H310
from following after
H3212
you, for where you go,
H3212
I will go;
H3885
and where you lodge,
H3885
I will lodge;
H5971
your people
H5971
shall be my people,
H430
and your God
H430
my God;
17
H4191
where you die,
H4191
will I die,
H6912
and there will I be buried.
H3068
Yahweh
H6213
do
H3254
so to me, and more
H4194
also, if anything but death
H6504
part you and me."
18
H7200
When she saw
H553
that she was steadfastly minded
H3212
to go
H2308
with her, she left
H1696
off speaking to her.
19
H8147
So they two
H3212
went
H935
until they came
H1035
to Bethlehem.
H935
It happened, when they had come
H1035
to Bethlehem,
H5892
that all the city
H1949
was moved
H559
about them, and they asked,
H5281
"Is this Naomi?"
20
H559
She said
H7121
to them, "Don't call
H5281
me Naomi.
H7121
Call
H4755
me Mara;
H7706
for the Almighty
H3966
has dealt very
H4843
bitterly with me.
