7130  RUT 1:1  In the time when the judges ruled, there was once a famine in the land. A man from Bethlehem in Judah took his wife and two sons to live in the territory of Moab.
7131  RUT 1:2  His name was Elimelech and his wife’s was Naomi, and his two sons were Mahlon and Chilion. They were Ephrathites from Bethlehem in Judah. After they had been living in Moab for some time,
7132  RUT 1:3  Elimelech died, and Naomi was left with her two sons,
7133  RUT 1:4  who married Moabite women named Orpah and Ruth. After they had lived there about ten years,
7134  RUT 1:5  Mahlon and Chilion both died, and Naomi was left alone, without husband or sons.
7135  RUT 1:6  So she set out with her daughters-in-law to return from the land of Moab, for she had heard that the Lord had remembered his people and given them food.
7136  RUT 1:7  As they were setting out together on the journey to Judah,
7137  RUT 1:8  Naomi said to her daughters-in-law, “Go, return both of you to the home of your mother. May the Lord be kind to you as you have been kind to the dead and to me.
7138  RUT 1:9  The Lord grant that each of you may find peace and happiness in the house of a new husband.” Then she kissed them; but they began to weep aloud
7139  RUT 1:10  and said to her, “No, we will return with you to your people.”
7140  RUT 1:11  But Naomi said, “Go back, my daughters. Why should you go with me? Can I still bear sons who might become your husbands?
7141  RUT 1:12  Go back, my daughters, go your own way, because I am too old to have a husband. Even if I should say, ‘I have hope,’ even if I should have a husband tonight and should bear sons,
7142  RUT 1:13  would you wait for them until they were grown up? Would you remain single for them? No, my daughters! My heart grieves for you, for the Lord has sent me adversity.”
7143  RUT 1:14  Then they again wept aloud, and Orpah kissed her mother-in-law goodbye, but Ruth stayed with her.
7144  RUT 1:15  “Look,” said Naomi, “your sister-in-law is going back to her own people and to her own gods. Go along with her!”
7145  RUT 1:16  But Ruth answered, Do not urge me to leave you or to go back. I will go where you go, and I will stay wherever you stay. Your people will be my people, and your God my God;
7146  RUT 1:17  I will die where you die, and be buried there. May the Lord bring a curse upon me, if anything but death separate you and me.”
7147  RUT 1:18  When Naomi saw that Ruth was determined to go with her, she ceased urging her to return.
7148  RUT 1:19  So they journeyed on until they came to Bethlehem. Their arrival stirred the whole town, and the women said, “Can this be Naomi?”
7149  RUT 1:20  Do not call me Naomi,” she said to them, “call me Mara, for the Almighty has given me a bitter lot.
7150  RUT 1:21  I had plenty when I left, but the Lord has brought me back empty handed. Why should you call me Naomi, now that the Lord has afflicted me, and the Almighty has brought misfortune on me?”
7151  RUT 1:22  So Naomi and Ruth, her Moabite daughter-in-law, returned from Moab. They reached Bethlehem at the beginning of the barley harvest.
7152  RUT 2:1  Now Naomi was related through her husband to a very wealthy man of the family of Elimelech named Boaz.
7153  RUT 2:2  Ruth the Moabite said to Naomi, “Let me now go into the fields and gather leftover grain behind anyone who will allow me.” “Go, my daughter,” she replied.
7154  RUT 2:3  So she went to glean in the field after the reapers. As it happened, she was in that part of the field which belonged to Boaz, who was of the family of Elimelech.
