Esther 7
1 So the king and Haman came to banquet with Esther the queen.
Enti, ɔhene no ne Haman kɔɔ Ɔhemmaa Ɛster apontoɔ no.
2 The king said again to Esther on the second day at the banquet of wine, “What is your petition, queen Esther? It shall be granted you. What is your request? Even to the half of the kingdom it shall be performed.”
Na ɛberɛ a wɔrenonom nsã saa da no, bio, ɔhene no ka kyerɛɛ no sɛ, “Ɔhemmaa Ɛster, kyerɛ me deɛ wopɛ. Wʼabisadeɛ ne sɛn? Sɛ ɛyɛ ahemman yi mu fa koraa a, mede bɛma wo!”
3 Then Esther the queen answered, “If I have found favor in your sight, O king, and if it pleases the king, let my life be given me at my petition, and my people at my request.
Ɔhemmaa Ɛster buaa sɛ, “Sɛ Ɔhene kɛseɛ ani gye me ho, na ɔpɛ sɛ ɔyɛ mʼabisadeɛ ma me a, mʼadesrɛ ara ne sɛ, ɔbɛgyaa me nkwa ne me manfoɔ nkwa mu ama yɛn.
4 For we are sold, I and my people, to be destroyed, to be slain, and to perish. But if we had been sold for male and female slaves, I would have held my peace, although the adversary could not have compensated for the king’s loss.”
Ɛfiri sɛ, wɔatɔn me ne me manfoɔ ama nnipa a wɔbɛkunkum yɛn, atɔre yɛn ase. Sɛ wɔtɔn yɛn sɛ nkoa kɛkɛ mpo a, anka mɛtena dinn, ɛfiri sɛ, ɛno deɛ, ɛyɛ asɛm kumaa bi a ɛho nhia sɛ wɔde kɔdan ɔhene.”
5 Then King Ahasuerus said to Esther the queen, “Who is he, and where is he who dared presume in his heart to do so?”
Ɔhene Ahasweros bisaa sɛ, “Hwan na ɔbɛyɛ saa? Na hwan na ɔbɛtumi de ne nsa aka wo?”
6 Esther said, “An adversary and an enemy, even this wicked Haman!” Then Haman was afraid before the king and the queen.
Ɛster buaa sɛ, “Saa omumuyɛfoɔ ne ɔtamfoɔ yi ne animguaseni Haman.” Ehu maa Haman too hoa wɔ ɔhene ne ɔhemmaa no anim.
7 The king arose in his wrath from the banquet of wine and went into the palace garden. Haman stood up to make request for his life to Esther the queen, for he saw that there was evil determined against him by the king.
Ɔhene no de abufuo huri gyinaa ne nan so, na ɔkɔɔ ahemfie hɔ turo mu. Na Haman kaa hɔ, dwane toaa Ɔhemmaa Ɛster sɛ ɔnsrɛ ne nkwa mma no, ɛfiri sɛ, na ɔnim sɛ nʼawieeɛ aduru.
8 Then the king returned out of the palace garden into the place of the banquet of wine; and Haman had fallen on the couch where Esther was. Then the king said, “Will he even assault the queen in front of me in the house?” As the word went out of the king’s mouth, they covered Haman’s face.
Ɔde abasamutuo bu hwee Ɔhemmaa Ɛster mpa a ɔrehome so no so. Ɛhɔ ara na ɔhene no nso firii ahemfie no turo mu hɔ baeɛ. Ɔhene no bobɔɔ mu sɛ, “Hwɛ ɔrebɛboro ɔhemmaa yi wɔ ahemfie ha, wɔ mʼani so ha nso?” Ɔhene no kasa wieeɛ ara pɛ, nʼasomfoɔ no kataa Haman anim a ɛkyerɛ sɛ, nʼawieeɛ aduru.
9 Then Harbonah, one of the eunuchs who were with the king, said, “Behold, the gallows fifty cubits high, which Haman has made for Mordecai, who spoke good for the king, is standing at Haman’s house.” The king said, “Hang him on it!”
Na Harbona a ɔyɛ ɔhene no apiafoɔ no mu baako kaa sɛ, “Haman asi dua a ne ɔsorokɔ yɛ anammɔn aduɔson enum wɔ ɔno ara nʼadihɔ. Na nʼadwene ne sɛ, ɔbɛsɛn Mordekai a ɔgyee ɔhene nkwa no wɔ so.” Afei, ɔhene no kaa sɛ, “Monsɛn Haman wɔ so.”
10 So they hanged Haman on the gallows that he had prepared for Mordecai. Then the king’s wrath was pacified.
Enti, wɔsɛnee Haman wɔ dua no a ɔsi maa Mordekai no so, maa ɔhene no bo dwoeɛ.
