Esther 7
1 So the king and Haman came to take wine with Esther the queen.
Vindo pois o rei com Haman, para beber com a rainha Esther,
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.
Disse tambem o rei a Esther no segundo dia, no banquete do vinho: Qual é a tua petição, rainha Esther? e se te dará: e qual é o teu requerimento? até metade do reino, se fará.
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:
Então respondeu a rainha Esther, e disse: Se, ó rei, achei graça aos teus olhos, e se bem parecer ao rei, dê-se-me a minha vida como minha petição, e o meu povo como meu requerimento.
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.
Porque estamos vendidos, eu e o meu povo, para nos destruirem, matarem, e lançarem a perder: se ainda por servos e por servas nos vendessem, calar-me-hia; ainda que o oppressor não recompensaria a perda do rei.
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?
Então fallou o rei Assuero, e disse á rainha Esther: Quem é esse? e onde está esse, cujo coração o instigou a assim fazer
6 And Esther said, Our hater and attacker is this evil Haman. Then Haman was full of fear before the king and the queen.
E disse Esther: O homem, o oppressor, e o inimigo, é este mau Haman. Então Haman se perturbou perante o rei e a rainha.
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.
E o rei no seu furor se levantou do banquete do vinho para o jardim do palacio; e Haman se poz em pé, para rogar á rainha Esther pela sua vida; porque viu que já o mal lhe era determinado pelo rei.
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.
Tornando pois o rei do jardim do palacio á casa do banquete do vinho, Haman tinha caido prostrado sobre o leito em que estava Esther. Então disse o rei: Porventura quereria elle tambem forçar a rainha perante mim n'esta casa? Saindo esta palavra da bocca do rei, cobriram a Haman o rosto.
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.
Então disse Harbona, um dos eunuchos que serviam diante do rei: Eis aqui tambem a forca de cincoenta covados de altura que Haman fizera para Mardoqueo, que fallara para bem do rei, está junto á casa de Haman. Então disse o rei: Enforcae-o n'ella.
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.
Enforcaram pois a Haman na forca, que elle tinha preparado para Mardoqueo. Então o furor do rei se aplacou.
