(5:1) Καὶ ἐγενήθη ἐν τῇ ἡµέρᾳ τῇ τρίτῃ, ὡς ἐπαύσατο προσευχοµένη, ἐξεδύσατο τὰ ἱµάτια τῆς θεραπείας καὶ περιεβάλετο τὴν δόξαν αὐτῆς

(5:1b) καὶ αὐτὴ ἐρυθριῶσα ἀκµῇ κάλλους αὐτῆς, καὶ τὸ πρόσωπον αὐτῆς ἱλαρὸν ὡς προσφιλές, ἡ δὲ καρδία αὐτῆς ἀπεστενωµένη ἀπὸ τοῦ φόβου.

(5:1c) καὶ εἰσελθοῦσα πάσας τὰς θύρας κατέστη ἐνώπιον τοῦ βασιλέως, καὶ αὐτὸς ἐκάθητο ἐπὶ τοῦ θρόνου τῆς βασιλείας αὐτοῦ καὶ πᾶσαν στολὴν τῆς ἐπιφανείας αὐτοῦ ἐνεδεδύκει, ὅλος διὰ χρυσοῦ καὶ λίθων πολυτελῶν, καὶ ἦν φοβερὸς σφόδρα.

But God changed the spirit of the king gentleness, and in intense feeling he sprang from off his throne, and took her into his arms, until she recovered: and he comforted her with peaceable words,	(1e) καὶ µετέβαλεν ὁ θεὸς τὸ πνεῦµα τοῦ βασιλέως εἰς πραύ̈τητα, καὶ ἀγωνιάσας ἀνεπήδησεν ἀπὸ τοῦ θρόνου αὐτοῦ καὶ ἀνέλαβεν αὐτὴν ἐπὶ τὰς ἀγκάλας αὐτοῦ, µέχρις οὗ κατέστη, καὶ παρεκάλει αὐτὴν λόγοις εἰρηνικοῖς
(ⲑ︦) (15:9)	and said to her, What is the matter, Esther? I am thy brother; be of good cheer,	καὶ εἶπεν αὐτῇ (5:1f) Τί ἐστιν, Εσθηρ; ἐγὼ ὁ ἀδελφός σου, θάρσει,
(ⲓ︦) (15:10)	thou shalt not die, for our command is openly declared to thee,	οὐ µὴ ἀποθάνῃς, ὅτι κοινὸν τὸ πρόσταγµα ἡµῶν ἐστιν·

(ⲓ︦ⲃ︦) (15:12)	(5:2) And having raised the golden sceptre he laid it upon her neck, and embraced her, and said, Speak to me.	(5:2) καὶ ἄρας τὴν χρυσῆν ῥάβδον ἐπέθηκεν ἐπὶ τὸν τράχηλον αὐτῆς καὶ ἠσπάσατο αὐτὴν καὶ εἶπεν Λάλησόν µοι.
(ⲓ︦ⲅ︦) (15:13)	And she said to him, I saw thee, my lord, as an angel of God, and my heart was troubled for fear of thy glory;	(5:2a) καὶ εἶπεν αὐτῷ Εἶδόν σε, κύριε, ὡς ἄíελον θεοῦ, καὶ ἐταράχθη ἡ καρδία µου ἀπὸ φόβου τῆς δόξης σου·
(ⲓ︦ⲇ︦) (15:14)	for thou, my lord, art to be wondered at, and thy face is full of grace.	ὅτι θαυµαστὸς εἶ, κύριε, καὶ τὸ πρόσωπόν σου χαρίτων µεστόν.
(ⲓ︦ⲉ︦) (15:15)	And while she was speaking, she fainted and fell.	(5:2b) ἐν δὲ τῷ διαλέγεσθαι αὐτὴν ἔπεσεν ἀπὸ ἐκλύσεως αὐτῆς,
(ⲓ︦ⲋ︦) (15:16)	Then the king was troubled, and all his servants comforted her.	καὶ ὁ βασιλεὺς ἐταράσσετο, καὶ πᾶσα ἡ θεραπεία αὐτοῦ παρεκάλει αὐτήν.
