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,
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 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.
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 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.”
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 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”;
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 says, “Hurry Haman—to do the word of Esther”; and the king comes in, and Haman, to the banquet that Esther has made.
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 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.”
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 And Esther answers and says, “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 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.”
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 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.
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 And Haman forces himself, and comes into his house, and sends, and brings in his friends, and his wife Zeresh,
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 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.
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 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,
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 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.”
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 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.
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.
