Esther 7
1 And the king comes in, and Haman, to drink with Esther the queen,
Awo Kabaka ne Kamani ne bagenda ku mbaga ya Nnabagereka Eseza gye yateekateeka.
2 and the king says to Esther also on the second day, during the banquet of wine, “What [is] your petition, Esther, O queen? And it is given to you; and what [is] your request? To the half of the kingdom—and it is done.”
Ku lunaku olwokubiri bwe baali banywa wayini Kabaka n’addamu n’abuuza Eseza nti, “Nnabagereka Eseza osaba ki? Onookiweebwa. Kiki kye weegayirira? Ne bwe kinaaba ekitundu ky’obwakabaka, kinaakuweebwa.”
3 And Esther the queen answers and says, “If I have found grace in your eyes, O king, and if to the king [it be] good, let my life be given to me at my petition, and my people at my request;
Awo Eseza n’addamu nti, “Obanga ŋŋanze mu maaso go, ayi Kabaka, era Oweekitiibwa bw’onoosiima, kino kye nsaba, mpeebwe obulamu bwange. Ate era n’abantu bange bawonye obulamu bwabwe. Kino kye nneegayirira.
4 for we have been sold, I and my people, to cut off, to slay, and to destroy; and if for menservants and for maidservants we had been sold I had kept silent—but the adversity is not equal to the loss of the king.”
Nze n’abantu bange tutuundiddwa eri okuzikirizibwa, okuttibwa n’okubula. Wakiri singa tutuundiddwa okuba abaddu n’abakazi abaweereza, nandisirise ne sikuteganya newaakubadde nga omulabe teyandiyinzizza kuliwa kabaka bwe yandifiiriddwa.”
5 And King Ahasuerus says, indeed, he says to Esther the queen, “Who [is] he—this one? And where [is] this one whose heart has filled him to do so?”
Awo Kabaka Akaswero n’abuuza Nnabagereka Eseza nti, “Ani era ali ludda wa oyo ayaŋŋanga okugezaako mu mutima gwe okukola bw’atyo?”
6 And Esther says, “The man—adversary and enemy—[is] this wicked Haman”; and Haman has been afraid at the presence of the king and of the queen.
Awo Eseza n’addamu nti, “Omulabe waffe, atukyawa, ye Kamani ono omubi.” Kamani n’atya nnyo mu maaso ga Kabaka ne Nnabagereka.
7 And the king has risen, in his fury, from the banquet of wine, to the garden of the house, and Haman has remained to seek for his life from Esther the queen, for he has seen that evil has been determined against him by the king.
Awo Kabaka n’agolokoka ng’aliko ekiruyi, n’aleka wayini we, n’alaga ebweru mu nnimiro ey’omu lubiri. Kamani bwe yalaba nga Kabaka amaliridde okumubonereza, n’asigala emabega okusaba obulamu bwe eri Nnabagereka Eseza.
8 And the king has turned back out of the garden of the house to the house of the banquet of wine, and Haman is falling on the couch on which Esther [is], and the king says, “Also to subdue the queen with me in the house?” The word has gone out from the mouth of the king, and the face of Haman they have covered.
Kabaka n’akomawo okuva mu nnimiro ey’omu lubiri n’ayingira mu kifo eky’embaga, n’asanga Kamani ng’agudde ku ntebe ey’olugalamiriro Eseza kwe yali. Kabaka ne yeekanga nnyo era n’akangula eddoboozi ng’agamba nti, “N’okukwata ayagala kukwatira Nnabagereka mu maaso gange wano mu nnyumba?” Kabaka bwe yali nga yakamala okwogera ekigambo ekyo, ne babikka ku maaso ga Kamani.
9 And Harbonah, one of the eunuchs, says before the king, “Also behold, the tree that Haman made for Mordecai, who spoke good for the king, is standing in the house of Haman, in height fifty cubits”; and the king says, “Hang him on it.”
Awo Kalubona, omu ku balaawe abaali baweereza Kabaka n’ayogera nti, “Waliwo akalabba kumpi ne nnyumba ya Kamani obuwanvu bwako mita amakumi abiri mu ssatu ke yazimba okuttirako Moluddekaayi eyayogera n’awonya obulamu bwa Kabaka.” Kabaka n’agamba nti, “Mumuwanike okwo.”
10 And they hang Haman on the tree that he had prepared for Mordecai, and the fury of the king has lain down.
Awo ne bawanika Kamani ku kalabba ke yali azimbidde Moluddekaayi, olwo obusungu bwa kabaka ne bukkakkana.
