< Ester 7 >

1 Napan ngarud ti ari ken ni Haman iti padaya ni Ester.
So the king and Aman went in to drink with 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 at the banquet on the second day, What is it, queen Esther? and what [is] your request, and what [is] your petition? and it shall be [done] for you, 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.
And she answered and said, If I have found favor in the sight of the king, let [my] life be granted to my petition, and my people to 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 both I and my people are sold for destruction, and pillage, and slavery; [both] we and our children for bondmen and bondwomen: and I consented not to it, for the [is] not worthy of the king's palace.
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?”
And the king said, Who [is] this that has dared to do this thing?
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, the adversary [is] Aman, this wicked man. Then Aman was troubled 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 rose up from the banquet to go into the garden: and Aman began to entreat the queen; for he saw that he was in an evil case.
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.
And the king returned from the garden; and Aman had fallen upon the bed, intreating the queen. And the king said, Will you even force [my] wife in my house? And when Aman heard it, he changed countenance.
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.”
And Bugathan, one of the chamberlains, said to the king, Behold, Aman has also prepared a gallows for Mardochaeus, who spoke concerning the king, and a gallows of fifty cubits high has been set up in the premises of Aman. And the king said, Let him be hanged thereon.
10 Isu nga imbitinda ni Haman iti pagbitayan nga insaganana para kenni Mardokeo. Ket bimmaaw ti pungtot ti ari.
So Aman was hanged on the gallows that had been prepared for Mardochaeus: and then the king's wrath was appeased.
