King James Version
YLT
Young's Literal Translation
So
the king and Haman came
to banquet
with Esther the queen .
And
the king cometh
in,
and Haman ,
to drink
with Esther the queen ,
And the king said
again
unto
Esther on the second day at
the banquet of wine, What is thy petition, queen
Esther? and it shall
be
granted
thee :
and what is
thy request? and
it
shall
be
performed,
even
to
the half of the kingdom.
and the king saith
to
Esther also
on the second day ,
during
the banquet of wine, `
What `
is '
thy petition, Esther ,
O
queen
? and it is
given
to
thee ;
and what thy request? unto
the half of the kingdom --
and
it
is
done
. '
Then
Esther the queen answered
and said
, If I have found favour
in thy
sight
, O king, and if it
please
the king, let my life be given me at my petition, and my people at my request :
And
Esther the queen answereth
and saith
, `
If I have found grace
in thine
eyes
, O king, and if to
the king `it
be'
good
, let my life be given to
me at my petition, and my people at my request ;
For we are
sold, I and my people, to be
destroyed
, to be
slain
, and to perish.
But
if we had been sold for
bondmen
and
bondwomen,
I had held
my
tongue,
although
the enemy
could
not countervail
the king's
damage
.
for we have
been
sold, I and my people, to cut
off
, to slay
, and to destroy;
and
if for
men-servants
and
for
maid-servants
we had been sold I had kept
silent
--
but
the adversity
is
not equal
to
the loss
of
the
king
. '
Then
the king Ahasuerus answered
and
said
unto
Esther the queen, Who is he ,
and where is he ,
that
durst
presume
in
his
heart to do so?
And
the king Ahasuerus saith,
yea,
he
saith
to
Esther the queen, `
Who `
is '
he --
this
one?
and where `
is '
this
one?
--
he whose
heart hath
filled
him
to do so? '
And Esther said
, The adversary and enemy is this wicked Haman .
Then
Haman was
afraid before
the king and the queen.
And Esther saith
, `
The man
--
adversary and enemy --
`
is '
this wicked Haman ;'
and
Haman hath
been
afraid at
the presence
of
the
king and of
the queen.
And the king arising
from the banquet of wine in
his
wrath
went
into
the palace
garden :
and 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.
And the king hath
risen,
in
his
fury,
from the banquet of wine ,
unto
the garden of
the
house,
and Haman hath
remained
to seek
for his life from
Esther the queen ,
for he hath
seen
that evil hath
been
determined against him by the king.
Then
the king returned
out of the palace
garden into
the place
of the banquet of wine ;
and Haman was
fallen
upon
the bed
whereon
Esther was.
Then
said
the king, Will
he
force
the queen also
before
me in the house? As
the word went
out of
king's
mouth, they covered Haman's
face
.
And
the king hath
turned
back
out of the garden of
the house
unto
the
house
of the banquet of wine ,
and Haman is
falling
on
the couch
on
which
Esther `is',
and
the king saith
, `Also
to
subdue
the queen with
me in the house? '
the word hath
gone
out from
the
mouth of
the
king
, and
the
face
of
Haman
they have
covered.
And Harbonah, one of the chamberlains
, said
before the king, Behold
also, the gallows
fifty
cubits
high,
which
Haman had
made for Mordecai, who spoken
good for the king, standeth
in the house of Haman .
Then
the king said
, Hang him thereon
.
And Harbonah, one of the eunuchs
, saith
before the king, `
Also lo
, the tree
that
Haman made for Mordecai, who spake
good for the king, is
standing
in the house of Haman ,
in
height
fifty
cubits;'
and
the king saith
, `
Hang him upon
it
. '
So
they hanged
Haman on
the gallows
that he had prepared for Mordecai .
Then
was
the king's
wrath
pacified
.
And
they hang
Haman upon
the tree
that he had prepared for Mordecai ,
and
the fury
of
the
king
hath
lain
down
.
