1 Now it came1961 to pass on the third7992 day,3117 that Esther635 put3847 on her royal4438 apparel,3847 and stood5975 in the inner6442 court2691 of the king's4428 house,1004 over5227 against5227 the king's4428 house:1004 and the king4428 sat3427 on his royal4438 throne3678 in the royal4438 house,1004 over5227 against5227 the gate6607 of the house.1004

1 越三日后衣朝服、進深宮、入內院、至殿前、王坐於堂上。

2 And it was so, when the king4428 saw7200 Esther635 the queen4436 standing5975 in the court,2691 that she obtained5375 favor2580 in his sight:5869 and the king4428 held3447 out to Esther635 the golden2091 scepter8275 that was in his hand.3027 So Esther635 drew near,7126 and touched5060 the top7218 of the scepter.8275
|
2 見后立於殿前、特加恩寵、爰舉金杖、后前捫其杖。
|
|
3 Then said559 the king4428 to her, What4100 will you, queen4436 Esther?635 and what4100 is your request?1246 it shall be even given5414 you to the half2677 of the kingdom.4438
|
3 王曰、后來何求、卽國之半我亦予爾。
|
|
4 And Esther635 answered,559 If518 it seem good2895 to the king,4428 let the king4428 and Haman2001 come935 this day3117 to the banquet4960 that I have prepared6213 for him.
|
4 后曰、我已設宴、如惬王意、則令哈曼侍王赴宴。
|
|
5 Then the king4428 said,559 Cause Haman2001 to make haste,4116 that he may do6213 as Esther635 has said.1697 So the king4428 and Haman2001 came935 to the banquet4960 that Esther635 had prepared.6213
|
5 王命哈曼速行如后所言、於是王及哈曼偕赴后筵。
|
|
6 And the king4428 said559 to Esther635 at the banquet4960 of wine,3196 What4100 is your petition?7596 and it shall be granted5414 you: and what4100 is your request?1246 even to the half2677 of the kingdom4438 it shall be performed.6213
|
6 宴飲之時、王謂后曰、爾有何求、卽國之半、我亦予爾。
|
|
7 Then answered6032 Esther,635 and said,559 My petition7596 and my request1246 is;
|
7 后曰、如王悅、從我所請、明日王與哈曼赴宴、我乃以所求陳於王前。
|
|
8 If518 I have found4672 favor2580 in the sight5869 of the king,4428 and if518 it please2895 the king4428 to grant5414 my petition,7596 and to perform6213 my request,1246 let the king4428 and Haman2001 come935 to the banquet4960 that I shall prepare6213 for them, and I will do6213 to morrow4279 as the king4428 has said.1697

9 Then went3318 Haman2001 forth3318 that day3117 joyful8056 and with a glad2896 heart:3820 but when Haman2001 saw7200 Mordecai4782 in the king's4428 gate,8179 that he stood6965 not up, nor3808 moved2111 for him, he was full4390 of indignation2534 against5921 Mordecai.4782
|
9 哈曼中心欣喜、退見木底改於御閽、不起、亦不揖、益怒。
|
|
10 Nevertheless Haman2001 refrained662 himself: and when he came935 home,1004 he sent7971 and called935 for his friends,157 and Zeresh2238 his wife.802
|
10 強忍而歸、招其友及妻西勒至、
|
|
11 And Haman2001 told5608 them of the glory3519 of his riches,6239 and the multitude7230 of his children,1121 and all3605 the things wherein834 the king4428 had promoted1431 him, and how834 he had advanced5375 him above5921 the princes8269 and servants5650 of the king.4428
|
11 以其財貨之富、子女之繁、王擢於諸伯百寮之上、一切告之。
|
|
12 Haman2001 said559 moreover,637 Yes, Esther635 the queen4436 did let no3808 man come935 in with the king4428 to the banquet4960 that she had prepared6213 but myself; and to morrow4279 am I invited7121 to her also1571 with the king.4428
|
12 又曰、后宴王、羣臣皆不得與、惟我一人侍食、明日宴王、我又見請。
|
|
13 Yet all3605 this2088 avails7737 me nothing,369 so6256 long6256 as I see7200 Mordecai4782 the Jew3064 sitting3427 at the king's4428 gate.8179
|
13 惟見猶大人木底改在御閽、箕踞以待、我雖富貴、亦不足快我心。
|
|
14 Then said559 Zeresh2238 his wife802 and all3605 his friends157 to him, Let a gallows6086 be made6213 of fifty2572 cubits520 high,1364 and to morrow1242 speak559 you to the king4428 that Mordecai4782 may be hanged8518 thereon:5921 then go935 you in merrily8056 with the king4428 to the banquet.4960 And the thing1697 pleased3190 Haman;2001 and he caused the gallows6086 to be made.6213
|
14 其妻西勒與諸友謂之曰、當立木高五丈、明日求王、懸木底改於上、然後從王赴宴、則爾心快然矣、哈曼善其言、使立木焉、
