English Standard Version
Ruth 1:2-5
2The name of the man was Elimelech and the name of his wife Naomi, and the names of his two sons were Mahlon and Chilion. They were Ephrathites from Bethlehem in Judah. They went into the country of Moab and remained there.
3But Elimelech, the husband of Naomi, died, and she was left with her two sons.
4These took Moabite wives; the name of the one was Orpah and the name of the other Ruth. They lived there about ten years,
5and both Mahlon and Chilion died, so that the woman was left without her two sons and her husband.
