Lexham English Bible
13 So may Yahweh punish Jonathan and more[a] if my father decides to do you harm[b] and if I fail to disclose it to you[c] and send word to you that you can go safely. And may Yahweh be with you, as he has been with my father. 14 And not while I am still alive, will you not show the loyal love of Yahweh with me, that I may not die?[d] 15 And do not cut off your loyal love from my family[e] forever, not even when Yahweh exterminates[f] each of the enemies of David from the face of the earth.”

New International Version
13 But if my father intends to harm you, may the Lord deal with Jonathan, be it ever so severely,(A) if I do not let you know and send you away in peace. May the Lord be with(B) you as he has been with my father. 14 But show me unfailing kindness(C) like the Lord’s kindness as long as I live, so that I may not be killed, 15 and do not ever cut off your kindness from my family(D)—not even when the Lord has cut off every one of David’s enemies from the face of the earth.”
