< Esther 5 >

1 Now it came to pass on the third day, that Esther put on her royal apparel, and stood in the inner court of the king's house, over against the king's house; and the king sat upon his royal throne in the royal house, over against the entrance of the house.
A rana ta uku, Esta ta sanya rigunanta na sarauta, ta tafi ta tsaya a harabar fada, a gaban zaure sarki. Sarki yana zaune a kan gadon sarautarsa a zauren, yana fuskantar ƙofar shiga.
2 And it was so, when the king saw Esther the queen standing in the court, that she obtained favour in his sight; and the king held out to Esther the golden sceptre that was in his hand. So Esther drew near, and touched the top of the sceptre.
Sa’ad da ya ga Sarauniya Esta tsaye a harabar, sai ya ji daɗin ganinta, ya miƙa mata sandan sarauta na zinariya da take hannunsa. Sai Esta ta matsa kusa ta taɓa kan sandan.
3 Then said the king unto her: 'What wilt thou, queen Esther? for whatever thy request, even to the half of the kingdom, it shall be given thee.'
Sai sarki ya ce mata, “Me kike so, Sarauniya Esta? Mene ne roƙonki? Kai, ko rabin masarautata ce, za a ba ki.”
4 And Esther said: 'If it seem good unto the king, let the king and Haman come this day unto the banquet that I have prepared for him.'
Esta ta ce, “In ya gamshi sarki, bari sarki, tare da Haman su zo wurin liyafar da na shirya wa sarki yau.”
5 Then the king said: 'Cause Haman to make haste, that it may be done as Esther hath said.' So the king and Haman came to the banquet that Esther had prepared.
Sai sarki ya ce, “Maza a kawo Haman don mu yi abin da Esta ta roƙa.” Saboda haka, sarki da Haman suka tafi liyafar da Esta ta shirya.
6 And the king said unto Esther at the banquet of wine: 'Whatever thy petition, it shall be granted thee; and whatever thy request, even to the half of the kingdom, it shall be performed.'
Yayinda suke shan ruwan inabi, sarki ya sāke ce wa Esta, “Yanzu, mece ce bukatarki? Za a biya miki shi. Kuma mene ne roƙonki? Kai, ko rabin masarautata ce, za a ba ki.”
7 Then answered Esther, and said: 'My petition and my request is —
Esta ta amsa ta ce, “Bukatata da kuma roƙona shi ne,
8 if I have found favour in the sight of the king, and if it please the king to grant my petition, and to perform my request — let the king and Haman come to the banquet that I shall prepare for them, and I will do to-morrow as the king hath said.'
in na sami tagomashi a wurin sarki, in kuma sarki ya yarda yă biya mini bukatata, yă kuma ji roƙona, bari sarki da Haman su zo gobe wurin liyafar da zan shirya musu. Sa’an nan zan amsa tambayar sarki.”
9 Then went Haman forth that day joyful and glad of heart; but when Haman saw Mordecai in the king's gate, that he stood not up, nor moved for him, Haman was filled with wrath against Mordecai.
Haman ya fita a ranan da murna, ya kuma ji daɗi. Amma sa’ad da ya ga Mordekai a bakin ƙofar sarki, ya kuma lura cewa bai tashi, ko yă nuna bangirma a gabansa ba, sai ya cika da fushi.
10 Nevertheless Haman refrained himself, and went home; and he sent and fetched his friends and Zeresh his wife.
Duk da haka, Haman ya cije, ya tafi gida. Sai ya kira abokansa da kuma matarsa, Zeresh,
11 And Haman recounted unto them the glory of his riches, and the multitude of his children, and everything as to how the king had promoted him, and how he had advanced him above the princes and servants of the king.
ya yi ta taƙama game da ɗumbun wadatarsa, da yawan’ya’yansa maza, da dukan yadda sarki ya girmama shi, ya kuma ɗaga shi bisan sauran hakimai da shugabanni.
12 Haman said moreover: 'Yea, Esther the queen did let no man come in with the king unto the banquet that she had prepared but myself; and to-morrow also am I invited by her together with the king.
Haman ya ƙara da cewa, “Ba duka ke nan ba, kai, ni ne kaɗai mutumin da Sarauniya Esta ta gayyata yă tafi tare da sarki zuwa liyafar da ta shirya. Ta sāke gayyace ni tare da sarki gobe.
13 Yet all this availeth me nothing, so long as I see Mordecai the Jew sitting at the king's gate.'
Amma dukan wannan bai biya mini bukata ba, muddin ina ganin wannan mutumin Yahudan nan Mordekai, yana zama a bakin ƙofar sarki.”
14 Then said Zeresh his wife and all his friends unto him: 'Let a gallows be made of fifty cubits high, and in the morning speak thou unto the king that Mordecai may be hanged thereon; then go thou in merrily with the king unto the banquet.' And the thing pleased Haman; and he caused the gallows to be made.
Matarsa Zeresh, da dukan abokansa suka ce masa, “Ka sa a gina wurin rataye mai laifi, mai tsawo, ƙafa saba’in da biyar, da safe kuwa ka ce wa sarki a rataye Mordekai a kansa. Sa’an nan ka tafi cin abincin dare tare da sarki da murna.” Wannan shawarar ta faranta wa Haman rai, ya kuma sa aka gina wurin rataye mai laifi.
