Now therefore, my lord, as Jehovah liveth, and as thy soul liveth, seeing Jehovah hath withholden thee from bloodguiltiness, and from avenging thyself with thine own hand, now therefore let thine enemies, and them that seek evil to my lord, be as Nabal.

So now, my lord, by the living God and by your living soul, seeing that the Lord has kept you from the crime of blood and from taking into your hands the punishment for your wrongs, may all your haters, and those who would do evil to my lord, be like Nabal.

Τωρα λοιπον, κυριε μου, ζη Κυριος και ζη η ψυχη σου, ο Κυριος βεβαιως σε εκρατησεν απο του να εμβης εις αιμα και να εκδικηθης δια της χειρος σου· τωρα δε οι εχθροι σου και οι ζητουντες κακον εις τον κυριον μου, ας ηναι ως ο Ναβαλ.

Now therefore, my lord, as the Lord liveth, and as thy soul liveth, seeing the Lord hath withholden thee from coming to shed blood, and from avenging thyself with thine own hand, now let thine enemies, and they that seek evil to my lord, be as Nabal.
