2 Samuel 19:35
I am eighty years old, today. Can I discern between good and bad? Can your servant taste what I eat or what I drink? Can I hear the voice of singing men and singing women any more? Why then should your servant be a burden to my lord the king?2 Samuel 19:35 · WEB

- હું એંશી વર્ષનો થયો છું. શું હું સારા કે નરસાને પારખી શકું છું? હું જે ખાઉં કે પીઉં તેનો સ્વાદ માણી શકું છું? શું હું ગીત ગાનાર પુરુષો કે સ્ત્રીઓનો અવાજ સાંભળી શકું છું? તો પછી શા માટે મેં તારા ચાકરે માલિક રાજાને બોજારૂપ થવું જોઈએ?
- हिन्दी — 2 शमूएल १९:३५
- आज मैं अस्सी वर्ष का हूँ; क्या मैं भले बुरे का विवेक कर सकता हूँ? क्या तेरा दास जो कुछ खाता पीता है उसका स्वाद पहचान सकता है? क्या मुझे गायकों या गायिकाओं का शब्द अब सुन पड़ता है? तेरा दास अब अपने स्वामी राजा के लिये क्यों बोझ का कारण हो?
