Esther 7 (NET) New English Translation

1 So the king and Haman came to dine with Queen Esther.
2 On the second day of the banquet of wine the king asked Esther, "What is your request, Queen Esther? It shall be granted to you. And what is your petition? Ask up to half the kingdom, and it shall be done!"
3 Queen Esther replied, "If I have met with your approval, O king, and if the king is so inclined, grant me my life as my request, and my people as my petition.
4 For we have been sold— both I and my people— to destruction and to slaughter and to annihilation! If we had simply been sold as male and female slaves, I would have remained silent, for such distress would not have been sufficient for troubling the king."
5 Then King Ahasuerus responded to Queen Esther, "Who is this individual? Where is this person to be found who is presumptuous enough to act in this way?"
6 Esther replied, "The oppressor and enemy is this evil Haman!" Then Haman became terrified in the presence of the king and queen.
7 In rage the king arose from the banquet of wine and withdrew to the palace garden. Meanwhile, Haman stood to beg Queen Esther for his life, for he realized that the king had now determined a catastrophic end for him.
8 When the king returned from the palace garden to the banquet of wine, Haman was throwing himself down on the couch where Esther was lying. The king exclaimed, "Will he also attempt to rape the queen while I am still in the building!" As these words left the king's mouth, they covered Haman's face.
9 Harbona, one of the king's eunuchs, said, "Indeed, there is the gallows that Haman made for Mordecai, who spoke out in the king's behalf. It stands near Haman's home and is seventy-five feet high." The king said, "Hang him on it!"
10 So they hanged Haman on the very gallows that he had prepared for Mordecai. The king's rage then abated.
1 So the king H4428 D-NMS and Haman H2001 came H935 W-VQY3MS to banquet H8354 with H5973 PREP Esther H635 the queen H4436 .
2 And the king H4428 D-NMS said H559 W-VQY3MS again H1571 CONJ unto Esther H635 on the second H8145 D-ONUM day H3117 B-AMS at the banquet H4960 of wine H3196 D-NMS , What H4100 IPRO is thy petition H7596 , queen H4436 Esther H635 ? and it shall be granted H5414 thee : and what H4100 IPRO is thy request H1246 ? and it shall be performed H6213 , even to H5704 PREP the half H2677 of the kingdom H4438 .
3 Then Esther H635 the queen H4436 answered H6030 and said H559 , If H518 PART I have found H4672 VQQ1MS favor H2580 NMS in thy sight H5869 , O king H4428 D-NMS , and if H518 PART it please H2895 the king H4428 D-NMS , let my life H5315 CFS-1MS be given H5414 me at my petition H7596 , and my people H5971 at my request H1246 :
4 For H3588 CONJ we are sold H4376 , I H589 PPRO-1MS and my people H5971 , to be destroyed H8045 , to be slain H2026 , and to perish H6 . But if H432 we had been sold H4376 for bondmen H5650 and bondwomen H8198 , I had held my tongue H2790 , although H3588 CONJ the enemy H6862 could not H369 NPAR countervail H7737 the king H4428 \'s damage H5143 .
5 Then the king H4428 D-NMS Ahasuerus H325 answered H559 W-VQY3MS and said H559 W-VQY3MS unto Esther H635 the queen H4436 , Who H4310 IPRO is he PPRO-3MS , and where H335 W-IPRO is he DPRO , that H834 RPRO durst presume H4390 in his heart H3820 CMS-3MS to do H6213 L-VQFC so H3651 ADV ?
6 And Esther H635 said H559 W-VQY3FS , The adversary H6862 AMS and enemy H341 is this H2088 D-PMS wicked H7451 D-AMS Haman H2001 . Then Haman H2001 was afraid H1204 before H6440 ML-CMP the king H4428 D-NMS and the queen H4436 .
7 And the king H4428 arising H6965 from the banquet H4960 of wine H3196 D-NMS in his wrath H2534 went into H413 PREP the palace H1055 garden H1594 : and Haman H2001 stood up H5975 to make request H1245 for H5921 PREP his life H5315 NMS-3MS to Esther H635 the queen H4436 ; for H3588 CONJ he saw H7200 VQQ3MS that H3588 CONJ there was evil H7451 D-AFS determined H3615 against H413 PREP-3MS him by the king H4428 .

As the word H1697 D-NMS went out H3318 VQQ3MS of the king\'s mouth H6310 M-CMS , they covered H2645 Haman H2001 \'s face H6440 W-CMP .
9 And Harbonah H2726 , one H259 MMS of H4480 PREP the chamberlains H5631 , said H559 W-VQY3MS before H6440 L-CMP the king H4428 D-NMS , Behold H2009 IJEC also H1571 CONJ , the gallows H6086 AMS fifty H2572 MMP cubits H520 UFS high H1364 AMS , which H834 RPRO Haman H2001 had made H6213 VQQ3MS for Mordecai H4782 , who H834 RPRO had spoken H1696 VPQ3MS good H2896 AMS for H5921 PREP the king H4428 D-NMS , standeth H5975 in the house H1004 B-CMS of Haman H2001 .
