Gibitay si Haman
1Nanihapon si Haring Ahasuerus ug si Haman uban kang Rayna Ester. 2Samtang nagainom sila ug bino niining ikaduhang higayon, nangutana pag-usab ang hari kang Rayna Ester, “Unsa ba gayod ang imong tuyo? Isulti lang kay ihatag ko kanimo bisan ang katunga pa sa akong gingharian.” 3Mitubag si Rayna Ester, “Kon tinuod nga nalipay ka kanako ug ikahimuot mo ang paghatag sa akong pangayoon, Mahal nga Hari, luwasa ako ug ang akong katawhan. Mao kini ang akong hangyo kanimo. 4Kay ako ug ang akong katawhan gibaligya na ngadto sa mopatay ug mopuo kanamo. Kon gibaligya lang kami aron mahimong ulipon, magpakahilom na lang unta ako tungod kay dili man kana igo nga hinungdan aron samokon ko pa ikaw.”
5Mitubag si Haring Ahasuerus kaniya, “Kinsa ang nangahas sa paghimo niana ug hain siya karon?” 6Mitubag si Ester, “Ang among kaaway walay lain kondili kining daotan nga si Haman.”
Labihang kahadlok ni Haman sa atubangan sa hari ug sa rayna. 7Unya mitindog ang hari sa labihang kasuko. Gibiyaan niya ang iyang ilimnon ug miadto sa hardin sa palasyo. Apan nagpabilin si Haman ug nagpakilooy kang Rayna Ester tungod kay nasayod siya nga silotan gayod siya sa hari.
8Sa pagbalik sa hari gikan sa hardin, iyang nakita si Haman nga nagahapa sa sopa nga ginalingkoran ni Ester. Miingon ang hari, “Buot mo pang lugoson ang rayna bisan ania ako dinhi sa palasyo!”
Pagkahuman gayod ug sulti sa hari niini, gitabonan sa mga sulugoon ang ulo7:8 gitabonan… ang ulo: Tingali timailhan kini nga patyon siya. ni Haman. 9Unya miingon si Harbona, nga usa sa mga personal nga alagad sa hari, “Nagpaandam si Haman ug talinis nga kahoy nga 75 ka piye ang gihabugon didto sa tapad sa iyang balay. Gipahimo niya kadto alang kang Mordecai, ang tawo nga nakaluwas sa imong kinabuhi, Mahal nga Hari.”
Miingon ang hari, “Tuhoga siya didto!” 10Busa gituhog nila si Haman sa kahoy nga gipahimo niya alang unta kang Mordecai. Unya nahupay ang kasuko sa hari.
1So the king and Haman came to banquet with Esther the queen.7.1 to banquet: Heb. to drink 2And the king said again unto 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? and it shall be performed, even to the half of the kingdom. 3Then 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: 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 enemy could not countervail the king’s damage.7.4 to be destroyed…: Heb. that they should destroy, and kill, and cause to perish
5¶ Then the king Ahasuerus answered and said unto Esther the queen, Who is he, and where is he, that durst presume in his heart to do so?7.5 that…: Heb. whose heart hath filled him 6And Esther said, The adversary and enemy is this wicked Haman. Then Haman was afraid before the king and the queen.7.6 The adversary: Heb. The man adversary7.6 before: or, at the presence of
7¶ And the king arising from the banquet of wine in his wrath 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. 8Then the king returned out of the palace garden into the place of the banquet of wine; and Haman was fallen upon the bed whereon Esther was. Then said the king, Will he force the queen also before me in the house? As the word went out of the king’s mouth, they covered Haman’s face.7.8 before me: Heb. with me 9And Harbonah, one of the chamberlains, said before the king, Behold also, the gallows fifty cubits high, which Haman had made for Mordecai, who had spoken good for the king, standeth in the house of Haman. Then the king said, Hang him thereon.7.9 gallows: Heb. tree 10So they hanged Haman on the gallows that he had prepared for Mordecai. Then was the king’s wrath pacified.
