Esther 7
King James Version
7 So the king and Haman came to banquet with Esther the queen.
2 And the king said again unto Esther on the second day at the banquet of wine, What is thy petition, queen Esther? and it shall be granted thee: and what is thy request? and it shall be performed, even to the half of the kingdom.
3 Then Esther the queen answered and said, If I have found favour in thy sight, O king, and if it please the king, let my life be given me at my petition, and my people at my request:
4 For we are sold, I and my people, to be destroyed, to be slain, and to perish. But if we had been sold for bondmen and bondwomen, I had held my tongue, although the enemy could not countervail the king's damage.
5 Then the king Ahasuerus answered and said unto Esther the queen, Who is he, and where is he, that durst presume in his heart to do so?
6 And Esther said, The adversary and enemy is this wicked Haman. Then Haman was afraid before the king and the queen.
7 And the king arising from the banquet of wine in his wrath went into the palace garden: and Haman stood up to make request for his life to Esther the queen; for he saw that there was evil determined against him by the king.
8 Then the king returned out of the palace garden into the place of the banquet of wine; and Haman was fallen upon the bed whereon Esther was. Then said the king, Will he force the queen also before me in the house? As the word went out of king's mouth, they covered Haman's face.
9 And Harbonah, one of the chamberlains, said before the king, Behold also, the gallows fifty cubits high, which Haman had made for Mordecai, who spoken good for the king, standeth in the house of Haman. Then the king said, Hang him thereon.
10 So they hanged Haman on the gallows that he had prepared for Mordecai. Then was the king's wrath pacified.
Estera 7
Cornilescu 1924 - Revised 2010, 2014
Haman, dat de gol
7 Împăratul şi Haman s-au dus la ospăţ la împărăteasa Estera. 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.” 5 Împăratul Ahaşveroş a luat cuvântul şi a zis împărătesei Estera: „Cine şi unde este acela care are de gând să facă aşa?” 6 Estera a răspuns: „Apăsătorul, vrăjmaşul, este Haman, răul acesta!” Haman a rămas îngrozit în faţa împăratului şi a împărătesei. 7 Şi împăratul, în mânia lui, s-a sculat şi a părăsit ospăţul şi s-a dus în grădina casei împărăteşti. Haman a rămas să-şi ceară viaţa de la împărăteasa Estera, căci vedea bine că pierderea lui era hotărâtă în mintea împăratului. 8 Când s-a întors împăratul din grădina casei împărăteşti în odaia ospăţului, a văzut pe Haman că se aruncase spre(C) patul pe care era Estera şi i-a zis: „Cum, să mai şi sileşti pe împărăteasă la mine, în casa împărătească?” Cum au ieşit cuvintele acestea din gura împăratului, i-au şi acoperit(D) faţa lui Haman. 9 Şi Harbona(E), unul din fameni, a zis în faţa împăratului: „Iată, spânzurătoarea(F) pregătită de Haman pentru Mardoheu, care a vorbit spre binele împăratului, este ridicată în casa lui Haman, la o înălţime de cincizeci de coţi.” Împăratul a zis: „Haman să fie spânzurat pe ea!” 10 Şi au spânzurat(G) pe Haman pe spânzurătoarea pe care o pregătise el pentru Mardoheu. Şi mânia împăratului s-a potolit.
Esther 7
New King James Version
Haman Hanged Instead of Mordecai
7 So the king and Haman went to dine with Queen Esther. 2 And on the second day, (A)at the banquet of wine, the king again said to Esther, “What is your petition, Queen Esther? It shall be granted you. And what is your request, up to half the kingdom? It shall be done!”
3 Then Queen Esther answered and said, “If I have found favor in your sight, O king, and if it pleases the king, let my life be given me at my petition, and my people at my request. 4 For we have been (B)sold, my people and I, to be destroyed, to be killed, and to be annihilated. Had we been sold as (C)male and female slaves, I would have held my tongue, although the enemy could never compensate for the king’s loss.”
5 So King Ahasuerus answered and said to Queen Esther, “Who is he, and where is he, who would dare presume in his heart to do such a thing?”
6 And Esther said, “The adversary and (D)enemy is this wicked Haman!”
So Haman was terrified before the king and queen.
7 Then the king arose in his wrath from the banquet of wine and went into the palace garden; but Haman stood before Queen Esther, pleading for his life, for he saw that evil was determined against him by the king. 8 When the king returned from the palace garden to the place of the banquet of wine, Haman had fallen across (E)the couch where Esther was. Then the king said, “Will he also assault the queen while I am in the house?”
As the word left the king’s mouth, they (F)covered Haman’s face. 9 Now (G)Harbonah, one of the eunuchs, said to the king, “Look! (H)The [a]gallows, fifty cubits high, which Haman made for Mordecai, who spoke (I)good on the king’s behalf, is standing at the house of Haman.”
Then the king said, “Hang him on it!”
10 So (J)they (K)hanged Haman on the gallows that he had prepared for Mordecai. Then the king’s wrath subsided.
