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.

The verse 8 is found in chapter 5 of Esther. During the first banquet, Esther again postpones her request and asks the king and Haman to attend another banquet the following day. The delay increases the narrative tension. Esther maintains control of the situation through successive invitations, while Haman remains unaware of the true reason for his presence.

Habe ich Gnade gefunden vor dem König, und so es dem König gefällt mir zu geben eine Bitte und zu tun mein Begehren, so komme der König und Haman zu dem Mahl, das ich für sie zurichten will; so will ich morgen Tun, was der König gesagt hat.
Si he hallado gracia en los ojos del rey, y si place al rey otorgar mi petición y hacer mi demanda, que venga el rey con Amán al banquete que les dispondré; y mañana haré conforme a lo que el rey ha mandado.
si he hallado favor ante los ojos del rey, y si al rey le parece bien otorgar mi petición y cumplir mi ruego, que vengan el rey y Amán al banquete que les prepararé. Mañana haré lo que el rey ha dicho».
Si j'ai trouvé grâce aux yeux du roi, et s'il plaît au roi d'accorder ma demande et de satisfaire mon désir, que le roi vienne avec Haman au festin que je leur préparerai, et demain je donnerai réponse au roi selon son ordre.
Che se io ho trovata grazia appo il re, e se piace al re di concedermi la mia richiesta, e di far la mia domanda, il re venga con Haman ad un altro convito che io farò loro; e domani, io farò secondo la parola del re
Se achei graça aos olhos do rei, e se bem parecer ao rei conceder-me a minha petição, e cumprir o meu desejo, venha o rei com Hamã ao banquete que lhes hei de preparar, e amanhã farei conforme a palavra do rei.
我若在王眼前蒙恩,王若願意賜我所要的,准我所求的,就請王和 哈曼 再赴我為你們預備的宴席。明日我必照王的話去做。」
