Esther 7

The Latin Vulgate VUL

1 Intravit itaque rex et Aman, ut biberent cum regina.

2 Dixitque ei rex etiam secunda die, postquam vino incaluerat: Quae petitio tua Esther ut detur tibi? et quid vis fieri? etiam si dimidiam partem regni mei petieris, impetrabis.

3 Ad quem illa respondit: Si inveni gratiam in oculis tuis o rex, et si tibi placet, dona mihi animam meam pro qua rogo, et populum meum pro quo obsecro.

4 Traditi enim sumus ego et populus meus, ut conteramur, iugulemur, et pereamus. Atque utinam in servos et famulas venderemur: esset tolerabile malum, et gemens tacerem: nunc autem hostis noster est, cuius crudelitas redundat in regem.

5 Respondensque rex Assuerus ait: Quis iste, et cuius potentiae, ut haec audeat facere?

6 Dixitque Esther: Hostis et inimicus noster pessimus iste Aman. Quod ille audiens, illico obstupuit, vultum regis ac reginae ferre non sustinens.

7 Rex autem iratus surrexit, et de loco convivii intravit in hortum arboribus consitum. Aman quoque surrexit ut rogaret Esther reginam pro anima sua, intellexit enim a rege sibi paratum malum.

8 Qui cum reversus esset de horto nemoribus consito, et intrasset convivii locum, reperit Aman super lectulum corruisse, in quo iacebat Esther, et ait: Etiam reginam vult opprimere, me praesente, in domo mea. Necdum verbum de ore regis exierat, et statim operuerunt faciem eius.

9 Dixitque Harbona, unus de eunuchis, qui stabant in ministerio regis: En lignum, quod paraverat Mardochaeo, qui locutus pro rege, stat in domo Aman, habens altitudinis quinquaginta cubitos. Cui dixit rex: Appendite eum in eo.

10 Suspensus itaque Aman in patibulo quod paraverat Mardochaeo: et regis ira quievit.

New King James Version NKJV

1 So the king and Haman went to dine with Queen Esther.

2 And on the second day, at the banquet of wine, the king again said to Esther, "What is your petition, Queen Esther? It shall be granted you. And what is your request, up to half the kingdom? It shall be done!"

3 Then Queen Esther answered and said, "If I have found favor 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.

4 For we have been sold, my people and I, to be destroyed, to be killed, and to be annihilated. Had we been sold as male and female slaves, I would have held my tongue, although the enemy could never compensate for the king's loss."

5 So King Ahasuerus answered and said to Queen Esther, "Who is he, and where is he, who would dare presume in his heart to do such a thing?"

6 And Esther said, "The adversary and enemy is this wicked Haman!" So Haman was terrified before the king and queen.

7 Then the king arose in his wrath from the banquet of wine and went into the palace garden; but Haman stood before Queen Esther, pleading for his life, for he saw that evil was determined against him by the king.

8 When the king returned from the palace garden to the place of the banquet of wine, Haman had fallen across the couch where Esther was. Then the king said, "Will he also assault the queen while I am in the house?" As the word left the king's mouth, they covered Haman's face.

9 Now Harbonah, one of the eunuchs, said to the king, "Look! The gallows, fifty cubits high, which Haman made for Mordecai, who spoke good on the king's behalf, is standing at the house of Haman." Then the king said, "Hang him on it!"

10 So they hanged Haman on the gallows that he had prepared for Mordecai. Then the king's wrath subsided.
