Ruth Chapter 1

1And it cameH1961 to passH1961 in the daysH3117 when the judgesH8199 judgedH8199, that there was a famineH7458 in the landH776. And a certainH376 manH376 of Beth-lehem-judah wentH376 to sojourn in the countryH776 of MoabH4124, he, and his wifeH802, and his twoH8147 sonsH1121. 2And the nameH8034 of the manH376 was ElimelechH458, and the nameH8034 of his wifeH802 NaomiH5281, and the nameH8034 of his twoH8147 sonsH1121 MahlonH4248 and ChilionH3630, EphrathitesH673 of Beth-lehem-judah. And they cameH935 intoH935 the countryH7704 of MoabH4124, and continuedH1961 there. 3And ElimelechH458 Naomi’sH5281 husbandH376 diedH4191; and sheH1931 was leftH7604, and herH5281 twoH8147 sonsH1121. 4And they tookH5375 them wivesH802 of the womenH802 of MoabH4125; the nameH8034 of the one was OrpahH6204, and the nameH8034 of the otherH259 RuthH7327: and they dwelled there aboutH8033 tenH6235 yearsH8141. 5And MahlonH4248 and ChilionH3630 diedH4191 bothH8147 of them; and the womanH802 was leftH7604 of herH802 twoH8147 childrenH3206 and of herH802 husbandH376. 6Then sheH1931 aroseH6965 with herH5414 daughters in law, that sheH1931 might returnH7725 from the countryH7704 of MoabH4124: for sheH1931 had heardH8085 in the countryH7704 of MoabH4124 howH3588 that the LORDH3068 had visitedH6485 his peopleH5971 in givingH5414 them breadH3899. 7And sheH834 wentH3318 forthH3318 outH3318 of the placeH4725 whereH834 sheH834 was, and herH413 twoH8147 daughters in law with herH413; and they wentH3318 on the wayH1870 to returnH7725 unto the landH776 of JudahH3063. 8And NaomiH5281 saidH559 unto herH802 twoH8147 daughters in law, GoH7725, returnH7725 eachH802 of youH834 to herH802 mother’sH517 houseH1004: the LORDH3068 dealH6213 kindly with youH834 as ye have dealt with the deadH4191, and with meH7725. 9The LORDH3068 grantH5414 youH5414 that ye may findH4672 restH4496, eachH376 of youH5414 in the houseH1004 of herH802 husbandH376. Then she kissedH5401 them; and they liftedH5375 upH5375 their voiceH6963, and weptH1058. 10And they saidH559 unto herH7725, Nay, but weH3588 will returnH7725 with thee unto thy peopleH5971. 11And NaomiH5281 saidH559, TurnH7725 againH5750, my daughtersH1323: whyH4100 will ye goH7725 with meH7725? have I yet sonsH1121 in my wombH4578, that they may be your husbandsH376? 12TurnH7725 againH7725, my daughtersH1323, goH7725 your way; for I am tooH1571 oldH1121 to have an husbandH376. IfH3588 I should sayH559, I have hopeH8615, ifH3588 I should evenH1571 have an husbandH376 to-night, and should also bearH3205 sonsH1121; 13would ye therefore tarry tillH5704 they were grownH1431? would ye therefore stay from havingH1961 husbandsH376? nay, my daughtersH1323; for it grieveth meH4480 muchH3027 for your sakes, for the handH3027 of the LORDH3068 is goneH3318 forthH3318 againstH4480 meH4480. 14And they liftedH5375 upH5375 their voiceH6963, and weptH1058 againH5750: and OrpahH6204 kissedH5401 herH5375 mother in law; but RuthH7327 clave unto herH5375. 15And sheH310 saidH559, BeholdH2009, thy sister in law is goneH7725 backH7725 unto herH413 peopleH5971, and unto herH413 godH430: returnH7725 thou afterH310 thy sister in law. 16And RuthH7327 saidH559, EntreatH6293 meH413 notH408 to leaveH5800 thee, and to returnH7725 from followingH310 afterH310 thee: for whither thou goest, I will goH7725; and whereH834 thou lodgest, I will lodge: thy peopleH5971 shall be my peopleH5971, and thy GodH430 my GodH430: 17whereH834 thou diest, will I dieH4191, and there will I be buriedH6912: the LORDH3068 doH6213 soH6213 to meH3254, and moreH3254 also, ifH3588 aught but deathH4191 part thee and meH3254. 18And when sheH1931 sawH7200 that sheH1931 was stedfastly minded to go with herH413, sheH1931 left speakingH1696 unto herH413. 19SoH1961 they twoH8147 wentH935 untilH5704 they cameH935 to Beth-lehem. And it cameH935 to passH935, when they were comeH935 to Beth-lehem, that allH3605 the cityH5892 was movedH935 aboutH1961 them, and the women saidH559, Is this NaomiH5281? 20And sheH3588 saidH559 unto them, CallH7121 meH413 notH408 NaomiH5281, callH7121 meH413 MaraH4755: for the AlmightyH7706 hath dealtH4843 veryH3966 bitterlyH4843 with meH413. 21I wentH1980 outH4100 fullH4392, and the LORDH3068 hath broughtH7725 meH7725 homeH7725 againH7725 emptyH7387: whyH4100 callH7121 ye meH7725 NaomiH5281, seeing the LORDH3068 hath testified against meH7725, and the AlmightyH7706 hath afflicted meH7725? 22SoH935 NaomiH5281 returnedH7725, and RuthH7327 the MoabitessH4125, herH935 daughter in law, with herH935, which returnedH7725 outH935 of the countryH7704 of MoabH4124: and they cameH935 to Beth-lehem in the beginningH8462 of barleyH8184 harvestH7105.
