哈曼被处死
王带着哈曼来赴以斯帖王后的宴席。
So the king and Haman came to banquet with Esther the queen.
2第二天在宴席喝酒的时候，王又对以斯帖说：“以斯帖王后啊，你要什么，必赐给你；无论你求什么，就是国的一半也必给你。”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? and it shall be performed, even to the half of the kingdom.
3以斯帖王后回答说：“王啊，我若在你眼前蒙恩，王若以为好，我所要的，是王把我的性命赐给我；我所求的，是求我的本族。Then Esther the queen answered and said, If I have found favour 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因为我和我的本族被出卖了，要被剪除，杀戮，灭绝。我们若被卖为奴为婢，我就闭口不言；但我们的痛苦比起王的损失，算不得什么☛“但我们的痛苦...算不得什么”或译“但敌人所得的，抵不过王的损失”。。”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 tongue, although the enemy could not countervail the king's damage.
5亚哈随鲁王问以斯帖王后说：“擅敢起意如此行的是谁？这人在哪里呢？”Then the king Ahasuerus answered and said unto Esther the queen, Who is he, and where is he, that durst presume in his heart to do so?
6以斯帖说：“仇人敌人就是这恶人哈曼！”哈曼在王和王后面前非常惊惶。And Esther said, The adversary and enemy is this wicked Haman. Then Haman was afraid before the king and the queen.
7王大怒，起来离开酒席往御花园去了。哈曼见王定意要加罪于他，就留下来求以斯帖王后救他的命。And the king arising from the banquet of wine in his wrath 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王从御花园回到酒席厅，见哈曼伏在以斯帖所靠的榻上；王说：“他竟敢在宫内、在我面前凌辱王后吗？”这话一出王口，哈曼的脸就被蒙住了。Then the king returned out of the palace garden into the place of the banquet of wine; and Haman was fallen upon the bed whereon Esther was. Then said the king, Will he force the queen also before me in the house? As the word went out of the king's mouth, they covered Haman's face.
9有一个伺候王名叫哈波拿的太监说：“看哪，哈曼还为那报告给王、救王有功的末底改做了一个五十肘高的木架，现今立在哈曼的家里。”王说：“把哈曼挂在木架上。”And Harbonah, one of the chamberlains, said before the king, Behold also, the gallows fifty cubits high, which Haman had made for Mordecai, who had spoken good for the king, standeth in the house of Haman. Then the king said, Hang him thereon.
10于是哈曼被挂在他为末底改所预备的木架上；王的愤怒才平息了。So they hanged Haman on the gallows that he had prepared for Mordecai. Then was the king's wrath pacified.
