Esther 8
1 On that day did the king Ahasuerus give the house of Haman the Jews’ enemy unto Esther the queen. And Mordecai came before the king; for Esther had told what he was unto her.
Amy andro zay ty nanolora’ i Akasverose mpanjaka amy Estere mpanjaka-ampela ty anjomba’ i Hamane rafelahi’ o nte-Iehodao. Le niatreke i mpanjakay t’i Mordekay amy te natoro’ i Estere t’ie inoñe ama’e.
2 And the king took off his ring, which he had taken from Haman, and gave it unto Mordecai. And Esther set Mordecai over the house of Haman.
Aa le nafaha’ i mpanjakay i bange’e nafaha’e amy Hamaney naho natolo’e amy Mordekay vaho najado’ i Estere ho mpifehe’ i anjomba’ i Hamaney t’i Mordekay.
3 And Esther spake yet again before the king, and fell down at his feet, and besought him with tears to put away the mischief of Haman the Agagite, and his device that he had devised against the Jews.
Nisaontsy añatrefa’ i mpanjakay indraike t’i Estere, le nibabok’ am-pandia’e eo naho nihalalia’e an-dranom-pihaino ty hampipoke i fikitroha’ i Hamane nte-Agagey naho i fikililiañe nanoe’e amo nte-Iehodaoy.
4 Then the king held out the golden sceptre toward Esther. So Esther arose, and stood before the king,
Aa le nahiti’ i mpanjakay amy Estere i kobay volamenay. Le nitroatse t’i Estere nijohañe añatrefa’ i mpanjakay.
5 And said, If it please the king, and if I have found favour in his sight, and the thing seem right before the king, and I be pleasing in his eyes, let it be written to reverse the letters devised by Haman the son of Hammedatha the Agagite, which he wrote to destroy the Jews which are in all the king’s provinces:
Le hoe re: Naho no’ i mpanjakay naho nahaoni-pañisohañe ampahaoniña’e naho mahity añatrefa’ i mpanjakay i rahay vaho soa am-pihaino’e eo iraho, le ehe te ho sokireñe ty hamoterañe o taratasy nisafirie’ i Hamane ana’ i Hamedatà nte-Agageo, i sinoki’e hamongorañe ze hene nte-Iehoda amo fifeleha’ i mpanjakaio;
6 For how can I endure to see the evil that shall come unto my people? or how can I endure to see the destruction of my kindred?
amy te aia ty hahafeahako trea ty hankàñe hifetsak’ am’ondatikoo? vaho aia ty hahatantezako isake ty fandrotsahañe o longokoo.
7 Then the king Ahasuerus said unto Esther the queen and to Mordecai the Jew, Behold, I have given Esther the house of Haman, and him they have hanged upon the gallows, because he laid his hand upon the Jews.
Le hoe t’i Akasverose mpanjaka amy Estere mpanjaka-ampela naho amy Mordekay nte-Iehoda: Ingo fa natoloko amy Estere mpanjaka-ampela ty anjomba’ i Hamane, ie fa naradorado amy firadoradoañey, ie nañity fitàñe amo nte-Iehodao.
8 Write ye also for the Jews, as it liketh you, in the king’s name, and seal it with the king’s ring: for the writing which is written in the king’s name, and sealed with the king’s ring, may no man reverse.
Aa le sokiro ka ty amo nte-Iehodao, amy ze tea’o hanoeñe, ami’ty tahina’ i mpanjakay, le voli-tomboho amy bange’ i mpanjakaiy; amy te tsy mete afotetse ze tsey sinokitse ami’ty tahina’ i mpanjakay naho tinombok’ amy bange’ey.
9 Then were the king’s scribes called at that time in the third month, that is, the month Sivan, on the three and twentieth day thereof; and it was written according to all that Mordecai commanded unto the Jews, and to the lieutenants, and the deputies and rulers of the provinces which are from India unto Ethiopia, an hundred twenty and seven provinces, unto every province according to the writing thereof, and unto every people after their language, and to the Jews according to their writing, and according to their language.
Kinoik’ amy zao o mpitan-tsoki’ i mpanjakaio, amy volam-paha-teloy, toe volan-tsakamasay, ty andro faha roapolo-telo’ ambi’e; le ze nandilia’ i Mordekay ro sinokitse amo nte-Iehodao naho amo sorotào naho amo mpifelekeo naho amo roandria’ o fifelehañeoo, mifototse an-Karane añe pake Kose añe, fifelehañe zato-tsi-roapolo-fito’ amby, ho amy ze songa fifelehañe amy fisoki’ey naho ze hene ondaty amy fisaontsi’ey naho ze nte-Iehoda, ami’ty soki’ iareo naho ami’ty fisaontsi’ iareo;
10 And he wrote in the king Ahasuerus’ name, and sealed it with the king’s ring, and sent letters by posts on horseback, and riders on mules, camels, and young dromedaries:
naho nisokireñe amy tahina’ i Akasverose mpanjakay naho tinombo’ iareo amy bangem-panjakay naho nampihitrifeñe añamo mpiningi-tsoavalao naho o mpijoñe an-drameva vaho am-borìke vosi’eo;
11 Wherein the king granted the Jews which were in every city to gather themselves together, and to stand for their life, to destroy, to slay, and to cause to perish, all the power of the people and province that would assault them, both little ones and women, and to take the spoil of them for a prey,
te natolo’ i mpanjakay amo nte-Iehodao amo rova iabio ty hifanontoñe, hijadoñe ho ami’ty fiai’e, handrotsake, hanjamañe naho hamongotse ze haozara’ ondaty ndra fifeheañe miatreatre am’iareo naho amo keleia’ iareoo naho amo roakemba’ iareoo vaho hampikopaheñe ty hanaña’ iareo ho tambe,
12 Upon one day in all the provinces of king Ahasuerus, namely, upon the thirteenth day of the twelfth month, which is the month Adar.
ami’ty andro raike, amo fonga fifeleha’ i Akasveroseo, le i andro faha folo-telo’ ambi’ i volam-paha-folo-ro’ambiy, i volan-kiahiay.
13 The copy of the writing for a commandment to be given in every province was published unto all people, and that the Jews should be ready against that day to avenge themselves on their enemies.
Ty dika-hamba’ i sokitsey le hatolotse ho lily amy ze hene fifelehañe, ho tseizeñe am’ondaty iabio, hampihentseñañe o nte-Iehodao hamalea’ iareo fate o rafelahi’eo.
14 So the posts that rode upon mules and camels went out, being hastened and pressed on by the king’s commandment. And the decree was given at Shushan the palace.
Aa le nionjomb’eo an-tsoavalam-panjaka o mpañitrikeo, nitaentaeñe naho nosiheñe ami’ty nandilia’ i mpanjakay; vaho nitaroñeñe an-drova’ i Sosane ao i liliy.
15 And Mordecai went out from the presence of the king in royal apparel of blue and white, and with a great crown of gold, and with a garment of fine linen and purple: and the city of Shushan rejoiced and was glad.
Aa ie nienga am-piatrefa’ i mpanjakay t’i Mordekay, an-tsarom-panjaka manga naho foty naho sabaka volamena ra’elahy añ’ambone’e eo, an-tsalotse leny matify malòmavo; le nirebeke ty an-drova’ i Sosane vaho nifale.
16 The Jews had light, and gladness, and joy, and honour.
Aa naho o nte Iehodao, fonga hazavañe, hafaleañe, firebehañe, vaho asiñe.
17 And in every province, and in every city, whithersoever the king’s commandment and his decree came, the Jews had joy and gladness, a feast and a good day. And many of the people of the land became Jews; for the fear of the Jews fell upon them.
Le hafaleañe naho firebehañe amy ze fifelehañe iaby naho amy ze hene rova nivotraha’ i lilim-panjakay naho i koi’ey ty amo nte-Iehodao vaho nanao takataka fa andro soa. Maro am’ondati’ i taneio ty niova ho nte-Iehodà; fa nihotrak’ am’iereo ty fañeveñañe amo nte-Iehodao.
