Rut 1:5 Meaning and Commentary

Ruth 1:5

And Mahlon and Chilion died also both of them
As well as their father, in the land of Moab, after they had lived with their wives in it about ten years; the Targum is,

``because they transgressed the decree of the Word of the Lord, and joined in affinity with strange people, their days were cut off;''

or shortened:

and the woman was left of her two sons and her husband;
deprived both of her husband and her sons, which was a great affliction, aggravated by her being in a strange country; many are the afflictions of the righteous.

3 Y muri贸 Elimelech, marido de Noemi, y qued贸 ella con sus dos hijos;
4 Los cuales tomaron para s铆 mujeres de Moab, el nombre de la una Orpha, y el nombre de la otra Ruth; y habitaron all铆 unos diez a帽os.
5 Y murieron tambi茅n los dos, Mahal贸n y Cheli贸n, quedando as铆 la mujer desamparada de sus dos hijos y de su marido.
6 Entonces se levant贸 con sus nueras, y volvi贸se de los campos de Moab: porque oy贸 en el campo de Moab que Jehov谩 hab铆a visitado 谩 su pueblo para darles pan.
7 Sali贸 pues del lugar donde hab铆a estado, y con ella sus dos nueras, y comenzaron 谩 caminar para volverse 谩 la tierra de Jud谩.
