Ruth 1

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

Good News Translation GNT

1 Long ago, in the days before Israel had a king, there was a famine in the land. So a man named Elimelech, who belonged to the clan of Ephrath and who lived in Bethlehem in Judah, went with his wife Naomi and their two sons Mahlon and Chilion to live for a while in the country of Moab. While they were living there,

3 Elimelech died, and Naomi was left alone with her two sons,

4 who married Moabite women, Orpah and Ruth. About ten years later

5 Mahlon and Chilion also died, and Naomi was left all alone, without husband or sons.

6 Some time later Naomi heard that the Lord had blessed his people by giving them good crops; so she got ready to leave Moab with her daughters-in-law.

7 They started out together to go back to Judah, but on the way

8 she said to them, "Go back home and stay with your mothers. May the Lord be as good to you as you have been to me and to those who have died.

9 And may the Lord make it possible for each of you to marry again and have a home." So Naomi kissed them good-bye. But they started crying

10 and said to her, "No! We will go with you to your people."

11 "You must go back, my daughters," Naomi answered. "Why do you want to come with me? Do you think I could have sons again for you to marry?

12 Go back home, for I am too old to get married again. Even if I thought there was still hope, and so got married tonight and had sons,

13 would you wait until they had grown up? Would this keep you from marrying someone else? No, my daughters, you know that's impossible. The Lord has turned against me, and I feel very sorry for you."

14 Again they started crying. Then Orpah kissed her mother-in-law good-bye and went back home, but Ruth held on to her.

15 So Naomi said to her, "Ruth, your sister-in-law has gone back to her people and to her god. Go back home with her."

16 But Ruth answered, "Don't ask me to leave you! Let me go with you. Wherever you go, I will go; wherever you live, I will live. Your people will be my people, and your God will be my God.

17 Wherever you die, I will die, and that is where I will be buried. May the Lord's worst punishment come upon me if I let anything but death separate me from you!"

18 When Naomi saw that Ruth was determined to go with her, she said nothing more.

19 They went on until they came to Bethlehem. When they arrived, the whole town became excited, and the women there exclaimed, "Is this really Naomi?"

20 "Don't call me Naomi," she answered; "call me Marah, because Almighty God has made my life bitter.

21 When I left here, I had plenty, but the Lord has brought me back without a thing. Why call me Naomi when the Lord Almighty has condemned me and sent me trouble?"

22 This, then, was how Naomi came back from Moab with Ruth, her Moabite daughter-in-law. When they arrived in Bethlehem, the barley harvest was just beginning.
