ગુજરાતીરૂથ ૧:૧૩
તેથી તમે શું તેઓ પુખ્ત ઉંમરના થાય ત્યાં સુધી તમારે રાહ જોવાની હોય? શું તમે અત્યારે ફરીથી પુરુષો સાથે લગ્ન નહિ કરો? ના, મારી દીકરીઓ! તમને દુઃખ થાય તે કરતા મને વધારે દુઃખ છે કેમ કે ઈશ્વરનો હાથ મારી વિરુદ્ધ થયો છે.”
हिन्दीरूत १:१३
तो भी क्या तुम उनके सयाने होने तक आशा लगाए ठहरी रहतीं? और उनके निमित्त पति करने से रुकी रहतीं? हे मेरी बेटियों, ऐसा न हो, क्योंकि मेरा दुःख तुम्हारे दुःख से बहुत बढ़कर है; देखो, यहोवा का हाथ मेरे विरुद्ध उठा है।”

In context

11Naomi said, “Go back, my daughters. Why do you want to go with me? Do I still have sons in my womb, that they may be your husbands?

12Go back, my daughters, go your way; for I am too old to have a husband. If I should say, ‘I have hope,’ if I should even have a husband tonight, and should also bear sons,

13would you then wait until they were grown? Would you then refrain from having husbands? No, my daughters, for it grieves me seriously for your sakes, for the LORD’s hand has gone out against me.”

14They lifted up their voices and wept again; then Orpah kissed her mother-in-law, but Ruth stayed with her.

15She said, “Behold, your sister-in-law has gone back to her people and to her god. Follow your sister-in-law.”
