Ester 7
1 Napan ngarud ti ari ken ni Haman iti padaya ni Ester.
So the king and Haman came to take wine with Esther the queen.
2 Iti daytoy a maikadua nga aldaw, kabayatan nga idasdasarda ti arak, kinuna ti ari kenni Ester, “Ania ti dawatmo, Reyna Ester? Maipaayto daytoy kenka. Ania ti kiddawmo? Agingga iti kagudua ti pagarian, maipaayto daytoy.”
And the king said to Esther again on the second day, while they were drinking, What is your prayer, Queen Esther? for it will be given to you; and what is your request? for it will be done, even to the half of my kingdom.
3 Ket simmungbat ni Reyna Ester, “No nakasarakak iti pabor kadagiti matam, ari, ken no makaay-ayo daytoy kenka, ipalubosmo a maited kaniak ti biagko—daytoy ti dawatko, ken kiddawek met daytoy para kadagiti tattaok.
Then Esther the queen, answering, said, If I have your approval, O king, and if it is the king's pleasure, let my life be given to me in answer to my prayer, and my people at my request:
4 Ta nailakokami, siak ken dagiti tattaok, tapno madadael, mapapatay, ken mapukaw. No nailakokami laeng iti pannakatagabu, a kas tagabu a lallaki ken babbai, agulimekak latta koman ta saan nga umno a rengrengen ti ari gapu laeng iti kastoy a riribuk.”
For we are given up, I and my people, to destruction and death and to be cut off. If we had been taken as men-servants and women-servants for a price, I would have said nothing, for our trouble is little in comparison with the king's loss.
5 Ket kinuna ni Ari Ahasuero kenni Ester a reyna, “Siasino isuna? Sadino ti ayan dayta a tao a natured a nangpanunot tapno aramidenna ti kasta a banag?”
Then King Ahasuerus said to Esther the queen, Who is he and where is he who has had this evil thought in his heart?
6 Kinuna ni Ester, “Ti naunget a lalaki, dayta a kabusor, ket daytoy managdakdakes a ni Haman!” Ket kasta unay ti buteng ni Haman iti sangoanan ti ari ken ti reyna.
And Esther said, Our hater and attacker is this evil Haman. Then Haman was full of fear before the king and the queen.
7 Sipupungtot a timmakder ti ari gapu iti panaginomna iti arak iti dayta a pannangan ket napan iti minuyongan ti palasio, ngem nagtalinaed ni Haman tapno agpakaasi kenni Reyna Ester para iti biagna. Nadlawna nga ikedkeddengen ti ari ti didigra a maibusor kenkuana.
And the king in his wrath got up from the feast and went into the garden: and Haman got to his feet to make a prayer for his life to Esther the queen: for he saw that the king's purpose was evil against him.
8 Kalpasanna, nagsubli ti ari iti siled manipud iti minuyongan ti palasio a nakaidasaran ti arak. Nakapakleb ni Haman iti sofa nga isu ti ayan ni Ester. Kinuna ti ari, “Ramesenna kadi ti reyna iti imatangko, iti bukodko a balay?” Apaman a naisao ti ari daytoy, inabungotan dagiti adipen ti rupa ni Haman.
Then the king came back from the garden into the room where they had been drinking; and Haman was stretched out on the seat where Esther was. Then the king said, Is he taking the queen by force before my eyes in my house? And while the words were on the king's lips, they put a cloth over Haman's face.
9 Ket kinuna ni Harbona, a maysa kadagiti opisial nga agserserbi iti ari, “Maysa a pagbitayan a lima a cubico ti kangatona ti nakatakder iti abay ti balay ni Haman. Inaramidna daytoy para kenni Mardokeo, daydiay a nagsarita tapno masalakniban ti ari.” Kinuna ti ari, “Bitayenyo isuna sadiay.”
Then Harbonah, one of the unsexed servants waiting before the king, said, See, the pillar fifty cubits high, which Haman made for Mordecai, who said a good word for the king, is still in its place in Haman's house. Then the king said, Put him to death by hanging him on it.
10 Isu nga imbitinda ni Haman iti pagbitayan nga insaganana para kenni Mardokeo. Ket bimmaaw ti pungtot ti ari.
So Haman was put to death by hanging him on the pillar he had made for Mordecai. Then the king's wrath became less.
