And he said, Be it far from me, O Jehovah, that I should do this: shall I drink the blood of the men that went in jeopardy of their lives? therefore he would not drink it. These things did the three mighty men.

And he said, Far be it from me, O Lord, to do this; how may I take as my drink the life-blood of men who have put their lives in danger? So he would not take it. These things did the three great men of war.

και ειπε, Μη γενοιτο εις εμε, Κυριε, να πραξω τουτο· το αιμα των ανδρων, των πορευθεντων μετα κινδυνου της ζωης αυτων, να πιω εγω; Και δεν ηθελησε να πιη. Ταυτα εκαμον οι τρεις ισχυροι.

And he said, Be it far from me, O Lord, that I should do this: is not this the blood of the men that went in jeopardy of their lives? therefore he would not drink it. These things did these three mighty men.
