< Esetera 7 >

1 HELE mai la no hoi ke alii a me Hamana e ahainu me Esetera.
So the king and Haman came to banquet with Esther the queen.
2 Ninau hou mai la ke alii ia Esetera, i ka lua o ka la ma ka ahainuwaina, Heaha kau mea e nonoi mai ai, e ke alii wahine, e Esetera? E haawiia no ia ia oe. A heaha hoi kau kauoha? E hanaia no ia, ina paha o ka hapalua ia o ke aupuni.
And the king said again unto Esther on the second day at the banquet of wine: 'Whatever thy petition, queen Esther, it shall be granted thee; and whatever thy request, even to the half of the kingdom, it shall be performed.'
3 Olelo aku la o Esetera o ke alii wahine, i aku la, Ina i loaa ia'u ke alohaia mai, imua ou, e ke alii, a ina i lealea ke alii, alaila e haawiia ko'u ola no'u ma kuu nonoi ana, a me ko'u lahuikanaka hoi, ma ka'u kauoha.
Then Esther the queen answered and said: 'If I have found favour in thy sight, O king, and if it please the king, let my life be given me at my petition, and my people at my request;
4 No ka mea, ua kuaiia e lilo aku makou, owau, a me ko'u lahuikanaka, e lukuia, a e pepehiia hoi a make. Ina ua kuaiia a lilo aku makou i poe kauwakane, a i poe kauwawahine, ina ua olelo ole au, e hiki ole nae i ka enemi e pani i ka hakahaka o ko ke alii mea poho.
for we are sold, I and my people, to be destroyed, to be slain, and to perish. But if we had been sold for bondmen and bondwomen, I had held my peace, for the adversary is not worthy that the king be endamaged.'
5 Alaila, olelo mai ke alii, o Ahasuero, ninau mai la ia Esetera, i ke alii wahine, Owai la ia, auhea la hoi ka mea i hoopiha i kona naau, e hana pela?
Then spoke the king Ahasuerus and said unto Esther the queen: 'Who is he, and where is he, that durst presume in his heart to do so?'
6 I aku la o Esetera, O ka enemi ka mea i ku e mai, o keia Hamana hewa no. Alaila, makau o Hamana imua i ke alo o ke alii, a me ke alii wahine.
And Esther said: 'An adversary and an enemy, even this wicked Haman.' Then Haman was terrified before the king and the queen.
7 Ku ae la ke alii mai ka ahainuwaina, me ka huhu, a hele aku la i ka pakanu o ka hale alii: a ku mai la Hamana imua o Esetera, ke alii wahine, e nonoi ia ia i ke, ola nona; no ka mea, ua ike oia, ua hoomakaukauia ka hewa nona, e ke alii.
And the king arose in his wrath from the banquet of wine and went into the palace garden; but Haman remained to make request for his life to Esther the queen; for he saw that there was evil determined against him by the king.
8 A hoi mai la ke alii mai ka pakanu o ka hale alii, a i kahi o ka ahainuwaina: ua hina o Hamana maluna o kahi i moe ai o Esetera. Alaila, i iho la ke alii, E pue anei oia i ke alii wahine, imua o ko'u alo iloko o ka hale? A puka aku la ia olelo iwaho o ka waha o ke alii, uhi iho la lakou i ka maka o Hamana.
Then the king returned out of the palace garden into the place of the banquet of wine; and Haman was fallen upon the couch whereon Esther was. Then said the king: 'Will he even force the queen before me in the house?' As the word went out of the king's mouth, they covered Haman's face.
9 A olelo mai no hoi o Harebona, kekahi o na luna imua o ke alii, Aia hoi ke olokea, he kanalima kubita ke kiekie, ka mea a Hamana i hana'i no Moredekai, ka mea i olelo i ka maikai no ke alii, ke ku la no maloko o ka hale o Hamana. Alaila, i mai la ke alii, E liia oia nei maluna olaila.
Then said Harbonah, one of the chamberlains that were before the king: 'Behold also, the gallows fifty cubits high, which Haman hath made for Mordecai, who spoke good for the king, standeth in the house of Haman.' And the king said: 'Hang him thereon.'
10 A li lakou ia Hamana ma ke olokea ana i hoomakaukau ai no Moredekai. Alaila, ua pau ka huhu o ke alii.
So they hanged Haman on the gallows that he had prepared for Mordecai. Then was the king's wrath assuaged.
