- ગુજરાતી — એસ્તેર ૩:૨
- રાજાની આજ્ઞાથી રાજાના બધા સેવકો રાજાના દરવાજે નમસ્કાર કરીને હામાનને માન આપતા, કેમ કે રાજાએ તેના વિષે એવી આજ્ઞા કરી હતી. પરંતુ મોર્દખાય નમસ્કાર કરતો ન હતો. અને માન પણ આપતો ન હતો.
- हिन्दी — एस्तेर ३:२
- राजा के सब कर्मचारी जो राजभवन के फाटक में रहा करते थे, वे हामान के सामने झुककर दण्डवत् किया करते थे क्योंकि राजा ने उसके विषय ऐसी ही आज्ञा दी थी; परन्तु मोर्दकै न तो झुकता था और न उसको दण्डवत् करता था ।
In context
1After these things King Ahasuerus promoted Haman the son of Hammedatha the Agagite, and advanced him, and set his seat above all the princes who were with him.
2All the king’s servants who were in the king’s gate bowed down and paid homage to Haman, for the king had so commanded concerning him. But Mordecai didn’t bow down or pay him homage.
3Then the king’s servants who were in the king’s gate said to Mordecai, “Why do you disobey the king’s commandment?”
4Now it came to pass, when they spoke daily to him, and he didn’t listen to them, that they told Haman, to see whether Mordecai’s reason would stand; for he had told them that he was a Jew.
