Esther 7
1 The king and Haman went to Queen Esther's dinner.
Kwa hiyo mfalme na Hamani wakaenda kausherekea na malkia Esta.
2 At this second dinner, as they were drinking wine, the king asked Esther again, “What are you really asking for, Queen Esther? It will be given to you. What do you want? You shall have it, as much as half my empire!”
Katika siku ya pili, baada ya kuletwa mvinyo, mfalme akamwambia Esta, “Ni nini haja ya moyo wako? Na nini ombi lako? Hata nusu ya ufalme wangu utapewa.”
3 Queen Esther answered, “If the king looks on me favorably, and if it please Your Majesty to grant me my life, that is my request; and the lives of my people, that is what I ask.
Kisha Malkia amwambia mfalme, kama nimepata kibali machoni pako, na kama ikikupendeza, nipewe maisha yangu, na hili ndio haja ya moyo wangu, na hili pia ni ombi kwa watu wangu pia.
4 For my people and I have been sold to be destroyed, killed, and annihilated. If we had only been sold as slaves, I would have kept quiet, because our suffering would not have justified disturbing the king.”
Kwa kuwa mimi na watu wangu tumeuzwa, ili tuharibiwe, tuuwawe, na tungamizwe. Kama tungeuzwa utumwani, kama wanaume na wanawake, ningenyamaza kimya, na nisingeweza kumsumbua mfame.”
5 The king asked Queen Esther, demanding to know, “Who is this? Where is the man who has dared to do this?”
Kisha Mfalme Ahusiero akamwambia malkia Esta, “Ni nani huyo? Ni nani aliyekusudia moyoni mwake kutenda jambo hili?
6 “The man, the opponent, the enemy, is this evil Haman!” Esther replied. Haman shook with terror in front of the king and the queen.
Esta akasema, “Ni huyu mwovu Hamani, adui!” Hamani akashikwa na Hofu mbele za mfalme na malkia.
7 The king was furious. He got up, leaving his wine, and went out into the palace garden. Haman stayed behind to beg for his life from Queen Esther, for he realized the king planned an evil end for him.
Na kwa ghadhabu mfalme akatoka karamuni katika sehemu ya mvinyo na akaenda katika bustani ya ikulu, Lakini Hamani alibaki akimsihi Malkia Esta ili aokoe maisha yake. Kwa sababu aliona mfalme amemkusudia ubaya.
8 When the king came back in from the palace garden to the dining room, Haman had thrown himself on the couch where Queen Esther was. The king shouted out, “Is he even going to rape the queen here in the palace, right in front of me?” As soon as the king said this, the servants covered Haman's face.
Mfalme akarudi kutoka katika bustani ya ikulu, na kuingia katika chumba ambamo kulikuwamo mvinyo. Hamani alikuwa ameanguka chini ya kochi alilokuwa ameketi Esta. Mfalme akakasirika na kusema, “atamdharirisha malkia mbele zangu katika nyumba yangu?” Mara tu maneno haya yalipotoka kinywani mwa mfalme, watumizhi wakafunika uso wa Hamani.
9 Then Harbonah, one of the eunuchs attending the king, said: “Haman set up a pole beside his house for Mordecai, the one whose report saved the king's life. The pole is fifty cubits high.” “Impale him on it!” the king ordered.
Kisha Habona, mmoja wa watumishi aliye mtumikia mfalme akamwambia mfalme, “Mti wenye urefu wa futi hamsini uko nyumbani kwa Hamani. Ulikuwa umeandaliwa kwa ajili ya Modekai, aliye toa taarifa kuhusu mpango wa kuangamizwa kwako.” Mfalme akesema,”Mtundikeni Hamani juu yake.”
10 So they impaled Haman on the pole that he had set up for Mordecai. Then the anger of the king died down.
Kwa hiyo wakamtundika Hamani kwenye mti aliuandaa kwa ajili ya Modekai. Na hasira ya mfalme ikatulia.
