大卫发誓说：“你父亲深知你恩待我，他为了不使你伤心，才瞒着你。但我凭永活的耶和华和你的性命起誓，我离死亡仅一步之遥！”

大卫再起誓说：“你父亲一定知道我在你眼中蒙恩，就心里想：‘不要让约拿单知道这事，免得他伤心。’可是，我指着永活的耶和华，又指着你的性命起誓，我离死只差一步。”

大衛回答說：『你父親準知道你跟我好；故此他心裏說：「不如不叫約拿單知道這事，恐怕他擔憂。」雖然如此，我指着永活的永恆主、也指着你的性命來起誓：我與死之間、只有一步之隔罷了。』

大衛又起誓說：「你父親深知我在你眼前蒙恩，就想：『不要讓約拿單知道這事，免得他憂傷。』然而我指著耶和華的永生和你的生命起誓：我離死只有一步！」

大衛誓曰、爾父明知我蒙爾恩、故曰、勿令約拿單知之、恐其憂戚、然我指維生之耶和華、及爾生命而誓、我離死地、僅一步耳、

But David took an oath and said,“ Your father knows very well that I have found favor in your eyes, and he has said to himself,‘ Jonathan must not know this or he will be grieved.’ Yet as surely as the Lord lives and as you live, there is only a step between me and death.”

But David strongly disagreed. He said,“ Your father knows very well that you are pleased with me. He has said to himself,‘ I don’t want Jonathan to know I’m planning to kill David. If he finds out, he’ll be very sad.’ But I’m very close to being killed. And that’s just as sure as the Lord and you are alive.”

But David vowed again, saying,“ Your father knows well that I have found favor in your eyes, and he thinks,‘ 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.”

Then David took an oath before Jonathan and said,“ Your father knows perfectly well about our friendship, so he has said to himself,‘ I won’t tell Jonathan— why should I hurt him?’ But I swear to you that I am only a step away from death! I swear it by the Lord and by your own soul!”

But David said,“ Your father certainly knows that I have found favor with you. He has said,‘ Jonathan must not know of this, or else he will be grieved.’” David also swore,“ As surely as the LORD lives and as you yourself live, there is but a step between me and death.”

Yet David vowed again, saying,“ Your father is well aware that I have found favor in your sight, and he has said,‘ Jonathan is not to know this, otherwise he will be worried.’ But indeed as the Lord lives and as your soul lives, there is just a step between me and death.”

Then David took an oath again, and said,“ Your father certainly knows that I have found favor in your eyes, and he has said,‘ 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.”

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 said,“ Your father certainly knows that you have come to look favorably on me. He has said,‘ Jonathan must not know of this, or else he will be grieved.’” David also swore,“ As surely as the Lord lives and as you yourself live, 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.

Taking an oath, David again said,“ Your father is very much aware of the fact that I have found favor with you, and he has thought,‘ Don’t let Jonathan know about this, or he will be upset.’ But as surely as the LORD lives and you live, there is about 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,‘ Don’t let Jonathan know this, lest he be grieved;’ but truly as Yahweh lives, and as your soul lives, there is but a step between me and death.”
