Esther 7
1 So the king and Haman came to banquet with Esther the queen.
王またハマンとともに后エステルと酒宴せんとて來れり
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.
この第二の酒宴の日に王またエステルに言けるは后エステルよなんぢのもとめは何なるや かならず許さるべし 汝のねがひは何なるや國の半分にいたるとも成就らるべし
3 Then Esther the queen answered and said, If I have found favor 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:
后エステルこたへて言けるは王よ我もし王の御目の前に恩を得王もし善と見たまはばわがもとめにしたがりこわが生命をわれに賜へ またわが願にしたがひてわが民を我に賜へ
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 bond-men and bond-women, I had held my tongue, although the enemy could not countervail the king's damage.
我とわが民は売れて滅ぼされ殺され絶されんとす 我らもし奴婢に売れたるならんには我黙してはべらん 敵人は王の損害を償なふ事能はざるなり
5 Then the king Ahasuerus answered and said to Esther the queen, Who is he, and where is he, that durst presume in his heart to do so?
アハシユエロス王后エステルにこたへて言けるは之をなさんと心にたくめる者は誰また何處にをるや
6 And Esther said, The adversary and enemy [is] this wicked Haman. Then Haman was afraid before the king and the queen.
エステルいひけるはその敵その仇人は即ちこの惡きハマンなりと 是によりてハマンは王と后の前にありて懼れたり
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.
王怒り酒宴の席をたちて宮殿の園に往きければハマンたちあがりて后エステルに生命を乞り 其はかれ王のおのれに禍災をなさんと決めしを見たればなり
8 Then the king returned out of the palace-garden into the place of the banquet of wine; and Haman had fallen upon the bed 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.
王宮殿の園より歸りて酒宴の場にいたりしにエステルのをる牀榻の上にハマン俯伏ゐたれば王いひけるは彼はまた家の内にてわが前に后を辱しめんとするかと此ことば王の口より出るや人々ハマンの面をおほへり
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 upon it.
時に王の前にある一人の侍從ハルボナいひけるは王の爲に善き事を言たりしかのモルデカイを懸んとてハマンが作りたる五十キユビトのり木ハマンの家に立をるなりと王いひけるは彼をその上に懸よ
10 So they hanged Haman on the gallows that he had prepared for Mordecai. Then was the king's wrath pacified.
人々ハマンを其モルデカイをかけんとて設けし本の上に懸たり 王の震怒つひに解く
