Esther 5
1 Three days later Esther put on her royal robes and went and stood in the inner court of the king's palace, opposite the king's hall. The king was sitting on his royal throne in the king's hall, facing the entrance.
A treæi dan obuèe se Jestira u carsko odijelo, i stade u trijemu unutrašnjega dvora carskoga prema stanu carevu; a car sjeðaše na carskom prijestolu svom u dvoru carskom prema vratima od dvora.
2 When the king saw Queen Esther standing in the inner court she won his approval so he acted favorably by holding out his scepter to her. So Esther went over and touched the end of the scepter.
I kad car ugleda caricu Jestiru gdje stoji u trijemu, ona naðe milost pred njim, te car pruži prema Jestiri zlatnu palicu koja mu bješe u ruci, i Jestira pristupi i dotaèe se kraja od palice.
3 The king asked her, “What is it, Queen Esther? What do you want? I'll give it to you, as much as half my empire!”
I reèe joj car: što ti je, carice Jestiro? i šta želiš? ako je i do polovine carstva, daæe ti se.
4 Esther replied, “If it please Your Majesty, may the king and Haman come today to a dinner I have prepared for him.”
A Jestira reèe: ako je ugodno caru, neka doðe car s Amanom danas na objed koji sam mu zgotovila.
5 “Bring Haman here at once so we can do what Esther has requested,” the king ordered. The king and Haman went to the dinner that Esther had prepared.
A car reèe: zovite brže Amana da uèini što reèe Jestira. I doðe car s Amanom na objed koji zgotovi Jestira.
6 As they drank their wine, the king asked Esther, “What are you really asking for? It will be given to you. What do you want? You shall have it, as much as half my empire!”
Potom car napiv se vina reèe Jestiri: šta želiš? daæe ti se; i šta moliš? ako je i do polovine carstva, biæe.
7 Esther answered, “This is what I'm asking for, and this is what I want.
A Jestira odgovarajuæi reèe: želim i molim:
8 If the king looks on me favorably, and if it please Your Majesty to grant my request and do as I ask, may the king and Haman come to a dinner I will prepare for them. Tomorrow I will answer Your Majesty's question.”
Ako sam našla milost pred carem, i ako je ugodno caru da mi da što želim i uèini što molim, neka opet doðe car s Amanom na objed koji æu im zgotoviti, i sjutra æu uèiniti po rijeèi carevoj.
9 When Haman left that day he was very happy and pleased with himself. But when he saw Mordecai at the palace gate and that he didn't stand up or tremble with fear before him, Haman was furious with Mordecai.
I tako otide Aman onaj dan veseo i dobre volje. Ali kad vidje Aman Mardoheja na vratima carevijem a on ne usta niti se maèe pred njim, napuni se Aman gnjeva na Mardoheja.
10 However, Haman controlled himself and he went home. There he invited his friends over. Once they and his wife Zeresh had gathered,
Ali se uzdrža Aman dokle doðe kuæi svojoj; potom posla i sazva prijatelje svoje i Seresu ženu svoju.
11 Haman went into great detail about how much money and possessions he had, and how many children, and how the king had made him so important by promoting him above all the other nobles and officials.
I pripovjedi im Aman o slavi bogatstva svojega i o mnoštvu sinova svojih i o svemu èim ga je podigao car i kako ga je uzvisio svrh knezova i sluga carskih.
12 “Added to all that,” Haman went on, “I was the only other person Queen Esther invited to come to a dinner she had prepared for the king. I'm also invited by her to eat together with the king tomorrow.”
I doda Aman: pa i carica Jestira nikoga osim mene ne pozva s carem na objed, koji bješe zgotovila, pa i sjutra sam pozvan k njoj s carem.
13 Then he said, “But all of this is worthless to me while I keep on seeing Mordecai the Jew sitting at the palace gate.”
Ali sve to nije mi ni na što dokle god gledam onoga Mardoheja Judejca gdje sjedi na vratima carevijem.
14 His wife Zeresh and his friends told him, “Arrange for a pole to be set up, fifty cubits high. Then, in the morning, go and ask the king to have Mordecai impaled on it. Afterwards, you'll be happy as you go with the king to the dinner.” Haman thought this was good advice, so he had the pole set up.
Tada mu reèe Seresa žena njegova i svi prijatelji njegovi: neka naèine vješala visoka pedeset lakata, i ujutru reci caru da se na njima objesi Mardohej, pa idi s carem veseo na objed. I to bi po volji Amanu i pripravi vješala.
