Esther 5
1 Forsothe in the thridde dai Hester was clothid in `the kyngis clothis, and stood in the porche of the kyngis hows, that was `the ynnere ayens the kyngis halle; and he sat on his trone, in the consistorie of the paleis, ayens the dore of the hows.
Baada ya siku tatu, Esta akajivika mavazi yake ya kimalkia na akasimama sehemu ya ndani ya ua wa ikulu ya mfalme, mbele ya nyumba ya mfalme. mfalme alikuwa ameketi katika kiti chake cha enzi na akitazama mlango wa kuingilia.
2 And whanne he hadde seyn Hester, the queen, stondynge, sche pleside hise iyen, and he helde forth ayens hir the goldun yerde, which he helde in the hond; and sche neiyide, and kisside the hiynesse of his yerde.
Mfalme alipomwona malkia Esta alipata kibali kwa mfalme. Alimpa fimbo ya dhahabu mikononi mwa Esta. Hivyo Esta akamsogelea mfalme na kuishika fimbo ya utawala.
3 And the king seide to hir, Hester, the queen, what `wolt thou? what is thin axyng? Yhe, thouy thou axist the half part of my rewme, it schal be youun to thee.
Kisha mfalme akamwambia Malkia Esta, “Unahitaji upewe nini? Ombi lako ni lipi? Hata nusu ya ufalme wangu utapewa.”
4 And sche answeride, If it plesith the kyng, Y biseche, that thou come to me to dai, and Aaman with thee, to the feeste, which Y haue maad redi.
Malkia Esta akamwambia mfalme, kama nimepata kibali machoni pako, naomba wewe na Hamani muhudhurie leo katika karamu niliyoiandaa kwa ajili yake.”
5 And anoon the king seide, Clepe ye Aaman soone, that he obeie to the wille of Hester. Therfor the kyng and Aaman camen to the feeste, which the queen hadde maad redi to hem.
Mfalme akasema, “Mleteni haraka Hamani sawa sawa na matakwa ya Malkia Esta.” Mfalme pamoja na Hamani wakahuduria katika karamu aliyoandaa malkia Esta.
6 And the king seide to hir, aftir that he hadde drunk wiyn plenteuousli, What axist thou, that it be youun to thee, and for what thing axist thou? Yhe, thouy thou axist the half part of my rewme, thou schalt gete.
Mvinyo ulipohudumiwa katika karamu, mfalme akamuuliza Malkia Esta hitaji lako ni nini? Na ombi lako ni lipi? Utapewa hata nusu ya ufalme.”
7 To whom Hester answeride, My axyng and preieris ben these.
Esta akajibu mfalme, “Hitaji na ombi langu ni hili,
8 If Y haue founde grace in the siyt of the kyng, and if it plesith the kyng, that he yyue to me that, that Y axe, and that he fille myn axyng, the kyng and Aaman come to the feeste, which Y haue maad redi to hem; and to morewe Y schal opene my wille to the kyng.
kama ikikupendeza mfalme, kwa kunipa haja yangu na kuheshimu ombi langu, wewe na Hamani muhudhurie tena katika karamu nitakayoiandaa kesho na hapo ndipo nitakapo kuambia haja yangu.
9 Therfor Aaman yede out glad and swift `in that dai. And whanne he hadde seyn Mardochee sittynge bifor the yatis of the paleys, and not oneli to haue not rise to hym, but sotheli nether moued fro the place of his sittyng, he was ful wrooth;
Hamani akaenda nyumbani kwakwe huku akiwa amejawa na furaha moyoni mwake. Lakini alipomwona Modekai katika lango la mfalme, modekai hasimami wala kutetemeka mbele zake, alijawa na ghadhabu kwa ajili ya Modekai.
10 and `whanne the ire was dissymelid, he turnede ayen in to his hows, and he clepide togidire `to him silf frendis, and Zares, his wijf;
Lakini akajizuia na akaenda nyumbani kwake. Akawaarika marafiki zake wakakusanyika pamoja na Zereshi, mkewe.
11 and he declaride to hem the greetnesse of his richessis, and the cumpeny of children, and with hou greet glorie the kyng hadde enhaunsid hym aboue alle hise princis and seruauntis.
Hamani akawaeleza juu ya utukufu wa mali na idadi ya watoto aliokuwa nao, na vile alivyo juu kuliko wasimamizi na watumishi wote wa mfalme.
12 And he seide after these thinges, Also the queen Hester clepide noon other man with the kyng to the feeste, outakun me, anentis `which queen Y schal ete also to morewe with the kyng.
Hamani akawambia, “Hata jana Malkia Esta aliandaa karamu kwa ajili ya mfalme na ni mimi tu na mfalme tulio hudhuria katika karamu aliyoiandaa Malkia Esta. Na hata kesho tuna mwaliko mwingine pamoja na mfalme.
13 And whanne Y haue alle these thingis, Y gesse that Y haue no thing, as long as Y se Mardochee, Jew, sittynge bifor the `kyngis yatis.
Lakini haya yote sio kitu kama Modekai ataendelea kukaa katika lango la mfalme.
14 And Zares, his wijf, and othere frendis answeriden to hym, Comaunde thou an hiy beem to be maad redi, hauynge fifti cubitis of heiythe; and seie thou eerly to the kyng, that Mardochee be hangid theronne; and so thou schalt go glad with the kyng to the feeste. And the counsel plesyde him, and he comaundide an hiy cros to be maad redi.
Kisha Zereshi, mkewe Hamani akamwambia Mmewe na rafiki zake wote, “Andaeni mti wenye urefu wa futi hamsini. Na wakati wa ahsubuhi ongea na mfalme ili Modekai atundikwe katika mti huo. Kisha nenda kwa furaha na mfalme katika karamu aliyoiandaa Malkia.
