¿µ¾î¼º°æ
If it please thee, let an edict go out from thy presence, and let it be written according to the law of the Persians and of the Medes, which must not be altered, that Vasthi come in no more to the king, but another, that is better than her, be made queen in her place.
King James
¿µ¾î¼º°æ
If it please the king, let there go a royal commandment from him, and let it be written among the laws of the Persians and the Medes, that it be not altered, That Vashti come no more before king Ahasuerus; and let the king give her royal estate unto another that is better than she.
Louis Second
ºÒ¾î¼º°æ
Si le roi le trouve bon, qu'on publie de sa part et qu'on inscrive parmi les lois des Perses et des Mèdes, avec défense de la transgresser, une ordonnance royale d'après laquelle Vasthi ne paraîtra plus devant le roi Assuérus et le roi donnera la dignité de reine à une autre qui soit meilleure qu'elle
Martin Luther
µ¶¾î¼º°æ
Gefällt es dem Könige, so lasse man ein königlich Gebot von ihm ausgehen und schreiben nach der Perser und Meder Gesetz, welches man nicht darf übertreten, daß Vasthi nicht mehr vor den König Ahasveros komme; und der König gebe ihr Königreich ihrer Nächsten, die besser ist denn sie;
Vulgate
¶óƾ¾î¼º°æ
