Esther 7
1 So the king and Haman went to feast with Queen Esther.
Kad nu ķēniņš un Amans nāca pie ķēniņienes Esteres uz dzīrēm,
2 On this second day, while they were serving wine, the king said to Esther, “What is your petition, Queen Esther? It will be granted to you. What is your request? Up to half of the kingdom, and it will be granted.”
Tad ķēniņš sacīja uz Esteri atkal otrā dienā vīnu dzerot: ko tu lūdzi, ķēniņiene Estere, tas tev taps dots, un ko tu prasi, arī līdz pusvalstij, tam būs notikt.
3 Then Queen Esther replied, “If I have found favor in your eyes, king, and if it pleases you, let my life be given to me—this is my petition, and I request this also for my people.
Tad ķēniņiene Estere atbildēja: ja es, ķēniņ, žēlastību esmu atradusi tavās acīs, un ja ķēniņam patīk, tad dod man manu dzīvību uz manu lūgšanu un manus ļaudis uz manu prasīšanu.
4 For we have been sold, I and my people, to be destroyed, killed, and annihilated. If we had only been sold into slavery, as male and female slaves, I would have kept quiet, for no such distress as this would justify disturbing the king.”
Jo mēs esam pārdoti, es un mani ļaudis, ka topam izdeldēti, nokauti un nomaitāti. Ja mēs būtu pārdoti par kalpiem un kalponēm, tad es būtu klusu cietusi; jo nelaime neatsver ķēniņa traucējumu.
5 Then King Ahasuerus said to Esther the queen, “Who is he? Where is this person to be found who has filled his heart to do such a thing?”
Tad ķēniņš Ahasverus atbildēja un sacīja uz ķēniņieni Esteri: kas tas tāds un kur ir tas, kas to savā prātā ir apņēmies, tā darīt?
6 Esther said, “The hostile man, that enemy, is this evil Haman!” Then Haman was terrified before the king and the queen.
Tad Estere atbildēja: tas pretinieks un ienaidnieks ir šis niknais Amans. Tad Amans iztrūcinājās ķēniņa un ķēniņienes priekšā.
7 The king got up in a rage from the wine-drinking at the feast and went into the palace garden, but Haman stayed to beg for his life from Queen Esther. He saw that disaster was being decided against him by the king.
Un ķēniņš cēlās savā bardzībā no dzīrēm un gāja uz tā nama dārzu. Un Amans stāvēja un meklēja savu dzīvību no ķēniņienes Esteres, jo viņš redzēja, ka ķēniņš par viņu bija nodomājis nelaimi.
8 Then the king returned from the palace garden into the room where the wine had been served. Haman had just fallen on the couch where Esther was. The king said, “Will he assault the queen in my presence in my own house?” As soon as this sentence came out of the king's mouth, the servants covered Haman's face.
Un ķēniņš griezās atpakaļ no nama dārza uz dzīru namu, un Amans bija nokritis pie tā sēdekļa, uz kā Estere sēdēja. Tad ķēniņš sacīja: vai viņš arī pie ķēniņienes varas darbu grib darīt pie manis namā? Kad šis vārds no ķēniņa mutes izgāja, tad Amanam aizsedza galvu.
9 Then Harbona, one of the officials who served the king, said, “A gallows fifty cubits tall stands beside Haman's house. He set it up for Mordecai, the one who spoke up to protect the king.” The king said, “Hang him on it.”
Un Arbonus, viens no ķēniņa kambarjunkuriem, sacīja: redzi, Amana namā stāv koks piecdesmit olektis augstumā, ko Amans cēlis priekš Mardakaju, kas runājis labu priekš ķēniņa. Tad ķēniņš sacīja: pakariet viņu pie tā.
10 So they hanged Haman on the gallows that he had prepared for Mordecai. Then the king's rage died down.
Tad tie pakāra Amanu pie tā koka, ko tas Mardakajam bija licis uzcelt. Tad ķēniņa bardzība nostājās.
