ગુજરાતી1 શમુએલ ૧:૧૬
“તારી દાસી ખરાબ છે એવું માનીશ નહિ; કેમ કે હું અત્યાર સુધી અતિશય ચિંતા અને ગમગીનીમાં બોલતી રહેલી છું.”
हिन्दी1 शमूएल १:१६
अपनी दासी को ओछी स्त्री न जान, जो कुछ मैंने अब तक कहा है, वह बहुत ही शोकित होने और चिढ़ाई जाने के कारण कहा है।”

16Don’t consider your servant a wicked woman; for I have been speaking out of the abundance of my complaint and my provocation.”

18She said, “Let your servant find favor in your sight.” So the woman went her way and ate; and her facial expression wasn’t sad any more.
