10: And they saidH0559 surelyH3588 with youH0854 we will returnH7725 to your people.H5971

11: But said,H0559 NaomiH5281 Turn back,H7725 my daughters.H1323 WhyH4100 will you goH1980 with meH5973 [Are] there stillH5750 sonsH1121 in my womb,H4578 that they may beH1961 husbands?H0376

12: Turn back,H7725 my daughters,H1323 goH1980 forH3588 I am too oldH2204 to haveH1961 a husband.H0376 IfH3588 I should say,H0559 haveH3426 hope,H8615 alsoH1571 [if] I should haveH1961 tonight,H3915 a husbandH0376 and alsoH1571 should bearH3205 sons-H1121

13: would for themH3860 you waitH7663 untilH5704 tillH0834 they were grown?H1431 wouldH3860 you restrain yourselvesH5702 fromH1115 havingH1961 husbands?H0376 No,H0408 my daughters-H1323 forH3588 it grievesH4843 very muchH3966 forH4480 your sakes thatH3588 has gone outH3318 the handH3027 of Yahweh.H3068

14: And they lifted upH5375 their voices,H6963 and weptH1058 again-H5750 and kissedH5401 OrpahH6204 her mother-in-law-H2545 but RuthH7327 clungH1692

15: And she said,H0559 Look,H2009 has gone backH7725 your sister-in-lawH2994 toH0413 her people,H5971 and toH0413 her gods-H0430 returnH7725 afterH0310 your sister-in-law.H2994

16: But said,H0559 RuthH7327 notH0408 EntreatH6293 to leave youH5800 [Or [to] turn backH7725 from following after youH0310 forH3588 thereH0413 whereverH0834 you go,H1980 I will go-H1980 and whereverH0834 you lodge,H3885 I will lodge.H3885 Your peopleH5971 [shall be] my people,H5971 and your GodH0430 my God.H0430

17: WhereH0834 you die,H4191 I will die,H4191 and thereH8033 will I be buried.H6912 SoH3541 doH6213 YahwehH3068 and also,H3541 moreH3254 ifH3588 [anything but] deathH4194 partsH6504 youH0996 and me.H0996

18: And when she sawH7200 thatH3588 was determinedH0553 sheH1931 to goH1980 with herH0854 and she stoppedH2308 speakingH1696 to her.H0413

19: And wentH1980 the two of themH8147 untilH5704 they cameH0935 Bethlehem.H1035 And it came to pass,H1961 when they had comeH0935 Bethlehem,H1035 that was excitedH1949 allH3605 the cityH5892 because of themH5921 and the women said,H0559 [Is] thisH2063 Naomi?H5281

20: but she saidH0559 to themH0413 notH0408 do callH7121 Naomi,H5281 callH7121 Mara,H4755 forH3588 has dealt bitterlyH4843 the AlmightyH7706 very.H3966

21: IH0589 fullH4390 went outH1980 and empty.H7387 Has brought me home againH7725 YahwehH3068 whyH4100 do you callH7121 Naomi,H5281 since YahwehH3068 has testifiedH6030 and the AlmightyH7706 has afflictedH7489
