Jestira 5
1 A treæi dan obuèe se Jestira u carsko odijelo, i stade u trijemu unutrašnjega dvora carskoga prema stanu carevu; a car sjeðaše na carskom prijestolu svom u dvoru carskom prema vratima od dvora.
Forsothe in the thridde dai Hester was clothid in `the kyngis clothis, and stood in the porche of the kyngis hows, that was `the ynnere ayens the kyngis halle; and he sat on his trone, in the consistorie of the paleis, ayens the dore of the hows.
2 I kad car ugleda caricu Jestiru gdje stoji u trijemu, ona naðe milost pred njim, te car pruži prema Jestiri zlatnu palicu koja mu bješe u ruci, i Jestira pristupi i dotaèe se kraja od palice.
And whanne he hadde seyn Hester, the queen, stondynge, sche pleside hise iyen, and he helde forth ayens hir the goldun yerde, which he helde in the hond; and sche neiyide, and kisside the hiynesse of his yerde.
3 I reèe joj car: što ti je, carice Jestiro? i šta želiš? ako je i do polovine carstva, daæe ti se.
And the king seide to hir, Hester, the queen, what `wolt thou? what is thin axyng? Yhe, thouy thou axist the half part of my rewme, it schal be youun to thee.
4 A Jestira reèe: ako je ugodno caru, neka doðe car s Amanom danas na objed koji sam mu zgotovila.
And sche answeride, If it plesith the kyng, Y biseche, that thou come to me to dai, and Aaman with thee, to the feeste, which Y haue maad redi.
5 A car reèe: zovite brže Amana da uèini što reèe Jestira. I doðe car s Amanom na objed koji zgotovi Jestira.
And anoon the king seide, Clepe ye Aaman soone, that he obeie to the wille of Hester. Therfor the kyng and Aaman camen to the feeste, which the queen hadde maad redi to hem.
6 Potom car napiv se vina reèe Jestiri: šta želiš? daæe ti se; i šta moliš? ako je i do polovine carstva, biæe.
And the king seide to hir, aftir that he hadde drunk wiyn plenteuousli, What axist thou, that it be youun to thee, and for what thing axist thou? Yhe, thouy thou axist the half part of my rewme, thou schalt gete.
7 A Jestira odgovarajuæi reèe: želim i molim:
To whom Hester answeride, My axyng and preieris ben these.
8 Ako sam našla milost pred carem, i ako je ugodno caru da mi da što želim i uèini što molim, neka opet doðe car s Amanom na objed koji æu im zgotoviti, i sjutra æu uèiniti po rijeèi carevoj.
If Y haue founde grace in the siyt of the kyng, and if it plesith the kyng, that he yyue to me that, that Y axe, and that he fille myn axyng, the kyng and Aaman come to the feeste, which Y haue maad redi to hem; and to morewe Y schal opene my wille to the kyng.
9 I tako otide Aman onaj dan veseo i dobre volje. Ali kad vidje Aman Mardoheja na vratima carevijem a on ne usta niti se maèe pred njim, napuni se Aman gnjeva na Mardoheja.
Therfor Aaman yede out glad and swift `in that dai. And whanne he hadde seyn Mardochee sittynge bifor the yatis of the paleys, and not oneli to haue not rise to hym, but sotheli nether moued fro the place of his sittyng, he was ful wrooth;
10 Ali se uzdrža Aman dokle doðe kuæi svojoj; potom posla i sazva prijatelje svoje i Seresu ženu svoju.
and `whanne the ire was dissymelid, he turnede ayen in to his hows, and he clepide togidire `to him silf frendis, and Zares, his wijf;
11 I pripovjedi im Aman o slavi bogatstva svojega i o mnoštvu sinova svojih i o svemu èim ga je podigao car i kako ga je uzvisio svrh knezova i sluga carskih.
and he declaride to hem the greetnesse of his richessis, and the cumpeny of children, and with hou greet glorie the kyng hadde enhaunsid hym aboue alle hise princis and seruauntis.
12 I doda Aman: pa i carica Jestira nikoga osim mene ne pozva s carem na objed, koji bješe zgotovila, pa i sjutra sam pozvan k njoj s carem.
And he seide after these thinges, Also the queen Hester clepide noon other man with the kyng to the feeste, outakun me, anentis `which queen Y schal ete also to morewe with the kyng.
13 Ali sve to nije mi ni na što dokle god gledam onoga Mardoheja Judejca gdje sjedi na vratima carevijem.
And whanne Y haue alle these thingis, Y gesse that Y haue no thing, as long as Y se Mardochee, Jew, sittynge bifor the `kyngis yatis.
14 Tada mu reèe Seresa žena njegova i svi prijatelji njegovi: neka naèine vješala visoka pedeset lakata, i ujutru reci caru da se na njima objesi Mardohej, pa idi s carem veseo na objed. I to bi po volji Amanu i pripravi vješala.
And Zares, his wijf, and othere frendis answeriden to hym, Comaunde thou an hiy beem to be maad redi, hauynge fifti cubitis of heiythe; and seie thou eerly to the kyng, that Mardochee be hangid theronne; and so thou schalt go glad with the kyng to the feeste. And the counsel plesyde him, and he comaundide an hiy cros to be maad redi.
