Esther 7
1 And so the king and Haman entered to drink with the queen.
HELE mai la no hoi ke alii a me Hamana e ahainu me Esetera.
2 And the king said to her again on the second day, after he was warmed with wine, “What is your request, Esther, so that it may be given to you? And what do you want done? Even if you ask for half of my kingdom, you will obtain it.”
Ninau hou mai la ke alii ia Esetera, i ka lua o ka la ma ka ahainuwaina, Heaha kau mea e nonoi mai ai, e ke alii wahine, e Esetera? E haawiia no ia ia oe. A heaha hoi kau kauoha? E hanaia no ia, ina paha o ka hapalua ia o ke aupuni.
3 She answered him, “If I have found favor in your eyes, O king, and if it pleases you, spare my soul, I ask you, and spare my people, I beg you.
Olelo aku la o Esetera o ke alii wahine, i aku la, Ina i loaa ia'u ke alohaia mai, imua ou, e ke alii, a ina i lealea ke alii, alaila e haawiia ko'u ola no'u ma kuu nonoi ana, a me ko'u lahuikanaka hoi, ma ka'u kauoha.
4 For I and my people have been handed over to be crushed, to be slain, and to perish. And if we were only being sold as servants and slaves, the evil might be tolerable, and I would have mourned in silence. But now our enemy is one whose cruelty overflows upon the king.”
No ka mea, ua kuaiia e lilo aku makou, owau, a me ko'u lahuikanaka, e lukuia, a e pepehiia hoi a make. Ina ua kuaiia a lilo aku makou i poe kauwakane, a i poe kauwawahine, ina ua olelo ole au, e hiki ole nae i ka enemi e pani i ka hakahaka o ko ke alii mea poho.
5 And king Artaxerxes answered and said, “Who is this, and of what power, that he would dare to do these things?”
Alaila, olelo mai ke alii, o Ahasuero, ninau mai la ia Esetera, i ke alii wahine, Owai la ia, auhea la hoi ka mea i hoopiha i kona naau, e hana pela?
6 And Esther said, “This is our most wicked enemy and foe: Haman!” Hearing this, Haman was suddenly dumbfounded, unable to bear the faces of the king and the queen.
I aku la o Esetera, O ka enemi ka mea i ku e mai, o keia Hamana hewa no. Alaila, makau o Hamana imua i ke alo o ke alii, a me ke alii wahine.
7 But the king, being angry, rose up and, from the place of the feast, entered into the arboretum of the garden. Haman likewise rose up to entreat Esther the queen for his soul, for he understood that evil was prepared for him by the king.
Ku ae la ke alii mai ka ahainuwaina, me ka huhu, a hele aku la i ka pakanu o ka hale alii: a ku mai la Hamana imua o Esetera, ke alii wahine, e nonoi ia ia i ke, ola nona; no ka mea, ua ike oia, ua hoomakaukauia ka hewa nona, e ke alii.
8 When the king returned from the arboretum of the garden and entered into the place of the feast, he found Haman collapsed on the couch on which Esther lay, and he said, “And now he wishes to oppress the queen, in my presence, in my house!” The word had not yet gone out of the king’s mouth, and immediately they covered his face.
A hoi mai la ke alii mai ka pakanu o ka hale alii, a i kahi o ka ahainuwaina: ua hina o Hamana maluna o kahi i moe ai o Esetera. Alaila, i iho la ke alii, E pue anei oia i ke alii wahine, imua o ko'u alo iloko o ka hale? A puka aku la ia olelo iwaho o ka waha o ke alii, uhi iho la lakou i ka maka o Hamana.
9 And Harbona, one of the eunuchs who stood in ministry to the king, said, “Behold the wood, which he had prepared for Mordecai, who spoke up on behalf of the king, stands in Haman’s house, having a height of fifty cubits.” The king said to him, “Hang him from it.”
A olelo mai no hoi o Harebona, kekahi o na luna imua o ke alii, Aia hoi ke olokea, he kanalima kubita ke kiekie, ka mea a Hamana i hana'i no Moredekai, ka mea i olelo i ka maikai no ke alii, ke ku la no maloko o ka hale o Hamana. Alaila, i mai la ke alii, E liia oia nei maluna olaila.
10 And so Haman was hanged on the gallows, which he had prepared for Mordecai, and the king’s anger was quieted.
A li lakou ia Hamana ma ke olokea ana i hoomakaukau ai no Moredekai. Alaila, ua pau ka huhu o ke alii.
