| فَقَالَ ٱلْمَلِكُ لِأَسْتِيرَ فِي ٱلْيَوْمِ ٱلثَّانِي أَيْضًا عِنْدَ شُرْبِ ٱلْخَمْرِ: «مَا هُوَ سُؤْلُكِ يَا أَسْتِيرُ ٱلْمَلِكَةُ فَيُعْطَى لَكِ؟ وَمَا هِيَ طِلْبَتُكِ؟ وَلَوْ إِلَى نِصْفِ ٱلْمَمْلَكَةِ تُقْضَى». | ٢ 2 |

| فَأَجَابَتْ أَسْتِيرُ ٱلْمَلِكَةُ وَقَالَتْ: «إِنْ كُنْتُ قَدْ وَجَدْتُ نِعْمَةً فِي عَيْنَيْكَ أَيُّهَا ٱلْمَلِكُ، وَإِذَا حَسُنَ عِنْدَ ٱلْمَلِكِ، فَلْتُعْطَ لِي نَفْسِي بِسُؤْلِي، وَشَعْبِي بِطِلْبَتِي. | ٣ 3 |
To whom sche answeride, A! king, if Y haue founde grace in thin iyen, and if it plesith thee, yyue thou my lijf to me, for which Y preie, and my puple, for which Y biseche.
| لِأَنَّنَا قَدْ بِعْنَا أَنَا وَشَعْبِي لِلْهَلَاكِ وَٱلْقَتْلِ وَٱلْإِبَادَةِ. وَلَوْ بِعْنَا عَبِيدًا وَإِمَاءً لَكُنْتُ سَكَتُّ، مَعَ أَنَّ ٱلْعَدُوَّ لَا يُعَوِّضُ عَنْ خَسَارَةِ ٱلْمَلِكِ». | ٤ 4 |
For Y and my puple ben youun, that we be defoulid, and stranglid, and that we perische; `and Y wolde, that we weren seeld in to seruauntis and seruauntessis, `and the yuel `were suffrable, and Y `were stille weilynge; but now oure enemy is, whos cruelte turneth `in to the kyng.
| فَتَكَلَّمَ ٱلْمَلِكُ أَحَشْوِيرُوشُ وَقَالَ لِأَسْتِيرَ ٱلْمَلِكَةِ: «مَنْ هُوَ؟ وَأَيْنَ هُوَ هَذَا ٱلَّذِي يَتَجَاسَرُ بِقَلْبِهِ عَلَى أَنْ يَعْمَلَ هَكَذَا؟» | ٥ 5 |
And kyng Assuerus answeride, and seide, Who is this, and of what power, that he be hardi to do these thingis?
| فَقَالَتْ أَسْتِيرُ: «هُوَ رَجُلٌ خَصْمٌ وَعَدُوٌّ، هَذَا هَامَانُ ٱلرَّدِيءُ». فَٱرْتَاعَ هَامَانُ أَمَامَ ٱلْمَلِكِ وَٱلْمَلِكَةِ. | ٦ 6 |
And Hester seide, Oure worste aduersarie and enemy is this Aaman. Which thing he herde, and was astonyde anoon, and `suffride not to bere the semelaunt of the kyng and of the queen.
| فَقَامَ ٱلْمَلِكُ بِغَيْظِهِ عَنْ شُرْبِ ٱلْخَمْرِ إِلَى جَنَّةِ ٱلْقَصْرِ. وَوَقَفَ هَامَانُ لِيَتَوَسَّلَ عَنْ نَفْسِهِ إِلَى أَسْتِيرَ ٱلْمَلِكَةِ، لِأَنَّهُ رَأَى أَنَّ ٱلشَّرَّ قَدْ أُعِدَّ عَلَيْهِ مِنْ قِبَلِ ٱلْمَلِكِ. | ٧ 7 |
Forsothe the kyng roos wrooth, and fro the place of the feeste he entride in to a gardyn biset with trees. And Aaman roos for to preie Hester, the queen, for his lijf; for he vndurstood yuel maad redi of the kyng to hym.
| وَلَمَّا رَجَعَ ٱلْمَلِكُ مِنْ جَنَّةِ ٱلْقَصْرِ إِلَى بَيْتِ شُرْبِ ٱلْخَمْرِ، وَهَامَانُ مُتَوَاقِعٌ عَلَى ٱلسَّرِيرِ ٱلَّذِي كَانَتْ أَسْتِيرُ عَلَيْهِ، قَالَ ٱلْمَلِكُ: «هَلْ أَيْضًا يَكْبِسُ ٱلْمَلِكَةَ مَعي فِي ٱلْبَيْتِ؟» وَلَمَّا خَرَجَتِ ٱلْكَلِمَةُ مِنْ فَمِ ٱلْمَلِكِ غَطَّوْا وَجْهَ هَامَانَ. | ٨ 8 |

And the king seide, `Also he wole oppresse the queen, while Y am present, in myn hows. The word was not yit goon out of the kyngis mouth, and anoon thei hiliden his face.
| فَقَالَ حَرْبُونَا، وَاحِدٌ مِنَ ٱلْخِصْيَانِ ٱلَّذِينَ بَيْنَ يَدَيِ ٱلْمَلِكِ: «هُوَذَا ٱلْخَشَبَةُ أَيْضًا ٱلَّتِي عَمِلَهَا هَامَانُ لِمُرْدَخَايَ ٱلَّذِي تَكَلَّمَ بِٱلْخَيْرِ نَحْوَ ٱلْمَلِكِ قَائِمَةٌ فِي بَيْتِ هَامَانَ، ٱرْتِفَاعُهَا خَمْسُونَ ذِرَاعًا». فَقَالَ ٱلْمَلِكُ: «ٱصْلِبُوهُ عَلَيْهَا». | ٩ 9 |

| فَصَلَبُوا هَامَانَ عَلَى ٱلْخَشَبَةِ ٱلَّتِي أَعَدَّهَا لِمُرْدَخَايَ. ثُمَّ سَكَنَ غَضَبُ ٱلْمَلِكِ. | ١٠ 10 |
