斯7:1 王带着哈曼去赴王后以斯帖的筵席。
斯7:1 So the king and Haman came to take wine with Esther the queen.
斯7:2 在这第二次的酒席中，王又问以斯帖：“以斯帖啊，你要什么？我必赐给你；你求什么？就是一半江山，也必给你成全。”
斯7:2 And the king said to Esther again on the second day, while they were drinking, What is your prayer, Queen Esther? for it will be given to you; and what is your request? for it will be done, even to the half of my kingdom.
斯7:3 王后以斯帖回答，说：“我若是在你眼前蒙恩，王若是喜欢，我所要的，是要王把我的性命赐给我；我所求的，是求王把我的族人赐给我。
斯7:3 Then Esther the queen, answering, said, If I have your approval, O king, and if it is the king's pleasure, let my life be given to me in answer to my prayer, and my people at my request:
斯7:4 因为我和我的族人被人出卖，快要毁灭，被杀尽、灭绝了。我们若是只被卖为奴婢，我也必闭口不言，但王的损失是敌人不能补偿的。”
斯7:4 For we are given up, I and my people, to destruction and death and to be cut off. If we had been taken as men-servants and women-servants for a price, I would have said nothing, for our trouble is little in comparison with the king's loss.
斯7:5 亚哈随鲁王问王后以斯帖，说：“存心这样行的人是谁？他在哪里？”
斯7:5 Then King Ahasuerus said to Esther the queen, Who is he and where is he who has had this evil thought in his heart?
斯7:6 以斯帖回答：“这敌人和仇人，就是这恶人哈曼！”哈曼在王和王后面前立刻惊惶万分。
斯7:6 And Esther said, Our hater and attacker is this evil Haman. Then Haman was full of fear before the king and the queen.
斯7:7 于是王带着盛怒，从酒席间起来，到御园里去；哈曼却留下来求王后以斯帖救他一命，因为哈曼看出王已经决意要加罪与他。
斯7:7 And the king in his wrath got up from the feast and went into the garden: and Haman got to his feet to make a prayer for his life to Esther the queen: for he saw that the king's purpose was evil against him.
斯7:8 王从御园回到酒席那里；那时哈曼正伏在以斯帖所靠的榻上；于是王说：“他竟敢在宫里，当着我的面污辱王后吗？”这话一出王口，人就把哈曼的脸蒙住了。
斯7:8 Then the king came back from the garden into the room where they had been drinking; and Haman was stretched out on the seat where Esther was. Then the king said, Is he taking the queen by force before my eyes in my house? And while the words were on the king's lips, they put a cloth over Haman's face.
斯7:9 在王面前有一个太监哈波拿说：“还有，哈曼为那曾经说好话救王有功的末底改，立了一个二十二公尺高的木架，现在正立在哈曼的家里呢。”王说：“把哈曼挂在上面吧！”
斯7:9 Then Harbonah, one of the unsexed servants waiting before the king, said, See, the pillar fifty cubits high, which Haman made for Mordecai, who said a good word for the king, is still in its place in Haman's house. Then the king said, Put him to death by hanging him on it.
斯7:10 于是他们把哈曼挂在他为末底改预备的木架上；王的忿怒才渐渐止息。
斯7:10 So Haman was put to death by hanging him on the pillar he had made for Mordecai. Then the king's wrath became less.
