Esther 5
1 Now on the third day, Esther put on her royal clothing and stood in the inner court of the king’s house, next to the king’s house. The king sat on his royal throne in the royal house, next to the entrance of the house.
A I ke kolu o ka la, hookomo ae la o Esetera i ka lole alii, a ku aku la ma ka pahale iloko o ka hale o ke alii, ma ke alo o ka hale o ke alii. A e noho ana no ke alii ma kona nohoalii, ma ka hale alii, ma ke alo o ka pukapa o ka hale.
2 When the king saw Esther the queen standing in the court, she obtained favor in his sight; and the king held out to Esther the golden scepter that was in his hand. So Esther came near and touched the top of the scepter.
A ike mai la ke alii ia Esetera, i ke alii wahine, e ku ana maloko o ka pahale. loaa ia ia ke alohaia mai e ia; a o mai la ke alii i ke kookooalii gula ma kona lima ia Esetera. Hookokoke aku la o Esetera, a hoopa aku la i ka welau o ke kookooalii.
3 Then the king asked her, “What would you like, queen Esther? What is your request? It shall be given you even to the half of the kingdom.”
Alaila i mai ke alii ia ia, Heaha kau, e ke alii wahine, e Esetera, a keaha hoi kau mea e noi mai ai? E haawiia'ku no ia ia oe, ina paha o ka hapalua ia o ke aupuni.
4 Esther said, “If it seems good to the king, let the king and Haman come today to the banquet that I have prepared for him.”
I aku la o Esetera, Ina he maikai ia i ke alii, e hele mai ke alii a me Hamana, i keia la, i ka ahainu a'u i hoomakaukau ai nona.
5 Then the king said, “Bring Haman quickly, so that it may be done as Esther has said.” So the king and Haman came to the banquet that Esther had prepared.
Alaila, olelo aku ke alii, E hoolalelale ia Hamana, e hana oia i ka mea a Esetera i olelo ai. A hele mai la ke alii a me Hamana i ka ahainu a Esetera i hoomakaukau ai.
6 The king said to Esther at the banquet of wine, “What is your petition? It shall be granted you. What is your request? Even to the half of the kingdom it shall be performed.”
Olelo mai la ke alii ia Esetera, ma ka ahainu waina, Heaha kau mea e noi mai ai? E haawiia no ia ia oe. A heaha hoi kau kauoha? Ina paha o ka hapalua ia o ke aupuni e hanaia no ia.
7 Then Esther answered and said, “My petition and my request is this.
Alaila, olelo aku la o Esetera, i aku la, Eia kuu mea e noi aku ai, a me ka'u kauoha hoi.
8 If I have found favor in the sight of the king, and if it pleases the king to grant my petition and to perform my request, let the king and Haman come to the banquet that I will prepare for them, and I will do tomorrow as the king has said.”
Ina i loaa ia'u ke alohaia mai e ke alii, a ina i lealea ke alii i ka haawi mai i ka'u mea e noi aku ai, a e hana hoi e like me ka'u kauoha ana, e hele mai ke alii a me Hamana i ka ahainu a'u e hoomakaukau ai no laua, a apopo e hana no wau e like me ka olelo a ke alii.
9 Then Haman went out that day joyful and glad of heart, but when Haman saw Mordecai in the king’s gate, that he didn’t stand up nor move for him, he was filled with wrath against Mordecai.
Puka aku la o Hamana iwaho ia la, me ka olioli, a me ka naau mama. A ike ae la oia ia Moredekai ma ka pukapa o ke alii, aole i ka iluna, aole i neenee aku nona, piha loa iho la ia i ka ukiuki ia Moredekai.
10 Nevertheless Haman restrained himself, and went home. There, he sent and called for his friends and Zeresh his wife.
Uumi iho la o Hamana i kona manao; a hoi aku la oia i kona wahi, alaila kii aku la oia i kona poe makamaka, a me Zeresa kana wahine.
11 Haman recounted to them the glory of his riches, the multitude of his children, all the things in which the king had promoted him, and how he had advanced him above the princes and servants of the king.
A hai aku la o Hamana ia lakou i ka nani o kona waiwai, a i ka lehulehu o kana poe keiki, a i na mea a pau a ke alii i hookiekie ai ia ia, a me kona hoonoho ana ia ia maluna o na kuhina a me na kanaka o ke alii.
12 Haman also said, “Yes, Esther the queen let no man come in with the king to the banquet that she had prepared but myself; and tomorrow I am also invited by her together with the king.
Olelo aku la no hoi o Hamana, He oiaio, aole i hookomo o Esetera ke alii wahine, i kekahi mea e ae me ke alii i ka ahainu, ana i hoomakaukau ai, ia'u wale no. A ua kiina mai hoi au e hele io na la me ke alii i ka la apopo.
13 Yet all this avails me nothing, so long as I see Mordecai the Jew sitting at the king’s gate.”
Aka, he mea ole ia'u keia mau mea a pau, ia'u e ike aka ai ia Moredekai ka Iudaio, e noho ana ma ka pukapa o ke alii.
14 Then Zeresh his wife and all his friends said to him, “Let a gallows be made fifty cubits high, and in the morning speak to the king about hanging Mordecai on it. Then go in merrily with the king to the banquet.” This pleased Haman, so he had the gallows made.
Alaila, olelo mai la ia ia o Zeresa kana wahine, a me kona poe makamaka a pau, E hanaia he olokea, i kanalima kubita ke kiekia; a apopo, e olelo aku oe i ke alii, i liia o Moredekai maluna olaila. Alaila, e hele olioli oe i ka ahainu me ke alii. Ua maikai ia i ka manao o Hamana, a hana iho la oia i ke olokea.
