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.
これらの事の後、アハシュエロス王はアガグびとハンメダタの子ハマンを重んじ、これを昇進させて、自分と共にいるすべての大臣たちの上にその席を定めさせた。
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.
王の門の内にいる王の侍臣たちは皆ひざまずいてハマンに敬礼した。これは王が彼についてこうすることを命じたからである。しかしモルデカイはひざまずかず、また敬礼しなかった。
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.
そこで王の門にいる王の侍臣たちはモルデカイにむかって、「あなたはどうして王の命令にそむくのか」と言った。
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.
彼らは毎日モルデカイにこう言うけれども聞きいれなかったので、その事がゆるされるかどうかを見ようと、これをハマンに告げた。なぜならモルデカイはすでに自分のユダヤ人であることを彼らに語ったからである。
5 And he saw Haman that not Mordecai [was] kneeling and bowing down to him and he was filled Haman rage.
ハマンはモルデカイのひざまずかず、また自分に敬礼しないのを見て怒りに満たされたが、
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.
ただモルデカイだけを殺すことを潔しとしなかった。彼らがモルデカイの属する民をハマンに知らせたので、ハマンはアハシュエロスの国のうちにいるすべてのユダヤ人、すなわちモルデカイの属する民をことごとく滅ぼそうと図った。
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.
アハシュエロス王の第十二年の正月すなわちニサンの月に、ハマンの前で、十二月すなわちアダルの月まで、一日一日のため、一月一月のために、プルすなわちくじを投げさせた。
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.
そしてハマンはアハシュエロス王に言った、「お国の各州にいる諸民のうちに、散らされて、別れ別れになっている一つの民がいます。その法律は他のすべての民のものと異なり、また彼らは王の法律を守りません。それゆえ彼らを許しておくことは王のためになりません。
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.
もし王がよしとされるならば、彼らを滅ぼせと詔をお書きください。そうすればわたしは王の事をつかさどる者たちの手に銀一万タラントを量りわたして、王の金庫に入れさせましょう」。
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.
そこで王は手から指輪をはずし、アガグびとハンメダタの子で、ユダヤ人の敵であるハマンにわたした。
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.
そして王はハマンに言った、「その銀はあなたに与える。その民もまたあなたに与えるから、よいと思うようにしなさい」。
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.
そこで正月の十三日に王の書記官が召し集められ、王の総督、各州の知事および諸民のつかさたちにハマンが命じたことをことごとく書きしるした。すなわち各州に送るものにはその文字を用い、諸民に送るものにはその言語を用い、おのおのアハシュエロス王の名をもってそれを書き、王の指輪をもってそれに印を押した。
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.
そして急使をもってその書を王の諸州に送り、十二月すなわちアダルの月の十三日に、一日のうちにすべてのユダヤ人を、若い者、老いた者、子供、女の別なく、ことごとく滅ぼし、殺し、絶やし、かつその貨財を奪い取れと命じた。
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.
この文書の写しを詔として各州に伝え、すべての民に公示して、その日のために備えさせようとした。
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.
急使は王の命令により急いで出ていった。この詔は首都スサで発布された。時に王とハマンは座して酒を飲んでいたが、スサの都はあわて惑った。
