Ester 7
1 Kaya pumunta ang hari at si Haman sa pista kasama ni Reyna Esther.
So the king and Haman came to take wine with Esther the queen.
2 Sa ikalawang araw na ito, habang nagsisilbi sila ng alak, sinabi ng hari kay Esther, “Ano ang iyong kahilingan, Reyna Esther? Ipagkakaloob ito sa iyo. Ano ang iyong pakiusap? Hanggang sa kalahati ng kaharian, ipagkakaloob ito.”
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 Pagkatapos ay sumagot si Reyna Esther, “Kung nakasumpong ako ng kagandahang loob sa iyong mga mata, hari, at kung ito ay mamarapatin mo, hayaang ibigay sa akin ang aking buhay—ito ang aking kahilingan, at pakiusap ko rin ito para sa aking lahi.
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 Dahil kami ay ipinagbili, ako at ang aking lahi, upang wasakin, patayin, at lipulin. Kung kami ay ipinagbili lamang sa pagkaalipin, bilang lalaki at babaing alipin, tatahimik na lang sana ako, sapagkat walang kapighatiang tulad nito na magbigay-katarungan para gagambalain ang hari.”
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 Pagkatapos sinabi ni Haring Assuero kay Esther na reyna, “Sino siya? Nasaan ang taong pumuno sa kanyang puso na gumawa ng ganyang bagay?”
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 Sinabi ni Esther, “Ang taong napopoot, ang kaaway na iyon, ay itong masamang si Haman!” Pagkatapos lubhang nasindak si Haman sa harap ng Hari at ng reyna.
And Esther said, Our hater and attacker is this evil Haman. Then Haman was full of fear before the king and the queen.
7 Tumayo ang hari sa matinding galit mula sa pag-inom ng alak sa kapistahan at pumunta sa hardin ng palasyo, ngunit naiwan si Haman upang magmakaawa para sa kanyang buhay mula kay Reyna Esther. Nakita niya na ang kapahamakan ay pinagpapasyahan na ng hari laban sa kanya.
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 Pagkatapos bumalik ang hari mula sa hardin ng palasyo patungo sa silid kung saan isinilbi ang alak. Kababagsak lamang ni Haman sa upuang kinaroroonan ni Esther. Sinabi ng hari, “Pagsasamantalahan ba niya ang reyna sa aking harapan sa sarili ko pang pamamahay?” Pagkalabas mismo ng mga salitang ito mula sa bibig ng hari, tinakpan ng mga lingkod ang mukha ni Haman.
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 Pagkatapos si Harbona, isa sa mga opisyal na naglilingkod sa hari, ay nagsabing, “Isang bitayang limampung kubit ang taas ang nakatayo sa tabi ng bahay ni Haman. Itinayo niya ito para kay Mordecai, ang nagsalita upang mapangalagaan ang hari.” Sinabi ng hari, “Bitayin siya roon.”
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 Kaya binitay nila si Haman sa bitayang kanyang inihanda para kay Mordecai. Pagkatapos humupa ang matinding galit ng hari.
So Haman was put to death by hanging him on the pillar he had made for Mordecai. Then the king's wrath became less.
