Esther 4
1 And Mordecai has known all that has been done, and Mordecai tears his garments, and puts on sackcloth and ashes, and goes forth into the midst of the city and cries—a cry loud and bitter,
Ie nirendre’ i Mordekay i nanoeñe rezay, le niriate’ i Mordekay o saro’eo, le nisikin-gony naho lavenoke, le niheo añivo’ i rovay, nampipoña-koaike mafaitse.
2 and he comes to the front of the gate of the king, but none is to come to the gate of the king with a sackcloth-garment.
Nañavelo pak’ an-dalambeim-panjaka eo re, fa tsy eo ty mimoak’ amy lalambeim-panjakay misikin-gony.
3 And in each and every province, the place where the word of the king, even his law, is coming, the Jews have a great mourning, and fasting, and weeping, and lamenting: sackcloth and ashes are spread for many.
Aa ndra fifelehañe aia aia ty nandoaha’ i lily naho tsei’ mpanjakaiy, le akore ty habeim-pirovetañe amo nte-Iehodao, reke-lilitse, fangololoihañe naho fangoihoiañe; vaho maro ty nibabok’ an-gony naho an-davenoke.
4 And young women of Esther come in and her eunuchs, and declare [it] to her, and the queen is exceedingly pained, and sends garments to clothe Mordecai, and to turn aside his sackcloth from off him, and he has not received [them].
Aa le niheo mb’amy Estere mb’eo o mpiatra’eo naho o mpifehe’eo nitalily ama’e. Vata’e nalorè amy zao i mpanjaka-ampelay vaho nampañitrife’e lamba t’i Mordekay, hañafahañe i goni’ey, fe tsy rinambe’e.
5 And Esther calls to Hatach, of the eunuchs of the king, whom he has stationed before her, and gives him a charge for Mordecai, to know what this [is], and why this [is].
Tinoka’ i Estere t’i Hatàke amo mpiatram-panjakao, i tinendre hiatrak’ azey le nafantok’ ama’e ty hiheo mb’ amy Mordekay mb’eo haharendreke t’ie inoñe ndra manao akore.
6 And Hatach goes out to Mordecai, to a broad place of the city, that [is] before the gate of the king,
Aa le nimb’amy Mordekay an-dala’ i rovay aolo’ i lalambeim-panjakay mb’eo t’i Hatàke.
7 and Mordecai declares to him all that has met him, and the explanation of the money that Haman said to weigh to the treasuries of the king for the Jews, to destroy them,
Le nitalilia’ i Mordekay ze fonga nifetsak’ ama’e naho ty drala do’e nampitamae’ i Hamane hondroha’e amo fañajam-baram-panjakao ty amo nte-Iehoda hamongorañeo.
8 and the copy of the writing of the law that had been given in Shushan to destroy them he has given to him, to show Esther, and to declare [it] to her, and to lay a charge on her to go in to the king, to make supplication to him, and to seek from before him, for her people.
Natolo’e aze ka ty dika-mira i taratasin-tsey zinara e Sosane ao hanjamanañe iareoy, hatoro’e amy Estere, hampalangesañe ama’e, hamantohañ’ aze ty homb’ amy mpanjakay, hitoreo fiferenaiñañe, hihalalia’e añatrefa’e eo ondati’eo.
9 And Hatach comes in and declares to Esther the words of Mordecai,
Aa le nimpoly mb’eo t’i Hatàke nitalily amy Estere i enta’ i Mordekaiy.
10 and Esther speaks to Hatach, and charges him for Mordecai:
Le nisaontsie’ i Estere amy Hatàke ty hañitrike o entañe zao amy Mordekay:
11 “All servants of the king, and people of the provinces of the king, know that any man and woman who comes to the king, into the inner court, who is not called—one law of his [is] to put [them] to death, apart from him to whom the king holds out the golden scepter, then he has lived; and I have not been called to come in to the king these thirty days.”
Fohi’ ze hene mpitoro’ i mpanjakay naho ze fonga ondatim-pifeleha’ i mpanjakay, te ndra ia ia, ke lahilahy he rakemba ty miheo mb’amy mpanjakay ankiririsa añate’e ao, ie tsy kinoike, le raik’ avao ty lili’e: havetrake naho tsy itolora’ i mpanjakay i kobaim-bolamenay, hiveloma’e; fe mboe tsy tinoka ho mb’ama’e mb’eo iraho o telo-polo andro zao.
12 And they declare to Mordecai the words of Esther,
Natalili’ iareo amy Mordekay i lañona’ i Estere zay.
13 and Mordecai commands to send back to Esther: “Do not think in your soul to be delivered [in] the house of the king, more than all the Jews,
Aa le nahere’ i Mordekay amy Estere ty hoe: Ko mañarahara te ihe añ’anjomba’ i mpanjakay ty hahapolititse mandikoatse ze nte-Iehoda iaby.
14 but if you keep entirely silent at this time, respite and deliverance remains to the Jews from another place, and you and the house of your fathers are destroyed; and who knows whether for a time like this you have come to the kingdom?”
Aa naho mitsin-drehe henane zao le hiongake an-toetse ila’e ty famotsorañe naho ty fandrombahañe o nte-Iehodào, fe hirotsake irehe naho i anjomban-drae’oy; ia ty mahafohiñe, hera te nitsatok’ amy mahampanjaka azoy t’ie ho añ’andro hoe zao?
15 And Esther commands to send back to Mordecai:
Aa le nampibalike ty hoe amy Mordekay t’i Estere:
16 “Go, gather all the Jews who are found in Shushan, and fast for me, and do not eat nor drink three days, by night and by day; also I and my young women fast likewise, and so I go in to the king, that [is] not according to law, and when I have perished—I have perished.”
Akia, atontono ze hene nte-Iehodà tendreke e Sosane ao, le mililira ho ahy, ko mikama ndra minoñe telo andro, haleñe naho handro; hililitse manahake Izay ka iraho naho o somondrarakoo; Izay vaho hiheo mb’amy mpanjakay mb’eo, ie tsy milahatse amy liliy; fa naho hikenkan-draho le hikenkañe.
17 And Mordecai passes on, and does according to all that Esther has charged on him.
Aa le nienga mb’eo t’i Mordekay, nanao ze hene namantoha’ i Estere.
