< 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.
The king said again to Esther on the second day at the banquet of wine, “What is your petition, queen Esther? It shall be granted you. What is your 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, “If I have found favour in your sight, O king, and if it pleases 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 male and female slaves, I would have held my peace, although the adversary could not have compensated for the king’s loss.”
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 King Ahasuerus said to Esther the queen, “Who is he, and where is he who dared 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.
Esther said, “An adversary and an enemy, even this wicked Haman!” Then Haman was afraid 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.
The king arose in his wrath from the banquet of wine and went into the palace garden. Haman stood up 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 had fallen on the couch where Esther was. Then the king said, “Will he even assault the queen in front of 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 Harbonah, one of the eunuchs who were with the king, said, “Behold, the gallows fifty cubits high, which Haman has made for Mordecai, who spoke good for the king, is standing at Haman’s house.” The king said, “Hang him on it!”
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 the king’s wrath was pacified.
