Ruth 1:4-22

1:4

And they took
<05375> (8799)

them wives
<0802>

of the women
<0802>

of Moab
<04125>_;

the name
<08034>

of the one
<0259>

[was] Orpah
<06204>_,

and the name
<08034>

of the other
<08145>

Ruth
<07327>_:

and they dwelled
<03427> (8799)

there about ten
<06235>

years
<08141>_.

1:5

And Mahlon
<04248>

and Chilion
<03630>

died
<04191> (8799)

also both
<08147>

of them; and the woman
<0802>

was left
<07604> (8735)

of her two
<08147>

sons
<03206>

and her husband
<0376>_.

1:6

Then she arose
<06965> (8799)

with her daughters in law
<03618>_,

that she might return
<07725> (8799)

from the country
<07704>

of Moab
<04124>_:

for she had heard
<08085> (8804)

in the country
<07704>

of Moab
<04124>

how that the LORD
<03068>

had visited
<06485> (8804)

his people
<05971>

in giving
<05414> (8800)

them bread
<03899>_.

1:7

Wherefore she went forth
<03318> (8799)

out of the place
<04725>

where she was, and her two
<08147>

daughters in law
<03618>

with her; and they went
<03212> (8799)

on the way
<01870>

to return
<07725> (8800)

unto the land
<0776>

of Judah
<03063>_.

1:8

And Naomi
<05281>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto her two
<08147>

daughters in law
<03618>_,

Go
<03212> (8798)_,

return
<07725> (8798)

each
<0802>

to her mother's
<0517>

house
<01004>_:

the LORD
<03068>

deal
<06213> (8799)

kindly
<02617>

with you, as ye have dealt
<06213> (8804)

with the dead
<04191> (8801)_,

and with me.

1:9

The LORD
<03068>

grant
<05414> (8799)

you that ye may find
<04672> (8798)

rest
<04496>_,

each
<0802>

[of you] in the house
<01004>

of her husband
<0376>_.

Then she kissed
<05401> (8799)

them; and they lifted up
<05375> (8799)

their voice
<06963>_,

and wept
<01058> (8799)_.

1:10

And they said
<0559> (8799)

unto her, Surely we will return
<07725> (8799)

with thee unto thy people
<05971>_.

1:11

And Naomi
<05281>

said
<0559> (8799)_,

Turn again
<07725> (8798)_,

my daughters
<01323>_:

why will ye go
<03212> (8799)

with me? [are] there yet [any more] sons
<01121>

in my womb
<04578>_,

that they may be your husbands
<0582>_?

1:12

Turn again
<07725> (8798)_,

my daughters
<01323>_,

go
<03212> (8798)

[your way]; for I am too old
<02204> (8804)

to have an husband
<0376>_.

If I should say
<0559> (8804)_,

I have
<03426>

hope
<08615>_,

[if] I should have an husband
<0376>

also to night
<03915>_,

and should also bear
<03205> (8804)

sons
<01121>_;

{should have...: or were with an husband}

1:13

Would ye tarry
<07663> (8762)

for them
<03860>

till they were grown
<01431> (8799)_?

would ye stay
<05702> (8735)

for them
<03860>

from having husbands
<0376>_?

nay, my daughters
<01323>_;

for it grieveth
<04843> (8804)

me much
<03966>

for your sakes that the hand
<03027>

of the LORD
<03068>

is gone out
<03318> (8804)

against me. {tarry: Heb. hope} {it grieveth...: Heb. I have much bitterness}

1:14

And they lifted up
<05375> (8799)

their voice
<06963>_,

and wept again
<01058> (8799)_:

and Orpah
<06204>

kissed
<05401> (8799)

her mother in law
<02545>_;

but Ruth
<07327>

clave
<01692> (8804)

unto her.

1:15

And she said
<0559> (8799)_,

Behold, thy sister in law
<02994>

is gone back
<07725> (8804)

unto her people
<05971>_,

and unto her gods
<0430>_:

return
<07725> (8798)

thou after
<0310>

thy sister in law
<02994>_.

1:16

And Ruth
<07327>

said
<0559> (8799)_,

Intreat
<06293> (8799)

me not to leave
<05800> (8800)

thee, [or] to return
<07725> (8800)

from following after
<0310>

thee: for whither thou goest
<03212> (8799)_,

I will go
<03212> (8799)_;

and where thou lodgest
<03885> (8799)_,

I will lodge
<03885> (8799)_:

thy people
<05971>

[shall be] my people
<05971>_,

and thy God
<0430>

my God
<0430>_:

{Intreat...: or, Be not against me}

1:17

Where thou diest
<04191> (8799)_,

will I die
<04191> (8799)_,

and there will I be buried
<06912> (8735)_:

the LORD
<03068>

do
<06213> (8799)

so to me, and more
<03254> (8686)

also, [if ought] but death
<04194>

part
<06504> (8686)

thee and me.

1:18

When she saw
<07200> (8799)

that she was stedfastly minded
<0553> (8693)

to go
<03212> (8800)

with her, then she left
<02308> (8799)

speaking
<01696> (8763)

unto her. {was...: Heb. strengthened herself}

1:19

So they two
<08147>

went
<03212> (8799)

until they came
<0935> (8800)

to Bethlehem
<01035>_.

And it came to pass, when they were come
<0935> (8800)

to Bethlehem
<01035>_,

that all the city
<05892>

was moved
<01949> (8735)

about them, and they said
<0559> (8799)_,

[Is] this Naomi
<05281>_?

1:20

And she said
<0559> (8799)

unto them, Call
<07121> (8799)

me not Naomi
<05281>_,

call
<07121> (8798)

me Mara
<04755>_:

for the Almighty
<07706>

hath dealt very
<03966>

bitterly
<04843> (8689)

with me. {Naomi: that is, Pleasant} {Mara: that is, Bitter}

1:21

I went out
<01980> (8804)

full
<04392>_,

and the LORD
<03068>

hath brought me home again
<07725> (8689)

empty
<07387>_:

why [then] call
<07121> (8799)

ye me Naomi
<05281>_,

seeing the LORD
<03068>

hath testified
<06030> (8804)

against me, and the Almighty
<07706>

hath afflicted
<07489> (8689)

me?

1:22

So Naomi
<05281>

returned
<07725> (8799)_,

and Ruth
<07327>

the Moabitess
<04125>_,

her daughter in law
<03618>_,

with her, which returned
<07725> (8804)

out of the country
<07704>

of Moab
<04124>_:

and they came
<0935> (8804)

to Bethlehem
<01035>

in the beginning
<08462>

of barley
<08184>

harvest
<07105>_.
