וְ֠עַתָּה אֲשֶׁר־בָּ֜אתִי לְדַבֵּ֨ר אֶל־הַמֶּ֤לֶךְ אֲדֹנִי֙ אֶת־הַדָּבָ֣ר הַזֶּ֔ה כִּ֥י יֵֽרְאֻ֖נִי הָעָ֑ם וַתֹּ֤אמֶר שִׁפְחָֽתְךָ֙ אֲדַבְּרָה־נָּ֣א אֶל־הַמֶּ֔לֶךְ אוּלַ֛י יַעֲשֶׂ֥ה הַמֶּ֖לֶךְ אֶת־דְּבַ֥ר אֲמָתֽוֹ׃
Sekarang, aku datang untuk menyampaikan hal ini kepada tuanku raja karena rakyat telah membuat aku takut. Maka pikir hambamu ini, “Biarlah aku berbicara kepada raja; mungkin raja akan mengabulkan permohonan hambanya.”
Rashi
And now I came to speak to my master, the king these words. As a parable about myself and my son
Rashi
Because the people frightened me. They frightened me [away] from imploring my master concerning [the plight of] his son lest he become angry with me.
Rashi
Your handmaiden said, "I will speak." In this way [with a parable], perhaps he will take action etc.
