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.
Ie añe, le nonjone’ i Akasverose mpanjaka t’i Hamane ana’ i Hamedatà nte-Agage, le nampilosore’e vaho najado’e ambone’ o roandriañe iaby mpiama’eo ty fiambesa’e.
2 And all the king’s servants, that [were] in the king’s gate, bowed, and reverenced Haman: for the king had so commanded concerning him. But Mordecai bowed not, nor did [him] reverence.
Le hene nidrodrètse naho niambane amy Hamane o mpitorom-panjaka an-dalambeio, ie nililie’ i mpanjakay, fe tsy nibodreke t’i Mordekay, tsy niambane.
3 Then the king’s servants, which [were] in the king’s gate, said unto Mordecai, Why transgressest thou the king’s commandment?
Aa le nanao ty hoe amy Mordekay o mpitorom-panjaka andalambeim-panjakao: Ino ty andilara’o i lilim-panjakay?
4 Now it came to pass, when they spake daily unto him, and he hearkened not unto them, that they told Haman, to see whether Mordecai’s matters would stand: for he had told them that he [was] a Jew.
Nisaontsiañe boak’ andro, f’ie tsy nañaoñe, le nitaroñe’ iereo amy Hamane, hahaoniñañe hera hijadoñe ty saontsi’ i Mordekay; kanao nitalilia’e t’ie nte-Iehoda.
5 And when Haman saw that Mordecai bowed not, nor did him reverence, then was Haman full of wrath.
Aa ie niisa’ i Hamane te tsy niondreke tsy niambane ama’e t’i Mordekay, le nilifom-pifombo t’i Hamane,
6 And he thought scorn to lay hands on Mordecai alone; for they had shewed 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.
fe natao’e ho kede a-maso’e te i Mordekay avao ty hampipaoham-pitàñe; amy te nandrendrehañe aze ondati’ i Mordekaio; aa le ie nipay ty hanjamañe ze fonga nte-Iehodà am-pifehea’ i Akasverose ao; toe ondati’ i Mordekaio.
7 In the first month, that [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], that [is], the month Adar.
Ie am-bolam-baloha’e, am-bolan-kofahofa, an-taom-paha-folo-ro’ ambi’ i Akasverose, le nandafihañe voam-pane; nisikilieñe añatrefa’ i Hamane handro an-kandro naho volañ’ am-bolañe pak’ am-bolam-paha-folo-ro’amby, i volan-kiahiay.
8 And Haman said unto king Ahasuerus, There is a certain people scattered abroad and dispersed among the people in all the provinces of thy kingdom; and their laws [are] diverse from all people; neither keep they the king’s laws: therefore it [is] not for the king’s profit to suffer them.
Le hoe t’i Hamane amy Akasverose Mpanjaka: Eo ty karaza’ ondaty, miparaitsake naho mibarakaik’ am’ ondati’ ze hene fifeleham-pifehea’oo naho aman-dily miambak’ amo lili’ ondaty iabio vaho tsy tana’ iareo o lilim-panjakao; aa le tsy mañeva i mpanjakay te hado’e hitoetse.
9 If it please the king, let it be written that they may be destroyed: and I will pay ten thousand talents of silver to the hands of those that have the charge of the business, to bring [it] into the king’s treasuries.
Aa naho no’ i mpanjakay, ehe te ho sokireñe t’ie ho mongoreñe; le handivako talenta volafoty rai-ale am-pità’ o mpamandrom-panjakao, handesañe am-pañajàm-bara’ i mpanjakay.
10 And the king took his ring from his hand, and gave it unto Haman the son of Hammedatha the Agagite, the Jews’ enemy.
Aa le napitso’ i mpanjakay am-pità’e ty bange’e vaho natolo’e amy Hamane ana’ i Hamedatà nte Agage, rafelahi’ o nte-Iehodao.
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.
Le hoe i mpanjakay amy Hamane: Azo avao i volafotiy naho ondatio, hanoa’o ze atao’o ho soa.
12 Then were the king’s scribes called on the thirteenth day of the first month, and there was written according to all that Haman had commanded unto the king’s lieutenants, and to the governors that [were] over every province, and to the rulers of every people of every province according to the writing thereof, and [to] every people after their language; in the name of king Ahasuerus was it written, and sealed with the king’s ring.
Kinòike amy androm-paha-folo-telo’ ambi’ i volam-baloha’eiy o mpanokim-panjakao, le nanokirañe, ami’ty lili’ i Hamane, o sorotào naho ze hene mpifele-pifelehañe naho ze fonga mpiaolo’ ondaty; sindre faritse amy fisoki’ey naho songa karaza’ ondaty amy saontsi’ey; toe nanokirañe ami’ty tahina’ i Akasverose mpanjaka vaho vinoli-tombo’ ty bange’ i mpanjakay.
13 And the letters were sent by posts into all the king’s provinces, to destroy, to kill, 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.
Nahitrik’ amo hene rovam-pifeleha’ i mpanjakaio ty taratasy: te harotsake, ho zamaneñe naho ho mongoreñe, ze atao nte-Iehoda, ty bey naho ty kede, anak’ ajaja naho rakemba, ami’ty andro raike, ami’ty andro fahafolo-telo’ ambi’ i volam-paha-folo-ro’ambiy, i volan-kiahiay, le ho kopaheñe ty vara’ iareo ho tambe.
14 The copy of the writing for a commandment to be given in every province was published unto all people, that they should be ready against that day.
Le haborak’ amy ze kila ondaty ty hamban-dika’ i sinokitsey, ho tseizeñe amy ze hene fifelehañe, ty hihentseña’ iareo i andro zay.
15 The posts went out, being hastened by the king’s commandment, and the decree was given in Shushan the palace. And the king and Haman sat down to drink; but the city Shushan was perplexed.
Niherereake mb’eo o mpañitrikeo ty amy nafè’ i mpanjakaiy naho zinara an-drova’ i Sosane eo i liliy; vaho niambesatse hikama rano i mpanjakay naho i Hamane; fe nitsiborohetoke ty rova’ i Sosane.
