Ruth's Loyalty to Naomi

16 And Ruth said to her, Far be it from me to return from following after you, and to leave you; for where you go, I will go; and where you dwell, I will dwell; your people shall be my people, and your God my God: 17 Where you die, I will die, and there will I be buried; may the LORD do so to me, and more also, if even death can separate me from you.

16 Pero Rut dijo: No insistas que te deje o que deje de seguirte; porque adonde tú vayas, iré yo, y donde tú mores, moraré. Tu pueblo será mi pueblo, y tu Dios mi Dios. 17 Donde tú mueras, allí moriré, y allí seré sepultada. Así haga el SEÑOR conmigo, y aún peor, si algo, excepto la muerte, nos separa. — Ruth 1:16-17 | Lamsa Bible (LAMB) and La Biblia de las Américas (LBLA) Holy Bible From The Ancient Eastern Texts: Aramaic Of The Peshitta by George M.
