Ester 7
Reina Valera Contemporánea
Amán es ahorcado
7 El rey fue con Amán al banquete de la reina Ester. 2 En el segundo día, mientras bebían vino, el rey le preguntó a Ester:
«¿Cuál es tu petición, reina Ester? Te será concedida. ¿Qué es lo que pides? Aunque pidas la mitad del reino, te será otorgada.»
3 La reina Ester respondió:
«Si en verdad soy del agrado de Su Majestad, y si a Su Majestad le parece bien, mi petición es que se me conceda la vida de mi pueblo y mi propia vida. 4 Porque a mi pueblo y a mí se nos ha vendido. ¡Se nos quiere destruir, matar y exterminar! Si se nos hubiera vendido para ser esclavos y esclavas, me callaría; pero nuestra muerte será para Su Majestad un daño irreparable.»
5 Como respuesta, el rey Asuero le preguntó a la reina Ester:
«¿Quién es, y dónde está, el que ha abrigado en su corazón hacer tal cosa?»
6 Ester dijo:
«El enemigo y adversario es este malvado Amán.»
Entonces Amán se trastornó ante el rey y la reina. 7 Lleno de ira, el rey se levantó del banquete y se fue al huerto del palacio, mientras que Amán se quedó para suplicarle a la reina Ester que le perdonara la vida, pues se dio cuenta del peligro que corría por el enojo del rey. 8 Cuando el rey volvió del huerto del palacio al aposento del banquete, y vio que Amán estaba recostado sobre el lecho donde estaba Ester, le dijo:
«¿Acaso quieres también violar a la reina en mi propia casa?»
Al proferir el rey estas palabras, le cubrieron el rostro a Amán. 9 Entonces Jarboná, que era uno de los eunucos del rey, dijo:
«En la casa de Amán hay una horca de cincuenta codos de altura. La mandó hacer Amán para colgar a Mardoqueo, que fue quien habló en favor del rey.»
Y el rey ordenó:
«¡Cuelguen de ella a Amán!»
10 Y así Amán fue colgado en la horca que había mandado preparar para Mardoqueo. Con esto, la ira del rey se calmó.
Esther 7
English Standard Version
7 So the king and Haman went in to feast with Queen Esther. 2 And on the second day, as they were drinking wine after the feast, the king again said to Esther, (A)“What is your wish, Queen Esther? It shall be granted you. And what is your request? (B)Even to the half of my kingdom, it shall be fulfilled.” 3 Then Queen Esther answered, (C)“If I have found favor in your sight, O king, and if it please the king, let my life be granted me for my wish, and my people for my request. 4 (D)For we have been sold, I and my people, (E)to be destroyed, to be killed, and to be annihilated. If we had been sold merely as slaves, men and women, I would have been silent, for our affliction is not to be compared with the loss to the king.” 5 Then King Ahasuerus said to Queen Esther, “Who is he, and where is he, who has dared[a] to do this?” 6 And Esther said, (F)“A foe and enemy! This wicked Haman!” Then Haman was terrified before the king and the queen.
Haman Is Hanged
7 And the king arose in his wrath from the wine-drinking and went into (G)the palace garden, but Haman stayed to beg for his life from Queen Esther, for he saw that harm was determined against him by the king. 8 And the king returned from (H)the palace garden to the place where they were drinking wine, as Haman was falling on (I)the couch where Esther was. And the king said, “Will he even assault the queen in my presence, in my own house?” As the word left the mouth of the king, they covered Haman's face. 9 Then (J)Harbona, one of the eunuchs in attendance on the king, said, “Moreover, (K)the gallows[b] that Haman has prepared for Mordecai, (L)whose word saved the king, is standing at Haman's house, fifty cubits[c] high.” And the king said, “Hang him on that.” 10 (M)So they hanged Haman on the gallows that he had prepared for Mordecai. (N)Then the wrath of the king abated.

Esther 7
New International Version
Haman Impaled
7 So the king and Haman went to Queen Esther’s banquet,(A) 2 and as they were drinking wine(B) on the second day, the king again asked, “Queen Esther, what is your petition? It will be given you. What is your request? Even up to half the kingdom,(C) it will be granted.(D)”
3 Then Queen Esther answered, “If I have found favor(E) with you, Your Majesty, and if it pleases you, grant me my life—this is my petition. And spare my people—this is my request. 4 For I and my people have been sold to be destroyed, killed and annihilated.(F) If we had merely been sold as male and female slaves, I would have kept quiet, because no such distress would justify disturbing the king.[a]”
5 King Xerxes asked Queen Esther, “Who is he? Where is he—the man who has dared to do such a thing?”
6 Esther said, “An adversary and enemy! This vile Haman!”
Then Haman was terrified before the king and queen. 7 The king got up in a rage,(G) left his wine and went out into the palace garden.(H) But Haman, realizing that the king had already decided his fate,(I) stayed behind to beg Queen Esther for his life.
8 Just as the king returned from the palace garden to the banquet hall, Haman was falling on the couch(J) where Esther was reclining.(K)
The king exclaimed, “Will he even molest the queen while she is with me in the house?”(L)
As soon as the word left the king’s mouth, they covered Haman’s face.(M) 9 Then Harbona,(N) one of the eunuchs attending the king, said, “A pole reaching to a height of fifty cubits[b](O) stands by Haman’s house. He had it set up for Mordecai, who spoke up to help the king.”
The king said, “Impale him on it!”(P) 10 So they impaled(Q) Haman(R) on the pole(S) he had set up for Mordecai.(T) Then the king’s fury subsided.(U)

Есф 7
Священное Писание (Восточный перевод), версия с «Аллахом»
Казнь Амана
7 Царь с Аманом отправились пировать у царицы Есфири. 2 И когда они пили вино во второй день, царь спросил опять:
– Царица Есфирь, чего ты хочешь? Всё тебе будет. Какова твоя просьба? Даже полцарства – всё получишь!
3 И царица Есфирь ответила:
– О царь, если я нашла у тебя расположение и если это угодно царю, то сохрани мне жизнь – вот чего я хочу. И пощади мой народ – вот моя просьба. 4 Ведь я и мой народ проданы на погибель, уничтожение и искоренение. Если бы нас всего лишь продали как рабов и рабынь, я бы смолчала и не стала из-за этого беспокоить царя[a].
5 Царь Ксеркс спросил царицу Есфирь:
– Кто же он? Кто осмелился такое сделать?
6 Есфирь сказала:
– Противник и враг – этот подлый Аман.
И Аман задрожал от страха перед царём и царицей. 7 Царь в гневе поднялся с места, оставил вино и вышел во дворцовый сад. А Аман, понимая, что царь уже решил его судьбу, остался, чтобы умолять царицу Есфирь даровать ему жизнь. 8 В тот момент, когда царь вернулся из дворцового сада в пиршественный зал, Аман как раз приник к ложу, где возлежала царица Есфирь.
Царь вскричал:
– Да что же это такое, он ещё вздумал изнасиловать царицу прямо в моём дворце?!
Едва лишь слово слетело с уст царя, Аману накрыли лицо. 9 И Харбона, один из евнухов, прислуживавших царю, сказал:
– Вот и виселица высотой в двадцать два метра[b] стоит у Аманова дома; он приготовил её для Мардохея, чьё слово спасло царя.
Царь сказал:
– Вот и повесьте его на ней!
10 И Амана повесили на виселице, которую он приготовил для Мардохея. И ярость царя улеглась.
