Esther 5
1 And it comes to pass on the third day, that Esther puts on royalty, and stands in the inner-court of the house of the king in front of the house of the king, and the king is sitting on his royal throne, in the royal-house, opposite the opening of the house,
Awo ku lunaku olwokusatu, Kabaka yali atudde ku ntebe ey’obwakabaka mu kisenge ekinene ekyolekera omulyango, Eseza n’ayambala ebyambalo bye ebyobwannabagereka, n’ayimirira mu luggya olw’omunda olwokubiri okwolekera ekisenge ekyo ekinene.
2 and it comes to pass, at the king’s seeing Esther the queen standing in the court, she has received grace in his eyes, and the king holds out to Esther the golden scepter that [is] in his hand, and Esther draws near, and touches the top of the scepter.
Kabaka bwe yalengera Nnabagereka Eseza ng’ayimiridde mu luggya, n’aganja mu maaso ge era n’amugololera omuggo ogwa zaabu ogwali mu mukono gwe. Awo Eseza n’asembera n’akoma ku musa gw’omuggo.
3 And the king says to her, “What do you [want], Esther, O queen? And what [is] your request? To the half of the kingdom—and it is given to you.”
Kabaka n’alyoka amubuuza nti, “Oyagala ki Nnabagereka Eseza? Era kiki ky’osaba? Onookiweebwa ne bwe kinaaba ekitundu ky’obwakabaka.”
4 And Esther says, “If to the king [it be] good, the king comes in, and Haman, today, to the banquet that I have made for him”;
Awo Eseza n’addamu nti, “Kabaka bw’anaasiima, ajje ne Kamani leero ku mbaga gye nfumbidde Kabaka.”
5 and the king says, “Hurry Haman—to do the word of Esther”; and the king comes in, and Haman, to the banquet that Esther has made.
Amangwago Kabaka n’agamba nti, “Mwanguwe okuyita Kamani ajje tugende ku mbaga Eseza gyateeseteese.”
6 And the king says to Esther, during the banquet of wine, “What [is] your petition? And it is given to you; and what [is] your request? To the half of the kingdom—and it is done.”
Awo bwe baali banywa wayini, Kabaka n’addamu n’abuuza Eseza nti, “Wegayirira ki era osaba ki? Kinaakuweebwa. Ne bwe kinaaba ekitundu ky’obwakabaka kinaakuweebwa.”
7 And Esther answers and says, “My petition and my request [is]:
Eseza n’amugamba nti, “Kye negayirira era kye nsaba kye kino.
8 if I have found grace in the eyes of the king, and if to the king [it be] good, to give my petition, and to perform my request, the king comes, and Haman, to the banquet that I make for them, and tomorrow I do according to the word of the king.”
Obanga ŋŋanze mu maaso ga Kabaka era ng’anaasiima okuddamu okusaba kwange, n’okutuukiriza kye neegayirira, nkusaba kabaka ne Kamani mujje enkya ku mbaga gye nnaabategekera. Olwo nno, nzija kuddamu ekibuuzo kya kabaka.”
9 And Haman goes forth on that day rejoicing and glad in heart, and at Haman’s seeing Mordecai in the gate of the king, and he has not risen nor moved for him, then is Haman full of fury against Mordecai.
Ku lunaku olwo Kamani n’afuluma nga musanyufu era ng’ajaguza mu mwoyo. Naye bwe yalaba Moluddekaayi mu wankaaki wa Kabaka, nga tayimuse wadde okulaga nti amussaamu ekitiibwa, Kamani n’asunguwalira nnyo Moluddekaayi.
10 And Haman forces himself, and comes into his house, and sends, and brings in his friends, and his wife Zeresh,
Wakati mu ebyo byonna Kamani n’azibiikiriza era n’addayo eka. Oluvannyuma n’atumya mukyala we Zeresi ne mikwano gye,
11 and Haman recounts to them the glory of his wealth, and the abundance of his sons, and all that with which the king made him great, and with which he lifted him up above the heads and servants of the king.
era n’abeewaanirako ekitiibwa n’obugagga bwe, bwe byenkana obungi, n’abaana be bwe benkana obungi, n’ebitiibwa byonna Kabaka bye yamuwa, ate ne bwe yakuzibwa okusinga abakungu ba Kabaka n’abaana be.
12 And Haman says, “Indeed, Esther the queen brought none in with the king, to the feast that she made, except myself, and also for tomorrow I am called to her, with the king,
“Ate si ekyo kyokka,” Kamani n’ayongerako na kino nti, “Nnabagereka Eseza teyaganyizza muntu mulala n’omu kuwerekera Kabaka ku mbaga gye yategese, wabula nze; era n’enkya ampise ŋŋende wamu ne Kabaka.
13 and all this is not profitable to me, during all the time that I am seeing Mordecai the Jew sitting in the gate of the king.”
Naye ebyo byonna tebimpa mirembe nga nkyalaba Moluddekaayi Omuyudaaya ng’atudde ku wankaaki wa Kabaka.”
14 And his wife Zeresh says to him, and all his friends, “Let them prepare a tree, in height fifty cubits, and in the morning speak to the king, and they hang Mordecai on it, and go in with the king to the banquet rejoicing”; and the thing is good before Haman, and he prepares the tree.
Awo mukazi we Zeresi ne mikwano gye gyonna ne bamugamba nti, “Bazimbe akalabba obuwanvu bwako, mita amakumi abiri mu ssatu, enkya bw’onooyogera ne Kabaka, Moluddekaayi anaawanikibwa okwo, kale olyoke ogende ku mbaga ne Kabaka ng’oli musanyufu.” Ekirowoozo ekyo kyasanyusa nnyo Kamani, era akalabba ne kazimbibwa.
