Estera 7
1 Aa le nimb’ amy sabadidakey mb’eo i mpanjakay naho i Hamane mitraok’ amy Estere mpanjaka-ampela.
So the king and Haman came in, to banquet with Esther the queen.
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.
Then said the king unto Esther, on the second day also, during the banquet of wine, What is thy petition, Queen Esther, that it may be granted thee? and what is thy request—unto the half of the kingdom—that it may be performed?
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;
Then answered Esther the queen, and said, If I have found favour in thine eyes, O king, and if, unto the king, it seem good, let my life be granted me, as my petition, and my people, as my request;
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 we are sold, I and my people, to be destroyed, to be slain and to be caused to perish. If indeed, for bondmen and for bondwomen, we had been sold, I had held my peace, although the adversary could not have made good the damage to 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?
Then spake King Ahasuerus, and said unto Esther the queen, —Who is he now, and where is he, whose heart is set to act thus?
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.
And Esther said, A man who is an adversary and enemy, this wicked Haman. And, Haman, was terrified, before 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.
Now, the king, arising in his wrath from the banquet of wine, and going into the palace garden, Haman, stood to make request for his life from Esther the queen, for he saw that ruin, was determined against him, by the king.
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, returned out of the palace garden into the place of the banquet of wine, Haman, was lying prostrate upon the couch whereon Esther was. Then said the king, Will he, even dare to force the queen, while I am in the house? No sooner had the word gone forth out of the mouth of the king, than, the face of Haman, they had covered.
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 said Harbonah—one of the eunuchs before the king—Yea lo! the gallows that Haman made ready for Mordecai, who had spoken well for the king, is standing in Haman’s house, of a height of fifty cubits. Then said the king, Hang him thereon.
10 Aa le naradorado’ iereo amy firadoradoañe nihentseña’e ho a i Mordekaiy t’i Hamane; vaho nanintsiñe ty haviñera’ i mpanjakay.
So they hanged Haman on the gallows which he had prepared for Mordecai, —and, the wrath of the king, was appeased.
