Esther 7
JPS Tanakh (Jewish Publication Society, 1917)
Chinese Union Version, punctuated (Simplified)
1So the king and Haman came to banquet with Esther the queen.
1王带着 哈曼 来赴王后 以斯帖 的筵席。
2And the king said again unto Esther on the second day at the banquet of wine: 'Whatever thy petition, queen Esther, it shall be granted thee; and whatever thy request, even to the half of the kingdom, it shall be performed.'
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。」
3Then 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;
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。
4for 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 peace, for the adversary is not worthy that the king be endamaged.'
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。」
5Then spoke the king Ahasuerus and said unto Esther the queen: 'Who is he, and where is he, that durst presume in his heart to do so?'
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？」
6And Esther said: 'An adversary and an enemy, even this wicked Haman.' Then Haman was terrified before the king and the queen.
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。
7And the king arose in his wrath from the banquet of wine and went into the palace garden; but Haman remained to make request for his life to Esther the queen; for he saw that there was evil determined against him by the king.
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。
8Then the king returned out of the palace garden into the place of the banquet of wine; and Haman was fallen upon the couch whereon Esther was. Then said the king: 'Will he even force the queen before me in the house?' As the word went out of the king's mouth, they covered Haman's face.
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。
9Then said Harbonah, one of the chamberlains that were before the king: 'Behold also, the gallows fifty cubits high, which Haman hath made for Mordecai, who spoke good for the king, standeth in the house of Haman.' And the king said: 'Hang him thereon.'
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。」
10So they hanged Haman on the gallows that he had prepared for Mordecai. Then was the king's wrath assuaged.
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。
