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 whanne the kyng hadde herd this, he seide, What onour and meede gat Mardochee for this feithfulnesse? And hise seruauntis and mynystris seiden to hym, Outirli he took no meede.
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 anoon the kyng seide, Who is in the halle? Sotheli Aaman hadde entrid in to the ynnere halle of the kyngis hows, to make suggestioun to the kyng, that he schulde comaunde Mardochee to be hangid on the iebat, which was maad redi to 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 the children answeriden, Aaman stondith in the halle.
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

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 answeride, The man, whom the kyng couetith to onoure,
ハマンすなはち王にいひけるは王の尊ばんと欲する人のためには
8 owith to be clothid with the kyngis clothis, and to be set on the hors which is of the kyngis sadel, and to take the kyngis diademe on his heed;
王の着たまへる衣服を携さへ來らしめかつ王の乗たまへる馬即ちその頭に王の冠冕を戴ける馬をひき來らしめ
9 and the firste of the princes and stronge men of the kyng holde his hors, and go bi the stretis of the citee, and crie, and seie, Thus he schal be onourid, whom euer the kyng wole onoure.
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 Therfor the kyng seide to hym, Haste thou, and whanne `a stoole and hors is takun, do thou, as thou hast spoke, to Mardochee the Jew, that sittith bifor the yatis of the paleis; be thou war, that thou leeue not out ony thing of these, whiche thou hast spoke.
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
11 Therfor Aaman took `a stoole and hors, and yede, and criede bifor Mardochee clothid in the strete of the citee, and set on `the hors, He is worthi this onour, whom euer the kyng wole onoure.
ここにおいてハマン衣服と馬とを取りモルデカイにその衣服を着せ彼をして邑の街衢を乗とほらしめその前に呼はりて云ふ王の尊ばんと欲する人には是のごとくなすべしと
12 And Mardochee turnede ayen to the yate of the paleis, and Aaman hastide to go in to his hows, morenynge, and with the heed hilid.
かくてモルデカイは王の門にかへりたりしがハマンは愁へなやみ首をおほふておのれの家にはしりゆき
13 And he teld to Zares, his wijf, and to frendis alle thingis that hadden bifelde to hym. To whom the wise men, whiche he hadde in counsel, and his wijf, answeriden, If Mardochee, bifor whom thou hast bigunne to falle, is of the seed of Jewis, thou schalt not mowe ayenstonde hym, but thou schalt falle in his siyt.
しかしてハマンおのが遇る事をことごとくその妻ゼレシとその朋友等に告げるにその智者等およびその妻ゼレシかれに言けるは 彼のモルデカイすなはちなんぢがその前に敗れはじめたる者もしユダヤ人ならば汝これに勝ことを得じ必らずその前にやぶれんと
