Esther 8:5 in English
Esther 8:5 · Berean Standard Bible
“If it pleases the king,” she said, “and if I have found favor in his sight, and the matter seems proper to the king, and I am pleasing in his sight, may an order be written to revoke the letters that the scheming Haman son of Hammedatha, the Agagite, wrote to destroy the Jews in all the king’s provinces.
Context
3Esta alimsihi tena mfalme, akianguka miguuni pake na kulia. Akamwomba akomeshe mpango mwovu wa Hamani Mwagagi ambao alikuwa ameupanga dhidi ya Wayahudi. 4Kisha mfalme alimnyooshea Esta fimbo yake ya utawala ya dhahabu naye aliinuka na kusimama mbele yake. 5Esta akasema, “Kama ikimpendeza mfalme, nami kama nikipata kibali naye akiona ni jambo lililo sawa kunitendea na kama akipendezwa nami, basi iandikwe amri ya kuzitangua barua zile Hamani mwana wa Hamedatha, Mwagagi, alizotunga na kuandika kuangamiza Wayahudi katika majimbo yote ya mfalme. 6Kwa maana nitawezaje kuvumilia kuona maafa yakiwapata watu wangu? Nitawezaje kuvumilia kuona maangamizi ya jamaa yangu?” 7Mfalme Ahasuero akawajibu Malkia Esta na Mordekai Myahudi, “Kwa sababu Hamani aliwashambulia Wayahudi, nimetoa shamba la Hamani kwa Esta, naye ameangikwa kwenye mti wa kunyongea.
