Esther 7
1 So the king and Haman came to take wine with Esther the queen.
Datanglah raja dengan Haman untuk dijamu oleh Ester, sang ratu.
2 And the king said to Esther again on the second day, while they were drinking, What is your prayer, Queen Esther? for it will be given to you; and what is your request? for it will be done, even to the half of my kingdom.
Pada hari yang kedua itu, sementara minum anggur, bertanyalah pula raja kepada Ester: "Apakah permintaanmu, hai ratu Ester? Niscaya akan dikabulkan. Dan apakah keinginanmu? Sampai setengah kerajaan sekalipun akan dipenuhi."
3 Then Esther the queen, answering, said, If I have your approval, O king, and if it is the king's pleasure, let my life be given to me in answer to my prayer, and my people at my request:
Maka jawab Ester, sang ratu: "Ya raja, jikalau hamba mendapat kasih raja dan jikalau baik pada pemandangan raja, karuniakanlah kiranya kepada hamba nyawa hamba atas permintaan hamba, dan bangsa hamba atas keinginan hamba.
4 For we are given up, I and my people, to destruction and death and to be cut off. If we had been taken as men-servants and women-servants for a price, I would have said nothing, for our trouble is little in comparison with the king's loss.
Karena kami, hamba serta bangsa hamba, telah terjual untuk dipunahkan, dibunuh dan dibinasakan. Jikalau seandainya kami hanya dijual sebagai budak laki-laki dan perempuan, niscaya hamba akan berdiam diri, tetapi malapetaka ini tiada taranya di antara bencana yang menimpa raja."
5 Then King Ahasuerus said to Esther the queen, Who is he and where is he who has had this evil thought in his heart?
Maka bertanyalah raja Ahasyweros kepada Ester, sang ratu: "Siapakah orang itu dan di manakah dia yang hatinya mengandung niat akan berbuat demikian?"
6 And Esther said, Our hater and attacker is this evil Haman. Then Haman was full of fear before the king and the queen.
Lalu jawab Ester: "Penganiaya dan musuh itu, ialah Haman, orang jahat ini!" Maka Hamanpun sangatlah ketakutan di hadapan raja dan ratu.
7 And the king in his wrath got up from the feast and went into the garden: and Haman got to his feet to make a prayer for his life to Esther the queen: for he saw that the king's purpose was evil against him.
Lalu bangkitlah raja dengan panas hatinya dari pada minum anggur dan keluar ke taman istana; akan tetapi Haman masih tinggal untuk memohon nyawanya kepada Ester, sang ratu, karena ia melihat, bahwa telah putus niat raja untuk mendatangkan celaka kepadanya.
8 Then the king came back from the garden into the room where they had been drinking; and Haman was stretched out on the seat where Esther was. Then the king said, Is he taking the queen by force before my eyes in my house? And while the words were on the king's lips, they put a cloth over Haman's face.
Ketika raja kembali dari taman istana ke dalam ruangan minum anggur, maka Haman berlutut pada katil tempat Ester berbaring. Maka titah raja: "Masih jugakah ia hendak menggagahi sang ratu di dalam istanaku sendiri?" Tatkala titah raja itu keluar dari mulutnya, maka diselubungi oranglah muka Haman.
9 Then Harbonah, one of the unsexed servants waiting before the king, said, See, the pillar fifty cubits high, which Haman made for Mordecai, who said a good word for the king, is still in its place in Haman's house. Then the king said, Put him to death by hanging him on it.
Sembah Harbona, salah seorang sida-sida yang di hadapan raja: "Lagipula tiang yang dibuat Haman untuk Mordekhai, orang yang menyelamatkan raja dengan pemberitahuannya itu, telah berdiri di dekat rumah Haman, lima puluh hasta tingginya." Lalu titah raja: "Sulakan dia pada tiang itu."
10 So Haman was put to death by hanging him on the pillar he had made for Mordecai. Then the king's wrath became less.
Kemudian Haman disulakan pada tiang yang didirikannya untuk Mordekhai. Maka surutlah panas hati raja.
