< Esther 3 >

1 After these things king Ahasuerus promoted Haman the son of Hammedatha the Agagite, and advanced him, and set his seat above all the rulers that were with him.
Kalpasan dagitoy a banbanag, impangato ni Ari Ahasuero ti saad ni Haman a putot ni Hamedata nga Agagita, ket naisaad ti turayna a nangatngato ngem kadagiti amin nga opisial a kaduana.
2 And all the king's servants, who were in the king's gate, bowed down, and did reverence to Haman, for the king had so commanded concerning him. But Mordecai did not bow down, nor do him reverence.
Dagiti amin nga adipen iti ari nga adda iti ruangan ti palasio ti ari ket kankanayon nga agparintumeng ken agpakleb iti sangoanan ni Haman, kas iti imbilin ti ari nga aramidenda. Ngem saan a nagparitumeng wenno nagpakleb ni Mardokeo.
3 Then the king's servants, who were in the king's gate, said to Mordecai, Why do thou transgress the king's commandment?
Ket kinuna dagiti adipen ti ari nga adda iti ruangan ti palasio ti ari kenni Mardokeo, “Apay a salsalungasingem ti bilin iti ari?”
4 Now it came to pass, when they spoke daily to him, and he did not hearken to them, that they told Haman, to see whether Mordecai's matters would stand, for he had told them that he was a Jew.
Inaldaw-aldaw a katkatungtungenda isuna, ngem nagkedked isuna nga agtulnog iti kalikagumda. Isu a nakitungtongda kenni Haman tapno makita no agtalinaed latta ti banag maipanggep kenni Mardokeo, ta imbagana kadakuada nga isuna ket maysa a Judio.
5 And when Haman saw that Mordecai did not bow down, nor do him reverence, then Haman was full of wrath.
Idi nakita ni Haman a saan a nagparintumeng ken nagtamed ni Mardokeo kenkuana, nakapungtot ni Haman.
6 But he disdained to lay hands on Mordecai alone, for they had made known to him the people of Mordecai. Therefore Haman sought to destroy all the Jews that were throughout the whole kingdom of Ahasuerus, even the people of Mordecai.
Kinagurana ti kapanunutan a ni Mardokeo laeng ti mapapatay, ta imbaga dagiti adipen ti ari no siasino dagiti tattao ni Mardokeo. Kayat ni Haman a mapukaw dagiti amin a Judio, dagiti tattao ni Mardokeo, nga adda iti entero a pagarian ni Ahasuero.
7 In the first month, which is the month Nisan, in the twelfth year of king Ahasuerus, they cast Pur, that is, the lot, before Haman from day to day, and from month to month, to the twelfth month, which is the month Adar.
Iti umuna a bulan (a bulan ti Nisan), iti maikasangapulo ket dua a tawen ni Ari Ahasuero, adda iti nangipuruak iti Pur—dayta ket nagbibinnunotda—iti sangoanan ni Haman—binnunotan para iti tunggal aldaw ken bulan, tapno makapilida ti aldaw ken bulan— agingga a napilida ti maikasangapulo ket dua a bulan (ti bulan iti Adar).
8 And Haman said to king Ahasuerus, There is a certain people scattered abroad and dispersed among the peoples in all the provinces of thy kingdom, and their laws are diverse from those of every people, nor do they keep the king's laws. Therefore it is not for the king's profit to endure them.
Ket kinuna ni Haman kenni Ari Ahasuero, “Adda iti bunggoy dagiti tattao a naiwaras ken naibunong kadagiti amin a probinsia iti pagariam. Dagiti lintegda ket naidumduma kadagiti sabali a tattao, ket saanda a salsaluadan dagiti linteg ti ari, isu a saan a maiparbeng a palubosan ida iti ari nga agtalinaed.
9 If it please the king, let it be written that they be destroyed. And I will pay ten thousand talents of silver into the hands of those who have the charge of the king's business, to bring it into the king's treasuries.
No makaay-ayo daytoy iti ari, mangitedka iti bilin a papatayen isuda, ket mangtimbangak iti sangapulo a ribo a talento ti pirak a maipaima kadagidiay mangay-aywan kadagiti sanikua ti ari, tapno ikabilda daytoy iti pangiduldulinan ti kinabaknang ti ari.”
10 And the king took his ring from his hand, and gave it to Haman the son of Hammedatha the Agagite, the Jews' enemy.
Ket inuksot ti ari iti pagtatak a singsing manipud iti imana ket intedna daytoy kenni Haman a putot ni Hamedata nga Agagita, a kabusor dagiti Judio.
11 And the king said to Haman, The silver is given to thee, the people also, to do with them as it seems good to thee.
Kinuna ti ari kenni Haman, “Kitaekto a maisubli kenka ken kadagiti tattaom ti kuarta. Aramidemto ti aniaman a kalikagummo iti daytoy.”
12 Then the king's scribes were called in the first month, on the thirteenth day of it. And there was written according to all that Haman commanded to the king's satraps, and to the governors who were over every province, and to the rulers of every people, to every province according to the writing of it, and to every people after their language, in the name of king Ahasuerus it was written. And it was sealed with the king's ring.
Ket napaayaban dagiti eskriba ti ari iti maikasangapulo ket tallo nga aldaw ti umuna a bulan, ket ti linteg a naglaon kadagiti amin nga imbilin ni Haman ket naisurat para kadagiti gobernador dagiti probinsia ti ari, dagidiay nga adda iti amin a probinsia, kadagiti gobernador iti nadumaduma a tattao, ken kadagiti opisial dagiti amin a tattao, iti tumunggal probinsia iti bukodda a pannurat, ken iti tumunggal tattao iti bukodda a pagsasao. Naisurat daytoy iti nagan ni Ari Ahasuero ken napasingkedan babaen iti singsingna.
13 And letters were sent by posts into all the king's provinces, to destroy, to kill, and to cause to perish, all Jews, both young and old, little sons and women, in one day, even upon the thirteenth day of the twelfth month, which is the month Adar, and to take the spoil of them for a prey.
Dagiti kasuratan ket naipatulod ken naiyawat kadagiti amin a probinsia iti ari, tapno pukawen, papatayen, ken dadaelen amin dagiti Judio, manipud iti kaubingan agingga iti kalakayan, ubbing ken babbai, iti maysa nga aldaw—iti maikasangapulo ket tallo nga aldaw iti maikasangapulo ket dua a bulan (a bulan ti Adar) —ken tapno samsamenda dagiti sanikuada.
14 A copy of the writing that the decree should be given out in every province was published to all the peoples, that they should be ready against that day.
Ti kopya ti surat ket naaramid a linteg iti tunggal probinsia. Naipakaamo kadagiti amin a tattao iti tunggal probinsia a nasken nga agsaganada para iti daytoy nga aldaw.
15 The posts went forth in haste by the king's commandment, and the decree was given out in Shushan the palace. And the king and Haman sat down to drink, but the city of Shushan was perplexed.
Rimuar ken nagap-apura dagiti mensahero a nangiwaras iti bilin ti ari. Naiwaras met ti bilin iti palasio ti Susa. Nagtugaw nga agin-inum ti ari ken ni Haman, ngem mariribukan ti siudad ti Susa.
