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.
यी कुरापछि राजा अहासूरसले अगागी हम्मदाताका छोरा हामानलाई बढुवा गरे, र तिनीसित भएका सबै अधिकारीभन्दा तिनको अधिकारको पद माथि राखिदिए ।
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.
राजाको ढोकामा भएका सबै सेवकले हामानको सामु घुँडा टेक्नु र लम्पसार परेर दण्डवत् गर्नु भन्ने आदेश राजाबाट भएको थियो । तर मोर्दकैले न घँडा टेके, न लम्पसार परे ।
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?
तब राजाको ढोकामा बस्ने राजाका सेवकहरूले मोर्दकैलाई भने, “राजाको आज्ञालाई तपाईं किन अटेर गर्नुहुन्छ?”
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.
तिनीहरूले दिनप्रतिदिन तिनीसित उही कुरा गरे तापनि तिनले उनीहरूका इच्छाको बेवास्ता गरे । त्यसैले मोर्दकैको बारेमा त्यस्तै रहन्छ कि रहँदैन भनी तिनीहरूले त्यो कुरा हामानलाई बताए किनकि मोर्दकै यहूदी थिए भनी उनले तिनीहरूलाई भनेका थिए ।
5 And when Haman saw that Mordecai did not go down before him and give him honour, Haman was full of wrath.
हामानको सामु मोर्दकैले घुँडा नटेकेको र ननिहुरेको कुरा जब हामानले देखे, तब तिनी रिसले चूर भए ।
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.
मोर्दकैलाई मात्र मार्नुपर्छ भन्ने विचारलाई तिनले टेरेनन् किनकि मोर्दकैका मानिसहरू को थिए भनी राजाका सेवकहरूले तिनलाई बताएका थिए । हामानले अहासूरसको सम्पूर्ण राज्यमा भएका सारा यहूदी अर्थात् मोर्दकैको जातिलाई सखाप पार्न चाहन्थे ।
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.
राजा अहासूरसको बाह्रौँ वर्षको पहिलो महिनामा (जुन नीसान महिना हो) दिन र महिनाको छनोट गर्न हामानको सामु पुर अर्थात् चिट्ठा हालियो । चिट्ठा बाह्रौँ महिनामा (जुन अदार महिना हो) नपरेसम्म तिनीहरूले चिट्ठा हालिरहे ।
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.
तब हामानले राजा अहासूरसलाई भने, “एउटा कोही मानिसहरू छन् जुन हजुरको राज्यका सारा प्रान्तभिर छरिएर रहेका छन् । तिनीहरूको व्यवस्था अरू मानिसहरूको भन्दा फरक छ, र तिनीहरूले राजाको व्यवस्था पालन गर्दैनन् । त्यसैले तिनीहरूलाई छोडिदिनु राजाको लागि उचित होइन ।
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.
राजालाई खुसी लागेमा तिनीहरूलाई मार्ने आदेश दिनुहोस्, र यो काम गर्ने राजाका कर्मचारीहरूका निम्ति म राजकोषमा जम्मा गर्न तिन लाख किलो चाँदी दिनेछु ।”
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.
तब राजाले आफ्नो हातबाट छाप-औँठी निकाले र यहूदीहरूका शत्रु अगागी हम्मदाताका छोरा हामानलाई त्यो दिए ।
11 And the king said to Haman, The money is yours, and the people, to do with them whatever seems right to you.
राजाले हामानलाई भने, “तिमी र तिम्रा मानिसहरूलाई रुपियाँ-पैसा फिर्ता दिइएको म हेर्नेछु । तिमीलाई इच्छा छ त्यही त्यसले गर ।”
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.
तब पहिलो महिनाको तेह्रौँ दिनमा राजाका सचिवहरूलाई बोलाइयो, र हामानको आदेश समावेश गर्ने गरी एउटा उर्दी लेखेर राजा प्रान्तीय गभर्नरहरू, सबै प्रान्तका अधिकारीहरू, विभिन्न जातिका सबै गभर्नरहरू, सबैजातिका अधिकारीहरूलाई हरेक प्रान्तमा तिनीहरूको आफ्नै लिपि र हरेक जातिको आफ्नै भाषामा पठाइयो । यसलाई राजा अहासूरसको नाउँमा लेखिएको र त्यसलाई तिनको औँठीद्वारा छाप लगाइएको थियो ।
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.
बाह्रौँ महिना (जुन अदार महिना हो) को तेह्रौँ दिनमा युवादेखि वृद्धसम्म, बालबालिका र महिला सबै यहूदीलाई एकै दिनमा नामेट पार्न, मार्न र नाश गर्न अनि तिनीहरूका धन-सम्पत्ति खोस्न राजाका सारा प्रान्तमा पत्रवाहकहरूद्वारा चिठ्ठीहरू पठाइए ।
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.
हरेक प्रान्तमा उक्त चिट्ठीको एकप्रतिलाई कानुन बनाइयो । तिनीहरू त्यही दिन तयार हुनुपर्छ भनेर हरेक प्रान्तमा सबै मानिसलाई जानकारी गराइयो ।
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.
राजाको आदेशलाई वितरण गर्न पत्रवाहकहरू हतारिए गए । शूशनको किल्लाभित्र पनि उर्दी बाँडियो । राजा र हामान पिउनलाई बसे, तर शूशन सहरमा भने हलचल मच्चियो ।
