Esther 7
1 So the king and Haman came to banquet with Esther the queen.
Ọba àti Hamani sì lọ sí àpèjẹ pẹ̀lú Esteri ayaba,
2 And the king said again unto Esther on the second day at the banquet of wine, What is thy petition, queen Esther? and it shall he granted thee: and what is thy request? even to the half of the kingdom it shall be performed.
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.”
3 Then Esther the queen answered and said, If I have found favour in thy sight, O king, and if it please the king, let my life be given me at my petition, and my people at my request:
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.
4 for we are sold, I and my people, to be destroyed, to be slain, and to perish. But if we had been sold for bondmen and bondwomen, I had held my peace, although the adversary could not have compensated for the king’s damage.
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.”
5 Then spake the king Ahasuerus and said unto Esther the queen, Who is he, and where is he, that durst presume in his heart to do so?
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?”
6 And Esther said, An adversary and an enemy, even this wicked Haman. Then Haman was afraid before the king and the queen.
Esteri sọ wí pé, “Alátakò àti ọ̀tá náà ni Hamani aláìníláárí yìí.” Nígbà náà ni Hamani wárìrì níwájú ọba àti ayaba.
7 And the king arose in his wrath from the banquet of wine [and went] into the palace garden: and Haman stood up to make request for his life to Esther the queen; for he saw that there was evil determined against him by the king.
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.
8 Then the king returned out of the palace garden into the place of the banquet of wine; and Haman was fallen upon the couch whereon Esther was. Then said the king, Will he even force the queen before me in the house? As the word went out of the king’s mouth, they covered Haman’s face.
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.
9 Then said Harbonah, one of the chamberlains that were before the king, Behold also, the gallows fifty cubits high, which Haman hath made for Mordecai, who spake good for the king, standeth in the house of Haman. And the king said, Hang him thereon.
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!
10 So they hanged Haman on the gallows that he had prepared for Mordecai. Then was the king’s wrath pacified.
Wọ́n sì so Hamani sórí igi tí ó ti pèsè sílẹ̀ fún Mordekai, ìbínú ọba sì rọ̀.
