एस्तर 7
1 त्यसैले राजा र हामान रानी एस्तरसित भोजन गर्न गए ।
So the king and Haman came to banquet with Esther the queen.
2 यो दोस्रो दिनमा, तिनीहरूले दाखमद्य बाँड्दै गर्दा राजाले एस्तरलाई सोधे, “रानी एस्तर, तिम्री बिन्ती के हो? तिमीलाई त्यो दिइनेछ । तिम्रो अनुरोध के हो? आधा राज्यसम्म पनि तिमीलाई दिइनेछ ।”
And the king said again to Esther on the second day at the banquet of wine, What is your petition, queen Esther? and it shall be granted you: and what is your request? and it shall be performed, even to the half of the kingdom.
3 तर रानी एस्तरले जवाफ दिइन्, “हे महाराज, मैले हजुरको नजरमा निगाह पाएकी छु र हजुरलाई खुसी लाग्छ भने, मेरो जीवन मलाई नै दिइयोस् । मेरो बिन्ती यही नै हो, र मेरो जातिको लागि पनि यसै गरियोस् भनी म बिन्ती गर्छु ।
Then Esther the queen answered and said, If I have found favor in your sight, O king, and if it please the king, let my life be given me at my petition, and my people at my request:
4 किनकि म र मेरो मानिसहरू नाश पारिन, मारिन र नामेट पारिन बेचिएका छौँ । हामी दास-दासीको रूपमा मात्र दासत्वमा बेचिएका भए म चुप रहन्थेँ किनकि त्यस्तो दुःखले मात्र त महाराजालाई बाधा दिनु न्यासङ्गत हुँदैन ।”
For we are sold, I and my people, to be destroyed, to be slain, and to perish. But if we had been sold for slaves and bondwomen, I had held my tongue, although the enemy could not countervail the king’s damage.
5 तब राजा अहासूरसले रानी एस्तरलाई सोधे, “त्यो को हो? यस्तो कुरा गर्न आफ्नो हृदय भरेर बस्ने त्यो व्यक्ति कहाँ छ?
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 एस्तरले जवाई दिइन्, “त्यो विरोधी, शत्रु यही दुष्ट हामान हो ।” तब हामान राजा र रानीको सामु डरले थरथर काँपे ।
And Esther said, The adversary and enemy is this wicked Haman. Then Haman was afraid before the king and the queen.
7 राजा भोजमा दाखमद्य पिइरहेको अवस्थाबाट रिसले चुर भएर उठे, र राजमहलको बगैँचामा गए, तर हामानचाहिं रानी एस्तरबाट आफ्नो जीवनको भिग माग्न त्यहीँ बसे । राजाले तिनको विरुद्धमा विपत्ती ल्याउँदै थिए भनी तिनले देखे ।
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 तब राजमहलको बगैँचाबाट दाखमद्य बाँडिएको कोठामा राजा फर्केर आए । हामानचाहिं भर्खरै एस्तर बसिरहेको सोफाको छेउमा पसारो परेका थिए । राजाले भने, “के मेरै उपस्थिति मेरै घरमा त्यसले रानीलाई बलात्कार गर्न खोज्छ?” राजाको मुखबाट यो वाक्य बाहिर निस्कनेबित्तिकै अधिकारीहरूले हामानको अनुहार छोपे ।
Then the king returned out of the palace garden into the place of the banquet of wine; and Haman was fallen on the bed where on 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 तब राजाको सेवा गर्ने एक जना अधिकारी हर्बोनाले भने, “हामानको घरको छेउमा पच्चिस मिटर लामो एउटा फाँसीको काठ खडा छ । महाराजाको ज्यान जोगाइदन बोल्ने मोर्दकैको निम्ति त्यसले त्यो तयार पारेको हो ।” राजाले भने, “त्यसलाई त्यसैमा झुण्ड्याओ ।”
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, stands in the house of Haman. Then the king said, Hang him thereon.
10 त्यसैले तिनीहरूले हामानले मोर्दकै को निम्ति तयार पारेको फाँसीको काठमा उसैलाई झुण्ड्याए । तब राजाको रिस मर्यो ।
So they hanged Haman on the gallows that he had prepared for Mordecai. Then was the king’s wrath pacified.
