Estera 7:2-4
Cornilescu 1924 - Revised 2010, 2014
2 În această a doua zi, împăratul a zis iarăşi Esterei pe când beau(A) vin: „Care este cererea ta, împărăteasă Estera? Ea îţi va fi împlinită. Ce doreşti? Chiar dacă ai cere jumătate din împărăţie, o vei căpăta.” 3 Împărăteasa Estera a răspuns: „Dacă am căpătat trecere înaintea ta, împărate, şi dacă găseşte cu cale împăratul, dă-mi viaţa – iată cererea mea – şi scapă pe poporul meu; iată dorinţa mea! 4 Căci eu şi poporul meu suntem vânduţi(B) să fim nimiciţi, înjunghiaţi şi prăpădiţi. Măcar dacă am fi vânduţi să fim robi şi roabe, aş tăcea, dar vrăjmaşul n-ar putea să înlocuiască pierderea făcută împăratului.”

Esther 7:2-4
New International Version
2 and as they were drinking wine(A) 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,(B) it will be granted.(C)”
3 Then Queen Esther answered, “If I have found favor(D) 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.(E) 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]”
