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.
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 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.
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 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."
I reèe joj car: što ti je, carice Jestiro? i šta želiš? ako je i do polovine carstva, daæe ti se.
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."
A Jestira reèe: ako je ugodno caru, neka doðe car s Amanom danas na objed koji sam mu zgotovila.
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.
A car reèe: zovite brže Amana da uèini što reèe Jestira. I doðe car s Amanom na objed koji zgotovi Jestira.
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."
Potom car napiv se vina reèe Jestiri: šta želiš? daæe ti se; i šta moliš? ako je i do polovine carstva, biæe.
7 Then Esther answered and said, "My petition and my request is this.
A Jestira odgovarajuæi reèe: želim i molim:
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."
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 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.
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 Nevertheless Haman restrained himself, and went home. There, he sent and called for his friends and Zeresh his wife.
Ali se uzdrža Aman dokle doðe kuæi svojoj; potom posla i sazva prijatelje svoje i Seresu ženu svoju.
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.
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 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.
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 Yet all this avails me nothing, so long as I see Mordecai the Jew sitting at the King's Gate."
Ali sve to nije mi ni na što dokle god gledam onoga Mardoheja Judejca gdje sjedi na vratima carevijem.
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.
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.
