Esther Plans a Banquet
1Pada hari yang ketiga Ester mengenakan pakaian ratu, lalu berdirilah ia di pelataran dalam istana raja, tepat di depan istana raja. Raja bersemayam di atas takhta kerajaan di dalam istana, berhadapan dengan pintu istana itu. 2Ketika raja melihat Ester, sang ratu, berdiri di pelataran, berkenanlah raja kepadanya, sehingga raja mengulurkan tongkat emas yang di tangannya ke arah Ester, lalu mendekatlah Ester dan menyentuh ujung tongkat itu. 3Tanya raja kepadanya: "Apa maksudmu, hai ratu Ester, dan apa keinginanmu ? Sampai setengah kerajaan sekalipun akan diberikan kepadamu." 4Jawab Ester: "Jikalau baik pada pemandangan raja, datanglah kiranya raja dengan Haman pada hari ini ke perjamuan yang diadakan oleh hamba bagi raja."
1Now it came about on the third day that Esther put on her royal robes and stood in the inner courtyard of the king’s palace in front of the king’s rooms, and the king was sitting on his royal throne in the throne room, opposite the entrance to the palace. 2When the king saw Esther the queen standing in the courtyard, she obtained favor in his sight; and the king extended to Esther the golden scepter which was in his hand. So Esther approached and touched the top of the scepter. 3Then the king said to her, “What is troubling you, Queen Esther? And what is your request? Up to half of the kingdom it shall be given to you.” 4Esther said, “If it pleases the king, may the king and Haman come this day to the banquet that I have prepared for him.”
5Maka titah raja: "Suruhlah Haman datang dengan segera, supaya kami memenuhi permintaan Ester." Lalu raja datang dengan Haman ke perjamuan yang diadakan oleh Ester. 6Sementara minum anggur bertanyalah raja kepada Ester: "Apakah permintaanmu ? Niscaya akan dikabulkan. Dan apakah keinginanmu ? Sampai setengah kerajaan sekalipun akan dipenuhi." 7Maka jawab Ester: "Permintaan dan keinginan hamba ialah: 8Jikalau hamba mendapat kasih raja, dan jikalau baik pada pemandangan raja mengabulkan permintaan serta memenuhi keinginan hamba, datang pulalah kiranya raja dengan Haman ke perjamuan yang akan hamba adakan bagi raja dan Haman; maka besok akan hamba lakukan yang dikehendaki raja."
5Then the king said, “Bring Haman quickly so that we may do as Esther desires.” So the king and Haman came to the banquet which Esther had prepared. 6As they drank their wine at the banquet, the king said to Esther, “What is your request, for it shall be granted to you. And what is your wish? Up to half of the kingdom it shall be done.” 7So Esther replied, “My request and my wish is: 8if I have found favor in the sight of the king, and if it pleases the king to grant my request and do what I wish, may the king and Haman come to the banquet which I will prepare for them, and tomorrow I will do as the king says.”
Haman’s Pride
9Pada hari itu keluarlah Haman dengan hati riang dan gembira; tetapi ketika Haman melihat Mordekhai ada di pintu gerbang istana raja, tidak bangkit dan tidak bergerak menghormati dia, maka sangat panaslah hati Haman kepada Mordekhai. 10Tetapi Haman menahan hatinya, lalu pulanglah ia ke rumahnya dan menyuruh datang sahabat-sahabatnya dan Zeresh, isterinya. 11Maka Haman menceriterakan kepada mereka itu besarnya kekayaannya, banyaknya anaknya laki-laki, dan segala kebesaran yang diberikan raja kepadanya serta kenaikan pangkatnya di atas para pembesar dan pegawai raja. 12Lagi kata Haman: "Tambahan pula tiada seorangpun diminta oleh Ester, sang ratu, untuk datang bersama-sama dengan raja ke perjamuan yang diadakannya, kecuali aku; dan untuk besokpun aku diundangnya bersama-sama dengan raja. 13Akan tetapi semuanya itu tidak berguna bagiku, selama aku masih melihat si Mordekhai, si Yahudi itu, duduk di pintu gerbang istana raja." 14Lalu kata Zeresh, isterinya, dan semua sahabatnya kepadanya: "Suruhlah orang membuat tiang yang tingginya lima puluh hasta, dan persembahkanlah besok pagi kepada raja, supaya Mordekhai disulakan orang pada tiang itu; kemudian dapatlah engkau dengan bersukacita pergi bersama-sama dengan raja ke perjamuan itu." Hal itu dipandang baik oleh Haman, lalu ia menyuruh membuat tiang itu.
9Then Haman went out that day joyful and pleased of heart; but when Haman saw Mordecai at the king’s gate and that he did not stand up or tremble before him, Haman was filled with anger against Mordecai. 10Haman controlled himself, however, and went to his house. But he sent for his friends and his wife Zeresh. 11Then Haman told them of the glory of his riches, and his many sons, and every occasion on which the king had honored him and how he had promoted him above the officials and servants of the king. 12Haman also said, “Even Esther the queen let no one except me come with the king to the banquet which she had prepared; and tomorrow also I am invited by her with the king. 13“Yet all of this does not satisfy me every time I see Mordecai the Jew sitting at the king’s gate.” 14Then Zeresh his wife and all his friends said to him, “Have a wooden gallows fifty cubits high made, and in the morning ask the king to have Mordecai hanged on it; then go joyfully with the king to the banquet.” And the advice pleased Haman, so he had the wooden gallows made.
