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.
Rehefa afaka izany zavatra izany, dia nasandratr’ i Ahasoerosy mpanjaka Hamana, zanak’ i Hamedota Agagita, ka nomeny voninahitra, ary ny sezany nataony teo alohan’ ny an’ ny mpanapaka rehetra izay teo aminy.
2 And all the king’s servants, that were in the king’s gate, bowed down, and did reverence to Haman: for the king had so commanded concerning him. But Mordecai bowed not down, nor did him reverence.
Ary ny mpanompon’ ny mpanjaka rehetra izay teo am-bavahadin’ ny mpanjaka dia nandohalika sy niankohoka teo anatrehan’ i Hamana; fa izany no didin’ ny mpanjaka. Fa Mordekay kosa tsy mba nety nandohalika na niankohoka.
3 Then the king’s servants, that were in the king’s gate, said unto Mordecai, Why transgressest thou the king’s commandment?
Dia hoy ny mpanompon’ ny mpanjaka izay teo am-bavahadin’ ny mpanjaka tamin’ i Mordekay: Nahoana ianao no mandika ny didin’ ny mpanjaka?
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.
Nefa na dia niteny taminy isan’ andro aza ireo, dia tsy mba nihaino azy izy, ka nolazain’ Ireo tamin’ i Hamana, mba hizahany na haharitra amin’ ny teniny ihany Mordekay, na tsia; fa efa nilaza tamin’ ireo izy fa Jiosy.
5 And when Haman saw that Mordecai bowed not down, nor did him reverence, then was Haman full of wrath.
Ary rehefa hitan’ i Hamana fa Mordekay tsy mba nety nandohalika na niankohoka teo anatrehany, dia tezitra loatra izy.
6 But 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.
Ary nataon’ i Hamana ho zavatra kely loatra ny haninji-tanana hamely an’ i Mordekay irery ihany (fa efa nambara azy ny firenen’ i Mordekay), ka dia nitady handringana ny Jiosy rehetra eran’ ny fanjakan’ i Ahasoerosy koa izy, dia ny firenen’ i Mordekay.
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.
Tamin’ ny volana voalohany (volana Nisana izany) tamin’ ny taona faharoa ambin’ ny folo nanjakan’ i Ahasoerosy mpanjaka, nisy nanao pora (filokana izany) teo anatrehan’ i Hamana ny amin’ ny isan’ andro isan’ andro sy ny isam-bolana isam-bolana hatramin’ ny volana faharoa ambin’ ny folo (volana Adara izany)
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 is not for the king’s profit to suffer them.
Ary hoy Hamana tamin’ i Ahasoerosy mpanjaka: tsisy firenena iray efa miely sy mihahaka eny amin’ ny firenena samy hafa isan-tokony eran’ ny fanjakanao; ary hafa lalàna noho ny firenena rehetra ireny sady tsy mba mankatò ny lalàn’ ny mpanjaka; ary tsy mendrika amin’ ny mpanjaka ny hamela azy ho eny;
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.
koa raha sitraky ny mpanjaka, aoka hosoratana mba haringana ireny, dia handoa talenta volafotsy iray alina ho eo an-tànan’ ny mpanao raharaha aho ho entina ao an-trano firaketan’ ny mpanjaka.
10 And the king took his ring from his hand, and gave it unto Haman the son of Hammedatha the Agagite, the Jews’ enemy.
Dia nesorin’ ny mpanjaka tamin’ ny tànany ny peratra fanombohany ka nomeny an’ i Hamana, zanak’ i Hamedota Agagita, fahavalon’ ny Jiosy.
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.
Ary hoy ny mpanjaka tamin’ i Hamana: Homena anao ihany ny volafotsy sy ny olona koa hanaovanao azy araka izay sitrakao.
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.
Dia nantsoina ny mpanoratry ny mpanjaka tamin’ ny andro fahatelo ambin’ ny folo tamin’ ny volana voalohany, ka nosoratana izany araka izay rehetra nandidian’ i Hamana ho an’ ny solo-mpanjaka sy ny governora tamin’ ny isan-tokony ary ny mpanapaka ny firenena rehetra, ho any amin’ ny isan-tokony araka ny sorany avy, ary ho amin’ ny isam-pirenena araka ny fiteniny avy; dia tamin’ ny anaran’ i Ahasoerosy mpanjaka no nanoratany azy ka notombohiny tamin’ ny peratra fanombohan’ ny mpanjaka.
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.
Ary ny taratasy dia nampitondrainy ny tsimandoa ho any amin’ ny isan-tokony amin’ ny fanjakan’ ny mpanjaka mba hampandringana sy hampamono ary hampandripaka ny Jiosy rehetra, na tanora na antitra hatramin’ ny zaza amim-behivavy aza, amin’ ny indray andro monja, dia tamin’ ny andro fahatelo ambin’ ny folo tamin’ ny volana faharoa ambin’ ny folo (volana Adara izany), ary handroba ny fananany.
14 A copy of the writing, that the decree should be given out in every province, was published unto all the peoples, that they should be ready against that day.
Ny kopen’ ny teny izay natao didy ho amin’ ny isan-tokony amin’ ny fanjakana dia nisokatra mba ho hitan’ ny olona rehetra hampiomana azy ho amin’ izany andro izany.
15 The posts went forth in haste by the king’s commandment, and the decree was given out in Shushan the palace: and the king and Haman sat down to drink; but the city of Shushan was perplexed.
Dia nivoaka ny tsimandoa, ka nododonan’ ny tenin’ ny mpanjaka; ary nantsoina tany Sosana renivohitra koa ny lalàna. Ary ny mpanjaka sy Hamana nipetraka hisotro; fa ny tao an-tanàna Sosana kosa dia very hevitra.
