Ester 5
Bible David Martin 1744
1Et il arriva qu’au troisième jour Esther se vêtit d’un habit Royal, et se tint au parvis de dedans du palais du Roi qui était au devant de l’hôtel du Roi, et le Roi était assis sur le trône de son Royaume dans le palais Royal, vis-à-vis de la porte du palais.
2Or dès que le Roi vit la Reine Esther qui se tenait debout au parvis, elle gagna ses bonnes grâces ; de sorte que le Roi tendit à Esther le sceptre d’or qui était en sa main ; et Esther s’approcha, et toucha le bout du sceptre.
3Et le Roi lui dit : Qu’as-tu Reine Esther ? et quelle est ta demande ? quand ce serait jusqu’à la moitié du Royaume, il te sera donné.
4Et Esther répondit : Si le Roi le trouve bon, que le Roi vienne aujourd’hui avec Haman au festin que je lui ai préparé.
5Alors le Roi dit : Qu’on fasse venir en diligence Haman, pour accomplir la parole d’Esther. Le Roi donc vint avec Haman au festin qu’Esther avait préparé.
6Et le Roi dit à Esther au vin de la collation : Quelle est ta demande ? et elle te sera octroyée. Et quelle est ta prière ? quand tu me demanderais jusqu’à la moitié du Royaume, cela sera fait.
7Alors Esther répondit, et dit : Ma demande, et ma prière est,
8Si j’ai trouvé grâce devant le Roi, et si le Roi trouve bon d’accorder ma demande, et d’exaucer ma requête ; que le Roi et Haman viennent au festin que je leur préparerai, et je ferai demain selon la parole du Roi.
9Et Haman sortit en ce jour-là, joyeux et le coeur gai. Mais sitôt qu’il eut vu à la porte du Roi Mardochée, qui ne se leva point, et ne se remua point pour lui, Haman fut rempli de colère contre Mardochée.
10Toutefois Haman se fit violence, et vint en sa maison ; puis il envoya quérir ses amis, et Zérès sa femme.
11Alors Haman leur raconta la gloire de ses richesses, et l’excellence de ses enfants, et toutes les choses dans lesquelles le Roi l’avait agrandi, et comment il l’avait élevé par-dessus les principaux Seigneurs et Serviteurs du Roi.
12Puis Haman dit : Et même la Reine Esther n’a fait venir que moi avec le Roi au festin qu’elle a fait, et je suis encore demain convié par elle avec le Roi.
13Mais tout cela ne me sert de rien, pendant tout le temps que je vois Mardochée, ce Juif, séant à la porte du Roi.
14Alors Zérès sa femme, et tous ses amis lui répondirent : Qu’on fasse un gibet haut de cinquante coudées, et demain au matin dis au Roi qu’on y pende Mardochée ; et va-t’en joyeux au festin avec le Roi. Et la chose plut à Haman, et il fit faire le gibet.
Reina-Valera 1909
1Y ACONTECIÓ que al tercer día se vistió Esther su vestido real, y púsose en el patio de adentro de la casa del rey, enfrente del aposento del rey: y estaba el rey sentado en su solio regio en el aposento real, enfrente de la puerta del aposento.
2Y fué que, como vió á la reina Esther que estaba en el patio, ella obtuvo gracia en sus ojos; y el rey extendió á Esther el cetro de oro que tenía en la mano. Entonces se llegó Esther, y tocó la punta del cetro.
3Y dijo el rey: ¿Qué tienes, reina Esther? ¿y cuál es tu petición? Hasta la mitad del reino, se te dará.
4Y Esther dijo: Si al rey place, venga hoy el rey con Amán al banquete que le he hecho.
5Y respondió el rey: Daos priesa, llamad á Amán, para hacer lo que Esther ha dicho. Vino pues el rey con Amán al banquete que Esther dispuso.
6Y dijo el rey á Esther en el banquete del vino: ¿Cuál es tu petición, y te será otorgada? ¿Cuál es tu demanda? Aunque sea la mitad del reino, te será concedida.
7Entonces respondió Esther, y dijo: Mi petición y mi demanda es:
8Si he hallado gracia en los ojos del rey, y si place al rey otorgar mi petición y hacer mi demanda, que venga el rey con Amán al banquete que les dispondré; y mañana haré conforme á lo que el rey ha mandado.
9Y salió Amán aquel día contento y alegre de corazón; pero como vió á Mardochêo á la puerta del rey, que no se levantaba ni se movía de su lugar, llenóse contra Mardochêo de ira.
10Mas refrenóse Amán, y vino á su casa, y envió, é hizo venir sus amigos, y á Zeres su mujer.
11Y refirióles Amán la gloria de sus riquezas, y la multitud de sus hijos, y todas las cosas con que el rey le había engrandecido y con que le había ensalzado sobre los príncipes y siervos del rey.
12Y añadió Amán: También la reina Esther á ninguno hizo venir con el rey al banquete que ella dispuso, sino á mí: y aun para mañana soy convidado de ella con el rey.
13Mas todo esto nada me sirve cada vez que veo al judío Mardochêo sentado á la puerta del rey.
14Y díjole Zeres su mujer, y todos sus amigos: Hagan una horca alta de cincuenta codos, y mañana di al rey que cuelguen á Mardochêo en ella; y entra con el rey al banquete alegre. Y plugo la cosa en los ojos de Amán, é hizo preparar la horca.
King James Version
1Now it came to pass on the third day, that Esther put on her royal apparel, and stood in the inner court of the king’s house, over against the king’s house: and the king sat upon his royal throne in the royal house, over against the gate of the house.
2And it was so, when the king saw Esther the queen standing in the court, that she obtained favour in his sight: and the king held out to Esther the golden sceptre that was in his hand. So Esther drew near, and touched the top of the sceptre.
3Then said the king unto her, What wilt thou, queen Esther? and what is thy request? it shall be even given thee to the half of the kingdom.
4And Esther answered, If it seem good unto the king, let the king and Haman come this day unto the banquet that I have prepared for him.
5Then the king said, Cause Haman to make haste, that he may do as Esther hath said. So the king and Haman came to the banquet that Esther had prepared.
6And the king said unto Esther at the banquet of wine, What is thy petition? and it shall be granted thee: and what is thy request? even to the half of the kingdom it shall be performed.
7Then answered Esther, and said, My petition and my request is;
8If I have found favour in the sight of the king, and if it please the king to grant my petition, and to perform my request, let the king and Haman come to the banquet that I shall prepare for them, and I will do to morrow as the king hath said.
9Then went Haman forth that day joyful and with a glad heart: but when Haman saw Mordecai in the king’s gate, that he stood not up, nor moved for him, he was full of indignation against Mordecai.
10Nevertheless Haman refrained himself: and when he came home, he sent and called for his friends, and Zeresh his wife.
11And Haman told them of the glory of his riches, and the multitude of his children, and all the things wherein the king had promoted him, and how he had advanced him above the princes and servants of the king.
12Haman said moreover, Yea, Esther the queen did let no man come in with the king unto the banquet that she had prepared but myself; and to morrow am I invited unto her also with the king.
13Yet all this availeth me nothing, so long as I see Mordecai the Jew sitting at the king’s gate.
14Then said Zeresh his wife and all his friends unto him, Let a gallows be made of fifty cubits high, and to morrow speak thou unto the king that Mordecai may be hanged thereon: then go thou in merrily with the king unto the banquet. And the thing pleased Haman; and he caused the gallows to be made.

1Now 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.
2When 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.
3Then 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.”
4Esther said, “If it seems good to the king, let the king and Haman come today to the banquet that I have prepared for him.”
5Then 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.
6The 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.”
7Then Esther answered and said, “My petition and my request is this.
8If 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.”
9Then 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.
10Nevertheless Haman restrained himself, and went home. There, he sent and called for his friends and Zeresh his wife.
11Haman 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.
12Haman 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.
13Yet all this avails me nothing, so long as I see Mordecai the Jew sitting at the king’s gate.”
14Then 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.
