Esther 7
1 So the king and Haman came to banquet with Esther the queen.
Eze na Heman gara iri oriri ahụ Esta nwunye eze kpọrọ ha,
2 And the king said again to Esther on the second day at the banquet of wine, What [is] thy petition, queen Esther? and it shall be granted thee: and what [is] thy request? and it shall be performed, [even] to the half of the kingdom.
mgbe ha nọ na-aṅụ mmanya, nʼụbọchị nke abụọ ahụ, eze jụrụ Esta ajụjụ sị, “Gịnị bụ arịrịọ gị, Esta, eze nwanyị? Gịnị ka ị chọrọ? Ihe ọbụla ọ bụ, aga m enye gị ya, ọ bụladị otu ọkara alaeze m.”
3 Then Esther the queen answered and said, If I have found favor in thy sight, O king, and if it shall please the king, let my life be given me at my petition, and my people at my request:
Nʼikpeazụ, Esta nwunye eze zara sị, “Eze biko, ọ bụrụ na m ahụtala amara nʼihu gị, ọ bụrụkwa na ọ masịrị gị, zọpụta ndụ m na ndụ ndị m.
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 bond-men and bond-women, I had held my tongue, although the enemy could not countervail the king's damage.
Nʼihi na mụ na ndị m abụrụla ndị erere ere nʼaka ndị ga-ala anyị nʼiyi. Anyị abụrụla ndị a ga-egbu, na ndị aghaghị ịla nʼiyi. A sị na e rere anyị dịka ndị ohu nwoke na nwanyị, agaara m agba nkịtị, hapụ inye gị nsogbu, ma nʼihi nʼọdịghị ihe ga-akwụ ụgwọ isogbu eze.”
5 Then the king Ahasuerus answered and said to Esther the queen, Who is he, and where is he, that durst presume in his heart to do so?
Eze, bụ Sekses, jụrụ Esta, bụ nwunye eze, “Onye ka mmadụ ahụ bụ, olee ebe ọ nọ, bụ onye na-ezube ime ihe ọjọọ dị otu a?”
6 And Esther said, The adversary and enemy [is] this wicked Haman. Then Haman was afraid before the king and the queen.
Esta zara, “Ọ bụ onye iro na onye mmegide. Ọ bụ Heman, nwoke ọjọọ a!” Mgbe ahụ, ụjọ dị ukwu jidere Heman nʼihu eze na nwunye eze.
7 And the king arising from the banquet of wine in his wrath [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.
Eze biliri ọtọ nʼiwe, hapụ mmanya ya site nʼebe oriri ahụ pụọ, gaa nʼime ubi ya a gbara ogige dị nʼụlọeze. Ma Heman nọdụrụ ịrịọ eze nwanyị, bụ Esta arịrịọ maka ndụ ya, nʼihi na ọ maara na eze ekpebiela ịla ndụ ya nʼiyi.
8 Then the king returned out of the palace-garden into the place of the banquet of wine; and Haman had fallen upon the bed on which Esther [was]. Then said the king, Will he force the queen also before me in the house? As the word went out of the king's mouth, they covered Haman's face.
Mgbe eze sitere nʼubi a gbara ogige lọghachita nʼụlọ oriri ahụ, lee ka Heman tụrụ onwe ya nʼelu oche ahụ Esta na-adabere nʼelu ya. Eze sịrị, “Ọ chọrọ iwedakwa nwunye eze nʼala nʼihu m nʼụlọ m?” Ngwangwa okwu a si nʼọnụ eze pụta, ha kpuchiri Heman akwa nʼihu.
9 And Harbonah, one of the chamberlains, said before the king, Behold also, the gallows fifty cubits high, which Haman had made for Mordecai, who had spoken good for the king, standeth in the house of Haman. Then the king said, Hang him upon it.
Mgbe ahụ kwa, Habona otu nʼime ndị ozi eze gwara eze sị, “Onyenwe m, lee na Heman enyela iwu ka a kwadoo osisi nke ịdị elu ya bụ iri mita abụọ na atọ, ebe ọ chọrọrị ịnọ kwụgbuo Mọdekai, nwoke ahụ mere ka a ghara igbu eze. Osisi ahụ guzokwa ugbu a nʼihu ụlọ Heman.” Eze sịrị, “Kwụgbuonụ ya nʼosisi ahụ!”
10 So they hanged Haman on the gallows that he had prepared for Mordecai. Then was the king's wrath pacified.
Ya mere, ha kwụgburu Heman nʼosisi ahụ ọ kwadoro maka Mọdekai. Iwe eze dajụkwara.
