< Esther 7 >

1 So the king and Haman came to take wine with Esther the queen.
I tako doðe car i Aman na objed carici Jestiri.
2 And the king said to Esther again on the second day, while they were drinking, What is your prayer, Queen Esther? for it will be given to you; and what is your request? for it will be done, even to the half of my kingdom.
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.
3 Then Esther the queen, answering, said, If I have your approval, O king, and if it is the king's pleasure, let my life be given to me in answer to my prayer, and my people at my request:
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.
4 For we are given up, I and my people, to destruction and death and to be cut off. If we had been taken as men-servants and women-servants for a price, I would have said nothing, for our trouble is little in comparison with the king's loss.
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.
5 Then King Ahasuerus said to Esther the queen, Who is he and where is he who has had this evil thought in his heart?
A car Asvir progovori i reèe carici Jestiri: ko je taj? i gdje je taj koji se usudio tako èiniti?
6 And Esther said, Our hater and attacker is this evil Haman. Then Haman was full of fear before the king and the queen.
A Jestira reèe: protivnik i neprijatelj ovaj je zlikovac Aman. A Aman se uplaši od cara i od carice.
7 And the king in his wrath got up from the feast and went into the garden: and Haman got to his feet to make a prayer for his life to Esther the queen: for he saw that the king's purpose was evil against him.
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.
8 Then the king came back from the garden into the room where they had been drinking; and Haman was stretched out on the seat where Esther was. Then the king said, Is he taking the queen by force before my eyes in my house? And while the words were on the king's lips, they put a cloth over Haman's face.
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.
9 Then Harbonah, one of the unsexed servants waiting before the king, said, See, the pillar fifty cubits high, which Haman made for Mordecai, who said a good word for the king, is still in its place in Haman's house. Then the king said, Put him to death by hanging him on it.
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.
10 So Haman was put to death by hanging him on the pillar he had made for Mordecai. Then the king's wrath became less.
I tako objesiše Amana na vješala koja bješe pripravio Mardoheju. I gnjev carev utiša se.
