< Esther 9 >

1 And in the twelfth month, that is, the month Adar, on the thirteenth day thereof, when the king's commandment and his decree drew near to be put in execution, in the day that the enemies of the Jews hoped to have power over them (but it was turned to the contrary, that the Jews had power over them that hated them),
Ary tamin’ ny andro fahatelo ambin’ ny folo tamin’ ny volana faharoa ambin’ ny folo (volana Adara izany), rehefa akaiky ny andro hanatanterahana ny tenin’ ny mpanjaka sy ny didiny, dia ny andro izay efa nantenain’ ny fahavalon’ ny Jiosy haharesena azy indrindra (kanjo navadika izany, ka ny Jiosy kosa no naharesy izay nankahala azy),
2 the Jews gathered themselves together in their cities throughout the provinces of king Ahasuerus, to lay hand on such as sought their hurt. And no man could withstand them; for the fear of them had fallen upon all the peoples.
dia nivory tany an-tanànany avy ny Jiosy, tany amin’ ny isan-tokony eran’ ny fanjakan’ i Ahasoerosy mpanjaka, mba hamely izay nividy hanisy ratsy azy; ary tsy nisy olona nahajanona teo anoloany, fa efa nahazo ny olona rehetra ny fahatahorana azy.
3 And all the princes of the provinces, and the satraps, and the governors and officers of the king, helped the Jews; for the fear of Mordecai had fallen upon them.
Ary ny mpanapaka rehetra isan-tokony tamin’ ny fanjakana sy ny solo-mpanjaka sy ny governora mbamin’ ny mpanao raharahan’ ny mpanjaka dia nanampy ny Jiosy, satria azon’ ny fahatahorana an’ i Mordekay izy.
4 For Mordecai was great in the king's house, and his fame went forth throughout the provinces; for the man Mordecai became continually greater.
Fa Mordekay dia lehibe tao an-tranon’ ny mpanjaka, ary ny lazany niely tany amin’ ny isan-tokony eran’ ny fanjakana; fa nitombo sy nisandratra ihany io lehilahy Mordekay io.
5 And the Jews smote all their enemies with the stroke of the sword and slaughter and destruction, and did what they would to those that hated them.
Ary nasian’ ny Jiosy ny fahavalony rehetra ka nokapainy sabatra sy novonoiny ary naringany, fa nahazo nanao araka izay sitraky ny fony tamin’ izay nankahala azy izy.
6 And in Shushan the fortress the Jews slew and destroyed five hundred men.
Ary tany Sosana renivohitra aza ny Jiosy dia nahavono sy naharingana diman-jato lahy;
7 And Parshandatha, and Dalphon, and Aspatha,
ary Parsandata sy Dalfona sy Aspata
8 and Poratha, and Adalia, and Aridatha,
sy Porata sy Adalia sy Aridata
9 and Parmashta, and Arisai, and Aridai, and Vajezatha,
sy Parmasta sy Arisay sy Ariday ary Vaizata,
10 the ten sons of Haman the son of Hammedatha, the oppressor of the Jews, they slew; but they laid not their hands on the prey.
izy folo lahy, zanak’ i Hamana, zanak’ i Hamedota, fahavalon’ ny Jiosy, dia novonoiny koa; kanefa ny fananany tsy mba norobainy tsy akory.
11 On that day the number of those that were slain in Shushan the fortress was brought before the king.
Androtrizay ihany dia nambara tamin’ ny mpanjaka ny isan’ ny voavono tany Sosana renivohitra.
12 And the king said to Esther the queen, The Jews have slain and destroyed five hundred men in Shushan the fortress, and the ten sons of Haman; what have they done in the rest of the king's provinces? And what is thy petition? and it shall be granted thee; and what is thy request further? and it shall be done.
Ary hoy ny mpanjaka tamin’ i Estera, vadin’ ny mpanjaka: Teto Sosana renivohitra aza ny Jiosy efa nahavono sy naharingana diman-jato lahy mbamin’ izy folo lahy, zanak’ i Hamana; koa nanao ahoana kosa no nataony tamin’ ny isan-tokony eran’ ny fanjakan’ ny mpanjaka! Dia inona koa no angatahinao? Fa hatao izany. Ary inona no mbola tadiavinao? Fa homena izany.
13 And Esther said, If it please the king, let it be granted to the Jews that are in Shushan to do to-morrow also according to this day's decree, and let Haman's ten sons be hanged upon the gallows.
Dia hoy Estera: Raha sitraky ny mpanjaka, dia aoka ny Jiosy izay eto Sesana havela hanao toy ny natao androany ihany koa rahampitso, ary aoka hahantona amin’ ny hazo koa izy folo lahy, zanak’ i Hamana.
14 And the king commanded it so to be done: and the decree was given at Shushan; and they hanged Haman's ten sons.
Dia nasain’ ny mpanjaka natao izany; ary nantsoina tany Sosana ny teny, ka dia nahantona izy folo lahy, zanak’ i Hamana.
15 And the Jews that were in Shushan gathered themselves together on the fourteenth day also of the month Adar, and slew three hundred men at Shushan; but they laid not their hand on the prey.
Dia nivory indray ny Jiosy izay tany Sosana tamin’ ny andro fahefatra ambin’ ny folo tamin’ ny volana Adara ka namono olona telon-jato lahy tany Sosana; kanefa ny fananany tsy mba norobainy tsy akory.
16 And the other Jews that were in the king's provinces gathered themselves together, and stood for their life, and had rest from their enemies; and they slew of them that hated them seventy-five thousand (but they laid not their hand on the prey),
Ary ny Jiosy sasany isan-tokony tamin’ ny fanjakan’ ny mpanjaka dia nivory hiaro ny ainy, ka afaka tamin’ ny fahavalony izy, ary dimy arivo amby fito alina no matiny (kanefa ny fananany tsy mba norobainy)
17 on the thirteenth day of the month Adar; and on the fourteenth of the same they rested, and made it a day of feasting and joy.
tamin’ ny andro fahatelo ambin’ ny folo tamin’ ny volana Adara; ary nitsahatra izy tamin’ ny andro fahefatra ambin’ ny folo, ka nataony ho andro fanasana sy firavoravoana izany.
18 But the Jews that were at Shushan gathered themselves together on the thirteenth [day] thereof, and on the fourteenth thereof; and on the fifteenth of the same they rested, and made it a day of feasting and joy.
Fa ny Jiosy izay tany Sosana kosa nivory tamin’ ny andro fahatelo ambin’ ny folo tamin’ io ihany sy tamin’ ny andro fahefatra ambin’ ny folo koa; ary nitsahatra tamin’ ny andro fahadimy ambin’ ny folo izy, ka dia io no nataony andro fanasana sy firavoravoana.
19 Therefore the Jews of the villages that dwell in the country towns make the fourteenth of the month Adar a day of joy and feasting, and a good day, and on which they send portions one to another.
Koa noho izany ny Jiosy tany ambanivohitra, izay nitoetra tamin’ ny vohitra madinika, dia nanao ny andro fahefatra ambin’ ny folo amin’ ny volana Adara ho firavoravoana sy fanasana sy andro mahafaly ary fifanateran-javatra.
20 And Mordecai wrote these things, and sent letters to all the Jews near and far that were in all the provinces of king Ahasuerus,
Ary Mordekay nanoratra ny amin’ izany zavatra izany sady nampitondra taratasy ho any amin’ ny Jiosy rehetra izay tany amin’ ny isan-tokony eran’ ny fanjakan’ i Ahasoerosy mpanjaka, na ny akaiky na ny lavitra,
21 to establish [this] among them, that they should keep the fourteenth day of the month Adar, and the fifteenth day of the same, yearly,
mba hampitandrina azy ny andro fahefatra ambin’ ny folo sy ny fahadimy ambin’ ny folo amin’ ny volana Adara isan-taona,
22 as the days on which the Jews rested from their enemies, and the month that was turned to them from sorrow to joy, and from mourning into a good day; that they should make them days of feasting and joy, and of sending portions one to another, and gifts to the poor.
dia araka ny andro nahafahan’ ny Jiosy tamin’ ny fahavalony, sy ny volana izay nampodiana ny alahelony ho fifaliana ary ny fitomaniany ho andro mahafaly, mba hatao ho andro fanasana sy fifaliana sy fifanateran-javatra ary fanomezan-javatra ho an’ ny mahantra izany.
23 And the Jews undertook to do as they had begun, and as Mordecai had written to them.
Ary ny Jiosy nanaiky hanao araka izay vao nataony, dia araka izay efa nosoratan’ i Mordekay taminy,
24 For Haman the son of Hammedatha the Agagite, the oppressor of all the Jews, had devised against the Jews to destroy them, and had cast Pur, that is, the lot, to consume them and to destroy them;
satria Hamana, zanak’ i Hamedota Agagita, fahavalon’ ny Jiosy rehetra, efa nihevitra handringana ny Jiosy ka efa nanao pora (filokana izany) handreseny sy handringanany azy;
25 and when [Esther] came before the king, he commanded by letters that his wicked device, which he had devised against the Jews, should return upon his own head; and they hanged him and his sons on the gallows.
fa raha nankeo anatrehan’ ny mpanjaka izany, dia nampanoratra taratasy handidy mba hatsingerina ho eo amin’ ny lohany ihany ny hevi-dratsy nokasain’ i Hamana hatao amin’ ny Jiosy, ary mba hahantona amin’ ny hazo izy sy ny zananilahy.
26 Therefore they called these days Purim after the name of Pur. Therefore, according to all the words of this letter, and for what they had seen concerning this matter and what had happened to them,
Izany no nanaovana ireo andro ireo hoe Porima, dia araka ny anarana hoe Pora. Ary araka ny teny rehetra tamin’ izany taratasy izany sy izay hitany ny amin’ izany zavatra efa nanjo azy izany
27 the Jews ordained and took upon them, and upon their seed, and upon all such as joined themselves to them, so that it should not fail, that they would observe these two days according to their writing and according to their fixed time, every year;
dia nanao lalàna tsy azo ovana ny Jiosy ka nanaiky fa izy sy ny taranany ary izay rehetra miray aminy dia hitandrina izany andro roa izany araka ny voasoratra sy araka ny fotoany isan-taona;
28 and that these days should be remembered and observed throughout every generation, in every family, every province, and every city, and that these days of Purim should not fail from among the Jews, nor the memorial of them cease from among their seed.
ary mba hotsarovana sy hotandremana ireo andro ireo amin’ ny taranany rehetra sy ny fokony rehetra sy ny isan-tokony eran’ ny fanjakana rehetra sy amin’ ny isan-tanàna; ary mba tsy ho tapaka amin’ ny Jiosy ireo andro Porima ireo, ka tsy hitsahatra ny fahatsiarovana izany amin’ ny taranany.
29 And queen Esther the daughter of Abihail, and Mordecai the Jew, wrote with all authority to confirm this second letter of Purim.
Ary Estera, vadin’ ny mpanjaka, sady zanakavavin’ i Abihaila sy Mordekay Jiosy, dia nanoratra tamin’ ny fahefana rehetra hanamafy izany taratasy faharoa milaza ny Porima izany.
30 And he sent letters to all the Jews, to the hundred and twenty-seven provinces of the kingdom of Ahasuerus, words of peace and truth,
Ary nampitondra taratasy ho any amin’ ny Jiosy rehetra izy dia ho any amin’ ny toko fito amby roa-polo amby zato amin’ ny fanjakan’ i Ahasoerosy, manao teny fiadanana sy fahamarinana,
31 to confirm these days of Purim in their fixed times, according as Mordecai the Jew and queen Esther had enjoined them, and as they had decreed for themselves and for their seed, as to the matters of the fastings and their cry.
mba hampitandrina azy Ireo andro Porima ireo amin’ ny fotoany, araka izay nandidian’ i Mordekay Jiosy sy Estera, vadin’ ny mpanjaka, azy sy araka izay efa nekeny ho an’ ny tenany sy ny taranany koa ny amin’ ny fifadian-kaniny sy ny fitarainany.
32 And the decree of Esther confirmed these matters of Purim; and it was written in the book.
Ary ny tenin’ i Estera dia nanamafy izany teny milaza ny Porima izany; ary voasoratra tao amin’ ny boky izany.
