Vietnamese 1994 (Lời Chúa Cho Mọi Người) (Translated by 1 Pastor)
Ông Moóc-đo-khai trao cho ông bản sao sắc chỉ đã công bố ở Su-san nhằm huỷ diệt họ, mục đích là cho bà Ét-te xem bản sao đó và biết các sự việc. Ông Moóc-đo-khai cũng nhắn bà phải vào chầu vua để xin vua tỏ lòng nhân hậu và khẩn nài vua thương xót dân tộc bà. Ông nhắn rằng : Con hãy nhớ lại thuở hàn vi của con, những ngày con đã được chính tay cha nuôi dưỡng. Người chiếm địa vị thứ nhì trong vương quốc là Ha-man đã đề nghị vua chống lại chúng ta, nhằm dẫn chúng ta đến chỗ chết. Con hãy cầu khẩn Chúa và xin vua thương tình tha chết cho chúng ta.
