Eseda 5
1 Eseda da ha: i mae nawane esaloba, eso osodaga, e da ea hina bagade uda abula sanawane, hina bagade ea diasu gagoi ganodini sa: ili, hina bagade ea fisu sesei amo midadi lelu. Hina bagade da amo sesei ganodini, ea fisu da: iya fila heda: le, hagomodini ba: le gale esalebe ba: i.
On the third day, Esther put on her royal attire and stood in the inner court of the palace across from the king’s quarters. The king was sitting on his royal throne in the royal courtroom, facing the entrance.
2 Hina bagade da hina bagade idua Eseda gadili lelebe ba: beba: le, e da ema asigiba: le, ea gouli hamoi galiamo Eseda ema disiagai. Amalalu, Eseda da misini, galiamo bidiga digili ba: i.
As soon as the king saw Queen Esther standing in the court, she found favor in his sight. The king extended the gold scepter in his hand toward Esther, and she approached and touched the tip of the scepter.
3 Hina bagade Segesisi da amane adole ba: i, “Hina bagade uda Eseda! Di adi lamu? Dia hanai nama adosea, na da amo defele dima imunu. Di da na fifi asi gala dogoa fili la: idi afae lamusa: dawa: sea, na da amo dima imunu.”
“What is it, Queen Esther?” the king inquired. “What is your request? Even up to half the kingdom, it will be given to you.”
4 Eseda da bu adole i, “Hina bagade! Di da hanai galea, na da di amola Ha: ima: ne da lolo nabe na da aligili hamonana, amoga ali hiougimusa: dawa: lala.”
“If it pleases the king,” Esther replied, “may the king and Haman come today to the banquet I have prepared for the king.”
5 Hina bagade da amo sia: hahawane nababeba: le, e da Ha: ima: nema e da hedolo Eseda ea lolo nabe amoga misa: ne sia: i. Ela da lolo manusa: asi.
“Hurry,” commanded the king, “and bring Haman, so we can do as Esther has requested.” So the king and Haman went to the banquet that Esther had prepared.
6 Ilia da waini hano nanoba, hina bagade da Esedama amane adole ba: i, “Di da dia hanai nama adole ba: sea, na da dia hanai dima imunu. Di da na fifi asi gala huluane dogoa fili la: idi afae lamusa: adole ba: sea, na da amo defele dima imunu.”
And as they drank their wine, the king said to Esther, “What is your petition? It will be given to you. What is your request? Even up to half the kingdom, it will be fulfilled.”
Esther replied, “This is my petition and my request:
8 Eseda da bu adole i, “Di da na adole ba: su amoma asigi galea, na da di amola Ha: ima: ne aligili aya ha: i manu aowamu. Amogala, na dawa: i liligi dima adole imunu.”
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, may the king and Haman come tomorrow to the banquet I will prepare for them. Then I will answer the king’s question.”
9 Ha: ima: ne da lolo nabe yolesili, hahawane asi. Be e da Modigai da hina bagade ea diasu logo holei gadenene esalebe ba: i. Amola Modigai da hame wa: legadobeba: le, amola ema hame nodobeba: le, Ha: ima: ne da ougi bagade ba: i.
That day Haman went out full of joy and glad of heart. At the king’s gate, however, he saw Mordecai, who did not rise or tremble in fear at his presence. And Haman was filled with rage toward Mordecai.
10 Be e da hi ougi amowane denesini, hi diasuga asi. Amalalu, ea dogolegei dunu ea diasua misa: ne sia: si. Amola e da idua Silese, amo ili gilisili sia: sa: imusa: wei.
Nevertheless, Haman restrained himself and went home. And calling for his friends and his wife Zeresh,
11 E da idua amola ea dogolegei, ilia ba: ma: ne hidai. E da muni bagade gagui, amola dunu mano bagohame galu, amola hina bagade da ea hawa: hamosu gaguia gadoi, amola ea hou da eagene ouligisu dunu eno huluane ilia hou baligi dagoi, e agoane hidai.
Haman recounted to them his glorious wealth, his many sons, and all the ways the king had honored and promoted him over the other officials and servants.
12 Amola e da eno amane hidale sia: i, “Hina bagade idua Eseda da aya lolo manu, amo da enogili hame, be hina bagade ani fawane hiougi.
“What is more,” Haman added, “Queen Esther invited no one but me to join the king at the banquet she prepared, and I am invited back tomorrow along with the king.
13 Be na da Yu dunu Modigai amo hina bagade ea diasu logo holei gadenene esalebe ba: lalebeba: le, na da eno liligi noga: i mae dawa: le, hahawane hame ba: sa.”
Yet none of this satisfies me as long as I see Mordecai the Jew sitting at the king’s gate.”
14 Amaiba: le, ea uda amola ea dogolegei da ema amane sia: i, “Di da dia hawa: hamosu dunu ilima, ilia da ifa duni bugi sedade gadole defei 22 mida amoga, dunu hegoa: nesima: ne fugalesu, amo ilia da gaguma: ne sia: ma. Aya hahabe, di da hina bagadema amane adole ba: ma, ‘Dia hawa: hamosu dunu da Modigai bogoma: ne, ifa duni bugi amoga hegoa: nesimu da defeala: ?’ amane dia adole ba: ma.” Ha: ima: ne da amo sia: noga: iale dawa: i. Amaiba: le, e da sia: beba: le, ea hawa: hamosu dunu da amo ifa hegoa: nesisu gagui dagoi.
His wife Zeresh and all his friends told him, “Have them build a gallows fifty cubits high, and ask the king in the morning to have Mordecai hanged on it. Then go to the banquet with the king and enjoy yourself.” The advice pleased Haman, and he had the gallows constructed.
