complete verse (Esther 2:9)

Following are a number of back-translations as well as a sample translation for translators of Esther 2:9:

  • Kupsabiny: “Hegai was impressed with/happy with Esther and treated her more than the other girls. He quickly gave her things for beautifying and fed her with good food which had been cooked in a good/special way. Hegai again gave Esther seven girls who were the king’s maids so they could do for her work. He then separated Esther from the other girls and made her stay with those her maids in the inner room which was very good in that house of the women.” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation)
  • Newari: “Seeing Esther, Hegai was very pleased with her and Esther received many favors from him. Like this, having done grooming for Esther, he brought special food and grooming materials (cosmetics). Esther was kept in the most beautiful part of the royal palace harem, and he sent seven maid servants chosen in the royal palace to do her grooming.” (Source: Newari Back Translation)
  • Hiligaynon: “Hegay was-pleased with Ester, and his treatment of her was good/well. He then gave Ester food and needs for becoming-beautiful. He also gave her seven female servants from the king’s palace itself, and had- her and her servants -lived in the best/nicest room.” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
  • Eastern Bru: “Esther pleased Hegai, and he felt favor toward her. So he cared for her and had them massage her body so that it would become even more beautiful. He gave Esther to eat food more delicious than he gave the other, and he gave her to live in a place that was more beautiful than that of the other women. And he gave her seven women to become her servants.” (Source: Bru Back Translation)
  • English: “Hegai was very pleased with Esther, and he treated her well. He immediately arranged for her to be given ointments to make her even more beautiful, and he ordered that special food would be given to her. He arranged that seven maids from the king’s palace would take care of her, and arranged that she/they would stay in the best rooms.” (Source: Translation for Translators)
