1 А трећи дан обуче се Јестира у царско одело, и стаде у трему унутрашњег двора царског према стану царевом; а цар сеђаше на царском престолу свом у двору царском према вратима од двора.
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 И кад цар угледа царицу Јестиру где стоји у трему, она нађе милост пред њим, те цар пружи према Јестири златну палицу која му беше у руци, и Јестира приступи и дотаче се краја од палице.
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 И рече јој цар: Шта ти је, царице Јестиро? И шта желиш? Ако је и до половине царства, даће ти се.
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 А Јестира рече: Ако је угодно цару, нека дође цар с Аманом данас на обед који сам му зготовила.
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 А цар рече: Зовите брже Амана да учини шта рече Јестира. И дође цар с Аманом на обед који зготови Јестира.
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 Потом цар, напив се вина, рече Јестири: Шта желиш? Даће ти се; и шта молиш? Ако је и до половине царства, биће.
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 А Јестира одговарајући рече: Желим и молим:
7 Then Esther answered and said, “My petition and my request is this.
8 Ако сам нашла милост пред царем, и ако је угодно цару да ми да шта желим и учини шта молим, нека опет дође цар с Аманом на обед који ћу им зготовити, и сутра ћу учинити по речи царевој.
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 И тако отиде Аман онај дан весео и добре воље. Али кад виде Аман Мардохеја на вратима царевим, а он не уста нити се маче пред њим, напуни се Аман гнева на Мардохеја.
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 Али се уздржа Аман докле дође кући својој; потом посла и сазва пријатеље своје и Сересу жену своју.
10 Nevertheless Haman restrained himself, and went home. There, he sent and called for his friends and Zeresh his wife.
11 И приповеди им Аман о слави богатства свог и о мноштву синова својих и о свему чим га је подигао цар и како га је узвисио сврх кнезова и слуга царских.
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 И дода Аман: Па и царица Јестира никога осим мене не позива с царем на обед, који беше зготовила, па и сутра сам позван к њој с царем.
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 Али све то није ми ни на шта докле год гледам оног Мардохеја Јудејца где седи на вратима царевим.
13 Yet all this avails me nothing, so long as I see Mordecai the Jew sitting at the king’s gate.”
14 Тада му рече Сереса, жена његова и сви пријатељи његови: Нека начине вешала висока педесет лаката, и ујутру реци цару да се на њима обеси Мардохеј, па иди с царем весео на обед. И то би по вољи Аману и приправи вешала.
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.
