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 regalia and stood in the inner court of the royal palace opposite the king’s house. The king was sitting on his throne in the palace, opposite 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.
When he saw Esther the queen standing in the court, she won his favor, and he held out to her the golden sceptre that was in his hand. So Esther approached and touched the top of the sceptre.
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.”
Then the king said to her, “What is it, Queen Esther? Whatever your request is, it will be granted, even if it is the half of the kingdom.”
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 seems best to the king,” Esther said, “let the king and Haman come today to the banquet that I have prepared for him.”
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.
Then the king ordered, “Bring Haman quickly, so that Esther’s wish may be gratified.” 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.”
While they were drinking wine, the king said to Esther, “Whatever your petition is, it will be granted. Your request, it will be done – even if it takes half of my kingdom.”
Esther answered,
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 won the king’s favor and if it seems best to the king to grant my petition and to accede to my request, my petition and my request are that the king and Haman come to the banquet which I will prepare for them. Tomorrow I will answer the king’s question as he wishes.”
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.
Haman went out that day joyful and elated, but when he saw Mordecai in the king’s gate and noticed that he neither stood up nor moved for him, he was furiously angry with 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. He called together his friends and Zeresh his wife
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.
and recounted to them the greatness of his wealth, how many children he had, and all the ways in which the king had honored him, and how he had promoted him above the officials and the royal courtiers.
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 said, “Queen Esther brought no one in with the king to the banquet which she had prepared except me, and tomorrow also I am invited by her 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 all this does not satisfy 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.
Then Zeresh his wife and all his friends said to him, “Let a gallows seventy-five feet high be erected, and in the morning speak to the king and let Mordecai be hanged on it. Then go merrily with the king to the banquet.” The advice pleased Haman, and so he had the gallows erected.
