Esther 5
1 Now it came to pass on the third day, that Esther put on [her] royal [apparel], and stood in the inner court of the king's house, over against the king's house: and the king sat upon his royal throne in the royal house, over against the gate of the house.
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.
2 And it was so, when the king saw Esther the queen standing in the court, [that] she obtained favor in his sight: and the king held out to Esther the golden scepter that [was] in his hand. So Esther drew near, and touched the top of the scepter.
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.
3 Then said the king to her, What wilt thou, queen Esther? and what [is] thy request? it shall be even given thee to the half of the kingdom.
I reèe joj car: što ti je, carice Jestiro? i šta želiš? ako je i do polovine carstva, daæe ti se.
4 And Esther answered, If [it shall seem] good to the king, let the king and Haman come this day to the banquet that I have prepared for him.
A Jestira reèe: ako je ugodno caru, neka doðe car s Amanom danas na objed koji sam mu zgotovila.
5 Then the king said, Cause Haman to make haste, that he may do as Esther hath said. So the king and Haman came to the banquet that Esther had prepared.
A car reèe: zovite brže Amana da uèini što reèe Jestira. I doðe car s Amanom na objed koji zgotovi Jestira.
6 And the king said to Esther at the banquet of wine, What [is] thy petition? and it shall be granted thee: and what [is] thy request? even to the half of the kingdom it shall be performed.
Potom car napiv se vina reèe Jestiri: šta želiš? daæe ti se; i šta moliš? ako je i do polovine carstva, biæe.
7 Then answered Esther, and said, My petition and my request [is]:
A Jestira odgovarajuæi reèe: želim i molim:
8 If I have found favor in the sight of the king, and if it shall please the king to grant my petition, and to perform my request, let the king and Haman come to the banquet that I shall prepare for them, and I will do to-morrow as the king hath said.
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.
9 Then went Haman forth that day joyful and with a glad heart: but when Haman saw Mordecai in the king's gate, that he stood not up, nor moved for him, he was full of indignation against Mordecai.
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.
10 Nevertheless, Haman refrained himself: and when he came home, he sent and called for his friends, and Zeresh his wife.
Ali se uzdrža Aman dokle doðe kuæi svojoj; potom posla i sazva prijatelje svoje i Seresu ženu svoju.
11 And Haman told them of the glory of his riches, and the multitude of his children, and all [the things] in which the king had promoted him, and how he had advanced him above the princes and servants of the king.
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.
12 Haman said moreover, Yes, Esther the queen let no man come in with the king to the banquet that she had prepared but myself; and to-morrow I am invited to her also with the king.
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.
13 Yet all this availeth me nothing, so long as I see Mordecai the Jew sitting at the king's gate.
Ali sve to nije mi ni na što dokle god gledam onoga Mardoheja Judejca gdje sjedi na vratima carevijem.
14 Then said Zeresh his wife and all his friends to him, Let a gallows be made fifty cubits high, and to-morrow speak thou to the king that Mordecai may be hanged upon it: then go thou in merrily with the king to the banquet. And the thing pleased Haman; and he caused the gallows to be made.
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.
