The Naomi's Story - Ruth 1

By -
Ruth 1:1 Now it came to pass in the days when the judges  ruled, that there was a famine in the land. And a certain man  of Bethlehem judah went to sojourn in the country of Moab,  he, and his wife, and his two sons. 

Ruth 1:2 And the 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. And they came into the  country of Moab, and continued there. 

Ruth 1:3 And Elimelech  Naomi’s husband died; and she was left, and her two sons.  

Ruth 1:4 And they took them wives 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 years. 

Ruth 1:5 And  Mahlon and Chilion died also both of them; and the woman  was left of her two sons and her husband.  

Ruth 1:6 Then 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 the LORD had visited his  people in giving them bread. 

Ruth 1:7 Wherefore she 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 unto the  land of Judah. 

Ruth 1:8 And Naomi said unto her two  daughters in law, Go, return each to her mother’s house: the  LORD deal kindly with you, as ye have dealt with the dead,  and with me. 

Ruth 1:9 The LORD grant you that ye may find  rest, each of you in the house of her husband. Then she  kissed them; and they lifted up their voice, and wept. 

Ruth 1:10  And they said unto her, Surely we will return with thee unto  thy people. 

Ruth 1:11 And Naomi said, Turn again, my  daughters: why will ye go with me? are there yet any  more sons in my womb, that they may be your husbands?  

Ruth 1:12 Turn again, my daughters, go your way; for I am  too old to have an husband. If I should say, I have hope, if  I should have an husband also to night, and should also bear  sons; 

Ruth 1:13 Would ye tarry for them till they were grown?  would ye stay for them from having husbands? nay, my  daughters; for it grieveth me much for your sakes that the  hand of the LORD is gone out against me. 

Ruth 1:14 And they  lifted up their voice, and wept again: and Orpah kissed her  mother in law; but Ruth clave unto her. 

Ruth 1:15 And she  said, Behold, thy sister in law is gone back unto her people,  and unto her gods: return thou after thy sister in law. 

Ruth 1:16  And Ruth said, Intreat me not to leave thee, or to return  from following after thee: for whither thou goest, I will go;  and where thou lodgest, I will lodge: thy people shall be  my people, and thy God my God: 

Ruth 1:17 Where thou diest,  will I die, and there will I be buried: the LORD do so to me,  and more also, if ought but death part thee and me. 

Ruth 1:18  When she saw that she was steadfastly minded to go with  her, then she left speaking unto her.  

Ruth 1:19 So they two went until they came to Bethlehem.  And it came to pass, when they were come to Bethlehem,  that all the city was moved about them, and they said, Is  this Naomi? 

Ruth 1:20 And she said unto them, Call me not  Naomi, call me Mara: for the Almighty hath dealt very  bitterly with me. 

Ruth 1:21 I went out full, and the LORD hath  brought me home again empty: why then call ye me  Naomi, seeing the LORD hath testified against me, and the  Almighty hath afflicted me? 

Ruth 1:22 So Naomi returned, and  Ruth the Moabitess, her daughter in law, with her, which  returned out of the country of Moab: and they came to  Bethlehem in the beginning of barley harvest.
