Esther

7

1And the king and Haman came to drink with Esther the queen.
1 Kala bonkoono da Haman koy bato do bonkoono wando Esta do.
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.
2 Zaari hinkanta, waato kaŋ i to duvan haŋyaŋo waate, bonkoono ye ka ne Esta se: «Ya ay wande Esta, ifo no ni ŋwaarayyaŋo? I ga yadda nd'a ni se. Ifo no ga ti ni ceeciyaŋo mo? I g'a te ni se, baa mayra jare no.»
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;
3 Gaa no bonkoono wande Esta tu ka ne: «D'ay du gaakuri ni jine, ya ay bonkoono, d'a kaan bonkoono se mo, ni m'ay no ay fundo ay ŋwaara boŋ, ay dumo fundo mo ay ceeciyaŋo boŋ.
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.
4 Zama i n'iri neera no, in d'ay dumo, zama i m'iri halaci, i m'iri wi, iri ma ban mo. Amma d'a ga ciya i ma ne i n'iri neera iri ma ciya bannyayaŋ da koŋŋoyaŋ, doŋ ay ga dangay. Amma day ibara si hin ka bonkoono mursay bana.»
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?
5 Bonkoono Zerses binde salaŋ nga wando Esta se ka ne: «May no bora? Man n'a go mo, bora kaŋ ga ta ka woodin teeyaŋ miila, baa nga bina ra?»
6And Esther said, The adversary and enemy is this wicked Haman. Then Haman was terrified before the king and the queen.
6 Esta mo ne: «Ibare no, da wanga mo, nga ga ti boro laalo wo Haman!» Waato din no Haman humburu bonkoono da nga wando jine.
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.
7 Kala bonkoono tun da futay duvan haŋyaŋo do ka koy faada tuuri boosi kalo do. Haman mo tun ka kay zama nga ma nga fundo ŋwaarayyaŋ te bonkoono wande Esta gaa, zama a di kaŋ bonkoono goono ga ilaalo soola nga bina ra.
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.
8 Waato din gaa bonkoono kaa ka fun faada tuuri boosi kalo do ka furo fuwo ra. Kala Haman go, a kaŋ daaro meyo gaa, nangu kaŋ bonkoono wande Esta go. Kala bonkoono ne: «A ga ba k'ay wande kaynandi ay jine fuwo ra nooya?» Sanno to ka fatta bonkoono meyo ra ya-cine day, kal i na Haman moyduma bangum.
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!
9 Alwaato din no Harbona, mantawey ra afo, kaŋ go bonkoono jine ne: «Bundu fo neeya, kambe kar waygu kuuyaŋ wane, kaŋ Haman soola Mordekay se, nga kaŋ na gomni te bonkoono se. Bundo go Haman kwaara.» Bonkoono ne i ma Haman sarku bundo din gaa.
10So they hanged Haman on the gallows that he had prepared for Mordecai. And the king's wrath was appeased.
10 Yaadin cine no i na Haman sarku nd'a bundo kaŋ a soola Mordekay se din gaa. Woodin banda no bonkoono futa zumbu.
