< Esther 5 >
1 Now it came to pass on the third day, that Esther put on [her] royal [apparel], and stood in the inner court of the king's house, over against the king's house: and the king sat upon his royal throne in the royal house, over against the gate of the house.
Na mokolo ya misato ya kokila bilei, Ester alataki bilamba na ye ya bokonzi mpe akotaki na lopango ya kati ya ndako ya mokonzi, liboso ya shambre na ye. Mokonzi azalaki ya kovanda na kiti na ye ya bokonzi kati na shambre oyo ezalaki kotalana na ekuke ya kokotela.
2 And it was so, when the king saw Esther the queen standing in the court, [that] she obtained favor in his sight: and the king held out to Esther the golden scepter that [was] in his hand. So Esther drew near, and touched the top of the scepter.
Tango mokonzi amonaki Ester, mwasi na ye, atelemi kati na lopango, asalelaki ye ngolu. Mokonzi asembolaki epai ya Ester lingenda ya wolo ya bokonzi na ye, oyo ezalaki na loboko na ye. Ester apusanaki mpe asimbaki songe ya lingenda ya bokonzi.
3 Then said the king to her, What wilt thou, queen Esther? and what [is] thy request? it shall be even given thee to the half of the kingdom.
Mokonzi atunaki ye: — Ester, mwasi ya mokonzi, likambo nini? Bosenga na yo ezali nini? Nazali pene ya kopesa yo ata kati-kati ya bokonzi na ngai!
4 And Esther answered, If [it shall seem] good to the king, let the king and Haman come this day to the banquet that I have prepared for him.
Ester azongisaki: — Oh soki esepelisi mokonzi, tika ete mokonzi akoka koya lelo, elongo na Amani, na feti monene oyo nabongisi mpo na ye.
5 Then the king said, Cause Haman to make haste, that he may do as Esther hath said. So the king and Haman came to the banquet that Esther had prepared.
Mokonzi alobaki: — Bolukela ngai noki Amani mpo ete tokokisa bosenga ya Ester. Boye, mokonzi mpe Amani bakendeki na feti oyo Ester abongisaki.
6 And the king said to Esther at the banquet of wine, What [is] thy petition? and it shall be granted thee: and what [is] thy request? even to the half of the kingdom it shall be performed.
Tango bazalaki komela vino, mokonzi atunaki lisusu Ester: — Sik’oyo, posa na yo ezali nini? Ekopesamela yo. Mpe bosenga na yo ezali nini? Ekopesamela yo, ata soki ezali kati-kati ya bokonzi na ngai.
7 Then answered Esther, and said, My petition and my request [is]:
Ester azongisaki: — Posa mpe bosenga na ngai ezali boye:
8 If I have found favor in the sight of the king, and if it shall please the king to grant my petition, and to perform my request, let the king and Haman come to the banquet that I shall prepare for them, and I will do to-morrow as the king hath said.
Soki nazwi ngolu na miso ya mokonzi mpe soki mokonzi asepeli kokokisa posa mpe bosenga na ngai, tika ete mokonzi mpe Amani bakoka koya lobi na feti oyo nakobongisa mpo na bango; bongo nde nakopesa eyano na motuna ya mokonzi.
9 Then went Haman forth that day joyful and with a glad heart: but when Haman saw Mordecai in the king's gate, that he stood not up, nor moved for him, he was full of indignation against Mordecai.
Amani abimaki na esengo mpe na nsayi. Kasi tango Amani amonaki Maridoshe na ekuke ya mokonzi mpe asosolaki ete Maridoshe atelemi te mpe azali kolenga te liboso na ye, Amani asilikelaki Maridoshe makasi.
10 Nevertheless, Haman refrained himself: and when he came home, he sent and called for his friends, and Zeresh his wife.
Kasi atako bongo, Amani akangaki motema mpe azongaki epai na ye; abengisaki balingami na ye mpe Zereshi, mwasi na ye.
11 And Haman told them of the glory of his riches, and the multitude of his children, and all [the things] in which the king had promoted him, and how he had advanced him above the princes and servants of the king.
Amani abetelaki bango lisolo ya bomengo na ye oyo ezalaki penza ebele, motango ya bana na ye mpe makambo nyonso oyo mokonzi azalaki kosala mpo na kopesa ye lokumu mpe ndenge nini atombolaki ye likolo ya bakambi mpe bakalaka mosusu.
12 Haman said moreover, Yes, Esther the queen let no man come in with the king to the banquet that she had prepared but myself; and to-morrow I am invited to her also with the king.
Amani abakisaki: — Esuki kaka wana te! Nazali kaka ngai moko, moto oyo Ester, mwasi ya mokonzi, abengi elongo na mokonzi na feti oyo abongisi. Mpe lobi, abengi ngai lisusu elongo na mokonzi.
13 Yet all this availeth me nothing, so long as I see Mordecai the Jew sitting at the king's gate.
Kasi makambo oyo nyonso ezali kosepelisa ngai te tango nazali komona Moyuda wana Maridoshe kovanda na ekuke ya mokonzi.
14 Then said Zeresh his wife and all his friends to him, Let a gallows be made fifty cubits high, and to-morrow speak thou to the king that Mordecai may be hanged upon it: then go thou in merrily with the king to the banquet. And the thing pleased Haman; and he caused the gallows to be made.
Zereshi, mwasi na ye, mpe baninga na ye nyonso balobaki na ye: — Telemisa nzete ya bametele pene tuku mibale na mitano na bosanda; mpe lobi na tongo, okosenga na mokonzi ete badiembika Maridoshe na nzete yango. Bongo okokende na esengo na feti elongo na mokonzi. Likanisi oyo esepelisaki Amani, mpe atelemisaki nzete.
