< Esta 5 >
1 Siku ya tatu, Esta alivaa mavazi yake ya kimalkia, naye akasimama katika ua wa ndani wa jumba la mfalme, mbele ya ukumbi wa mfalme. Naye mfalme alikuwa akiketi katika kiti chake cha kifalme katika ukumbi, akielekea langoni.
And it was - on the day third and she put on Esther royalty and she stood in [the] court of [the] house of the king inner before [the] house of the king and the king [was] sitting on [the] throne of royalty his in [the] house of royalty before [the] entrance of the house.
2 Alipomwona Malkia Esta amesimama uani alipendezwa naye, akamnyooshea fimbo ya utawala ya dhahabu ile iliyokuwa mkononi mwake. Kwa hiyo Esta alikaribia na kuigusa ncha ya fimbo ya mfalme.
And it was when saw the king Esther the queen standing in the court she bore favor in view his and he extended the king to Esther [the] scepter of gold which [was] in hand his and she drew near Esther and she touched [the] top of the scepter.
3 Kisha mfalme aliuliza, “Malkia Esta, ni nini? Ombi lako ni nini? Hata kama ni nusu ya ufalme, utapewa.”
And he said to her the king what? [is] to you O Esther the queen and what? [is] request your up to half of the kingdom so it may be given to you.
4 Esta akajibu, “Kama itampendeza mfalme, mfalme pamoja na Hamani waje leo katika karamu ambayo nimeiandaa kwa ajili yake.”
And she said Esther if [is] on the king good let him come the king and Haman this day to the feast which I have made for him.
5 Mfalme akasema, “Mleteni Hamani mara moja, ili tupate kufanya lile Esta analoomba.” Kwa hiyo mfalme na Hamani walihudhuria karamu aliyoiandaa Esta.
And he said the king bring quickly Haman to do [the] word of Esther and he came the king and Haman to the feast which she had made Esther.
6 Walipokuwa wakinywa mvinyo mfalme akamuuliza Esta tena, “Sasa haja yako ni nini? Utapewa. Ombi lako ni nini? Hata nusu ya ufalme, utapewa.”
And he said the king to Esther at [the] feast of wine what? [is] petition your sp it may be given to you and what? [is] request your up to half of the kingdom and it may be done.
7 Esta akajibu, “Haja yangu na ombi langu ni hili:
And she answered Esther and she said petition my and request my.
8 Kama mfalme ameona vyema, nami nimepata kibali kwake na kama ikimpendeza mfalme kunipa ombi langu na kunitimizia haja yangu, mfalme na Hamani waje kwangu kesho katika karamu nitakayowaandalia. Kisha nitajibu swali la mfalme.”
If I have found favor in [the] eyes of the king and if [is] on the king good to grant petition my and to do request my let him come the king and Haman to the feast which I will make for them and tomorrow I will do according to [the] word of the king.
9 Hamani alitoka siku hiyo kwa furaha na moyo mchangamfu. Lakini alipomwona Mordekai langoni mwa mfalme na kuona kwamba hakusimama wala hakuonyesha hofu mbele yake, alijawa na ghadhabu dhidi ya Mordekai.
And he went out Haman on the day that joyful and good of heart and just as saw Haman Mordecai at [the] gate of the king and not he stood up and not he trembled from him and he was filled Haman towards Mordecai rage.
10 Hata hivyo, Hamani alijizuia akaenda zake nyumbani. Akawaita pamoja rafiki zake na Zereshi, mkewe.
And he restrained himself Haman and he went to house his and he sent and he gathered friends his and Zeresh wife his.
11 Hamani akajisifia kwao juu ya utajiri wake mwingi, wanawe wengi na kwa njia zote ambazo mfalme amemheshimu kwazo na jinsi alivyomweka juu ya wakuu na maafisa wengine.
And he recounted to them Haman [about] [the] splendor of wealth his and [the] multitude of sons his and [about] all that he had made great him the king and this: he had exalted him above the officials and [the] servants of the king.
12 Hamani akaongeza, “Si hayo tu. Mimi ndiye mtu pekee ambaye Malkia Esta amemwalika kumsindikiza mfalme kwenye karamu aliyomwandalia. Naye amenialika pamoja na mfalme kesho.
And he said Haman also not she let come [anyone] Esther the queen with the king to the feast which she had prepared that except me and also for tomorrow I [am] invited by her with the king.
13 Lakini haya yote hayanipi kuridhika iwapo ninaendelea kumwona yule Myahudi Mordekai akiketi kwenye lango la mfalme.”
And all this not it [is] adequate for me at any time when I [am] seeing Mordecai the Jew sitting at [the] gate of the king.
14 Zereshi mkewe na rafiki zake wote wakamwambia, “Tengeneza mahali pa kuangika watu kimo chake dhiraa hamsini, kisha kesho asubuhi mwombe mfalme Mordekai aangikwe juu yake. Ndipo uende na mfalme kwenye karamu kwa furaha.” Shauri hili lilimpendeza Hamani, naye akajenga mahali pa kuangika watu.
And she said to him Zeresh wife his and all friends his let people make a gallows high fifty cubit[s] and in the morning - speak to the king so people may hang Mordecai on it and go with the king to the feast joyful and it was good the word before Haman and he made the gallows.
