¹So the king and Haman came to banquet with Esther the queen.

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

²And the king said again unto 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? even to the half of the kingdom it shall be performed.

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!'

³Then Esther the queen answered and said, If I have found favor in thy sight, O king, and if it please the king, let my life be given 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 are sold, I and my people, to be destroyed, to be slain, and to perish. But if we had been sold for bondmen and bondwomen, I had held my peace, although the adversary could not have compensated for the king's damage.

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.'

⁵Then spake the king Ahasuerus and said unto Esther the queen, Who is he, and where is he, that durst presume in his heart 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 said, An adversary and an enemy, even this wicked Haman. Then Haman was afraid before the king and the queen.

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

⁷And the king arose in his wrath from the banquet of wine [and 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.

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.

⁸Then the king returned out of the palace garden into the place of the banquet of wine; and Haman was fallen upon the couch whereon Esther was. Then said the king, Will he even force the queen before me in the house? As the word went out of the king's mouth, they covered Haman's face.

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.

⁹Then said Harbonah, one of the chamberlains that were before the king, Behold also, the gallows fifty cubits high, which Haman hath made for Mordecai, who spake good for the king, standeth in the house of Haman. And the king said, Hang him thereon.

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!'

¹⁰So they hanged Haman on the gallows that he had prepared for Mordecai. Then was the king's wrath pacified.

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