Estera 7
1 Kralj i Haman dođoše na gozbu kraljici Esteri.
Therfor the kyng and Aaman entriden to the feeste, to drynke with the queen.
2 I toga drugoga dana, dok se pilo vino, reče kralj Esteri: "Koja ti je molba, kraljice Estero? Bit će ti udovoljena! Koja je tvoja želja? Ako je i pola kraljevstva, bit će ti!"
And the kyng seide to hir, yhe, in the secounde dai, aftir that he was hoot of the wiyn, Hester, what is thin axyng, that it be youun to thee, and what wolt thou be doon? Yhe, thouy thou axist the half part of my rewme, thou schalt gete.
3 Kraljica Estera odgovori: "Ako sam, kralju, našla milost u tvojim očima i ako ti je s voljom, neka mi se u ime molbe pokloni život, a u ime želje moj narod!
To whom sche answeride, A! king, if Y haue founde grace in thin iyen, and if it plesith thee, yyue thou my lijf to me, for which Y preie, and my puple, for which Y biseche.
4 Jer smo ja i narod moj predani za zator, klanje, uništenje. Da smo predani u roblje, šutjela bih jer nevolja ne bi bila štetna po kralja."
For Y and my puple ben youun, that we be defoulid, and stranglid, and that we perische; `and Y wolde, that we weren seeld in to seruauntis and seruauntessis, `and the yuel `were suffrable, and Y `were stille weilynge; but now oure enemy is, whos cruelte turneth `in to the kyng.
5 Ali kralj Ahasver upade kraljici Esteri u riječ pa je upita: "Tko je taj? Gdje je taj koji je namislio takvo što učiniti?" Estera tada odgovori: "Progonitelj i neprijatelj jest Haman, ovaj zlikovac!"
And kyng Assuerus answeride, and seide, Who is this, and of what power, that he be hardi to do these thingis?
6 Haman se zaprepasti pred kraljem i kraljicom.
And Hester seide, Oure worste aduersarie and enemy is this Aaman. Which thing he herde, and was astonyde anoon, and `suffride not to bere the semelaunt of the kyng and of the queen.
7 Kralj, gnjevan, ostavi vino te ode u vrt palače. Haman osta uz kraljicu da je moli za svoj život, jer je uvidio da je njegova nesreća pred kraljem gotova.
Forsothe the kyng roos wrooth, and fro the place of the feeste he entride in to a gardyn biset with trees. And Aaman roos for to preie Hester, the queen, for his lijf; for he vndurstood yuel maad redi of the kyng to hym.
8 Kralj se vrati iz vrta u dvoranu gdje se pilo vino. Dotle Haman bijaše pao na počivaljku na kojoj se nalazila Estera. "Pokušavaš još i nasilje nad kraljicom, i to u mome vlastitom domu?" - povika kralj. Tek što su te riječi izletjele iz kraljevih usta, pokriše lice Hamanu.
And whanne the kyng turnede ayen fro the gardyn `biset with wode, and hadde entrid in to the place of feeste he foond that Aaman felde doun on the bed, wherynne Hester lai. And the king seide, `Also he wole oppresse the queen, while Y am present, in myn hows. The word was not yit goon out of the kyngis mouth, and anoon thei hiliden his face.
9 Tada kaza Harbona, jedan od dvorana koji su stajali u službi kraljevoj: "Eno i vješala što ih je Haman pripravio za Mordokaja koji je govorio u korist kraljevu. Nalaze se kraj Hamanove kuće i visoka su pedeset lakata." Kralj zapovjedi: "Objesite ga na njih!"
And Arbona seide, oon of the onest seruauntis and chast, that stoden in the seruyce of the kyng, Lo! the tre hauynge fifti cubitis of heiythe stondith in the hows of Aaman, which tre he hadde maad redi to Mardochee, that spak for the kyng. To whom the kyng seide, Hange ye Aaman in that tre.
10 Hamana objesiše na vješala koja bijaše pripravio Mordokaju, i kraljeva se srdžba utiša.
Therfor Aaman was hangid in the iebat, which he hadde maad redi to Mardochee, and the ire of the kyng restide.
