Ester 7
1 Sa gayo'y naparoon ang hari at si Aman sa pigingan na kasama ni Esther na reina.
So the king and Haman went to drink with Queen Esther.
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.
As they were drinking wine on that second day, the king again said to Esther, “Whatever your petition is, Queen Esther, it will be granted to you. Whatever you request it will be done, even if it takes half of the kingdom.”
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:
Then Queen Esther answered, “Your Majesty, if I have won your favor, and if it seems best to Your Majesty, let my life be given me as my petition, and my people as 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 I and my people have been sold to be destroyed, killed, and completely annihilated! If we had been merely sold into slavery I would not have disturbed your peace, because such a fate would not have affected the interests 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?
Then King Ahasuerus said to Queen Esther, “Who is he and where is he whose heart has impelled him to do this?”
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.
“A foe, an enemy: this wicked Haman.” Esther answered. Haman shrank in terror before the king and 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.
In his wrath the king rose from the place where he was drinking wine and went into the palace garden. Haman stayed to beg Queen Esther for his life, for he saw that the king was fully determined to bring calamity upon him.
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.
As the king returned from the palace garden to the banquet hall, Haman had flung himself on Esther’s couch. The king cried, “Is he going to rape my queen while I am present in my own house?” As the king spoke these words, the attendants covered Haman’s face
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 those who waited on the king, said, “There are the gallows, seventy-five feet high, which Hainan erected for Mordecai, who spoke a good word in behalf of the king, standing in the house of Haman!” The king said “Hang him on them.”
10 Sa gayo'y binitay nila si Aman sa bibitayan na inihanda niya ukol kay Mardocheo. Nang magkagayo'y napayapa ang kapootan ng hari.
So they hanged Haman on the gallows that he had prepared for Mordecai. Then the wrath of the king was pacified.
