[If] someone read the Megillah out of sequence, he has not fulfilled his obligation. [If] he read it by heart, [or if] he read it in Targum [or] in any other language, he has not fulfilled his obligation. However, we may read it for those who speak a foreign language in a foreign language. One who speaks a foreign language and heard it [read in Hebrew that was written] in Assyrian [script] has fulfilled his obligation.
