I think that for modern usage the above will be quite suitable. More literal renditions sound 'quaint', and there really isn't any direct English equivalent that comes to my mind...
... except ...
... if we go back to more archaic English, we would find an equivalent phrase that matches perfectly: "swear unto me". However I think that is best left for use in the Bible, or perhaps in Shakespeare :-) but not for modern usage.
