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.
And it came to pass on the third day, that Esther put on her royal apparel, and placed herself in the inner court of the king's house, opposite the king's apartment; and the king was sitting upon his royal throne in the royal apartment, opposite to the entrance 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 happened, when the king saw Esther the queen standing in the court, that she obtained grace in his eyes; and the king held out to Esther the golden sceptre that was in his hand; and Esther drew near, and touched the top of the sceptre.
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 unto her, What wilt thou, queen Esther? and what is thy request? if it be equal to half of the kingdom it shall still be given thee.
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 said, If it seem good unto the king, let the king and Haman come this day unto the banquet which 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 said the king, Bring Haman quickly hither to fulfill the word of Esther: so came the king with Haman to the banquet which 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 unto Esther at the banquet of wine, What is thy petition? and it shall be granted thee: and what is thy request? even if it be equal to half of the kingdom, it shall still be done.
7 Esta ta amsa ta ce, “Bukatata da kuma roƙona shi ne,
Then answered Esther, and said, My petition and my request are,
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 grace in the eyes of the king, and if it please the king to grant my petition, and to fulfill my request, that the king may come with Haman to the banquet which I will prepare for them, and tomorrow will I do according to the word of the king.
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.
And Haman went forth on that day joyful and with a glad heart; but when Haman saw Mordecai in the king's gate, who did not rise up, nor move out of the way for him, then was Haman filled against Mordecai with fury.
10 Duk da haka, Haman ya cije, ya tafi gida. Sai ya kira abokansa da kuma matarsa, Zeresh,
Nevertheless Haman refrained himself, and went to his house: he then sent and had his friends brought in with 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 recounted to them the glory of his riches, and the multitude of his children, and all the things wherein the king had made him great, and how he had advanced him above the princes and the 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.
And Haman said [farther], Yea, Esther the queen did not let any one come in with the king unto the banquet that she had prepared but myself: and also for tomorrow am I invited unto her 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 profiteth me nothing, every time that I see Mordecai the Jew sitting in 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 unto him Zeresh his wife with all his friends, Let them make a gallows of fifty cubits high, and in the mourning speak unto the king that they may hang Mordecai thereon; and then go thou in with the king unto the banquet joyfully. And the thing pleased Haman; and he had the gallows made.
