ગુજરાતી1 શમુએલ ૨૦:૮
માટે તારા સેવક સાથે નમ્રતાથી વ્યવહાર કર. કેમ કે તેં તારા સેવકને તારી સાથે ઈશ્વરના કરારમાં લીધો છે. પણ જો મારામાં કંઈ પાપ હોય, તો તું મને મારી નાખ; મને તારા પિતા પાસે શા માટે લઈ જાય છે?”
हिन्दी1 शमूएल २०:८
और तू अपने दास से कृपा का व्यवहार करना, क्योंकि तूने यहोवा की शपथ खिलाकर अपने दास को अपने साथ वाचा बँधाई है। परन्तु यदि मुझसे कुछ अपराध हुआ हो, तो तू आप मुझे मार डाल; तू मुझे अपने पिता के पास क्यों पहुँचाए?”

In context

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.

8Therefore deal kindly with your servant, for you have brought your servant into a covenant of the LORD with you; but if there is iniquity in me, kill me yourself, for why should you bring me to your father?”

9Jonathan said, “Far be it from you; for if I should at all know that evil were determined by my father to come on you, then wouldn’t I tell you that?”

10Then David said to Jonathan, “Who will tell me if your father answers you roughly?”
