Esther 8
1 On that day, did King Ahasuerus give unto Esther the queen, the house of Haman, the adversary of the Jews, —and, Mordecai, came in before the king, for Esther had told, what he was to her.
Tamin’ izany andro izany dia nomen’ i Ahasoerosy mpanjaka ho an’ i Estera, vadin’ ny mpanjaka, ny tranon’ i Hamana, fahavalon’ ny Jiosy. Ary Mordekay nankeo anatrehan’ ny mpanjaka, fa efa voalazan’ i Estera fa rainy izy
2 And the king took off his signet-ring, which he had taken from Haman, and gave it unto Mordecai, —and Esther set Mordecai over the house of Haman.
Ary nesorin’ ny mpanjaka ny peratra fanombohany, izay efa nalainy tamin’ i Hamana, ka nomeny an’ i Mordekay. Ary Mordekay dia notendren’ i Estera hanapaka ny tranon’ i Hamana.
3 Yet again, spake Esther before the king, and fell down at his feet, —and wept and made supplication unto him, to cause the mischief of Haman the Agagite to pass away, even the plot which he had plotted against the Jews.
Dia niteny teo anatrehan’ ny mpanjaka indray Estera sady niankohoka tamin’ ny tongony ka nitomany sy nifona taminy mba hahafoana ny ratsy nataon’ i Hamana Agagita sy ny hevitra nataony hamelezany ny Jiosy.
4 And the king held out unto Esther, the golden sceptre, —so Esther arose, and stood before the king;
Ary ny mpanjaka nanondro an’ i Estera tamin’ ny tehim-bolamena. Dia nitsangana Estera ka nijanona teo anatrehan’ ny mpanjaka
5 and said—If, unto the king, it seem good, and if I have found favour before him, and the thing be approved before the king, and, I myself, be pleasing in his eyes, let it be written, to reverse the letters plotted by Haman, son of Hammedatha, the Agagite, which he wrote to destroy thee Jews, who are in all the provinces of the king.
ary nanao hoe: Raha sitraky ny mpanjaka, ary mahita fitia eto imasony aho, sady ataon’ ny mpanjaka ho mety izany, ka mahita sitraka eto imasony aho, dia aoka hisy soratra hanova ireny taratasy voahevitr’ i Hamana, zanak’ i Hamedota Agagita, ireny izay nosoratany hampandringana ny Jiosy amin’ ny isan-tokony eran’ ny fanjakan’ ny mpanjaka;
6 For how can I endure to see the ruin that shall overtake my people? or how can I endure to see the destruction of my kindred?
fa hataoko ahoana no fijery ny loza hanjo ny fireneko? Ary hataoko ahoana no fijery ny fandringanana ny havako?
7 Then said King Ahasuerus unto Esther the queen, and unto Mordecai the Jew, —Lo! the house of Haman, have I given unto Esther, and, him, have they hanged upon the gallows, because he thrust forth his hand against the Jews.
Dia hoy Ahasoerosy mpanjaka tamin’ i Estera, vadin’ ny mpanjaka sy tamin’ i Mordekay Jiosy: Indro, ny tranon’ i Hamana efa nomeko an’ i Estera, ary izy dia efa nahantona tamin’ ny hazo, satria naninjitra ny tànany hamely ny Jiosy;
8 Ye, therefore, write concerning the Jews as may seem good in your own eyes, in the name of the king, and seal it with the kings signet-ring, —for a writing which hath been written in the king’s name, and sealed with the king’s signet-ring, none can reverse.
ary ianareo kosa dia manorata amin’ ny anaran’ ny mpanjaka izay sitrakareo hamonjy ny Jiosy, ka tombohy amin’ ny peratra fanombohan’ ny mpanjaka izany; fa tsy misy mahavadika ny soratra izay efa voasoratra tamin’ ny anaran’ ny mpanjaka sy efa voatomboka tamin’ ny peratra fanombohan’ ny mpanjaka
9 Then were called the king’s scribes at that time—in the third month, the same, is the month Siwan, on the twenty-third thereof, and it was written according to all that Mordecai commanded unto the Jews, and unto the satraps and pashas and rulers of the provinces, which are from India even unto Ethiopia, a hundred and twenty-seven provinces, every province according to the writing thereof, and every people according to their tongue, —and unto the Jews, according to their writing, and according to their tongue;
Dia nantsoina tamin’ izay ny mpanoratry ny mpanjaka, tamin’ ny andro fahatelo amby roa-polo tamin’ ny volana fahatelo (volana Sivana izany); ary nosoratana araka izay rehetra nandidian’ i Mordekay izany ho any amin’ ny Jiosy sy ny solo-mpanjaka sy ny governora ary ny mpanapaka amin’ ny isan-tokony hatrany India ka hatrany Etiopia, dia fito amby roa-polo amby zato toko, ny isan-tokony araka ny sorany avy, ary ny isam-pireneny araka ny fiteniny avy, ary ny Jiosy araka ny sorany sy araka ny fiteniny.
10 and he wrote in the name of King Ahasuerus, and sealed it with the king’s signet-ring, —and sent letters by the hand of runners on horses, riding the swift steeds used in the kings service, bred of the stud:
Ary nanoratra taratasy tamin’ ny anaran’ i Ahasoerosy mpanjaka izy ka notombohiny tamin’ ny peratra fanombohan’ ny mpanjaka, ary ny taratasy dia nampitondrainy ny tsimandoa mitaingin-tsoavaly sy soavaly haingam-pandeha ary ampondra, zanaky ny soavalivavy;
11 That the king had granted unto the Jews who 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 force of the people and province who should distress them, their little ones and women, —and [to take] the spoil of them as a prey:
ka ny Jiosy izay teny amin’ ny isan-tanàna dia navelan’ ny mpanjaka hivory hiaro ny ainy ary handringana sy hamono ka handripaka ny herin’ ny firenena sy ny tany rehetra izay te-hiady aminy, mbamin’ ny vady aman-janak’ ireny ary handroba ny fananany
12 upon one day, throughout all the provinces of King Ahasuerus, —upon the thirteenth of the twelfth month, the same, is the month Adar:
amin’ ny andro iray ihany any amin’ ny isan-tokony eran’ ny fanjakan’ i Ahasoerosy mpanjaka, dia amin’ ny andro fahatelo ambin’ ny folo amin’ ny volana faharoa ambin’ ny folo (volana Adara izany).
13 A copy of the writing to be given, as an edict, throughout every province, was published to all the peoples, —and that the Jews be ready against that day, to avenge themselves on their enemies.
Ny kopen’ ny teny natao didy ho amin’ ny isan-tokony eran’ ny fanjakana dia nantsoina tamin’ ny olona rehetra mba hampiomana ny Jiosy ho amin’ izany andro izany hamaliany ny fahavalony.
14 The runners that rode on the swift steeds used in the king’s service, went forth, being urged forward and pressed on, by the word of the king, —and, the edict, was given in Shusan the palace.
Dia lasa ny tsimandoa izay nitaingina soavaly haingam-pandeha sy ampondra, ka nohafainganina sy nododonan’ ny tenin’ ny mpanjaka izy. Ary nantsoina tany Sosana renivohitra koa ny lalàna.
15 And, Mordecai, went forth from the presence of the king, in royal apparel, of blue and white, with a large diadem of gold, and a mantle of fine linen and purple, —and, the city Shusan, was bright and joyful.
Ary tamin’ ny nialan’ i Mordekay teo anatrehan’ ny mpanjaka dia niakanjo akanjo fiandrianana manga sy fotsy izy sady nisatroka satro-boninahitra volamena lehibe sy niakanjo akanjo lava rongony fotsy madinika sy volomparasy; ary faly sy ravo ny tanana Sosana.
16 To the Jews, had come light, and joy, —and gladness and honour.
Ny Jiosy dia nahazo fahazavana sy faharavoravoana sy fifaliana ary voninahitra.
17 And, in every province, and in every city, whithersoever the word of the king and his edict did reach, joy and gladness, had the Jews, —a banquet and a happy day, —and, many from among the peoples of the land, were becoming Jews, for the dread of the Jews had fallen upon them.
Ary teo amin’ ny isan-tokony eran’ ny fanjakana sy teny an-tanàna rehetra izay nahatongavan’ ny didin’ ny mpanjaka sy ny teniny dia nahazo hafaliana sy faharavoravoana ny Jiosy sady nanao fanasana sy andro mahafaly. Ary maro ny olona tompon-tany no tonga Jiosy, satria nahazo azy ny fahatahorana ny Jiosy.
