|
| And it came to pass when the judges ruled, that there was a famine in the land: and a man went from Bethleem Juda to sojourn in the land of Moab, he, and his wife, and his two sons. | |
|
2
|
|
| And the man's name was Elimelech, and his wife's name Noemin, and the names of his two sons Maalon and Chelaion, Ephrathites of Bethleem of Juda: and they came to the land of Moab, and remained there. | |
|
3
|
|
| And Elimelech the husband of Noemin died; and she was left, and her two sons. | |
|
4
|
|
| And they took to themselves wives, women of Moab; the name of the one was Orpha, and the name of the second Ruth; and they dwelt there about ten years. | |
|
5
|
|
| And both Maalon and Chelaion died also; and the woman was left of her husband and her two sons. | |
|
6
|
|
| And she rose up and her two daughters-in-law, and they returned out of the country of Moab, for she heard in the country of Moab that the Lord had visited his people to give them bread. | |
|
7
|
|
| And she went forth out of the place where she was, and her two daughters-in-law with her: and they went by the way to return to the land of Juda. | |
|
8
|
|
| And Noemin said to her daughters-in-law, Go now, return each to the house of her mother: the Lord deal mercifully with you, as ye have dealt with the dead, and with me. | |
|
9
|
|
| The Lord grant you that ye may find rest each of you in the house of her husband: and she kissed them; and they lifted up their voice, and wept. | |
|
10
|
|
| And they said to her, We will return with thee to thy people. | |
|
11
|
|
| And Noemin said, Return now, my daughters; and why do ye go with me? have I yet sons in my womb to be your husbands? | |
|
12
|
|
| Turn now, my daughters, for I am too old to be married: for I said, Suppose I were married, and should bear sons; | |
|
13
|
|
| would ye wait for them till they should be grown? or would ye refrain from being married for their sakes? Not so, my daughters; for I am grieved for you, that the hand of the Lord has gone forth against me. | |
|
14
|
|
| And they lifted up their voice, and wept again; and Orpha kissed her mother-in-law and returned to her people; but Ruth followed her. | |
|
15
|
|
| And Noemin said to Ruth, Behold, thy sister-in-law has returned to her people and to her gods; turn now thou also after thy sister-in-law. | |
|
16
|
|
| And Ruth said, Intreat me not to leave thee, or to return from following thee; for whithersoever thou goest, I will go, and wheresoever thou lodgest, I will lodge; thy people shall be my people, and thy God my God. | |
|
17
|
|
| And wherever thou diest, I will die, and there will I be buried: the Lord do so to me, and more also, if I leave thee, for death only shall divide between me and thee. | |
|
18
|
|
| And Noemin seeing that she was determined to go with her, ceased to speak to her any more. | |
|
19
|
|
| And they went both of them until they came to Bethleem: and it came to pass, when they arrived at Bethleem, that all the city rang with them, and they said, Is this Noemin? | |
|
20
|
|
| And she said to them, Nay, do not call me Noemin; call me ‘Bitter,’ for the Mighty One has dealt very bitterly with me. | |
|
21
|
|
| I went out full, and the Lord has brought me back empty: and why call ye me Noemin, whereas the Lord has humbled me, and the Mighty One has afflicted me? | |
|
22
|
|
| So Noemin and Ruth the Moabitess, her daughter-in-law, returned from the country of Moab; and they came to Bethleem in the beginning of barley harvest. |
