And in every province, and in every city, whithersoever the king’s commandment and his decree came, the Jews had gladness and joy, a feast and a good day. And many from among the peoples of the land became Jews; for the fear of the Jews was fallen upon them.

And in every part of the kingdom and in every town, wherever the king's letter and his order came, the Jews were glad with great joy, and had a feast and a good day. And a great number of the people of the land became Jews: for the fear of the Jews had come on them.

Και εν παση επαρχια και εν παση πολει, οπου ηλθε του βασιλεως το προσταγμα και η διαταγη, εγεινεν εις τους Ιουδαιους χαρα και αγαλλιασις, ευωχια και ημερα αγαθη. Και πολλοι εκ των λαων της γης εγειναν Ιουδαιοι διοτι ο φοβος των Ιουδαιων επεπεσεν επ' αυτους.
