Esther 3

1 After - the things these he made great the king Ahasuerus Haman [the] son of Hammedatha the Agagite and he exalted him and he placed seat his above all the officials who [were] with him.

Et, après cela, le roi Artaxerxès glorifia Aman, fils d'Amadathe le Bugéen, et il l'exalta, et il le fit asseoir sur un siège au-dessus de tous ses amis.

2 And all [the] servants of the king who [were] at [the] gate of the king [were] kneeling and bowing down to Haman for thus he had commanded to him the king and Mordecai not he knelt and not he bowed down.

Et tous ceux qui servaient dans le parvis l'adoraient, car ainsi l'avait ordonné le roi; et Mardochée ne se prosternait pas devant lui.

3 And they said [the] servants of the king who [were] at [the] gate of the king to Mordecai why? [are] you transgressing [the] commandment of the king.

Et les serviteurs du parvis dirent à Mardochée: Mardochée, pourquoi désobéis-tu à ce qu'a dit le roi?

4 And it was (just as spoke they *Q(K)*) to him a day and a day and not he listened to them and they told to Haman to see ¿ will they stand [the] words of Mordecai that he had told to them that he [was] a Jew.

Chaque jour ils lui parlaient ainsi, et il ne les écoutait pas; enfin, ils informèrent Aman que Mardochée résistait aux ordres du roi; or, Mardochée leur avait déclaré qu'il était Juif.

5 And he saw Haman that not Mordecai [was] kneeling and bowing down to him and he was filled Haman rage.

Et Aman, en apprenant que Mardochée ne se prosternait pas devant lui, fut fort courroucé.

6 And he despised in view his to stretch out a hand on Mordecai to only him if people had told to him [the] people of Mordecai and he sought Haman to annihilate all the Jews who [were] in all [the] kingdom of Ahasuerus [the] people of Mordecai.

Et il résolut d'effacer tous les Juifs du royaume d'Artaxerxès.

7 In the month first that [is] [the] month of Nisan in year two [plus] ten of the king Ahasuerus someone cast Pur it [is] the lot before Haman from day - to day and from month to month (and it fell the lot on three [plus] ten day of month *X*) two [plus] ten that [is] [the] month of Adar.

Et, en la douzième année du règne d'Artaxerxès, il prépara un édit, et il agita les sorts pour savoir le mois et le jour où il exterminerait en même temps la race de Mardochée, et le sort tomba sur le quatorzième du mois qui est appelé adar.

8 And he said Haman to the king Ahasuerus there it [is] a people one scattered and separated among the peoples in all [the] provinces of kingdom your and laws their [are] differing from every people and [the] laws of the king not they [are] doing and for the king not [is] appropriate to let remain them.

Et il parla au roi disant: Il y a un peuple épars en toutes les provinces de ton royaume; leurs lois diffèrent de toutes les autres lois; ils n'obéissent point à celles du roi; il n'est pas à propos que le roi les laisse subsister.

9 If [is] on the king good let it be written to destroy them and ten thousand talent[s] of silver I will weigh out on [the] hands of [the] doers of the work to bring [it] into [the] treasuries of the king.

S'il plaît au roi, qu'il décrète qu'on les détruise, et moi je ferai rentrer au trésor royal dix mille talents d'argent.

10 And he removed the king signet-ring his from on hand his and he gave it to Haman [the] son of Hammedatha the Agagite [the] opposer of the Jews.

Et le roi ôtant son anneau le remit à Aman pour sceller l'édit contre les Juifs.

11 And he said the king to Haman the silver [is] given to you and the people to do with it according to the good in view your.

Et le roi lui dit: L'argent sera pour toi, fais de ce peuple ce qu'il te plaît.

12 And they were summoned [the] scribes of the king in the month first on thir-teenth day in it and it was written according to all that he commanded Haman to [the] satraps of the king and to the governors who - [were] over province and province and to [the] officials of people and people province and province according to writing its and people and people according to language its in [the] name of the king Ahasuerus [it was] written and [it was] sealed with [the] signet-ring of the king.

Et, le treize du premier mois, les scribes du roi furent convoqués, et ils écrivirent, selon l'ordre d'Aman, aux généraux et aux gouverneurs des cent vingt-sept provinces de l'Inde à l'Éthiopie, et aux chefs des nations chacun en sa langue, de la part du roi Artaxerxès.

13 And they were sent documents by [the] hand of the runners to all [the] provinces of the king to annihilate to kill and to destroy all the Jews from young man and unto old [man] little one[s] and women on a day one on [day] thir-teen of month two [plus] ten that [is] [the] month of Adar and spoil their to take as plunder.

Et des courriers portèrent dans tout le royaume le commandement de détruire en un seul jour, le premier du douzième mois, qui est adar, toute la race des Juifs, et de piller leurs biens.

14 copy of The writing [was] to be given law in every province and province [was] disclosed to all the peoples to be ready for the day this.

Et les copies de ces lettres furent publiées en chaque province, et il fut enjoint à chaque nation de se tenir prête pour le jour indiqué.

15 The runners they went out being hasty at [the] word of the king and the law it was given in Susa the citadel and the king and Haman they sat down to drink and the city of Susa it was in confusion.

On y avait mis de l'empressement à Suse, et le roi et Aman buvaient à pleines coupes; mais la ville était toute troublée.
