Esther 3
1 After these things, by the order of the king, Haman, the son of Hammedatha the Agagite, was lifted up and given a position of honour and a higher place than all the other captains who were with him.
Sima na makambo oyo, mokonzi Kizerisesi apesaki lokumu epai ya Amani, mwana mobali ya Amedata, moto ya mboka Agagi; atombolaki ye mpe atiaki ye likolo ya bakalaka nyonso.
2 And all the king's servants who were in the king's house went down to the earth before Haman and gave him honour: for so the king had given orders. But Mordecai did not go down before him or give him honour.
Bakalaka nyonso oyo bazalaki kosala na ndako ya mokonzi bakomaki kofukama mpe kopesa Amani lokumu, pamba te mokonzi atindaki ete basala bongo mpo na ye. Kasi Maridoshe azalaki kofukamela ye te mpe azalaki kopesa ye lokumu te.
3 Then the king's servants who were in the king's house said to Mordecai, Why do you go against the king's order?
Bakalaka oyo bazalaki kosala na ndako ya mokonzi batunaki Maridoshe: — Mpo na nini otosaka mitindo ya mokonzi te?
4 Now when they had said this to him day after day and he gave no attention, they let Haman have news of it, to see if Mordecai's behaviour would be overlooked: for he had said to them that he was a Jew.
Bazalaki koloba na ye bongo mikolo nyonso, kasi Maridoshe azalaki kaka koboya koyoka bango. Boye, bayebisaki Amani makambo yango mpo na koyeba soki ezaleli ya Maridoshe ekondimama mpe soki akokangama kaka na maloba na ye, pamba te ayebisaki bango ete azali Moyuda.
5 And when Haman saw that Mordecai did not go down before him and give him honour, Haman was full of wrath.
Tango Amani asosolaki ete Maridoshe afukamelaka ye te mpe apesaka ye lokumu te, asilikaki makasi.
6 But it was not enough for him to make an attack on Mordecai only; for they had made clear to him who Mordecai's people were; so Haman made it his purpose to put an end to all the Jews, even Mordecai's people, through all the kingdom of Ahasuerus.
Nzokande Amani asilaki koyoka ete Maridoshe azali Moyuda. Boye amonaki ete likanisi ya koboma kaka Maridoshe ekoki te; alukaki nzela ya koboma Bayuda nyonso, bato ya Maridoshe, kati na mokili mobimba ya mokonzi Kizerisesi.
7 In the first month, the month Nisan, in the twelfth year of King Ahasuerus, from day to day and from month to month they went on looking for a sign given by Pur (that is chance) before Haman, till the sign came out for the thirteenth day of the twelfth month, the month Adar.
Na sanza ya liboso, sanza ya Nisani, na mobu ya zomi na mibale ya Mokonzi Kizerisesi, babetaki zeke oyo babengaka « Puri » liboso ya Amani mpo na kopona mokolo mpe sanza ya koboma Bayuda. Bongo zeke ekweyaki na sanza ya zomi na mibale, sanza ya Adari.
8 And Haman said to King Ahasuerus, There is a certain nation living here and there in small groups among the people in all the divisions of your kingdom; their laws are different from those of any other nation, and they do not keep the king's laws: for this reason it is not right for the king to let them be.
Amani alobaki na mokonzi Kizerisesi: — Ezali na bato moko oyo bakeseni na bato mosusu, bapanzani kati na bato mpe kati na bituka nyonso ya mokili na yo ya bokonzi; bizaleli na bango ekeseni na bizaleli ya bato mosusu, bongo batosaka mibeko ya mokonzi te; ezali malamu te mpo na mokonzi kotika bango na kimia.
9 If it is the king's pleasure, let a statement ordering their destruction be put in writing: and I will give to those responsible for the king's business, ten thousand talents of silver for the king's store-house.
Soki esepelisi mokonzi, tika ete abimisa mobeko ya koboma bango; mpe ngai nakopesa na maboko ya bakalaka oyo batalaka makambo ya mokonzi mbongo ya bibende ya palata nkoto zomi mpo ete batia yango kati na libenga ya mokonzi.
10 And the king took his ring from his hand and gave it to Haman, the son of Hammedatha the Agagite, the hater of the Jews.
Mokonzi alongolaki lopete na ye na mosapi na ye mpe apesaki yango epai ya Amani, mwana mobali ya Amedata, moto ya mboka Agagi, monguna ya Bayuda.
11 And the king said to Haman, The money is yours, and the people, to do with them whatever seems right to you.
Mokonzi alobaki na Amani: — Bomba palata na yo! Sala nyonso oyo olingi epai ya bato yango.
12 Then on the thirteenth day of the first month, the king's scribes were sent for, and they put in writing Haman's orders to all the king's captains and the rulers of every division of his kingdom and the chiefs of every people: for every division of the kingdom in the writing commonly used there, and to every people in the language which was theirs; it was signed in the name of King Ahasuerus and stamped with the king's ring.
Boye, na mokolo ya zomi na misato ya sanza ya liboso, babengisaki bakomi mikanda ya mokonzi; mpe na mitindo ya Amani, bakomaki mitindo nyonso ya Amani epai ya bakalaka ya lokumu ya mokonzi, epai ya bayangeli ya etuka moko na moko mpe epai ya bakalaka ya ekolo moko na moko, kolanda lolenge ya kokoma ya etuka moko na moko mpe lokota ya ekolo moko na moko. Bakomaki yango na kombo ya mokonzi Kizerisesi mpe babetaki yango kashe ya mokonzi.
13 And letters were sent by the runners into every division of the kingdom ordering the death and destruction of all Jews, young and old, little children and women, on the same day, even the thirteenth day of the twelfth month, the month Adar, and the taking of all their goods by force.
Bongo mikanda yango etindamaki na bituka nyonso ya mokonzi, na nzela ya bantoma, mpo na kobebisa, koboma mpe kolimwisa Bayuda nyonso, bilenge mpe mikolo, bana mpe basi, kaka na mokolo moko, mokolo ya zomi na misato ya sanza ya zomi na mibale, sanza ya Adari; mpe kobotola na makasi biloko na bango.
14 A copy of the writing, to be made public in every part of the kingdom, was sent out to all the peoples, so that they might be ready when that day came.
Basengelaki kopanza kati na bituka nyonso sango ya mobeko yango mpe kolakisa yango na bato ya bikolo nyonso mpo ete babongama mpo na mokolo wana.
15 The runners went out quickly by the king's order, and a public statement was made in Shushan: and the king and Haman took wine together: but the town of Shushan was troubled.
Boye, na mitindo ya mokonzi, bantoma bakendeki na lombangu mpe bapanzaki kati na Size, engumba mokonzi, sango ya mobeko ya mokonzi. Wana mokonzi mpe Amani bavandaki mpo na komela masanga, engumba Size ezalaki kati na matanga.
