Esther 5
1 And on the third day Esther put on her royal apparel, and stood in the inner court of the king’s house, over against the king’s hall: now he sat upon his throne in the hall of the palace, over against the door of the house.
Kalpasan iti tallo nga aldaw, inkawes ni Ester ti pagan-anayna kas reyna ken napan nagtakder iti akin uneg a paraangan ti palasio ti ari, iti sangoanan iti balay ti ari. Nakatugaw ti ari iti tronona iti balayna, a nakasango iti pagserkan iti balay.
2 And when he saw Esther the queen standing, she pleased his eyes, and he held out toward her the golden sceptre, which he held in his hand: and she drew near, and kissed the top of his sceptre.
Idi nakita ti ari a nakatakder ni reyna Ester iti paraangan, naay-ayo ti ari kenkuana. Impaturongna kenni Ester ti balitok a setro nga adda iti imana. Immasideg ngarud ni Ester ket sinagidna ti murdong ti setro.
3 And the king said to her: What wilt then, queen Esther? what is thy request? if thou shouldst even ask one half of the kingdom, it shall be given to thee.
Ket kinuna ti ari kenkuana, “Ania iti kayatmo, Reyna Ester? Ania iti kiddawem? Agingga iti kagudua ti pagariak, ket maipaayto kenka.”
4 But she answered: If it please the king. I beseech thee to come to me this day, and Aman with thee to the banquet which I have prepared.
Kinuna ni Ester, “No makaay-ayo daytoy iti ari, umay koma ita nga aldaw ti ari ken ni Haman iti padaya nga insaganak para iti ari.”
5 And the king said forthwith: Call ye Aman quickly, that he may obey Esther’s will. So the king and Aman came to the banquet which the queen had prepared for them.
Ket kinuna ti ari, “Iyegyo a dagus ni Haman, tapno maaramid ti imbaga ni Ester.” Napan ngarud ti ari ken ni Haman iti padaya nga insagana ni Ester.
6 And the king said to her, after he had drunk wine plentifully: What dost thou desire should be given thee? and for what thing askest thou? although thou shouldst ask the half of my kingdom, thou shalt have it.
Idi naidasaren ti arak iti padaya, kinuna ti ari kenni Ester, “Ania ti dawatem? Maipaay daytoy kenka. Ania iti kiddawem? Agingga iti kaguddua ti pagarian, maipaayto kenka.”
7 And Esther answered: My petition and request is this:
Simmungbat ni Ester, “Ti dawat ken kiddawko ket daytoy,
8 If I have found favour in the king’s sight, and if it please the king to give me what I ask, and to fulfill my petition: let the king and Aman come to the banquet which I have prepared them, and tomorrow I will open my mind to the king.
no makasarakak iti pabor iti imatang ti ari, ken no maay-ayo ti ari a mangipaay iti dawatek ken padayawanna ti kiddawek. Umay koma ti ari ken ni Haman iti padaya nga isaganakto para kadakayo inton bigat, ket sungbatakto ti saludsod ti ari.”
9 So Aman went out that day joyful and merry. And when he saw Mardochai sitting before the gate of the palace, and that he not only did not rise up to honour him, but did not so much as move from the place where he sat, he was exceedingly angry:
Rimmuar ni Haman iti dayta nga aldaw a naragsak ken agragrag-o iti pusona. Ngem idi nakita ni Haman ni Mardokeo iti ruangan ti palasio ti ari a saan man laeng a timmakder wenno nagkentayeg iti sangoananna nga addaan iti panagbuteng, napnoan isuna iti gura a maibusor kenni Mardokeo.
10 But dissembling his anger, and returning into his house, he called together to him his friends, and Zares his wife:
Nupay kasta, nagteppel ni Haman ket nagawid iti balayna. Inayabanna dagiti gagayyemna ket naguummongda, a kaduada ni Zeres nga asawana.
11 And he declared to them the greatness of his riches, and the multitude of his children, and with how great glory the king had advanced him above all his princes and servants.
Imbinsa-binsa ni Haman kadakuada ti kinadayag dagiti kinabaknangna ken ti bilang dagiti adu a putotna a lallaki, no kasano a nangat-ngato isuna kadagiti amin nga opisial ken kadagiti adipen ti ari.
12 And after this he said: Queen Esther also hath invited no other to the banquet with the king, but me: and with her I am also to dine tomorrow with the king:
Kinuna ni Haman, “Uray ni Reyna Ester ket awan ti sabali nga inawisna no di laeng siak a kadua ti ari a napan timmabuno iti padaya nga insaganana. Ken uray inton bigat inawisnak manen a kadua ti ari.
13 And whereas I have all these things, I think I have nothing, so long as I see Mardochai the Jew sitting before the king’s gate.
Ngem amin dagitoy a mapadpadasak ket awan serserbina kaniak, agingga a makitkitak ti Judio a ni Mardokeo a nakatugaw iti ruangan ti palasio ti ari.”
14 Then Zares his wife, and the rest of his friends answered him: Order a great beam to be prepared, fifty cubits high, and in the morning speak to the king, that Mardochai may be hanged upon it, and so thou shalt go full of joy with the king to the banquet. The counsel pleased him, and he commanded a high gibbet to be prepared.
Ket kinuna ni Zeres nga asawana kenni Haman ken kadagiti amin a gagayyemna, “Mangpaaramidkayo kadakuada iti pagbitayan a limapulo a kubit ti kangatona. Inton bigat katungtongenyo ti ari a bitayenda ni Mardokeo iti daytoy. Ket mapanka a siraragsak a kadua ti ari iti padaya.” Naay-ayo ni Haman iti daytoy, ket impaaramidna ngarud ti pagbitayan.
