Esther 5
1 And so, on the third day, Esther had put on her royal apparel and was standing in the atrium of the king’s house, which was inside, opposite the king’s hall, while he was sitting on his throne in the council room of the palace, opposite the entrance of the house.
A rana ta uku, Esta ta sanya rigunanta na sarauta, ta tafi ta tsaya a harabar fada, a gaban zaure sarki. Sarki yana zaune a kan gadon sarautarsa a zauren, yana fuskantar ƙofar shiga.
2 And when he saw Esther the queen standing there, she pleased his eyes, and he extended toward her the golden scepter, which he held in his hand, and she approached and kissed the top of his scepter.
Sa’ad da ya ga Sarauniya Esta tsaye a harabar, sai ya ji daɗin ganinta, ya miƙa mata sandan sarauta na zinariya da take hannunsa. Sai Esta ta matsa kusa ta taɓa kan sandan.
3 And the king said to her, “What do you wish, queen Esther? What is your request? Even if you ask for half of the kingdom, it will be given to you.”
Sai sarki ya ce mata, “Me kike so, Sarauniya Esta? Mene ne roƙonki? Kai, ko rabin masarautata ce, za a ba ki.”
4 But she responded, “If it pleases the king, I beg you to come with me today, and Haman with you, to the feast that I have prepared.”
Esta ta ce, “In ya gamshi sarki, bari sarki, tare da Haman su zo wurin liyafar da na shirya wa sarki yau.”
5 And immediately the king said, “Call Haman quickly, so that he may obey Esther’s will. And so the king and Haman came to the feast, which the queen had prepared for them.
Sai sarki ya ce, “Maza a kawo Haman don mu yi abin da Esta ta roƙa.” Saboda haka, sarki da Haman suka tafi liyafar da Esta ta shirya.
6 And the king said to her, after he had drunk wine abundantly, “What are you asking for that should be given to you? And which things do you require? Even if you request half of my kingdom, you will obtain it.”
Yayinda suke shan ruwan inabi, sarki ya sāke ce wa Esta, “Yanzu, mece ce bukatarki? Za a biya miki shi. Kuma mene ne roƙonki? Kai, ko rabin masarautata ce, za a ba ki.”
7 Esther answered him, “My petition and prayer is this:
Esta ta amsa ta ce, “Bukatata da kuma roƙona shi ne,
8 If I have found favor in the sight of the king, and if it pleases the king to give me what I ask, and to fulfill my petition, let the king and Haman come to the feast which I have prepared for them, and tomorrow I will open my mind to the king.”
in na sami tagomashi a wurin sarki, in kuma sarki ya yarda yă biya mini bukatata, yă kuma ji roƙona, bari sarki da Haman su zo gobe wurin liyafar da zan shirya musu. Sa’an nan zan amsa tambayar sarki.”
9 And so Haman went out that day joyful and cheerful. And when he saw that Mordecai was sitting in front of the gate of the palace, and that he alone did not get up for him, but did not so much as move from the place where he sat, he was very indignant.
Haman ya fita a ranan da murna, ya kuma ji daɗi. Amma sa’ad da ya ga Mordekai a bakin ƙofar sarki, ya kuma lura cewa bai tashi, ko yă nuna bangirma a gabansa ba, sai ya cika da fushi.
10 But, concealing his anger and returning into his house, he gathered to him his friends and Zeresh, his wife.
Duk da haka, Haman ya cije, ya tafi gida. Sai ya kira abokansa da kuma matarsa, Zeresh,
11 And he explained to them the greatness of his riches, and the influence of his sons, and how, with such glory, the king had elevated him above all his rulers and servants.
ya yi ta taƙama game da ɗumbun wadatarsa, da yawan’ya’yansa maza, da dukan yadda sarki ya girmama shi, ya kuma ɗaga shi bisan sauran hakimai da shugabanni.
12 And after this, he said, “Also, queen Esther has called no one else to the feast with the king, except me. And I will be dining with the king again tomorrow.
Haman ya ƙara da cewa, “Ba duka ke nan ba, kai, ni ne kaɗai mutumin da Sarauniya Esta ta gayyata yă tafi tare da sarki zuwa liyafar da ta shirya. Ta sāke gayyace ni tare da sarki gobe.
13 And though I have all these things, I consider that I have nothing as long as I see Mordecai the Jew sitting in front of the king’s gate.”
Amma dukan wannan bai biya mini bukata ba, muddin ina ganin wannan mutumin Yahudan nan Mordekai, yana zama a bakin ƙofar sarki.”
14 And Zeresh his wife and his other friends answered him, “Order a great beam to be prepared, having a height of fifty cubits, and in the morning speak to the king, so that Mordecai may be hanged from it, and so you will go joyfully with the king to the feast.” This advice pleased him, and so he ordered a high cross to be prepared.
Matarsa Zeresh, da dukan abokansa suka ce masa, “Ka sa a gina wurin rataye mai laifi, mai tsawo, ƙafa saba’in da biyar, da safe kuwa ka ce wa sarki a rataye Mordekai a kansa. Sa’an nan ka tafi cin abincin dare tare da sarki da murna.” Wannan shawarar ta faranta wa Haman rai, ya kuma sa aka gina wurin rataye mai laifi.
