以斯

西德尼和以斯帖正在规划一顿12个人的圣诞大餐。

Sidney and Esther are planning a Christmas lunch for12 people .

凡看见以斯帖的都喜悦她。

And Esther won the favor of everyone who saw her .

这个以斯帖比瓦实提更加不尊重您。

This Esther has dishonored you more than Vashti ever could .

以斯帖就吩咐人回报末底改说。

Then Esther sent them back to Mordecai with this answer .

以斯帖派末底改管理哈曼的家产。

And Esther set Mordecai over the house of Haman .

于是末底改照以斯帖一切所吩咐的去行。

So Mordecai went away and did everything as Esther had said .

以斯拉回来了吗还没回来

Is Ezra back ? No , he 's not .

以斯和她的室内装潢师购物去了。

Esther went out shopping with her interior decorator .

以斯帖：别说这个，你还负责往火鸡里填料吗？

Esther : Don 't remind me ! Will you do the stuffing ?

以斯帖：我们需要只大火鸡。

Esther : We 'll need a big bird .

以斯帖：我也需要你帮着端茶倒水。

Esther : And I need you to serve the drink , too .

你可以看看圣经人物的例子，例如大卫、摩西、路得、或以斯帖。

Think about biblical characters like David or Moses or Ruth or Esther .

人就把以斯帖这话告诉末底改。

And they said these words to mordecai .

像以斯贴一样，神造你是为了'现今的机会'。

Like Esther , God created you ` for such a time as this .

1王和哈曼进去，与王后以斯帖一同宴饮。

So the king and Haman went in to feast with Esther the queen .

王后以斯帖啊，你一定有所求？

Why have you come , Queen Esther ? You must have some request ?

国王带着哈曼来赴王后以斯帖的筵席。

So the king and Haman came to take wine with Esther the queen .

以斯帖则是嫁给外邦人的犹太女子，并因此救了她的民族。

Esther was a Jew who married a Gentile and saved her own nation .

以斯帖的波斯名字是。

The Persian name for Esther was Hadassah .

如果当时是以斯拉开的门

if Ezra would 've opened that door --

王后以斯帖听闻末底改的哀恸，却不明所以。

When Queen Esther heard of Mordecai 's condition , she couldn 't understand it .

以斯帖：需要只大火鸡。这周我最好就订一只。

Esther : We'llneed a big bird . I 'd better order it this week .

以斯帖是个很好的巴比伦人名。

Esther is a good Babylonian name .

于是王带着哈曼赴以斯帖所预备的筵席。

So the king and Haman came to the feast which Esther had made ready .

在席间，王再问以斯帖实在想要甚麽。

Then at the banquet table , the king asks Esther again what she really wants .

暗兰族，以斯哈族，希伯伦族，乌泄族也有职分。

Of the amramites , of the izharites , of the hebronites , of the uzzielites .

过了一会，他从御园回来，却看见哈曼求以斯帖救命。

In a few minutes he returned , only to find Haman begging Esther for his life .

末底改也来到王面前，因为以斯帖已经把末底改是她什么亲属，告诉了王。

And Mordecai came before the king , for Esther had disclosed what he was to her .

以斯帖的意思是金星。她的波斯名字的意思是桃金娘。

Esther in Hebrew means : The planet Venus and her Persian name Hadassah means : Myrtle .

还有什么比以斯帖面对邪恶的君王时更具戏剧性的场面呢？

Could there be anything more dramatic than the scene in which Esther stands before her wicked lord ?
