< Esther 7 >

1 So the king and Haman came to banquet with Esther the queen.
त्यसैले राजा र हामान रानी एस्तरसित भोजन गर्न गए ।
2 And the king said again unto Esther on the second day at the banquet of wine, What is thy petition, queen Esther? and it shall he granted thee: and what is thy request? even to the half of the kingdom it shall be performed.
यो दोस्रो दिनमा, तिनीहरूले दाखमद्य बाँड्‍दै गर्दा राजाले एस्तरलाई सोधे, “रानी एस्तर, तिम्री बिन्ती के हो? तिमीलाई त्‍यो दिइनेछ । तिम्रो अनुरोध के हो? आधा राज्यसम्म पनि तिमीलाई दिइनेछ ।”
3 Then Esther the queen answered and said, If I have found favour in thy sight, O king, and if it please the king, let my life be given me at my petition, and my people at my request:
तर रानी एस्तरले जवाफ दिइन्, “हे महाराज, मैले हजुरको नजरमा निगाह पाएकी छु र हजुरलाई खुसी लाग्छ भने, मेरो जीवन मलाई नै दिइयोस् । मेरो बिन्ती यही नै हो, र मेरो जातिको लागि पनि यसै गरियोस् भनी म बिन्ती गर्छु ।
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 bondmen and bondwomen, I had held my peace, although the adversary could not have compensated for the king’s damage.
किनकि म र मेरो मानिसहरू नाश पारिन, मारिन र नामेट पारिन बेचिएका छौँ । हामी दास-दासीको रूपमा मात्र दासत्वमा बेचिएका भए म चुप रहन्थेँ किनकि त्यस्तो दुःखले मात्र त महाराजालाई बाधा दिनु न्यासङ्गत हुँदैन ।”
5 Then spake the king Ahasuerus and said unto Esther the queen, Who is he, and where is he, that durst presume in his heart to do so?
तब राजा अहासूरसले रानी एस्तरलाई सोधे, “त्यो को हो? यस्तो कुरा गर्न आफ्नो हृदय भरेर बस्‍ने त्यो व्यक्ति कहाँ छ?
6 And Esther said, An adversary and an enemy, even this wicked Haman. Then Haman was afraid before the king and the queen.
एस्तरले जवाई दिइन्, “त्यो विरोधी, शत्रु यही दुष्‍ट हामान हो ।” तब हामान राजा र रानीको सामु डरले थरथर काँपे ।
7 And the king arose in his wrath from the banquet of wine [and went] into the palace garden: and 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.
राजा भोजमा दाखमद्य पिइरहेको अवस्थाबाट रिसले चुर भएर उठे, र राजमहलको बगैँचामा गए, तर हामानचाहिं रानी एस्तरबाट आफ्नो जीवनको भिग माग्‍न त्यहीँ बसे । राजाले तिनको विरुद्धमा विपत्ती ल्याउँदै थिए भनी तिनले देखे ।
8 Then the king returned out of the palace garden into the place of the banquet of wine; and Haman was fallen upon the couch whereon Esther was. Then said the king, Will he even force the queen before me in the house? As the word went out of the king’s mouth, they covered Haman’s face.
तब राजमहलको बगैँचाबाट दाखमद्य बाँडिएको कोठामा राजा फर्केर आए । हामानचाहिं भर्खरै एस्तर बसिरहेको सोफाको छेउमा पसारो परेका थिए । राजाले भने, “के मेरै उपस्थिति मेरै घरमा त्यसले रानीलाई बलात्‍कार गर्न खोज्‍छ?” राजाको मुखबाट यो वाक्य बाहिर निस्कनेबित्तिकै अधिकारीहरूले हामानको अनुहार छोपे ।
9 Then said Harbonah, one of the chamberlains that were before the king, Behold also, the gallows fifty cubits high, which Haman hath made for Mordecai, who spake good for the king, standeth in the house of Haman. And the king said, Hang him thereon.
तब राजाको सेवा गर्ने एक जना अधिकारी हर्बोनाले भने, “हामानको घरको छेउमा पच्‍चिस मिटर लामो एउटा फाँसीको काठ खडा छ । महाराजाको ज्यान जोगाइदन बोल्ने मोर्दकैको निम्ति त्यसले त्‍यो तयार पारेको हो ।” राजाले भने, “त्यसलाई त्‍यसैमा झुण्ड्याओ ।”
10 So they hanged Haman on the gallows that he had prepared for Mordecai. Then was the king’s wrath pacified.
त्यसैले तिनीहरूले हामानले मोर्दकै को निम्ति तयार पारेको फाँसीको काठमा उसैलाई झुण्ड्याए । तब राजाको रिस मर्‍यो ।
