After these events, King Achashverosh conferred eminence on Haman, the son of Hamdasa, the Agagite, and exalted him, placing his seat of office above all of his fellow ministers.

After these things king Aĥashverosh promoted Haman the son of Hammedata the Agagite, and advanced him, and set his seat above all the princes who were with him.

After these things [(i.e., after this "cure" having been created for the salvation of Israel)], King Achashverosh elevated Haman [(the "malady" for which the "cure" was pre-created)], the son of Hamdatha, the Agagite, and he exalted him, and he placed his seat above (that of) all the officers that were with him.

After these things king 🤴🏽 promoted 👺 the son of Hammedata the Agagite, and advanced him, and set his seat above all the princes who were with him.

And all of the king’s servants who were at the gateway to the king kneeled and prostrated themselves before Haman, for the king had so commanded concerning him—but Mordechai would neither kneel nor prostrate himself.

And all the king’s servants, who were in the king’s gate, bowed, and did obeisance to Haman: for the king had so commanded concerning him. But Mordokhay did not bow, or do him obeisance.

And all the servants of the king, who were in the king's gate, bowed down and prostrated themselves to Haman, for thus had the king decreed for him [(Haman having declared himself a god)], wherefore Mordecai would not bow down and would not prostrate himself.

And all the king’s servants, who were in the king’s ⛩️, 🙇🏽, and did obeisance to 👺: for the king had so commanded concerning him. But 👳🏽‍♂️ did not bow, or do him obeisance.

Said the king’s servants who were at the gateway of the king to Mordechai, “Why are you flouting the king’s command?”

Then the king’s servants, who were in the king’s gate, said to Mordokhay, Why dost thou transgress the king’s commandment?

And the servants of the king in the king's gate said to Mordecai: Why do you transgress the king's command?

Then the king’s servants, who were in the king’s ⛩️, said to 👳🏽‍♂️, ⁉️ dost thou transgress the king’s commandment?

It happened that, when they spoke to him daily, and he paid them no heed, they informed Haman, to see whether Mordechai’s avowal would be sustained—for he told them that he was a Yehudi.

Now it came to pass, when they spoke daily to him, and he did not hearken to them, that they told Haman, to see whether Mordokhay’s words would stand: for he had told them that he was a Jew.

And it was, as they said (it) to him day by day, and he would not pay heed to them, that they told it to Haman, to see if the words of Mordecai [(that, being a Jew, he would never bow down)] would stand; for he had told them that he was a Jew.

Now it came to pass, when they spoke daily to him, and he did not hearken to them, that they told 👺, to see whether 👳🏽‍♂️’s words would stand: for he had told them that he was a ✡️.

Haman then observed that Mordechai neither kneeled nor prostrated himself before him, and Haman was totally incensed.

And when Haman saw that Mordokhay did not bow or do him obeisance, then Haman was full of wrath.

And Haman saw that Mordecai did not bow down and prostrate himself to him, and Haman was filled with wrath.

And when 👺 saw that 👳🏽‍♂️ did not bow or do him obeisance, then 👺 was full of wrath.

But it was demeaning, in his view, to strike at Mordechai alone, for he was informed of [the identity of] Mordechai’s people. Haman sought to destroy all the Yehudim throughout Achashverosh’s realm—Mordechai’s people.

But he disdained to lay hands on Mordokhay alone; for they had told him the people of Mordokhay: so that Haman sought to destroy all the Jews who were throughout the whole kingdom of Aĥashverosh, the people of Mordokhay.

And it was demeaning in his eyes to send forth his hand against Mordecai alone, for they had told him (of) the people of Mordecai; and Haman sought to destroy all the Jews in the entire kingdom of Achashverosh, the people of Mordecai.

But he disdained to lay ✋ on 👳🏽‍♂️ alone; for they had told him the people of 👳🏽‍♂️: so that 👺 sought to destroy all the ✡️ who were throughout the whole kingdom of 🤴🏽, the people of 👳🏽‍♂️.

In the first month, which is the month of Nisan, during King Achashverosh’s twelfth year, a “pur”, meaning “lot”, was cast in the presence of Haman, for a specific day, and, specifically, the twelfth month, which is the month of Adar.

In the first month, that is, the month Nisan, in the twelfth year of king Aĥashverosh, they cast Pur, that is, the lot, before Haman from day to day, and from month to month, to the twelfth month, that is, the month Adar.

In the first month, the month of Nissan, in the twelfth year of King Achashverosh, he [i.e., he whose function it was] cast the pur — that is, the lot — before Haman [(to determine which day would be most propitious for his undertaking)], from day to day, and from month to month, to the twelfth month, the month of Adar.

Haman then said to King Achashverosh: “There exists a particular people, far-flung, widespread among the peoples in all the colonies of your realm. Their customs differ from those of all peoples, and they do not abide by his majesty’s bylaws; his majesty has nothing to gain by tolerating them.

And Haman said to king Aĥashverosh, There is a certain people scattered abroad and dispersed among the people in all the provinces of thy kingdom; and their laws are different from all people; nor do they keep the king’s laws: therefore it is of no benefit to the king to tolerate them.

And Haman said to King Achashverosh: There is one people scattered and dispersed among the peoples in all the provinces of your kingdom; and their ordinances are different from (those of) any people, and the ordinances of the king, they do not observe [i.e., they do not pay taxes], and the king gains nothing by abiding them.

And 👺 said to king 🤴🏽, There is a certain people scattered abroad and dispersed among the people in all the provinces of thy kingdom; and their laws are different from all people; nor do they keep the king’s laws: therefore it is of no benefit to the king to tolerate them.

If his majesty deems it proper, let it be inscribed that they are to be exterminated. And I shall weigh out ten thousand silver kikars under the auspices of the executive staff, to be deposited in the royal coffers.”

If it please the king, let it be written that they may be destroyed: and I will weigh out ten thousand talents of silver into the hands of those who have the charge of the business, to bring it into the king’s treasuries.

If it pleases the king, let it be written [i.e., let letters be written to the princes of the provinces] to destroy them, and ten thousand talents of silver will I deposit with the doers of the work to bring to the treasuries of the king.

If it please the king, let it be written that they may be destroyed: and I will weigh out 🔟 thousand talents of silver into the ✋ of those who have the charge of the business, to bring it into the king’s treasuries.

The king removed his ring from his hand, and presented it to Haman the son of Hamdasa the Agagite, oppressor of the Yehudim.

The terms of the writ would become legally binding in each and every colony—displayed conspicuously before all the peoples, so that they would be poised on that day.

The copy of the writing, to be given out as a law in every province, was published to all the peoples, that they might be ready for that day.
