以斯帖记 7
Chinese Union Version, punctuated (Simplified)
Berean Standard Bible
1王带着 哈曼 来赴王后 以斯帖 的筵席。
1So the king and Haman went to dine with Esther the queen,
2这第二次在酒席筵前，王又问 以斯帖 说：「王后 以斯帖 啊，你要什么，我必赐给你；你求什么，就是国的一半也必 为你 成就。」
2and as they drank their wine on that second day, the king asked once more, “Queen Esther, what is your petition? It will be given to you. What is your request? Even up to half the kingdom, it will be fulfilled.”
3王后 以斯帖 回答说：「我若在王眼前蒙恩，王若以为美，我所愿的，是愿王将我的性命赐给我；我所求的，是求王将我的本族赐给我。
3Queen Esther replied, “If I have found favor in your sight, O king, and if it pleases the king, grant me my life as my petition, and the lives of my people as my request.
4因我和我的本族被卖了，要剪除杀戮灭绝我们。我们若被卖为奴为婢，我也闭口不言；但王的损失，敌人万不能补足。」
4For my people and I have been sold out to destruction, death, and annihilation. If we had merely been sold as menservants and maidservants, I would have remained silent, because no such distress would justify burdening the king.”
5亚哈随鲁 王问王后 以斯帖 说：「擅敢起意如此行的是谁？这人在哪里呢？」
5Then King Xerxes spoke up and asked Queen Esther, “Who is this, and where is the one who would devise such a scheme?”
6以斯帖 说：「仇人敌人就是这恶人 哈曼 ！」 哈曼 在王和王后面前就甚惊惶。
6Esther replied, “The adversary and enemy is this wicked man—Haman!” And Haman stood in terror before the king and queen.
7王便大怒，起来离开酒席往御园去了。 哈曼 见王定意要加罪与他，就起来，求王后 以斯帖 救命。
7In his fury, the king arose from drinking his wine and went to the palace garden, while Haman stayed behind to beg Queen Esther for his life, for he realized that the king was planning a terrible fate for him.
8王从御园回到酒席之处，见 哈曼 伏在 以斯帖 所靠的榻上；王说：「他竟敢在宫内、在我面前凌辱王后吗？」这话一出王口，人就蒙了 哈曼 的脸。
8Just as the king returned from the palace garden to the banquet hall, Haman was falling on the couch where Esther was reclining. The king exclaimed, “Would he actually assault the queen while I am in the palace?” As soon as the words had left the king’s mouth, they covered Haman’s face.
9伺候王的一个太监名叫 哈波拿 ，说：「 哈曼 为那救王有功的 末底改 做了五丈高的木架，现今立在 哈曼 家里。」王说：「把 哈曼 挂在其上。」
9Then Harbonah, one of the eunuchs attending the king, said: “There is a gallows fifty cubits high at Haman’s house. He had it built for Mordecai, who gave the report that saved the king.” “Hang him on it!” declared the king.
10于是人将 哈曼 挂在他为 末底改 所预备的木架上。王的忿怒这才止息。
10So they hanged Haman on the gallows he had prepared for Mordecai. Then the fury of the king subsided.
