Ruth 1:18-22
New King James Version
18 (A)When she saw that she [a]was determined to go with her, she stopped speaking to her.
19 Now the two of them went until they came to Bethlehem. And it happened, when they had come to Bethlehem, that (B)all the city was excited because of them; and the women said, (C)“Is this Naomi?”
20 But she said to them, “Do not call me [b]Naomi; call me [c]Mara, for the Almighty has dealt very bitterly with me. 21 I went out full, (D)and the Lord has brought me home again empty. Why do you call me Naomi, since the Lord has testified against me, and [d]the Almighty has afflicted me?”
22 So Naomi returned, and Ruth the Moabitess her daughter-in-law with her, who returned from the country of Moab. Now they came to Bethlehem (E)at the beginning of barley harvest.

Ruth 1:18-22
Young's Literal Translation
18 And she seeth that she is strengthening herself to go with her, and she ceaseth to speak unto her;
19 and they go both of them till their coming in to Beth-Lehem; and it cometh to pass at their coming in to Beth-Lehem, that all the city is moved at them, and they say, `Is this Naomi?'
20 And she saith unto them, `Call me not Naomi; call me Mara, for the Almighty hath dealt very bitterly to me,
21 I went out full, and empty hath Jehovah brought me back, why do ye call me Naomi, and Jehovah hath testified against me, and the Almighty hath done evil to me?'
22 And Naomi turneth back, and Ruth the Moabitess her daughter-in-law with her, who hath turned back from the fields of Moab, and they have come in to Beth-Lehem at the commencement of barley-harvest.
