说：“亚甲族哈米大他的儿子哈曼设谋传旨，要杀灭在王各省的犹大人。现今王若愿意，我若在王眼前蒙恩，王若以为美，若喜悦我，请王另下旨意，废除哈曼所传的那旨意。

她说：“王若是同意，我若是在王面前蒙恩，王若以为这事是对的，王若喜爱我，就请下旨，废除亚甲族哈米大他的儿子哈曼设计的谕文，就是他写下要消灭在王各省的犹大人的谕文。

她说：“如果王认为好，如果我在王面前蒙恩，如果这事在王面前合宜，如果我在王眼前蒙喜悦，就请王下旨撤回亚甲人哈米达塔的儿子哈曼所谋设的诏书，就是他写下要消灭王各省中犹太人的那诏书。

說：「亞甲族哈米大他的兒子哈曼設謀傳旨，要殺滅在王各省的猶大人。現今王若願意，我若在王眼前蒙恩，王若以為美，若喜悅我，請王另下旨意，廢除哈曼所傳的那旨意。

“ If it pleases the king,” she said,“ and if he regards me with favor and thinks it the right thing to do, and if he is pleased with me, let an order be written overruling the dispatches that Haman son of Hammedatha, the Agagite, devised and wrote to destroy the Jews in all the king’s provinces.

She said,“ King Xerxes, I hope you will think what I’m asking is the right thing to do. I hope you are pleased with me. If you are, and if it pleases you, let an order be written. Let it take the place of the messages Haman wrote. Haman was the son of Hammedatha, the Agagite. He planned to kill the Jews. He wrote orders to destroy us in all your territories.

And she said,“ If it please the king, and if I have found favor in his sight, and if the thing seems right before the king, and I am pleasing in his eyes, let an order be written to revoke the letters devised by Haman the Agagite, the son of Hammedatha, which he wrote to destroy the Jews who are in all the provinces of the king.

Esther said,“ If it please the king, and if I have found favor with him, and if he thinks it is right, and if I am pleasing to him, let there be a decree that reverses the orders of Haman son of Hammedatha the Agagite, who ordered that Jews throughout all the king’s provinces should be destroyed.

She said,“ If it pleases the king and I have found favor with him, if the matter seems right to the king and I am pleasing in his eyes, let a royal edict be written. Let it revoke the documents the scheming Haman son of Hammedatha the Agagite wrote to destroy the Jews who are in all the king’s provinces.

Then she said,“ If it pleases the king and if I have found favor before him, and the matter seems proper to the king and I am pleasing in his sight, let it be written to revoke the letters devised by Haman, the son of Hammedatha the Agagite, which he wrote to eliminate the Jews who are in all the king’s provinces.

and said,“ If it pleases the king, and if I have found favor in his sight and the thing seems right to the king and I am pleasing in his eyes, let it be written to revoke the letters devised by Haman, the son of Hammedatha the Agagite, which he wrote to annihilate the Jews who are in all the king’s provinces.

And she said, If it please the king, and if I have found favor in his sight, and the thing seem right before the king, and I be pleasing in his eyes, let it be written to reverse the letters devised by Haman, the son of Hammedatha the Agagite, which he wrote to destroy the Jews that are in all the king’s provinces:

She said,“ If it pleases the king, and I have found approval before him, if the matter seems right to the king and I am pleasing in his sight, let a royal edict be written. Let it revoke the documents the scheming Haman son of Hammedatha the Agagite, wrote to destroy the Jews who are in all the king’s provinces.

And said, If it please the king, and if I have found favour in his sight, and the thing[ seem] right before the king, and I[ be] pleasing in his eyes, let it be written to reverse the letters devised by Haman the son of Hammedatha the Agagite, which he wrote to destroy the Jews which[ are] in all the king’s provinces:

She said,“ If the king is so inclined and if I have met with his approval and if the matter is agreeable to the king and if I am attractive to him, let an edict be written rescinding those recorded intentions of Haman the son of Hammedatha, the Agagite, which he wrote in order to destroy the Jews who are throughout all the king’s provinces.

She said,“ If it pleases the king, and if I have found favor in his sight, and the thing seem right to the king, and I am pleasing in his eyes, let it be written to reverse the letters devised by Haman, the son of Hammedatha the Agagite, which he wrote to destroy the Jews who are in all the king’s provinces.

王后以斯帖回答，說：“我若是在你眼前蒙恩，王若是喜歡，我所要的，是要王把我的性命賜給我；我所求的，是求王把我的族人賜給我。

正月十三日，王的書記都召了來，照著哈曼的一切吩咐，用各省的文字，各族的方言，奉亞哈隨魯王的名下旨，又用王的戒指蓋上印，頒給總督、各省的省長和各族的領袖。王旨交給眾驛使傳到王的各省，吩咐要在一日之內，在十二月，就是亞達月十三日，把所有的猶大人，無論老少婦孺，都全部毀滅、殺絕、除盡，並且搶奪他們的財產。

我若是在王眼前蒙恩，王若是願意賜給我所要的，成全我所求的，就請王帶著哈曼明天再來赴我為你們預備的筵席；明天我必照著王的命令行。”

他說：‘求你讓我去，因為我們的家在城裡有獻祭的事，我哥哥吩咐我去。所以，我若是在你眼前蒙恩，求你讓我離開，看看我的哥哥們。’因此，大衛沒有來赴王的筵席。”

王愛以斯帖超過所有其他的女子；在所有的處女中，她在王的面前，最得王的恩寵與喜愛；王把王后的冠冕戴在她頭上，立她為王后，代替瓦實提。

王喜悅的女子，就可以作王后，代替瓦實提。”王喜悅這話，就這樣行了。

人在甚麼事上可以知道我和你的人民在你眼前蒙恩呢？不是因為你與我們同去，使我和你的人民可以和地上所有的人有分別嗎？”

現在我若是在你眼前蒙恩，求你把你的道路指示我，使我可以認識你，可以在你眼前蒙恩；也求你想到這民族是你的人民。”
