    1It happened in the days when the judges judged, that there was a famine in the land. A certain man of Bethlehem Judah went to sojourn in the country of Moab, he, and his wife, and his two sons.

    2The name of the man was Elimelech, and the name of his wife Naomi, and the name of his two sons Mahlon and Chilion, Ephrathites of Bethlehem Judah. They came into the country of Moab, and continued there.

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

    4They took them wives of the women of Moab; the name of the one was Orpah, and the name of the other Ruth: and they lived there about ten years.

    5Mahlon and Chilion died both of them; and the woman was left of her two children and of her husband.

    6Then she arose with her daughters-in-law, that she might return from the country of Moab: for she had heard in the country of Moab how that Yahweh had visited his people in giving them bread.

    7She went forth out of the place where she was, and her two daughters-in-law with her; and they went on the way to return to the land of Judah.

    8Naomi said to her two daughters-in-law, Go, return each of you to her mother's house: Yahweh deal kindly with you, as you have dealt with the dead, and with me.

    9Yahweh grant you that you may find rest, each of you in the house of her husband. Then she kissed them, and they lifted up their voice, and wept.

    10They said to her, No, but we will return with you to your people.

    11Naomi said, Turn again, my daughters: why will you go with me? have I yet sons in my womb, that they may be your husbands?

    15She said, Behold, your sister-in-law is gone back to her people, and to her god: return you after your sister-in-law.

    19So they two went until they came to Bethlehem. It happened, when they were come to Bethlehem, that all the city was moved about them, and [the women] said, Is this Naomi?

    20She said to them, "Don't call me Naomi, call me Mara; for the Almighty has dealt very bitterly with me.

    21I went out full, and Yahweh has brought me home again empty; why do you call me Naomi, seeing Yahweh has testified against me, and the Almighty has afflicted me?"

    22So Naomi returned, and Ruth the Moabitess, her daughter-in-law, with her, who returned out of the country of Moab: and they came to Bethlehem in the beginning of barley harvest.

    12Now it is true that I am a near kinsman; however there is a kinsman nearer than I.

    13Stay this night, and it shall be in the morning, that if he will perform to you the part of a kinsman, well; let him do the kinsman's part: but if he will not do the part of a kinsman to you, then will I do the part of a kinsman to you, as Yahweh lives: lie down until the morning.
