Esther 7
1 And the king and Haman came to drink with Esther the queen.
Kad nu ķēniņš un Amans nāca pie ķēniņienes Esteres uz dzīrēm,
2 And the king said again to Esther on the second day, at the banquet of wine, What is thy petition, queen Esther? and it shall be granted thee; and what is thy request? even to the half of the kingdom it shall be done.
Tad ķēniņš sacīja uz Esteri atkal otrā dienā vīnu dzerot: ko tu lūdzi, ķēniņiene Estere, tas tev taps dots, un ko tu prasi, arī līdz pusvalstij, tam būs notikt.
3 And Esther the queen answered and said, If I have found grace in thy sight, O king, and if it please the king, let my life be given me at my petition, and my people at my request;
Tad ķēniņiene Estere atbildēja: ja es, ķēniņ, žēlastību esmu atradusi tavās acīs, un ja ķēniņam patīk, tad dod man manu dzīvību uz manu lūgšanu un manus ļaudis uz manu prasīšanu.
4 for we are sold, I and my people, to be destroyed, to be slain, and to perish. But if we had been sold for bondmen and bondwomen, I had held my tongue, although the adversary could not compensate the king's damage.
Jo mēs esam pārdoti, es un mani ļaudis, ka topam izdeldēti, nokauti un nomaitāti. Ja mēs būtu pārdoti par kalpiem un kalponēm, tad es būtu klusu cietusi; jo nelaime neatsver ķēniņa traucējumu.
5 And king Ahasuerus spoke and said to Esther the queen, Who is he, and where is he that has filled his heart to do so?
Tad ķēniņš Ahasverus atbildēja un sacīja uz ķēniņieni Esteri: kas tas tāds un kur ir tas, kas to savā prātā ir apņēmies, tā darīt?
6 And Esther said, The adversary and enemy is this wicked Haman. Then Haman was terrified before the king and the queen.
Tad Estere atbildēja: tas pretinieks un ienaidnieks ir šis niknais Amans. Tad Amans iztrūcinājās ķēniņa un ķēniņienes priekšā.
7 And the king in his wrath rose up from the banquet of wine, [and went] into the palace garden; but Haman stayed to make request for his life to Esther the queen, for he saw that there was evil determined against him by the king.
Un ķēniņš cēlās savā bardzībā no dzīrēm un gāja uz tā nama dārzu. Un Amans stāvēja un meklēja savu dzīvību no ķēniņienes Esteres, jo viņš redzēja, ka ķēniņš par viņu bija nodomājis nelaimi.
8 And the king returned out of the palace garden into the house of the banquet of wine, and Haman was fallen upon the couch on which Esther was. And the king said, Will he even force the queen before me in the house? The word went forth out of the king's mouth, and they covered Haman's face.
Un ķēniņš griezās atpakaļ no nama dārza uz dzīru namu, un Amans bija nokritis pie tā sēdekļa, uz kā Estere sēdēja. Tad ķēniņš sacīja: vai viņš arī pie ķēniņienes varas darbu grib darīt pie manis namā? Kad šis vārds no ķēniņa mutes izgāja, tad Amanam aizsedza galvu.
9 And Harbonah, one of the chamberlains, said before the king, Behold, also, the gallows fifty cubits high, that Haman made for Mordecai, who spoke good for the king, stands in the house of Haman. And the king said, Hang him on it!
Un Arbonus, viens no ķēniņa kambarjunkuriem, sacīja: redzi, Amana namā stāv koks piecdesmit olektis augstumā, ko Amans cēlis priekš Mardakaju, kas runājis labu priekš ķēniņa. Tad ķēniņš sacīja: pakariet viņu pie tā.
10 So they hanged Haman on the gallows that he had prepared for Mordecai. And the king's wrath was appeased.
Tad tie pakāra Amanu pie tā koka, ko tas Mardakajam bija licis uzcelt. Tad ķēniņa bardzība nostājās.
