Esetera 7
Baibala Hemolele (Hawaiian Bible, 1868 revision)
Berean Standard Bible
1HELE mai la no hoi ke alii a me Hamana e ahainu me Esetera.
1So the king and Haman went to dine with Esther the queen,
2Ninau hou mai la ke alii ia Esetera, i ka lua o ka la ma ka ahainuwaina, Heaha kau mea e nonoi mai ai, e ke alii wahine, e Esetera? E haawiia no ia ia oe. A heaha hoi kau kauoha? E hanaia no ia, ina paha o ka hapalua ia o ke aupuni.
2and as they drank their wine on that second day, the king asked once more, “Queen Esther, what is your petition? It will be given to you. What is your request? Even up to half the kingdom, it will be fulfilled.”
3Olelo aku la o Esetera o ke alii wahine, i aku la, Ina i loaa ia'u ke alohaia mai, imua ou, e ke alii, a ina i lealea ke alii, alaila e haawiia ko'u ola no'u ma kuu nonoi ana, a me ko'u lahuikanaka hoi, ma ka'u kauoha.
3Queen Esther replied, “If I have found favor in your sight, O king, and if it pleases the king, grant me my life as my petition, and the lives of my people as my request.
4No ka mea, ua kuaiia e lilo aku makou, owau, a me ko'u lahuikanaka, e lukuia, a e pepehiia hoi a make. Ina ua kuaiia a lilo aku makou i poe kauwakane, a i poe kauwawahine, ina ua olelo ole au, e hiki ole nae i ka enemi e pani i ka hakahaka o ko ke alii mea poho.
4For my people and I have been sold out to destruction, death, and annihilation. If we had merely been sold as menservants and maidservants, I would have remained silent, because no such distress would justify burdening the king.”
5Alaila, olelo mai ke alii, o Ahasuero, ninau mai la ia Esetera, i ke alii wahine, Owai la ia, auhea la hoi ka mea i hoopiha i kona naau, e hana pela?
5Then King Xerxes spoke up and asked Queen Esther, “Who is this, and where is the one who would devise such a scheme?”
6I aku la o Esetera, O ka enemi ka mea i ku e mai, o keia Hamana hewa no. Alaila, makau o Hamana imua i ke alo o ke alii, a me ke alii wahine.
6Esther replied, “The adversary and enemy is this wicked man—Haman!” And Haman stood in terror before the king and queen.
7Ku ae la ke alii mai ka ahainuwaina, me ka huhu, a hele aku la i ka pakanu o ka hale alii: a ku mai la Hamana imua o Esetera, ke alii wahine, e nonoi ia ia i ke, ola nona; no ka mea, ua ike oia, ua hoomakaukauia ka hewa nona, e ke alii.
7In his fury, the king arose from drinking his wine and went to the palace garden, while Haman stayed behind to beg Queen Esther for his life, for he realized that the king was planning a terrible fate for him.
8A hoi mai la ke alii mai ka pakanu o ka hale alii, a i kahi o ka ahainuwaina: ua hina o Hamana maluna o kahi i moe ai o Esetera. Alaila, i iho la ke alii, E pue anei oia i ke alii wahine, imua o ko'u alo iloko o ka hale? A puka aku la ia olelo iwaho o ka waha o ke alii, uhi iho la lakou i ka maka o Hamana.
8Just as the king returned from the palace garden to the banquet hall, Haman was falling on the couch where Esther was reclining. The king exclaimed, “Would he actually assault the queen while I am in the palace?” As soon as the words had left the king’s mouth, they covered Haman’s face.
9A olelo mai no hoi o Harebona, kekahi o na luna imua o ke alii, Aia hoi ke olokea, he kanalima kubita ke kiekie, ka mea a Hamana i hana'i no Moredekai, ka mea i olelo i ka maikai no ke alii, ke ku la no maloko o ka hale o Hamana. Alaila, i mai la ke alii, E liia oia nei maluna olaila.
9Then Harbonah, one of the eunuchs attending the king, said: “There is a gallows fifty cubits high at Haman’s house. He had it built for Mordecai, who gave the report that saved the king.” “Hang him on it!” declared the king.
10A li lakou ia Hamana ma ke olokea ana i hoomakaukau ai no Moredekai. Alaila, ua pau ka huhu o ke alii.
10So they hanged Haman on the gallows he had prepared for Mordecai. Then the fury of the king subsided.
