The Hebrew and Greek that is rendered in English translations as “Haman hurried to his house, mourning and with his head covered” was translated into Afar as Haaman wacarriyih namma gaba amol luk isi buxah arduk yuduure.: “Haman, having both hands on his head in shame, returned to his home running.” (Shame is shown by placing both hands on top of one’s head.)

In Newari it is translated as “Haman, however, being ashamed, with bursting heart, hurried back to his own house” (source: Newari Back Translation).
