Ruth 1

English Standard Version ESV

1 In the days when the judges ruled there was a famine in the land, and a man of Bethlehem in Judah went to sojourn in the country of Moab, he and his wife and his two sons.

2 The name of the man was Elimelech and the name of his wife Naomi, and the names of his two sons were Mahlon and Chilion. They were Ephrathites from Bethlehem in Judah. They went into the country of Moab and remained there.

3 But Elimelech, the husband of Naomi, died, and she was left with her two sons.

4 These took Moabite wives; the name of the one was Orpah and the name of the other Ruth. They lived there about ten years,

5 and both Mahlon and Chilion died, so that the woman was left without her two sons and her husband.

6 Then she arose with her daughters-in-law to return from the country of Moab, for she had heard in the fields of Moab that the Lord had visited his people and given them food.

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

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

9 The Lord grant that you may find rest, each of you in the house of her husband! ” Then she kissed them, and they lifted up their voices and wept.

10 And they said to her, “No, we will return with you to your people. ”

11 But Naomi said, “Turn back, my daughters; why will you go with me? Have I yet sons in my womb that they may become your husbands?

12 Turn back, my daughters; go your way, for I am too old to have a husband. If I should say I have hope, even if I should have a husband this night and should bear sons,

13 would you therefore wait till they were grown? Would you therefore refrain from marrying? No, my daughters, for it is exceedingly bitter to me for your sake that the hand of the Lord has gone out against me. ”

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

15 And she said, “See, your sister-in-law has gone back to her people and to her gods; return after your sister-in-law. ”

16 But Ruth said, “Do not urge me to leave you or to return from following you. For where you go I will go, and where you lodge I will lodge. Your people shall be my people, and your God my God.

17 Where you die I will die, and there will I be buried. May the Lord do so to me and more also if anything but death parts me from you. ”

18 And when Naomi saw that she was determined to go with her, she said no more.

19 So the two of them went on until they came to Bethlehem. And when they came to Bethlehem, the whole town was stirred because of them. And the women said, “Is this Naomi? ”

20 She said to them, “Do not call me Naomi; call me Mara, for the Almighty has dealt very bitterly with me.

21 I went away full, and the Lord has brought me back empty. Why call me Naomi, when the Lord has testified against me and the Almighty has brought calamity upon me? ”

22 So Naomi returned, and Ruth the Moabite her daughter-in-law with her, who returned from the country of Moab. And they came to Bethlehem at the beginning of barley harvest.

The Latin Vulgate VUL

1 in diebus unius iudicis quando iudices praeerant facta est fames in terra abiitque homo de Bethleem Iuda ut peregrinaretur in regione moabitide cum uxore sua ac duobus liberis

2 ipse vocabatur Helimelech uxor eius Noemi e duobus filiis alter Maalon et alter Chellion Ephrathei de Bethleem Iuda ingressique regionem moabitidem morabantur ibi

3 et mortuus est Helimelech maritus Noemi remansitque ipsa cum filiis

4 qui acceperunt uxores moabitidas quarum una vocabatur Orpha altera Ruth manseruntque ibi decem annis

5 et ambo mortui sunt Maalon videlicet et Chellion remansitque mulier orbata duobus liberis ac marito

6 et surrexit ut in patriam pergeret cum utraque nuru sua de regione moabitide audierat enim quod respexisset Dominus populum suum et dedisset eis escas

7 egressa est itaque de loco peregrinationis suae cum utraque nuru et iam in via posita revertendi in terram Iuda

8 dixit ad eas ite in domum matris vestrae faciat Dominus vobiscum misericordiam sicut fecistis cum mortuis et mecum

9 det vobis invenire requiem in domibus virorum quos sortiturae estis et osculata est eas quae elevata voce flere coeperunt

10 et dicere tecum pergemus ad populum tuum

11 quibus illa respondit revertimini filiae mi cur venitis mecum num ultra habeo filios in utero meo ut viros ex me sperare possitis

12 revertimini filiae mi abite iam enim senectute confecta sum nec apta vinculo coniugali etiam si possem hac nocte concipere et parere filios

13 si eos expectare velitis donec crescant et annos impleant pubertatis ante eritis vetulae quam nubatis nolite quaeso filiae mi quia vestra angustia me magis premit et egressa est manus Domini contra me

14 elevata igitur voce rursum flere coeperunt Orpha osculata socrum est ac reversa Ruth adhesit socrui suae

15 cui dixit Noemi en reversa est cognata tua ad populum suum et ad deos suos vade cum ea

16 quae respondit ne adverseris mihi ut relinquam te et abeam quocumque perrexeris pergam ubi morata fueris et ego pariter morabor populus tuus populus meus et Deus tuus Deus meus

17 quae te morientem terra susceperit in ea moriar ibique locum accipiam sepulturae haec mihi faciat Deus et haec addat si non sola mors me et te separaverit

18 videns ergo Noemi quod obstinato Ruth animo decrevisset secum pergere adversari noluit nec ultra ad suos reditum persuadere

19 profectaeque sunt simul et venerunt in Bethleem quibus urbem ingressis velox apud cunctos fama percrebuit dicebantque mulieres haec est illa Noemi

20 quibus ait ne vocetis me Noemi id est pulchram sed vocate me Mara hoc est amaram quia valde me amaritudine replevit Omnipotens

21 egressa sum plena et vacuam reduxit me Dominus cur igitur vocatis me Noemi quam humiliavit Dominus et adflixit Omnipotens

22 venit ergo Noemi cum Ruth Moabitide nuru sua de terra peregrinationis suae ac reversa est in Bethleem quando primum hordea metebantur
