Ester 7
1 Sa gayo'y naparoon ang hari at si Aman sa pigingan na kasama ni Esther na reina.
And the king comes in, and Haman, to drink with Esther the queen,
2 At sinabi uli ng hari kay Esther nang ikalawang araw sa pigingan ng alak: Ano ang iyong hingi, reina Esther? at ibibigay sa iyo: at ano ang iyong hiling? kahit kalahati ng kaharian ay ipagkakaloob.
and the king says to Esther also on the second day, during the banquet of wine, “What [is] your petition, Esther, O queen? And it is given to you; and what [is] your request? To the half of the kingdom—and it is done.”
3 Nang magkagayo'y sumagot, at nagsabi si Esther na reina, Kung ako'y nakasumpong ng biyaya sa iyong paningin, Oh hari, at kung kalulugdan ng hari, ipagkaloob sa akin ang aking buhay sa aking hingi at ang aking bayan sa aking hiling:
And Esther the queen answers and says, “If I have found grace in your eyes, O king, and if to the king [it be] good, let my life be given to me at my petition, and my people at my request;
4 Sapagka't kami ay naipagbili, ako at ang aking bayan upang ipahamak, upang patayin, at upang lipulin. Nguni't kung kami ay naipagbili na mga pinakaaliping lalake at babae, ako'y tumahimik, bagaman hindi mababayaran ng kaaway ang bagabag sa hari.
for we have been sold, I and my people, to cut off, to slay, and to destroy; and if for menservants and for maidservants we had been sold I had kept silent—but the adversity is not equal to the loss of the king.”
5 Nang magkagayo'y nagsalita ang haring Assuero, at nagsabi kay Esther na reina: Sino siya, at saan nandoon siya, na nangangahas magbanta na gumawa ng gayon?
And King Ahasuerus says, indeed, he says to Esther the queen, “Who [is] he—this one? And where [is] this one whose heart has filled him to do so?”
6 At sinabi ni Esther, Ang isang kaaway at kaalit: itong masamang si Aman. Nang magkagayo'y natakot si Aman sa harap ng hari at ng reina.
And Esther says, “The man—adversary and enemy—[is] this wicked Haman”; and Haman has been afraid at the presence of the king and of the queen.
7 At ang hari ay tumindig sa pigingan ng alak sa kaniyang pagkapoot, at pumasok sa halamanan ng bahay-hari: at si Aman ay tumayo upang ipamanhik ang kaniyang buhay kay Esther na reina; sapagka't nakita niya na may kasamaang ipinasiya laban sa kaniya ang hari.
And the king has risen, in his fury, from the banquet of wine, to the garden of the house, and Haman has remained to seek for his life from Esther the queen, for he has seen that evil has been determined against him by the king.
8 Nang magkagayo'y bumalik ang hari na mula sa halamanan ng bahay-hari hanggang sa pigingan ng alak; at si Aman ay sumubsob sa hiligan na kinaroroonan ni Esther. Nang magkagayo'y sinabi ng hari, Kaniya bang dadahasin ang reina sa harap ko sa bahay? Pagkabigkas ng salita sa bibig ng hari ay kanilang tinakpan ang mukha ni Aman.
And the king has turned back out of the garden of the house to the house of the banquet of wine, and Haman is falling on the couch on which Esther [is], and the king says, “Also to subdue the queen with me in the house?” The word has gone out from the mouth of the king, and the face of Haman they have covered.
9 Nang magkagayo'y sinabi ni Harbona, na isa sa kamarero na nasa harap ng hari: Narito naman, ang bibitayan na may limang pung siko ang taas, na ginawa ni Aman ukol kay Mardocheo, na siyang nagsalita sa ikabubuti ng hari, ay nakatayo sa bahay ni Aman. At sinabi ng hari, Bitayin siya roon.
And Harbonah, one of the eunuchs, says before the king, “Also behold, the tree that Haman made for Mordecai, who spoke good for the king, is standing in the house of Haman, in height fifty cubits”; and the king says, “Hang him on it.”
10 Sa gayo'y binitay nila si Aman sa bibitayan na inihanda niya ukol kay Mardocheo. Nang magkagayo'y napayapa ang kapootan ng hari.
And they hang Haman on the tree that he had prepared for Mordecai, and the fury of the king has lain down.
