2 After the_things the_these just_ the _anger _of the_king ʼAḩashvērōsh _as _subsided he _remembered DOM Vashti and_DOM that_which she _had _done and_DOM that_which it _had _been _decided on_her.

2 And_ the _young _men _of the_king who _of_were_serving _him _they _said let _people _seek to/for_the _king young _women virgins good _of appearance.

3 And_ the_king _let _him _appoint appointees in_all the _provinces _of his/its_kingdom and_let _them _gather DOM every _of girl virgin good _of appearance to Shūshan the_citadel to the _house _of the _women into the _hand _of Hegai the _eunuch _of the_king the _one _who_kept _of the_women and_let _him _give cleansings _of_their.

4 And_the _young_woman who she _will _be _good in/on_both _eyes _of the_king she _will _reign in _place _of Vashti and_ the_message _it _was _good in/on_both _eyes _of the_king and_he/it _made thus.

5 A _man a _Jew he _was in_Shūshan the_citadel and_his/its_name was_Mordəkay the _son _of Yāʼīr/(Jair) the _son _of Shimˊī the _son _of Qīsh a _man a _Jaminite.

6 Who he _had _been _taken _into _exile from_Yərūshālaim/(Jerusalem) with the_exile[s] which it _had _been _taken _into _exile with Yəkon^yāh/(Jeconiah) the _king _of Yəhūdāh/(Judah) whom Nebuchadnezzar the _king _of Bāⱱel he _had _taken _into _exile.

7 And_he/it _was acting _as _guardian DOM Hₐdaşşāh that is_ʼEştēr the _daughter _of his _uncle _of_his if/because there_was_not to/for_her/it a _father and_a _mother and_the _young_woman was_beautiful _of form and_good _of appearance and_at_the _death _of her _father _of_her and_mother _of_her he_took _her Mordəkay to_him/it to_a _daughter.

8 And_he/it _was when_ the _edict _of the_king and_orders _of_his _were _heard and_when_ young _women many _were _gathered to Shūshan the_citadel into the _hand _of Hegai and_ ʼEştēr _she _was _taken to the _house _of the_king into the _hand _of Hegai the _one _who_kept _of the_women.

9 And_ the _young_woman _she _was _good in_eyes _of_his and_she _bore favour before_him and_he _hastened DOM cleansings _of_her and_DOM portions _of_her to_give to/for_her/it and_DOM seven the _servant_girls (the)_chosen to_give to/for_her/it from_the _house _of the_king and_he_moved _her and_DOM girls _of_her _servant to_the _good_place_of the _house _of the _women.

10 Not ʼEştēr she _had _told DOM people _of_her and_DOM kindred _of_her if/because Mordəkay he _had _commanded on/upon_it(f) which/who not she _will _tell.

11 And_on/over_all day and_day Mordəkay was_walking _about to_(the)_face _of/in _front _of/before the _courtyard _of the _house _of the _women to_know DOM the _welfare _of ʼEştēr and_what was _it _done with_her.

12 And_when_ the_turn _of a _young _woman and_a _young _woman _arrived to_go to the_king ʼAḩashvērōsh from _the_end/extremity of _being to/for_her/it according_to _the _regulation _of the _women two _plus ten month[s] if/because thus the _days _of their _rubbings _of_their six months with_the _oil _of (the)_myrrh and_six months with _(the)_oil and_with_the _cleansings _of (the)_women they _were _completed.

13 And_in_this_way the _young_woman was_going into the_king DOM all that she _said it _was _given to/for_her/it to_go with_her/it from_the _house _of the _women to the _house _of the _king.

14 In_evening she was_going and_in_morning she was_returning to the _house _of the _women second into the _hand _of Shaashgaz the _eunuch _of the_king the _one _who_kept _of the_concubines not she _went again into the_king if/because (if) he _delighted in_her the_king and_she _was _summoned by_name.

15 And_when_ the _turn _of ʼEştēr the _daughter _of ʼAⱱīhayil the _uncle _of Mordəkay whom he _had _taken to_him/it to_a _daughter _arrived to_go to the_king not she _requested anything if/because (if) DOM that_which Hegai the _eunuch _of the_king the _one _who_kept _of the_women he _said and_ ʼEştēr _it _became bearing _of favour in/on_both _eyes _of all _of those _of_who_saw _her.

16 And_ ʼEştēr _she _was _taken to the_king ʼAḩashvērōsh into the _house _of his/its_kingdom in_month (the)_tenth that is_the _month _of Tebeth in_year seven of_reign _of_his.

17 And_ the_king _he _loved DOM ʼEştēr from_all the_women and_she _bore favour and_favour before_him from_all the_virgins and_he/it _assigned a _crown _of royalty on_head _of_her and_he_made _her _queen in _place _of Vashti.

18 And_ the_king _he/it _made a _feast great to/from_all/each/any/every officials _of_his and_servants _of_his DOM the _feast _of ʼEştēr and_a _holiday for_provinces he _made and_he/it _gave present[s] according_to _the _hand _of the _king.

19 And_when_ virgins _were _gathered a _second_time and_Mordəkay was_sitting at_the _gate _of the _king.

20 Not ʼEştēr was_telling kindred _of_her and_DOM people _of_her just_as he _had _commanded on/upon_it(f) Mordəkay and_DOM the _command _of Mordəkay ʼEştēr was_doing just_as she _had _been in_guardianship with_him/it.

21 In _the_days the_those and_Mordəkay was_sitting at_the _gate _of the_king Bigthan and_Teresh two _of the _eunuchs _of the_king of_the _keepers _of of_the _threshold he _was _angry and_they _sought to_stretch _out a _hand on_king ʼAḩashvērōsh.

22 And_ the_matter _it _was _made _known to_Mordəkay and_he _told to_ʼEştēr the_queen and_ ʼEştēr _she/it _said to/for_the _king in/on_name _of Mordəkay.

23 And_ the_matter _it _was _sought and_it _was _found and_ both _of_them _they _were _hanged on a _gallows and_it _was _written in_the _book _of the _matters _of the_days to_(the)_face _of/in _front _of/before the_king.
