Книга Есфири 5
1 И бысть по триех днех... и сия червленеющися добротою красоты своея... И прошедши вся двери, ста пред царем. Он же седяше на престоле царства своего, оболчен во все одеяние славы своея.
And it comes to pass on the third day, that Esther puts on royalty, and stands in the inner-court of the house of the king in front of the house of the king, and the king is sitting on his royal throne, in the royal-house, opposite the opening of the house,
2 И взем златый жезл (царь) возложи на выю ея и облобыза ю и рече: глаголи ми. И рече ему: видех тя, господине, яко Ангела Божия, и смятеся сердце мое от страха славы твоея, яко дивен еси, господине, и лице твое благодатей исполнено. Беседующи же она к нему, паде от ослабления. Царь же смятеся, и вси раби его утешаху ея.
and it comes to pass, at the king’s seeing Esther the queen standing in the court, she has received grace in his eyes, and the king holds out to Esther the golden scepter that [is] in his hand, and Esther draws near, and touches the top of the scepter.
3 И рече ей царь: что хощеши, Есфире? И что прошение твое? Будет ти даже и до полуцарства моего.
And the king says to her, “What do you [want], Esther, O queen? And what [is] your request? To the half of the kingdom—and it is given to you.”
4 И рече Есфирь: день моего празднования днесь есть: аще убо угодно есть цареви, да приидет царь и Аман на пир, егоже сотворю днесь.
And Esther says, “If to the king [it be] good, the king comes in, and Haman, today, to the banquet that I have made for him”;
5 И рече царь: ускорите ити по Амана, да сотворим слово Есфирино. И приидоста оба на пир, егоже сотвори Есфирь.
and the king says, “Hurry Haman—to do the word of Esther”; and the king comes in, and Haman, to the banquet that Esther has made.
6 На пиру же рече царь ко Есфири: что есть, Есфире царице? (и кая есть мысль прошения твоего? Дам ти и до полуцарства моего, ) и будет елико просиши.
And the king says to Esther, during the banquet of wine, “What [is] your petition? And it is given to you; and what [is] your request? To the half of the kingdom—and it is done.”
7 И рече Есфирь: прошение мое и моление:
And Esther answers and says, “My petition and my request [is]:
8 аще обретох благодать пред царем, да приидет царь и Аман еще заутра на пир, егоже сотворю има, и заутра сотворю сие прошение.
if I have found grace in the eyes of the king, and if to the king [it be] good, to give my petition, and to perform my request, the king comes, and Haman, to the banquet that I make for them, and tomorrow I do according to the word of the king.”
9 И изыде Аман от царя зело радостен и весел: видев же Мардохеа Иудеанина во дворе (цареве не подвигнувшася и не кланяющатя пред ним), возярися зело:
And Haman goes forth on that day rejoicing and glad in heart, and at Haman’s seeing Mordecai in the gate of the king, and he has not risen nor moved for him, then is Haman full of fury against Mordecai.
10 и вшед в дом свой, призва други своя и Зосару жену свою
And Haman forces himself, and comes into his house, and sends, and brings in his friends, and his wife Zeresh,
11 и показа им богатство свое и славу, еюже возвеличи его царь, и яко сотвори его перваго быти и правити царствие.
and Haman recounts to them the glory of his wealth, and the abundance of his sons, and all that with which the king made him great, and with which he lifted him up above the heads and servants of the king.
12 И рече Аман: не зва царица ни единаго на пир со царем, но точию мене, и наутрие зваше мя:
And Haman says, “Indeed, Esther the queen brought none in with the king, to the feast that she made, except myself, and also for tomorrow I am called to her, with the king,
13 но сия не суть ми угодна, егда вижду Мардохеа Иудеанина во дворе (цареве).
and all this is not profitable to me, during all the time that I am seeing Mordecai the Jew sitting in the gate of the king.”
14 И рече ему Зосара жена его и друзие: приготови древо лакот пятьдесят, и заутра речеши цареви, и да повешен будет Мардохей на древе: ты же вниди со царем на пир и веселися. И угоден бысть Аману глагол сей, и уготова древо.
And his wife Zeresh says to him, and all his friends, “Let them prepare a tree, in height fifty cubits, and in the morning speak to the king, and they hang Mordecai on it, and go in with the king to the banquet rejoicing”; and the thing is good before Haman, and he prepares the tree.
