KJV RUT1 with Strong's Hebrew/Greek

1:1 Now it came to pass in the days [H3117] when the judges [H8199] ruled [H8199] , that there was a famine [H7458] in the land [H776] . And a certain man [H376] of Bethlehemjudah [H1035] [H3063] went [H3212] to sojourn [H1481] in the country [H7704] of Moab [H4124] , he, and his wife [H802] , and his two [H8147] sons [H1121] .(ruled: Heb. judged)

1:2 And the name [H8034] of the man [H376] [was] Elimelech [H458] , and the name [H8034] of his wife [H802] Naomi [H5281] , and the name [H8034] of his two [H8147] sons [H1121] Mahlon [H4248] and Chilion [H3630] , Ephrathites [H673] of Bethlehemjudah [H1035] [H3063] . And they came [H935] into the country [H7704] of Moab [H4124] , and continued there.(continued: Heb. were)

1:3 And Elimelech [H458] Naomi's [H5281] husband [H376] died [H4191] ; and she was left [H7604] , and her two [H8147] sons [H1121] .

1:4 And they took [H5375] them wives [H802] of the women [H802] of Moab [H4125] ; the name [H8034] of the one [H259] [was] Orpah [H6204] , and the name [H8034] of the other [H8145] Ruth [H7327] : and they dwelled [H3427] there about ten [H6235] years [H8141] .

1:5 And Mahlon [H4248] and Chilion [H3630] died [H4191] also both [H8147] of them; and the woman [H802] was left [H7604] of her two [H8147] sons [H3206] and her husband [H376] .

1:6 Then she arose [H6965] with her daughters in law [H3618] , that she might return [H7725] from the country [H7704] of Moab [H4124] : for she had heard [H8085] in the country [H7704] of Moab [H4124] how that the LORD [H3068] had visited [H6485] his people [H5971] in giving [H5414] them bread [H3899] .

1:7 Wherefore she went forth [H3318] out of the place [H4725] where she was, and her two [H8147] daughters in law [H3618] with her; and they went [H3212] on the way [H1870] to return [H7725] unto the land [H776] of Judah [H3063] .

1:8 And Naomi [H5281] said [H559] unto her two [H8147] daughters in law [H3618] , Go [H3212] , return [H7725] each [H802] to her mother's [H517] house [H1004] : the LORD [H3068] deal [H6213] kindly [H2617] with you, as ye have dealt [H6213] with the dead [H4191] , and with me.

1:9 The LORD [H3068] grant [H5414] you that ye may find [H4672] rest [H4496] , each [H802] [of you] in the house [H1004] of her husband [H376] . Then she kissed [H5401] them; and they lifted up [H5375] their voice [H6963] , and wept [H1058] .

1:10 And they said [H559] unto her, Surely we will return [H7725] with thee unto thy people [H5971] .

1:11 And Naomi [H5281] said [H559] , Turn again [H7725] , my daughters [H1323] : why will ye go [H3212] with me? [are] there yet [any more] sons [H1121] in my womb [H4578] , that they may be your husbands [H582] ?

1:12 Turn again [H7725] , my daughters [H1323] , go [H3212] [your way]; for I am too old [H2204] to have an husband [H376] . If I should say [H559] , I have [H3426] hope [H8615] , [if] I should have an husband [H376] also to night [H3915] , and should also bear [H3205] sons [H1121] ;(should have: or were with an husband)

1:13 Would ye tarry [H7663] for them [H3860] till they were grown [H1431] ? would ye stay [H5702] for them [H3860] from having husbands [H376] ? nay, my daughters [H1323] ; for it grieveth [H4843] me much [H3966] for your sakes that the hand [H3027] of the LORD [H3068] is gone out [H3318] against me.(tarry: Heb. hope)(it grieveth: Heb. I have much bitterness)

1:14 And they lifted up [H5375] their voice [H6963] , and wept again [H1058] : and Orpah [H6204] kissed [H5401] her mother in law [H2545] ; but Ruth [H7327] clave [H1692] unto her.

1:15 And she said [H559] , Behold, thy sister in law [H2994] is gone back [H7725] unto her people [H5971] , and unto her gods [H430] : return [H7725] thou after [H310] thy sister in law [H2994] .

1:16 And Ruth [H7327] said [H559] , Intreat [H6293] me not to leave [H5800] thee, [or] to return [H7725] from following after [H310] thee: for whither thou goest [H3212] , I will go [H3212] ; and where thou lodgest [H3885] , I will lodge [H3885] : thy people [H5971] [shall be] my people [H5971] , and thy God [H430] my God [H430] :(Intreat: or, Be not against me)

1:17 Where thou diest [H4191] , will I die [H4191] , and there will I be buried [H6912] : the LORD [H3068] do [H6213] so to me, and more [H3254] also, [if ought] but death [H4194] part [H6504] thee and me.

1:18 When she saw [H7200] that she was stedfastly minded [H553] to go [H3212] with her, then she left [H2308] speaking [H1696] unto her.(was: Heb. strengthened herself)

1:19 So they two [H8147] went [H3212] until they came [H935] to Bethlehem [H1035] . And it came to pass, when they were come [H935] to Bethlehem [H1035] , that all the city [H5892] was moved [H1949] about them, and they said [H559] , [Is] this Naomi [H5281] ?

1:20 And she said [H559] unto them, Call [H7121] me not Naomi [H5281] , call [H7121] me Mara [H4755] : for the Almighty [H7706] hath dealt very [H3966] bitterly [H4843] with me.(Naomi: that is, Pleasant)(Mara: that is, Bitter)

1:21 I went out [H1980] full [H4392] , and the LORD [H3068] hath brought me home again [H7725] empty [H7387] : why [then] call [H7121] ye me Naomi [H5281] , seeing the LORD [H3068] hath testified [H6030] against me, and the Almighty [H7706] hath afflicted [H7489] me?

1:22 So Naomi [H5281] returned [H7725] , and Ruth [H7327] the Moabitess [H4125] , her daughter in law [H3618] , with her, which returned [H7725] out of the country [H7704] of Moab [H4124] : and they came [H935] to Bethlehem [H1035] in the beginning [H8462] of barley [H8184] harvest [H7105] .
