Esther 7
1 So the king and Haman came to banquet with Esther the queen.
Heoi, kua tae te kingi raua ko Hamana ki te hakari, ki te kuini, ki a Ehetere.
2 The king said again to Esther on the second day at the banquet of wine, "What is your petition, queen Esther? It shall be granted you. What is your request? Even to the half of the kingdom it shall be performed."
A ka mea ano te kingi ki a Ehetere i te rua o nga ra, i te mea e inu waina ana, He aha tau e mea nei mau, e Kuini Ehetere? Ka hoatu hoki ki a koe. He aha hoki tau e tono ai? ahakoa ko te hawhe o te kingitanga, ka meatia.
3 Then Esther the queen answered, "If I have found favor in your sight, O king, and if it please the king, let my life be given me at my petition, and my people at my request.
Katahi ka whakautu a Kuini Ehetere, ka mea, Ki te mea kua manakohia ahau e koe, e te kingi, a ki te pai te kingi; ko taku e mea ai maku, ko ahau kia whakaorangia, ko taku e tono nei maku, ko toku iwi.
4 For we are sold, I and my people, to be destroyed, to be slain, and to perish. But if we had been sold for bondservants and bondmaids, I would have held my peace, although the adversary could not have compensated for the king's loss."
Kua oti hoki matou, ahau me toku iwi, te hoko kia whakangaromia, kia whakamatea, kia huna. Otiia me i hokona matou hei pononga tane, hei pononga wahine, kua whakarongo puku ahau: e kore ano ia e rite i te hoariri nga mea a te kingi ka maumauria n ei.
5 Then King Achashyerosh said to Esther the queen, "Who is he, and where is he who dared presume in his heart to do so?"
Katahi ka utua e Kingi Ahahueruha, ka mea ki a Kuini Ehetere, Ko wai ra? Kei hea ra te tangata i pokanoa nei tona ngakau ki te mea i tenei mea?
6 Esther said, "An adversary and an enemy, even this wicked Haman." Then Haman was afraid before the king and the queen.
Ano ra ko Ehetere, He hoariri, he hoa whawhai, anei ko te Hamana kino nei. Katahi ka mataku a Hamana i te aroaro o te kingi raua ko te kuini.
7 The king arose in his wrath from the banquet of wine and went into the palace garden. Haman stood up to make request for his life to Esther the queen; for he saw that there was evil determined against him by the king.
Na whakatika ana te kingi, i te inumanga waina, he riri hoki nona, a haere ana ki te kari o te whare. Ko Hamana hoki, tu tonu ki te inoi ki a Kuini Ehetere mona kia whakaorangia: i kite hoki ia kua takoto te he mona i te kingi.
8 Then the king returned out of the palace garden into the place of the banquet of wine; and Haman had fallen on the couch where Esther was. Then the king said, "Will he even assault the queen in front of me in the house?" As the word went out of the king's mouth, they covered Haman's face.
Katahi ka hoki te kingi i te kari o te whare ki te whare inu waina, na ko Hamana kua takoto ki te takotoranga o Ehetere. Katahi ka mea te kingi, E takotoria ano ranei e ia te kuini i toku aroaro i te whare? Puta ana te kupu i te mangai o te kingi, ka hipokina e ratou te mata o Hamana.
9 Then Harbonah, one of the eunuchs who were with the king said, "Look, the gallows seventy-three feet eight inches high, which Haman has made for Mordecai, who spoke good for the king, is standing at Haman's house." The king said, "Hang him on it."
Katahi ka mea a Harapona, tetahi o nga rangatira ruma i te aroaro o te kingi, Nana, te tarawa e rima tekau whatianga te tiketike, i hanga e Hamana mo Mororekai, nana nei te kupu pai mo te kingi, e tu ra i te whare o Hamana. Ano ra ko te kingi, Ta ronatia ia ki runga.
10 So they hanged Haman on the gallows that he had prepared for Mordecai. Then was the king's wrath pacified.
Heoi taronatia ana a Hamana ki runga ki te tarawa i oti ra i a ia mo Mororekai, a ka mariri iho te riri o te kingi.
