2 aur jab raja ne aester ranee ko angan men khdee huirar dekha, tab us se prasann hokar sone ka rajadand jo usake hath men tha usakee or baddhaya. tab aester ne nikatt jakar rajadand kee lok chhui.
3 tab raja ne us se poochha, he aesater ranee, tujhe kya chaahiye? aur too ky mangatee haai? mang aur tujhe adha rajy tak diya jaaega.
4 aester ne kaha, yadi raja ko sveekar ho, to aj haman ko sath lekar us jevanar men aa, jo maain ne raja ke liye taaiyar kee haai.
5 tab raja ne agyaa dee ki haman ko turant le ao, ki aester ka nimantran grahan kiya jaae. so raja aur haman aester kee taaiyar kee hui jevanar men aae.
6 jevanar ke samay jab dakhmadha piya jata tha, tab raja ne aester se kaha, tera kya nivedan haai? vah poora kiya jaaega. aur too kya mangatee haai? mang, or adha rajy tak tujhe diya jaaega.
7 aester ne uttar diya, mera nivedan aur jo maain mangatee hoo vah yah haai,
8 ki yadi raja mujh par prasann haai aur mera nivedan sunana aur jo varadan maain mangoon vahee dena raja ko sveekar ho, to raja aur haman kal us jevanar men aaen jise maain unake liye karoongee, aur kal maain raja ke is vachan ke anusar karoongee.
9 us din haman anandait or man men prasann hokar bahar gaya. parantu jab us ne mordakaai ko rajabhvan ke faattk men dekha, ki vah usake samhane n to khda hua, aur n hatta, tab vah mordakaai ke viruddh krodha se bhr gaya.
10 taubhee vah apane ko rokakar apane ghar gaya aur apane mitraen aur apanee sree jeresh ko bulava bheja.
11 tab haman ne, un se apane dhan ka vibhv, aur apane ladke-balon kee baddhtee aur raja ne usako kaaise kaaise baddhaya, aur aur sab haakimon aur apane aur sab karmachaariyon se uncha pad diya tha, in sab ka varnn kiya.
12 haman ne yah bhee kaha, ki aester ranee ne bhee mujhe chhod aur kisee ko raja ke sang, apanee kee hui jevanar men ane n diya aur kal ke liye bhee raja ke sang us ne mujhee ko nevata diya haai.
13 taubhee jab jab mujhe vah yahoodee mordakaai rajabhvan ke faattk men baaitta hua dikhai padta haai, tab tab yah sab meree draashtti men vyarth haai.
14 usakee patnee jeresh aur usake sab mitraen ne us se kaha, pachas hath uncha faansee ka ek khmbha, banaya jaa, aur bihan ko raja se kahana, ki us par mordakaai lattka diya jae tab raja ke sang anand se jevanar men jana. is bat se prasann hokar haman ne baaisa hee faansee ka ek khmbha banavaya.
