¿µ¾î¼º°æ
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.
King James
¿µ¾î¼º°æ
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.
Louis Second
ºÒ¾î¼º°æ
David dit encore, en jurant: Ton père sait bien que j'ai trouvé grâce à tes yeux, et il aura dit: Que Jonathan ne le sache pas; cela lui ferait de la peine. Mais l'Éternel est vivant et ton âme est vivante! il n'y a qu'un pas entre moi et la mort
Martin Luther
µ¶¾î¼º°æ
Da schwur David weiter und sprach: Dein Vater weiß wohl, daß ich Gnade vor deinen Augen funden habe, darum wird er denken: Jonathan soll solches nicht wissen, es möchte ihn bekümmern. Wahrlich, so wahr der HErr lebet, und so wahr deine Seele lebet, es ist nur ein Schritt zwischen mir und dem Tode!
Vulgate
¶óƾ¾î¼º°æ
et iuravit rursum David et ille ait scit profecto pater tuus quia inveni gratiam in oculis tuis et dicet nesciat hoc Ionathan ne forte tristetur quinimmo vivit Dominus et vivit anima tua quia uno tantum ut ita dicam gradu ego morsque dividimur
