| Language | Esther Chapter 5, Verse 12 |
| Albanian | Hamani shtoi gjithashtu: "Edhe mbretëresha Ester nuk ka sjellë bashkë me mbretin në banket askënd tjetër veç meje; edhe nesër më ka ftuar ajo bashkë me mbretin. |
| Cebuano | Labut pa, si Aman namulong: Oo, si Ester nga reina wala motugot nga may mokuyog sa hari nganhi sa combira nga iyang giandam gawas kanako lamang; ug ugma ako usab gidapit niya uban sa hari. |
| Croatian | Haman još dometnu: "I kraljica Estera nije uz kralja pozvala nikoga osim mene na gozbu koju je priredila. I sutra sam samo ja uz kralja njezin uzvanik. |
| Danish | Og Haman sagde: Dronning Ester lod heller ikke andre end mig komme med Kongen til det Gæstebud, hun havde gjoet rede; og jeg er også indbudt af hende til i Morgen sammen med Kongen. |
| Dutch | Verder zeide Haman: Ook heeft de koningin Esther niemand met den koning doen komen tot den maaltijd, dien zij bereid heeft, dan mij; en ik ben ook tegen morgen van haar met den koning genodigd. |
| Finnish | Ja Haaman sanoi: "Eipä kuningatar Esterkään antanut laittamiinsa pitoihin kuninkaan kanssa tulla kenenkään muun kuin minun. Ja huomiseksikin minä olen kuninkaan kanssa kutsuttu hänen luoksensa. |
| French | Et il ajouta: Je suis même le seul que la reine Esther ait admis avec le roi au festin qu`elle a fait, et je suis encore invité pour demain chez elle avec le roi. |
| German | Auch sprach Haman: Und die Königin Esther hat niemand kommen lassen mit dem König zum Mahl, das sie zugerichtet hat, als mich; und ich bin morgen auch zu ihr geladen mit dem König. |
| Hungarian | És monda Hámán: Nem is hívott Eszter királyné mást a királylyal a lakomára, a melyet készített, hanem csak engem, és még holnapra is meghivattattam hozzá a királylyal. |
| Indonesian-Bahasa Sehari-hari | Katanya pula, "Bahkan Ratu Ester pun hanya mengundang aku dan raja ke perjamuan yang diadakannya bagi kami, dan besok malam kami diundangnya lagi. |
| Indonesian-Terjemahan Lama | Dan lagi kata Haman: Seorangpun tiada dijemput oleh permaisuri Ester akan datang serta baginda kepada perjamuan yang telah diperbuatnya melainkan aku seorang jua, dan pada esok haripun aku dijemput olehnya serta dengan baginda. |
| Italian | Aggiunse: «Anche la regina Ester non ha invitato con il re nessun altro se non me al banchetto che ha dato; anche per domani sono invitato da lei con il re. |
| Manx Gaelic | Dooyrt Haman ny sodjey, Cha ren Esther y ven-rein cuirrey dooinney erbee marish y ree gys y yien v'ee er n'aarlaghey agh mee hene, as mairagh myrgeddin t'ee er m'y chuirrey dy ve marish y ree. |
| Maori | I mea ano a Hamana, He pono kihai tetahi i tukua mai e te kuini, e Ehetere hei hoa mo te kingi ki te hakari i taka e ia, ko ahau anake; kua kiia mai ano ahau hei hoa atu mo te kingi ki a ia apopo. |
| Norwegian | Og Haman sa: Heller ikke lot dronning Ester nogen annen enn mig komme med kongen til det gjestebud hun hadde stelt til, og også til imorgen er jeg innbudt av henne sammen med kongen. |
| Portuguese | E acrescentou: Tampouco a rainha Ester a ninguém fez vir com o rei ao banquete que preparou, senão a mim; e também para amanhã estou convidado por ela juntamente com o rei. |
| Rumanian | Wi a adqugat: ,,Eu sknt chiar singurul pe care kmpqrqteasa Estera l -a primit kmpreunq cu kmpqratul la ospqyul pe care l -a fqcut, wi sknt poftit wi pe mkne la ea cu kmpqratul. |
| Swedish | Och Haman sade ytterligare: "Icke heller har drottning Ester låtit någon annan än mig komma med konungen till det gästabud, som hon hade tillrett; och jämväl i morgon är jag bjuden till henne, jämte konungen. |
