Estera 5
1 Ie amy andro fahateloy, le naombe’ i Estere o sarom-panjaka’eo, le nijohañe an-kiririsa añate’ i anjombam-panjakay, tandrife i anjombam-panjakay; niambesatse amy fiambesam-panjakay amy anjombam-panjakay i mpanjakay, tandrife ty fizilihañe amy anjombay.
After three days, Esther put on her royal clothes and went to stand in the courtyard of the king's palace, in front of the king's house. The king was sitting on his royal throne in the royal house, facing the entrance to the house.
2 Aa ie niisa’ i mpanjakay te nijohañe an-kiririsa ao t’i Estere, mpanjaka-ampela, le nanjo fañisohañe am-pihaino’e; vaho nahiti’ i mpanjakay ama’e i kobaim-bolamena am-pità’ey, Aa le nañarine aze t’i Estere nitsapa ty loha’ i kobaiñey.
When the king saw Esther the queen standing in the courtyard, she received approval in his eyes. He held out to her the golden scepter in his hand. So Esther approached and touched the tip of the scepter.
3 Le nanoa’ i mpanjakay ty hoe: Ino ty ama’o ry Estere, mpanjaka-ampela? fa ndra inoñ’ ino ty ihalalia’o pak’ an-tsasa i fifeheakoy, le hatoloko.
Then the king said to her, “What do you want, Queen Esther? What is your request? Up to half of my kingdom, it will be given to you.”
4 Le hoe t’i Estere: Naho atao’ i mpanjakay te soa, le ehe te homb’ an-takataka hinalankako ho aze i mpanjakay naho i Hamane te anito.
Esther said, “If it pleases the king, let the king and Haman come today to a feast that I have prepared for him.”
5 Aa le hoe i mpanjakay, Taentaeno t’i Hamane, hahahenefañe i saontsi’ i Esterey. Aa le nimb’ amy takataka nihajarie’ i Esterey i mpanjakay naho i Hamane.
Then the king said, “Bring Haman quickly, to do what Esther has said.” So the king and Haman went to the feast that Esther had prepared.
6 Le hoe i mpanjakay amy Estere ami’ty fanjotsoañe divay, Ndra inoñe ty ihalalia’o, le hatolotse azo; ndra ino ty hàta’o, ampara’ ty vakim-pifeheako, le hanoeñe.
When the wine was being served at the feast, the king said to Esther, “What is your petition? It will be granted you. What is your request? Up to half of the kingdom, it will be granted.”
7 Le hoe ty natoi’ i Estere: Ty irieko naho ty halaliko—
Esther answered, “My petition and my request is this,
8 naho nanjo fañisohañe am-pahaisaha’ i mpanjakay, lehe no’ i mpanjakay ty hanolotse i hatakoy, hanao i halalikoy—le ehe te hiheo mb’ an-tsabadidake hanoeko ho a iareo i mpanjakay naho i Hamane fa hanoeko hamaray i nisaontsiam-panjakay.
if I have found favor in the eyes of the king and if it pleases the king to grant my petition and to honor my request, let the king and Haman come to the feast that I will prepare for you tomorrow and I will answer the king's question.”
9 Niavotse an-kafaleañe naho finembanembañan-troke t’i Hamane amy àndro zay, fa ie niisa’e t’i Mordekay an-dalambei’ i mpanjakay, ie tsy niongake, tsy nititititike, le nilifo-piforoforoañe amy Mordekay.
Haman went out that day joyful and glad at heart. But when Haman saw Mordecai at the king's gate, that Mordecai neither rose up nor trembled before him with any fear, he was filled with rage against Mordecai.
10 Fe nilie-batañe t’i Hamane, nimpoly mb’añanjomba’e añe vaho nampañitrife’e o rañe’eo naho i Zerese vali’e;
Nevertheless, Haman restrained himself and went to his own house. He sent for his friends and gathered them together, with Zeresh his wife.
11 naho nisengea’ i Hamane ty enge’ o vara’eo, ty hatsifotofoto’ o ana’eo naho ty nampañonjone’ i mpanjakay ama’e iaby vaho ty nampiongaha’e ambone’ o roandria naho mpitoro’ i mpanjakaio.
Haman recounted to them the splendor of his riches, the number of his many sons, all the promotions by which the king honored him, and how he had advanced above all the officials and the servants of the king.
12 Le natovo’ i Hamane ty hoe: Eka, tsy eo ty napò’ i Estere hitrao-pimoak’ amy mpanjakay mb’ amy takataka hinalanka’ey naho tsy izaho; vaho nambarà’e ka ho ami’ty maray mindre amy mpanjakay.
Haman said, “Queen Esther invited no one else but me to come with the king to the feast she prepared. Even tomorrow I am again invited by her along with the king.
13 Fe tsy mahaeneñe ahy i hoe zay iabiy naho mbe treako mitozòke an-dalambeim-panjaka eo t’i Mordekay nte-Iehoda.
But all this is worth nothing to me as long as I see Mordecai the Jew sitting at the king's gate.”
14 Aa le hoe t’i Zerese tañanjomba’e naho o rañe’e iabio ama’e: Ampitroareñe rafi-piradoradoañe, limampolo kiho ty haabo’e; aa ie maraindray, misaontsia amy mpanjakay te haradorado ama’e t’i Mordekay; vaho mihovà an-kazavan’ arofo mindre amy mpanjakay mb’an-takataka mb’eo. Ninò’ i Hamane i hoe zay, le nampandrafete’e i fampiradoradoañey.
Then Zeresh his wife said to Haman and all his friends, “Let them make a gallows fifty cubits high. In the morning speak to the king for them to hang Mordecai on it. Then go joyfully with the king to the feast.” This pleased Haman and he had the gallows constructed.
