The literal meaning is:
When French people are facing a situation where they have to prove their honesty, they typically use “Je le jure” or “Je jure” (I swear).
The real meaning is “I swear/promise that what I’m telling you is true“. So it’s generally a huge sign of engagement and proof that you really meant what you said.
Now, let’s see some examples!
You have a party tonight and your parents want you to come back home before midnight. You tell them “Ok” but they are still unsure that you will respect this engagement. To prove that you are sincere and that you are taking this promise seriously, you might say: “Je le jure” (I swear)
If you are swearing to someone and want to highlight that the promise is between you two, you can say: “Je te le jure” (I swear to you)
As long as whenever you are using it, you are keeping your promise, you will be more likely to be trusted when using it…
Also, if you want to ask someone if he/she is ready to swear something, you can ask: “Tu le jure ?” (Do you swear it?)
