Estera 7
1 Aa le nimb’ amy sabadidakey mb’eo i mpanjakay naho i Hamane mitraok’ amy Estere mpanjaka-ampela.
The king and Haman went to Queen Esther's dinner.
2 Le nanao ty hoe amy Estere indraike i mpanjakay amy andro faharoey amy fanjotsoañe divaiy: Ndra inoñe ty halali’o, Estere mpanjaka-ampela, le hatolotse azo; vaho ndra inoñ’inoñ’ o salalae’oo, le hanoeñe ampara’ ty vakim-pifeheañe.
At this second dinner, as they were drinking wine, the king asked Esther again, “What are you really asking for, Queen Esther? It will be given to you. What do you want? You shall have it, as much as half my empire!”
3 Nanoiñe amy zao t’i Estere mpanjaka-ampela: Aa naho nanjo fañisohañe am-pahaoniña’o iraho ry mpanjaka, lehe mahafale i mpanjakay, le inao ty halaliko te hatolotse ahy ty fiaiko; toe ty fiai’ ondatikoo ro hàtako;
Queen Esther answered, “If the king looks on me favorably, and if it please Your Majesty to grant me my life, that is my request; and the lives of my people, that is what I ask.
4 amy t’ie naletake, izaho naho ondatikoo, ho mongoreñe, ho zamaneñe vaho hampikoromaheñe; fa naho naletake ho ondevo-lahy naho ondevo-ampela le ho nitsiñe iraho ndra te tsy ho nilefe’ i rafelahiy havahañe ty ho nimotso amy mpanjakay.
For my people and I have been sold to be destroyed, killed, and annihilated. If we had only been sold as slaves, I would have kept quiet, because our suffering would not have justified disturbing the king.”
5 Nisaontsy amy zao t’i Akasverose mpanjaka, nanao ty hoe amy Estere mpanjaka-ampela: Ia v’izao, aia re, te mahavany izay an-tro’e ao?
The king asked Queen Esther, demanding to know, “Who is this? Where is the man who has dared to do this?”
6 Le hoe t’i Estere: O rafelahy naho sadiavaheo, ty lo-tsereke Hamane tia. Nianifañe aolo’ i mpanjakay naho i mpanjaka-ampelay amy zao t’i Hamane.
“The man, the opponent, the enemy, is this evil Haman!” Esther replied. Haman shook with terror in front of the king and the queen.
7 Niongak’ amy fanjotsoañe divaiy am-piforoforoa’e amy zao i mpanjakay, niakatse mb’an-kiririsa’ i anjombay; fe tambatse eo t’i Hamane nihalaly ty fiai’e amy Estere mpanjaka-ampela; fa napota’e te hankàñe ty fisafiria’ i mpanjakay.
The king was furious. He got up, leaving his wine, and went out into the palace garden. Haman stayed behind to beg for his life from Queen Esther, for he realized the king planned an evil end for him.
8 Nibalik’ amy zao boak’ an-kiririsan’ anjomba ao mb’amy fanjotsoañe divaiy mb’eo i mpanjakay, ie nibabok’ an-tihi’i Estere eo t’i Hamane. Le hoe i mpanjakay: Aa ho vahora’o añ’atrefako etoa ka hao añ’ anjomba atoy o mpanjaka-ampelao? Ie nienga i falie’ey i saontsiy le sinaro’ iareo ty lahara’ i Hamane.
When the king came back in from the palace garden to the dining room, Haman had thrown himself on the couch where Queen Esther was. The king shouted out, “Is he even going to rape the queen here in the palace, right in front of me?” As soon as the king said this, the servants covered Haman's face.
9 Le hoe t’i Harbonà, raik’ amo mpiatrak’ aolo’ i mpanjakaio, Inao! mitroatse añ’ anjomba’ i Hamane ey ty fampiradoradoañe limampolo kiho mañambone, rinanji’ i Hamane ho a i Mordekay nitaron-kasoa i mpanjakaiy. Le hoe i mpanjakay, Aradoradò ama’e.
Then Harbonah, one of the eunuchs attending the king, said: “Haman set up a pole beside his house for Mordecai, the one whose report saved the king's life. The pole is fifty cubits high.” “Impale him on it!” the king ordered.
10 Aa le naradorado’ iereo amy firadoradoañe nihentseña’e ho a i Mordekaiy t’i Hamane; vaho nanintsiñe ty haviñera’ i mpanjakay.
So they impaled Haman on the pole that he had set up for Mordecai. Then the anger of the king died down.
