1:1 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.
1:2 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.
1:3 And
Elimelech
Naomies
husband
died,
and
shee
was
left,
and
her
two
sonnes;
1:4 And
they
tooke
them
wiues
of
the
women
of
Moab:
the
name
of
the
one
was
Orpah,
and
the
name
of
the
other
rthh:
and
they
dwelled
there
about
ten
yeeres.
1:5 And
Mahlon
and
Chilion
died
also
both
of
them,
and
the
woman
was
left
of
her
two
sonnes,
and
her
husband.
1:6 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.
1:7 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.
1:8 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.
1:9 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.
1:10 And
they
said
vnto
her,
Surely
wee
will
returne
with
thee,
vnto
thy
people.
1:11 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
1:12 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:
1:13 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.
1:14 And
they
lift
vp
their
voyce,
and
wept
againe:
and
Orpah
kissed
her
mother
in
law,
but
rthh
claue
vnto
her.
1:15 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.
1:16 And
rthh
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:
1:17 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.
1:18 When
shee
sawe
that
shee
was
stedfastly
minded
to
goe
with
her,
then
shee
left
speaking
vnto
her.
1:19 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
1:20 And
she
said
vnto
them,
Call
me
not
Naomi;
call
mee
Mara:
for
the
Almightie
hath
dealt
very
bitterly
with
me.
1:21 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
1:22 So
Naomi
returned,
and
rthh
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.
