Now therefore seeing that I am come to speak this word unto my lord the king, it is because the people have made me afraid: and thy handmaid said, I will now speak unto the king; it may be that the king will perform the request of his servant.

And now it is my fear of the people which has made me come to say these words to my lord the king: and your servant said, I will put my cause before the king, and it may be that he will give effect to my request.

Τωρα δια τουτο ηλθον να λαλησω τον λογον τουτον προς τον κυριον μου τον βασιλεα, διοτι ο λαος με εφοβισε· και η δουλη σου ειπε, θελω τωρα λαλησει προς τον βασιλεα· ισως καμη ο βασιλευς την αιτησιν της δουλης αυτου.

Now therefore that I am come to speak of this thing unto my lord the king, it is because the people have made me afraid: and thy handmaid said, I will now speak unto the king; it may be that the king will perform the request of his handmaid.
