< Esther 7 >

1 So the king and Haman went to eat the second banquet/feast that Queen Esther had prepared.
Amola hina bagade Segesisi amola Ha: ima: ne da Eseda ea lolo nabe eno amoga asi.
2 As they were drinking wine, the king asked again, “Esther, what do you want me to do [for you? Tell me, and] I will do it for you. Even if [you ask me for] half of my kingdom, I will give it to you.”
Ilia da gilisili waini nana, hina bagade da Esedama bu adole ba: i, “Hina bagade uda, Eseda di! Adi lama: bela: ? Dia hanai adole ba: sea, na da dima imunu. Di da na fifi asi gala dogoa fili, la: idi digili ima: ne sia: sea, na da dima imunu.”
3 Esther replied, “O king, if you are pleased with me, and if you are willing to do [what I ask], save me, and save my people. That is what I want you to do for me.
Hina bagade uda Eseda amane adole i, “Hina bagade noga: idafa! Di da na asaboi adole ba: su liligi nama imunusa: hanai galea, na da na amola na fi dunu da mae bogole esaloma: ne hanai.
4 [It is as though] I and my people [are cattle that] have been sold to be slaughtered. [It is as though] we have been sold to people who want to completely destroy us. If we had only been sold to people to become their male and female slaves, I would not say anything, because that would have been a matter too small to bother you, the king.”
Na fi dunu amola na, ninia da medole legemusa: bidi lai dagoi. Ninia da udigili hawa: hamomusa: bidi lai dagoi ganiaba, na da dima hame sia: na: noba. Be nini da enoga gadenenewane medole lelegemu galebe.”
5 Then King Xerxes asked her, “Who would want to do such a [terrible] thing? Where is he?”
Amalalu, hina bagade Segesisi da hina bagade uda Eseda ema fofogadigili, amane adole ba: i, “Nowa da agoane hamoma: ne sia: bela: ? Amo dunu da habila: ?”
6 Esther replied, “[The man who is] our enemy is this evil man Haman!” Then Haman was terrified as he stood in front of the king and queen.
Eseda bu adole i, “Ninia ha lai dunu amola ninima se iasu dunu da amo wadela: i dunu Ha: ima: ne, e fawane.” Ha: ima: ne da fofogadigili beda: ne, hina bagade amola iduama sosodolaligi.
7 The king became extremely angry. He immediately left his wine and got up and went outside into the palace garden [to decide what to do]. But Haman stayed, in order to plead with Queen Esther that she would spare his life.
Hina bagade da baligili bagadedafa ougili wa: legadole, moia gadili asi. Ha: ima: ne ea ba: loba, hina bagade da dafawane ema se imunu ba: i. Amaiba: le, e da mae asili, Esedama e fidima: ne, ema adole ba: musa: dawa: i galu.
8 He threw himself down on the couch where Esther was reclining. But at that moment the king returned from the garden to the room where they had been eating. [He saw Haman, and assumed he was preparing to rape Esther]. He exclaimed, “Are you going to rape the queen while she is here with me in my own palace?” As soon as the king said that, some officials covered Haman’s head, [as they did to people who were about to be hanged].
E da Eseda ea ema asigima: ne adole ba: musa: , Eseda ea fisu fafai amo bega: hisu gala: la sa: i. Amalalu, hina bagade da bu ganodini golili misi. E da ba: loba, Ha: ima: ne da Eseda ea fisu fafai amo bega: gala: la sa: i dialebe ba: beba: le, e da ha: giwane ougili halale sia: i, “Amo dunu da na uda ni ba: lea, na diasu ganodini, wadela: lesima: bela: ?” Hina bagade da amo sia: noba, ea gulusu danai hawa: hamosu dunu da misini, Ha: ima: ne ea odagi dofoga: i.
9 Then Harbona, one of the king’s personal officials, said, “[Outside, ] near Haman’s house, there is a (gallows/set of poles for hanging someone). It is 75 feet high. Haman made it for Mordecai, the man who spared your life!” The king said, “Hang him on it!”
Amalalu, hina bagade ea gulusu danai hawa: hamosu dunu afae ea dio amo Habona, da amane sia: i, “Hina bagade! Modigai da dia esalusu gaga: i dagoi. Be Ha: ima: ne da amo mae dawa: le, Modigai fuga: musa: , ifa duni bugili fugalegei amo 22 mida sedade defei gagula heda: i dagoi.” Hina bagade da amane sia: i, “Defea! Ha: ima: ne amoga fuga: musa: hegoa: nesima!”
10 So they hanged Haman on the gallows that he had prepared for hanging Mordecai! And then (the king’s anger cooled off/the king was no longer so angry).
Amalalu, ilia da Modigai hegoa: nesimusa: fafai, amoga Ha: ima: ne galogoaga hegoa: nesi dagoi. Amalalu, Segesisi ea ougi da gumina sa: i.
