< Ester 5 >

1 Pada hari ketiga puasanya, Ester mengenakan pakaian ratunya, lalu pergi ke halaman dalam istana dan berdiri di depan pintu balairung. Raja sedang duduk di atas tahta yang menghadap ke pintu itu.
And it was - on the day third and she put on Esther royalty and she stood in [the] court of [the] house of the king inner before [the] house of the king and the king [was] sitting on [the] throne of royalty his in [the] house of royalty before [the] entrance of the house.
2 Ketika ia melihat Ratu Ester berdiri di luar, ia merasa sayang kepadanya dan mengulurkan tongkat emasnya kepadanya. Maka majulah Ester, lalu menyentuh ujung tongkat itu.
And it was when saw the king Esther the queen standing in the court she bore favor in view his and he extended the king to Esther [the] scepter of gold which [was] in hand his and she drew near Esther and she touched [the] top of the scepter.
3 Kemudian bertanyalah raja, "Ada apa, Permaisuriku? Apa yang kauinginkan? Katakanlah! Meskipun kauminta setengah dari kerajaanku, akan kuberikan juga."
And he said to her the king what? [is] to you O Esther the queen and what? [is] request your up to half of the kingdom so it may be given to you.
4 Ester menjawab, "Kalau Baginda berkenan, hendaknya malam ini Baginda dan Haman datang ke perjamuan yang hamba adakan untuk Baginda."
And she said Esther if [is] on the king good let him come the king and Haman this day to the feast which I have made for him.
5 Raja menyuruh Haman cepat datang, supaya mereka dapat memenuhi undangan Ester. Maka datanglah mereka ke perjamuan yang diadakan Ester itu.
And he said the king bring quickly Haman to do [the] word of Esther and he came the king and Haman to the feast which she had made Esther.
6 Pada waktu minum anggur, raja bertanya, "Sekarang katakanlah apa yang kauinginkan. Apapun yang kauminta akan kuberikan, meskipun setengah dari kerajaanku!"
And he said the king to Esther at [the] feast of wine what? [is] petition your sp it may be given to you and what? [is] request your up to half of the kingdom and it may be done.
7 Ester menjawab,
And she answered Esther and she said petition my and request my.
8 "Kalau Baginda berkenan mengabulkan permohonan hamba, hendaknya Baginda dan Haman datang lagi ke perjamuan yang hamba adakan besok malam. Nanti pada perjamuan itu hamba akan mengajukan permohonan hamba kepada Baginda."
If I have found favor in [the] eyes of the king and if [is] on the king good to grant petition my and to do request my let him come the king and Haman to the feast which I will make for them and tomorrow I will do according to [the] word of the king.
9 Haman pulang dari perjamuan Ratu Ester dengan hati yang riang gembira. Tetapi ketika di pintu gerbang istana ia melihat Mordekhai yang tidak bangkit untuk memberi hormat kepadanya, ia menjadi marah sekali.
And he went out Haman on the day that joyful and good of heart and just as saw Haman Mordecai at [the] gate of the king and not he stood up and not he trembled from him and he was filled Haman towards Mordecai rage.
10 Namun ia menahan diri dan pulang ke rumahnya. Setibanya di sana ia menyuruh teman-temannya datang dan meminta Zeres, istrinya, untuk duduk-duduk bersama mereka.
And he restrained himself Haman and he went to house his and he sent and he gathered friends his and Zeresh wife his.
11 Lalu Haman membual kepada mereka dan menyombongkan kekayaannya, banyaknya anak-anak lelakinya, kedudukan penting yang diterimanya dari raja, dan pangkatnya yang jauh lebih tinggi daripada pegawai-pegawai lain.
And he recounted to them Haman [about] [the] splendor of wealth his and [the] multitude of sons his and [about] all that he had made great him the king and this: he had exalted him above the officials and [the] servants of the king.
12 Katanya pula, "Bahkan Ratu Ester pun hanya mengundang aku dan raja ke perjamuan yang diadakannya bagi kami, dan besok malam kami diundangnya lagi.
And he said Haman also not she let come [anyone] Esther the queen with the king to the feast which she had prepared that except me and also for tomorrow I [am] invited by her with the king.
13 Tetapi semua itu tidak berarti, selama masih kulihat Mordekhai, orang Yahudi itu, duduk di pintu gerbang istana."
And all this not it [is] adequate for me at any time when I [am] seeing Mordecai the Jew sitting at [the] gate of the king.
14 Mendengar itu istri dan semua teman-temannya mengusulkan demikian, "Suruh saja membuat tiang gantungan setinggi dua puluh dua meter. Lalu besoknya, pagi-pagi mintalah izin kepada raja untuk menggantung Mordekhai pada tiang itu. Dengan demikian kau dapat pergi ke perjamuan itu dengan hati yang tenang." Usul itu baik sekali menurut pendapat Haman, sebab itu ia segera menyuruh membuat tiang gantungan itu.
And she said to him Zeresh wife his and all friends his let people make a gallows high fifty cubit[s] and in the morning - speak to the king so people may hang Mordecai on it and go with the king to the feast joyful and it was good the word before Haman and he made the gallows.
