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 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.
And the king said again to Esther on the second day at the banquet of wine, What is thy petition, queen Esther? and it shall be granted thee: and what is thy request? and it shall be performed, even to the half of the kingdom.
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 Esther the queen answered and said, If I have found favour in thy sight, O king, and if it shall please the king, let my life be given me at my petition, and my people at 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 perish. But if we had been sold for male and female slaves, I had held my tongue, although the enemy could not compensate for the king’s loss.
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 the king Ahasuerus answered and said to Esther the queen, Who is he, and where is he, that dared presume in his heart to do so?
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, The adversary and enemy is this wicked Haman. Then Haman was afraid 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.
And the king arising from the banquet of wine in his wrath went into the palace garden: and 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 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.
Then the king returned out of the palace garden into the place of the banquet of wine; and Haman had fallen upon the couch on which Esther was. Then said the king, Will he force the queen also before me in the house? As the word went out of the king’s mouth, they 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.
And Harbonah, one of the chamberlains, said before the king, Behold also, the gallows fifty cubits high, which Haman had made for Mordecai, who had spoken good for the king, standeth in the house of Haman. Then the king said, Hang him on it.
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 that he had prepared for Mordecai. Then was the king’s wrath pacified.
