< Esther 7 >

1 So the king and Haman came to banquet with Esther the queen.
Вниде же царь и Аман пировати со царицею.
2 The king said again to Esther on the second day at the banquet of wine, "What is your petition, queen Esther? It shall be granted you. What is your request? Even to the half of the kingdom it shall be performed."
И рече царь Есфири во вторый день на пиру: что есть, Есфире царице? И что прошение твое? И что моление твое? И будет тебе до полуцарствия моего.
3 Then Esther the queen answered, "If I have found favor in your sight, O king, and if it please the king, let my life be given me at my petition, and my people at my request.
И отвещавши (Есфирь царица) рече: аще обретох благодать пред очима твоима, царю, да дастся душа моя прошению моему и людие мои молению моему:
4 For we are sold, I and my people, to be destroyed, to be slain, and to perish. But if we had been sold for bondservants and bondmaids, I would have held my peace, although the adversary could not have compensated for the king's loss."
продани бо есмы, аз же и людие мои, на погибель и расхищение и в работу, мы же и чада наша в рабы и рабыни, и небрегох: несть бо достоин клеветник двора царева.
5 Then King Achashyerosh said to Esther the queen, "Who is he, and where is he who dared presume in his heart to do so?"
И рече царь: кто есть сей, иже дерзну сотворити вещь сию?
6 Esther said, "An adversary and an enemy, even this wicked Haman." Then Haman was afraid before the king and the queen.
И рече Есфирь: человек враг, Аман лукавый сей. Аман же смятеся от царя и царицы.
7 The king arose in his wrath from the banquet of wine and went into the palace garden. Haman stood up to make request for his life to Esther the queen; for he saw that there was evil determined against him by the king.
Царь же воста со гневом от пира (и иде) в вертоград: Аман же моляше царицу, видяше бо себе в бедах суща.
8 Then the king returned out of the palace garden into the place of the banquet of wine; and Haman had fallen on the couch where Esther was. Then the king said, "Will he even assault the queen in front of me in the house?" As the word went out of the king's mouth, they covered Haman's face.
Возвратися же царь из вертограда, и Аман припаде к ложу, на немже бе Есфирь, моля царицу. И рече царь: егда и жену насилует в дому моем? Аман же слышав изменися лицем.
9 Then Harbonah, one of the eunuchs who were with the king said, "Look, the gallows seventy-three feet eight inches high, which Haman has made for Mordecai, who spoke good for the king, is standing at Haman's house." The king said, "Hang him on it."
Рече же Вугафан един от скопцев, сей же ведяше о том древе, видев е в дому Аманове, егда призываше его на обед царский, и о сем испытав единаго от отрок, уразумев замышляемое, и рече ко царю: се, и древо уготова Аман Мардохею глаголавшему благая о цари, и стоит в дому Аманове возвышено на лакот пятьдесят. И рече царь: да повесится (Аман) на нем.
10 So they hanged Haman on the gallows that he had prepared for Mordecai. Then was the king's wrath pacified.
И повешен бысть Аман на древе, еже уготова Мардохею. И тогда царь утолися от ярости.
