And now hear, I pray thee, O my lord the king: let my supplication, I pray thee, be presented before thee, that thou cause me not to return to the house of Jonathan the scribe, lest I die there.

And now be pleased to give ear, O my lord the king; let my prayer for help come before you, and do not make me go back to the house of Jonathan the scribe, for fear that I may come to my death there.

δια τουτο ακουσον τωρα, παρακαλω, κυριε μου βασιλευ· ας γεινη δεκτη, παρακαλω, η δεησις μου ενωπιον σου· και μη με επαναστρεψης εις την οικιαν Ιωναθαν του γραμματεως, δια να μη αποθανω εκει.

Therefore hear now, I pray thee, O my lord the king: let my supplication, I pray thee, be accepted before thee; that thou cause me not to return to the house of Jonathan the scribe, lest I die there.
