Esther 7
1 So the king and Haman came to banquet with Esther the queen.
Вниде же царь и Аман пировати со царицею.
2 And the king said again to Esther on the second day at the banquet of wine, What is thy petition, queen Esther? and it shall be granted thee: and what is thy request? and it shall be performed, even to the half of the kingdom.
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 and said, If I have found favour in thy sight, O king, and if it shall 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 male and female slaves, I had held my tongue, although the enemy could not compensate 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 the king Ahasuerus answered and said to Esther the queen, Who is he, and where is he, that dared presume in his heart to do so?
И рече царь: кто есть сей, иже дерзну сотворити вещь сию?
6 And Esther said, The adversary and enemy is 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 And the king arising from the banquet of wine in his wrath went into the palace garden: and 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 upon the couch on which Esther was. Then said the king, Will he force the queen also before 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 And Harbonah, one of the chamberlains, said before the king, Behold also, the gallows fifty cubits high, which Haman had made for Mordecai, who had spoken good for the king, standeth in the house of Haman. Then 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.
