ગુજરાતી2 શમુએલ ૧૬:૧૯
વળી, હું કયા માણસની સેવા કરું? શું મારે તેના દીકરાની હજૂરમાં સેવા કરવી ન જોઈએ? જેમ મેં તારા પિતાની હજૂરમાં સેવા કરી હતી, તેમ હું તારી હજૂરમાં સેવા કરીશ.”
हिन्दी2 शमूएल १६:१९
और फिर मैं किसकी सेवा करूँ? क्या उसके पुत्र के सामने रहकर सेवा न करूँ? जैसा मैं तेरे पिता के सामने रहकर सेवा करता था, वैसा ही तेरे सामने रहकर सेवा करूँगा।”
