< 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 entrance of the house.
Tad Estere apģērbās trešā dienā kā ķēniņiene un gāja ķēniņa nama iekšējā pagalmā, ķēniņa namam pretī; un ķēniņš sēdēja uz sava goda krēsla ķēniņa namā, tām nama durvīm pretī.
2 And it was so, when the king saw Esther the queen standing in the court, that she obtained favour in his sight: and the king held out to Esther the golden sceptre that was in his hand. So Esther drew near, and touched the top of the sceptre.
Un kad ķēniņš redzēja ķēniņieni Esteri pagalmā stāvam, tad tā atrada žēlastību priekš viņa acīm, tā ka ķēniņš to zelta scepteri, kas bija viņa rokā, Esterei piesniedza, un Estere piegāja un aizskāra sceptera galu.
3 Then said the king unto her, What wilt thou, queen Esther? and what is thy request? it shall be given thee even to the half of the kingdom.
Tad ķēniņš uz viņu sacīja: kas tev kait, ķēniņiene Estere, jeb ko tu prasi? Un pat valsts viena puse tev taps dota.
4 And Esther said, If it seem good unto the king, let the king and Haman come this day unto the banquet that I have prepared for him.
Tad Estere sacīja: ja ķēniņam patīk, tad lai ķēniņš un Amans šodien nāk uz tām dzīrēm, ko es viņam esmu sataisījusi.
5 Then the king said, Cause Haman to make haste, that it may be done as Esther hath said. So the king and Haman came to the banquet that Esther had prepared.
Un ķēniņš sacīja: lai Amans steidzās un dara pēc Esteres vārda. Kad nu ķēniņš un Amans nāca uz tām dzīrēm, ko Estere bija sataisījusi,
6 And the king said unto Esther at the banquet of wine, What is thy petition? and it shall he granted thee: and what is thy request? even to the half of the kingdom it shall be performed.
Tad ķēniņš sacīja uz Esteri vīnu dzerot: ko tu lūdzi, tas tev taps dots, un ko tu prasi, tam būs notikt, arī līdz pusvalstij.
7 Then answered Esther, and said, My petition and my request is;
Tad Estere atbildēja un sacīja: mana lūgšana un mana prasīšana ir šī.
8 if I have found favour in the sight of the king, and if it 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 tomorrow as the king hath said.
Ja esmu atradusi žēlastību priekš ķēniņa un ja ķēniņam ir pa prātam, manu lūgšanu man dot un darīt, ko es prasīšu, tad lai ķēniņš un Amans nāk uz tām dzīrēm, ko es tiem sataisīšu, tad es rītu darīšu pēc ķēniņa vārda.
9 Then went Haman forth that day joyful and glad of heart: but when Haman saw Mordecai in the king’s gate, that he stood not up nor moved for him, he was filled with wrath against Mordecai.
Tad Amans tai dienā izgāja līksms un ar labu prātu. Bet kad Amans Mardakaju redzēja ķēniņa vārtos, ka tas necēlās un priekš viņa nelocījās, tad Amans palika dusmu pilns pret Mardakaju, tomēr viņš savaldījās.
10 Nevertheless Haman refrained himself, and went home; and he sent and fetched his friends and Zeresh his wife.
Un tas nāca savā namā, un sūtīja un lika nākt saviem draugiem līdz ar Zeresu, savu sievu.
11 And Haman recounted unto them the glory of his riches, and the multitude of his children, and all the things wherein the king had promoted him, and how he had advanced him above the princes and servants of the king.
Un Amans tiem izteica savas bagātības godu un savu dēlu pulku, un visu, kā ķēniņš viņu bija paaugstinājis, un kā tas viņu bija pacēlis pār tiem lielkungiem un ķēniņa kalpiem.
12 Haman said moreover, Yea, Esther the queen did let no man come in with the king unto the banquet that she had prepared but myself; and tomorrow also am I invited by her together with the king.
Un Amans sacīja: un ķēniņiene Estere nevienam nav likusi nākt līdz ar ķēniņu uz tām dzīrēm, ko tā ir sataisījusi, kā man vien, un arī uz rītu no viņas esmu aicināts līdz ar ķēniņu.
13 Yet all this availeth me nothing, so long as I see Mordecai the Jew sitting at the king’s gate.
Bet viss tas man nav gana, kamēr es to Jūdu Mardakaju redzu sēžam ķēniņa vārtos.
14 Then said Zeresh his wife and all his friends unto him, Let a gallows be made of fifty cubits high, and in the morning speak thou unto the king that Mordecai may be hanged thereon: then go thou in merrily with the king unto the banquet. And the thing pleased Haman; and he caused the gallows to be made.
Tad viņa sieva Zeresa un visi viņa draugi uz to sacīja: lai uzceļ koku piecdesmit olektis augstumā, un saki rītu ķēniņam, ka Mardakaju pie tā būs pakārt, un tad ej līksms ar ķēniņu uz dzīrēm. Un šis padoms patika Amanam, un viņš to koku lika uzcelt,
