Leeser(i)
14 And they lifted up their voice and wept a long time; and Orpah kissed her mother-in-law; but Ruth cleaved unto her.
15 And she said, Behold, thy sister-in-law is returned back unto her people, and unto her gods; return thou after thy sister-in-law.
16 But Ruth said, Urge me not to leave thee, to return from following thee; for whither thou goest, will I go; and where thou lodgest, will I lodge; thy people shall be my people, and thy God my God.
17 Where thou diest, will I die, and there will I be buried; may the Lord do so to me, and may he so continue, if aught but death shall part me from thee.
18 When she thus saw that she was persisting to go with her, she left off speaking unto her.
19 So these two went until they came to Beth-lechem. And it came to pass, when they entered Beth-lechem, that all the city was in commotion about them, and people said, Is this Na’omi?
20 And she said unto them, Call me not Na’omi, call me Mara; for the Almighty hath dealt very bitterly with me.
21 I went out full, but empty hath the Lord brought me home again; why then will ye call me Na’omi, seeing the Lord hath testified against me, and the Almighty hath sent me affliction?
22 So did Na’omi return, and Ruth the Moabitess, her daughter-in-law, with her, who had returned out of the fields of Moab; and they came to Beth-lechem at the beginning of the barley-harvest.
