A certain man of Bethlehem Judah + went to sojourn in the country of Moab, he, and his wife, + and his two sons. +001:002 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. They came into the country of Moab, + and continued there. +001:003 Elimelech, Naomi's husband, died; and she was left, + and her two sons. +001:004 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 lived there about ten years. +001:005 Mahlon and Chilion died both of them; and the woman was left + of her two children and of her husband. +001:006 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 Yahweh had visited his people in giving them bread. +001:007 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 + to the land of Judah. +001:008 Naomi said to her two daughters-in-law, Go, return each + of you to her mother's house: Yahweh deal kindly with you, + as you have dealt with the dead, and with me. +001:009 Yahweh grant you that you may find rest, each of you in the house + of her husband. Then she kissed them, and they lifted up + their voice, and wept. +001:010 They said to her, No, but we will return with you to your people. +001:011 Naomi said, Turn again, my daughters: why will you go with me? + have I yet sons in my womb, that they may be your husbands? +001:012 Turn again, my daughters, go your way; for I am too old to have + a husband. If I should say, I have hope, if I should even + have a husband tonight, and should also bear sons; +001:013 would you therefore wait until they were grown? would you + therefore stay from having husbands? nay, my daughters, + for it grieves me much for your sakes, for the hand of Yahweh + is gone forth against me. +001:014 They lifted up their voice, and wept again: and Orpah kissed + her mother-in-law, but Ruth joined with her. +001:015 She said, Behold, your sister-in-law is gone back to her people, + and to her god: return you after your sister-in-law. +001:016 Ruth said, "Don't entreat me to leave you, and to return + from following after 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; +001:017 where you die, will I die, and there will I be buried: + Yahweh do so to me, and more also, if anything but death part + you and me." +001:018 When she saw that she was steadfastly minded to go with her, + she left off speaking to her. +001:019 So they two went until they came to Bethlehem. It happened, + when they were come to Bethlehem, that all the city was moved + about them, and [the women] said, Is this Naomi? +001:020 She said to them, "Don't call me Naomi, call me Mara; + for the Almighty has dealt very bitterly with me. +001:021 I went out full, and Yahweh has brought me home again empty; + why do you call me Naomi, seeing Yahweh has testified against me, + and the Almighty has afflicted me?" +001:022 So Naomi returned, and Ruth the Moabitess, her daughter-in-law, + with her, who returned out of the country of Moab: + and they came to Bethlehem in the beginning of barley harvest. +002:001 Naomi had a kinsman of her husband's, a mighty man of wealth, + of the family of Elimelech, and his name was Boaz. +002:002 Ruth the Moabitess said to Naomi, Let me now go to the field, + and glean among the ears of grain after him in whose sight + I shall find favor. She said to her, Go, my daughter. +002:003 She went, and came and gleaned in the field after the reapers: + and she happened to come to the portion of the field belonging + to Boaz, who was of the family of Elimelech. +002:004 Behold, Boaz came from Bethlehem, and said to the reapers, + Yahweh be with you. They answered him, Yahweh bless you. +002:005 Then said Boaz to his servant who was set over the reapers, + Whose young lady is this? +002:006 The servant who was set over the reapers answered, It is the Moabite + lady who came back with Naomi out of the country of Moab: +002:007 She said, Please let me glean and gather after the reapers + among the sheaves. So she came, and has continued even + from the morning until now, except that she stayed a little + in the house. +002:008 Then said Boaz to Ruth, Don't you hear, my daughter? + Don't go to glean in another field, neither pass from hence, + but abide here fast by my maidens. +002:009 Let your eyes be on the field that they reap, and go after them: + haven't I charged the young men that they shall not touch + you? and when you are thirsty, go to the vessels, and drink + of that which the young men have drawn. +002:010 Then she fell on her face, and bowed herself to the ground, + and said to him, Why have I found favor in your sight, + that you should take knowledge of me, seeing I am a foreigner? +002:011 Boaz answered her, It has fully been shown me, all that you + have done to your mother-in-law since the death of your husband; + and how you have left your father and your mother, + and the land of your birth, and have come to a people that you + didn't know before. +002:012 Yahweh recompense your work, and a full reward be given you + of Yahweh, the God of Israel, under whose wings you are come + to take refuge. +002:013 Then she said, Let me find favor in your sight, my lord, + because you have comforted me, and because you have spoken kindly + to your handmaid, though I am not as one of your handmaidens. +002:014 At meal time Boaz said to her, Come here, and eat of the bread, + and dip your morsel in the vinegar. She sat beside the reapers, + and they reached her parched grain, and she ate, and was sufficed, + and left of it. +002:015 When she was risen up to glean, Boaz commanded his + young men, saying, Let her glean even among the sheaves, + and don't reproach her. +002:016 Also pull out some for her from the bundles, and leave it, + and let her glean, and don't rebuke her. +002:017 So she gleaned in the field until even; and she beat out that + which she had gleaned, and it was about an ephah of barley. +002:018 She took it up, and went into the city; and her mother-in-law + saw what she had gleaned: and she brought forth and gave + to her that which she had left after she was sufficed. +002:019 Her mother-in-law said to her, Where have you gleaned today? and + where have you worked? blessed be he who did take knowledge of you. + She shown her mother-in-law with whom she had worked, and said, + The man's name with whom I worked today is Boaz. +002:020 Naomi said to her daughter-in-law, Blessed be he of Yahweh, + who has not left off his kindness to the living and to the dead. + Naomi said to her, The man is a close relative to us, + one of our near kinsmen. +002:021 Ruth the Moabitess said, Yes, he said to me, You shall keep + fast by my young men, until they have ended all my harvest. +002:022 Naomi said to Ruth her daughter-in-law, It is good, my daughter, + that you go out with his maidens, and that they not meet you + in any other field. +002:023 So she kept fast by the maidens of Boaz, to glean to the end + of barley harvest and of wheat harvest; and she lived + with her mother-in-law. +003:001 Naomi her mother-in-law said to her, My daughter, shall I + not seek rest for you, that it may be well with you? +003:002 Now isn't Boaz our kinsman, with whose maidens you were? + Behold, he winnows barley tonight in the threshing floor. +003:003 Wash yourself therefore, and anoint you, and put your clothing + on you, and get you down to the threshing floor, but don't + make yourself known to the man, until he shall have done + eating and drinking. +003:004 It shall be, when he lies down, that you shall mark the place + where he shall lie, and you shall go in, and uncover his feet, + and lay you down; and he will tell you what you shall do. +003:005 She said to her, All that you say I will do. +003:006 She went down to the threshing floor, and did according to all + that her mother-in-law told her. +003:007 When Boaz had eaten and drunk, and his heart was merry, + he went to lie down at the end of the heap of grain: + and she came softly, and uncovered his feet, and laid her down. +003:008 It happened at midnight, that the man was afraid, and turned himself; + and behold, a woman lay at his feet. +003:009 He said, Who are you? She answered, I am Ruth your handmaid: + spread therefore your skirt over your handmaid; for you are + a near kinsman. +003:010 He said, Blessed are you by Yahweh, my daughter: + you have shown more kindness in the latter end than at + the beginning, inasmuch as you didn't follow young men, + whether poor or rich. +003:011 Now, my daughter, don't be afraid; I will do to you all that + you say; for all the city of my people does know that you + are a worthy woman. +003:012 Now it is true that I am a near kinsman; however there is + a kinsman nearer than I. +003:013 Stay this night, and it shall be in the morning, that if he will + perform to you the part of a kinsman, well; let him do the + kinsman's part: but if he will not do the part of a kinsman to you, + then will I do the part of a kinsman to you, as Yahweh lives: + lie down until the morning. +003:014 She lay at his feet until the morning. She rose up before + one could discern another. For he said, Let it not be known + that the woman came to the threshing floor. +003:015 He said, Bring the mantle that is on you, and hold it; + and she held it; and he measured six [measures] of barley, + and laid it on her: and he went into the city. +003:016 When she came to her mother-in-law, she said, Who are you, + my daughter? She told her all that the man had done to her. +003:017 She said, These six [measures] of barley gave he me; for he said, + "Don't go empty to your mother-in-law." +003:018 Then said she, "Sit still, my daughter, until you know how + the matter will fall; for the man will not rest, until he has + finished the thing this day." +004:001 Now Boaz went up to the gate, and sat him down there: + and behold, the near kinsman of whom Boaz spoke came by; + to whom he said, Ho, such a one! turn aside, sit down here. + He turned aside, and sat down. +004:002 He took ten men of the elders of the city, and said, Sit you + down here. They sat down. +004:003 He said to the near kinsman, Naomi, who has come back out + of the country of Moab, is selling the parcel of land, + which was our brother Elimelech's: +004:004 I thought to disclose it to you, saying, Buy it before + those who sit here, and before the elders of my people. + If you will redeem it, redeem it: but if you will not + redeem it, then tell me, that I may know; for there + is none to redeem it besides you; and I am after you. + He said, I will redeem it. +004:005 Then said Boaz, What day you buy the field of the hand of Naomi, + you must buy it also of Ruth the Moabitess, the wife of the dead, + to raise up the name of the dead on his inheritance. +004:006 The near kinsman said, I can't redeem it for myself, lest I + mar my own inheritance: take my right of redemption on you; + for I can't redeem it. +004:007 Now this was [the custom] in former time in Israel concerning + redeeming and concerning exchanging, to confirm all things: + a man drew off his shoe, and gave it to his neighbor; + and this was the [manner of] attestation in Israel. +004:008 So the near kinsman said to Boaz, Buy it for yourself. + He drew off his shoe. +004:009 Boaz said to the elders, and to all the people, You are witnesses + this day, that I have bought all that was Elimelech's, + and all that was Chilion's and Mahlon's, of the hand of Naomi. +004:010 Moreover Ruth the Moabitess, the wife of Mahlon, have I + purchased to be my wife, to raise up the name of the dead + on his inheritance, that the name of the dead not be cut off + from among his brothers, and from the gate of his place: + you are witnesses this day. +004:011 All the people who were in the gate, and the elders, said, We + are witnesses. Yahweh make the woman who has come into your house + like Rachel and like Leah, which two built the house of Israel: + and do you worthily in Ephrathah, and be famous in Bethlehem: +004:012 and let your house be like the house of Perez, whom Tamar + bore to Judah, of the seed which Yahweh shall give you + of this young woman. +004:013 So Boaz took Ruth, and she became his wife; and he went in to her, + and Yahweh gave her conception, and she bore a son. +004:014 The women said to Naomi, Blessed be Yahweh, who has not left + you this day without a near kinsman; and let his name be + famous in Israel. +004:015 He shall be to you a restorer of life, and sustain you + in your old age, for your daughter-in-law, who loves you, + who is better to you than seven sons, has borne him. +004:016 Naomi took the child, and laid it in her bosom, and became + nurse to it. +004:017 The women her neighbors gave it a name, saying, There is a son + born to Naomi; and they named him Obed: he is the father + of Jesse, the father of David. +004:018 Now this is the history of the generations of Perez: Perez became + the father of Hezron, +004:019 and Hezron became the father of Ram, and Ram became + the father of Amminadab, +004:020 and Amminadab became the father of Nahshon, and Nahshon became + the father of Salmon, +004:021 and Salmon became the father of Boaz, and Boaz became + the father of Obed, +004:022 and Obed became the father of Jesse, and Jesse became + the father of David. + + + + +*** END OF THE PROJECT GUTENBERG EBOOK, THE WORLD ENGLISH BIBLE (WEB): RUTH *** + +This file should be named 8235.txt or 8235.zip + +Project Gutenberg eBooks are often created from several printed +editions, all of which are confirmed as Public Domain in the US +unless a copyright notice is included.
