Esther 5
1 Now it came to pass on the third day, that Esther put on [her] royal [apparel], and stood in the inner court of the king’s house, over against the king’s house: and the king sat upon his royal throne in the royal house, over against the gate of the house.
Kalpasan iti tallo nga aldaw, inkawes ni Ester ti pagan-anayna kas reyna ken napan nagtakder iti akin uneg a paraangan ti palasio ti ari, iti sangoanan iti balay ti ari. Nakatugaw ti ari iti tronona iti balayna, a nakasango iti pagserkan iti balay.
2 And it was so, when the king saw Esther the queen standing in the court, [that] she obtained favour in his sight: and the king held out to Esther the golden sceptre that [was] in his hand. So Esther drew near, and touched the top of the sceptre.
Idi nakita ti ari a nakatakder ni reyna Ester iti paraangan, naay-ayo ti ari kenkuana. Impaturongna kenni Ester ti balitok a setro nga adda iti imana. Immasideg ngarud ni Ester ket sinagidna ti murdong ti setro.
3 And the king said, What wilt thou, Esther? and what is thy request? [ask] even to the half of my kingdom, and it shall be thine.
Ket kinuna ti ari kenkuana, “Ania iti kayatmo, Reyna Ester? Ania iti kiddawem? Agingga iti kagudua ti pagariak, ket maipaayto kenka.”
4 And Esther said, To-day is my great day: if then it seem good to the king, let both him and Aman come to the feast which I will prepare this day.
Kinuna ni Ester, “No makaay-ayo daytoy iti ari, umay koma ita nga aldaw ti ari ken ni Haman iti padaya nga insaganak para iti ari.”
5 And the king said, Hasten Aman hither, that we may perform the word of Esther. So they both come to the feast of which Esther had spoken.
Ket kinuna ti ari, “Iyegyo a dagus ni Haman, tapno maaramid ti imbaga ni Ester.” Napan ngarud ti ari ken ni Haman iti padaya nga insagana ni Ester.
6 And at the banquet the king said to Esther, What is [thy request], queen Esther? [speak], and thou shalt have all that thou requirest.
Idi naidasaren ti arak iti padaya, kinuna ti ari kenni Ester, “Ania ti dawatem? Maipaay daytoy kenka. Ania iti kiddawem? Agingga iti kaguddua ti pagarian, maipaayto kenka.”
7 And she said, My request and my petition [are]:
Simmungbat ni Ester, “Ti dawat ken kiddawko ket daytoy,
8 if I have found favour in the sight of the king, let the king and Aman come again to-morrow to the feast which I shall prepare for them, and to-morrow I will do the same.
no makasarakak iti pabor iti imatang ti ari, ken no maay-ayo ti ari a mangipaay iti dawatek ken padayawanna ti kiddawek. Umay koma ti ari ken ni Haman iti padaya nga isaganakto para kadakayo inton bigat, ket sungbatakto ti saludsod ti ari.”
9 So Aman went out from the king very glad [and] merry: but when Aman saw Mardochæus the Jew in the court, he was greatly enraged.
Rimmuar ni Haman iti dayta nga aldaw a naragsak ken agragrag-o iti pusona. Ngem idi nakita ni Haman ni Mardokeo iti ruangan ti palasio ti ari a saan man laeng a timmakder wenno nagkentayeg iti sangoananna nga addaan iti panagbuteng, napnoan isuna iti gura a maibusor kenni Mardokeo.
10 And having gone into his own house, he called his friends, and his wife Zosara.
Nupay kasta, nagteppel ni Haman ket nagawid iti balayna. Inayabanna dagiti gagayyemna ket naguummongda, a kaduada ni Zeres nga asawana.
11 And he shewed them his wealth, and the glory with which the king had invested him, and how he had caused him to take precedence and bear chief rule in the kingdom.
Imbinsa-binsa ni Haman kadakuada ti kinadayag dagiti kinabaknangna ken ti bilang dagiti adu a putotna a lallaki, no kasano a nangat-ngato isuna kadagiti amin nga opisial ken kadagiti adipen ti ari.
12 And Aman said, The queen has called no one to the feast with the king but me, and I am invited to-morrow.
Kinuna ni Haman, “Uray ni Reyna Ester ket awan ti sabali nga inawisna no di laeng siak a kadua ti ari a napan timmabuno iti padaya nga insaganana. Ken uray inton bigat inawisnak manen a kadua ti ari.
13 But these things please me not, while I see Mardochæus the Jew in the court.
Ngem amin dagitoy a mapadpadasak ket awan serserbina kaniak, agingga a makitkitak ti Judio a ni Mardokeo a nakatugaw iti ruangan ti palasio ti ari.”
14 And Zosara his wife and his friends said to him, Let there be a gallows made for thee of fifty cubits, and in the morning do thou speak to the king, and let Mardochæus be hanged on the gallows: but do thou go in to the feast with the king, and be merry. And the saying pleased Aman, and the gallows was prepared.
Ket kinuna ni Zeres nga asawana kenni Haman ken kadagiti amin a gagayyemna, “Mangpaaramidkayo kadakuada iti pagbitayan a limapulo a kubit ti kangatona. Inton bigat katungtongenyo ti ari a bitayenda ni Mardokeo iti daytoy. Ket mapanka a siraragsak a kadua ti ari iti padaya.” Naay-ayo ni Haman iti daytoy, ket impaaramidna ngarud ti pagbitayan.
