< Esther 3 >

1 After these things did king Ahasuerus promote Haman the son of Hammedatha the Agagite, and advanced him, and set his seat above all the princes that 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, that were in the king's gate, bowed down, and prostrated themselves before Haman; for the king had so commanded concerning him. But Mordecai bowed not down, nor prostrated himself before him.
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, that were in the king's gate, said unto Mordecai: 'Why transgressest thou the king's commandment?'
Bakalaka oyo bazalaki kosala na ndako ya mokonzi batunaki Maridoshe: — Mpo na nini otosaka mitindo ya mokonzi te?
4 Now it came to pass, when they spoke daily unto him, and he hearkened not unto them, that they told Haman, to see whether Mordecai's words would stand; for he had told 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 bowed not down, nor prostrated himself before him, then was Haman full of wrath.
Tango Amani asosolaki ete Maridoshe afukamelaka ye te mpe apesaka ye lokumu te, asilikaki makasi.
6 But it seemed contemptible in his eyes to lay hands on Mordecai alone; for they had made known to him the people of Mordecai; wherefore Haman sought to destroy all the Jews that were throughout the whole kingdom of Ahasuerus, even the people of Mordecai.
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, 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.
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 unto 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; neither keep they the king's laws; therefore it profiteth not the king to suffer them.
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 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 that have the charge of the king's business, to bring it into the king's treasuries.'
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 unto Haman the son of Hammedatha the Agagite, the Jews' enemy.
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 unto Haman: 'The silver is given to thee, the people also, to do with them as it seemeth good to thee.'
Mokonzi alobaki na Amani: — Bomba palata na yo! Sala nyonso oyo olingi epai ya bato yango.
12 Then were the king's scribes called in the first month, on the thirteenth day thereof, and there was written, according to all that Haman commanded, unto the king's satraps, and to the governors that were over every province, and to the princes of every people; to every province according to the writing thereof, and to every people after their language; in the name of king Ahasuerus was it written, and it was sealed 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 posts into all the king's provinces, to destroy, to slay, and to cause to perish, all Jews, both young and old, little children 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.
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 The copy of the writing, to be given out for a decree in every province, was to be published unto all peoples, that they should be ready against that day.
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 posts went forth in haste by the king's commandment, and the decree was given out in Shushan the castle; and the king and Haman sat down to drink; but the city of Shushan was perplexed.
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.
