καὶ ἐγενήθη ἐν τῇ ἡμέρᾳ τῇ τρίτῃ ὡς ἐπαύσατο προσευχομένη ἐξεδύσατο τὰ ἱμάτια τῆς θεραπείας καὶ περιεβάλετο τὴν δόξαν αὐτῆς
And it came to pass on the third day, when she ceased praying, she put off the garments of her service and put on her glory.

And lifting up the golden rod, he placed it upon her neck and greeted her and said, Speak to me
καὶ εἶπεν ὁ βασιλεύς τί θέλεις Εσθηρ καὶ τί σού ἐστιν τὸ ἀξίωμα ἕως τοῦ ἡμίσους τῆς βασιλείας μου καὶ ἔσται σοι
And the king said, What do you want, Esther, and what is your request? up to half of my kingdom, and it shall be for you.
εἶπεν δὲ Εσθηρ ἡμέρα μου ἐπίσημος σήμερόν ἐστιν εἰ οὖν δοκεῖ τῷ βασιλεῖ ἐλθάτω καὶ αὐτὸς καὶ Αμαν εἰς τὴν δοχήν ἣν ποιήσω σήμερον
And Esther said, My day is a special day today; if therefore it seems good to the king, let him also and Haman come into the banquet that I will make today.
καὶ εἶπεν ὁ βασιλεύς κατασπεύσατε Αμαν ὅπως ποιήσωμεν τὸν λόγον Εσθηρ καὶ παραγίνονται ἀμφότεροι εἰς τὴν δοχήν ἣν εἶπεν Εσθηρ
And the king said, Bring Haman quickly, so that we may do the word of Esther. And both come into the banquet that Esther said.
And at the drinking the king said to Esther, What is it, Queen Esther, and it shall be for you whatever you ask.
And he said, My request and my petition.
εἰ εὗρον χάριν ἐνώπιον τοῦ βασιλέως ἐλθάτω ὁ βασιλεὺς καὶ Αμαν ἐπὶ τὴν αὔριον εἰς τὴν δοχήν ἣν ποιήσω αὐτοῖς καὶ αὔριον ποιήσω τὰ αὐτά
If I have found favor before the king, let the king and Haman come tomorrow to the banquet which I will make for them, and tomorrow I will do the same things
καὶ ἐξῆλθεν ὁ Αμαν ἀπὸ τοῦ βασιλέως ὑπερχαρὴς εὐφραινόμενος ἐν δὲ τῷ ἰδεῖν Αμαν Μαρδοχαῖον τὸν Ιουδαῖον ἐν τῇ αὐλῇ ἐθυμώθη σφόδρα
And Haman went out from the king overjoyed, rejoicing; but when Haman saw Mordecai the Jew in the courtyard, he was exceedingly angered.
And entering into his own things, he called his friends and Zosara his wife
καὶ ὑπέδειξεν αὐτοῖς τὸν πλοῦτον αὐτοῦ καὶ τὴν δόξαν ἣν ὁ βασιλεὺς αὐτῷ περιέθηκεν καὶ ὡς ἐποίησεν αὐτὸν πρωτεύειν καὶ ἡγεῖσθαι τῆς βασιλείας
And he showed them his wealth and the glory with which the king had clothed him, and how he had made him first and to govern the kingdom.
καὶ εἶπεν Αμαν οὐ κέκληκεν ἡ βασίλισσα μετὰ τοῦ βασιλέως οὐδένα εἰς τὴν δοχὴν ἀλλ᾿ ἢ ἐμέ καὶ εἰς τὴν αὔριον κέκλημαι
And Haman said, The queen has not called anyone with the king to the banquet except me, and for tomorrow I am invited.
and these things do not please me when I see Mordecai the Jew in the court
καὶ εἶπεν πρὸς αὐτὸν Ζωσαρα ἡ γυνὴ αὐτοῦ καὶ οἱ φίλοι κοπήτω σοι ξύλον πηχῶν πεντήκοντα ὄρθρου δὲ εἰπὸν τῷ βασιλεῖ καὶ κρεμασθήτω Μαρδοχαῖος ἐπὶ τοῦ ξύλου σὺ δὲ εἴσελθε εἰς τὴν δοχὴν σὺν τῷ βασιλεῖ καὶ εὐφραίνου καὶ ἤρεσεν τὸ ῥῆμα τῷ Αμαν καὶ ἡτοιμάσθη τὸ ξύλον
And Zosara his wife and the friends said to him, Let a tree of fifty cubits be cut for you, and in the morning say to the king, and let Mordecai be hanged on the tree; but you, go into the feast with the king and be merry. And the word pleased Haman, and the tree was prepared.
