1. तीसरे दिन एस्तेर अपने राजकीय वस्त्रा पहिनकर राजभवन के भीतरी आंगन में जाकर, राजभवन के साम्हने खड़ी हो गई। राजा तो राजभवन में राजगद्दी पर भवन के द्वार के साम्हने विराजमान था;

1. And on the third day it came to passe, that Esther put on her royall apparell, and stoode in the court of the kinges palace within, ouer against ye kinges house: and the king sat vpon his royall seate in the kinges palace ouer against the gate of the house. (15:1) Mardocheus also bade Hester go in vnto the kyng, and pray for her people, and for her countrey. (15:2) Remember (saith he) the dayes of thy lowe estate, how thou wast nourished vnder my hande: For Aman whiche is next vnto the kyng, hath geuen sentence of death against vs: (15:3) Call thou therefore vpon the Lorde, and speake for vs vnto the king, and deliuer vs from death. (15:4) And vpon the thirde day it happened that Hester layde away the mourning garmentes, and put on her glorious apparell, (15:5) And deckt her selfe goodly (after that she had called vpon God, whiche is the beholder and sauiour of all thinges) [and] toke two maydens with her: (15:6) Upon the one she leaned her selfe, as one that was tender: (15:7) The other folowed her, and bare the trayne of her vesture. (15:8) The shine of her beautie made her face rose coloured, the similitude of her face was chearefull and amiable: but her heart was sorowfull for great feare. (15:9) She went in thorowe all the doores, and stoode before the kyng: The kyng sate vpon the trone of his kyngdome, and was clothed in his goodly aray, all shining with golde, and set with precious stones, and he was very terrible.

2. और जब राजा ने एस्तेर रानी को आंगन में खड़ी हुइ्रर् देखा, तब उस से प्रसन्न होकर सोने का राजदणड जो उसके हाथ में था उसकी ओर बढ़ाया। तब एस्तेर ने निकट जाकर राजदणड की लोक छुई।

2. And when the king sawe Esther the queene standing in the court, she founde grace in his sight: And the king held out the golden scepter that was in his hand: So Esther stept foorth and touched the top of the scepter. (15:10) He lyft vp his face that shone in the clearnesse, and looked grimly vpon her: Then fel the Queene downe, was pale and faynte, leaned her selfe vpon the head of the mayde that went with her. (15:11) Neuerthelesse, God turned the kinges minde that he was gentle, that he leaped out of his seate for feare, and gate her in his armes, and helde her vp tyll she came to her self againe, he gaue her louing wordes also, and said vnto her: (15:12) Hester, what is the matter? I am thy brother, be of good cheare: (15:13) Thou shalt not die, for our commaundement toucheth the commons, and not thee: Come nye. (15:14) And with that he helde vp his golden rodde, and layde it vpon her necke. (15:15) And imbraced her frendly, and sayd: Talke with me. (15:16) Then sayde she: I sawe thee (O Lorde) as an angell of God, and my heart was troubled for feare of thy maiestie and clearnesse. (15:17) For excellent and wonderfull art thou O Lorde, and thy face is full of amitie. (15:18) But as she was thus speaking vnto hym, she fell downe agayne for fayntnesse: (15:19) For the whiche cause the kyng was afraide, and all his seruauntes comforted her.

3. तब राजा ने उस से पूछा, हे एसतेर रानी, तुझे क्या चाहिये? और तू क्य मांगती है? मांग और तुझे आधा राज्य तक दिया जाएगा।
मरकुस 6:23

3. Then saide the king vnto her: What wylt thou queene Esther? and what requirest thou? [aske] euen the halfe of the empire, and it shalbe geuen thee.

4. एस्तेर ने कहा, यदि राजा को स्वीकार हो, तो आज हामान को साथ लेकर उस जेवनार में आए, जो मैं ने राजा के लिये तैयार की है।

4. And Esther aunswered: If it please the king, let the king and Haman come this day vnto the banket that I haue prepared for him.

5. तब राजा ने आज्ञा दी कि हामान को तुरन्त ले आओ, कि एस्तेर का निमंत्राण ग्रहण किया जाए। सो राजा और हामान एस्तेर की तैयार की हुई जेवनार में आए।

5. And the king saide: Cause Haman to make haste, that he may do as Esther hath saide. So the king and Haman came to the banket that Esther had prepared.

6. जेवनार के समय जब दाखमधु पिया जाता था, तब राजा ने एस्तेर से कहा, तेरा क्या निवेदन है? वह पूरा किया जाएगा। और तू क्या मांगती है? मांग, ओर आधा राज्य तक तुझे दिया जाएगा।
मरकुस 6:23

6. And the king saide vnto Esther at the banket of wine: What is thy petition, that it may be geuen thee? And what requirest thou? If it be euen the halfe of the empire, it shall be done.

7. एस्तेर ने उत्तर दिया, मेरा निवेदन और जो मैं मांगती हूँ वह यह है,

7. Then aunswered Esther, and said: My petition and desire is,

8. कि यदि राजा मुझ पर प्रसन्न है और मेरा निवेदन सुनना और जो वरदान मैं मांगूं वही देना राजा को स्वीकार हो, तो राजा और हामान कल उस जेवनार में आएं जिसे मैं उनके लिये करूंगी, और कल मैं राजा के इस वचन के अनुसार करूंगी।

8. If I haue founde grace in the sight of the king, and if it please the king to geue me my petition, and to fulfil my request, then let the king and Haman come to the banket that I shall prepare for the: and so wyl I do to morowe, as the king hath saide.

9. उस दिन हामान आनन्दित ओर मन में प्रसन्न होकर बाहर गया। परन्तु जब उस ने मोर्दकै को राजभवन के फाटक में देखा, कि वह उसके साम्हने न तो खड़ा हुआ, और न हटा, तब वह मोर्दकै के विरूद्ध क्रोध से भर गया।

9. Then went Haman foorth the same day ioyfull and mery in his minde: But when the same Haman sawe Mardocheus in the kinges gate, that he stoode not vp nor moued for him, he was ful of indignation at Mardocheus.

10. तौभी वह अपने को रोककर अपने घर गया; और अपने मित्रों और अपनी स्त्री जेरेश को बुलवा भेजा।

10. Neuerthelesse, Haman refrained him selfe, and when he came home he sent and called for his friendes and Zares his wyfe.

11. तब हामान ने, उन से अपने धन का विभव, और अपने लड़के- बालों की बढ़ती और राजा ने उसको कैसे कैसे बढ़ाया, और और सब हाकिमों और अपने और सब कर्मचारियों से ऊंचा पद दिया था, इन सब का वर्णन किया।

11. And Haman tolde them of the glory of his riches, and the multitude of his children, and all the thinges wherein the king had promoted him so greatly, and how that he had set him aboue the princes and seruauntes of the king.

12. हामान ने यह भी कहा, कि एस्तेर रानी ने भी मुझे छोड़ और किसी को राजा के संग, अपनी की हुई जेवनार में आने न दिया; और कल के लिये भी राजा के संग उस ने मुझी को नेवता दिया है।

12. Haman saide moreouer: Yea, Esther the queene did let no man come in with the king vnto the bancket that she had prepared, except me: and to morowe am I bidden vnto her also with the king.

13. तौभी जब जब मुझे वह यहूदी मोर्दकै राजभवन के फाटक में बैठा हुआ दिखाई पड़ता है, तब तब यह सब मेरी दृष्टि में व्यर्थ है।

13. But in all this am I not satisfied, as long as I see Mardocheus the Iewe sitting at the kinges gate.

14. उसकी पत्नी जेरेश और उसके सब मित्रों ने उस से कहा, पचास हाथ ऊंचा फांसी का एक खम्भा, बनाया जाए, और बिहान को राजा से कहना, कि उस पर मोर्दकै लटका दिया जाए; तब राजा के संग आनन्द से जेवनार में जाना। इस बात से प्रसन्न होकर हामान ने बैसा ही फांसी का एक खम्भा बनवाया।

14. Then saide Zares his wyfe and all his friendes vnto him: Let them make a galous of fiftie cubites hie, and to morowe speake thou vnto the king that Mardocheus may be hanged thereon: then go thou in meryly with the king vnto the banket. And Haman was well content withall, and caused the galous to be made.
