Esta 7
1 Ana higeno kini ne'ene Hemanikea kuini a' Esta'ma retro'ma hu'nea ne'za ome nenaku vu'na'e.
So the king and Haman went to eat the second banquet/feast that Queen Esther had prepared.
2 Hagi namba 2 zupama krentea ne'zane waini tinema neneno'a, kini ne'mo'a ete mago'ane Estana amanage huno antahige'ne, Kuini a' Estaga nazanku kave'nesifi nasmio? Na'ankuro nantahima kesana zana amne kamigahue. Kegavama hu'noa mopagu'ma nantahigesanke'na amne amu'nompintira refko hugamigahue.
As they were drinking wine, the king asked again, “Esther, what do you want me to do [for you? Tell me, and] I will do it for you. Even if [you ask me for] half of my kingdom, I will give it to you.”
3 Higeno anante kuini a' Esta'a kenona'a huno, kini ne'moka musema hunantenka kavesi nantenunka, kantahigoanki nagri'ene vahe'ni'anena tahe ofrio.
Esther replied, “O king, if you are pleased with me, and if you are willing to do [what I ask], save me, and save my people. That is what I want you to do for me.
4 Na'ankure nagri'ene vahe'ni'anena ko tahe'za akafri kafro nehu'za tazeri havizama nehu'za tahe vagamaresageta frisuna vahe zamazampi zagore tatre'naze. Hagi kazokzo eri'za vahe'ma tavarenaku'ma hiresina, nagra amanahu kea hu'na kna onkamusine. Hianagi nagri'ene naga'ni'anena mika'a tahe vagareke hu'naze.
[It is as though] I and my people [are cattle that] have been sold to be slaughtered. [It is as though] we have been sold to people who want to completely destroy us. If we had only been sold to people to become their male and female slaves, I would not say anything, because that would have been a matter too small to bother you, the king.”
5 Higeno kini ne' Serksisi'a kuini a' Estankura amanage hu'ne, Iza e'inahu kea hu'ne? Iga ana nera mani'nea ne'mo e'inahu zana huke hu'ne?
Then King Xerxes asked her, “Who would want to do such a [terrible] thing? Where is he?”
6 Higeno Esta'a kenona'a huno, E'i ana kefo avu'ava'ma nehuno ha'ma renerantea nera Hemanikino ama mani'ne. Anage higeno Hemani'a kuini a'mofo avugane, kini ne'mofo avuga tusi agogogu nehuno ahirahiku hu'ne.
Esther replied, “[The man who is] our enemy is this evil man Haman!” Then Haman was terrified as he stood in front of the king and queen.
7 Anage higeno kini ne'mo'a, tusi arimpa ahegeno otino atiramino knagune hozafi vu'ne. E'inama higeno'a, Hemani'a mani'neno kuini a'mo'ma asunku'ma huntesigu amesumesu hu'ne. Na'ankure agrama antahiana, kini ne'mo'ma eme ahe frizanku anara hu'ne.
The king became extremely angry. He immediately left his wine and got up and went outside into the palace garden [to decide what to do]. But Haman stayed, in order to plead with Queen Esther that she would spare his life.
8 Hagi kini ne'mo'ma knagune hozafinti'ma eno'ma eme keana Hemani'a kuini a'mofo tava'onte agafi mase'za nehigeno eme ke'ne. Hagi anante kini ne'mo'a huno, Ama ne'mo'a navufi kuini a' anteno vase'za nehifi? Anagema nehigeno'a, kini ne'mo'ma vahe'ma ahe frinaku'ma nehigeno'ma nehiaza hu'za eri'za vahe'amo'za ame hu'za Hemani agenopa tavravenu refite'naze.
He threw himself down on the couch where Esther was reclining. But at that moment the king returned from the garden to the room where they had been eating. [He saw Haman, and assumed he was preparing to rape Esther]. He exclaimed, “Are you going to rape the queen while she is here with me in my own palace?” As soon as the king said that, some officials covered Haman’s head, [as they did to people who were about to be hanged].
9 Ana higeno anante kini ne'mofo eri'za ne'ma agonknazama hari'naza ne' Habona'a amanage hu'ne, 22mita hu'nea za'za zafa kuma'afina retrurente'neno, kini ne'mokama kahenaku'ma nehazageno hufore'ma huno kagu'ma vazi'nea ne' Modekaima aheno hanti'niaza retro hunte'ne, huno higeno kini ne'mo'a huno, Hemanina azerita ana zafare ome aheta hantiho.
Then Harbona, one of the king’s personal officials, said, “[Outside, ] near Haman’s house, there is a (gallows/set of poles for hanging someone). It is 75 feet high. Haman made it for Mordecai, the man who spared your life!” The king said, “Hang him on it!”
10 Hige'za Modekaiama aheno hantinaku'ma Hemani'ma retro'ma hunte'nea zafare ahe'za hanti'naze. Ana hazageno kini ne'mofo arimpa ahe'zamo'a evurami'ne.
So they hanged Haman on the gallows that he had prepared for hanging Mordecai! And then (the king’s anger cooled off/the king was no longer so angry).
