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.
Nangyari nga, nang ikatlong araw, na nagsuot si Esther ng kaniyang bihisang pagkareina, at tumayo sa pinakaloob ng bahay ng hari, sa tapat ng bahay-hari; at ang hari ay naupo sa kaniyang luklukang hari sa bahay-hari, sa tapat ng pasukan sa bahay.
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.
At nagkagayon, nang makita ng hari si Esther na reina na nakatayo sa looban, na siya'y nagtamo ng biyaya sa kaniyang paningin: at inilawit ng hari kay Esther ang gintong cetro na nasa kaniyang kamay. Sa gayo'y lumapit si Esther, at hinipo ang dulo ng cetro.
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.
Nang magkagayo'y sinabi ng hari sa kaniya, Anong ibig mo, reina Esther? at ano ang iyong hiling? mabibigay sa iyo kahit kalahati ng kaharian.
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.
At sinabi ni Esther, Kung inaakalang mabuti ng hari, pumaroon sa araw na ito ang hari at si Aman sa pigingan na aking inihanda sa kaniya.
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.
Nang magkagayo'y sinabi ng hari, Papagmadaliin si Aman upang magawa ang gaya ng sinabi ni Esther. Sa gayo'y naparoon ang hari at si Aman sa pigingan na inihanda ni Esther.
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.
At sinabi ng hari kay Esther sa pigingan ng alak: Ano ang iyong hingi? at ipagkakaloob sa iyo at ano ang iyong hiling? kahit kalahati ng kaharian ay ipagkakaloob.
7 Then Esther said in answer, My prayer and my request is this:
Nang magkagayo'y sumagot si Esther, at nagsabi, Ang aking hingi at ang aking hiling ay ito;
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.
Kung ako'y nakasumpong ng biyaya sa paningin ng hari, at kung kalugdan ng hari na ipagkaloob ang aking hingi, at gawin ang aking hiling, na pumaroon ang hari at si Aman sa pigingan na aking ihahanda sa kanila, at aking gagawin bukas na gaya ng sinabi ng hari.
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.
Nang magkagayo'y lumabas si Aman sa araw na yaon na galak at may masayang puso: nguni't nang makita ni Aman si Mardocheo sa pintuang-daan ng hari, na hindi siya tumayo o kumilos man sa kaniya, siya'y napuno ng pagkapoot laban kay Mardocheo.
10 But controlling himself, he went to his house; and he sent for his friends and Zeresh, his wife.
Gayon may nagpigil si Aman sa kaniyang sarili, at umuwi sa bahay; at siya'y nagsugo at tinipon ang kaniyang mga kaibigan at si Zeres na kaniyang asawa.
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.
At isinaysay ni Aman sa kanila ang kaluwalhatian ng kaniyang mga kayamanan, at ang karamihan ng kaniyang mga anak, at lahat ng bagay na ipinagkaloob ng hari sa kaniya, at kung paanong siya'y nataas ng higit kay sa mga prinsipe at mga lingkod ng hari.
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.
Sinabi ni Aman, bukod dito: Oo, si Esther na reina ay hindi nagpasok ng sinoman na kasama ng hari sa pigingan na kaniyang inihanda kundi ako lamang; at kinabukasan naman ay inaanyayahan niya ako na kasama ng hari.
13 But all this is nothing to me while I see Mordecai the Jew seated by the king's doorway.
Gayon ma'y ang lahat ng ito'y walang kabuluhan sa akin habang aking nakikita si Mardocheo na Judio na nakaupo sa pintuang-daan ng hari.
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.
Nang magkagayo'y sinabi ni Zeres na kaniyang asawa at ng lahat niyang kaibigan sa kaniya: Magpagawa ka ng isang bibitayan na may limang pung siko ang taas, at sa kinaumagahan ay salitain mo sa hari na bitayin doon si Mardocheo: kung magkagayo'y yumaon kang masaya na kasama ng hari sa pigingan. At ang bagay ay nakalugod kay Aman; at kaniyang ipinagawa ang bibitayan.
