Esther 5
1 And on the third day Ester put on her royal apparel, and stood in the court of the Kings palace within, ouer against the Kings house: and the King sate vpon his royal throne in the Kings palace ouer against the gate of the house.
第三日にエステル后の服を着王の家の内庭にいり王の家にむかひて立つ王は王宮の玉座に坐して王宮の戸口にむかひをりしが
2 And when the King saw Ester the Queene standing in the court, shee founde fauour in his sight: and the King held out the golden scepter that was in his hand: so Ester drewe neere, and touched the toppe of the scepter.
王后エステルが庭にたちをるを見てこれに恩をくはへ其手にある金圭をエステルの方に伸しければエステルすすみよりてその圭の頭にさはれり
3 Then saide the King vnto her, What wilt thou, Queene Ester? and what is thy request? it shall be euen giuen thee to the halfe of ye kingdome.
王かれに言けるは后エステルなんぢ何をもとむるやなんぢの願意は何なるや國の半分にいたるとも汝にあたふべし
4 Then saide Ester, If it please the King, let the King and Haman come this day vnto the banket, that I haue prepared for him.
エステルいひけるは王もし善としたまはば願くは今日わが王のために設けたる酒宴に王とハマンと臨みたまへ
5 And the King sayd, Cause Haman to make haste that he may doe as Ester hath sayde. So the King and Haman came to the banket that Ester had prepared.
ここに於て王ハマンを急がしめてエステルの言るごとくならしめよと命じ王とハマンやがてエステルが設けたる酒宴に臨めり
6 And the King sayd vnto Ester at the banket of wine, What is thy petition, that it may be giuen thee? and what is thy request? it shall euen be performed vnto the halfe of the kingdome.
酒宴の時王またエステルに言けるは汝の所求は何なるやかならずゆるさるべし なんぢの願意は何なるや國の半分にいたるとも成就らるべし
7 Then answered Ester, and sayd, My petition and my request is,
エステル言けるは我が所求わが願意は是なり
8 If I haue found fauour in the sight of the King, and if it please the King to giue me my petition, and to perfourme my request, let the King and Haman come to the banket that I shall prepare for them, and I will doe to morowe according to the Kings saying.
われもし王の目の前に恩を得 王もしわが所求をゆるしわが願意を成就しむることを善としたまはば願くは王とハマンまたわが設けんとする酒宴に臨みたまへ われ明日王の宣まへる言にしたがはん
9 Then went Haman forth the same day ioyfull and with a glad heart. But when Haman sawe Mordecai in the Kings gate, that he stoode not vp, nor moued for him, then was Haman full of indignation at Mordecai.
かくてハマンはその日よろこび心たのしみて出きたりけるがハマン、モルデカイが王の門に居て己にむかひて起もあがらず身動もせざるを見しかば 痛くモルデカイを怒れり
10 Neuerthelesse Haman refrayned himselfe: and when he came home, he sent, and called for his friends, and Zeresh his wife.
されどもハマン耐忍びて家にかへりその朋友等および妻ゼレシをまねき來らしめ
11 And Haman tolde them of the glory of his riches, and the multitude of his children, and all the things wherein the King had promoted him, and how that he had set him aboue the princes and seruants of the King.
而してハマンその富の榮耀とその子の衆多ことと凡て王の己を貴とびし事また己をたかくして王の牧伯および臣僕の上にあらしむることを之に語れり
12 Haman sayde moreouer, Yea, Ester the Queene did let no man come in with the King to the banket that she had prepared, saue me: and to morowe am I bidden vnto her also with the King.
しかしてハマンまた言けらく后エステル酒宴を設けたりしが我のほかは何人をも王とともに之に臨ましめず明日もまた我は王とともに后に招かれをるなり
13 But al this doth nothing auaile me, as long as I see Mordecai ye Iewe sitting at ye Kings gate.
然れどユダヤ人モルデカイが王の門に坐しをるを見る間は是らの事も快樂からず
14 Then sayde Zeresh his wife and all his friends vnto him, Let them make a tree of fiftie cubites hie, and to morowe speake thou vnto the King, that Mordecai may be hanged thereon: then shalt thou goe ioyfully with the King vnto the banket. And the thing pleased Haman, and he caused to make the tree.
時にその妻ゼレシとその一切の朋友かれに言けるは請ふ高五十キユビトの木を立しめ明日の朝モルデカイをその上に懸んことを王に奏せ而して王とともに樂しみてその酒宴におもむけとハマンこの事を善としてその木を立しめたり
