Esther 7
1 Ọba àti Hamani sì lọ sí àpèjẹ pẹ̀lú Esteri ayaba,
And the king comes in, and Haman, to drink with Esther the queen,
2 bí wọ́n sì ṣe ń mu wáìnì ní ọjọ́ kejì yìí, ọba sì tún béèrè pé, “Esteri ayaba, kí ni ẹ̀bẹ̀ rẹ? A ó sì fi fún ọ. Kí ni ìbéèrè rẹ? Bí ó tilẹ̀ jẹ́ ìdajì ìjọba à mi, n ó fi fún ọ.”
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 Nígbà náà ni ayaba Esteri dáhùn, “Bí èmi bá rí ojúrere rẹ, ìwọ ọba, bí ó bá sì tẹ́ ọláńlá à rẹ lọ́rùn, fún mi ní ẹ̀mí mi, èyí ni ẹ̀bẹ̀ mi. Kí o sì pa àwọn ènìyàn mi mọ́—èyí ni ìbéèrè mi.
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 Nítorí a ti ta èmi àti àwọn ènìyàn mi fún àwọn tí yóò pa wá run, à ti ṣe ìdájọ́ wa fún pípa àti píparẹ́. Bí a bá tilẹ̀ tà wá bí ẹrúkùnrin àti ẹrúbìnrin, ǹ bá dákẹ́, nítorí irú ìpọ́njú bẹ́ẹ̀ kò tó èyí tí à ń yọ ọba lẹ́nu sí.”
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 Ọba Ahaswerusi bi Esteri ayaba léèrè pé, “Ta a ni ẹni náà? Níbo ni ẹni náà wà tí kò bẹ̀rù láti ṣe irú nǹkan bẹ́ẹ̀?”
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 Esteri sọ wí pé, “Alátakò àti ọ̀tá náà ni Hamani aláìníláárí yìí.” Nígbà náà ni Hamani wárìrì níwájú ọba àti ayaba.
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 Ọba sì dìde pẹ̀lú ìbínú, ó fi wáìnì sílẹ̀ ó sì jáde lọ sí àgbàlá ààfin. Ṣùgbọ́n nígbà tí Hamani, ti rí i dájú pé ọba ti pinnu láti pa òun, ó dúró lẹ́yìn láti bẹ Esteri ayaba nítorí ẹ̀mí rẹ̀.
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 Bí ọba ṣe padà dé láti àgbàlá ààfin wá sí gbọ̀ngàn àsè náà, Hamani ṣubú sórí àga tí Esteri ayaba fẹ̀yìn tì. Ọba sì pariwo pé, “Yóò ha tún tẹ́ ayaba níbí yìí, nínú ilé, ní ojú mi bí?” Ní kété tí ọba sọ ọ̀rọ̀ yìí jáde, wọ́n da aṣọ bo Hamani lójú.
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 Nígbà náà Harbona ọ̀kan nínú àwọn ìwẹ̀fà tó ń dúró níwájú ọba, sọ wí pé, “Igi tí ó ga tó ìwọ̀n ẹsẹ̀ bàtà marunlélaadọrin ni Hamani ti rì sí ẹ̀gbẹ́ ilé e rẹ̀. Ó ṣe é fún Mordekai, ẹni tí ó sọ̀rọ̀ jáde láti ṣe ìrànlọ́wọ́ fún ọba.” Ọba wí pé, ẹ so ó rọ̀ sórí i rẹ́!
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 Wọ́n sì so Hamani sórí igi tí ó ti pèsè sílẹ̀ fún Mordekai, ìbínú ọba sì rọ̀.
And they hang Haman on the tree that he had prepared for Mordecai, and the fury of the king has lain down.
