Esetera 5

1 A I ke kolu o ka la, hookomo ae la o Esetera i ka lole alii, a ku aku la ma ka pahale iloko o ka hale o ke alii, ma ke alo o ka hale o ke alii. A e noho ana no ke alii ma kona nohoalii, ma ka hale alii, ma ke alo o ka pukapa o ka hale.

Now it came to pass on the third day, that Esther put on [her] royal [apparel], and stood in the inner court of the king's house, over against the king's house: and the king sat upon his royal throne in the royal house, over against the gate of the house.

2 A ike mai la ke alii ia Esetera, i ke alii wahine, e ku ana maloko o ka pahale. loaa ia ia ke alohaia mai e ia; a o mai la ke alii i ke kookooalii gula ma kona lima ia Esetera. Hookokoke aku la o Esetera, a hoopa aku la i ka welau o ke kookooalii.

And it was so, when the king saw Esther the queen standing in the court, [that] she obtained favor in his sight: and the king held out to Esther the golden scepter that [was] in his hand. So Esther drew near, and touched the top of the scepter.

3 Alaila i mai ke alii ia ia, Heaha kau, e ke alii wahine, e Esetera, a keaha hoi kau mea e noi mai ai? E haawiia'ku no ia ia oe, ina paha o ka hapalua ia o ke aupuni.

Then said the king to her, What wilt thou, queen Esther? and what [is] thy request? it shall be even given thee to the half of the kingdom.

4 I aku la o Esetera, Ina he maikai ia i ke alii, e hele mai ke alii a me Hamana, i keia la, i ka ahainu a'u i hoomakaukau ai nona.

And Esther answered, If [it shall seem] good to the king, let the king and Haman come this day to the banquet that I have prepared for him.

5 Alaila, olelo aku ke alii, E hoolalelale ia Hamana, e hana oia i ka mea a Esetera i olelo ai. A hele mai la ke alii a me Hamana i ka ahainu a Esetera i hoomakaukau ai.

Then the king said, Cause Haman to make haste, that he may do as Esther hath said. So the king and Haman came to the banquet that Esther had prepared.

6 Olelo mai la ke alii ia Esetera, ma ka ahainu waina, Heaha kau mea e noi mai ai? E haawiia no ia ia oe. A heaha hoi kau kauoha? Ina paha o ka hapalua ia o ke aupuni e hanaia no ia.

And the king said to Esther at the banquet of wine, What [is] thy petition? and it shall be granted thee: and what [is] thy request? even to the half of the kingdom it shall be performed.

7 Alaila, olelo aku la o Esetera, i aku la, Eia kuu mea e noi aku ai, a me ka'u kauoha hoi.

Then answered Esther, and said, My petition and my request [is]:

8 Ina i loaa ia'u ke alohaia mai e ke alii, a ina i lealea ke alii i ka haawi mai i ka'u mea e noi aku ai, a e hana hoi e like me ka'u kauoha ana, e hele mai ke alii a me Hamana i ka ahainu a'u e hoomakaukau ai no laua, a apopo e hana no wau e like me ka olelo a ke alii.

If I have found favor in the sight of the king, and if it shall please the king to grant my petition, and to perform my request, let the king and Haman come to the banquet that I shall prepare for them, and I will do to-morrow as the king hath said.

9 Puka aku la o Hamana iwaho ia la, me ka olioli, a me ka naau mama. A ike ae la oia ia Moredekai ma ka pukapa o ke alii, aole i ka iluna, aole i neenee aku nona, piha loa iho la ia i ka ukiuki ia Moredekai.

Then went Haman forth that day joyful and with a glad heart: but when Haman saw Mordecai in the king's gate, that he stood not up, nor moved for him, he was full of indignation against Mordecai.

10 Uumi iho la o Hamana i kona manao; a hoi aku la oia i kona wahi, alaila kii aku la oia i kona poe makamaka, a me Zeresa kana wahine.

Nevertheless, Haman refrained himself: and when he came home, he sent and called for his friends, and Zeresh his wife.

11 A hai aku la o Hamana ia lakou i ka nani o kona waiwai, a i ka lehulehu o kana poe keiki, a i na mea a pau a ke alii i hookiekie ai ia ia, a me kona hoonoho ana ia ia maluna o na kuhina a me na kanaka o ke alii.

And Haman told them of the glory of his riches, and the multitude of his children, and all [the things] in which the king had promoted him, and how he had advanced him above the princes and servants of the king.

12 Olelo aku la no hoi o Hamana, He oiaio, aole i hookomo o Esetera ke alii wahine, i kekahi mea e ae me ke alii i ka ahainu, ana i hoomakaukau ai, ia'u wale no. A ua kiina mai hoi au e hele io na la me ke alii i ka la apopo.

Haman said moreover, Yes, Esther the queen let no man come in with the king to the banquet that she had prepared but myself; and to-morrow I am invited to her also with the king.

13 Aka, he mea ole ia'u keia mau mea a pau, ia'u e ike aka ai ia Moredekai ka Iudaio, e noho ana ma ka pukapa o ke alii.

Yet all this availeth me nothing, so long as I see Mordecai the Jew sitting at the king's gate.

14 Alaila, olelo mai la ia ia o Zeresa kana wahine, a me kona poe makamaka a pau, E hanaia he olokea, i kanalima kubita ke kiekia; a apopo, e olelo aku oe i ke alii, i liia o Moredekai maluna olaila. Alaila, e hele olioli oe i ka ahainu me ke alii. Ua maikai ia i ka manao o Hamana, a hana iho la oia i ke olokea.

Then said Zeresh his wife and all his friends to him, Let a gallows be made fifty cubits high, and to-morrow speak thou to the king that Mordecai may be hanged upon it: then go thou in merrily with the king to the banquet. And the thing pleased Haman; and he caused the gallows to be made.
