Esther 7
1 So the king and Aman went in, to drink with the queen.
И тако дође цар и Аман на обед царици Јестири.
2 And the king said to her again the second day, after he was warm with wine: What is thy petition, Esther, that it may be granted thee? and what wilt thou have done: although thou ask the half of my kingdom, thou shalt have it.
И рече цар Јестири опет други дан напивши се вина: Шта желиш, царице Јестиро? Даће ти се. И шта молиш? Ако је и до половине царства, биће.
3 Then she answered: If I have found Favour in thy sight, O king, and if it please thee, give me my life for which I ask, and my people for which I request.
Тада одговори царица Јестира и рече: Ако сам нашла милост пред тобом, царе, и ако је цару угодно, нека ми се поклони живот мој на моју жељу и народ мој на моју молбу.
4 For we are given up, I and my people, to be destroyed, to be slain, and to perish. And would God we were sold for bondmen and bondwomen: the evil might be borne with, and I would have mourned in silence: but now we have an enemy, whose cruelty redoundeth upon the king.
Јер смо продани ја и мој народ да нас потру, побију и истребе. Да смо продани да будемо слуге и слушкиње, ћутала бих, премда непријатељ не би могао накнадити штете цару.
5 And king Assuerus answered and said: Who is this, and of what power, that he should do these things?
А цар Асвир проговори и рече царици Јестири: Ко је тај? И где је тај који се усудио тако чинити?
6 And Esther said: It is this Aman that is our adversary and most wicked enemy. Aman hearing this was forthwith astonished, not being able to bear the countenance of the king and of the queen.
А Јестира рече: Противник и непријатељ овај је зликовац Аман. А Аман се уплаши од цара и од царице.
7 But the king being angry rose up, and went from the place of the banquet into the garden set with trees. Aman also rose up to entreat Esther the queen for his life, for he understood that evil was prepared for him by the king.
Тада цар гневан уста од вина и отиде у врт код двора, а Аман оста да моли за живот свој царицу Јестиру, јер виде да је цар наумио зло по њ.
8 And when the king came back out of the garden set with trees, and entered into the place of the banquet, he found Aman was fallen upon the bed on which Esther lay, and he said: He will force the queen also in my presence, in my own house. The word was not yet gone out of the king’s mouth, and immediately they covered his face.
Потом се цар врати из врта дворског у кућу где беше пио вино; а Аман беше пао на одар где сеђаше Јестира. И цар рече: Еда ли ће и царицу осрамотити код мене у кући? Чим та реч изиђе из уста царевих, покрише лице Аману.
9 And Harbona, one of the eunuchs that stood waiting on the king, said: Behold the gibbet which he hath prepared for Mardochai, who spoke for the king, standeth in Aman’s house, being fifty cubits high. And the king said to him: Hang him upon it.
И Арвона, један од дворана царевих, рече: Ево и вешала што је начинио Аман за Мардохеја који је говорио добро по цара стоје код куће Аманове, висока педесет лаката. И рече цар: Обесите га на њих.
10 So Aman was hanged on the gibbet, which he had prepared for Mardochai: and the king’s wrath ceased.
И тако обесише Амана на вешала која беше приправио Мардохеју. И гнев царев утиша се.
