¹And the king and Haman came to drink with Esther the queen.

¹[Ny nanonganana an'i Hamana sy ny namonoana azy] Ary ny mpanjaka sy Hamana dia nankao amin'i Estera, vadin'ny mpanjaka, ho ao amin'ny fanasana

²And the king said again to Esther on the second day, at the banquet of wine, What is thy petition, queen Esther? and it shall be granted thee; and what is thy request? even to the half of the kingdom it shall be done.

²Ary hoy indray ny mpanjaka tamin'i Estera teo am-pisotroan-divay tamin'ny andro faharoa inona no angatahinao, ry Estera, vadin'ny mpanjaka? Fa homena anao izany. Ary inona ange no tadiavinao? Fa na dia hatramin'ny antsasaky ny fanjakana aza dia hotovina izany.

³And Esther the queen answered and said, If I have found grace 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;

³Dia namaly Estera, vadin'ny mpanjaka, ka nanao hoe: Raha mahita fitia eto imasonao ary aho, ry mpanjaka, ka sitraky ny mpanjaka, dia aoka homena ahy ny aiko araka ny fifonako ary ny fireneko araka ny fangatahako;

⁴for 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 tongue, although the adversary could not compensate the king's damage.

⁴fa namidy izahay, dia izaho sy ny fireneko, mba haringana sy hovonoina ary haripaka; fa raha tahìny namidy ho andevolahy sy ho andevovavy izahay, dia ho nangina ihany aho; kanefa anie tsy mahonitra ny fatiantoky ny mpanjaka tsinona ilay fahavalo e.

⁵And king Ahasuerus spoke and said to Esther the queen, Who is he, and where is he that has filled his heart to do so?

⁵Dia namaly Ahasoerosy mpanjaka ka nanao tamin'i Estera, vadin'ny mpanjaka, hoe: Iza moa izany, ary aiza no hisy hasesiky ny fony hanao izany akory?

⁶And Esther said, The adversary and enemy is this wicked Haman. Then Haman was terrified before the king and the queen.

⁶Fa hoy Estera: Io Hamana ratsy fanahy io no rafilahy sy fahavalo! Dia raiki-tahotra teo anatrehan'ny mpanjaka sy ny vadin'ny mpanjaka Hamana.

⁷And the king in his wrath rose up from the banquet of wine, [and went] into the palace garden; but Haman stayed to make request for his life to Esther the queen, for he saw that there was evil determined against him by the king.

⁷Ary tezitra dia tezitra ny mpanjaka, dia nitsangana niala teo am-pisotroan-divay ho eny an-tanimbolin'ny trano; ary Hamana kosa nitsangana hangataka ny ainy tamin'i Estera, vadin'ny mpanjaka, satria hitany fa misy loza hamelin'ny mpanjaka azy.

⁸And the king returned out of the palace garden into the house of the banquet of wine, and Haman was fallen upon the couch on which Esther was. And the king said, Will he even force the queen before me in the house? The word went forth out of the king's mouth, and they covered Haman's face.

⁸Ary ny mpanjaka niverina avy teo an-tanimbolin'ny trano ho ao amin'ilay efa nisotroany divay teo, ary Hamana sendra niapoka tamin'ny farafara nandrian'i Estera. Dia hoy ny mpanjaka: Moa hisavika ny vadin'ny mpanjaka eto anatrehako eto an-trano va io? Raha vantany vao naloaky ny vavan'ny mpanjaka izany teny izany, dia nisy nanarona ny tavan'i Hamana

⁹And Harbonah, one of the chamberlains, said before the king, Behold, also, the gallows fifty cubits high, that Haman made for Mordecai, who spoke good for the king, stands in the house of Haman. And the king said, Hang him on it!

⁹Ary Harbona, tsindranolahy anankiray, izay teo anatrehan'ny mpanjaka, dia nilaza hoe Indro miorina eo akaikin'ny tranon'i Hamana ny hazo, dimam-polo hakiho ny hahavony, izay nataon'i Hamana hanantonany an'i Mordekay, ilay niteny soa ho an'ny mpanjaka. Dia hoy ny mpanjaka ahantòny amin'io izy. [Heb. ionoka]Ary Hamana dia nahantony tamin'ilay hazo efa natsangany hanantonana an'i Mordekay. Dia vao izay no nionona ny hatezeran'ny mpanjaka.

¹⁰So they hanged Haman on the gallows that he had prepared for Mordecai. And the king's wrath was appeased.

¹⁰Ary Hamana dia nahantony tamin'ilay hazo efa natsangany hanantonana an'i Mordekay. Dia vao izay no nionona ny hatezeran'ny mpanjaka.
