First, in plain English

She went to Moab with her husband Elimelech and their two sons during a famine, and all three men died there. Naomi told her Moabite daughters-in-law to go home, but Ruth would not leave her. Her bitterness turned to joy when Ruth married Boaz and had Obed, and Naomi helped raise him like her own.

Who this is

Naomi was an Israelite woman who moved to Moab with her husband Elimelech and two sons during a famine, and after all three men died, she urged her Moabite daughters-in-law to return to their own families rather than follow her back to Bethlehem. Ruth refused to leave her, and Naomi's bitterness at her losses turned to joy once Ruth married Boaz and gave birth to Obed, whom Naomi helped raise as if he were her own.
