Estera 7
1 Ary ny mpanjaka sy Hamana dia nankao amin’ i Estera, vadin’ ny mpanjaka, ho ao amin’ ny fanasana
So the king and Haman came to take wine with Esther the queen.
2 Ary hoy indray ny mpanjaka tamin’ i Estera teo am-pisotroan-divay tamin’ ny andro faharoa inona no angatahinao, ry Estera, vadin’ ny mpanjaka? Fa homena anao izany. Ary inona ange no tadiavinao? Fa na dia hatramin’ ny antsasaky ny fanjakana aza dia hotovina izany.
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 Dia namaly Estera, vadin’ ny mpanjaka, ka nanao hoe: Raha mahita fitia eto imasonao ary aho, ry mpanjaka, ka sitraky ny mpanjaka, dia aoka homena ahy ny aiko araka ny fifonako ary ny fireneko araka ny fangatahako;
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 fa namidy izahay, dia izaho sy ny fireneko, mba haringana sy hovonoina ary haripaka; fa raha tahìny namidy ho andevolahy sy ho andevovavy izahay, dia ho nangina ihany aho; kanefa anie tsy mahonitra ny fatiantoky ny mpanjaka tsinona ilay fahavalo e.
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 Dia namaly Ahasoerosy mpanjaka ka nanao tamin’ i Estera, vadin’ ny mpanjaka, hoe: Iza moa izany, ary aiza no hisy hasesiky ny fony hanao izany akory?
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 Fa hoy Estera: Io Hamana ratsy fanahy io no rafilahy sy fahavalo! Dia raiki-tahotra teo anatrehan’ ny mpanjaka sy ny vadin’ ny mpanjaka Hamana.
And Esther said, Our hater and attacker is this evil Haman. Then Haman was full of fear before the king and the queen.
7 Ary tezitra dia tezitra ny mpanjaka, dia nitsangana niala teo am-pisotroan-divay ho eny an-tanimbolin’ ny trano; ary Hamana kosa nitsangana hangataka ny ainy tamin’ i Estera, vadin’ ny mpanjaka, satria hitany fa misy loza hamelin’ ny mpanjaka azy.
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 Ary ny mpanjaka niverina avy teo an-tanimbolin’ ny trano ho ao amin’ ilay efa nisotroany divay teo, ary Hamana sendra niapoka tamin’ ny farafara nandrian’ i Estera. Dia hoy ny mpanjaka: Moa hisavika ny vadin’ ny mpanjaka eto anatrehako eto an-trano va io? Raha vantany vao naloaky ny vavan’ ny mpanjaka izany teny izany, dia nisy nanarona ny tavan’ i Hamana
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 Ary Harbona, tsindranolahy anankiray, izay teo anatrehan’ ny mpanjaka, dia nilaza hoe Indro miorina eo akaikin’ ny tranon’ i Hamana ny hazo, dimam-polo hakiho ny hahavony, izay nataon’ i Hamana hanantonany an’ i Mordekay, ilay niteny soa ho an’ ny mpanjaka. Dia hoy ny mpanjaka ahantòny amin’ io izy.
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 Ary Hamana dia nahantony tamin’ ilay hazo efa natsangany hanantonana an’ i Mordekay. Dia vao izay no nionona ny hatezeran’ ny mpanjaka.
So Haman was put to death by hanging him on the pillar he had made for Mordecai. Then the king's wrath became less.
