Esther 7
1 So the king and Haman came to banquet with Esther the queen.
王またハマンとともに后エステルと酒宴せんとて來れり
2 The king said again to Esther on the second day at the banquet of wine, “What is your petition, queen Esther? It shall be granted you. What is your request? Even to the half of the kingdom it shall be performed.”
この第二の酒宴の日に王またエステルに言けるは后エステルよなんぢのもとめは何なるや かならず許さるべし 汝のねがひは何なるや國の半分にいたるとも成就らるべし
3 Then Esther the queen answered, “If I have found favour in your sight, O king, and if it pleases the king, let my life be given me at my petition, and my people at my request.
后エステルこたへて言けるは王よ我もし王の御目の前に恩を得王もし善と見たまはばわがもとめにしたがりこわが生命をわれに賜へ またわが願にしたがひてわが民を我に賜へ
4 For we are sold, I and my people, to be destroyed, to be slain, and to perish. But if we had been sold for male and female slaves, I would have held my peace, although the adversary could not have compensated for the king’s loss.”
我とわが民は売れて滅ぼされ殺され絶されんとす 我らもし奴婢に売れたるならんには我黙してはべらん 敵人は王の損害を償なふ事能はざるなり
5 Then King Ahasuerus said to Esther the queen, “Who is he, and where is he who dared presume in his heart to do so?”
アハシユエロス王后エステルにこたへて言けるは之をなさんと心にたくめる者は誰また何處にをるや
6 Esther said, “An adversary and an enemy, even this wicked Haman!” Then Haman was afraid before the king and the queen.
エステルいひけるはその敵その仇人は即ちこの惡きハマンなりと 是によりてハマンは王と后の前にありて懼れたり
7 The king arose in his wrath from the banquet of wine and went into the palace garden. 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.
王怒り酒宴の席をたちて宮殿の園に往きければハマンたちあがりて后エステルに生命を乞り 其はかれ王のおのれに禍災をなさんと決めしを見たればなり
8 Then the king returned out of the palace garden into the place of the banquet of wine; and Haman had fallen on the couch where Esther was. Then the king said, “Will he even assault the queen in front of me in the house?” As the word went out of the king’s mouth, they covered Haman’s face.
王宮殿の園より歸りて酒宴の場にいたりしにエステルのをる牀榻の上にハマン俯伏ゐたれば王いひけるは彼はまた家の内にてわが前に后を辱しめんとするかと此ことば王の口より出るや人々ハマンの面をおほへり
9 Then Harbonah, one of the eunuchs who were with the king, said, “Behold, the gallows fifty cubits high, which Haman has made for Mordecai, who spoke good for the king, is standing at Haman’s house.” The king said, “Hang him on it!”
時に王の前にある一人の侍從ハルボナいひけるは王の爲に善き事を言たりしかのモルデカイを懸んとてハマンが作りたる五十キユビトのり木ハマンの家に立をるなりと王いひけるは彼をその上に懸よ
10 So they hanged Haman on the gallows that he had prepared for Mordecai. Then the king’s wrath was pacified.
人々ハマンを其モルデカイをかけんとて設けし本の上に懸たり 王の震怒つひに解く
