ULT And Saul said to Yahweh the God of Israel, “Give a perfect one!” And Jonathan and Saul were taken, but the people went out.

BBE Then Saul said to the Lord, the God of Israel, Why have you not given me an answer today?

BrLXX Καὶ εἶπε Σαοὺλ, Κύριε ὁ Θεὸς Ἰσραὴλ, τί ὅτι οὐκ ἀπεκρίθης τῷ δούλῳ σου σήμερον; εἰ ἐν ἐμοὶ ἢ ἐν Ἰωνάθαν τῷ υἱῷ μου ἡ ἀδικία; Κύριε ὁ Θεὸς Ἰσραὴλ, δὸς δήλους· καὶ ἐὰν τάδε εἴπῃ, δὸς δὴ τῷ λαῷ σου Ἰσραὴλ, δὸς δὴ ὁσιότητα· καὶ κληροῦται Ἰωνάθαν καὶ Σαούλ, καὶ ὁ λαὸς ἐξῆλθε.
(Kai eipe Saʼoul, Kurie ho Theos Israaʸl, ti hoti ouk apekrithaʸs tōi doulōi sou saʸmeron? ei en emoi aʸ en Yōnathan tōi huiōi mou haʸ adikia? Kurie ho Theos Israaʸl, dos daʸlous; kai ean tade eipaʸ, dos daʸ tōi laōi sou Israaʸl, dos daʸ hosiotaʸta; kai klaʸroutai Yōnathan kai Saoul, kai ho laos exaʸlthe. )
14:41 Casting sacred lots involved the Urim and Thummim (Exod 28:30; Lev 8:8), which David also used when soliciting God’s guidance (1 Sam 23:2; 30:8; 2 Sam 2:1). The Urim and Thummim were two small objects (perhaps flat stones, sticks, or arrows) that may have been cast like dice. They would provide a positive answer, a neutral response, or a negative answer.

(Some words not found in UHB: and=he/it_said Shāʼūl to/towards YHWH god Yisrael come=now! perfectly and,taken Yōnātān and,Saul and,the,people cleared )
The Israelites at that time used special stones called the Urim and the Thummim to receive direction from God. Alternate translation: “Show us by means of the Thummim”
Note 2 topic: translate-transliterate
(Occurrence 0) Thummim
(Some words not found in UHB: and=he/it_said Shāʼūl to/towards YHWH god Yisrael come=now! perfectly and,taken Yōnātān and,Saul and,the,people cleared )
This is a borrowed word from the original language.

(Some words not found in UHB: and=he/it_said Shāʼūl to/towards YHWH god Yisrael come=now! perfectly and,taken Yōnātān and,Saul and,the,people cleared )
If your language does not use the passive form in this way, you can state this in active form or in another way that is natural in your language. Alternate translation: “The lots indicated that either Jonathan or Saul was guilty, but the army was not guilty”
