1 Saboda haka sarki da Haman suka tafi cin abinci wurin sarauniya Esta.
So the king and Haman went to drink with Queen Esther.
2 Yayinda suke shan ruwan inabi a rana ta biyun nan, sai sarki ya sāke tambaya, “Sarauniya Esta, me kike so? Za a ba ki. Mene ne roƙonki? Ko da rabin masarautata ne, za a ba ki.”
As they were drinking wine on that second day, the king again said to Esther, ‘Whatever your petition is, Queen Esther, it will be granted to you. Whatever you request it will be done, even if it takes half of the kingdom.’
3 Sai Sarauniya Esta ta amsa ta ce, “In na sami tagomashi a wurinka, ya sarki, in kuma mai girma ya yarda, a bar ni da raina, wannan shi ne roƙona. Ka kuma sa kada a kashe mutanena, wannan ita ce bukata.
Then Queen Esther answered, ‘Your Majesty, if I have won your favour, and if it seems best to Your Majesty, let my life be given me as my petition, and my people as my request,
4 Gama an sayar da ni da mutanena don a hallaka, a karkashe mu, a kuma ƙi mu. Da a ce an sayar da mu kamar bayi maza da mata ne, da na yi shiru, domin wannan zai zama abin da bai taka kara ya karye ba, har da za a dami sarki a kai.”
for I and my people have been sold to be destroyed, killed, and completely annihilated! If we had been merely sold into slavery I would not have disturbed your peace, because such a fate would not have affected the interests of the king.’
5 Sarki Zerzes ya tambayi Sarauniya Esta ya ce, “Wane ne shi? Ina mutumin da ya yi ƙarfin halin yin wannan karambani?”
Then King Ahasuerus said to Queen Esther, ‘Who is he and where is he whose heart has impelled him to do this?’
6 Esta ta ce, “Maƙiyi da abokin gāban, shi ne wannan mugun Haman.” Sai Haman ya tsorota a gaban sarki da sarauniya.
‘A foe, an enemy: this wicked Haman.’ Esther answered. Haman shrank in terror before the king and the queen.
7 Sarki ya tashi cikin fushi, ya bar ruwan inabinsa, ya fita zuwa cikin lambun fada. Amma da Haman ya gane cewa sarki ya riga ya yanke shawara a kan ƙaddararsa, ya dakata domin yă roƙi sarauniya Esta saboda ransa.
In his wrath the king rose from the place where he was drinking wine and went into the palace garden. Haman stayed to beg Queen Esther for his life, for he saw that the king was fully determined to bring calamity upon him.
8 Sarki yana dawowa daga lambun fada zuwa babban zauren liyafan ke nan, sai ga Haman ya fāɗi a kan shimfiɗar da Esta take zaune. Sarki ya tā da murya da ƙarfi ya ce, “Har ma zai ci mutuncin sarauniya yayinda take tare da ni a cikin gida?” Sarki bai ma rufe baki ba, sai bayin sarki suka rufe fuskar Haman.
As the king returned from the palace garden to the banquet hall, Haman had flung himself on Esther’s couch. The king cried, ‘Is he going to rape my queen while I am present in my own house?’ As the king spoke these words, the attendants covered Haman’s face
9 Sai Harbona, ɗaya daga cikin bābānni masu yi wa sarki hidima ya ce, “Akwai wurin rataye mai laifi da tsayinsa ya kai ƙafa saba’in da biyar yana nan tsaye kusa da gidan Haman. Ya gyara shi ne domin a rataye Mordekai, wanda ya yi cece sarki wanda ya tone makircin masu niyya su hallaka sarki.” Sai sarki ya ce, “Ku rataye shi a kansa!”
and Harbonah, one of those who waited on the king, said, ‘There are the gallows, seventy-five feet high, which Hainan erected for Mordecai, who spoke a good word in behalf of the king, standing in the house of Haman!’ The king said ‘Hang him on them.’
10 Saboda haka suka rataye Haman a kan wurin rataye mai laifin da shi Haman ya shirya saboda Mordekai. Sa’an nan sarki ya huce.
So they hanged Haman on the gallows that he had prepared for Mordecai. Then the wrath of the king was pacified.
