TL;DR: For the canonical Esther, no such version is extant, nor is there evidence that one ever existed as mentioned in this paper, and it is common knowledge that the extant Greek versions of Esther, both the longer Septuagint text and the shorter A-text, are textually distant from the Hebrew Masoretic version.
Abstract: Eifty years ago, Charles C. Torrey, writing about Esther, asked on the 1 pages of this journal, "Why is there no Greek translation of the Hebrew text? Every other book of the Hebrew Bible, whatever its nature, has its faithful rendering (at least one, often several) in Greek. For the canonical Esther, on the contrary, no such version is extant, nor is there evidence that one ever existed." It is common knowledge that the extant Greek versions of Esther, both the longer Septuagint text and the shorter A-text,2 are textually distant from the Hebrew Masoretic version. Indeed, the distance is so great that when a passage in the Complutensian edition (5:1-2) does correspond to the Masoretic text, Robert Hanhart confidently labels it as "newly

Ces theories s'elevaient deja a l'encontre de Michael Fishbane et de son livre Biblical Interpretatio in Ancient Israel (Oxford 1985). Pour contredire son adversaire, l'A. montre dans un premier temps en quoi celui-ci a mecompris Fishbane. Puis il s'etend davantage sur les notions mises en cause, afin de les definir precisement et d'en montrer l'utilite methodologique dans l'hermeneutique biblique

TL;DR: The representation of the divine name in the Masoretic tradition and in the early translations of the Septuagint is the subject of ongoing discussion as discussed by the authors, and it can be demonstrated that even the oldest Masoretical vocalization as preserved, among others, in codex L must refer to adonai (the Lord) rather than shema (the Name).
Abstract: The representation of the divine name in the Masoretic tradition and in the early translations of the Septuagint is the subject of ongoing discussion. It can be demonstrated that even the oldest Masoretic vocalization as preserved, among others, in codex L must refer to adonai (the Lord) rather than shema (the Name). By means of exegetical observations in the Greek version of the Torah, it becomes clear that already the translators of the Septuagint have chosen 'Lord' (kyrios) as an appropriate representation of the tetragrammaton; the replacement by the Hebrew tetragrammaton in some Greek manuscripts is not original. Moreover, it becomes clear that the translators of the Septuagint were influenced by theological considerations when choosing an equivalent for the divine name.
