Da hoben sie ihre Stimme auf und weinten noch mehr. Und Opra küßte ihre Schwiegermutter; Ruth aber blieb bei ihr.
Mas ellas alzando otra vez su voz, lloraron: y Orpha besó a su suegra, mas Ruth se quedó con ella.
Ellas volvieron a alzar la voz y lloraron. Orfa besó a su suegra, pero Rut se aferró a ella.
Et elles élevèrent la voix, et pleurèrent encore. Orpa baisa sa belle-mère, mais Ruth s'attacha à elle.
Allora esse alzarono la voce, e piansero di nuovo. E Orpa baciò la sua suocera; ma Rut restò appresso di lei.
Então levantaram a sua voz, e tornaram a chorar; e Orfa beijou a sua sogra, porém Rute se apegou a ela.
兩個媳婦又放聲大哭, 俄珥巴 與婆婆吻別,但是 路得 卻緊跟著 拿娥米 。
