und wie Esther zum König gegangen war und derselbe durch Briefe geboten hatte, daß seine bösen Anschläge, die er wider die Juden gedacht, auf seinen Kopf gekehrt würden; und wie man ihn und seine Söhne an den Baum gehängt hatte.
Mas como Esther vino a la presencia del rey, él intimó por carta: El perverso designio que aquél trazó contra los Judíos, recaiga sobre su cabeza; y cuélguenlo a él y a sus hijos en la horca.
Pero cuando Ester se presentó ante el rey, este ordenó por escrito que el perverso plan que Amán había tramado contra los judíos recayera sobre su propia cabeza. Lo colgaron a él y a sus hijos del madero.
mais Esther s'étant présentée devant le roi, le roi ordonna par écrit de faire retomber sur la tête d'Haman le méchant projet qu'il avait formé contre les Juifs, et de le pendre au bois, lui et ses fils.
Ma dopo ch’Ester fu venuta in presenza del re, egli ordinò con lettere, che la scellerata macchinazione che Haman avea fatta contro a’ Giudei, fosse rivolta in sul capo di lui stesso; e ch’egli co’ suoi figliuoli, fosse appiccato al legno.
Mas, vindo isto perante o rei, mandou ele por cartas que o mau intento que Hamã formara contra os judeus, se tornasse sobre a sua cabeça; pelo que penduraram a ele e a seus filhos numa forca.
但這陰謀 到了王面前,王卻降旨使 哈曼 謀害 猶太 人的惡事歸到他自己的頭上,他和他的眾子都被掛在木架上。
