< Esther 5 >

1 And it cometh to pass on the third day, that Esther putteth on royalty, and standeth in the inner-court of the house of the king over-against the house of the king, and the king is sitting on his royal throne, in the royal-house, over-against the opening 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 and it cometh to pass, at the king's seeing Esther the queen standing in the court, she hath received grace in his eyes, and the king holdeth out to Esther the golden sceptre that [is] in his hand, and Esther draweth near, and toucheth the top of the sceptre.
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 And the king saith to her, 'What — to thee Esther, O queen? and what thy request? unto the half of the kingdom — and it is given to thee.'
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 And Esther saith, 'If unto the king [it be] good, the king doth come in, and Haman, to-day, unto the banquet that I have made 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 and the king saith, 'Haste ye Haman — to do the word of Esther;' and the king cometh in, and Haman, unto the banquet that Esther hath made.
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 And the king saith to Esther, during the banquet of wine, 'What [is] thy petition? and it is given to thee; and what thy request? unto the half of the kingdom — and it is done.'
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 And Esther answereth and saith, 'My petition and my request [is]:
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 grace in the eyes of the king, and if unto the king [it be] good, to give my petition, and to perform my request, the king doth come, and Haman, unto the banquet that I make for them, and to-morrow I do according to the word of the king.'
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 And Haman goeth forth on that day rejoicing and glad in heart, and at Haman's seeing Mordecai in the gate of the king, and he hath not risen nor moved for him, then is Haman full of fury 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 And Haman forceth himself, and cometh in unto his house, and sendeth, and bringeth in 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 and Haman recounteth to them the glory of his wealth, and the abundance of his sons, and all that with which the king made him great, and with which he lifted him up above the heads 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 And Haman saith, 'Yea, Esther the queen brought none in with the king, unto the feast that she made, except myself, and also for to-morrow I am called to her, 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 and all this is not profitable to me, during all the time that I am seeing Mordecai the Jew sitting in the gate of the king.'
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 And Zeresh his wife saith to him, and all his friends, 'Let them prepare a tree, in height fifty cubits, and in the morning speak to the king, and they hang Mordecai on it, and go thou in with the king unto the banquet rejoicing;' and the thing is good before Haman, and he prepareth the tree.
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.
