[2]And the name of the man was Elimelech, and the name of his wife, Naomi: and the names of his two sons, Mahlon, and Chilion, Ephrathites of Bethlehem Judah: and when they came into the land of Moab, they continued there. |
| [3]And Elimelech Naomies husbande died, and she remayned with her two sonnes |
[3]Then Elimelech the husband of Naomi died, and she remained with her two sons, |

| [8]And Naomi said vnto her two daughters in lawe, Go & returne eche of you vnto your mothers house: & the Lorde deale as kindly with you, as ye haue dealt with the dead, and with me |

[11]But Naomi said, Turn again, my daughters: for what cause will you go with me? Are there any more sons in my womb, that they may be your husbands? |
| [12]Turne againe my daughters, go your way, for I am to olde to haue an husbande: And if I sayd, I haue hope, if I toke a man also this night, yea & though I had alredy borne sonnes |
[12]Turn again, my daughters: go your way: for I am too old to have an husband. If I should say, I have hope, and if I had an husband this night: yea, if I had born sons, |

[13]Would ye tarry for them, till they were of age? Would ye be deferred for them from taking of husbands? Nay my daughters: for it grieveth me much for your sakes that the hand of the Lord is gone out against me. |
| [14]And they lift vp their voyces, & wept againe: and Orpha kissed her mother in lawe, but Ruth abode still by her |
[14]Then they lift up their voice and wept again, and Orpah kissed her mother in law, but Ruth abode still with her. |
| [15]And Naomi said: See, thy sister in law is gone backe againe vnto her people, & vnto her gods: returne thou after her |
[15]And Naomi said, Behold, thy sister in law is gone back unto her people and unto her gods: return thou after thy sister in law. |
| [16]And Ruth aunswered: Entreat me not to leaue thee, and to returne from after thee: for whyther thou goest, I will go also, & where thou dwellest, there I wil dwell: Thy people shalbe my people, and thy god my god |
[16]And Ruth answered, Entreat me not to leave thee, nor to depart from thee: for whither thou goest, I will go: and where thou dwellest, I will dwell: thy people shall be my people, and thy God my God. |
| [17]Where thou diest, there will I die, and there wyl I be buried: The Lord do so to me and more also, if ought but death depart thee and me |
[17]Where thou diest, will I die, and there will I be buried. the Lord do so to me and more also, if ought but death depart thee and me. |

[18]When she saw that she was steadfastly minded to go with her, she left speaking unto her. |
| [19]And so they wet both, vntil they came to Bethlehe: And whe they were come to Bethlehem, it was noysed of them thorow all the citie, and they sayde: Is not this Naomi |
[19]So they went both until they came to Beth-lehem: and when they were come to Beth-lehem, it was noised of them through all the city, and they said, Is not this Naomi? |
| [20]And she annswered them: Cal me not Naomi: but call me Mara, for the almightie hath made me verie bitter |
[20]And she answered them, Call me not Naomi, but call me Mara: for the Almighty hath given me much bitterness. |

[21]I went out full, and the Lord hath caused me to return empty: why call ye me Naomi, seeing the Lord hath humbled me, and the Almighty hath brought me unto adversity? |
