Esta 7
1 Kwa hiyo mfalme na Hamani wakaenda kausherekea na malkia Esta.
So the King and Haman came to banket with the Queene Ester.
2 Katika siku ya pili, baada ya kuletwa mvinyo, mfalme akamwambia Esta, “Ni nini haja ya moyo wako? Na nini ombi lako? Hata nusu ya ufalme wangu utapewa.”
And the King said againe vnto Ester on the second day at the banket of wine, What is thy petition, Queene Ester, that it may be giue thee? and what is thy request? It shalbe euen perfourmed vnto the halfe of the kingdome.
3 Kisha Malkia amwambia mfalme, kama nimepata kibali machoni pako, na kama ikikupendeza, nipewe maisha yangu, na hili ndio haja ya moyo wangu, na hili pia ni ombi kwa watu wangu pia.
And Ester the Queene answered, and said, If I haue found fauour in thy sight, O King, and if it please the King, let my life be giuen me at my petition, and my people at my request.
4 Kwa kuwa mimi na watu wangu tumeuzwa, ili tuharibiwe, tuuwawe, na tungamizwe. Kama tungeuzwa utumwani, kama wanaume na wanawake, ningenyamaza kimya, na nisingeweza kumsumbua mfame.”
For we are solde, I, and my people, to be destroyed, to be slayne and to perish: but if we were solde for seruants, and for handmaides, I woulde haue helde my tongue: although the aduersarie could not recompense the Kings losse.
5 Kisha Mfalme Ahusiero akamwambia malkia Esta, “Ni nani huyo? Ni nani aliyekusudia moyoni mwake kutenda jambo hili?
Then King Ahashuerosh answered, and said vnto the Queene Ester, Who is he? and where is he that presumeth to doe thus?
6 Esta akasema, “Ni huyu mwovu Hamani, adui!” Hamani akashikwa na Hofu mbele za mfalme na malkia.
And Ester said, The aduersarie and enemie is this wicked Haman. Then Haman was afrayde before the King and the Queene.
7 Na kwa ghadhabu mfalme akatoka karamuni katika sehemu ya mvinyo na akaenda katika bustani ya ikulu, Lakini Hamani alibaki akimsihi Malkia Esta ili aokoe maisha yake. Kwa sababu aliona mfalme amemkusudia ubaya.
And the King arose from ye banket of wine in his wrath, and went into the palace garden: but Haman stood vp, to make request for his life to the Queene Ester: for he sawe that there was a mischiefe prepared for him of the King.
8 Mfalme akarudi kutoka katika bustani ya ikulu, na kuingia katika chumba ambamo kulikuwamo mvinyo. Hamani alikuwa ameanguka chini ya kochi alilokuwa ameketi Esta. Mfalme akakasirika na kusema, “atamdharirisha malkia mbele zangu katika nyumba yangu?” Mara tu maneno haya yalipotoka kinywani mwa mfalme, watumizhi wakafunika uso wa Hamani.
And when the King came againe out of the palace garden, into the house where they dranke wine, Haman was fallen vpon the bed whereon Ester sate! therefore the King sayd, Will he force the Queene also before me in the house? As the worde went out of the Kings mouth, they couered Hamans face.
9 Kisha Habona, mmoja wa watumishi aliye mtumikia mfalme akamwambia mfalme, “Mti wenye urefu wa futi hamsini uko nyumbani kwa Hamani. Ulikuwa umeandaliwa kwa ajili ya Modekai, aliye toa taarifa kuhusu mpango wa kuangamizwa kwako.” Mfalme akesema,”Mtundikeni Hamani juu yake.”
And Harbonah one of the eunuches, sayde in the presence of the King, Beholde, there standeth yet the tree in Hamans house fiftie cubites hie, which Haman had prepared for Mordecai, that spake good for the King. Then the King sayd, Hang him thereon.
10 Kwa hiyo wakamtundika Hamani kwenye mti aliuandaa kwa ajili ya Modekai. Na hasira ya mfalme ikatulia.
So they hanged Haman on the tree, that he had prepared for Mordecai: then was the Kings wrath pacified.
