Jestira 7
1 I tako doðe car i Aman na objed carici Jestiri.
So the king and Haman came to banquet with Esther the queen.
2 I reèe car Jestiri opet drugi dan napivši se vina: šta želiš, carice Jestiro? daæe ti se; i šta moliš? ako je i do polovine carstva, biæe.
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.
3 Tada odgovori carica Jestira i reèe: ako sam našla milost pred tobom, care, i ako je caru ugodno, neka mi se pokloni život moj na moju želju i narod moj na moju molbu.
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:
4 Jer smo prodani ja i moj narod da nas potru, pobiju i istrijebe. Da smo prodani da budemo sluge i sluškinje, muèala bih, premda neprijatelj ne bi mogao naknaditi štete caru.
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.
5 A car Asvir progovori i reèe carici Jestiri: ko je taj? i gdje je taj koji se usudio tako èiniti?
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?
6 A Jestira reèe: protivnik i neprijatelj ovaj je zlikovac Aman. A Aman se uplaši od cara i od carice.
And Esther said, The adversary and enemy is this wicked Haman. Then Haman was afraid before the king and the queen.
7 Tada car gnjevan usta od vina i otide u vrt kod dvora, a Aman osta da moli za život svoj caricu Jestiru, jer vidje da je car naumio zlo po nj.
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.
8 Potom se car vrati iz vrta dvorskoga u kuæu gdje bješe pio vino; a Aman bješe pao na odar gdje sjeðaše Jestira. I car reèe: eda li æe i caricu osramotiti kod mene u kuæi? Èim ta rijeè izide iz usta carevijeh, pokriše lice Amanu.
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.
9 I Arvona, jedan od dvorana carevijeh, reèe: evo i vješala što je naèinio Aman za Mardoheja koji je govorio dobro po cara stoje kod kuæe Amanove, visoka pedeset lakata. I reèe car: objesite ga na njih.
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.
10 I tako objesiše Amana na vješala koja bješe pripravio Mardoheju. I gnjev carev utiša se.
So they hanged Haman on the gallows that he had prepared for Mordecai. Then was the king’s wrath pacified.
