Ester 7
1 Der Kongen og Haman vare komne at drikke hos Dronning Esther,
And he went the king and Haman to drink with Esther the queen.
2 da sagde Kongen til Esther ogsaa anden Dag under Gæstebudet ved Vinen: Hvad er din Bøn, Dronning Esther? og det skal gives dig; og hvad er din Begæring? var det indtil Halvdelen af Riget, da skal det ske.
And he said the king to Esther also on the day second at [the] feast of wine what? [is] petition your O Esther the queen so it may be given to you and what? [is] request your up to half of the kingdom and it may be done.
3 Og Dronning Esther svarede og sagde: Dersom jeg har fundet Naade for dine Øjne, o Konge! og dersom det synes Kongen godt, da lad der gives mig mit Liv for min Bøns Skyld og mit Folk for min Begærings Skyld!
And she answered Esther the queen and she said if I have found favor in view your O king and if [is] on the king good let it be given to me life my for petition my and people my for request my.
4 Thi vi ere solgte, jeg og mit Folk, til at ødelægges, at ihjelslaaes og at udryddes; og vare vi endda solgte til Tjenere og til Tjenestepiger, saa vilde jeg have tiet; thi Fjenden kan ikke oprette Kongen den Skade.
For we have been sold I and people my to annihilate to kill and to destroy and if to male slaves and to female slaves we had been sold I kept quiet for not the distress [is] equal for [the] injury of the king.
5 Da svarede Kong Ahasverus og sagde til Dronning Esther: Hvo er den, eller hvor er han, som har taget sig for i sit Hjerte at gøre saaledes?
And he said the king Ahasuerus and he said to Esther the queen who? [is] he this and where? this [is] he whom it has filled him heart his to do thus.
6 Og Esther sagde: Den Mand, den Modstander og Fjende, er denne onde Haman; og Haman blev forfærdet for Kongens og Dronningens Ansigt.
And she said Esther a man an opponent and an enemy Haman evil this and Haman he was terrified from to before the king and the queen.
7 Og Kongen stod op i sin Harme fra Gæstebudet og Vinen og gik ned i Haven ved Paladset; og Haman blev staaende for at bede Dronning Esther om sit Liv; thi han saa, at der var besluttet en Ulykke over ham af Kongen.
And the king he rose up in rage his from [the] feast of wine into [the] garden of the palace and Haman he remained to seek on life his from Esther the queen for he saw that it was determined against him harm from with the king.
8 Og Kongen kom tilbage fra Haven ved Paladset til Huset, hvor der havde været Gæstebud med Vin; men Haman var segnet ned over Bænken, som Esther sad paa; da sagde Kongen: Vil han og øve Vold imod Dronningen hos mig i Huset? Ordet var udgaaet af Kongens Mund, og de tilhyllede Hamans Ansigt.
And the king he returned from [the] garden of the palace to [the] house of - [the] feast of wine and Haman [was] falling on the couch which Esther [was] on it and he said the king ¿ also to violate the queen with me in the house the word it came out from [the] mouth of the king and [the] face of Haman people covered.
9 Og Harbona, en af Kammertjenerne, som stode for Kongens Ansigt, sagde: Se, der staar ogsaa Træet, som Haman har lavet til for Mardokaj, der talte, hvad der var godt for Kongen, ved Hamans Hus, halvtredsindstyve Alen højt; da sagde Kongen: Hænger ham derpaa!
And he said Harbona one of the eunuchs before the king also there! the gallows which he has made Haman for Mordecai who he spoke good on the king [is] standing at [the] house of Haman high fifty cubit[s] and he said the king hang him on it.
10 Saa hængte de Haman paa Træet, som han havde ladet lave til for Mardokaj; og Kongens Harme stilledes.
And they hanged Haman on the gallows which he had prepared for Mordecai and [the] rage of the king it subsided.
