Esta 5

1 A rana ta uku, Esta ta sanya rigunanta na sarauta, ta tafi ta tsaya a harabar fada, a gaban zaure sarki. Sarki yana zaune a kan gadon sarautarsa a zauren, yana fuskantar ƙofar shiga.

Now it came to pass on the third day, that Esther put on her royal apparel, and stood in the inner court of the king’s house, over against the king’s house: and the king sat on his royal throne in the royal house, over against the gate of the house.

2 Sa’ad da ya ga Sarauniya Esta tsaye a harabar, sai ya ji daɗin ganinta, ya miƙa mata sandan sarauta na zinariya da take hannunsa. Sai Esta ta matsa kusa ta taɓa kan sandan.

And it was so, when the king saw Esther the queen standing in the court, that she obtained favor in his sight: and the king held out to Esther the golden scepter that was in his hand. So Esther drew near, and touched the top of the scepter.

3 Sai sarki ya ce mata, “Me kike so, Sarauniya Esta? Mene ne roƙonki? Kai, ko rabin masarautata ce, za a ba ki.”

Then said the king to her, What will you, queen Esther? and what is your request? it shall be even given you to the half of the kingdom.

4 Esta ta ce, “In ya gamshi sarki, bari sarki, tare da Haman su zo wurin liyafar da na shirya wa sarki yau.”

And Esther answered, If it seem good to the king, let the king and Haman come this day to the banquet that I have prepared for him.

5 Sai sarki ya ce, “Maza a kawo Haman don mu yi abin da Esta ta roƙa.” Saboda haka, sarki da Haman suka tafi liyafar da Esta ta shirya.

Then the king said, Cause Haman to make haste, that he may do as Esther has said. So the king and Haman came to the banquet that Esther had prepared.

6 Yayinda suke shan ruwan inabi, sarki ya sāke ce wa Esta, “Yanzu, mece ce bukatarki? Za a biya miki shi. Kuma mene ne roƙonki? Kai, ko rabin masarautata ce, za a ba ki.”

And the king said to Esther at the banquet of wine, What is your petition? and it shall be granted you: and what is your request? even to the half of the kingdom it shall be performed.

7 Esta ta amsa ta ce, “Bukatata da kuma roƙona shi ne,

Then answered Esther, and said, My petition and my request is;

8 in na sami tagomashi a wurin sarki, in kuma sarki ya yarda yă biya mini bukatata, yă kuma ji roƙona, bari sarki da Haman su zo gobe wurin liyafar da zan shirya musu. Sa’an nan zan amsa tambayar sarki.”

If I have found favor in the sight of the king, and if it please the king to grant my petition, and to perform my request, let the king and Haman come to the banquet that I shall prepare for them, and I will do to morrow as the king has said.

9 Haman ya fita a ranan da murna, ya kuma ji daɗi. Amma sa’ad da ya ga Mordekai a bakin ƙofar sarki, ya kuma lura cewa bai tashi, ko yă nuna bangirma a gabansa ba, sai ya cika da fushi.

Then went Haman forth that day joyful and with a glad heart: but when Haman saw Mordecai in the king’s gate, that he stood not up, nor moved for him, he was full of indignation against Mordecai.

10 Duk da haka, Haman ya cije, ya tafi gida. Sai ya kira abokansa da kuma matarsa, Zeresh,

Nevertheless Haman refrained himself: and when he came home, he sent and called for his friends, and Zeresh his wife.

11 ya yi ta taƙama game da ɗumbun wadatarsa, da yawan’ya’yansa maza, da dukan yadda sarki ya girmama shi, ya kuma ɗaga shi bisan sauran hakimai da shugabanni.

And Haman told them of the glory of his riches, and the multitude of his children, and all the things wherein the king had promoted him, and how he had advanced him above the princes and servants of the king.

12 Haman ya ƙara da cewa, “Ba duka ke nan ba, kai, ni ne kaɗai mutumin da Sarauniya Esta ta gayyata yă tafi tare da sarki zuwa liyafar da ta shirya. Ta sāke gayyace ni tare da sarki gobe.

Haman said moreover, Yes, Esther the queen did let no man come in with the king to the banquet that she had prepared but myself; and to morrow am I invited to her also with the king.

13 Amma dukan wannan bai biya mini bukata ba, muddin ina ganin wannan mutumin Yahudan nan Mordekai, yana zama a bakin ƙofar sarki.”

Yet all this avails me nothing, so long as I see Mordecai the Jew sitting at the king’s gate.

14 Matarsa Zeresh, da dukan abokansa suka ce masa, “Ka sa a gina wurin rataye mai laifi, mai tsawo, ƙafa saba’in da biyar, da safe kuwa ka ce wa sarki a rataye Mordekai a kansa. Sa’an nan ka tafi cin abincin dare tare da sarki da murna.” Wannan shawarar ta faranta wa Haman rai, ya kuma sa aka gina wurin rataye mai laifi.

Then said Zeresh his wife and all his friends to him, Let a gallows be made of fifty cubits high, and to morrow speak you to the king that Mordecai may be hanged thereon: then go you in merrily with the king to the banquet. And the thing pleased Haman; and he caused the gallows to be made.
