In the court scene of movies, the officer says as floows. What does last sentence mean?
Put your hand on the Bible, please.
Do you solemnly swear to tell the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth, so help you God?
I am a Japanese.

What she most likely meant is not that she neceassarily doesnt like you anymore, but she is not feeling "it" as in the relationship she once held with you. As crummy as it sounds, it would be dishonest and unfair for both of you to stay in a relationship where at least one of you isnt fully committed or as emotionally invested. In my eyes, she did you both a favor and ended things before things had the potential of getting more serious. She dodged a bullet as far as I can tell. Trust me, you didnt want to get strung along for longer than need be. The longer a relationship goes on when one or both partners is not as deeply emotionally tied to one another, the worse the breakup, and the harder it is to move on. Im not sure how long you two were together, but chances are you are a little hurt that things ended the way they did. Im sorry, but your best bet now is to move on if she clearly doesnt want a relationship with you. Try occupying yourself with something healthy. Think, a new hobby, or find ways to meet new people. If its ever meant to be with this girl it will happen later down the line and naturally at that. On the same token, you cant wait around on her to change her mind. Find someone who is "feeling it"! You will hold a much more happy and successful relationship if the feelings are mutual.

They are swearing that they will tell the truth, and using God as their witness. (No one would dare lie to God!!) So, anyone that doesn't tell the truth after swearing - in front of God - that they would, will need help! (Seriously. I'm not just making a joke out of your question, don't worry!)

"So help you god" means that only a higher power can do anything for you now, because the courts are going to have an unrestrained field day with you.

That if you do not tell the truth, may God punish you accordingly.

It basically refers to the fact that... you have gotten yourself in such bad situation that nothing else can help you now except God himself.

It means "if you are lying, may God have mercy on you"--ie, withhold punishment.
