1 So the King and Haman came to banket with the Queene Ester.
Ọba àti Hamani sì lọ sí àpèjẹ pẹ̀lú Esteri ayaba,
2 And the King said againe vnto Ester on the second day at the banket of wine, What is thy petition, Queene Ester, that it may be giue thee? and what is thy request? It shalbe euen perfourmed vnto the halfe of the kingdome.
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 And Ester the Queene answered, and said, If I haue found fauour in thy sight, O King, and if it please the King, let my life be giuen me at my petition, and my people at my request.
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 we are solde, I, and my people, to be destroyed, to be slayne and to perish: but if we were solde for seruants, and for handmaides, I woulde haue helde my tongue: although the aduersarie could not recompense the Kings losse.
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 Then King Ahashuerosh answered, and said vnto the Queene Ester, Who is he? and where is he that presumeth to doe thus?
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 And Ester said, The aduersarie and enemie is this wicked Haman. Then Haman was afrayde before the King and the Queene.
Esteri sọ wí pé, “Alátakò àti ọ̀tá náà ni Hamani aláìníláárí yìí.” Nígbà náà ni Hamani wárìrì níwájú ọba àti ayaba.
7 And the King arose from ye banket of wine in his wrath, and went into the palace garden: but Haman stood vp, to make request for his life to the Queene Ester: for he sawe that there was a mischiefe prepared for him of the King.
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 And when the King came againe out of the palace garden, into the house where they dranke wine, Haman was fallen vpon the bed whereon Ester sate! therefore the King sayd, Will he force the Queene also before me in the house? As the worde went out of the Kings mouth, they couered Hamans 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 And Harbonah one of the eunuches, sayde in the presence of the King, Beholde, there standeth yet the tree in Hamans house fiftie cubites hie, which Haman had prepared for Mordecai, that spake good for the King. Then the King sayd, Hang him thereon.
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 hanged Haman on the tree, that he had prepared for Mordecai: then was the Kings wrath pacified.
Wọ́n sì so Hamani sórí igi tí ó ti pèsè sílẹ̀ fún Mordekai, ìbínú ọba sì rọ̀.
