Esther 7
1 So the king and Haman came to banquet with Esther the queen.
Kwa hiyo mfalme na Hamani wakaenda kausherekea na malkia Esta.
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.
Katika siku ya pili, baada ya kuletwa mvinyo, mfalme akamwambia Esta, “Ni nini haja ya moyo wako? Na nini ombi lako? Hata nusu ya ufalme wangu utapewa.”
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:
Kisha Malkia amwambia mfalme, kama nimepata kibali machoni pako, na kama ikikupendeza, nipewe maisha yangu, na hili ndio haja ya moyo wangu, na hili pia ni ombi kwa watu wangu pia.
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.
Kwa kuwa mimi na watu wangu tumeuzwa, ili tuharibiwe, tuuwawe, na tungamizwe. Kama tungeuzwa utumwani, kama wanaume na wanawake, ningenyamaza kimya, na nisingeweza kumsumbua mfame.”
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?
Kisha Mfalme Ahusiero akamwambia malkia Esta, “Ni nani huyo? Ni nani aliyekusudia moyoni mwake kutenda jambo hili?
6 And Esther said, The adversary and enemy [is] this wicked Haman. Then Haman was afraid before the king and the queen.
Esta akasema, “Ni huyu mwovu Hamani, adui!” Hamani akashikwa na Hofu mbele za mfalme na malkia.
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.
Na kwa ghadhabu mfalme akatoka karamuni katika sehemu ya mvinyo na akaenda katika bustani ya ikulu, Lakini Hamani alibaki akimsihi Malkia Esta ili aokoe maisha yake. Kwa sababu aliona mfalme amemkusudia ubaya.
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.
Mfalme akarudi kutoka katika bustani ya ikulu, na kuingia katika chumba ambamo kulikuwamo mvinyo. Hamani alikuwa ameanguka chini ya kochi alilokuwa ameketi Esta. Mfalme akakasirika na kusema, “atamdharirisha malkia mbele zangu katika nyumba yangu?” Mara tu maneno haya yalipotoka kinywani mwa mfalme, watumizhi wakafunika uso wa Hamani.
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.
Kisha Habona, mmoja wa watumishi aliye mtumikia mfalme akamwambia mfalme, “Mti wenye urefu wa futi hamsini uko nyumbani kwa Hamani. Ulikuwa umeandaliwa kwa ajili ya Modekai, aliye toa taarifa kuhusu mpango wa kuangamizwa kwako.” Mfalme akesema,”Mtundikeni Hamani juu yake.”
10 So they hanged Haman on the gallows that he had prepared for Mordecai. Then was the king's wrath pacified.
Kwa hiyo wakamtundika Hamani kwenye mti aliuandaa kwa ajili ya Modekai. Na hasira ya mfalme ikatulia.
