ગુજરાતી1 શમુએલ ૨૦:૫
દાઉદે યોનાથાનને કહ્યું, “જો કાલે અમાસ છે, મારે રાજાની સાથે ભોજન પર બેસવા સિવાય ચાલે એમ નથી. પણ મને જવા દે, કે જેથી ત્રીજા દિવસની સાંજ સુધી હું ખેતરમાં સંતાઈ રહું.
हिन्दी1 शमूएल २०:५
दाऊद ने योनातान से कहा, “सुन कल नया चाँद होगा, और मुझे उचित है कि राजा के साथ बैठकर भोजन करूँ; परन्तु तू मुझे विदा कर, और मैं परसों साँझ तक मैदान में छिपा रहूँगा।

In context

3David swore moreover, and said, “Your father knows well that I have found favor in your eyes; and he says, ‘Don’t let Jonathan know this, lest he be grieved;’ but truly as the LORD lives, and as your soul lives, there is but a step between me and death.”

4Then Jonathan said to David, “Whatever your soul desires, I will even do it for you.”

5David said to Jonathan, “Behold, tomorrow is the new moon, and I should not fail to dine with the king; but let me go, that I may hide myself in the field to the third day at evening.

6If your father misses me at all, then say, ‘David earnestly asked leave of me that he might run to Bethlehem, his city; for it is the yearly sacrifice there for all the family.’

7If he says, ‘It is well,’ your servant shall have peace; but if he is angry, then know that evil is determined by him.
