Assamese: কাৰণ মোক আৰু মোৰ স্বজাতীয় লোকসকলক ধ্বংস, বধ, আৰু বিনষ্ট কৰিবৰ বাবে বিক্রী কৰা হৈছে। আমি যদি কেৱল দাস-দাসী হ’বলৈ বেচা গলোহেঁতেন, তেনেহ’লে মই নিজমে থাকিলো হয়; আৰু ৰজাৰ শান্তিভংগ কৰাৰ একো প্রয়োজন নহ’ল হয়।”
AYT: Sebab, kami, aku dan bangsaku, sudah dijual untuk dihancurkan, dibunuh, dan dibinasakan. Seandainya kami hanya dijual untuk menjadi budak laki-laki dan perempuan, aku akan berdiam diri karena penderitaan kami tidak sebanding dengan kerugian raja.
Bengali: কারণ ধ্বংস, হত্যা করবার ও বিনষ্ট করবার জন্যই আমাকে ও আমার জাতির লোকদের বিক্রি করা হয়েছে। যদি আমাদের শুধু দাস ও দাসী হবার জন্য বিক্রিত হতাম, তবে আমি চুপ করেই থাকতাম; কিন্তু তা হলেও মহারাজের ক্ষতিপূরণ করা শত্রুদের সহজ হত না।”
Gujarati: કારણ કે અમે એટલે હું તથા મારા લોક, મારી નંખાવા માટે અને કતલ થઈ જવા માટે વેચાયાં છીએ જો અમને ફકત ગુલામ તથા ગુલામડીઓ તરીકે વેચી દેવામાં આવ્યાં હોત તો મેં કંઈ પણ માગ્યુું ન હોત, પણ જે નુકસાન રાજાને થશે તેને સરખામણીમાં અમારું દુઃખ કંઈ વિસાતમાં નથી.''
Hindi: क्योंकि मैं और मेरी जाति के लोग बेच डाले गए हैं, और हम सब विध्वंसघात और नाश किए जानेवाले हैं। यदि हम केवल दास-दासी हो जाने के लिये बेच डाले जाते, तो मैं चुप रहती; चाहे उस दशा में भी वह विरोधी राजा की हानि भर न सकता।”
Kannada: ಜನರು ನಮ್ಮನ್ನು ಕೊಂದು ಸಂಹರಿಸಿ, ನಮ್ಮನ್ನು ನಿರ್ನಾಮಗೊಳಿಸುವ ಹಾಗೆ ನಾವು ಮಾರಲ್ಪಟ್ಟೆವು. ನಾವು ಸೇವಕ ಸೇವಕಿಯರಾಗುವುದಕ್ಕೆ ಗುಲಾಮರಂತೆ ಮಾರಲ್ಪಟ್ಟಿದ್ದರೆ ಆ ಕಷ್ಟದ ವಿಷಯದಲ್ಲಿ ರಾಜನನ್ನು ತೊಂದರೆಪಡಿಸುವುದು ಯೋಗ್ಯವಲ್ಲವೆಂದು ಸುಮ್ಮನಿರುತ್ತಿದ್ದೆನು>> ಎಂದು ಉತ್ತರಕೊಟ್ಟಳು.
Marathi: कारण, आमचा नाश होण्यासाठी, मारले जाण्यासाठी व नाहीसे व्हावे मी आणि माझे लोक विकले गेलो आहोत. आमची नुसती गुलाम म्हणून विक्री झाली असती तरी मी गप्प राहिले असते. तरी शत्रू राजाची हानी भरून देऊ शकले नसते.
Odiya: କାରଣ ଆମ୍ଭେମାନେ, ମୁଁ ଓ ମୋହର ଲୋକମାନେ ସଂହାରିତ ଓ ହତ ଓ ବିନଷ୍ଟ ହେବା ନିମନ୍ତେ ବିକ୍ରିତ ହୋଇଅଛୁ । ଯେବେ ଆମ୍ଭେମାନେ କେବଳ ଦାସ ଦାସୀ ହେବା ପାଇଁ ବିକ୍ରିତ ହୋଇଥା'ନ୍ତୁ, ତେବେ ଶତ୍ରୁ ମହାରାଜାଙ୍କର ଏହି କ୍ଷତି ପରିଶୋଧ କରି ନ ପାରିଲେ ହେଁ ମୁଁ ନୀରବ ହୋଇ ରହନ୍ତି ।"
Punjabi: ਕਿਉਂਕਿ ਮੈਂ ਅਤੇ ਮੇਰੇ ਲੋਕ ਨਾਸ ਹੋਣ ਲਈ ਅਤੇ ਮਾਰੇ ਜਾਣ ਲਈ ਅਤੇ ਮਿਟਾਏ ਜਾਣ ਲਈ ਵੇਚ ਦਿੱਤੇ ਗਏ ਹਾਂ ! ਜੇਕਰ ਅਸੀਂ ਸਿਰਫ਼ ਦਾਸ-ਦਾਸੀਆਂ ਹੋਣ ਲਈ ਵੇਚੇ ਜਾਂਦੇ ਤਾਂ ਮੈਂ ਚੁੱਪ ਰਹਿੰਦੀ ਪਰ ਸਾਡਾ ਵੈਰੀ ਰਾਜਾ ਦੇ ਘਾਟੇ ਨੂੰ ਪੂਰਾ ਨਹੀਂ ਕਰ ਸਕਦਾ !"
Tamil: எங்களை அழித்துக் கொல்லும்படி நானும் என்னுடைய மக்களும் விற்கப்பட்டோம்; ஆண்களும், பெண்களும் அடிமைகளாக விற்கப்பட்டுப்போனாலும் நான் மவுனமாக இருப்பேன்; இப்பொழுதோ ராஜாவிற்கு உண்டாகும் நஷ்டத்திற்கு அந்த எதிரி உத்தரவாதம் பண்ணமுடியாது என்றாள்.
Telugu: నేను, నా జాతి ప్రజలు, సమూల నాశనానికి, సంహారానికి, తుడిచిపెట్టి వేయడానికి అమ్ముడుబోయాము. మేమంతా ఆడ, మగ బానిసలుగా అమ్ముడుబోయినట్టైతే నేను నోరు విప్పేదాన్ని కాదు. ఎందుకంటే ఆ మాత్రం ఇబ్బందికి రాజువైన మీకు శ్రమ ఇవ్వడం భావ్యం కాదు గదా.>>
NETBible: For we have been sold – both I and my people – to destruction and to slaughter and to annihilation! If we had simply been sold as male and female slaves, I would have remained silent, for such distress would not have been sufficient for troubling the king.”
NASB: for we have been sold, I and my people, to be destroyed, to be killed and to be annihilated. Now if we had only been sold as slaves, men and women, I would have remained silent, for the trouble would not be commensurate with the annoyance to the king."
HCSB: For my people and I have been sold out to destruction, death, and extermination. If we had merely been sold as male and female slaves, I would have kept silent. Indeed, the trouble wouldn't be worth burdening the king."
LEB: You see, we––my people and I––have been sold so that we can be wiped out, killed, and destroyed. If our men and women had only been sold as slaves, I would have kept silent because the enemy is not worth troubling you about, Your Majesty."
NIV: For I and my people have been sold for destruction and slaughter and annihilation. If we had merely been sold as male and female slaves, I would have kept quiet, because no such distress would justify disturbing the king."
ESV: For we have been sold, I and my people, to be destroyed, to be killed, and to be annihilated. If we had been sold merely as slaves, men and women, I would have been silent, for our affliction is not to be compared with the loss to the king."
NRSV: For we have been sold, I and my people, to be destroyed, to be killed, and to be annihilated. If we had been sold merely as slaves, men and women, I would have held my peace; but no enemy can compensate for this damage to the king."
REB: For we have been sold, I and my people, to be destroyed, slain, and exterminated. If it had been a matter of selling us, men and women alike, into slavery, I should have kept silence; for then our plight would not have been such as to injure the king's interests.”
NKJV: "For we have been sold, my people and I, to be destroyed, to be killed, and to be annihilated. Had we been sold as male and female slaves, I would have held my tongue, although the enemy could never compensate for the king’s loss."
KJV: 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.
NLT: For my people and I have been sold to those who would kill, slaughter, and annihilate us. If we had only been sold as slaves, I could remain quiet, for that would have been a matter too trivial to warrant disturbing the king."
GNB: My people and I have been sold for slaughter. If it were nothing more serious than being sold into slavery, I would have kept quiet and not bothered you about it; but we are about to be destroyed -- exterminated!”
ERV: I ask this because my people and I have been sold to be destroyed—to be killed and wiped out completely. If we had just been sold as slaves, I would have kept quiet, because that would not be enough of a problem to bother the king.”
BBE: 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.
MSG: "We've been sold, I and my people, to be destroyed--sold to be massacred, eliminated. If we had just been sold off into slavery, I wouldn't even have brought it up; our troubles wouldn't have been worth bothering the king over."
