Eseta 7
1 Ko ia naʻe haʻu ai ʻae tuʻi mo Hamani ki he kātoanga mo Eseta ko e tuʻi fefine.
Therfor the kyng and Aaman entriden to the feeste, to drynke with the queen.
2 Pea naʻe toe lea ʻae tuʻi kia Eseta ʻi hono ua ʻoe ʻaho ʻi he kātoanga inu uaine, “Ko e hā hoʻo kole ʻe tuʻi fefine ko Eseta? Pea ʻe tuku ia kiate koe: pea ko e hā ia ʻa hoʻo kole? Pea ʻe fai ia ʻo aʻu ki hono vahe ua ʻoe puleʻanga.”
And the kyng seide to hir, yhe, in the secounde dai, aftir that he was hoot of the wiyn, Hester, what is thin axyng, that it be youun to thee, and what wolt thou be doon? Yhe, thouy thou axist the half part of my rewme, thou schalt gete.
3 Pea lea ai ʻa Eseta ko e tuʻi fefine, ʻo ne pehē, “Kapau kuo u maʻu ʻae ʻofa ʻi ho ʻao, ʻE tuʻi, pea kapau ʻoku lelei ki he tuʻi, ke foaki ʻeku moʻui kiate au ʻi heʻeku kole, mo hoku kakai ʻi heʻeku tala:
To whom sche answeride, A! king, if Y haue founde grace in thin iyen, and if it plesith thee, yyue thou my lijf to me, for which Y preie, and my puple, for which Y biseche.
4 He kuo fakatau ʻakimautolu, Ko au mo hoku kakai, ke maumauʻi, mo tāmateʻi, pea ke fakaʻauha. Pea ka ne fakatau ʻakimautolu ke hoko ko e kau tangata pōpula, mo e kau fefine pōpula, pehē, te u longo pe au, ka ko e moʻoni ʻe ʻikai mafai ʻe he fili ke totongi hono kovi ki he tuʻi.”
For Y and my puple ben youun, that we be defoulid, and stranglid, and that we perische; `and Y wolde, that we weren seeld in to seruauntis and seruauntessis, `and the yuel `were suffrable, and Y `were stille weilynge; but now oure enemy is, whos cruelte turneth `in to the kyng.
5 Pea naʻe lea ai ʻae tuʻi ko ʻAhasivelo kia Eseta ko e tuʻi fefine ʻo pehē, “Ko hai ia, pea kofaʻā ia, ʻaia naʻe fielahi ʻi hono loto ke fai pehē?”
And kyng Assuerus answeride, and seide, Who is this, and of what power, that he be hardi to do these thingis?
6 Pea naʻe pehē ʻe Eseta, “Ko e tangata angatuʻu mo e fili, ko Hamani angakovi ni.” Pea naʻe toki manavahē ʻa Hamani ʻi he ʻao ʻoe tuʻi mo e tuʻi fefine.
And Hester seide, Oure worste aduersarie and enemy is this Aaman. Which thing he herde, and was astonyde anoon, and `suffride not to bere the semelaunt of the kyng and of the queen.
7 Pea naʻe tuʻu hake ʻae tuʻi ʻi heʻene tuputāmaki lahi mei he kātoanga uaine, pea ʻalu kituʻa ia ki he ngoue ʻoe fale; pea naʻe tuʻu hake ʻa Hamani ke fai ʻae kole koeʻuhi ko ʻene moʻui kia Eseta ko e tuʻi fefine; he naʻe mamata ia kuo tuʻutuʻuni ʻae kovi ke hoko kiate ia mei he tuʻi.
Forsothe the kyng roos wrooth, and fro the place of the feeste he entride in to a gardyn biset with trees. And Aaman roos for to preie Hester, the queen, for his lijf; for he vndurstood yuel maad redi of the kyng to hym.
8 Pea naʻe liu mai ʻae tuʻi mei he ngoue ʻoe fale, ki he potu ʻoe kātoanga uaine: pea kuo tō ʻa Hamani ki he tokotoʻanga ʻaia naʻe ʻi ai ʻa Eseta. Pea pehē ʻe he tuʻi, “Pea ʻe tohotoho ʻe ia ʻae tuʻi fefine foki ʻi he fale ʻi hoku ʻao?” Pea ʻi he ʻalu ʻae lea mei he fofonga ʻoe tuʻi, naʻa nau ʻufiʻufi ʻae mata ʻo Hamani.
And whanne the kyng turnede ayen fro the gardyn `biset with wode, and hadde entrid in to the place of feeste he foond that Aaman felde doun on the bed, wherynne Hester lai. And the king seide, `Also he wole oppresse the queen, while Y am present, in myn hows. The word was not yit goon out of the kyngis mouth, and anoon thei hiliden his face.
9 Pea pehē ʻe Hapona ko e tauhi fale ʻe tokotaha ʻi he ʻao ʻoe tuʻi, “Vakai foki, ko e tautauʻanga, ko e hanga ʻe teau hono māʻolunga, ʻaia naʻe ngaohi ʻe Hamani moʻo Motekiai, ʻaia naʻe lea lelei maʻae tuʻi, ʻoku tuʻu ʻi he fale ʻo Hamani.” Pea pehē ai ʻe he tuʻi, “Tautau ia ki ai.”
And Arbona seide, oon of the onest seruauntis and chast, that stoden in the seruyce of the kyng, Lo! the tre hauynge fifti cubitis of heiythe stondith in the hows of Aaman, which tre he hadde maad redi to Mardochee, that spak for the kyng. To whom the kyng seide, Hange ye Aaman in that tre.
10 Ko ia naʻa nau tautau ʻa Hamani ʻi he tautauʻanga naʻa ne teuteu moʻo Motekiai. Pea naʻe toki lolou ʻae houhau ʻita ʻae tuʻi.
Therfor Aaman was hangid in the iebat, which he hadde maad redi to Mardochee, and the ire of the kyng restide.
