¹And the king cometh in, and Haman, to drink with Esther the queen,

¹Kui kuningas ja Haaman olid tulnud kuninganna Estri juurde peole,

²and the king saith to Esther also on the second day, during the banquet of wine, `What [is] thy petition, Esther, O queen? and it is given to thee; and what thy request? unto the half of the kingdom — and it is done.`

²siis ütles kuningas veini juues Estrile ka teisel päeval: 'Mida sa palud, kuninganna Ester, see antakse sulle! Ja su soov, olgu see või pool kuningriiki, täidetakse!'

³And Esther the queen answereth and saith, `If I have found grace in thine eyes, O king, and if to the king [it be] good, let my life be given to me at my petition, and my people at my request;

³Ja kuninganna Ester kostis ning ütles: 'Kui ma olen sinu silmis armu leidnud, kuningas, ja kui kuningas heaks arvab, siis kingitagu mulle mu palvel mu elu ja vastavalt mu soovile mu rahvas!

⁴for we have been sold, I and my people, to cut off, to slay, and to destroy; and if for men-servants and for maid-servants we had been sold I had kept silent — but the adversity is not equal to the loss of the king.`

⁴Sest meie, mina ja mu rahvas, oleme müüdud hävitamiseks, tapmiseks ja hukkamiseks. Kui meid oleks müüdud sulaseiks ja teenijaiks, siis ma oleksin vaikinud, sest seesugune õnnetus ei oleks kuninga tülitamiseks küllaldane.'

⁵And the king Ahasuerus saith, yea, he saith to Esther the queen, `Who [is] he — this one? and where [is] this one? — he whose heart hath filled him to do so?`

⁵Siis rääkis kuningas Ahasveros ja küsis kuninganna Estrilt: 'Kes see on ja kus see on, kes on julgenud nõnda teha?'

⁶And Esther saith, `The man — adversary and enemy — [is] this wicked Haman;` and Haman hath been afraid at the presence of the king and of the queen.

⁶Ja Ester vastas: 'Vaenlane ja vihamees on see kuri Haaman!' Siis kohkus Haaman kuninga ja kuninganna ees.

⁷And the king hath risen, in his fury, from the banquet of wine, unto the garden of the house, and Haman hath remained to seek for his life from Esther the queen, for he hath seen that evil hath been determined against him by the king.

⁷Ja kuningas tõusis vihasena veini joomast ning läks palee rohuaeda, aga Haaman jäi paluma kuninganna Estrit oma elu pärast, sest ta nägi, et kuninga poolt oli tema kohta halba otsustatud.

⁸And the king hath turned back out of the garden of the house unto the house of the banquet of wine, and Haman is falling on the couch on which Esther [is], and the king saith, `Also to subdue the queen with me in the house?` the word hath gone out from the mouth of the king, and the face of Haman they have covered.

⁸Kui kuningas tuli palee rohuaiast tagasi kotta, kus veini oli joodud, siis oli Haaman langenud asemele, millel Ester lamas. Ja kuningas ütles: 'Kas ta tahab isegi kuningannat mu oma kojas ära naerda?' Vaevalt oli see sõna kuninga suust välja tulnud, kui juba Haamani nägu kaeti.

⁹And Harbonah, one of the eunuchs, saith before the king, `Also lo, the tree that Haman made for Mordecai, who spake good for the king, is standing in the house of Haman, in height fifty cubits;` and the king saith, `Hang him upon it.`

⁹Ja Harbona, üks kuningat teenivatest eunuhhidest, ütles: 'Ennäe, seal on ka puu, mille Haaman laskis valmistada Mordokai jaoks, kes kuninga huvides kõneles. See seisab Haamani koja juures, viiskümmend küünart kõrge.' Ja kuningas ütles: 'Pooge ta sinna!'

¹⁰And they hang Haman upon the tree that he had prepared for Mordecai, and the fury of the king hath lain down.

¹⁰Ja Haaman poodi puusse, mille ta Mordokai jaoks oli lasknud valmistada; siis lahtus kuninga viha.
