and I answered the king,“ If it pleases the king and if your servant has found favor in his sight, let him send me to the city in Judah where my ancestors are buried so that I can rebuild it.”

我对王说：“仆人若在王眼前蒙恩，王若喜欢，求王差遣我往犹大，到我列祖坟墓所在的那城去，我好重新建造。”

我对王说：“王若以为好，仆人若在王面前蒙恩，求王差遣我往犹大，到我祖先坟墓所在的那城去，我好重新建造。”

我对王说：“王若以为好，仆人若在王面前蒙恩，求王差遣我往犹大，到我祖先坟墓所在的那城去，我好重新建造。”

回答说：“如果王认为好，如果仆人在王面前蒙恩，请王派我到犹大，重建我祖坟所在的城邑。”

然后对王说：“如果王认为好，仆人能在你面前蒙恩宠，就请你差派我往犹大，到我列祖坟墓所在的城去，让我重建那城。”

我對王說：「僕人若在王眼前蒙恩，王若喜歡，求王差遣我往猶大，到我列祖墳墓所在的那城去，我好重新建造。」

我對王說：「王若以為好，僕人若在王面前蒙恩，求王差遣我往猶大，到我祖先墳墓所在的那城去，我好重新建造

我對王說：「王若以為好，僕人若在王面前蒙恩，求王差遣我往猶大，到我祖先墳墓所在的那城去，我好重新建造。」

回答說：「如果王認為好，如果僕人在王面前蒙恩，請王派我到猶大，重建我祖墳所在的城邑。」

然後對王說：“如果王認為好，僕人能在你面前蒙恩寵，就請你差派我往猶大，到我列祖墳墓所在的城去，讓我重建那城。”

就對王說：『王若認為滿意，僕人若在王面前蒙恩寵，請王差遣我往猶大，到我列祖墳墓所在的城去，我好重新建造它。』

奏王曰、如王悅之、施恩於僕、請遣我至猶大祖墓之邑、俾復建之、

遂告王曰、如王樂施恩於我、請遣臣僕、至猶大地祖墓之邑、俾我得以復建。

遂奏王曰、僕若蒙恩於王前、王若樂允、求王遣僕往猶大地、至我列祖墳墓之邑、俾我復建城垣、

Then I answered the king,“ Are you pleased with me, King Artaxerxes? If it pleases you, send me to Judah. Let me go to the city of Jerusalem. That’s where my people are buried. I want to rebuild it.”

And I said to the king,“ If it pleases the king, and if your servant has found favor in your sight, that you send me to Judah, to the city of my fathers’ graves, that I may rebuild it.”

I replied,“ If it please the king, and if you are pleased with me, your servant, send me to Judah to rebuild the city where my ancestors are buried.”

and answered the king,“ If it pleases the king, and if your servant has found favor with you, send me to Judah and to the city where my ancestors are buried, so that I may rebuild it.”

Then I said to the king,“ If it pleases the king, and if your servant has found favor before you, I request that you send me to Judah, to the city of my fathers’ tombs, that I may rebuild it.”

And I said to the king,“ If it pleases the king, and if your servant has found favor in your sight, I ask that you send me to Judah, to the city of my fathers’ tombs, that I may rebuild it.”

And I said unto the king, If it please the king, and if thy servant have found favor in thy sight, that thou wouldest send me unto Judah, unto the city of my fathers’ sepulchres, that I may build it.

and answered the king,“ If it pleases the king, and if your servant has found favor with you, send me to Judah and to the city where my ancestors are buried, so that I may rebuild it.”

And I said unto the king, If it please the king, and if thy servant have found favour in thy sight, that thou wouldest send me unto Judah, unto the city of my fathers’ sepulchres, that I may build it.

and said to the king,“ If the king is so inclined and if your servant has found favor in your sight, dispatch me to Judah, to the city with the graves of my ancestors, so that I can rebuild it.”

I said to the king,“ If it pleases the king, and if your servant has found favor in your sight, that you would send me to Judah, to the city of my fathers’ tombs, that I may build it.”

Now if it pleases the king, let a search be made in the royal archives of Babylon to see if King Cyrus did in fact issue a decree to rebuild this house of God in Jerusalem. Then let the king send us his decision in this matter.

“ May I continue to find favor in your eyes, my lord,” she said.“ You have put me at ease by speaking kindly to your servant— though I do not have the standing of one of your servants.”

Then you will win favor and a good name in the sight of God and man.

Then Queen Esther answered,“ If I have found favor with you, Your Majesty, and if it pleases you, grant me my life— this is my petition. And spare my people— this is my request.

“ Therefore, if it pleases the king, let him issue a royal decree and let it be written in the laws of Persia and Media, which cannot be repealed, that Vashti is never again to enter the presence of King Xerxes. Also let the king give her royal position to someone else who is better than she.

“ 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.

If the king regards me with favor and if it pleases the king to grant my petition and fulfill my request, let the king and Haman come tomorrow to the banquet I will prepare for them. Then I will answer the king’s question.”

Joab fell with his face to the ground to pay him honor, and he blessed the king. Joab said,“ Today your servant knows that he has found favor in your eyes, my lord the king, because the king has granted his servant’s request.”
