< Esther 3 >
1 After these things King Achashyerosh promoted Haman the son of Hammedatha the Agagite, and advanced him, and set his seat above all the officials who 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 All the king's servants who were in the King's Gate bowed down, and paid homage to Haman; for the king had so commanded concerning him. But Mordecai did not bow down or pay him homage.
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, who were in the King's Gate, said to Mordecai, "Why do you disobey 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 to him, and he did not listen to them, that they told Haman, to see whether Mordecai's reason 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 When Haman saw that Mordecai did not bow down, nor pay him homage, Haman was full of wrath.
Tango Amani asosolaki ete Maridoshe afukamelaka ye te mpe apesaka ye lokumu te, asilikaki makasi.
6 But he scorned the thought of laying hands on Mordecai alone, for they had made known to him Mordecai's people. Therefore Haman sought to destroy all the Jews who were throughout the whole kingdom of Achashyerosh, even Mordecai's people.
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 Achashyerosh, they cast Pur (that is, the lot) before Haman from day to day, and from month to month, and chose 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 Haman said to King Achashyerosh, "There is a certain people scattered abroad and dispersed among the peoples in all the provinces of your kingdom, and their laws are different than other people's. They do not keep the king's laws. Therefore it is not for the king's profit to allow them to remain.
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 pleases the king, let it be written that they be destroyed; and I will pay ten thousand talents of silver into the hands of those who are in 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 The king took his ring from his hand, and gave it to 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 The king said to Haman, "The silver is given to you, the people also, to do with them as it seems good to you."
Mokonzi alobaki na Amani: — Bomba palata na yo! Sala nyonso oyo olingi epai ya bato yango.
12 Then the king's scribes were called in on the first month, on the thirteenth day of the month; and all that Haman commanded was written to the king's satraps, and to the governors who were over every province, and to the officials of every people, to every province according its writing, and to every people in their language. It was written in the name of King Achashyerosh, 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 Letters were sent by couriers 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 on the thirteenth day of the twelfth month, which is the month Adar, and to plunder their possessions.
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 A copy of the letter, that the decree should be given out in every province, was published to all the 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 couriers went forth in haste by the king's commandment, and the decree was given out in the citadel of Shushan. 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.
