Esther

And after this king Artaxerxes highly honoured Aman [son] of Amadathes, the Bugæan, and exalted him, and set his seat above all his friends.

Greek · SeptuagintΜετὰ δὲ ταῦτα ἐδόξασεν ὁ βασιλεὺς Ἀρταξέρξης Ἀμὰν Ἀμαδαθοῦ Βουγαῖον, καὶ ὕψωσεν αὐτὸν, καὶ ἐπρωτοβάθρει πάντων τῶν φίλων αὐτοῦ,

LXX Esther 3:2

And all in the palace did him obeisance, for so the king had given orders to do: but Mardochæus did not do him obeisance.

Greek · Septuagintκαὶ πάντες οἱ ἐν τῇ αὐλῇ προσεκύνουν αὐτῷ· οὕτως γὰρ προσέταξεν ὁ βασιλεὺς ποιῆσαι· ὁ δὲ Μαρδοχαῖος οὐ προσεκύνει αὐτῷ.

LXX Esther 3:3

And they in the king's palace said to Mardochæus, Mardochæus, why dost thou transgress the commands of the king?

Greek · SeptuagintΚαὶ ἐλάλησαν οἱ ἐν τῇ αὐλῇ τοῦ βασιλέως τῷ Μαρδοχαίῳ, Μαρδοχαῖε, τί παρακούεις τὰ ὑπὸ τοῦ βασιλέως λεγόμενα;

LXX Esther 3:4

[Thus] they spoke daily to him, but he hearkened not unto them; so they represented to Aman that Mardochæus resisted the commands of the king: and Mardochæus had shewn to them that he was a Jew.

Greek · SeptuagintΚαθʼ ἑκάστην ἡμέραν ἐλάλουν αὐτῷ, καὶ οὐχ ὑπήκουεν αὐτῶν· καὶ ὑπέδειξαν τῷ Ἀμὰν, Μαρδοχαῖον τοῖς τοῦ βασιλέως λόγοις ἀντιτασσόμενον, καὶ ὑπέδειξεν αὐτοῖς ὁ Μαρδοχαῖος ὅτι Ἰουδαῖός ἐστι.

LXX Esther 3:5

And when Aman understood that Mardochæus did not obeisance to him, he was greatly enraged,

Greek · SeptuagintΚαὶ ἐπιγνοὺς Ἀμὰν ὅτι οὐ προσκυνεῖ αὐτῷ Μαρδοχαῖος, ἐθυμώθη σφόδρα,

LXX Esther 3:6

and took counsel to destroy utterly all the Jews who were under the rule of Artaxerxes.

Greek · SeptuagintΚαὶ ἐβουλεύσατο ἀφανίσαι πάντας τοὺς ὑπὸ τὴν Ἀρταξέρξου βασιλείαν Ἰουδαίους.

LXX Esther 3:7

And he made a decree in the twelfth year of the reign of Artaxerxes, and cast lots daily and monthly, to slay in one day the race of Mardochæus: and the lot fell on the fourteenth [day] of the month which is Adar.

Greek · SeptuagintΚαὶ ἐποίησε ψήφισμα ἐν ἔτει δωδεκάτῳ τῆς βασιλείας Ἀρταξέρξου, καὶ ἔβαλε κλήρους ἡμέραν ἐξ ἡμέρας, καὶ μῆνα ἐκ μηνὸς, ὥστε ἀπολέσαι ἐν μιᾷ ἡμέρᾳ τὸ γένος Μαρδοχαίου· καὶ ἔπεσεν ὁ κλῆρος εἰς τὴν τεσσαρεσκαιδεκάτην τοῦ μηνὸς ὅς ἐστιν Ἀδάρ.

LXX Esther 3:8

And he spoke to king Artaxerxes, saying, There is a nation scattered among the nations in all thy kingdom, and their laws differ from [those of] all the [other] nations; and they disobey the laws of the king; and it is not expedient for the king to let them alone.

Greek · SeptuagintΚαὶ ἐλάλησε πρὸς τὸν βασιλέα Ἀρταξέρξην, λέγων, ὑπάρχει ἔθνος διεσπαρμένον ἐν τοῖς ἔθνεσιν ἐν πάσῃ τῇ βασιλείᾳ σου, οἱ δὲ νόμοι αὐτῶν ἔξαλλοι παρὰ πάντα τὰ ἔθνη, τῶν δὲ νόμων τοῦ βασιλέως παρακούουσι, καὶ οὐ συμφέρει τῷ βασιλεῖ ἐᾶσαι αὐτούς.

LXX Esther 3:9

If it seem good to the king, let him make a decree to destroy them: and I will remit into the king's treasury ten thousand talents of silver.

Greek · SeptuagintΕἰ δοκεῖ τῷ βασιλεῖ, δογματισάτω ἀπολέσαι αὐτοὺς, κᾀγὼ διαγράψω εἰς τὸ γαζοφυλάκιον τοῦ βασιλέως ἀργυρίου τάλαντα μύρια.

LXX Esther 3:10

And the king took off his ring, and gave it into the hands of Aman, to seal the decrees against the Jews.

Greek · SeptuagintΚαὶ περιελόμενος ὁ βασιλεὺς τὸν δακτύλιον, ἔδωκεν εἰς χεῖρας τῷ Ἀμὰν, σφραγίσαι κατὰ τῶν γεγραμμένων κατὰ τῶν Ἰουδαίων.

LXX Esther 3:11

And the king said to Aman, Keep the silver, and treat the nation as thou wilt.

Greek · SeptuagintΚαὶ εἶπεν ὁ βασιλεὺς τῷ Ἀμὰν, τὸ μὲν ἀργύριον ἔχε, τῷ δὲ ἔθνει χρῶ ὡς βούλει.

LXX Esther 3:12

So the king's recorders were called in the first month, on the thirteenth [day], and they wrote as Aman commanded to the captains and governors in every province, from India even to Ethiopia, to a hundred and twenty-seven provinces; and to the rulers of the nations according to their [several] languages, in the name of king Artaxerxes.

Greek · SeptuagintΚαὶ ἐκλήθησαν οἱ γραμματεῖς τοῦ βασιλέως μηνὶ πρώτῳ τῇ τρισκαιδεκάτῃ, καὶ ἔγραψαν ὡς ἐπέταξεν Ἀμὰν τοῖς στρατηγοῖς καὶ τοῖς ἄρχουσι κατὰ πᾶσαν χώραν ἀπὸ Ἰνδικῆς ἕως τῆς Αἰθιοπίας, ταῖς ἑκατὸν εἰκοσιεπτὰ χώραις, τοῖς τε ἄρχουσι τῶν ἐθνῶν κατὰ τὴν αὐτῶν λέξιν, διὰ Ἀρταξέρξου τοῦ βασιλέως.

LXX Esther 3:13

And [the message] was sent by posts throughout the kingdom of Artaxerxes, to destroy utterly the race of the Jews on the first day of the twelfth month, which is Adar, and to plunder their goods.

Greek · SeptuagintΚαὶ ἀπεστάλη διὰ βιβλιοφόρων εἰς τὴν Ἀρταξέρξου βασιλείαν, ἀφανίσαι τὸ γένος τῶν Ἰουδαίων ἐν ἡμέρᾳ μιᾷ μηνὸς δωδεκάτου, ὅς ἐστιν Ἀδὰρ, καὶ διαρπάσαι τὰ ὑπάρχοντα αὐτῶν.

LXX Esther 3:14

And the copies of the letters were published in every province; and an order was given to all the nations to be ready against that day.

Greek · SeptuagintΤὰ δὲ ἀντίγραφα τῶν ἐπιστολῶν ἐξετίθετο κατὰ χώραν· καὶ προσετάγη πᾶσι τοῖς ἔθνεσιν ἑτοίμους εἶναι εἰς τὴν ἡμέραν ταύτην.

LXX Esther 3:15

And the business was hastened, and [that] at Susa: and the king and Aman began to drink; but the city was troubled.

Greek · SeptuagintἘσπεύδετο δὲ τὸ πρᾶγμα, καὶ εἰς Σοῦσαν· ὁ δὲ βασιλεὺς καὶ Ἀμὰν ἐκωθωνίζοντο· ἐταράσσετο δὲ ἡ πόλις.

LXX Esther 4:1

But Mardochæus having perceived what was done, rent his garments, and put on sackcloth, and sprinkled dust upon himself; and having rushed forth through the open street of the city, he cried with a loud voice, A nation that has done no wrong is going to be destroyed.

Greek · SeptuagintὉ δὲ Μαρδοχαῖος ἐπιγνοὺς τὸ συντελούμενον, διέῤῥηξε τὰ ἱμάτια ἑαυτοῦ, καὶ ἐνεδύσατο σάκκον, καὶ κατεπάσατο σποδόν· καὶ ἐκπηδήσας διὰ τῆς πλατείας τῆς πόλεως, ἐβόα φωνῇ μεγάλῃ, αἴρεται ἔθνος μηδὲν ἠδικηκός.

LXX Esther 4:2

And he came to the king's gate, and stood; for it was not lawful for him to enter into the palace, wearing sackcloth and ashes.

Greek · SeptuagintΚαὶ ἦλθεν ἕως τῆς πύλης τοῦ βασιλέως, καὶ ἔστη· οὐ γὰρ ἦν αὐτῷ ἐξὸν εἰσελθεῖν εἰς τὴν αὐλὴν, σάκκον ἔχοντι καὶ σποδόν.

LXX Esther 4:3

And in every province where the letters were published, [there was] crying and lamentation and great mourning on the part of the Jews: they spread for themselves sackcloth and ashes.

Greek · SeptuagintΚαὶ ἐν πάσῃ χώρᾳ οὗ ἐξετίθετο τὰ γράμματα, κραυγὴ καὶ κοπετὸς καὶ πένθος μέγα τοῖς Ἰουδαίοις, σάκκον καὶ σποδὸν ἔστρωσαν ἑαυτοῖς.

LXX Esther 4:4

And the queen's maids and chamberlains went in and told her: and when she had heard what was done, she was disturbed; and she sent to clothe Mardochæus, and take away his sackcloth; but he consented not.

Greek · SeptuagintΚαὶ εἰσῆλθον αἱ ἅβραι καὶ οἱ εὐνοῦχοι τῆς βασιλίσσης, καὶ ἀνήγγειλαν αὐτῇ· καὶ ἐταράχθη ἀκούσασα τὸ γεγονός· καὶ ἀπέστειλε στολίσαι τὸν Μαρδοχαῖον, καὶ ἀφελέσθαι αὐτοῦ τὸν σάκκον· ὁ δὲ οὐκ ἐπείσθη.

LXX Esther 4:5

So Esther called for her chamberlain Achrathæus, who waited upon her; and she sent to learn the truth from Mardochæus.

Greek · SeptuagintἩ δὲ Ἐσθὴρ προσεκαλέσατο Ἀχραθαῖον τὸν εὐνοῦχον αὐτῆς, ὃς παρειστήκει αὐτῇ, καὶ ἀπέστειλε μαθεῖν αὕτη παρὰ τοῦ Μαρδοχαίου τὸ ἀκριβές.

LXX Esther 4:7

And Mardochæus shewed him what was done, and the promise which Aman had made the king of ten thousand talents [to be paid] into the treasury, that he might destroy the Jews.

Greek · SeptuagintὉ δὲ Μαρδοχαῖος ὑπέδειξεν αὐτῷ τὸ γεγονὸς, καὶ τὴν ἐπαγγελίαν ἣν ἐπηγγείλατο Ἀμὰν τῷ βασιλεῖ εἰς τὴν γάζαν ταλάντων μυρίων, ἵνα ἀπολέσῃ τοὺς Ἰουδαίους.

LXX Esther 4:8

And he gave him the copy [of the writing] that was published in Susa concerning their destruction, to shew to Esther; and told him to charge her to go in and intreat the king, and to beg him for the people, remembering, [said he], the days of thy low estate, how thou wert nursed by my hand: because Aman who holds the next place to the king has spoken against us for death. Do thou call upon the Lord, and speak to the king concerning us, to deliver us from death.

Greek · Septuagintκαὶ τὸ ἀντίγραφον τὸ ἐν Σούσοις ἐκτεθὲν ὑπὲρ τοῦ ἀπολέσθαι αὐτοὺς, ἔδωκεν αὐτῷ δεῖξαι τῇ Ἐσθήρ· καὶ εἶπεν αὐτῷ, ἐντείλασθαι αὐτῇ εἰσελθούσῃ παραιτήσασθαι τὸν βασιλέα, καὶ ἀξιῶσαι αὐτὸν περὶ τοῦ λαοῦ, μνησθεῖσα ἡμερῶν ταπεινώσεώς σου, ὡς ἐτράφης ἐν χειρί μου, διότι Ἀμὰν ὁ δευτερεύων τῷ βασιλεῖ ἐλάλησεν καθʼ ἡμῶν εἰς θάνατον· ἐπικάλεσαι τὸν Κύριον, καὶ λάλησον τῷ βασιλεῖ περὶ ἡμῶν, ῥύσαι ἡμᾶς ἐκ θανάτου.

LXX Esther 4:9

So Achrathæus went in and told her all these words.

Greek · SeptuagintΕἰσελθὼν δὲ ὁ Ἀχραθαῖος ἐλάλσεν αὐτῇ πάντας τοὺς λόγους τούτους.

LXX Esther 4:10

And Esther said to Achrathæus, Go to Mardochæus, and say,

Greek · SeptuagintΕἶπεν δὲ Ἐσθὴρ πρὸς Ἀχραθαῖον, πορεύθητι πρὸς Μαρδοχαῖον, καὶ εἶπον,

LXX Esther 4:11

All the nations of the empire know, that whoever, man or woman, shall go in to the king into the inner court uncalled, that person cannot live: only to whomsoever the king shall stretch out [his] golden sceptre, he shall live: and I have not been called to go in to the king, for these thirty days.

Greek · Septuagintὅτι τὰ ἔθνη πάντα τῆς βασιλείας γινώσκει ὅτι πᾶς ἄνθρωπος ἢ γυνὴ ὃς εἰσελεύσεται πρὸς τὸν βασιλέα εἰς τὴν αὐλὴν τὴν ἐσωτέραν ἄκλητος, οὐκ ἔστιν αὐτῷ σωτηρία· πλὴν ᾧ ἐκτείνῃ ὁ βασιλεὺς τὴν χρυσῆν ῥάβδον, οὗτος σωθήσεται· κᾀγὼ οὐ κέκλημαι εἰσελθεῖν πρὸς τὸν βασιλέα, εἰσὶν αὗται ἡμέραι τριάκοντα.

LXX Esther 4:12

And Achrathæus reported to Mardochæus all the words of Esther.

Greek · SeptuagintΚαὶ ἀπήγγειλεν Ἀχραθαῖος Μαρδοχαίῳ πάντας τοὺς λόγους Ἐσθήρ.

LXX Esther 4:13

Then Mardochæus said to Achrathæus, Go, and say to her, Esther, say not to thyself that thou alone wilt escape in the kingdom, more than all the [other] Jews.

Greek · SeptuagintΚαὶ εἶπε Μαρδοχαῖος πρὸς Ἀχραθαῖον, πορεύθητι, καὶ εἰπὸν αὐτῇ, Ἐσθήρ, μὴ εἴπῃς σεαυτῇ, ὅτι σωθήσῃ μόνη ἐν τῇ βασιλείᾳ παρὰ πάντας τοὺς Ἰουδαίους·

LXX Esther 4:14

For if thou shalt refuse to hearken on this occasion, help and protection will be to the Jews from another quarter; but thou and thy father's house will perish: and who knows, if thou hast been made queen for this [very] occasion?

Greek · SeptuagintὩς ὅτι ἐὰν παρακούσῃς ἐν τούτῳ τῷ καιρῷ, ἄλλοθεν βοήθεια καὶ σκέπη ἔσται τοῖς Ἰουδαίοις· σὺ δὲ καὶ ὁ οἶκος τοῦ πατρός σου ἀπολεῖσθε· καὶ τίς εἶδεν, εἰ εἰς τὸν καιρὸν τοῦτον ἐβασίλευσας;

LXX Esther 4:15

And Esther sent the [man] that came to her to Mardochæus, saying,

Greek · Septuagintκαὶ ἐξαπέστειλεν Ἐσθὴρ τὸν ἥκοντα πρὸς αὐτὴν, πρὸς Μαρδοχαῖον, λέγουσα,

LXX Esther 4:16

Go and assemble the Jews that are in Susa, and fast ye for me, and eat not and drink not for three days, night and day: and I also and my maidens will fast; and then I will go in to the king contrary to the law, even if I must die.

Greek · Septuagintβαδίσας ἐκκλησίασον τοὺς Ἰουδαίους τοὺς ἐν Σούσοις, καὶ νηστεύσατε ἐπʼ ἐμοὶ, καὶ μὴ φάγητε μηδὲ πίητε ἐπὶ ἡμέρας τρεῖς νύκτα καὶ ἡμέραν· κᾀγὼ δὲ καὶ αἱ ἅβραι μου ἀσιτήσομεν· καὶ τότε εἰσελεύσομαι πρὸς τὸν βασιλέα παρὰ τὸν νόμον, ἐὰν καὶ ἀπολέσθαι με δέῃ.

LXX Esther 4:17

So Mardochæus went and did all that Esther commanded him.

Greek · SeptuagintΚαὶ βαδίσας Μαρδοχαῖος ἐποίησεν ὅσα ἐνετείλατο αὐτῷ Ἐσθήρ·

LXX Esther 5:1

And it came to pass on the third day, when she had ceased praying, that she put off her mean dress, and put on her glorious apparel.

Greek · Septuagint“Καὶ ἐγενήθη ἐν τῇ ἡμέρᾳ τῇ τρίτῃ ὡς ἐπαύσατο προσευχομένη, ἐξεδύσατο τὰ ἱμάτια τῆς θεραπείας, καὶ περιεβάλλετο τὴν δόξαν αὐτῆς.

LXX Esther 5:2

And having raised the golden sceptre he laid it upon her neck, and embraced her, and said, Speak to me.

Greek · Septuagint“Καὶ ἄρας τὴν χρυσῆν ῥάβδον, ἐπέθηκεν ἐπὶ τὸν τράχηλον αὐτῆς, καὶ ἠσπάσατο αὐτὴν, καὶ εἶπε, λάλησόν μοι.

LXX Esther 5:3

And the king said, What wilt thou, Esther? and what is thy request? [ask] even to the half of my kingdom, and it shall be thine.

Greek · SeptuagintΚαὶ εἶπεν ὁ βασιλεύς, τί θέλεις, Ἐσθήρ; καὶ τί σου ἐστὶ τὸ ἀξίωμα; ἕως τοῦ ἡμίσους τῆς βασιλείας μου, καὶ ἔσται σοι.

LXX Esther 5:4

And Esther said, To-day is my great day: if then it seem good to the king, let both him and Aman come to the feast which I will prepare this day.

Greek · SeptuagintΕἶπε δὲ Ἐσθὴρ, ἡμέρα μου ἐπίσημος σήμερόν ἐστιν· εἰ οὖν δοκεῖ τῷ βασιλεῖ, ἐλθάτω καὶ αὐτὸς καὶ Ἀμὰν εἰς τὴν δοχὴν, ἣν ποιήσω σήμερον.

LXX Esther 5:5

And the king said, Hasten Aman hither, that we may perform the word of Esther. So they both come to the feast of which Esther had spoken.

Greek · SeptuagintΚαὶ εἶπεν ὁ βασιλεύς, κατασπεύσατε Ἀμὰν, ὅπως ποιήσωμεν τὸν λόγον Ἐσθήρ· καὶ παραγίνονται ἀμφότεροι εἰς τὴν δοχὴν, ἣν εἶπεν Ἐσθήρ.

LXX Esther 5:6

And at the banquet the king said to Esther, What is [thy request], queen Esther? [speak], and thou shalt have all that thou requirest.

Greek · SeptuagintἘν δὲ τῷ πότῳ εἶπεν ὁ βασιλεὺς πρὸς Ἐσθήρ, τί ἐστι βασίλισσα Ἐσθήρ; καὶ ἔσται ὅσα ἀξιοῖς.

LXX Esther 5:7

And she said, My request and my petition [are]:

Greek · SeptuagintΚαὶ εἶπε, τὸ αἴτημά μου, καὶ τὸ ἀξίωμα·

LXX Esther 5:8

if I have found favour in the sight of the king, let the king and Aman come again to-morrow to the feast which I shall prepare for them, and to-morrow I will do the same.

Greek · SeptuagintΕἰ εὗρον χάριν ἐνώπιον τοῦ βασιλέως, ἐλθάτω ὁ βασιλεὺς καὶ Ἀμὰν ἔτι τὴν αὔριον εἰς τὴν δοχὴν, ἣν ποιήσω αὐτοῖς, καὶ αὔριον ποιήσω τὰ αὐτά.

LXX Esther 5:9

So Aman went out from the king very glad [and] merry: but when Aman saw Mardochæus the Jew in the court, he was greatly enraged.

Greek · SeptuagintΚαὶ ἐξῆλθεν ὁ Ἀμὰν ἀπὸ τοῦ βασιλέως ὑπερχαρὴς εὐφραινόμενος· ἐν δὲ τῷ ἰδεῖν Ἀμὰν Μαρδοχαῖον τὸν Ἰουδαῖον ἐν τῇ αὐλῇ, ἐθυμώθη σφόδρα.

LXX Esther 5:10

And having gone into his own house, he called his friends, and his wife Zosara.

Greek · SeptuagintΚαὶ εἰσελθὼν εἰς τὰ ἴδια, ἐκάλεσε τοὺς φίλους, καὶ Ζωσάραν τὴν γυναῖκα αὐτοῦ,

LXX Esther 5:11

And he shewed them his wealth, and the glory with which the king had invested him, and how he had caused him to take precedence and bear chief rule in the kingdom.

Greek · Septuagintκαὶ ὑπέδειξεν αὐτοῖς τὸν πλοῦτον αὐτοῦ, καὶ τὴν δόξαν ἣν ὁ βασιλεὺς αὐτῷ περιέθηκε, καὶ ὡς ἐποίησεν αὐτὸν πρωτεύειν καὶ ἡγεῖσθαι τῆς βασιλείας.

LXX Esther 5:12

And Aman said, The queen has called no one to the feast with the king but me, and I am invited to-morrow.

Greek · SeptuagintΚαὶ εἶπεν Ἀμὰν, οὐ κέκληκεν ἡ βασίλισσα μετὰ τοῦ βασιλέως οὐδένα εἰς τὴν δοχὴν, ἀλλʼ ἢ ἐμὲ, καὶ εἰς τὴν αὔριον κέκλημαι.

LXX Esther 5:13

But these things please me not, while I see Mardochæus the Jew in the court.

Greek · SeptuagintΚαὶ ταῦτά μοι οὐκ ἀρέσκει, ὅταν ἴδω Μαρδοχαῖον τὸν Ἰουδαῖον ἐν τῇ αὐλῇ.

LXX Esther 5:14

And Zosara his wife and his friends said to him, Let there be a gallows made for thee of fifty cubits, and in the morning do thou speak to the king, and let Mardochæus be hanged on the gallows: but do thou go in to the feast with the king, and be merry. And the saying pleased Aman, and the gallows was prepared.

Greek · SeptuagintΚαὶ εἶπε πρὸς αὐτὸν Ζωσάρα ἡ γυνὴ αὐτοῦ, καὶ οἱ φίλοι, κοπήτω σοι ξύλον πηχῶν πεντήκοντα, ὄρθρου δὲ εἶπον τῷ βασιλεῖ, καὶ κρεμασθήτω Μαρδοχαῖος ἐπὶ τοῦ ξύλου· σὺ δὲ εἴσελθε εἰς τὴν δοχὴν σὺν τῷ βασιλεῖ, καὶ εὐφραίνου· καὶ ἤρεσε τὸ ῥῆμα τῷ Ἀμὰν, καὶ ἡτοιμάσθη τὸ ξύλον.

LXX Esther 6:1

But the Lord removed sleep from the king that night: and he told his servant to bring in the books, the registers of daily events, to read to him.

Greek · SeptuagintὉ δε Κύριος ἀπέστησε τὸν ὕπνον ἀπὸ τοὺ βασιλέως τὴν νύκτα ἐκείνην· καὶ εἶπε τῷ διακόνῳ αὐτοῦ εἰσφέρειν γράμματα μνημόσυνα τῶν ἡμερῶν ἀναγινώσκειν αὐτῷ.

LXX Esther 6:2

And he found the records written concerning Mardochæus, how he had told the king concerning the two chamberlains of the king, when they were keeping guard, and sought to lay hands on Artaxerxes.

Greek · SeptuagintΕὗρε δὲ τὰ γράμματα τὰ γραφέντα περὶ Μαρδοχαίου, ὡς ἀπήγγειλεν τῷ βασιλεῖ περὶ τῶν δύο εὐνούχων τοῦ βασιλέως ἐν τῷ φυλάσσειν αὐτοὺς, καὶ ζητῆσαι ἐπιβαλεῖν τὰς χεῖρας Ἀρταξέρξῃ.

LXX Esther 6:3

And the king said, What honour or favour have we done to Mardochæus? And the king's servants said, Thou hast not done anything to him.

Greek · SeptuagintΕἶπε δὲ ὁ βασιλεὺς, τίνα δόξαν ἢ χάριν ἐποιήσαμεν τῷ Μαρδοχαίῳ; καὶ εἶπαν οἱ διάκονοι τοῦ βασιλέως, οὐκ ἐποίησας αὐτῷ οὐδέν.

LXX Esther 6:4

And while the king was enquiring about the kindness of Mardochæus, behold, Aman [was] in the court. And the king said, Who [is] in the court? Now Aman was come in to speak to the king, that he should hang Mardochæus on the gallows, which he had prepared.

Greek · SeptuagintἘν δὲ τῷ πυνθάνεσθαι τὸν βασιλέα περὶ τῆς εὐνοίας Μαρδοχαίου, ἰδοὺ Ἀμὰν ἐν τῇ αὐλῇ· εἶπν δὲ ὁ βασιλεύς, τίς ἐν τῇ αὐλῇ; ὁ δὲ Ἀμὰν εἰσῆλθεν εἰπεῖν τῷ βασιλεῖ, κρεμάσαι τὸν Μαρδοχαῖον ἐπὶ τῷ ξύλῳ, ᾧ ἡτοίμασε.

LXX Esther 6:5

And the king's servants said, Behold, Aman stands in the court. And the king said, Call him.

Greek · SeptuagintΚαὶ εἶπαν οἱ διάκονοι τοῦ βασιλέως, ἰδοὺ Ἀμὰν ἕστηκεν ἐν τῇ αὐλῇ· καὶ εἶπεν ὁ βασιλεύς, καλέσατε αὐτόν.

LXX Esther 6:6

And the king said to Aman, What shall I do to the man whom I wish to honour? And Aman said within himself, Whom would the king honour but myself?

Greek · SeptuagintΕἶπε δὲ ὁ βασιλεὺς τῷ Ἀμὰν, τί ποιήσω τῷ ἀνθρώπῳ, ὃν ἐγὼ θέλω δοξάσαι; εἶπε δὲ ἐν ἑαυτῷ Ἀμάν, τίνα θέλει ὁ βασιλεὺς δοξάσαι εἰ μὴ ἐμέ;

LXX Esther 6:7

and he said to the king, As for the man whom the king wishes to honour,

Greek · SeptuagintΕἶπε δὲ πρὸς τὸν βασιλέα, ἄνθρωπον ὃν ὁ βασιλεὺς θέλει δοξάσαι,

LXX Esther 6:8

let the king's servants bring the robe of fine linen which the king puts on, and the horse on which the king rides,

Greek · Septuagintἐνεγκάτωσαν οἱ παῖδες τοῦ βασιλέως στολὴν βυσσίνην ἣν ὁ βασιλεὺς περιβάλλεται, καὶ ἵππον ἐφʼ ὃν ὁ βασιλεὺς ἐπιβαίνει,

LXX Esther 6:9

and let him give [it] to one of the king's noble friends, and let him array the man whom the king loves; and let him mount him on the horse, and proclaim through the street of the city, saying, Thus shall it be [done] to every man whom the king honours.

Greek · Septuagintκαὶ δότω ἑνὶ τῶν φίλων τοῦ βασιλέως τῶν ἐνδόξων, καὶ στολισάτω τὸν ἄνθρωπον, ὃν ὁ βασιλεὺς ἀγαπᾷ· καὶ ἀναβιβασάτω αὐτὸν ἐπὶ τὸν ἵππον, καὶ κηρυσσέτω διὰ τῆς πλατείας τῆς πόλεως, λέγων, οὕτως ἔσται παντὶ ἀνθρώπῳ ὃν ὁ βασιλεὺς δοξάζει.

LXX Esther 6:10

Then the king said to Aman, Thou hast well said: so do to Mardochæus the Jew, who waits in the palace, and let not a word of what thou hast spoken be neglected.

Greek · SeptuagintΕἶπε δὲ ὁ βασιλεὺς τῷ Ἀμὰν, καλῶς ἐλάλησας· οὕτως ποίησον τῷ Μαρδοχαίῳ τῷ Ἰουδαίῳ, τῷ θεραπεύοντι ἐν τῇ αὐλῇ, καὶ μὴ παραπεσάτω σου λόγος ὧν ἐλάλησας.

LXX Esther 6:11

So Aman took the robe and the horse, and arrayed Mardochæus, and mounted him on the horse, and went through the street of the city, and proclaimed, saying, Thus shall it be to every man whom the king wishes to honour.

Greek · SeptuagintἜλαβε δὲ Ἀμὰν τὴν στολὴν καὶ τὸν ἵππον, καὶ ἐστόλισε τὸν Μαρδοχαῖον, καὶ ἀνεβίβασεν αὐτὸν ἐπὶ τὸν ἵππον, καὶ διῆλθε διὰ τῆς πλατείας τῆς πόλεως, καὶ ἐκήρυσσε λέγων, οὕτως ἔσται παντὶ ἀνθρώπῳ ὃν ὁ βασιλεὺς θέλει δοξάσαι.

LXX Esther 6:12

And Mardochæus returned to the palace: but Aman went home mourning, and having his head covered.

Greek · SeptuagintἘπέστρεψε δὲ ὁ Μαρδοχαῖος εἰς τὴν αὐλήν· Ἁμὰν δὲ ὑπέστρεψεν εἰς τὰ ἴδια λυπούμενος κατὰ κεφαλῆς.

LXX Esther 6:13

And Aman related the events that had befallen him to Zosara his wife, and to [his] friends: and his friends and his wife said to him, If Mardochæus [be] of the race of the Jews, [and] thou hast begun to be humbled before him, thou wilt assuredly fall, and thou wilt not be able to withstand him, for the living God [is] with him.

Greek · SeptuagintΚαὶ διηγήσατο Ἀμὰν τὰ συμβεβηκότα αὐτῷ Ζωσάρᾳ τῇ γυναικὶ αὐτοῦ, καὶ τοῖς φίλοις· καὶ εἶπαν πρὸς αὐτὸν οἱ φίλοι, καὶ ἡ γυνή εἰ ἐκ γένους Ἰουδαίων Μαρδοχαῖος, ἦρξαι ταπεινοῦσθαι ἐνώπιον αὐτοῦ, πεσὼν πεσῇ· καὶ οὐ μὴ δύνῃ αὐτὸν ἀμύνασθαι, ὅτι Θεὸς ζῶν μετʼ αὐτοῦ.

LXX Esther 6:14

While they were yet speaking, the chamberlains arrived, to hasten Aman to the banquet which Esther had prepared.

Greek · SeptuagintἜτι αὐτῶν λαλούντων, παραγίνονται οἱ εὐνοῦχοι, ἐπισπεύδοντες τὸν Ἀμὰν ἐπὶ τὸν πότον ὃν ἡτοίμασεν Ἐσθήρ.

LXX Esther 7:1

So the king and Aman went in to drink with the queen.

Greek · SeptuagintΕἴσῆλθε δὲ ὁ βασιλεὺς καὶ Ἀμὰν, συμπιεῖν τῇ βασιλίσσῃ.

LXX Esther 7:2

And the king said to Esther at the banquet on the second day, What is it, queen Esther? and what [is] thy request, and what [is] thy petition? and it shall be [done] for thee, to the half of my kingdom.

Greek · SeptuagintΕἶπε δὲ ὁ βασιλεὺς Ἐσθὴρ τῇ δευτέρᾳ ἡμέρᾳ ἐν τῷ πότῳ, τί ἐστιν, Ἐσθὴρ βασίλισσα, καὶ τί τὸ αἴτημά σου; καὶ τί τὸ ἀξίωμά σου; καὶ ἔστω σοι ἕως ἡμίσους τῆς βασιλείας μου.

LXX Esther 7:3

And she answered and said, If I have found favour in the sight of the king, let [my] life be granted to my petition, and my people to my request.

Greek · SeptuagintΚαὶ ἀποκριθεῖσα, εἶπεν, εἰ εὗρον χάριν ἐνώπιον τοῦ βασιλέως, δοθήτω ἡ ψυχὴ τῷ αἰτήματί μου, καὶ ὁ λαός μου τῷ ἀξιώματί μου.

LXX Esther 7:4

For both I and my people are sold for destruction, and pillage, and slavery; [both] we and our children for bondmen and bondwomen: and I consented not to it, for the slanderer [is] not worthy of the king's palace.

Greek · SeptuagintἘπράθημεν γὰρ ἐγώ τε καὶ ὁ λαός μου εἰς ἀπώλειαν καὶ διαρπαγὴν καὶ δουλείαν, ἡμεῖς καὶ τὰ τέκνα ἡμῶν εἰς παῖδας καὶ παιδίσκας, καὶ παρήκουσα· οὐ γὰρ ἄξιος ὁ διάβολος τῆς αὐλῆς τοῦ βασιλέως.

LXX Esther 7:5

And the king said, Who [is] this that has dared to do this thing?

Greek · SeptuagintΕἶπε δὲ ὁ βασιλεὺς, τίς οὗτος, ὅστις ἐτόλμησε ποιῆσαι τὸ πρᾶγμα τοῦτο;

LXX Esther 7:6

And Esther said, The adversary [is] Aman, this wicked man. Then Aman was troubled before the king and the queen.

Greek · SeptuagintΕἶπε δὲ Ἐσθὴρ, ἄνθρωπος ἐχθρὸς Ἀμὰν, ὁ πονηρὸς οὗτος. Ἀμὰν δὲ ἐταράχθη ἀπὸ τοῦ βασιλέως καὶ τῆς βασιλίσσης.

LXX Esther 7:7

And the king rose up from the banquet to go into the garden: and Aman began to intreat the queen; for he saw that he was in an evil case.

Greek · SeptuagintὉ δὲ βασιλεὺς ἐξανέστη ἀπὸ τοῦ συμποσίου εἰς τὸν κῆπον· ὁ δὲ Ἀμὰν παρῃτεῖτο τὴν βασίλισσαν· ἑώρα γὰρ ἑαυτὸν ἐν κακοῖς ὄντα.

LXX Esther 7:8

And the king returned from the garden; and Aman had fallen upon the bed, intreating the queen. And the king said, Wilt thou even force [my] wife in my house? And when Aman heard it, he changed countenance.

Greek · SeptuagintἘπέστρεψεν δὲ ὁ βασιλεὺς ἐκ τοῦ κήπου. Ἀμὰν δὲ ἐπιπεπτώκει ἐπὶ τὴν κλίνην, ἀξιῶν τὴν βασίλισσαν· εἶπν δὲ ὁ βασιλεὺς, ὥστε καὶ τὴν γυναῖκα βιάζῃ ἐν τῇ οἰκίᾳ μου; Ἀμὰν δὲ ἀκούσας διετράπη τῷ προσώπῳ.

LXX Esther 7:9

And Bugathan, one of the chamberlains, said to the king, Behold, Aman has also prepared a gallows for Mardochæus, who spoke concerning the king, and a gallows of fifty cubits high has been set up in the premises of Aman. And the king said, Let him be hanged thereon.

Greek · SeptuagintΕἶπε δὲ Βουγαθὰν εἷς τῶν εὐνούχων πρὸς τὸν βασιλέα, ἰδοὺ καὶ ξύλον ἡτοίμασεν Ἀμὰν Μαρδοχαίῳ τῷ λαλήσαντι περὶ τοῦ βασιλέως, καὶ ὤρθωται ἐν τοῖς Ἀμὰν ξύλον πηχῶν πεντήκοντα· εἶπε δὲ ὁ βασιλεὺς, σταυρωθήτω ἐπʼ αὐτοῦ.

LXX Esther 7:10

So Aman was hanged on the gallows that had been prepared for Mardochæus: and then the king's wrath was appeased.

Greek · SeptuagintΚαὶ ἐκρεμάσθη Ἀμὰν ἐπὶ τοῦ ξύλου ὃ ἡτοιμάσθη Μαρδοχαίῳ· καὶ τότε ὁ βασιλεὺς ἐκόπασε τοῦ θυμοῦ.

LXX Esther 8:1

And in that day king Artaxerxes gave to Esther all that belonged to Aman the slanderer: and Mardochæus was called by the king; for Esther had shewn that he was related to her.

Greek · SeptuagintΚαὶ ἐν αὐτῇ τῇ ἡμέρᾳ ὁ βασιλεὺς Ἀρταξέρξης ἐδωρήσατο Ἐσθὴρ ὅσα ὑπῆρχεν Ἀμὰν τῷ διαβόλῳ· καὶ Μαρδοχαῖος προσεκλήθη ὑπὸ τοῦ βασιλέως· ὑπέδειξε γὰρ Ἐσθὴρ, ὅτι ἐνοικείωται αὐτῇ.

LXX Esther 8:2

And the king took the ring which he had taken away from Aman, and gave it to Mardochæus: and Esther appointed Mardochæus over all that had been Aman's.

Greek · SeptuagintἜλαβε δὲ ὁ βασιλεὺς τὸν δακτύλιον ὃν ἀφείλατο Ἀμὰν, καὶ ἔδωκεν αὐτὸν Μαρδοχαίῳ· καὶ κατέστησεν Ἐσθὴρ Μαρδοχαῖον ἐπὶ πάντων τῶν Ἀμάν.

LXX Esther 8:3

And she spoke yet again to the king, and fell at his feet, and besought [him] to do away the mischief of Aman, and all that he had done against the Jews.

Greek · SeptuagintΚαὶ προσθεῖσα ἐλάλησε πρὸς τὸν βασιλέα, καὶ προσέπεσε πρὸς τοὺς πόδας αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἠξίου ἀφελεῖν τὴν Ἀμὰν κακίαν, καὶ ὅσα ἐποίησε τοῖς Ἰουδαίοις.

LXX Esther 8:4

Then the king stretched out to Esther the golden sceptre: and Esther arose to stand near the king.

Greek · SeptuagintἘξέτεινε δὲ ὁ βασιλεὺς Ἐσθὴρ τὴν ῥάβδον τὴν χρυσῆν· ἐξηγέρθη δὲ Ἐσθὴρ παρεστηκέναι τῷ βασιλεῖ,

LXX Esther 8:5

And Esther said, If it seem good to thee, and I have found favour [in thy sight], let an order be sent that the letters sent by Aman may be reversed, that were written for the destruction of the Jews, who are in thy kingdom.

Greek · Septuagintκαὶ εἶπεν Ἐσθὴρ, εἰ δοκεῖ σοι, καὶ εὗρον χάριν, πεμφθήτω ἀποστραφῆναι τὰ γράμματα τὰ ἀπεσταλμένα ὑπὸ Ἀμὰν, τὰ γραφέντα ἀπολέσθαι τοὺς Ἰουδαίους, οἵ εἰσιν ἐν τῇ βασιλείᾳ σου.

LXX Esther 8:6

For how shall I be able to look upon the affliction of my people, and how shall I be able to survive the destruction of my kindred?

Greek · SeptuagintΠῶς γὰρ δυνήσομαι ἰδεῖν τὴν κάκωσιν τοῦ λαοῦ μου, καὶ πῶς δυνήσομαι σωθῆναι ἐν τῇ ἀπωλείᾳ τῆς πατρίδος μου;

LXX Esther 8:7

And the king said to Esther, If I have given and freely granted thee all that was Aman's, and hanged him on a gallows, because he laid his hands upon the Jews, what dost thou yet further seek?

Greek · SeptuagintΚαὶ εἶπεν ὁ βασιλεὺς πρὸς Ἐσθὴρ, εἰ πάντα τὰ ὑπάρχοντα Ἀμὰν ἔδωκα καὶ ἐχαρισάμην σοι, καὶ αὐτὸν ἐκρέμασα ἐπὶ ξύλου, ὅτι τὰς χεῖρας ἐπήνεγκε τοῖς Ἰουδαίοις, τί ἔτι ἐπιζητεῖς;

LXX Esther 8:8

Write ye also in my name, as it seems good to you, and seal [it] with my ring: for whatever [orders] are written at the command of the king, and sealed with my ring, it is not lawful to gainsay them.

Greek · SeptuagintΓράψατε καὶ ὑμεῖς ἐκ τοῦ ὀνόματός μου, ὡς δοκεῖ ὑμῖν, καὶ σφραγίσατε τῷ δακτυλίῳ μου· ὅσα γὰρ γράφεται τοῦ βασιλέως ἐπιτάξαντος, καὶ σφραγισθῇ τῷ δακτυλίῳ μου, οὐκ ἔστιν αὐτοῖς ἀντειπεῖν.

LXX Esther 8:9

So the scribes were called in the first month, which is Nisan, on the three and twentieth day of the same year; and [orders] were written to the Jews, whatever [the king had] commanded to the local governors and chiefs of the satraps, from India even to Ethiopia, a hundred and twenty-seven satraps, according to the several provinces, according to their dialects.

Greek · SeptuagintἘκλήθησαν δὲ οἱ γραμματεῖς ἐν τῷ πρώτῳ μηνὶ, ὅς ἐστι Νισὰν, τρίτῃ καὶ εἰκάδι τοῦ αὐτοῦ ἔτους, καὶ ἐγράφη τοῖς Ἰουδαίοις, ὅσα ἐνετείλατο τοῖς οἰκονόμοις καὶ τοῖς ἄρχουσι τῶν σατραπῶν, ἀπὸ τῆς Ἰνδικῆς ἕως τῆς Αἰθιοπίας, ἑκατὸν εἰκοσιεπτὰ σατράπαις κατὰ χώραν καὶ χώραν, κατὰ τὴν αὐτῶν λέξιν.

LXX Esther 8:10

And they were written by order of the king, and sealed with his ring, and they sent the letters by the posts:

Greek · SeptuagintἘγράφη δὲ διὰ τοῦ βασιλέως, καὶ ἐσφραγίσθη τῷ δακτυλίῳ αὐτοῦ· καὶ ἐξαπέστειλαν τὰ γράμματα διὰ βιβλιοφόρων,

LXX Esther 8:11

wherein he charged them to use their [own] laws in every city, and to help each other, and to treat their adversaries, and those who attacked them, as they pleased,

Greek · Septuagintὡς ἐπέταξεν αὐτοῖς χρῆσθαι τοῖς νόμοις αὐτῶν ἐν πάσῃ πόλει, βοηθῆσαί τε αὑτοῖς, καὶ χρῆσθαι τοῖς ἀντιδίκοις αὐτῶν καὶ τοῖς ἀντικειμένοις αὐτῶν, ὡς βούλονται,

LXX Esther 8:12

on one day in all the kingdom of Artaxerxes, on the thirteenth [day] of the twelfth month, which is Adar.

Greek · Septuagintἐν ἡμέρᾳ μιᾷ ἐν πάσῃ τῇ βασιλείᾳ Ἀρταξέρξου, τῇ τρισκαιδεκάτῃ τοῦ δωδεκάτου μηνὸς, ὅς ἐστιν Ἀδάρ.

LXX Esther 8:13

And let the copies be posted in conspicuous places throughout the kingdom, and let all the Jews be ready against this day, to fight against their enemies.

Greek · SeptuagintΤὰ δὲ ἀντίγραφα ἐκτιθέσθωσαν ὀφθαλμοφανῶς ἐν πάσῃ τῇ βασιλείᾳ, ἑτοίμους τε εἶναι πάντας τοὺς Ἰουδαίους εἰς ταύτην τὴν ἡμέραν, πολεμῆσαι αὐτῶν τοὺς ὑπεναντίους.

LXX Esther 8:14

So the horsemen went forth with haste to perform the king's commands; and the ordinance was also published in Susa.

Greek · SeptuagintΟἱ μὲν οὖν ἱππεῖς ἐξῆλθον σπεύδοντες τὰ ὑπὸ τοῦ βασιλέως λεγόμενα ἐπιτελεῖν· ἐξετέθη δὲ τὸ πρόσταγμα καὶ ἐν Σούσοις.

LXX Esther 8:15

And Mardochæus went forth robed in the royal apparel, and wearing a golden crown, and a diadem of fine purple linen: and the people in Susa saw [it] and rejoiced.

Greek · SeptuagintὉ δὲ Μαρδοχαῖος ἐξῆλθεγ ἐστολισμένος τὴν βασιλικὴν στολὴν, καὶ στέφανον ἔχων χρυσοῦν, καὶ διάδημα βύσσινον πορφυροῦν· ἰδόντες δὲ οἱ ἐν Σούσοις ἐχάρησαν.

LXX Esther 8:16

And the Jews had light and gladness,

Greek · SeptuagintΤοῖς δὲ Ἰουδαίοις ἐγένετο φῶς καὶ εὐφροσύνη

LXX Esther 8:17

in every city and province wherever the ordinance was published: wherever the proclamation took place, the Jews had joy and gladness, feasting and mirth: and many of the Gentiles were circumcised, and became Jews, for fear of the Jews.

Greek · Septuagintκατὰ πόλιν καὶ χώραν, οὗ ἂν ἐξετέθη τὸ πρόσταγμα· οὗ ἂν ἐξετέθη τὸ ἔκθεμα, χαρὰ καὶ εὐφροσύνη τοῖς Ἰουδαίοις, κώθων καὶ εὐφροσύνη· καὶ πολλοὶ τῶν ἐθνῶν περιετέμοντο, καὶ Ἰουδάϊζον διὰ τὸν φόβον τῶν Ἰουδαίων.

LXX Esther 9:1

For in the twelfth month, on the thirteenth day of the month which is Adar, the letters written by the king arrived.

Greek · SeptuagintἘν γὰρ τῷ δωδεκάτῳ μηνὶ τρισκαιδεκάτῃ τοῦ μηνός, ὅς ἐστιν Ἀδάρ, παρῆν τὰ γράμματα τὰ γραφέντα ὑπὸ τοῦ βασιλέως.

LXX Esther 9:2

In that day the adversaries of the Jews perished: for no one resisted, through fear of them.

Greek · SeptuagintἘν αὐτῇ τῇ ἡμέρᾳ ἀπώλοντο οἱ ἀντικείμενοι τοῖς Ἰουδαίοις· οὐδεὶς γὰρ ἀντέστη, φοβούμενος αὐτούς.

LXX Esther 9:3

For the chiefs of the satraps, and the princes and the royal scribes, honoured the Jews; for the fear of Mardochæus lay upon them.

Greek · SeptuagintΟἱ γὰρ ἄρχοντες τῶν σατραπῶν, καὶ οἱ τύραννοι, καὶ οἱ βασιλικοὶ γραμματεῖς ἐτίμων τοὺς Ἰουδαίους· ὁ γὰρ φόβος Μαρδοχαίου ἐνέκειτο αὐτοῖς.

LXX Esther 9:4

For the order of the king was in force, that he should be celebrated in all the kingdom.

the ten sons of Aman the son of Amadathes the Bugæan, the enemy of the Jews, and they plundered [their property] on the same day:

Greek · Septuagintτοὺς δέκα υἱοὺς Ἀμὰν Ἀμαδάθοῦ Βουγαίου τοῦ ἐχθροῦ τῶν Ἰουδαίων, καὶ διήρπασαν

LXX Esther 9:11

and the number of them that perished in Susa was rendered to the king.

Greek · Septuagintἐν αὐτῇ τῇ ἡμέρᾳ· ἐπεδόθη τε ὁ ἀριθμὸς τῷ βασιλεῖ τῶν ἀπολωλότων ἐν Σούσοις.

LXX Esther 9:12

And the king said to Esther, The Jews have slain five hundred men in the city Susa; and how, thinkest thou, have they used them in the rest of the country? What then dost thou yet ask, that it may be [done] for thee?

Greek · SeptuagintΕἶπε δὲ ὁ βασιλεὺς πρὸς Ἐσθὴρ, ἀπώλεσαν οἱ Ἰουδαῖοι ἐν Σούσοις τῇ πόλει ἄνδρας πεντακοσίους, ἐν δὲ τῇ περιχώρῳ πῶς οἴει ἐχρήσαντο; τί οὖν ἀξιοῖς ἔτι, καὶ ἔσται σοι;

LXX Esther 9:14

And he permitted it to be so done; and he gave up to the Jews of the city the bodies of the sons of Aman to hang.

Greek · SeptuagintΚαὶ ἐπέτρεψεν οὕτως γενέσθαι, καὶ ἐξέθηκε τοῖς Ἰουδαίοις τῆς πόλεως τὰ σώματα τῶν υἱῶν Ἀμὰν κρεμάσαι·

LXX Esther 9:15

And the Jews assembled in Susa on the fourteenth [day] of Adar, and slew three hundred men, but plundered no property.
