3 Then the king’s servants who were in the king’s gate said to Mordecai, “ Why do you disobey the king’s commandment?”Then the king’s servants, that were in the king’s gate, said unto Mordecai, Why transgressest thou the king’s commandment?그러자 왕궁 문에 있는 왕의 신하들이 모르드개에게 말하였다. "당신은 어찌하여 왕의 명령을 어기는 것이오?"

6 But he scorned the thought of laying hands on Mordecai alone, for they had made known to him Mordecai’s people. Therefore Haman sought to destroy all the Jews who were throughout the whole kingdom of Ahasuerus, even Mordecai’s people.But he thought scorn to lay hands on Mordecai alone; for they had made known to him the people of Mordecai: wherefore Haman sought to destroy all the Jews that were throughout the whole kingdom of Ahasuerus, even the people of Mordecai.그러나 그는 모르드개 한 사람에게만 손을 대는 것을 하찮게 여겼으니, 이는 사람들이 모르드개의 백성이 누구인지 그에게 알렸기 때문이다. 그리하여 하만은 아하수에로의 온 나라에 있는 모든 유대 사람, 곧 모르드개의 백성을 멸하려고 하였다.

"한 백성이 있는데, 그들은 왕의 나라 모든 지방의 백성들 가운데 흩어져 퍼져 있으며, 그들의 법은 다른 모든 백성의 법과 다릅니다. 그들은 왕의 법을 지키지 않으니, 그들을 그대로 두는 것은 왕께 유익이 되지 않습니다.

11 The king said to Haman, “ The silver is given to you, the people also, to do with them as it seems good to you.”And the king said unto Haman, The silver is given to thee, the people also, to do with them as it seemeth good to thee.왕이 하만에게 말하였다. "그 은은 그대에게 주고, 그 백성도 그대에게 주니, 그대가 보기에 좋을 대로 그들에게 행하시오."
