ગુજરાતી1 શમુએલ ૨૬:૧૮
તેણે કહ્યું, “શા માટે મારા માલિક પોતાના સેવકની પાછળ લાગ્યા છે? મેં શું કર્યું છે? મારા હાથમાં શું દુષ્ટતા છે?

फिर उसने कहा, “मेरा प्रभु अपने दास का पीछा क्यों करता है? मैंने क्या किया है? और मुझसे कौन सी बुराई हुई है?

In context

16This thing isn’t good that you have done. As the LORD lives, you are worthy to die, because you have not kept watch over your lord, the LORD’s anointed. Now see where the king’s spear is, and the jar of water that was at his head.”

17Saul recognized David’s voice, and said, “Is this your voice, my son David?” David said, “It is my voice, my lord, O king.”

18He said, “Why does my lord pursue his servant? For what have I done? What evil is in my hand?

19Now therefore, please let my lord the king hear the words of his servant. If it is so that the LORD has stirred you up against me, let him accept an offering. But if it is the children of men, they are cursed before the LORD; for they have driven me out today that I shouldn’t cling to the LORD’s inheritance, saying, ‘Go, serve other gods!’

20Now therefore, don’t let my blood fall to the earth away from the presence of the LORD; for the king of Israel has come out to seek a flea, as when one hunts a partridge in the mountains.”
