1 Al tercer día, Ester se puso sus vestidos de reina y se colocó en el patio interior del palacio, frente a la sala del rey. Él estaba sentado en su trono, frente a la entrada de la sala.
1 Now on the third day, Esther put on her royal clothing and stood in the inner court of the king’s house, next to the king’s house. The king sat on his royal throne in the royal house, next to the entrance of the house.
2 Cuando el rey vio a la reina Ester de pie en el patio, la miró con agrado y le extendió el cetro de oro que tenía en la mano. Ester se acercó y tocó con los dedos la punta del cetro.
2 When the king saw Esther the queen standing in the court, she obtained favor in his sight; and the king held out to Esther the golden scepter that was in his hand. So Esther came near and touched the top of the scepter.
3 El rey le preguntó: «¿Qué deseas, reina Ester? ¿Cuál es tu petición? Te la concederé, aunque me pidas la mitad de mi reino».
3 Then the king asked her, “What would you like, queen Esther? What is your request? It shall be given you even to the half of the kingdom.”
4 Ester respondió: «Si al rey le parece bien, que venga hoy con Amán al banquete que he preparado para él».
4 Esther said, “If it seems good to the king, let the king and Haman come today to the banquet that I have prepared for him.”
5 El rey dijo: «Llamen de inmediato a Amán para hacer lo que Ester ha pedido». El rey y Amán fueron al banquete que Ester había preparado.
5 Then the king said, “Bring Haman quickly, so that it may be done as Esther has said.” So the king and Haman came to the banquet that Esther had prepared.
6 Mientras bebían vino, el rey le preguntó a Ester: «¿Qué deseas pedir? Te lo concederé. ¿Cuál es tu petición? La cumpliré, aunque me pidas la mitad de mi reino».
6 The king said to Esther at the banquet of wine, “What is your petition? It shall be granted you. What is your request? Even to the half of the kingdom it shall be performed.”
7 Ester respondió: «Mi petición y mi deseo son estos:
7 Then Esther answered and said, “My petition and my request is this.
8 Si cuento con el favor del rey y a él le parece bien concederme lo que pido, que venga con Amán al banquete que les prepararé. Mañana responderé a lo que el rey me ha preguntado».
8 If I have found favor in the sight of the king, and if it pleases the king to grant my petition and to perform my request, let the king and Haman come to the banquet that I will prepare for them, and I will do tomorrow as the king has said.”
9 Aquel día Amán salió muy contento. Pero cuando vio a Mardoqueo a la puerta del palacio y notó que no se levantaba ni mostraba temor ante él, se llenó de ira contra Mardoqueo.
9 Then Haman went out that day joyful and glad of heart, but when Haman saw Mordecai in the king’s gate, that he didn’t stand up nor move for him, he was filled with wrath against Mordecai.
10 Sin embargo, se contuvo y fue a su casa. Mandó llamar a sus amigos y a su esposa Zeres.
10 Nevertheless Haman restrained himself, and went home. There, he sent and called for his friends and Zeresh his wife.
11 Les habló del esplendor de sus riquezas, de cuántos hijos tenía y de todos los honores que el rey le había dado al ponerlo por encima de sus funcionarios y servidores.
11 Haman recounted to them the glory of his riches, the multitude of his children, all the things in which the king had promoted him, and how he had advanced him above the princes and servants of the king.
12 También dijo: «La reina Ester no invitó a ningún otro hombre, aparte de mí, al banquete que preparó para el rey. Y mañana volveré a ser su invitado junto con el rey.
12 Haman also said, “Yes, Esther the queen let no man come in with the king to the banquet that she had prepared but myself; and tomorrow I am also invited by her together with the king.
13 Pero todo esto no me sirve de nada mientras vea al judío Mardoqueo sentado a la puerta del palacio».
13 Yet all this avails me nothing, so long as I see Mordecai the Jew sitting at the king’s gate.”
14 Su esposa Zeres y todos sus amigos le dijeron: «Manda levantar un poste de cincuenta codos de alto para colgarlo. Por la mañana, pide al rey que ordene colgar allí a Mardoqueo. Así podrás ir contento al banquete con el rey». La propuesta agradó a Amán, y mandó levantar el poste.
14 Then Zeresh his wife and all his friends said to him, “Let a gallows be made fifty cubits high, and in the morning speak to the king about hanging Mordecai on it. Then go in merrily with the king to the banquet.” This pleased Haman, so he had the gallows made.
