Esther 7
1 So the king and Haman went to eat the second banquet/feast that Queen Esther had prepared.
Ouinge tokosra ac Haman som in mongo yorol Esther
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.”
ke pacl se akluo. Ke pacl eltal nim wain, tokosra el sifilpa siyuk, “Kasra Esther, fahk nu sik ma kom lungse, ac nga ac fah sot nu sum. Kom finne siyuk ke tafu tokosrai luk, ac fah itukot nu sum.”
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.
Kasra Esther el topuk, “Fin oh lungse lun Tokosra, ac el fin insewowo in porongo mwe siyuk luk, pa inge ma nga kena kac, tuh nga in ku in moul, wi pac mwet srahk.
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.”
Nga ac mwet srahk kukakinyukla tari in anwuki. Funu kukakinyukla kut nu ke mwet kohs, nga lukun misla na ac tia lusrong tokosra. Tusruktu akoeyuk in sikiyukla kut — kut nukewa ac wanginla!”
5 Then King Xerxes asked her, “Who would want to do such a [terrible] thing? Where is he?”
Na Tokosra Ahasuerus el siyuk sel Kasra Esther, “Su enum se ku in oru ouinge— Pia mwet sacn?”
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.
Esther el topuk, “Mwet lokoalok lasr, su akola in kalyei kut, pa mwet koluk se inge Haman!” Haman el ngetang nu sel tokosra ac kasra, ac el rarrar ke sangeng.
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.
Tokosra el arulana foloyak ac tuyak som liki kufwa uh, ac illa nu likinuma nu ke ima ros lun inkul fulat. Haman el akilen lah tokosra el akola in sang kalya na yohk nu sel ke ma se inge, oru el mutana in kwafe sel Kasra Esther elan molella.
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].
El tufahna fungyang nu fin mwe oan se Esther el muta fac in kwafe elan nunak munas nu sel, ke pacl se tokosra el sifilpa utyak nu in lohm uh liki imae. Tokosra el wola, “Ya mwet se inge ac sruinkuel kasra ye mutuk in lohm uh?” Ke pacl se tokosra el fahkla kas inge, mwet eunuch uh afinya mutal Haman.
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!”
Na sie sin mwet eunuch lal tokosra pangpang Harbona el fahk, “Sie pac ma Haman el oru pa el musaela sie nien loksak fit itngoul limekosr fulata pe lohm sel elan srupsrulak Mordecai kac, el su tuh molela moul lun tokosra!” Tokosra el sapkin, “Srupsrulak Haman olo!”
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).
Ouinge sripsripyak Haman ke nien loksak se su el musaela nu sel Mordecai. Na tufah ohula kasrkusrak lal tokosra.
