以斯帖记第5章

《圣经》以斯帖记-第5章

斯5:1 第三日，以斯帖穿上朝服，进王宫的内院，对殿站立。王在殿里坐在宝座上，对着殿门。 (串)斯4:16|斯4:11斯6:4

†[吕]第三天、以斯帖穿上朝服，在王宫的内院、对着王殿站着。王在王殿对着殿门、在王位上坐着。

†[思]第叁天，艾斯德尔身穿王后的华服，站在王宫的内院，面向宫殿；那时君王正坐在宫殿的宝座上，面向宫门。

†[当代]三天后，以斯帖穿上朝服，进入内院，对著殿前而立。那时，国王正坐在宝座上，面向殿门。

†[新译]第三天，以斯帖穿上朝服，站在王宫的内院，对着王殿；王在殿里坐在王位上，对着殿门。

†[Wlb]越至三日、以斯帖衣朝服、立于王宫内院、在王宫相对之所、王在宫中坐其位、对于门、

†[Xdv]在以斯帖禁食的第三天，她穿上王后的礼服进王宫，站在王宫的内院，面对着王宝座的殿。王正坐在宝座上，面朝殿门。

†[Kjv]Now it came to pass on the third day, that Esther put on her royal apparel, and stood in the inner court of the king's house, over against the king's house: and the king sat upon his royal throne in the royal house, over against the gate of the house.

†[Nkjv]Now it happened on the third day that Esther put on her royal robes and stood in the inner court of the king's palace, across from the king's house, while the king sat on his royal throne in the royal house, facing the entrance of the house.

†[BBE]Now on the third day, Esther put on her queen's robes, and took her place in the inner room of the king's house, facing the king's house: and the king was seated on his high seat in the king's house, facing the doorway of the house.

†[GNT] On the third day of her fast Esther put on her royal robes and went and stood in the inner courtyard of the palace, facing the throne room. The king was inside, seated on the royal throne, facing the entrance.

†[NIV]On the third day Esther put on her royal robes and stood in the inner court of the palace, in front of the king's hall. The king was sitting on his royal throne in the hall, facing the entrance.

本会注释　　第三日。即禁食的第三天（斯4:16）。以斯帖和她的宫女们（可能也是犹太人）从第一天的某个时候起什么都没有吃，第二天也没有吃，直到第三天的上午（见@斯4:16@注释）。
　　穿上朝服。禁食时以斯帖可能穿上麻衣，蒙了灰尘，但这时她换上了显赫的朝服。以斯帖离开宫殿的女宅，经过皇室大殿周围的御园，进入面对敞开的王座大厅的庭院（见@斯1:5@注释）。以斯帖站在王座对面，与王座保持一段距离，以引起国王的注意，等待国王的悦纳。她知道她来的时候国王正坐在自己的宝座上，一定能看见她。
　　对着殿门。即大殿入口的对面。王座朝着大门，可能设在一个平台上。国王坐在宝座上可以透过立柱看到大门和外面的庭院（见斯1:5注释）。

斯5:2 王见王后以斯帖站在院内，就施恩于她，向她伸出手中的金杖；以斯帖便向前摸杖头。 (串)斯2:9|斯4:11;8:4

†[吕]王见王后以斯帖在院内站着，以斯帖在王面前蒙恩宠，王就向以斯帖伸出手中的金杖；以斯帖便走近前去摸杖头。

†[思]君王一见艾斯德尔王后在庭院内，就对她起了宠幸的心，於是向艾斯德尔伸出手中的金杖，艾斯德尔遂上前来，摸了金杖的顶端。

†[当代]一见王后站在内院，就施恩给她，向她伸出手中的金杖。以斯帖便上前摸著金杖的顶端。

†[新译]王见王后以斯帖站在院内，就对她施恩，向她伸出手中的金杖，以斯帖就上前摸杖头。

†[Wlb]见后以斯帖立于院中、则加恩、向之举金杖、以斯帖乃前、扪其杖端、

†[Xdv]王看见王后以斯帖站在外面，就心生爱怜，伸出了金杖。于是以斯帖走向前去，摸了杖头。

†[Kjv]And it was so, when the king saw Esther the queen standing in the court, that she obtained favour in his sight: and the king held out to Esther the golden sceptre that was in his hand. So Esther drew near, and touched the top of the sceptre.

†[Nkjv]So it was, when the king saw Queen Esther standing in the court, that she found favor in his sight, and the king held out to Esther the golden scepter that was in his hand. Then Esther went near and touched the top of the scepter.

†[BBE]And when the king saw Esther the queen waiting in the inner room, looking kindly on her he put out the rod of gold in his hand to her. So Esther came near and put her fingers on the top of the rod.

†[GNT] When the king saw Queen Esther standing outside, she won his favor, and he held out to her the gold scepter. She then came up and touched the tip of it.

†[NIV]When he saw Queen Esther standing in the court, he was pleased with her and held out to her the gold scepter that was in his hand. So Esther approached and touched the tip of the scepter.

本会注释　　伸出金杖表示国王悦纳。模杖头表示接受国王的悦纳。以斯帖擅入庭院是违法的（斯4:11；参斯6:4）。亚哈随鲁一定意识到以斯帖有要紧的事才未经召唤就来到御座。

斯5:3 王对她说：“王后以斯帖啊，你要什么？你求什么，就是国的一半也必赐给你。” (串)斯7:2可6:23

†[吕]王对她说：“王后以斯帖阿，你求什么？你要什么？就是到国的一半，也赐给你。”

†[思]君王问她说：“艾斯德尔后，你有什麽事？你要求什麽？即使要求一半江山，我也必赐给你！”

†[当代]国王问她说：“以斯帖王后，有什么事吗？你想要什么呢？就是半壁江山，我也会给你！”

†[新译]王问她：“王后以斯帖啊，你有什么事吗？你求什么？就是一半江山，也必赐给你。”

†[Wlb]王谕之曰、后以斯帖、尔何所欲、尔何所求、即国之半、亦必予尔、

†[Xdv]王问她：“王后以斯帖啊！有什么事吗？你想求什么，我都会给你，就是要我王国的一半，我也会赐给你。”

†[Kjv]Then said the king unto her, What wilt thou, queen Esther? and what is thy request? it shall be even given thee to the half of the kingdom.

†[Nkjv]And the king said to her, "What do you wish, Queen Esther? What is your request? It shall be given to you--up to half the kingdom!"

†[BBE]Then the king said, What is your desire, Queen Esther, and what is your request? I will give it to you, even to the half of my kingdom.

†[GNT] "What is it, Queen Esther?" the king asked. "Tell me what you want, and you shall have it - even if it is half my empire."

†[NIV]Then the king asked, "What is it, Queen Esther? What is your request? Even up to half the kingdom, it will be given you."

本会注释　　你要什么。未经请求就已准许，这是东方君主表达善意的习惯做法。据希罗多德记载，国王在一年中有一天，要答应酒席上一位客人的任何请求。以斯帖的来到说明她有要紧的请求要提。
　　国的一半。证明国王高兴的又一个证据（见可6:23）。

斯5:4 以斯帖说：“王若以为美，就请王带着哈曼今日赴我所预备的筵席。”

†[吕]以斯帖说：“王若以为好，就请王和哈曼今天来赴我为王所豫备的筵席。”

†[思]艾斯德尔答说：“若大王开恩，请大王今日与哈曼同去饮妾为陛下所预备的酒宴。”

†[当代]“要是陛下肯施恩，就请今天跟哈曼一起来赴我为陛下所设的筵席。”以斯帖回答说。

†[新译]以斯帖回答：“王若是欢喜，就请王今天带着哈曼来赴我为王预备的筵席。”

†[Wlb]以斯帖曰、我为王设宴、如王悦之、请与哈曼、今日赴宴、

†[Xdv]以斯帖回答：“我若蒙陛下的恩宠，就请陛下跟哈曼今晚光临我特意准备的筵席。”

†[Kjv]And Esther answered, If it seem good unto the king, let the king and Haman come this day unto the banquet that I have prepared for him.

†[Nkjv]So Esther answered, "If it pleases the king, let the king and Haman come today to the banquet that I have prepared for him."

†[BBE]And Esther in answer said, If it seems good to the king, let the king and Haman come today to the feast which I have made ready for him.

†[GNT] Esther replied, "If it please Your Majesty, I would like you and Haman to be my guests tonight at a banquet I am preparing for you."

†[NIV]If it pleases the king," replied Esther, "let the king, together with Haman, come today to a banquet I have prepared for him."

本会注释　　这个邀请有点不寻常。国王和王后通常是分开用餐的。王后除了邀请国王，还邀请另一个男士，这就更不寻常了。这对于受邀请者似乎是的很大善意。亚哈随鲁可能还记得瓦实提拒绝出席他宴席的事。以斯帖这种不寻常的邀请，加上由她亲自提出，一定令国王感到惊奇。国王可能胡乱猜测了好几个小时，越发好奇。

斯5:5 王说：“叫哈曼速速照以斯帖的话去行。”于是王带着哈曼赴以斯帖所预备的筵席。

†[吕]王说：“快将哈曼召来，好实行以斯帖的话。”于是王和哈曼就去赴以斯帖所豫备的筵席。

†[思]王遂说：“快叫哈曼来，以满足艾斯德尔的心愿！”於是王和哈曼一同去赴艾斯德尔预备的酒宴。

†[当代]国王命令左右说：“快传哈曼来，照王后的话去做。”于是国王就与哈曼一起去赴以斯帖的筵席。

†[新译]王说：“快把哈曼召来，好照着以斯帖的话去行。”于是王带着哈曼去赴以斯帖预备的筵席。

†[Wlb]王命曰、使哈曼速行、如以斯帖所言、于是王及哈曼、赴以斯帖所备之宴、

†[Xdv]王吩咐人召哈曼立刻来，好一起赴以斯帖的筵席。于是王跟哈曼一起赴宴。

†[Kjv]Then the king said, Cause Haman to make haste, that he may do as Esther hath said. So the king and Haman came to the banquet that Esther had prepared.

†[Nkjv]Then the king said, "Bring Haman quickly, that he may do as Esther has said." So the king and Haman went to the banquet that Esther had prepared.

†[BBE]Then the king said, Let Haman come quickly, so that what Esther has said may be done. So the king and Haman came to the feast which Esther had made ready.

†[GNT] The king then ordered Haman to come quickly, so that they could be Esther's guests. So the king and Haman went to Esther's banquet.

†[NIV]Bring Haman at once," the king said, "so that we may do what Esther asks." So the king and Haman went to the banquet Esther had prepared.

斯5:6 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。” (串)本章3斯7:2;9:12

†[吕]在酒席中王又问以斯帖说：“你求什么？我必赐给你；你要什么？就是到国的一半，也必给你作成。”

†[思]酒兴之馀，王对艾斯德尔说：“你要求什麽，我必给你；不管你求什麽，那怕是半壁江山，也必照办。”

†[当代]席间，国王又向以斯帖说：“坦白地告诉我，你有什么请求，我一定会赐给你的；就是半壁江山我也必照样给你。”

†[新译]在酒席中，王问以斯帖：“你要什么？我必赐给你；你求什么？就是一半江山，也必为你成全。”

†[Wlb]宴饮之时、王谓以斯帖曰、尔何所求、我必予尔、尔何所欲、即国之半、亦必为之、

†[Xdv]喝酒的时候，王又问以斯帖：“你想求什么，我都会给你。我要给你，就是王国的一半，我也愿意。”

†[Kjv]And the king said unto Esther at the banquet of wine, What is thy petition? and it shall be granted thee: and what is thy request? even to the half of the kingdom it shall be performed.

†[Nkjv]At the banquet of wine the king said to Esther, "What is your petition? It shall be granted you. What is your request, up to half the kingdom? It shall be done!"

†[BBE]And while they were drinking wine the king said to Esther, What is your prayer? for it will be given to you and what is your request? for it will be done, even to the half of my kingdom.

†[GNT] Over the wine the king asked her, "Tell me what you want, and you shall have it. I will grant your request, even if you ask for half my empire."

†[NIV]As they were drinking wine, the king again asked Esther, "Now what is your petition? It will be given you. And what is your request? Even up to half the kingdom, it will be granted."

本会注释　　以斯帖冒着生命的危险，未经召唤就来到王座，亚哈随鲁当然知道这绝不是单为了宴请他和他的首相。

斯5:7 以斯帖回答说：“我有所要，我有所求。

†[吕]以斯帖回答说：“我所求要的就是：

†[思]艾斯德尔答说：“这即是我的恳请和要求：

†[当代]以斯帖便回答说：“陛下，我的请求是：如果我能得到陛下的恩宠，赐我所求的，就请陛下和哈曼明天再来赴我的筵席。明天，我一定把所要求的向陛下禀明。”

†[新译]以斯帖回答说：“我所要我所求的就是：

†[Wlb]以斯帖曰、我之所求所欲、

†[Xdv]以斯帖说：

†[Kjv]Then answered Esther, and said, My petition and my request is;

†[Nkjv]Then Esther answered and said, "My petition and request is this:

†[BBE]Then Esther said in answer, My prayer and my request is this:

†[GNT] Esther replied,

†[NIV]Esther replied, "My petition and my request is this:

斯5:8 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。” (串)斯7:3;8:5|斯6:14

†[吕]我若在王面前蒙恩宠，王若喜欢赐给我所求的，实行我所要的，就请王和哈曼明天来赴我为王所要豫备的筵席；明天我就要照王所说的话来明。”

†[思]如果我见宠於大王，如果大王乐意俯允我的恳请，实践我的要求，就请大王明天与哈曼，再来饮妾所设的酒宴；明天我必依照君王的命答覆陛下。”

†[当代]－

†[新译]我若是在王眼前蒙恩，王若是愿意赐给我所要的，成全我所求的，就请王带着哈曼明天再来赴我为你们预备的筵席；明天我必照着王的命令行。”

†[Wlb]我若沾恩于王前、且王悦之、允我所求、成我所欲、请与哈曼、赴我所设之宴、明日必依王言而行、

†[Xdv]“要是我得到陛下的恩宠，准我的请求，请王和哈曼明天再光临我特意准备的筵席。那时候，我就告诉王我有什么请求。”

†[Kjv]If I have found favour in the sight of the king, and if it please the king to grant my petition, and to perform my request, let the king and Haman come to the banquet that I shall prepare for them, and I will do to morrow as the king hath said.

†[Nkjv]If I have found favor in the sight of the king, and if it pleases the king to grant my petition and fulfill my request, then let the king and Haman come to the banquet which I will prepare for them, and tomorrow I will do as the king has said."

†[BBE]If I have the king's approval, and if it is the king's pleasure to give me my prayer and do my request, let the king and Haman come to the feast which I will make ready for them, and tomorrow I will do as the king has said.

†[GNT] "If Your Majesty is kind enough to grant my request, I would like you and Haman to be my guests tomorrow at another banquet that I will prepare for you. At that time I will tell you what I want."

†[NIV]If the king regards me with favor and if it pleases the king to grant my petition and fulfill my request, let the king and Haman come tomorrow to the banquet I will prepare for them. Then I will answer the king's question."

本会注释　　把陈述请求推迟一天，对以斯帖是很有好处的。最主要的是亚哈随鲁无疑会对她的请求更加重视。她早一天不情而来，说明她的请求不仅涉及到她本人的生死，是经过深思熟虑的，不是出于一时的冲动。拖延还会增强国王的好奇心（见第4节注释），使他对意外的情况不会过于吃惊。对于以斯帖来说，推迟使她有时间祈祷和仔细考虑表达请求的方式。天意在以斯帖不知情的情况下引导了这次推延，使国王的思想做好了准备（斯6:1-11）。

斯5:9 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。 (串)王上8:66|斯2:19|斯3:5

†[吕]那一天哈曼出来，心里欢喜高兴；但哈曼一见末底改在御门那里也不站起来，也不因他而颤动一下，哈曼就怒火填胸怒恨末底改。

†[思]那一天，哈曼出去，非常高兴，满心喜乐；但是哈曼一见在御门前的犹太人摩尔德开既不起立，也不退避，就对他满怀愤恨，

†[当代]宴罢出来，哈曼正在洋洋自得，心花怒放之际，忽然看见末底改在宫门前，既不向他行礼，也不回避。哈曼心中很是恼怒。

†[新译]那天哈曼心里快乐，高高兴兴地出来；但是哈曼见了末底改在御门那里不站起来，也不因哈曼的缘故而退避，哈曼心里就对末底改充满忿怒。

†[Wlb]是日哈曼中心欢悦、欣然而出、然见末底改在御门、不起立、不动身、则怒甚、

†[Xdv]哈曼心情愉快地离开了宴会。但是当他经过王宫门口，看见末底改坐在那里不站起来，连一点尊敬的表示都没有，就气愤极了。

†[Kjv]Then went Haman forth that day joyful and with a glad heart: but when Haman saw Mordecai in the king's gate, that he stood not up, nor moved for him, he was full of indignation against Mordecai.

†[Nkjv]So Haman went out that day joyful and with a glad heart; but when Haman saw Mordecai in the king's gate, and that he did not stand or tremble before him, he was filled with indignation against Mordecai.

†[BBE]Then on that day Haman went out full of joy and glad in heart; but when he saw Mordecai in the king's doorway, and he did not get to his feet or give any sign of fear before him, Haman was full of wrath against Mordecai.

†[GNT] When Haman left the banquet he was happy and in a good mood. But then he saw Mordecai at the entrance of the palace, and when Mordecai did not rise or show any sign of respect as he passed, Haman was furious with him.

†[NIV]Haman went out that day happy and in high spirits. But when he saw Mordecai at the king's gate and observed that he neither rose nor showed fear in his presence, he was filled with rage against Mordecai.

本会注释　　或“不站起来，也不颤抖”（英文RSV版）。被哈曼的敕令判处死刑的末底改勇敢地藐视始作俑者。他站在朝门，证明他不再像两天前那样穿着麻衣（斯4:2）。他无疑已知道以斯帖蒙王悦纳，相信她的计划会取得成功。

斯5:10 哈曼暂且忍耐回家，叫人请他朋友和他妻子细利斯来。 (串)斯6:13

†[吕]哈曼勉强忍住，回家去，就打发人去请他几个朋友和他妻子细利斯来。

†[思]却仍忍气回了家，且打发人叫他的朋友和爱妻则勒士来，

†[当代]但他暂且忍著怒气，回到家中，把他的朋友和妻子细利斯都叫了来，

†[新译]哈曼忍住怒气，回家去了，就派人去请他的朋友和妻子细利斯来。

†[Wlb]强涊而归、招其友及妻细利斯至、

†[Xdv]但是他压住自己的怒气，回到家里，然后请朋友们到他家来，也要他妻子细利斯出来。

†[Kjv]Nevertheless Haman refrained himself: and when he came home, he sent and called for his friends, and Zeresh his wife.

†[Nkjv]Nevertheless Haman restrained himself and went home, and he sent and called for his friends and his wife Zeresh.

†[BBE]But controlling himself, he went to his house; and he sent for his friends and Zeresh, his wife.

†[GNT] But he controlled himself and went on home. Then he invited his friends to his house and asked his wife Zeresh to join them.

†[NIV]Nevertheless, Haman restrained himself and went home. Calling together his friends and Zeresh, his wife,

本会注释　　哈曼尽管对末底改很生气，但不屑于理他。

斯5:11 哈曼将他富厚的荣耀、众多的儿女，和王抬举他使他超乎首领臣仆之上，都述说给他们听。 (串)斯9:7-10|斯3:1

†[吕]哈曼将他财富之丰厚（同词：荣耀。或译‘豪华’）、他儿女之众多、以及王怎样使他尊大、怎样高升了他超过众官长和王的臣仆们、都叙说给他们听。

†[思]向他们夸耀自己如何富贵荣华，子女如何众多，君王如何尊崇他，如何高举他在众公卿和朝臣之上。

†[当代]向他们夸耀自己家财丰富，子孙满堂，国王又是那么赏识他，甚至擢升他到位极人臣等等得意的事情。

†[新译]哈曼把他的富贵荣华、儿女的众多，以及王怎样使他尊大，怎样抬举他在王的众领袖和众臣仆之上的一切事，都数说给他们听。

†[Wlb]以其财货之富、子女之繁、及王擢而升之、超于诸伯王臣诸事、悉告之、

†[Xdv]哈曼向他们炫耀自己的富有和众多的儿女，又提到王怎样提升他的地位，使他高过所有的大臣和官员。

†[Kjv]And Haman told them of the glory of his riches, and the multitude of his children, and all the things wherein the king had promoted him, and how he had advanced him above the princes and servants of the king.

†[Nkjv]Then Haman told them of his great riches, the multitude of his children, everything in which the king had promoted him, and how he had advanced him above the officials and servants of the king.

†[BBE]And he gave them an account of the glories of his wealth, and the number of children he had, and the ways in which he had been honoured by the king, and how he had put him over the captains and servants of the king.

†[GNT] He boasted to them about how rich he was, how many sons he had, how the king had promoted him to high office, and how much more important he was than any of the king's other officials.

†[NIV]Haman boasted to them about his vast wealth, his many sons, and all the ways the king had honored him and how he had elevated him above the other nobles and officials.

本会注释　　富厚。见@斯3:9@注释。
　　儿女。直译为“儿子们”。据9:7-10，哈曼有十个儿子。儿子多在波斯人和其他东方人中是很体面的。

斯5:12 哈曼又说：“王后以斯帖预备筵席，除了我之外不许别人随王赴席。明日王后又请我随王赴席；

†[吕]哈曼又说：“王后以斯帖没有请别人同王赴她所豫备筵席，只请了我；明天也只有我蒙她召请跟王一同去赴宴。

†[思]他又说：“甚至，艾斯德尔王后，除我以外，没有请任何人与君王一同赴她设的盛宴；明天又请我再同君王到她那里去。

†[当代]他还这样说：“连以斯帖王后也都看重我。她没请别人，只请了我陪国王去赴她的筵席。明天，她还要请我去呢。

†[新译]哈曼又说：“王后以斯帖除我以外，没有邀请别人与王一同去赴她预备的筵席；明天又邀请我与王一同到她那里去赴席。

†[Wlb]且曰、后以斯帖设宴、予而外、不许人偕王赴之、明日设宴、我与王又见请、

†[Xdv]哈曼又说：“不但这样，王后以斯帖还专为王跟我开了一个宴会，而且请我们明天再去呢！

†[Kjv]Haman said moreover, Yea, Esther the queen did let no man come in with the king unto the banquet that she had prepared but myself; and to morrow am I invited unto her also with the king.

†[Nkjv]Moreover Haman said, "Besides, Queen Esther invited no one but me to come in with the king to the banquet that she prepared; and tomorrow I am again invited by her, along with the king.

†[BBE]And Haman said further, Truly, Esther the queen let no man but myself come in to the feast which she had made ready for the king; and tomorrow again I am to be her guest with the king.

†[GNT] "What is more," Haman went on, "Queen Esther gave a banquet for no one but the king and me, and we are invited back tomorrow.

†[NIV]And that's not all," Haman added. "I'm the only person Queen Esther invited to accompany the king to the banquet she gave. And she has invited me along with the king tomorrow.

斯5:13 只是我见犹大人末底改坐在朝门，虽有这一切荣耀，也与我无益。”

†[吕]但我每逢看见那犹大人末底改坐在御门那里，总觉得这一切富贵对于我全都无用。”

†[思]但每当我一见坐在御门前的犹太人摩尔德开时，这一切於我都乏味了！”

†[当代]最扫兴的就是末底改，我一见到这个犹太人坐在宫门口，纵使有这一切荣华富贵，也提不起我的兴趣了。”

†[新译]只是每逢我看见坐在朝门那里的犹大人末底改的时候，这一切对我都没有多大的意思。”

†[Wlb]惟见犹大人末底改坐于御门、则此一切、不足为意、

†[Xdv]可是，每当我看见那个犹太人末底改坐在王宫门口，我就觉得这一切富贵荣华对我毫无意义。”

†[Kjv]Yet all this availeth me nothing, so long as I see Mordecai the Jew sitting at the king's gate.

†[Nkjv]Yet all this avails me nothing, so long as I see Mordecai the Jew sitting at the king's gate."

†[BBE]But all this is nothing to me while I see Mordecai the Jew seated by the king's doorway.

†[GNT] But none of this means a thing to me as long as I see that Jew Mordecai sitting at the entrance of the palace."

†[NIV]But all this gives me no satisfaction as long as I see that Jew Mordecai sitting at the king's gate."

本会注释　　哈曼没有学会以喜乐克制痛苦，以高兴克制悲伤，以满足克制烦恼，也不明白人生的苦恼和磨练乃是化装的福气。虽然他在表面上有自制力，担任强大的波斯帝国的首相，但他的本性与野蛮人无异。属世的伟大并不能证明心灵的伟大或良善。

斯5:14 他的妻细利斯和他一切的朋友对他说：“不如立一个五丈高的木架，明早求王将末底改挂在其上，然后你可以欢欢喜喜地随王赴席。”哈曼以这话为美，就叫人做了木架。 (串)斯6:4;7:9-10;8:7;9:13,25

†[吕]他妻子细利斯和他所有的朋友都对他说：“请叫人立一个五十肘（一肘约等于一呎半）高的示众木架，明天早晨求王将末底改挂在上头，你就可以欢欢喜喜地同王去赴筵席了。”这提议哈曼认为满意，就立了那样的示众木架。

†[思]他的爱妻则勒士和他的朋友便对他说：“该做一个高五十尺的刑架，天一亮就对君王说：把摩尔德开悬在上面！这样你可欣然与君王共同赴筵了。”哈曼看这主意不错，就叫人做了一个刑架。

†[当代]他的妻子细利斯和所有的朋友都提议说：“你可以准备一个二十三公尺高的刑架，明早求国王将末底改吊在上面；你不就可以轻松愉快地去陪国王赴筵席吗？”哈曼认为这个提议很好，便派人去准备刑架。

†[新译]他的妻子细利斯和他所有的朋友都对他说：“叫人立一个二十二公尺高的木架，明早求王，把末底改挂在上面，然后你可以欢欢喜喜地与王一同赴筵席了。”这话使哈曼很满意，就叫人做了木架。

†[Wlb]其妻细利斯与诸友谓之曰、当具木高五丈、明日求王、悬末底改于上、然后欣然与王赴宴、哈曼悦其言、使具木焉、

†[Xdv]他的妻子跟所有朋友向他建议说：“你为什么不下令建一座二十二公尺高的绞刑架呢？明天早上，你可以请求王把末底改吊在上面。这样，你就可以快快乐乐地去赴宴了。”哈曼认为这是好主意，就叫人造了绞刑架。
