Ɛster 7
1 Enti, ɔhene no ne Haman kɔɔ Ɔhemmaa Ɛster apontoɔ no.
Therfor the kyng and Aaman entriden to the feeste, to drynke with the queen.
2 Na ɛberɛ a wɔrenonom nsã saa da no, bio, ɔhene no ka kyerɛɛ no sɛ, “Ɔhemmaa Ɛster, kyerɛ me deɛ wopɛ. Wʼabisadeɛ ne sɛn? Sɛ ɛyɛ ahemman yi mu fa koraa a, mede bɛma wo!”
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 Ɔhemmaa Ɛster buaa sɛ, “Sɛ Ɔhene kɛseɛ ani gye me ho, na ɔpɛ sɛ ɔyɛ mʼabisadeɛ ma me a, mʼadesrɛ ara ne sɛ, ɔbɛgyaa me nkwa ne me manfoɔ nkwa mu ama yɛn.
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 Ɛfiri sɛ, wɔatɔn me ne me manfoɔ ama nnipa a wɔbɛkunkum yɛn, atɔre yɛn ase. Sɛ wɔtɔn yɛn sɛ nkoa kɛkɛ mpo a, anka mɛtena dinn, ɛfiri sɛ, ɛno deɛ, ɛyɛ asɛm kumaa bi a ɛho nhia sɛ wɔde kɔdan ɔhene.”
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 Ɔhene Ahasweros bisaa sɛ, “Hwan na ɔbɛyɛ saa? Na hwan na ɔbɛtumi de ne nsa aka wo?”
And kyng Assuerus answeride, and seide, Who is this, and of what power, that he be hardi to do these thingis?
6 Ɛster buaa sɛ, “Saa omumuyɛfoɔ ne ɔtamfoɔ yi ne animguaseni Haman.” Ehu maa Haman too hoa wɔ ɔhene ne ɔhemmaa no anim.
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 Ɔhene no de abufuo huri gyinaa ne nan so, na ɔkɔɔ ahemfie hɔ turo mu. Na Haman kaa hɔ, dwane toaa Ɔhemmaa Ɛster sɛ ɔnsrɛ ne nkwa mma no, ɛfiri sɛ, na ɔnim sɛ nʼawieeɛ aduru.
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 Ɔde abasamutuo bu hwee Ɔhemmaa Ɛster mpa a ɔrehome so no so. Ɛhɔ ara na ɔhene no nso firii ahemfie no turo mu hɔ baeɛ. Ɔhene no bobɔɔ mu sɛ, “Hwɛ ɔrebɛboro ɔhemmaa yi wɔ ahemfie ha, wɔ mʼani so ha nso?” Ɔhene no kasa wieeɛ ara pɛ, nʼasomfoɔ no kataa Haman anim a ɛkyerɛ sɛ, nʼawieeɛ aduru.
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 Na Harbona a ɔyɛ ɔhene no apiafoɔ no mu baako kaa sɛ, “Haman asi dua a ne ɔsorokɔ yɛ anammɔn aduɔson enum wɔ ɔno ara nʼadihɔ. Na nʼadwene ne sɛ, ɔbɛsɛn Mordekai a ɔgyee ɔhene nkwa no wɔ so.” Afei, ɔhene no kaa sɛ, “Monsɛn Haman wɔ so.”
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 Enti, wɔsɛnee Haman wɔ dua no a ɔsi maa Mordekai no so, maa ɔhene no bo dwoeɛ.
Therfor Aaman was hangid in the iebat, which he hadde maad redi to Mardochee, and the ire of the kyng restide.
