Esther 5
1 And it came to pass, on the third day, that Esther put on her royal apparel, and stood in the inner court of the house of the king, over against the house of the king, —and, the king, was sitting upon his royal seat, in the royal house, over against the opening 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 And it came to pass, when the king saw Esther the queen standing in the court, that she obtained favour in his eyes, —and the king held out to Esther, the golden sceptre which was in his hand, so Esther drew near, and touched the top of the sceptre.
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 said the king unto her, What aileth thee, Queen Esther? and what is thy request? Unto the half of the kingdom, shall it be given thee.
Tad ķēniņš uz viņu sacīja: kas tev kait, ķēniņiene Estere, jeb ko tu prasi? Un pat valsts viena puse tev taps dota.
4 Then said Esther, If, unto the king, it seem good, let the king with Haman come in this day, unto the banquet which 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 And the king said, Hasten ye Haman, to perform the word of Esther. So the king with Haman came in, unto the banquet which 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 Then said the king unto Esther, during the banquet of wine, What is thy petition, that it may be granted thee?—and what is thy request—unto the half of the kingdom—that it may 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 answered Esther, and said, —As touching my petition and my request,
Tad Estere atbildēja un sacīja: mana lūgšana un mana prasīšana ir šī.
8 If I have found favour in the eyes of the king, and if, unto the king, it seem good, to grant my petition, and to perform my request, let the king with Haman come in unto the banquet which I will prepare for them, and, to-morrow, I will do according to the word of the king.
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 went Haman forth on that day, joyful and of a merry heart, —but, when Haman saw Mordecai in the gate of the king, that he rose not up nor moved because of him, then was Haman 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 came into his own house, —and sent and brought in his friends, and Zeresh his wife;
Un tas nāca savā namā, un sūtīja un lika nākt saviem draugiem līdz ar Zeresu, savu sievu.
11 and Haman recounted unto them the glory of his riches, and the multitude of his children, —and all the things wherein the king had promoted him to power, and how he had advanced him, above the rulers and the 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 And Haman said, Moreover Esther the queen did bring in no one with the king into the banquet which she had prepared, saving myself, —yea moreover, even for to-morrow, I, am invited unto her, 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, sufficeth me not, —so long as, I, see Mordecai the Jew, sitting in the gate of the king.
Bet viss tas man nav gana, kamēr es to Jūdu Mardakaju redzu sēžam ķēniņa vārtos.
14 Then said Zeresh his wife and all his friends unto him, Let them make ready a gallows, of the height of fifty cubits, and, in the morning, speak thou unto the king, that they hang Mordecai thereon, then go with the king into the banquet joyfully. And the thing seemed good before Haman, and he made ready the gallows.
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,
