And a certain man0376 of Bethlehemjudah1035-3063 went3212 to sojourn1481 in the country7704 of Moab4124, he, and his wife0802, and his two8147 sons1121. 1:2 And the name8034 of the man0376 {was} Elimelech0458, and the name8034 of his wife0802 Naomi5281, and the name8034 of his two8147 sons1121 Mahlon4248 and Chilion3630, Ephrathites0673 of Bethlehemjudah1035-3063. And they came0935 into the country7704 of Moab4124, and continued there. 1:3 And Elimelech0458 Naomi's5281 husband0376 died4191; and she was left7604, and her two8147 sons1121. 1:4 And they took5375 them wives0802 of the women0802 of Moab4125; the name8034 of the one0259 {was} Orpah6204, and the name8034 of the other8145 Ruth7327: and they dwelled3427 there about ten6235 years8141. 1:5 And Mahlon4248 and Chilion3630 died4191 also both8147 of them; and the woman0802 was left7604 of her two8147 sons3206 and her husband0376. 1:6 Then she arose6965 with her daughters in law3618, that she might return7725 from the country7704 of Moab4124: for she had heard8085 in the country7704 of Moab4124 how that the LORD3068 had visited6485 his people5971 in giving5414 them bread3899. 1:7 Wherefore she went forth3318 out of the place4725 where she was, and her two8147 daughters in law3618 with her; and they went3212 on the way1870 to return7725 unto the land0776 of Judah3063. 1:8 And Naomi5281 said0559 unto her two8147 daughters in law3618, Go3212, return7725 each0802 to her mother's0517 house1004: the LORD3068 deal6213 kindly2617 with you, as ye have dealt6213 with the dead4191, and with me. 1:9 The LORD3068 grant5414 you that ye may find4672 rest4496, each0802 {of you} in the house1004 of her husband0376. Then she kissed5401 them; and they lifted up5375 their voice6963, and wept1058. 1:10 And they said0559 unto her, Surely we will return7725 with thee unto thy people5971. 1:11 And Naomi5281 said0559, Turn again7725, my daughters1323: why will ye go3212 with me? {are} there yet {any more} sons1121 in my womb4578, that they may be your husbands0582? 1:12 Turn again7725, my daughters1323, go3212 {your way}; for I am too old2204 to have an husband0376. If I should say0559, I have3426 hope8615, {if} I should have an husband0376 also to night3915, and should also bear3205 sons1121; 1:13 Would ye tarry7663 for them3860 till they were grown1431? would ye stay5702 for them3860 from having husbands0376? nay, my daughters1323; for it grieveth4843 me much3966 for your sakes that the hand3027 of the LORD3068 is gone out3318 against me. 1:14 And they lifted up5375 their voice6963, and wept again1058: and Orpah6204 kissed5401 her mother in law2545; but Ruth7327 clave1692 unto her. 1:15 And she said0559, Behold, thy sister in law2994 is gone back7725 unto her people5971, and unto her gods0430: return7725 thou after0310 thy sister in law2994. 1:16 And Ruth7327 said0559, Intreat6293 me not to leave5800 thee, {or} to return7725 from following after0310 thee: for whither thou goest3212, I will go3212; and where thou lodgest3885, I will lodge3885: thy people5971 {shall be} my people5971, and thy God0430 my God0430: 1:17 Where thou diest4191, will I die4191, and there will I be buried6912: the LORD3068 do6213 so to me, and more3254 also, {if ought} but death4194 part6504 thee and me. 1:18 When she saw7200 that she was stedfastly minded0553 to go3212 with her, then she left2308 speaking1696 unto her. 1:19 So they two8147 went3212 until they came0935 to Bethlehem1035. And it came to pass, when they were come0935 to Bethlehem1035, that all the city5892 was moved1949 about them, and they said0559, {Is} this Naomi5281? 1:20 And she said0559 unto them, Call7121 me not Naomi5281, call7121 me Mara4755: for the Almighty7706 hath dealt very3966 bitterly4843 with me. 1:21 I went out1980 full4392, and the LORD3068 hath brought me home again7725 empty7387: why {then} call7121 ye me Naomi5281, seeing the LORD3068 hath testified6030 against me, and the Almighty7706 hath afflicted7489 me? 1:22 So Naomi5281 returned7725, and Ruth7327 the Moabitess4125, her daughter in law3618, with her, which returned7725 out of the country7704 of Moab4124: and they came0935 to Bethlehem1035 in the beginning8462 of barley8184 harvest7105.
