Und in allen Landen und Städten, an welchen Ort des Königs Wort und Gebot gelangte, da war Freude und Wonne unter den Juden, Wohlleben und gute Tage, daß viele aus den Völkern im Lande Juden wurden; denn die Furcht vor den Juden war über sie gekommen.
Y en cada provincia y en cada ciudad donde llegó el mandamiento del rey, los Judíos tuvieron alegría y gozo, banquete y día de placer. Y muchos de los pueblos de la tierra se hacían Judíos, porque el temor de los Judíos había caído sobre ellos.
En cada provincia y en cada ciudad, en todo lugar adonde llegaban la orden del rey y su decreto, había alegría y gozo para los judíos, banquetes y día de fiesta. Muchos de entre los pueblos de la tierra se hacían judíos, porque el temor a los judíos había caído sobre ellos.
Dans chaque province et dans chaque ville, partout où arrivaient l'ordre du roi et son édit, il y eut parmi les Juifs de la joie et de l'allégresse, des festins et des fêtes. Et beaucoup de gens d'entre les peuples du pays se firent Juifs, car la crainte des Juifs les avait saisis.
Parimente, in ciascuna provincia, ed in ciascuna città, dovunque la parola del re e il suo decreto pervenne, vi fu allegrezza e letizia per li Giudei, conviti, e giorni lieti; e molti d’infra i popoli della terra si facevano Giudei; perciocchè lo spavento de’ Giudei era caduto sopra loro
Também em toda a província, e em toda a cidade, aonde chegava a palavra do rei e a sua ordem, havia entre os judeus alegria e gozo, banquetes e dias de folguedo; e muitos, dos povos da terra, se fizeram judeus, porque o temor dos judeus tinha caído sobre eles.
