for we are sold, I and my people, to be destroyed, to be slain, and to perish. But if we had been sold for bondmen and bondwomen, I had held my peace, although the adversary could not have compensated for the king’s damage.

For we are given up, I and my people, to destruction and death and to be cut off. If we had been taken as men-servants and women-servants for a price, I would have said nothing, for our trouble is little in comparison with the king's loss.

διοτι επωληθημεν, εγω και ο λαος μου, εις απωλειαν, εις σφαγην και εις ολεθρον· και εαν ηθελομεν πωληθη ως δουλοι και δουλαι ηθελον σιωπησει, αν και ο εχθρος δεν ηδυνατο να αναπληρωση την ζημιαν του βασιλεως.

For we are sold, I and my people, to be destroyed, to be slain, and to perish. But if we had been sold for bondmen and bondwomen, I had held my tongue, although the enemy could not countervail the king’s damage.
