Esther 7
1 The king and Haman went to Queen Esther's dinner.
Ọba àti Hamani sì lọ sí àpèjẹ pẹ̀lú Esteri ayaba,
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!”
bí wọ́n sì ṣe ń mu wáìnì ní ọjọ́ kejì yìí, ọba sì tún béèrè pé, “Esteri ayaba, kí ni ẹ̀bẹ̀ rẹ? A ó sì fi fún ọ. Kí ni ìbéèrè rẹ? Bí ó tilẹ̀ jẹ́ ìdajì ìjọba à mi, n ó fi fún ọ.”
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.
Nígbà náà ni ayaba Esteri dáhùn, “Bí èmi bá rí ojúrere rẹ, ìwọ ọba, bí ó bá sì tẹ́ ọláńlá à rẹ lọ́rùn, fún mi ní ẹ̀mí mi, èyí ni ẹ̀bẹ̀ mi. Kí o sì pa àwọn ènìyàn mi mọ́—èyí ni ìbéèrè mi.
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.”
Nítorí a ti ta èmi àti àwọn ènìyàn mi fún àwọn tí yóò pa wá run, à ti ṣe ìdájọ́ wa fún pípa àti píparẹ́. Bí a bá tilẹ̀ tà wá bí ẹrúkùnrin àti ẹrúbìnrin, ǹ bá dákẹ́, nítorí irú ìpọ́njú bẹ́ẹ̀ kò tó èyí tí à ń yọ ọba lẹ́nu sí.”
5 The king asked Queen Esther, demanding to know, “Who is this? Where is the man who has dared to do this?”
Ọba Ahaswerusi bi Esteri ayaba léèrè pé, “Ta a ni ẹni náà? Níbo ni ẹni náà wà tí kò bẹ̀rù láti ṣe irú nǹkan bẹ́ẹ̀?”
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.
Esteri sọ wí pé, “Alátakò àti ọ̀tá náà ni Hamani aláìníláárí yìí.” Nígbà náà ni Hamani wárìrì níwájú ọba àti ayaba.
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.
Ọba sì dìde pẹ̀lú ìbínú, ó fi wáìnì sílẹ̀ ó sì jáde lọ sí àgbàlá ààfin. Ṣùgbọ́n nígbà tí Hamani, ti rí i dájú pé ọba ti pinnu láti pa òun, ó dúró lẹ́yìn láti bẹ Esteri ayaba nítorí ẹ̀mí rẹ̀.
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.
Bí ọba ṣe padà dé láti àgbàlá ààfin wá sí gbọ̀ngàn àsè náà, Hamani ṣubú sórí àga tí Esteri ayaba fẹ̀yìn tì. Ọba sì pariwo pé, “Yóò ha tún tẹ́ ayaba níbí yìí, nínú ilé, ní ojú mi bí?” Ní kété tí ọba sọ ọ̀rọ̀ yìí jáde, wọ́n da aṣọ bo Hamani lójú.
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.
Nígbà náà Harbona ọ̀kan nínú àwọn ìwẹ̀fà tó ń dúró níwájú ọba, sọ wí pé, “Igi tí ó ga tó ìwọ̀n ẹsẹ̀ bàtà marunlélaadọrin ni Hamani ti rì sí ẹ̀gbẹ́ ilé e rẹ̀. Ó ṣe é fún Mordekai, ẹni tí ó sọ̀rọ̀ jáde láti ṣe ìrànlọ́wọ́ fún ọba.” Ọba wí pé, ẹ so ó rọ̀ sórí i rẹ́!
10 So they impaled Haman on the pole that he had set up for Mordecai. Then the anger of the king died down.
Wọ́n sì so Hamani sórí igi tí ó ti pèsè sílẹ̀ fún Mordekai, ìbínú ọba sì rọ̀.
