1Now it happened on the third day that Esther put on her royal clothing, and stood in the inner court of the king’s house, next to the king’s house. The king sat on his royal throne in the royal house, next to the entrance of the house.
1 I go no, zaari hinzanta hane, kala Esta na nga koytaray bankaaray daŋ. A kay bonkoono windo ra haray batama ra, bonkoono faada jine. Bonkoono goono ga goro nga koytaray karga boŋ koytaray windo ra, moyduma go ga guna windo me haray.
2When the king saw Esther the queen standing in the court, she obtained favor in his sight; and the king held out to Esther the golden scepter that was in his hand. So Esther came near, and touched the top of the scepter.
2 A ciya binde, waato kaŋ bonkoono di nga wande Esta goono ga kay batama ra, kal a du gaakuri bonkoono do. Bonkoono mo na wura koytaray sarjilla kaŋ go nga kambe ra din salle Esta se. Esta mo maan ka koytaray sarjilla boŋo ham.
3Then the king asked her, “What would you like, queen Esther? What is your request? It shall be given you even to the half of the kingdom.”
3 Gaa no bonkoono ne a se: «Ya nin ay wande Esta, ifo no ni ga ba? Ifo mo no ga ti ni ŋwaarayyaŋo? I ga ni no nd'a, baa mayra jara no.»
4Esther said, “If it seems good to the king, let the king and Haman come today to the banquet that I have prepared for him.”
4 Esta mo ne: «Hala day bonkoono di a ga boori, naŋ bonkoono nda Haman ma kaa hunkuna bato kaŋ ay soola a se din do.»
5Then the king said, “Bring Haman quickly, so that it may be done as Esther has said.” So the king and Haman came to the banquet that Esther had prepared.
5 Alwaato din no bonkoono ne: «I ma daŋ Haman ma waasu, zama i ma te Esta ciyaŋo boŋ.» Bonkoono da Haman binde kaa bato kaŋ Esta soola i se din do.
6The king said to Esther at the banquet of wine, “What is your petition? It shall be granted you. What is your request? Even to the half of the kingdom it shall be performed.”
6 Kaŋ duvan haŋyaŋ waate kaa ka to bato ra, kala bonkoono ne Esta se: «Ifo no ga ti ni ŋwaarayyaŋo? I g'a te ni se. Ifo no ni ga ba? Baa mayra jara no, i ga ni no nd'a.»
7Then Esther answered and said, “My petition and my request is this.
7 Gaa no Esta tu ka ne: «Ay ŋwaarayyaŋo d'ay ceeciyaŋo neeya:
8If I have found favor in the sight of the king, and if it please the king to grant my petition and to perform my request, let the king and Haman come to the banquet that I will prepare for them, and I will do tomorrow as the king has said.”
8 Hala day ay du gaakuri bonkoono jine, d'a kaan bonkoono se mo koyne, a m'ay ŋwaarayyaŋo ta, a m'ay muraado feeri mo ay se, naŋ bonkoono da Haman ma kaa bato kaŋ ay ga soola i se din do. Ay mo, suba ya te haŋ kaŋ bonkoono ci.»
9Then Haman went out that day joyful and glad of heart, but when Haman saw Mordecai in the king’s gate, that he didn’t stand up nor move for him, he was filled with wrath against Mordecai.
9 Haman binde fatta nda farhã da bine kaani han din hane. Amma waato kaŋ Haman di Mordekay bonkoono windo me gaa, a mana tun ka kay, a mana jijiri mo nga jine, kal a to da futay korno Mordekay se.
10Nevertheless Haman restrained himself, and went home. There, he sent and called for his friends and Zeresh his wife.
10 Amma kulu nda yaadin Haman hin nga bina ka koy fu. A naŋ mo i ma nga corey da nga wande Zeres ce.
11Haman recounted to them the glory of his riches, the multitude of his children, all the things in which the king had promoted him, and how he had advanced him above the princes and servants of the king.
11 Haman na nga arzaka baayaŋo dede i se, da nga izey baayaŋ kulu, da nangey kulu kaŋ bonkoono n'a beerandi k'a daŋ jina laabukoyey da bonkoono tamey boŋ.
12Haman also said, “Yes, Esther the queen let no man come in with the king to the banquet that she had prepared but myself; and tomorrow I am also invited by her together with the king.
12 Haman ye ka tonton ka ne: «Oho, hala bonkoono wande Esta bumbo mo mana yadda boro kulu ma furo bonkoono banda bato kaŋ a soola din do, kal ay hinne. Suba mo a ye k'ay ce batu fo do bonkoono banda.
13Yet all this avails me nothing, so long as I see Mordecai the Jew sitting at the king’s gate.”
13 Amma woodin yaŋ man'ay nafa nda hay kulu baa kayna d'ay goono ga di Yahudanca din Mordekay goono ga goro bonkoono windo me gaa.»
14Then Zeresh his wife and all his friends said to him, “Let a gallows be made fifty cubits high, and in the morning speak to the king about hanging Mordecai on it. Then go in merrily with the king to the banquet.” This pleased Haman, so he had the gallows made.
14 Alwaato din binde a wando Zeres da nga corey kulu ne a se: «Ma naŋ i ma bundu sinji kaŋ a kayyaŋ ga to kambe kar waygu. Suba susubay mo ni ma salaŋ bonkoono se ka ne i ma Mordekay sarku a gaa. Woodin banda ni ma koy bonkoono banda da bina kaani, ka koy bato do.» Woodin binde kaan Haman se, a naŋ mo i ma bundo sinji.
