    1During the time when the judges ruled, there was a famine in the land, and a man from Bethlehem in Judah left to live temporarily in the fields of Moab, he, his wife, and his two sons.

    2The man's name was Elimelech, his wife's name was Naomi, and the names of his two sons were Mahlon and Kilion. They were Ephrathites from Bethlehem in Judah. They came to the fields of Moab and settled there.

    3Then Elimelech, Naomi's husband, died, and she was left with her two sons.

    4These sons married Moabite women. One was named Orpah, and the other was named Ruth. They lived there about ten years.

    5Then both Mahlon and Kilion also died, and Naomi was left without her two sons and her husband.

    6Naomi arose with her daughters-in-law to return from the fields of Moab because she had heard in Moab that the LORD had attended to His people by providing them with food.

    7She left the place where she had been living, along with her two daughters-in-law, and they began to travel on the road back to the land of Judah.

    8But Naomi said to her two daughters-in-law, "Go back, each of you, to your mother’s house. May the LORD deal kindly with you, as you have dealt with the dead and with me.

    9May the LORD grant that each of you will find rest in the home of another husband." She kissed them goodbye, and they lifted up their voices and wept.

    10They said to her, "We will go back with you to your people."

    11But Naomi replied, "Return home, my daughters. Why would you come with me? Do I still have sons in my womb who could become your husbands?

    12Return home, my daughters. I am too old to have another husband. Even if I thought there was still hope for me—even if I had a husband tonight and then gave birth to sons—

    13would you wait until they grew up? Would you remain unmarried for them? No, my daughters, it is more bitter for me than for you because the LORD’s hand has turned against me."

    14They lifted up their voices and wept again. Orpah kissed her mother-in-law goodbye, but Ruth clung to her.

    15Naomi said, "Look, your sister-in-law is going back to her people and her gods. Return with her."

    16But Ruth replied, "Do not urge me to leave you or to turn back from following you. For wherever you go, I will go, and wherever you lodge, I will lodge. Your people will be my people, and your God will be my God.

    17Where you die, I will die, and there I will be buried. May the LORD deal with me, be it ever so severely, if even death separates you and me.

    21I went away full, but the LORD has brought me back empty. Why call me Naomi? The LORD has afflicted me; the Almighty has brought misfortune upon me.

    19Her mother-in-law asked her, "Where did you glean today? Where did you work? Blessed be the man who noticed you." Then Ruth told her mother-in-law about the one at whose field she had worked. She said, "The man's name I worked with today is Boaz."

    20Naomi said to her daughter-in-law, "May he be blessed by the LORD, who has not stopped showing his kindness to the living and the dead." She added, "That man is a close relative of ours; he is one of our kinsman-redeemers."

    21Then Ruth the Moabite said, "He even told me, 'Stay close to my harvesters until they have finished all my harvest.'"
