- 在酒席筵前,王又问以斯帖说,你要什么,我必赐给你。你求什么,就是国的一半也必为你成就。
- 以斯帖回答说,我有所要,我有所求。
- 我若在王眼前蒙恩,王若愿意赐我所要的,准我所求的,就请王带着哈曼,再赴我所要预备的筵席。明日我必照王所问的说明。
- 那日哈曼心中快乐,欢欢喜喜地出来。但见末底改在朝门不站起来,连身也不动,就满心恼怒末底改。
- 哈曼暂且忍耐回家,叫人请他朋友和他妻子细利斯来。

- As they drank their wine at the banquet, the king said to Esther, "What is your petition, for it shall be granted to you. And what is your request? Even to half of the kingdom it shall be done."
- So Esther replied, "My petition and my request is:
- if I have found favor in the sight of the king, and if it pleases the king to grant my petition and do what I request, may the king and Haman come to the banquet which I will prepare for them, and tomorrow I will do as the king says."
- Then Haman went out that day glad and pleased of heart; but when Haman saw Mordecai in the king's gate and that he did not stand up or tremble before him, Haman was filled with anger against Mordecai.
- Haman controlled himself, however, went to his house and sent for his friends and his wife Zeresh.
