4. ஏனென்றால், நானும் எனது ஜனங்களும் அழியவும், கொல்லப்படவும் விற்கப்பட்டோம். அடிமைகளாக விற்கப்பட்டால் கூட நான் மௌனமாக இருப்பேன். ஏனென்றால் அது அரசனைத் துன்புறத்துகிற ஒரு பிரச்சினையாக இருக்கமுடியாது" என்றாள்.

TOV
4. எங்களை அழித்துக்கொன்று நிர்மூலமாக்கும்படி நானும் என் ஜனங்களும் விற்கப்பட்டோம்; அடிமைகளாகவும் வெள்ளாட்டிகளாகவும் விற்கப்பட்டுப் போனாலும் நான் மவுனமாயிருப்பேன்; இப்பொழுதோ ராஜாவுக்கு உண்டாகும் நஷ்டத்துக்கு அந்தச் சத்துரு உத்தரவாதம்பண்ண முடியாது என்றாள்.

4. எங்களை அழித்துக் கொல்லும்படி நானும் என்னுடைய மக்களும் விற்கப்பட்டோம்; ஆண்களும், பெண்களும் அடிமைகளாக விற்கப்பட்டுப்போனாலும் நான் மவுனமாக இருப்பேன்; இப்பொழுதோ ராஜாவிற்கு உண்டாகும் நஷ்டத்திற்கு அந்த எதிரி உத்திரவாதம் பண்ணமுடியாது என்றாள்.

ECTA
4. என் மக்களும் நானும் கொலையுண்டு அழிந்து ஒழிந்து போகும்படி விலை பேசப்பட்டிருக்கிறோம்; ஆண்களும் பெண்களுமாக நாங்கள் அடிமைகளாய் விற்கப்பட்டிருந்தால் கூட நான் மௌனமாய் இருந்திருப்பேன். ஆனால் மன்னருக்கு உண்டாகும் இழப்பிற்கு எதிரியால் ஈடுசெய்ய முடியாது" என்று பதிலிறுத்தார்.

RCTA
4. ஏனென்றால், நானும் என் குலத்தவரும் மிதிபட்டு வாளுக்கு இரையாகி அடியோடு அழியும்படி விற்கப்பட்டுள்ளோம். அடிமைகளாக நாங்கள் விற்கப்பட்டாலும் பரவாயில்லை; அதை எங்களால் தாங்கிக் கொள்ள முடியும்; நானும் அதுபற்றி மனம் வருந்தினாலும் ஒன்றும் பேசாமல் இருந்து விடுவேன். ஆனால், இப்பொழுது எம் பகைவனின் கொடும் செயலால் அரசரின் பெயருமல்லவா கெடுகின்றது!" என்றாள்.

OCVTA
4. ஏனெனில் நானும் எனது மக்களும் அழிவுக்கும், கொலைக்கும், நாசத்திற்கும் விற்கப்பட்டிருக்கிறோம். நாங்கள் ஆணும் பெண்ணும் அடிமைகளாக விற்கப்பட்டிருந்தால்கூட நான் பேசாமல் இருந்திருப்பேன். ஏனெனில், அப்படியான ஒரு துன்பம் அரசரை கஷ்டப்படுத்துவதற்கு ஏற்ற காரணமாய் இருந்திருக்காது” என்றாள்.
