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 banquet 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.
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 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 answered, “If I have found favor 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 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 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 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 dared presume in his heart to do so?”
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.
Esther said, “An adversary and an enemy, even this wicked Haman!” Then Haman was afraid 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.
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 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 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 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 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 Ary Hamana dia nahantony tamin’ ilay hazo efa natsangany hanantonana an’ i Mordekay. Dia vao izay no nionona ny hatezeran’ ny mpanjaka.
So they hanged Haman on the gallows that he had prepared for Mordecai. Then the king’s wrath was pacified.
