The Booke of
Ruth
Nowe
it
came
to
passe
in
the
dayes
when
ye
Iudges
ruled,
that
there
was
a
famine
in
the
land:
and
a
certaine
man
of
Bethlehem
Iudah,
went
to
soiourne
in
the
countrey
of
Moab,
he,
and
his
wife,
and
his
two
sonnes.
2
And
the
name
of
the
man
was
Elimelech,
and
the
name
of
his
wife,
Naomi,
and
the
name
of
his
two
sonnes,
Mahlon,
and
Chilion,
Ephrathites
of
Bethlehem
Iudah:
and
they
came
into
the
countrey
of
Moab,
and
continued
there.
3
And
Elimelech
Naomies
husband
died,
and
shee
was
left,
and
her
two
sonnes;
4
And
they
tooke
them
wiues
of
the
women
of
Moab:
the
name
of
the
one
was
Orpah,
and
the
name
of
the
other
Ruth:
and
they
dwelled
there
about
ten
yeeres.
5
And
Mahlon
and
Chilion
died
also
both
of
them,
and
the
woman
was
left
of
her
two
sonnes,
and
her
husband.
6
Then
shee
arose
with
her
daughters
in
law,
that
shee
might
returne
from
the
countrey
of
Moab:
for
shee
had
heard
in
the
countrey
of
Moab,
how
that
the
Lord
had
visited
his
people,
in
giuing
them
bread.
7
Wherefore
she
went
foorth
out
of
the
place
where
she
was,
and
her
two
daughters
in
law
with
her:
and
they
went
on
the
way
to
returne
vnto
the
land
of
Iudah.
8
Aud
Naomi
said
vnto
her
two
daughters
in
law,
Goe,
returne
each
to
her
mothers
house:
the
Lord
deale
kindly
with
you,
as
ye
haue
dealt
with
the
dead,
and
with
me.
9
The
Lord
graunt
you,
that
you
may
finde
rest
each
of
you
in
the
house
of
her
husband.
Then
she
kissed
them,
and
they
lift
vp
their
voyce
and
wept.
10
And
they
said
vnto
her,
Surely
wee
will
returne
with
thee,
vnto
thy
people.
11
And
Naomi
said,
Turne
againe,
my
daughters:
why
will
you
goe
with
mee?
Are
there
yet
any
moe
sonnes
in
my
wombe,
that
they
may
be
your
husbands?
12
Turne
againe,
my
daughters,
go
your
way,
for
I
am
too
old
to
haue
an
husband:
if
I
should
say,
I
haue
hope,
if
I
should
haue
a
husband
also
to
night,
and
should
also
beare
sonnes:
13
Would
ye
tary
for
them
till
they
were
growen?
would
ye
stay
for
them
from
hauing
husbands?
nay
my
daughters:
for
it
grieueth
me
much
for
your
sakes,
that
the
hand
of
the
Lord
is
gone
out
against
me.
14
And
they
lift
vp
their
voyce,
and
wept
againe:
and
Orpah
kissed
her
mother
in
law,
but
Ruth
claue
vnto
her.
15
And
she
said,
Behold,
thy
sister
in
law
is
gone
backe
vnto
her
people,
and
vnto
her
gods:
returne
thou
after
thy
sister
in
law.
16
And
Ruth
said,
Intreate
mee
not
to
leaue
thee,
or
to
returne
from
following
after
thee:
for
whither
thou
goest,
I
will
goe;
and
where
thou
lodgest,
I
will
lodge:
thy
people
shall
be
my
people,
and
thy
God
my
God:
17
Where
thou
diest,
wil
I
die,
and
there
will
I
bee
buried:
the
Lord
doe
so
to
me,
and
more
also,
if
ought
but
death
part
thee
and
me.
18
When
shee
sawe
that
shee
was
stedfastly
minded
to
goe
with
her,
then
shee
left
speaking
vnto
her.
19
So
they
two
went
vntill
they
came
to
Bethlehem:
And
it
came
to
passe
when
they
were
come
to
Bethlehem,
that
all
the
citie
was
mooued
about
them,
and
they
said,
Is
this
Naomi?
20
And
she
said
vnto
them,
Call
me
not
Naomi;
call
mee
Mara:
for
the
Almightie
hath
dealt
very
bitterly
with
me.
21
I
went
out
full,
and
the
Lord
hath
bought
me
home
againe
emptie:
Why
then
call
ye
me
Naomi,
seeing
the
Lord
hath
testified
against
me,
and
the
Almighty
hath
afflicted
me?
22
So
Naomi
returned,
and
Ruth
the
Moabitesse
her
daughter
in
law
with
her,
which
returned
out
of
the
countrey
of
Moab:
and
they
came
to
Bethlehem,
in
the
beginning
of
barley
haruest.
