Esther 5
1 Now on the third day, Esther put on her queen's robes, and took her place in the inner room of the king's house, facing the king's house: and the king was seated on his high seat in the king's house, facing the doorway of the house.
तिन दिनपछि एस्तरले आफ्नो राजकीय पोशाक पहिरिन्, र राजदरबारको सामु रहेको चोकमा खडा हुन गइन् । राजाचाहिँ राजदरबारको राजकीय सिंहासनमा बसेर मूल ढोकातर्फ हेरिरहेका थिए ।
2 And when the king saw Esther the queen waiting in the inner room, looking kindly on her he put out the rod of gold in his hand to her. So Esther came near and put her fingers on the top of the rod.
जब राजाले एस्तरलाई चोकमा खडा भएको देखे, तब तिनका नजरमा उनले स्वीकृति पाइन् । तिनले आफ्नो हातमा भएको सुनको राजदण्ड उनीतिर पसारे । त्यसैले एस्तर नजिक गइन् र राजदण्डको टुप्पोलाई छोइन् ।
3 Then the king said, What is your desire, Queen Esther, and what is your request? I will give it to you, even to the half of my kingdom.
तब राजाले उनलाई भने, “रानी एस्तर, तिमी के चाहन्छ्यौ? तिम्रो अनुरोध के छ? मेरो आधा राज्यसम्म पनि म तिमीलाई दिनेछु ।”
4 And Esther in answer said, If it seems good to the king, let the king and Haman come today to the feast which I have made ready for him.
एस्तरले भनिन्, “राजालाई खुसी लागेमा मैले हजुरको निम्ति तयार पारेको भोजमा हजुर र हामानको सवारी होस् ।”
5 Then the king said, Let Haman come quickly, so that what Esther has said may be done. So the king and Haman came to the feast which Esther had made ready.
तब राजाले भने, “एस्तरले भनेकी कुरा गर्न हामानलाई झट्टै ल्याओ ।” त्यसैले राजा र हामान एस्तरले तयार पारेको भोजमा गए ।
6 And while they were drinking wine the king said to Esther, What is your prayer? for it will be given to you and what is your request? for it will be done, even to the half of my kingdom.
भोजमा दाखमद्य टक्र्याइँदा राजाले एस्तरलाई भने, “तिम्रो बिन्ती के हो? त्यो तिमीलाई दिइनेछ । तिम्रो अनुरोध के हो? तिमीलाई आधा राज्यसम्म पनि दिइनेछ ।”
7 Then Esther said in answer, My prayer and my request is this:
एस्तरले जवाफ दिइन्, “मेरो बिन्ती र मेरो अनुरोध यही हो,
8 If I have the king's approval, and if it is the king's pleasure to give me my prayer and do my request, let the king and Haman come to the feast which I will make ready for them, and tomorrow I will do as the king has said.
मैले राजाको दृष्टिमा निगाह प्राप्त गरेकी छु भने र राजालाई मेरो बिन्ती पुरा गर्न र मेरो अनुरोधलाई आदर गर्न खुसी लाग्यो भने मैले हजुरको निम्ति भोली तयार गर्ने भोजमा राजा र हामानको सवारी होस्, अनि म राजाको प्रश्नको जवाफ दिनेछु ।”
9 Then on that day Haman went out full of joy and glad in heart; but when he saw Mordecai in the king's doorway, and he did not get to his feet or give any sign of fear before him, Haman was full of wrath against Mordecai.
त्यस दिन हामान आनन्दित र हृदयमा प्रसन्न भएर गए । तर जब हामानले राजाको ढोकामा मोर्दकैलाई न खडा भएको न त तिनको सामु डरले थरथर काँपेको देखे, तब तिनी मोर्दकैको विरुद्धमा रिसले चुर भए ।
10 But controlling himself, he went to his house; and he sent for his friends and Zeresh, his wife.
तापनि हामानले आफैलाई नियन्त्रण गरी आफ्नो घर लागे । तिनले आफ्ना मित्रहरूलाई खबर पठाए र आफ्नी पत्नी जेरेशसहित तिनीहरूलाई एकसाथ भेला गरे ।
11 And he gave them an account of the glories of his wealth, and the number of children he had, and the ways in which he had been honoured by the king, and how he had put him over the captains and servants of the king.
हामानले तिनीहरूलाई आफ्नो धनदौलतको रवाफ, आफ्ना धेरै जना छोराहरू, राजाले तिनलाई दिएका सबै पदोन्नति अनि राजाका सबै अधिकारी र सेवकहरूभन्दा बढी तिनको प्रगति कसरी भयो भनेर बयान दिए ।
12 And Haman said further, Truly, Esther the queen let no man but myself come in to the feast which she had made ready for the king; and tomorrow again I am to be her guest with the king.
हामानले भने, “रानी एस्तरले तयार पार्नुभएको भोजमा उहाँले राजासँगै आउन मबाहेक अरू कसैलाई निमन्त्रणा दिनुभएन । भोली पनि उहाँले राजासँगै मलाई निमन्त्रणा दिनुभएको छ ।
13 But all this is nothing to me while I see Mordecai the Jew seated by the king's doorway.
तर मैले मोर्दकैलाई राजाको ढोकामा बसिरहेको देखेसम्म मेरा लागि यी सबै कुराले कुनै अर्थ राख्दैन ।”
14 Then his wife Zeresh and all his friends said to him, Let a pillar, fifty cubits high, be made ready for hanging him, and in the morning get the king to give orders for the hanging of Mordecai: then you will be able to go to the feast with the king with a glad heart. And Haman was pleased with the suggestion, and he had the pillar made.
तर तिनकी पत्नी जेरेशले हामान र तिनका सबै मित्रहरूलाई भनिन्, “तिनीहरूले पच्चिस मिटर अग्लो एउटा फाँसीको काठ बनाऊन् । बिहान मोर्दकैलाई त्यसमा झुण्ड्याउन राजासित कुरा गर्नुहोस् । तब आनन्दित भएर राजासँगै भोजमा जानुहोस् ।” हामानलाई यो कुरा मन पर्यो, र तिनले एउटा फाँसीको काठ बनाउन लगाए ।
