1 ف َذَهَبَ المَلِكُ وَهامانُ إلَى الوَلِيمَةِ التِي أعَدَّتها المَلِكَةُ أسْتِيرُ.

So the king and Haman came to banquet with Esther the queen.

2 و َفِي اليَومِ التّالِي، سَألَ المَلِكُ أسْتِيرَ ثانِيَةً كَما فَعَلَ فِي اليَومِ الأوَّلِ للوَلِيمَةِ: «ما هِيَ أُمنِيَتُكِ أيَّتُها المَلِكَةُ أسْتِيرُ؟ فَسَأُعطِيها لَكِ، وَما هِيَ طِلبَتُكِ؟ حَتَّى لَوْ طَلَبتِ نِصفَ مَملَكَتِي فَسَأُعطِيكِ ما تَطلُبِينَ.»

And the king said again unto Esther on the second day at the banquet of wine, What is thy petition, queen Esther? and it shall be granted thee: and what is thy request? even to the half of the kingdom it shall be performed.

3 ف َأجابَتِ المَلِكَةُ أسْتِيرُ: «إنْ رَضِيتَ أيُّها المَلِكُ وَاستَحسَنتَ الأمرَ، فَإنَّ أُمنِيَتِي أنْ تَترُكَنِي أعِيشُ، وَطِلبَتِي أنْ تَترُكَ شَعبِي يَعِيشُ.

Then Esther the queen answered and said, If I have found favor in thy sight, O king, and if it please the king, let my life be given me at my petition, and my people at my request:

4 ل َقَد تَمَّ بَيعِي أنا وَشَعبِيَ لِكَي نَهلِكَ وَنُقتَلَ وَنُبادَ. وَلَو تَمَّ بَيعُنا رِجالاً وَنِساءً كَعَبِيدٍ لَما قُلْتُ شَيئاً، فَمِثلُ هَذا الضَرَرِ لا يَستَحِقُّ إزعاجَ المَلِكِ.»

for we are sold, I and my people, to be destroyed, to be slain, and to perish. But if we had been sold for bondmen and bondwomen, I had held my peace, although the adversary could not have compensated for the king's damage.

5 ف َقالَ المَلِكُ أحَشْوِيرُوشَ للمَلِكَةِ أسْتِيرَ: «مَنْ هَذا الذِي يُفَكِرُ بِعَمَلِ شَيْءٍ كَهَذا؟ وَأينَ هُوَ؟»

Then spake the king Ahasuerus and said unto Esther the queen, Who is he, and where is he, that durst presume in his heart to do so?

6 أ جابَتْ أسْتِيرُ: «هَذا العَدُّوُّ الشِرِّيرُ هُوَ هامانُ.» فَارْتَعَدَ هامانُ أمامَ المَلِكِ وَالمَلِكَةِ.

And Esther said, An adversary and an enemy, even this wicked Haman. Then Haman was afraid before the king and the queen.

7 ف َقامَ المَلِكُ غاضِباً وَخَرَجَ إلَى الحَدِيقَةِ تارِكاً شَرابَهُ. فَوَقَفَ هامانُ يَتَوَسَّلُ إلَى المَلِكَةِ أسْتِيرَ لِكَي تُنْقِذَ حَياتَهُ، لأنَّهُ عَرَفَ أنَّ المَلِكَ سَيُعاقِبَهُ.

And the king arose in his wrath from the banquet of wine and went into the palace garden: and Haman stood up to make request for his life to Esther the queen; for he saw that there was evil determined against him by the king.

8 و َإذْ رَجِعَ المَلِكُ مِنَ الحَدِيقَةِ إلَى قاعَةِ الوَلِيمَةِ، وَجَدَ هامانَ مُنْطَرِحاً عَلَى الارِيكَةِ الَّتِي تَتَكِئُ عَلَيها أسْتِيرُ. فَقالَ المَلِكُ بِغَضَبٍ: «أيُهاجِمُ المَلِكَةَ فِي حَضرَتِي وَفِي بَيتِي؟» وَقَبلَ أنْ يُكْمِلَ المَلِكُ جُملَتَهُ، تَمَّ قَتلُ هاَمانَ.

Then the king returned out of the palace garden into the place of the banquet of wine; and Haman was fallen upon the couch whereon Esther was. Then said the king, Will he even force the queen before me in the house? As the word went out of the king's mouth, they covered Haman's face.

9 ف َقالَ أحَدُ خُدّامِ المَلِكِ وَاسْمُهُ حَرْبُونا: «أعَدَّ هامانُ عَمُوداً خَشَبِيّاً ارتِفاعُهُ خَمسُونَ ذِراعاً لِمُرْدَخايَ – الذِي نَبَّهَ المَلِكَ وَأنقَذَهُ. وَما يَزالُ ذَلِكَ العَمُودُ مَكانَهُ فِي بَيتِ هامانَ.» فَقالَ المَلِكُ: «عَلِّقُوا هامانَ عَلَيهِ.»

Then said Harbonah, one of the chamberlains that were before the king, Behold also, the gallows fifty cubits high, which Haman hath made for Mordecai, who spake good for the king, standeth in the house of Haman. And the king said, Hang him thereon.

10 ف َعَلَّقُوا هامانَ عَلَى العَمُودِ الخَشَبِيِّ الذِي أعَدَّهُ لِمُرْدَخايَ. وَهَكَذا هَدَأَ غَضَبُ المَلِكِ.

So they hanged Haman on the gallows that he had prepared for Mordecai. Then was the king's wrath pacified.
