Esther 5
1 And on the third day Ester put on her royal apparel, and stood in the court of the Kings palace within, ouer against the Kings house: and the King sate vpon his royal throne in the Kings palace ouer against the gate of the house.
Na i te toru o nga ra ka kakahuria e Ehetere ona kakahu kuini, a tu ana ia i te marae o roto o te whare o te kingi, i te ritenga atu o te whare o te kingi; ko te kingi hoki e noho ana i runga i te torona o tona kingitanga i te whare kingi, i te r itenga mai o te tatau o te whare.
2 And when the King saw Ester the Queene standing in the court, shee founde fauour in his sight: and the King held out the golden scepter that was in his hand: so Ester drewe neere, and touched the toppe of the scepter.
A, i te kitenga atu o te kingi i a Ehetere, i te kuini, e tu ana i te marae ka manakohia ia e ia, a ka torona mai e te kingi te hepeta koura i tona ringa ki a Ehetere. Heoi ka whakatata atu a Ehetere, a ka pa ki te pito o te hepeta.
3 Then saide the King vnto her, What wilt thou, Queene Ester? and what is thy request? it shall be euen giuen thee to the halfe of ye kingdome.
Katahi ka mea te kingi ki a ia, He aha tau mea, e te kuini, e Ehetere? he aha hoki te mea e tonoa nei e koe? ahakoa ko te hawhe o te kingitanga, ka hoatu ki a koe.
4 Then saide Ester, If it please the King, let the King and Haman come this day vnto the banket, that I haue prepared for him.
Ano ra ko Ehetere, Ki te mea he pai ki ta te kingi, kia haere mai te kingi raua ko Hamana aianei ki te hakari kua oti i ahau te taka mana.
5 And the King sayd, Cause Haman to make haste that he may doe as Ester hath sayde. So the King and Haman came to the banket that Ester had prepared.
Ano ra ko te kingi, Whakahohorotia a Hamana hei mea i ta Ehetere i ki ai. Na haere ana te kingi raua ko Hamana ki te hakari kua oti nei te taka e Ehetere.
6 And the King sayd vnto Ester at the banket of wine, What is thy petition, that it may be giuen thee? and what is thy request? it shall euen be performed vnto the halfe of the kingdome.
A ka mea te kingi ki a Ehetere i te mea e inu waina ana, He aha tau e mea nei mau? ka hoatu ano ki a koe: he aha hoki tau e tono nei? ahakoa ko te hawhe o te kingitanga, ka meatia.
7 Then answered Ester, and sayd, My petition and my request is,
Katahi ka whakautu a Ehetere, ka mea, Ko taku i mea ai maku, ko taku i tono ai,
8 If I haue found fauour in the sight of the King, and if it please the King to giue me my petition, and to perfourme my request, let the King and Haman come to the banket that I shall prepare for them, and I will doe to morowe according to the Kings saying.
Ki te mea kua manakohia ahau e te kingi, ki te pai te kingi kia homai taku i mea ai maku, kia meatia taku i tono ai, me haere mai te kingi raua ko Hamana ki te hakari e taka e ahau ma raua; a, apopo ka whakaritea e ahau te kupu a te kingi.
9 Then went Haman forth the same day ioyfull and with a glad heart. But when Haman sawe Mordecai in the Kings gate, that he stoode not vp, nor moued for him, then was Haman full of indignation at Mordecai.
Na ka puta atu a Hamana ki waho i taua ra me te koa, me te pai o te ngakau. Kei te kitenga ia o Hamana i a Mororekai i te kuwaha o te kingi, a kihai tera i whakatika, i oraora ki a ia, ki tonu a Hamana i te riri ki a Mororekai.
10 Neuerthelesse Haman refrayned himselfe: and when he came home, he sent, and called for his friends, and Zeresh his wife.
Otiia i whakamanawanui a Hamana, a hoki ana ki tona whare; a ka tonoa e ia he tangata ki te tiki i ona hoa, i tana wahine hoki, i a Herehe.
11 And Haman tolde them of the glory of his riches, and the multitude of his children, and all the things wherein the King had promoted him, and how that he had set him aboue the princes and seruants of the King.
A korerotia ana e Hamana ki a ratou te kororia o ona taonga, te tokomaha o ana tamariki, me a te kingi whakanuinga katoa i a ia, me tana whakanekehanga i a ia ki runga ake i nga rangatira, i nga tangata a te kingi.
12 Haman sayde moreouer, Yea, Ester the Queene did let no man come in with the King to the banket that she had prepared, saue me: and to morowe am I bidden vnto her also with the King.
I mea ano a Hamana, He pono kihai tetahi i tukua mai e te kuini, e Ehetere hei hoa mo te kingi ki te hakari i taka e ia, ko ahau anake; kua kiia mai ano ahau hei hoa atu mo te kingi ki a ia apopo.
13 But al this doth nothing auaile me, as long as I see Mordecai ye Iewe sitting at ye Kings gate.
Heoi kahore he pai o tenei katoa ki ahau i ahau e kite tonu ana i te Hurai, i a Mororekai, e noho ana i te kuwaha o te kingi.
14 Then sayde Zeresh his wife and all his friends vnto him, Let them make a tree of fiftie cubites hie, and to morowe speake thou vnto the King, that Mordecai may be hanged thereon: then shalt thou goe ioyfully with the King vnto the banket. And the thing pleased Haman, and he caused to make the tree.
Katahi ka ki atu tana wahine, a Herehe, ratou ko ona hoa katoa ki a ia, Me hanga he tarawa, kia rima tekau whatianga te tiketike, a i te ata mau e ki atu ki te kingi kia taronatia a Mororekai ki runga; katahi koe ka haere koa ai, korua ko te kin gi ki te hakari. Na pai tonu taua kupu ki a Hamana, a ka meinga e ia kia hanga taua tarawa.
