Esther 7
1 So the king and Haman came in, to banquet with Esther the queen.
Vindo pois o rei com Haman, para beber com a rainha Esther,
2 Then said the king unto Esther, on the second day also, during the banquet of wine, What is thy petition, Queen Esther, that it may be granted thee? and what is thy request—unto the half of the kingdom—that it may be performed?
Disse tambem o rei a Esther no segundo dia, no banquete do vinho: Qual é a tua petição, rainha Esther? e se te dará: e qual é o teu requerimento? até metade do reino, se fará.
3 Then answered Esther the queen, and said, If I have found favour in thine eyes, O king, and if, unto the king, it seem good, let my life be granted me, as my petition, and my people, as my request;
Então respondeu a rainha Esther, e disse: Se, ó rei, achei graça aos teus olhos, e se bem parecer ao rei, dê-se-me a minha vida como minha petição, e o meu povo como meu requerimento.
4 For we are sold, I and my people, to be destroyed, to be slain and to be caused to perish. If indeed, for bondmen and for bondwomen, we had been sold, I had held my peace, although the adversary could not have made good the damage to the king.
Porque estamos vendidos, eu e o meu povo, para nos destruirem, matarem, e lançarem a perder: se ainda por servos e por servas nos vendessem, calar-me-hia; ainda que o oppressor não recompensaria a perda do rei.
5 Then spake King Ahasuerus, and said unto Esther the queen, —Who is he now, and where is he, whose heart is set to act thus?
Então fallou o rei Assuero, e disse á rainha Esther: Quem é esse? e onde está esse, cujo coração o instigou a assim fazer
6 And Esther said, A man who is an adversary and enemy, this wicked Haman. And, Haman, was terrified, before the king and the queen.
E disse Esther: O homem, o oppressor, e o inimigo, é este mau Haman. Então Haman se perturbou perante o rei e a rainha.
7 Now, the king, arising in his wrath from the banquet of wine, and going into the palace garden, Haman, stood to make request for his life from Esther the queen, for he saw that ruin, was determined against him, by the king.
E o rei no seu furor se levantou do banquete do vinho para o jardim do palacio; e Haman se poz em pé, para rogar á rainha Esther pela sua vida; porque viu que já o mal lhe era determinado pelo rei.
8 When, the king, returned out of the palace garden into the place of the banquet of wine, Haman, was lying prostrate upon the couch whereon Esther was. Then said the king, Will he, even dare to force the queen, while I am in the house? No sooner had the word gone forth out of the mouth of the king, than, the face of Haman, they had covered.
Tornando pois o rei do jardim do palacio á casa do banquete do vinho, Haman tinha caido prostrado sobre o leito em que estava Esther. Então disse o rei: Porventura quereria elle tambem forçar a rainha perante mim n'esta casa? Saindo esta palavra da bocca do rei, cobriram a Haman o rosto.
9 Then said Harbonah—one of the eunuchs before the king—Yea lo! the gallows that Haman made ready for Mordecai, who had spoken well for the king, is standing in Haman’s house, of a height of fifty cubits. Then said the king, Hang him thereon.
Então disse Harbona, um dos eunuchos que serviam diante do rei: Eis aqui tambem a forca de cincoenta covados de altura que Haman fizera para Mardoqueo, que fallara para bem do rei, está junto á casa de Haman. Então disse o rei: Enforcae-o n'ella.
10 So they hanged Haman on the gallows which he had prepared for Mordecai, —and, the wrath of the king, was appeased.
Enforcaram pois a Haman na forca, que elle tinha preparado para Mardoqueo. Então o furor do rei se aplacou.
