Est 7:1Intrāvit itaque rēx et Aman, ut biberent cum rēgīnā.So the king and Haman went in, to drink with the queen. Est 7:2Dīxitque eī rēx etiam secundā diē, postquam vīnō incaluerat: Quae est petītiō tua, Esther, ut dētur tibi?And the king said to her on the second day also, after he had grown warm with wine: "What is your petition, Esther, that it may be given to you? Est 7:2Et quid vīs fierī?And what do you wish to be done? Est 7:2Etiam sī dīmidiam partem regnī meī petieris, impetrābis.Even if you ask for half of my kingdom, you will obtain it." Est 7:3Ad quem illa respondit: Sī invēnī grātiam in oculīs tuīs ō rēx, et sī tibi placet, dōnā mihi animam meam prō quā rogō, et populum meum prō quō obsecrō.To him she answered: "If I have found favour in your eyes, O king, and if it pleases you, give me my life, for which I ask, and my people, for whom I beg. Est 7:4Trāditī enim sumus ego et populus meus, ut conterāmur, jugulēmur, et pereāmus.For we have been handed over, I and my people, to be crushed, slaughtered, and to perish.
Est 7:4Atque utinam in servōs et famulās vēnderēmur: esset tolerābile malum, et gemēns tacērem: nunc autem hostis noster est, cujus crūdēlitās redundat in rēgem.And would that we were being sold as slaves and handmaids: it would be a bearable evil, and groaning I would be silent: but now it is our enemy, whose cruelty overflows onto the king." Est 7:5Respondēnsque rēx Assuērus, ait: Quis est iste, et cujus potentiae, ut haec audeat facere?And King Ahasuerus, answering, said: "Who is this, and of what power, that he dares to do these things?" Est 7:6Dīxitque Esther: Hostis et inimīcus noster pessimus iste est Aman.And Esther said: "Our enemy and worst foe is this Haman." Est 7:6Quod ille audiēns, illicō obstupuit, vultum rēgis ac rēgīnae ferre nōn sustinēns.Hearing this, he was at once stunned, not enduring to bear the face of the king and queen. Est 7:7Rēx autem īrātus surrēxit, et dē locō convīviī intrāvit in hortum arboribus cōnsitum.But the king, angered, rose, and from the place of the banquet went into the garden planted with trees. Est 7:7Aman quoque surrēxit ut rogāret Esther rēgīnam prō animā suā: intellēxit enim ā rēge sibi parātum malum.Haman also rose to beg Queen Esther for his life: for he understood that evil had been prepared for him by the king.
Est 7:8Quī cum reversus esset dē hortō nemoribus cōnsitō, et intrāsset convīviī locum, reperit Aman super lectulum corruisse in quō jacēbat Esther, et ait: Etiam rēgīnam vult opprimere, mē praesente, in domō meā.And when he had returned from the garden planted with groves, and had entered the place of the banquet, he found that Haman had fallen upon the couch on which Esther was lying, and he said: "He wants to assault even the queen, with me present, in my own house!" Est 7:8Necdum verbum dē ōre rēgis exierat, et statim operuērunt faciem ejus.Not yet had the word gone out from the king's mouth, and at once they covered his face. Est 7:9Dīxitque Harbona, ūnus dē eunūchīs, quī stābant in ministeriō rēgis: Ēn lignum quod parāverat Mardochaeō, quī locūtus est prō rēge, stat in domō Aman, habēns altitūdinis quīnquāgintā cubitōs.And Harbona, one of the eunuchs who stood in the service of the king, said: "Look, the wood which he had prepared for Mordecai, who spoke for the king, stands in Haman's house, having fifty cubits of height." Est 7:9Cui dīxit rēx: Appendite eum in eō.The king said to him: "Hang him on it."
Est 7:10Suspēnsus est itaque Aman in patibulō quod parāverat Mardochaeō: et rēgis īra quiēvit.So Haman was hanged on the gibbet which he had prepared for Mordecai: and the king's anger grew quiet.
