Esther 7
1 So the king and Aman went in to drink with the queen.
王またハマンとともに后エステルと酒宴せんとて來れり
2 And the king said to Esther at the banquet on the second day, What is it, queen Esther? and what [is] your request, and what [is] your petition? and it shall be [done] for you, to the half of my kingdom.
この第二の酒宴の日に王またエステルに言けるは后エステルよなんぢのもとめは何なるや かならず許さるべし 汝のねがひは何なるや國の半分にいたるとも成就らるべし
3 And she answered and said, If I have found favor in the sight of the king, let [my] life be granted to my petition, and my people to my request.
后エステルこたへて言けるは王よ我もし王の御目の前に恩を得王もし善と見たまはばわがもとめにしたがりこわが生命をわれに賜へ またわが願にしたがひてわが民を我に賜へ
4 For both I and my people are sold for destruction, and pillage, and slavery; [both] we and our children for bondmen and bondwomen: and I consented not to it, for the [is] not worthy of the king's palace.
我とわが民は賣れて滅ぼされ殺され絶されんとす 我らもし奴婢に賣れたるならんには我默してはべらん 敵人は王の損害を償なふ事能はざるなり
5 And the king said, Who [is] this that has dared to do this thing?
アハシユエロス王后エステルにこたへて言けるは之をなさんと心にたくめる者は誰また何處にをるや
6 And Esther said, the adversary [is] Aman, this wicked man. Then Aman was troubled before the king and the queen.
エステルいひけるはその敵その仇人は即ちこの惡きハマンなりと 是によりてハマンは王と后の前にありて懼れたり
7 And the king rose up from the banquet to go into the garden: and Aman began to entreat the queen; for he saw that he was in an evil case.
王怒り酒宴の席をたちて宮殿の園に往きければハマンたちあがりて后エステルに生命を乞り 其はかれ王のおのれに禍災をなさんと決めしを見たればなり
8 And the king returned from the garden; and Aman had fallen upon the bed, intreating the queen. And the king said, Will you even force [my] wife in my house? And when Aman heard it, he changed countenance.
王宮殿の園より歸りて酒宴の場にいたりしにエステルのをる牀榻の上にハマン俯伏ゐたれば王いひけるは彼はまた家の内にてわが前に后を辱しめんとするかと此ことば王の口より出るや人々ハマンの面をおほへり
9 And Bugathan, one of the chamberlains, said to the king, Behold, Aman has also prepared a gallows for Mardochaeus, who spoke concerning the king, and a gallows of fifty cubits high has been set up in the premises of Aman. And the king said, Let him be hanged thereon.
時に王の前にある一人の侍從ハルボナいひけるは王の爲に善き事を言たりしかのモルデカイを懸んとてハマンが作りたる五十キユビトの木ハマンの家に立をるなりと王いひけるは彼をその上に懸よ
10 So Aman was hanged on the gallows that had been prepared for Mardochaeus: and then the king's wrath was appeased.
人々ハマンを其モルデカイをかけんとて設けし木の上に懸たり 王の震怒つひに解く
