La Bible Ostervald (1996)
Où tu mourras je mourrai, et j'y serai ensevelie. Que l'Éternel me traite avec la dernière rigueur, si autre chose que la mort me sépare de toi!
Louis Segond (1910)
où tu mourras je mourrai, et j'y serai enterrée. Que l'Eternel me traite dans toute sa rigueur, si autre chose que la mort vient à me séparer de toi!
La Bible David Martin (1744)
Là où tu mourras, je mourrai, et j'y serai ensevelie. Ainsi me fasse l'Eternel et ainsi y ajoute, qu'il n'y aura que la mort qui me sépare de toi.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

Where thou diest will I die, and there will I be buried,.... She was determined to abide with her unto death, and not only was desirous to die as she did, but where she should die; in the same country, cottage, and bed, and be laid in the same grave, in hope of rising together at the resurrection of the just; having no regard at all to the sepulchres of her fathers, which people in all ages and countries have been fond of being laid in, as an honour and happiness. So with the Greeks and Romans, not only relations, but intimate friends, and such as had a strong affection for each other, were sometimes buried in the same grave, as Crates and Polemon i, Paris and Oenome k, and others l; see Galatians 2:20,

the Lord do so to me, and more also, if ought but death part thee and me; this is the form of oath she used for confirmation of what she had said, and to put an end to the debate on this subject; what she imprecates upon herself is not expressed, should she otherwise do than what she swears to; leaving Naomi to supply it in her own mind, and as being what was not fit to be named, and the greatest evil that could be thought to befall a perjured person.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse Ruth 1:17. The Lord do so to me, and more — May he inflict any of those punishments on me, and any worse punishment, if I part from thee till death. And it appears that she was true to her engagement; for Naomi was nourished in the house of Boaz in her old age, and became the fosterer and nurse of their son Obed, Ruth 4:15-16.
