| 1 | Now 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 o | |
| 2 | And 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 sceptr | |
| 3 | Then 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. | καὶ εἶπεν ὁ βασιλεύς τί θέλεις εσθηρ καὶ τί σού ἐστιν τὸ ἀξίωμα ἕως τοῦ ἡμίσους τῆς βασιλείας μου καὶ ἔσται σοι |
| 4 | And 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. | εἶπεν δὲ εσθηρ ἡμέρα μου ἐπίσημος σήμερόν ἐστιν εἰ οὖν δοκεῖ τῷ βασιλεῖ ἐλθάτω καὶ αὐτὸς καὶ αμαν εἰς τὴν δοχήν ἣν ποιήσω σήμερον |
| 5 | Then 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. | καὶ εἶπεν ὁ βασιλεύς κατασπεύσατε αμαν ὅπως ποιήσωμεν τὸν λόγον εσθηρ καὶ παραγίνονται ἀμφότεροι εἰς τὴν δοχήν ἣν εἶπεν εσθηρ |
| 6 | And 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. | ἐν δὲ τῷ πότῳ εἶπεν ὁ βασιλεὺς πρὸς εσθηρ τί ἐστιν βασίλισσα εσθηρ καὶ ἔσται σοι ὅσα ἀξιοῖς |
| 7 | Then answered Esther, and said, My petition and my request is; | καὶ εἶπεν τὸ αἴτημά μου καὶ τὸ ἀξίωμά μου |
| 8 | If 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 tomorrow as the king hath s | εἰ εὗρον χάριν ἐνώπιον τοῦ βασιλέως ἐλθάτω ὁ βασιλεὺς καὶ αμαν ἐπὶ τὴν αὔριον εἰς τὴν δοχήν ἣν ποιήσω αὐτοῖς καὶ αὔριον ποιήσω τὰ αὐτά |
| 9 | Then 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. | καὶ ἐξῆλθεν ὁ αμαν ἀπὸ τοῦ βασιλέως ὑπερχαρὴς εὐφραινόμενος ἐν δὲ τῷ ἰδεῖν αμαν μαρδοχαῖον τὸν ιουδαῖον ἐν τῇ αὐλῇ ἐθυμώθη σφόδρα |
| 10 | Nevertheless Haman refrained himself: and when he came home, he sent and called for his friends, and Zeresh his wife. | καὶ εἰσελθὼν εἰς τὰ ἴδια ἐκάλεσεν τοὺς φίλους καὶ ζωσαραν τὴν γυναῖκα αὐτοῦ |
| 11 | And 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. | καὶ ὑπέδειξεν αὐτοῖς τὸν πλοῦτον αὐτοῦ καὶ τὴν δόξαν ἣν ὁ βασιλεὺς αὐτῷ περιέθηκεν καὶ ὡς ἐποίησεν αὐτὸν πρωτεύειν καὶ ἡγεῖσθαι τῆς βασιλείας |
| 12 | Haman 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. | καὶ εἶπεν αμαν οὐ κέκληκεν ἡ βασίλισσα μετὰ τοῦ βασιλέως οὐδένα εἰς τὴν δοχὴν ἀλλ' ἢ ἐμέ καὶ εἰς τὴν αὔριον κέκλημαι |
| 13 | Yet all this availeth me nothing, so long as I see Mordecai the Jew sitting at the king's gate. | καὶ ταῦτά μοι οὐκ ἀρέσκει ὅταν ἴδω μαρδοχαῖον τὸν ιουδαῖον ἐν τῇ αὐλῇ |
| 14 | Then said Zeresh his wife and all his friends unto him, Let a gallows be made of fifty cubits high, and tomorrow speak thou unto the king that Mordecai may be hanged thereon: then go thou in merrily with the king unto the banquet. And the | καὶ εἶπεν πρὸς αὐτὸν ζωσαρα ἡ γυνὴ αὐτοῦ καὶ οἱ φίλοι κοπήτω σοι ξύλον πηχῶν πεντήκοντα ὄρθρου δὲ εἰπὸν τῷ βασιλεῖ καὶ κρεμασθήτω μαρδοχαῖος ἐπὶ τοῦ ξύλου σὺ δὲ εἴσελθε εἰς τὴν δοχὴν σὺν τῷ βασιλεῖ καὶ εὐφραίνου καὶ ἤρεσεν τὸ ῥῆμα τῷ αμαν |
