14And they lifted up their voice, and wept again: and Orpah kissed her mother in law; but Ruth clave unto her.They lifted up their voices and wept again; then Orpah kissed her mother-in-law, but Ruth stayed with her.
15And she said, Behold, thy sister in law is gone back unto her people, and unto her gods: return thou after thy sister in law.She said, “Behold, your sister-in-law has gone back to her people and to her god. Follow your sister-in-law.”
16And Ruth said, Intreat me not to leave thee, or to return from following after thee: for whither thou goest, I will go; and where thou lodgest, I will lodge: thy people shall be my people, and thy God my God:Ruth said, “Don’t urge me to leave you, and to return from following you, for where you go, I will go; and where you stay, I will stay. Your people will be my people, and your God my God.
17Where thou diest, will I die, and there will I be buried: the LORD do so to me, and more also, if ought but death part thee and me.Where you die, I will die, and there I will be buried. May Yahweh do so to me, and more also, if anything but death parts you and me.”
18When she saw that she was stedfastly minded to go with her, then she left speaking unto her.When Naomi saw that she was determined to go with her, she stopped urging her.
