And the king said again unto Esther on the second day at the banquet of wine, What is thy petition, queen Esther? and it shall be granted thee: and what is thy request? and it shall be performed, even to the half of the kingdom.
Al segundo día, mientras bebían vino en el banquete, el rey le preguntó otra vez a Ester: '¿Qué deseas, reina Ester? Te lo daré. ¿Qué me pides? Lo haré, aunque sea la mitad de mi reino.'
El rey le ofreció generosamente a la reina Ester cualquier cosa que pidiera, hasta la mitad de su reino.
