Bring charges against me before the Lord and his anointed: Whose ox or donkey have I taken?(C1) Whom have I wronged or mistreated? From whom have I accepted a bribe to overlook something?(F1)(F2)(C2) I will return it to you.”
3 Here I am: witness against me before the LORD, and before his anointed: whose ox have I taken? or whose donkey have I taken? or whom have I defrauded? whom have I oppressed? or of whose hand have I taken a ransom to blind my eyes therewith? and I will restore it you.3 Behold, here I am: witness against me before the Lord, and before his anointed: whose ox have I taken? or whose ass have I taken? or whom have I defrauded? whom have I oppressed? or of whose hand have I received any bribe to blind mine eyes therewith? and I will restore it you. 3 Here I am!

Did I hurt or cheat anyone? Did I ever secretly accept money to pretend not to see something wrong? If I did any of these things, I will make it right." 3 Here I am. Bring a charge against me before the Lord and before his chosen king. Whose ox have I taken? Whose donkey have I taken? Whom have I wronged? Whom have I oppressed? From whose hand have I taken a bribe so that I would overlook something? Tell me, and I will return it to you!"3 "Here I am; testify against me before the LORD and Saul (C1)His anointed if I have done someone wrong. (C2)Whose ox have I taken, or whose donkey have I taken, or whom have I exploited? Whom have I oppressed or (C3)from whose hand have I taken a bribe to blind my eyes to the truth? Tell me and I will restore it to you."3 "Here I am; testify against me before the LORD and (C1)His anointed. (C2)Whose ox have I taken, or whose donkey have I taken, or whom have I exploited?

3 Let me ask this. Have I ever taken anyone's ox or donkey or forced you to give me anything? Have I ever hurt anyone or taken a bribe to give an unfair decision? Answer me so the Lord and his chosen king can hear you. And if I have done any of these things, I will give it all back. 3 So here I am; now is the time to witness against me before Adonai and before his anointed king. Does any of you think I have taken your ox or donkey, defrauded or oppressed you, or accepted a bribe to deprive you of justice? Tell me, and I will restore it to you."

Whose ox have I taken? or whose ass have I taken? or whom have I defrauded? whom have I injured? or of whose hand have I received any ransom and blinded mine eyes therewith? and I will restore it to you. 3 Here I am. If I have done anything wrong, you must tell these things to the Lord and his chosen king.[a] Did I steal anyone's ox or donkey? Did I hurt or cheat anyone? Did I ever take money, or even a pair of sandals, to do something wrong? If I did any of these things, I will make it right."3 Behold, I am standing before you; testify against me before the LORD and before his anointed; whose ox have I taken? Or whose ass have I taken? Or whom have I defrauded? Or whom have I oppressed? Or of whose hand have I taken a bribe to look upon him with favor? Tell me, and I will restore it to you. 3 (a)Here I am. If I have done anything wrong, accuse me now in the presence of the Lord and the king he has chosen. Have I taken anybody's cow or anybody's donkey? Have I cheated or oppressed anyone? Have I accepted a bribe from anyone? If I have done any of these things, I will pay back what I have taken."3 Behold, I am here! Testify against me before Jehovah and before His anointed: Whose ox have I taken, and whose ass have I taken, and whom have I offended? Whom have I crushed, and from whosehand have I taken a bribe that I might hidemy eyes with it; and I will give back to you.3 Beholde, here am I: answere ye agaynst me before the RORDE and his anoynted, yf I haue taken eny mans oxe or asse, yf I haue done eny man violence or wronge, If I haue oppressed eny ma, yf I haue receaued a gifte of eny mans hande, and kepte it secretly, I wil restore it you agayne. 3 Here I am: witness against me before Jehovah, and before his anointed: whose ox have I taken? or whose ass have I taken? or whom have I defrauded? whom have I oppressed? or of whose hand have I taken a [a]ransom [b]to blind mine eyes therewith? and I will restore it you. 3 Here I am: give witness against me before the Lord and before the man on whom he has put the holy oil: whose ox or ass have I taken? to whom have I been untrue? who has been crushed down by me? from whose hand have I taken a price for the blinding of my eyes? I will give it all back to you.3 Beholde here I am, beare recorde of me before the Lorde & before his annoynted: Whose oxe haue I taken? or whose asse haue I taken? whom haue I done wrong to?

Whom have I oppressed, or from whose hand have I received any bribe with which to blind my eyes? I will restore it to you." 3 Now testify against me in the presence of the Lord and before his anointed one. Whose ox or donkey have I stolen? Have I ever cheated any of you? Have I ever oppressed you? Have I ever taken a bribe and perverted justice? Tell me and I will make right whatever I have done wrong." 3 Here I am. Speak against me to the Lord and Saul His chosen one. Whose bull have I taken? Whose donkey have I taken? To whom have I not been honest? For whom have I made it hard? From whose hand have I taken pay for closing my eyes to the truth? I will return it to you." 3 Here I am; testify against me before the Lord and before his anointed. Whose ox have I taken?

And I restore [it] to you."3 "Here I am; bear witness against me before the LORD and (C1)His anointed. (C2)Whose ox have I taken, or whose donkey have I taken, or whom have I defrauded? Whom have I oppressed, or (C3)from whose hand have I taken a bribe to blind my eyes with it? I will restore it to you."
4 “You haven’t wronged us, you haven’t mistreated us, and you haven’t taken anything from anyone,” they responded.
4 They said, You have not defrauded us, nor oppressed us, neither have you taken anything of any man's hand.4 And they said, Thou hast not defrauded us, nor oppressed us, neither hast thou taken ought of any man's hand. 4 Then they said, "You have not exploited us or oppressed us, and you have not taken anything from the hand of anyone." 4 They said, "You have not defrauded us or oppressed us or taken anything from any man's hand."
4 The Israelites answered, "You have not cheated us, or hurt us, or taken anything unfairly from anyone."
4 They replied, "You have not wronged us or oppressed us. You have not taken anything from the hand of anyone." 4 They said, "You have not exploited us or oppressed us or taken anything at all from a man's hand."4 And they said, "You have not exploited us or oppressed us, or taken anything from anyone's hand."4 Then they sayde, Thou hast done vs no wrong, nor hast hurt vs, neither hast thou taken ought of any mans hand.4 And they said, "You have not extorted us or oppressed us or taken anything from any man's hand."
4 "No," the Israelites answered. "You've never cheated us in any way!" 4 They answered, "You haven't defrauded or oppressed us, and you have accepted nothing from anyone."
4 And they said, Thou hast not defrauded us, and thou hast not injured us, neither hast thou taken aught of any man's hand.
4 The Israelites answered, "No, you never did anything bad to us. You never cheated us or took things from us."4 And they said to him, You have not defrauded us nor oppressed us, neither have you taken anything from any one of us.
4 The people answered, "No, you have not cheated us or oppressed us; you have not taken anything from anyone."4 And they said, You have not oppressed us, and you have not crushed us, and you have not taken from the hand of any man.4 They saide: Thou hast done vs nether violence ner wronge, nether oppressed, ner taken ought of eny mans hande. 4 And they said, Thou hast not defrauded us, nor oppressed us, neither hast thou taken aught of any man's hand. 4 And they said, You have never been untrue to us or cruel to us; you have taken nothing from any man.4 They sayde: Thou hast done vs no wrong, nor hurt vs, neither hast thou taken ought of any mans hande.4 And they said: 'Thou hast not defrauded us, nor oppressed us, neither hast thou taken aught of any man's hand.'4 And they said, Thou hast not defrauded vs, nor oppressed vs, neither hast thou taken ought of any mans hand. 4 And they said to Samuel, Thou hast not injured us, and thou hast not oppressed us; and thou hast not afflicted us, and thou hast not taken anything from any one’s hand. 4 And they said, Thou hast not defrauded us, nor oppressed us, neither hast thou taken aught of any man’s hand. 4 “You have not wronged us or oppressed us,” they replied, “nor have you taken anything from the hand of man.”4 And thei seiden, Thou hast not falsly chalengid vs, nether hast oppressid vs, nether hast take ony thing of `the hond of ony man.4 And they say, `Thou hast not oppressed us, nor hast thou crushed us, nor hast thou taken from the hand of any one anything.'4 And they said, You haven't defrauded us, nor oppressed us, neither have you taken anything of any man's hand.4 And they said thou hast not defrauded us, nor oppressed us, neither hast thou taken aught from any man's hand.4 They said, You have not defrauded us, nor oppressed us, neither have you taken anything of any man's hand. 4 And they said, "You have not cheated us or oppressed us, nor have you taken anything from any man's hand."
4 "No," they replied, "you have never cheated or oppressed us, and you have never taken even a single bribe." 4 They said, "You have always been honest with us. You have not made it hard for us, or taken anything from any man's hand." 4 They said, "You have not defrauded us or oppressed us or taken anything from the hand of anyone." 4 And they said, Thou hast not oppressed us, neither hast thou crushed us, - neither hast thou taken, at the hand of any man, any thing.4 And they said: Thou hast not wronged us, nor oppressed us, nor taken ought at any man’s hand.4 They said, "You have not defrauded us or oppressed us or taken anything from any man's hand."4 And they say, "You have not oppressed us, nor have you crushed us, nor have you taken anything from the hand of anyone."
4 "Oh no," they said, "never. You've never done any of that—never abused us, never lined your own pockets."4 They said, "You have not defrauded us or oppressed us or taken anything from any man's hand."
5 He said to them, “The Lord is a witness against you, and his anointed is a witness today that you haven’t found anything(C1) in my hand.”(C2)
5 He said to them, the LORD is witness against you, and his anointed is witness this day, that you have not found anything in my hand. They said, He is witness.5 And he said unto them, The Lord is witness against you, and his anointed is witness this day, that ye have not found ought in my hand.
