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,
Makalipas ng tatlong araw, isinuot ni Esther ang kanyang damit pangreyna at nagtungo upang tumayo sa panloob na patyo ng palasyo ng hari, sa tapat ng bahay ng hari. Nakaupo ang hari sa kanyang trono sa loob ng palasyo, paharap sa pasukan ng maharlikang tahanan.
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.
Nang makita ng hari si Reyna Esther na nakatayo sa patyo, nakasumpong ito ng pabor sa kanyang paningin. Itinuro niya sa kanya ang kanyang gintong setro na nasa kanyang kamay. Kaya lumapit at hinawakan ni Esther ang dulo ng kanyang setro.
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.”
Pagkatapos sinabi ng hari sa kanya, “Ano ang nais mo, Reyna Esther? Ano ang iyong kahilingan?” Ibibigay sa iyo hanggang sa kalahati ng aking kaharian.”
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”;
Sinabi ni Esther, “Kung mamarapatin ng hari, hayaang dumalo ang hari at si Haman sa handaang inihanda ko ngayon para sa kanya.”
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.
Pagkatapos sinabi ng hari “Dalhin agad si Haman, upang gawin kung ano ang sinabi ni Esther.” Kaya pumunta ang hari at si Haman sa handaang inihanda ni Esther.
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.”
Nang inihahain na ang alak sa handaan, sinabi ng hari kay Esther, “Ano ang iyong kahilingan? Ipagkakaloob sa iyo. Ano ang iyong pakiusap? Hanggang kalahati ng aking kaharian, ito ay ipagkakaloob.”
7 And Esther answers and says, “My petition and my request [is]:
Sumagot si Esther, “Ito ang aking kahilingan at pakiusap,
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.”
kung nakasumpong ako ng pabor sa paningin ng hari at mamarapatin ng hari na ipagkaloob ang aking kahilingan, at igalang ang aking pakiusap. Hayaan na ang hari at si Haman ay dumalo sa ihahanda kong handaan para sa inyo bukas, at sasagutin ko ang katanungan ng hari.”
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.
Masayang lumabas si Haman nang araw na iyon at may galak sa puso. Ngunit nang makita ni Haman si Mordecai sa tarangkahan ng hari na hindi tumayo ni hindi nanginig sa takot sa kanyang harapan, napuno siya ng matinding galit laban kay Mordecai.
10 And Haman forces himself, and comes into his house, and sends, and brings in his friends, and his wife Zeresh,
Gayunman, nagtimpi si Haman sa kanyang sarili at umuwi sa kanyang sariling bahay. Pinatawag niya ang kanyang mga kaibigan at tinipon sila, kasama si Zeresh na kanyang asawa.
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.
Ipinagmalaki ni Haman sa kanila ang karangyaan ng kanyang kayamanan at ang bilang ng kanyang maraming anak na lalaki, kung paano siya sumulong angat sa lahat ng mga opisyal at mga lingkod ng hari.
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,
Sinabi ni Haman, “Kahit si Reyna Esther ay walang ibang inimbita na pumunta maliban sa akin kasama ng hari sa handaan na kanyang inihanda. Kahit bukas muli niya akong inimbitahan kasama ang hari.
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.”
Ngunit lahat ng ito na aking nararanasan ay walang halaga sa akin, hanggang sa nakikita ko si Mordecai na Judio na nakaupo sa tarangkahan ng hari.”
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.
Kaya sinabi ni Zeresh kay Haman na kanyang asawa at sa lahat ng kanyang kaibigan, “Hayaan mo silang gumawa ng bitayang may taas na limampung kubit. Sa umaga makipag-usap ka sa hari na ibitay nila roon si Mordecai. Pagkatapos pumunta kang masaya kasama ng hari sa handaan. Naging kasiya-siya ito kay Haman, at nagpagawa siya ng bitayan.
