Esther 5
1 Now it happened on the third day that Esther put on her royal clothing, and stood in the inner court of the king's house, next to the king's house. The king sat on his royal throne in the royal house, next to the entrance of the house.
Tad Estere apģērbās trešā dienā kā ķēniņiene un gāja ķēniņa nama iekšējā pagalmā, ķēniņa namam pretī; un ķēniņš sēdēja uz sava goda krēsla ķēniņa namā, tām nama durvīm pretī.
2 When the king saw Esther the queen standing in the court, she obtained favor in his sight; and the king held out to Esther the golden scepter that was in his hand. So Esther came near, and touched the top of the scepter.
Un kad ķēniņš redzēja ķēniņieni Esteri pagalmā stāvam, tad tā atrada žēlastību priekš viņa acīm, tā ka ķēniņš to zelta scepteri, kas bija viņa rokā, Esterei piesniedza, un Estere piegāja un aizskāra sceptera galu.
3 Then the king asked her, "What would you like, queen Esther? What is your request? It shall be given you even to the half of the kingdom."
Tad ķēniņš uz viņu sacīja: kas tev kait, ķēniņiene Estere, jeb ko tu prasi? Un pat valsts viena puse tev taps dota.
4 Esther said, "If it seems good to the king, let the king and Haman come today to the banquet that I have prepared for him."
Tad Estere sacīja: ja ķēniņam patīk, tad lai ķēniņš un Amans šodien nāk uz tām dzīrēm, ko es viņam esmu sataisījusi.
5 Then the king said, "Bring Haman quickly, so that it may be done as Esther has said." So the king and Haman came to the banquet that Esther had prepared.
Un ķēniņš sacīja: lai Amans steidzās un dara pēc Esteres vārda. Kad nu ķēniņš un Amans nāca uz tām dzīrēm, ko Estere bija sataisījusi,
6 The king said to Esther at the banquet of wine, "What is your petition? It shall be granted you. What is your request? Even to the half of the kingdom it shall be performed."
Tad ķēniņš sacīja uz Esteri vīnu dzerot: ko tu lūdzi, tas tev taps dots, un ko tu prasi, tam būs notikt, arī līdz pusvalstij.
7 Then Esther answered and said, "My petition and my request is this.
Tad Estere atbildēja un sacīja: mana lūgšana un mana prasīšana ir šī.
8 If I have found favor in the sight of the king, and if it please the king to grant my petition and to perform my request, let the king and Haman come to the banquet that I will prepare for them, and I will do tomorrow as the king has said."
Ja esmu atradusi žēlastību priekš ķēniņa un ja ķēniņam ir pa prātam, manu lūgšanu man dot un darīt, ko es prasīšu, tad lai ķēniņš un Amans nāk uz tām dzīrēm, ko es tiem sataisīšu, tad es rītu darīšu pēc ķēniņa vārda.
9 Then Haman went out that day joyful and glad of heart, but when Haman saw Mordecai in the King's Gate, that he did not stand up nor move for him, he was filled with wrath against Mordecai.
Tad Amans tai dienā izgāja līksms un ar labu prātu. Bet kad Amans Mardakaju redzēja ķēniņa vārtos, ka tas necēlās un priekš viņa nelocījās, tad Amans palika dusmu pilns pret Mardakaju, tomēr viņš savaldījās.
10 Nevertheless Haman restrained himself, and went home. There, he sent and called for his friends and Zeresh his wife.
Un tas nāca savā namā, un sūtīja un lika nākt saviem draugiem līdz ar Zeresu, savu sievu.
11 Haman recounted to them the glory of his riches, the multitude of his children, all the things in which the king had promoted him, and how he had advanced him above the officials and servants of the king.
Un Amans tiem izteica savas bagātības godu un savu dēlu pulku, un visu, kā ķēniņš viņu bija paaugstinājis, un kā tas viņu bija pacēlis pār tiem lielkungiem un ķēniņa kalpiem.
12 Haman also said, "Yes, Esther the queen let no man come in with the king to the banquet that she had prepared but myself; and tomorrow I am also invited by her together with the king.
Un Amans sacīja: un ķēniņiene Estere nevienam nav likusi nākt līdz ar ķēniņu uz tām dzīrēm, ko tā ir sataisījusi, kā man vien, un arī uz rītu no viņas esmu aicināts līdz ar ķēniņu.
13 Yet all this avails me nothing, so long as I see Mordecai the Jew sitting at the King's Gate."
Bet viss tas man nav gana, kamēr es to Jūdu Mardakaju redzu sēžam ķēniņa vārtos.
14 Then Zeresh his wife and all his friends said to him, "Let a gallows be made seventy-three feet eight inches high, and in the morning speak to the king about hanging Mordecai on it. Then go in merrily with the king to the banquet." This pleased Haman, so he had the gallows made.
Tad viņa sieva Zeresa un visi viņa draugi uz to sacīja: lai uzceļ koku piecdesmit olektis augstumā, un saki rītu ķēniņam, ka Mardakaju pie tā būs pakārt, un tad ej līksms ar ķēniņu uz dzīrēm. Un šis padoms patika Amanam, un viņš to koku lika uzcelt,
