Esteri 7
1 Naizvozvo mambo naHamani vakaenda kundodya navaHosi Esteri,
So the king and Haman came to take wine with Esther the queen.
2 uye pavakanga vachinwa waini pazuva rechipiri, mambo akabvunzazve akati, “VaHosi Esteri, muri kukumbireiko? Muchapiwa. Chikumbiro chenyu ndechei? Kunyange kusvika pahafu youshe, muchazviitirwa.”
And the king said to Esther again on the second day, while they were drinking, What is your prayer, Queen Esther? for it will be given to you; and what is your request? for it will be done, even to the half of my kingdom.
3 Ipapo vaHosi Esteri vakapindura vakati, “Kana ndawana nyasha kwamuri, imi Mambo, uye kana zvichifadza mambo, ndinokumbira kuti ndipiwe upenyu hwangu, ndicho chichemo changu, uye navanhu vangu, ndicho chikumbiro changu.
Then Esther the queen, answering, said, If I have your approval, O king, and if it is the king's pleasure, let my life be given to me in answer to my prayer, and my people at my request:
4 Nokuti ini navanhu vangu takatengeswa kuti tiurayiwe tiparadzwe zvachose. Kana dai takanga tangotengeswa senhapwa dzavarume navakadzi, ndingadai ndaingonyarara, nokuti kutambudzika kwakadai hakukodzere kuti mambo akanganiswe zvaari kuita.”
For we are given up, I and my people, to destruction and death and to be cut off. If we had been taken as men-servants and women-servants for a price, I would have said nothing, for our trouble is little in comparison with the king's loss.
5 Mambo Zekisesi akabvunza vaHosi Esteri akati, “Ndiani iyeye? Aripi munhu iyeye afunga kuita chinhu chakadai?”
Then King Ahasuerus said to Esther the queen, Who is he and where is he who has had this evil thought in his heart?
6 Esteri akati, “Mudzivisi nomuvengi ndiyeyu Hamani ane utsinye.” Ipapo Hamani akatya pamberi pamambo navahosi.
And Esther said, Our hater and attacker is this evil Haman. Then Haman was full of fear before the king and the queen.
7 Mambo akaviruka nehasha, akasiya waini yake ndokuenda kubindu romuzinda. Asi Hamani, achiona kuti mambo akanga atoronga magumo ake, akasara achiti akumbire upenyu hwake kuna vaHosi Esteri.
And the king in his wrath got up from the feast and went into the garden: and Haman got to his feet to make a prayer for his life to Esther the queen: for he saw that the king's purpose was evil against him.
8 Mambo paakadzoka kubva kubindu romuzinda achidzokera kuimba yamabiko, Hamani akanga azviwisira pachigaro chakanga chigere Esteri. Mambo akati, “Asi otoda kuchinyira mambokadzi muno mumba ndinaye here?” Pakarepo shoko parakangobuda mumuromo wamambo, vakafukidza uso hwaHamani.
Then the king came back from the garden into the room where they had been drinking; and Haman was stretched out on the seat where Esther was. Then the king said, Is he taking the queen by force before my eyes in my house? And while the words were on the king's lips, they put a cloth over Haman's face.
9 Ipapo Habhona, mumwe wavaranda vaishandira mambo akati, “Pane danda rakareba makubhiti makumi mashanu rakamiswa paimba yaHamani. Akanga akarigadzirira Modhekai, uyo akataura zvakanaka kuti mambo abatsirwe.” Mambo akati, “Musungirirei iye ipapo!”
Then Harbonah, one of the unsexed servants waiting before the king, said, See, the pillar fifty cubits high, which Haman made for Mordecai, who said a good word for the king, is still in its place in Haman's house. Then the king said, Put him to death by hanging him on it.
10 Naizvozvo vakasungirira Hamani pamatanda aakanga agadzirira Modhekai. Ipapo kutsamwa kwamambo kwakadzikira.
So Haman was put to death by hanging him on the pillar he had made for Mordecai. Then the king's wrath became less.
