Esther 7
1 So the king and Aman went in, to drink with the queen.
Aa le nimb’ amy sabadidakey mb’eo i mpanjakay naho i Hamane mitraok’ amy Estere mpanjaka-ampela.
2 And the king said to her again the second day, after he was warm with wine: What is thy petition, Esther, that it may be granted thee? and what wilt thou have done: although thou ask the half of my kingdom, thou shalt have it.
Le nanao ty hoe amy Estere indraike i mpanjakay amy andro faharoey amy fanjotsoañe divaiy: Ndra inoñe ty halali’o, Estere mpanjaka-ampela, le hatolotse azo; vaho ndra inoñ’inoñ’ o salalae’oo, le hanoeñe ampara’ ty vakim-pifeheañe.
3 Then she answered: If I have found Favour in thy sight, O king, and if it please thee, give me my life for which I ask, and my people for which I request.
Nanoiñe amy zao t’i Estere mpanjaka-ampela: Aa naho nanjo fañisohañe am-pahaoniña’o iraho ry mpanjaka, lehe mahafale i mpanjakay, le inao ty halaliko te hatolotse ahy ty fiaiko; toe ty fiai’ ondatikoo ro hàtako;
4 For we are given up, I and my people, to be destroyed, to be slain, and to perish. And would God we were sold for bondmen and bondwomen: the evil might be borne with, and I would have mourned in silence: but now we have an enemy, whose cruelty redoundeth upon the king.
amy t’ie naletake, izaho naho ondatikoo, ho mongoreñe, ho zamaneñe vaho hampikoromaheñe; fa naho naletake ho ondevo-lahy naho ondevo-ampela le ho nitsiñe iraho ndra te tsy ho nilefe’ i rafelahiy havahañe ty ho nimotso amy mpanjakay.
5 And king Assuerus answered and said: Who is this, and of what power, that he should do these things?
Nisaontsy amy zao t’i Akasverose mpanjaka, nanao ty hoe amy Estere mpanjaka-ampela: Ia v’izao, aia re, te mahavany izay an-tro’e ao?
6 And Esther said: It is this Aman that is our adversary and most wicked enemy. Aman hearing this was forthwith astonished, not being able to bear the countenance of the king and of the queen.
Le hoe t’i Estere: O rafelahy naho sadiavaheo, ty lo-tsereke Hamane tia. Nianifañe aolo’ i mpanjakay naho i mpanjaka-ampelay amy zao t’i Hamane.
7 But the king being angry rose up, and went from the place of the banquet into the garden set with trees. Aman also rose up to entreat Esther the queen for his life, for he understood that evil was prepared for him by the king.
Niongak’ amy fanjotsoañe divaiy am-piforoforoa’e amy zao i mpanjakay, niakatse mb’an-kiririsa’ i anjombay; fe tambatse eo t’i Hamane nihalaly ty fiai’e amy Estere mpanjaka-ampela; fa napota’e te hankàñe ty fisafiria’ i mpanjakay.
8 And when the king came back out of the garden set with trees, and entered into the place of the banquet, he found Aman was fallen upon the bed on which Esther lay, and he said: He will force the queen also in my presence, in my own house. The word was not yet gone out of the king’s mouth, and immediately they covered his face.
Nibalik’ amy zao boak’ an-kiririsan’ anjomba ao mb’amy fanjotsoañe divaiy mb’eo i mpanjakay, ie nibabok’ an-tihi’i Estere eo t’i Hamane. Le hoe i mpanjakay: Aa ho vahora’o añ’atrefako etoa ka hao añ’ anjomba atoy o mpanjaka-ampelao? Ie nienga i falie’ey i saontsiy le sinaro’ iareo ty lahara’ i Hamane.
9 And Harbona, one of the eunuchs that stood waiting on the king, said: Behold the gibbet which he hath prepared for Mardochai, who spoke for the king, standeth in Aman’s house, being fifty cubits high. And the king said to him: Hang him upon it.
Le hoe t’i Harbonà, raik’ amo mpiatrak’ aolo’ i mpanjakaio, Inao! mitroatse añ’ anjomba’ i Hamane ey ty fampiradoradoañe limampolo kiho mañambone, rinanji’ i Hamane ho a i Mordekay nitaron-kasoa i mpanjakaiy. Le hoe i mpanjakay, Aradoradò ama’e.
10 So Aman was hanged on the gibbet, which he had prepared for Mardochai: and the king’s wrath ceased.
Aa le naradorado’ iereo amy firadoradoañe nihentseña’e ho a i Mordekaiy t’i Hamane; vaho nanintsiñe ty haviñera’ i mpanjakay.
