YLT
Young's Literal Translation
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 .
And
it cometh
to pass on the third day, that Esther putteth
on royalty
, and standeth
in the inner -
court of the house of
the
king
over -
against the house of
the
king,
and the king is
sitting
on
his royal throne ,
in the royal -
house, over -
against the opening
of the house ,
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.
and it cometh
to
pass
, at
the king's
seeing
Esther the queen standing in the court, she hath
received
grace
in his eyes,
and the king holdeth
out to Esther the golden sceptre that `is'
in his hand ,
and
Esther draweth
near, and toucheth
the top of the sceptre.
Then
said
the king unto
her, What wilt
thou
, queen Esther
? and what is
thy request? it
shall
be
even
given
thee
to
the half of the kingdom.
And
the king saith
to
her, `
What --
to
thee
Esther
, O
queen? and what thy request? unto
the half of the kingdom --
and
it
is
given
to
thee
. '
And Esther answered
, If it
seem
good
unto the king, let
the king and Haman come
this
day unto the banquet that I have prepared
for him .
And Esther saith
, `
If unto the king `it
be'
good
, the king doth
come
in,
and Haman ,
to-
day ,
unto the banquet that I have made
for him ;'
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
.
and
the king saith
, `Haste
ye
Haman --
to do the
word
of
Esther ;'
and
the king cometh
in,
and Haman ,
unto
the banquet that Esther hath
made
.
And the king said
unto
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
.
And the king saith
to
Esther ,
during
the banquet of wine, `
What `
is '
thy petition? and it is
given
to
thee ;
and what thy request? unto
the half of the kingdom --
and
it is
done
. '
Then
answered
Esther ,
and said
, My petition and my request is ;
And
Esther answereth
and saith
, `
My petition and my request `
is ':
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 to morrow
as
the king hath
said
.
if I have found grace
in the eyes
of the king, and if unto
the king `it
be'
good,
to give
my petition, and to perform my request, the king doth
come,
and Haman ,
unto
the banquet that I make
for them, and to-morrow
I do according
to the word
of
the
king. '
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.
And
Haman goeth
forth on
that day rejoicing
and glad in
heart ,
and
at
Haman's
seeing
Mordecai in the gate of
the
king
, and
he hath
not risen
nor moved for him, then
is
Haman
full of fury
against Mordecai.
Nevertheless
Haman refrained
himself :
and when
he
came
home
, he
sent
and called
for
his friends, and Zeresh his wife .
And
Haman forceth
himself ,
and cometh
in
unto
his
house
, and sendeth,
and
bringeth
in
his friends, and Zeresh his wife ,
And Haman told
them of
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.
and Haman recounteth
to
them the glory of his wealth
, and the abundance
of his sons
, and all that
with
which
the king made
him great
, and with
which
he lifted
him up
above the heads
and servants of the king.
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 to morrow am
I invited
unto
her also
with the king .
And
Haman saith
, `
Yea, Esther the queen brought
none
in with the king ,
unto the feast
that she made,
except
myself ,
and also
for
to -
morrow I am
called
to
her ,
with the king ,
Yet
all this availeth
me nothing
, so
long
as
I see
Mordecai the Jew sitting at
the king's
gate.
and
all this is
not
profitable
to
me, during
all
the
time
that
I am
seeing
Mordecai the Jew sitting in
the gate of
the
king
. '
Then
said
Zeresh his wife and all his friends unto
him
, Let a gallows
be
made
of
fifty cubits high
, and to
morrow
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
.
And
Zeresh his wife saith
to
him,
and all his friends, `
Let them
prepare
a tree,
in
height
fifty cubits, and in
the
morning
speak to
the king ,
and
they
hang
Mordecai on
it,
and
go thou in with the king unto the banquet rejoicing;'
and the thing is
good
before
Haman ,
and he prepareth
the tree
.
