But David again vowed, “Your father knows very well that I have found favor in your eyes, and he has said, ‘Jonathan must not know of this, or he will be grieved.’ As surely as the LORD lives and as you yourself live, there is but a step between me and death.”

And David swore moreover, and said, Thy father knows well that I have found favor in thine eyes, and he says, Let not Jonathan know this, lest he be grieved. But truly as Jehovah lives, and as thy soul lives, there is but a step between me and death.

And David sware moreover, and said, Thy father knoweth well that I have found favor in thine eyes; and he saith, Let not Jonathan know this, lest he be grieved: but truly as Jehovah liveth, and as thy soul liveth, there is but a step between me and death.

But David took his oath again and said, Your father sees that I am dear to you; so he says to himself, Let Jonathan have no idea of this, for it will be a grief to him; but as the Lord is living, and as your soul is living, there is only a step between me and death.

And David answered Jonathan, and said, Thy father knows surely that I have found grace in thy sight, and he said, Let not Jonathan know this, lest he refuse his consent: but as the Lord lives and thy soul lives, as I said, the space is filled up between me and death.

And David answered Jonathan, and said, Your father knows surely that I have found grace in your sight, and he said, Let not Jonathan know this, lest he refuse his consent: but as the Lord lives and your soul lives, as I said, the space is filled up between me and death.

And he swore again to David. And David said: “Your father certainly knows that I have found favor in your sight, and so he will say, ‘Let Jonathan not know this, lest he be saddened.’ So truly, as the Lord lives, and as your soul lives, there is only one step (if I may say it) separating me from death.”

And David swore again and again, and said, Thy father certainly knows that I have found favour in thy sight: and he has thought, Jonathan shall not know this, lest he be grieved; but truly [as] Jehovah liveth, and [as] thy soul liveth, there is but a step between me and death.

And he swore again to David. And David said: Thy father certainly knoweth that I have found grace in thy sight, and he will say: Let not Jonathan know this, lest he be grieved. But truly as the Lord liveth, and thy soul liveth, there is but one step (as I may say) between me and death.

And David swears again and says, “Your father has certainly known that I have found grace in your eyes, and he says, Do not let Jonathan know this, lest he is grieved; and yet, YHWH lives, and your soul lives, but—as a step between me and death.”

But David swore an oath again, saying, “Your father knows very well that I'm your friend, and so he's told himself, ‘Jonathan can't find out about this, otherwise he'll be really upset.’ I swear on the life of the Lord, and on your own life, my life is hanging by a thread.”

And Dauid sware againe and sayd, Thy father knoweth that I haue found grace in thine eyes: therefore he thinketh, Ionathan shall not knowe it, lest he be sorie: but in deede, as the Lord liueth, and as thy soule liueth, there is but a step betweene me and death.

And David swore moreover, and said: 'Thy father knoweth well that I have found favour in thine eyes; and he saith: Let not Jonathan know this, lest he be grieved; but truly as the LORD liveth, and as thy soul liveth, there is but a step between me and death.'

And David sware moreover, and said, Thy father certainly knoweth that I have found grace in thine eyes; and he saith, Let not Jonathan know this, lest he be grieved: but truly as the Lord liveth, and as thy soul liveth, there is but a step between me and death.

And David sware moreover, and said, Thy father certainly knoweth that I have found grace in thine eyes; and he saith, Let not Jonathan know this, lest he be grieved: but truly as the LORD liveth, and as thy soul liveth, there is but a step between me and death.

But David swore again, and said, Thy father well knoweth that I have found grace in thy eyes; wherefore he said, Jonathan must not know this, lest he be grieved: nevertheless, as truly as the Lord liveth, and thy soul liveth, there was but one step between me and death.

David swore moreover, and said, "Your father knows well that I have found favor in your eyes; and he says, 'Do not 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."

But David said, “Listen. Let God punish me if what I said is not true. Your father knows that you and I are close friends. We are also brothers-in-law. He might think like this, ‘I can’t tell my son. He might get upset.’ No, listen to me. God is listening, so I can’t tell lies. Today I might die.”

And David sware moreover, and said, Thy father knoweth well that I have found grace in thine eyes; and he saith, Let not Jonathan know this, lest he be grieved: but truly as the LORD liveth, and as thy soul liveth, there is but a step between me and death.

And David swore moreover, and said, Thy father certainly knoweth that I have found grace in thy eyes; and he saith, Let not Jonathan know this, lest he should be grieved: but truly as the LORD liveth, and as thy soul liveth, there is but a step between me and death.

But David sware yet further, and said—Thy father, doth know, that I have found favour in thine eyes, therefore saith he,—Do not let Jonathan know this, lest he grieve; but, indeed, by the life of God, and by the life of thine own soul, surely there is but as it were a step betwixt me and death!

And Dovid took an oath, moreover, and said, Avicha certainly knoweth that I have found chen in thine eyes; and he saith, Let not Yonatan know this, lest he be grieved; but truly as Hashem liveth, and as thy nefesh liveth, there is hardly a peysah (step) between me and mavet.

Then David solemnly declared this to Jonathan: “Your father knows very well that you and I are very good friends, so he says to himself, ‘I will not tell Jonathan what I am going to do. If I tell Jonathan, he will be upset/distressed, and then he will tell David.’ But just as certain as God lives and you live, I am only one step away from being killed.”

Then David solemnly declared this to Jonathan: "Your father knows very well that you and I are very good friends, so he says to himself, 'I will not tell Jonathan what I am going to do. If I tell Jonathan, he will be upset, and then he will tell David.' But just as surely as God is alive and you are alive, I am only one step away from being killed."

And David swore moreover, and said, Your father certainly knows that I have found grace in your eyes; and he says, Let not 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.

And David swore moreover, and said, Thy father certainly knoweth that I have found grace in thy eyes; and he saith, Let not Jonathan know this, lest he should be grieved: But truly as the LORD liveth, and as thy soul liveth, there is but a step between me and death.

David 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.”

David swore moreover, and said, “Your father knows well that I have found favour 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.”

And eft he swoor to Dauid. And Dauid seide, Treuli thi fadir woot, that Y haue founde grace `in thin iyen, and he schal seie, Jonathas wite not this, lest perauenture he be sory; certis the Lord lyueth, `and thi soule lyueth, for, that Y seie so, Y and deeth ben departid oneli bi o degree.

And David sweareth again, and saith, 'Thy father hath certainly known that I have found grace in thine eyes, and he saith, Let not Jonathan know this, lest he be grieved; and yet, Jehovah liveth, and thy soul liveth, but — as a step between me and death.'

And David swore besides and said, “Knowing, your father knows that I have found favor in your eyes. So he said, ‘May Jonathan not know this, lest he be grieved.’ But indeed, the life of God, and the life of your soul, surely like a step {is} between me and between death!”

Then David solemnly declared this to Jonathan: “Your father knows very well that you and I are very good friends, so he says to himself, ‘I will not tell Jonathan what I am going to do. If I tell Jonathan, he will be upset, and then he will tell David.’ But I swear by God and I swear by your own life that your father is just about to kill me.” \*

Yet David vowed again and said, “Your father knows well that I have found favor in your eyes. He has said, 'Do not let Jonathan know this, or he will be grieved.' But as truly as God lives, and as you live, there is but a step between me and death.”

তাতে দায়ূদ আবার দিব্যি করে বললেন, “তোমার বাবা খুব ভাল করেই জানেন যে, আমি তোমার দৃষ্টিতে অনুগ্রহ পেয়েছি। তাই হয়তো তিনি মনে মনে ভেবেছেন, যোনাথনকে এই বিষয়ে না জানানোই ভাল, যদি সে দুঃখ পায়। কিন্তু জীবন্ত সদাপ্রভুর দিব্যি এবং তোমার প্রাণের দিব্যি দিয়ে আমি বলছি যে, মৃত্যু আমার কাছ থেকে মাত্র এক পা দূরে।”

Pero David volvió a jurar diciendo: "Tu padre sabe muy bien que he hayado favor ante tus ojos. Y ha dicho: 'No dejen que Jonatán sepa esto, porque se entristecerá.' Pero tan cierto como vive el SEÑOR, y como vives tú, hay solo un paso entre la muerte y yo."

फिर दाऊद ने शपथ खाकर कहा, “तेरा पिता निश्चय जानता है कि तेरे अनुग्रह की दृष्टि मुझ पर है; और वह सोचता होगा, कि योनातान इस बात को न जानने पाए, ऐसा न हो कि वह खेदित हो जाए। परन्तु यहोवा के जीवन की शपथ और तेरे जीवन की शपथ, निःसन्देह, मेरे और मृत्यु के बीच डग ही भर का अन्तर है।”

Jawab Daud, “Ayahmu tahu mengenai persahabatan kita. Itu sebabnya dia tidak akan memberitahukannya kepadamu, supaya tidak menyakiti hatimu. Aku menyatakan di hadapan TUHAN yang hidup dan di hadapanmu bahwa aku sudah sangat dekat dengan kematian.”

ダビデはさらに誓って言った。「あなたの父は、わたしがあなたの目に恵みを得ていることをよく知っています。それで彼は、『ヨナタンが悲しまないように、彼にこれを知らせないようにしよう』と言っているのです。しかし、主が生きておられ、あなたが生きているのと同じほど確かに、わたしと死との間には一歩しかありません。」

Pero David volvió a jurar: Tu padre sabe muy bien que me tienes cariño y piensa: Jonatán no debe saber esto porque le causaría dolor. Pero tan cierto como que vive el Señor y que tú vives, solo hay un paso entre la muerte y yo.

मग दावीद शपथ वाहून म्हणाला, “तुझी कृपादृष्टी माझ्यावर आहे हे तुझा बाप खचित जाणतो; म्हणून तो म्हणतो, हे योनाथानाला कळू नये कळले तर त्यास दुःख होईल; परंतु खरोखर परमेश्वर जिवंत आहे व तुझा जीव जिवंत आहे माझा जीव मरणापासून केवळ पावलांच्या अंतरावर आहे.”

Y David volvió a jurar, diciendo: Tu padre sabe claramente, que yo he hallado gracia delante de tus ojos: y dirá en sí: No sepa esto Jonatán, porque no haya pesar: y ciertamente vive Jehová, y vive tu alma, que apenas hay un paso entre mí y la muerte.

Pero David le juró: “Tu padre sabe muy bien que tú me quieres mucho, y por eso habrá pensado: “Que Jonatán no se entere de esto, para que no sufra”. Pero te juro por Yahvé y por tu propia vida, que estoy a un paso de la muerte”.

Pero David volvió a jurárselo: Tu padre sabe claramente que hallé gracia ante ti, y se dijo: Que Jonatán no sepa esto, no sea que se disguste. Pero tan cierto como vive Yavé y vive tu alma, escasamente hay un paso entre mí y la muerte.

Pero David volvió a jurar: “Tu padre sabe muy bien que soy tu amigo, y por eso seguro ha pensado: ‘Jonatán no puede enterarse de esto, porque si no se enfadará mucho’. Te juro por la vida del Señor, y por tu propia vida, que mi vida pende de un hilo”.

Además, David juró y dijo: “Tu padre sabe bien que he hallado gracia ante tus ojos, y dirá: «No lo sepa Jonatán, para que no se aflija»; pero en verdad, vive el Señor y vive tu alma, que solo hay un paso entre yo y la muerte”.

―¡Por supuesto que tú no lo sabes! —dijo David—. Tu padre sabe perfectamente bien la amistad que nos une, y seguramente ha pensado: “No se lo diré a Jonatán. ¿Para qué afligirlo?”. Pero la verdad es que estoy a un paso de la muerte; lo juro por el Señor y por tu propia alma.

Bado Daudi aliapa tena na akasema, “Baba yako anajua wazi kwamba nimepata kibali machoni pako. Pengine anasema, 'Asije Yonathani akajua jambo hili, labda atahuzunika.' Lakini kweli kama BWANA aishivyo, kama wewe uishivyo, kuna hatua moja tu kati yangu na mauti.”

அப்பொழுது தாவீது: உம்முடைய கண்களில் எனக்குத் தயை கிடைத்தது என்று உம்முடைய தகப்பன் நன்றாக அறிவார்; ஆகையால் யோனத்தானுக்கு மனவருத்தம் உண்டாகாதபடி அவன் இதை அறியக்கூடாது என்பார்; மரணத்திற்கும் எனக்கும் ஒரு அடி தூரம் மாத்திரம் இருக்கிறது என்று யெகோவாவுடைய ஜீவனையும் உம்முடைய ஜீவனையும் கொண்டு நிச்சயமாய்ச் சொல்லுகிறேன் என்று பதில் சொல்லி ஆணையிட்டான்.

దావీదు “నేను నీకు అనుకూలంగా ఉన్న విషయం మీ తండ్రికి బాగా తెలుసు కాబట్టి నీకు బాధ కలిగించడం ఇష్టంలేక నీకు చెప్పడం లేదు. యెహోవా మీద ఒట్టు, నీ మీద ఒట్టు, నిజంగా నాకూ, మరణానికి ఒక్క అడుగు దూరం మాత్రమే ఉంది” అని ప్రమాణపూర్తిగా చెప్పాడు.

तब दाऊद ने क़सम खाकर कहा कि तेरे बाप को अच्छी तरह मा'लूम है, कि मुझ पर तेरे करम की नज़र है इस लिए वह सोचता होगा, कि यूनतन को यह मा'लूम न हो नहीं तो वह दुखी होगा लेकिन यक़ीनन ख़ुदावन्द की हयात और तेरी जान की क़सम मुझ में और मौत में सिर्फ़ एक ही क़दम का फ़ासला है।
