So the posts that rode upon mules and camels went out, being hastened and pressed on by the king's commandment. And the decree was given at Shushan the palace.

Und die reitenden Boten auf den Maultieren ritten aus schnell und eilend nach dem Wort des Königs, und das Gebot ward zu Schloß Susan angeschlagen.
Los correos pues, cabalgando en dromedarios y en mulos, salieron apresurados y constreñidos por el mandamiento del rey: y la ley fue dada en Susán capital del reino.
Los mensajeros, montados en corceles del servicio real, salieron con premura y a toda prisa por orden del rey. El decreto se promulgó en la fortaleza de Susa.
Les courriers, montés sur des chevaux et des mulets, partirent aussitôt et en toute hâte, d'après l'ordre du roi. L'édit fut aussi publié dans Suse, la capitale.
Così i corrieri, cavalcando dromedari, e muli corsieri, si misero in cammino, affrettati, e sollecitati per lo comandamento del re. Il decreto fu eziandio bandito in Susan, stanza reale
Os correios, sobre ginetes velozes, saíram apressuradamente, impelidos pela palavra do rei; e esta ordem foi publicada na fortaleza de Susã.
於是騎御用快馬的信差奉王命催促,急忙起行;敕令傳遍了 書珊 城堡。
