モルデカイ曾て王の侍從の二人戸を守る者なるビグタンとテレシがアハシユエロス王を殺さんと謀れるを告たりと記せるに遇ふ
3 And he said the king what? has it been done honor and greatness for Mordecai on this and they said [the] young men of the king servants his not it was done with him anything.
王すなはち言けるは之がために何の榮譽と爵位をモルデカイにあたへしや 王に事ふる臣僕等こたへて何をも彼にあたへしこと無しといへり
4 And he said the king who? [is] in the court and Haman he had come to [the] court of [the] house of the king outer to speak to the king to hang Mordecai on the gallows which he had prepared for him.
ここにおいて王誰ぞ庭にあるやと問ふ この時ハマンは己がモルデカイのために設けたる木にモルデカイを懸ることを王に奏せんとして已に王の家の外庭に來りて居る
5 And they said [the] servants of the king to him there! Haman [is] standing in the court and he said the king let him come.
王の臣僕等王につげてハマン庭に立をると言ければ王かれをして入來らしめよと言ふ
6 And he came Haman and he said to him the king what? [is] to do for the man whom the king he delights in honor his and he said Haman in heart his to whom? will he delight the king to do honor excess more than me.
ハマンやがて入きたりしに王かれにいひけるは王の尊とばんと欲する人には如何になさば善らんかとハマン心におもひけるは王の尊ばんとずる者は我にあらずして誰ぞやと
7 And he said Haman to the king a man whom the king he delights in honor his.

これを王の最も貴とき一人の牧伯の手にわたし王の尊ばんとする人に其衣服を衣せしめこれを馬にのせて邑の街衢をみちびき通り 王の尊とばんと欲する人には是のごとくなすべしと呼はらしむべし
10 And he said the king to Haman hurry take the clothing and the horse just as you have said and do so for Mordecai the Jew who sits at [the] gate of the king may not you make fall a word from all that you have said.
王ハマンに言けるは急ぎなんぢが言しごとくその衣服と馬とを取り王の門に坐するユダヤ人モルデカイに斯なせよ なんぢが言しところを一も缺こと無らしめよ
