< Esther 4 >

1 And Mordecai he knew all that it had been done and he tore Mordecai clothes his and he put on sackcloth and ash[es] and he went out in [the] midst of the city and he cried a cry loud and bitter.
Nony fantatr’ i Mordekay izay rehetra efa natao, dia nandriatra ny fitafiany izy ka nitafy lamba fisaonana sady nihosin-davenona, dia nankeo afovoan’ ny tanàna ka nitaraina sy nidradradradra mafy;
2 And he went to before [the] gate of the king for not to go into [the] gate of the king in clothing of sackcloth.
ary tonga teo anoloan’ ny vavahadin’ ny mpanjaka aza izy; nefa tsy nisy nahazo niditra teo amin’ ny vavahadin’ ny mpanjaka, raha nitafy lamba fisaonana.
3 And in every province and province [the] place where [the] word of the king and law his [were] reaching mourning great [belonged] to the Jews and fasting and weeping and wailing sackcloth and ash[es] it was spread as a bed by many [people].
Ary tany amin’ ny isan-tokony tamin’ ny fanjakana rehetra nalehan’ ny tenin’ ny mpanjaka sy ny didiny dia nalahelo mafy ny Jiosy ka nifady hanina sy nitomany ary nidradradradra, sady maro no nandry tamin’ ny lamba fisaonana aman-davenona.
4 (And they came *Q(k)*) [the] maids of Esther and eunuchs her and they told to her and she agonized the queen exceedingly and she sent garments to clothe Mordecai and to remove sackcloth his from on him and not he accepted [them].
Ary niditra ny ankizivavin’ i Estera sy ny tsindranolahiny ka nilaza izany taminy. Dia nalahelo indrindra ny vadin’ ny mpanjaka, ka nampanatitra lamba hitafin’ i Mordekay izy mba hanesorany ny lamba fisaonana taminy; nefa tsy nety nandray izy.
5 And she summoned Esther Hathach one of [the] eunuchs of the king whom he had made stand before her and she commanded him on Mordecai to know what? [was] this and concerning what? [was] this.
Ary Estera niantso an’ i Hatàka, tsindranolahin’ i ny mpanjaka, izay notendreny hanompo azy, ka nampitondra teny azy ho any amin’ i Mordekay, mba hahafantarany izay anton’ izany.
6 And he went out Hathach to Mordecai to [the] open place of the city which [was] before [the] gate of the king.
Dia nivoaka Hatàka nankany amin’ i Mordekay ho eo an-kalalahana eo an-tanàna, dia ilay eo anoloan’ ny vavahadin’ ny mpanjaka;
7 And he told to him Mordecai all that it had happened to him and - [the] exact amount of the silver which he had said Haman to weigh out to [the] treasuries of the king (for the Jews *Q(k)*) to destroy them.
dia nambaran’ i Mordekay taminy izay rehetra efa nanjo azy sy ny isan’ ny vola izay nokasain’ i Hamana haloa ho ao an-trano firaketan’ ny mpanjaka noho ny handringanana ny Jiosy.
8 And copy of [the] writing of the law which it had been given in Susa to annihilate them he gave to him to show Esther and to tell to her and to command to her to go to the king to seek favor to him and to request from to before him on people her.
Ary nomeny azy koa ny kopen’ ny lalàna, izay nantsoina tany Sosana handringanana azy, mba haseho amin’ i Estera hampahafantatra azy izany sy handidy azy hiditra ao amin’ ny mpanjaka mba hifona aminy sy hangataka eo anatrehany ho an’ ny fireneny.
9 And he came Hathach and he told to Esther [the] words of Mordecai.
Ary tonga Hatàka ka nanambara ny tenin’ i Mordekay tamin’ i Estera.
10 And she said Esther to Hathach and she commanded him to Mordecai.
Fa Estera naniraka an’ i Hatàka indray hanao amin’ i Mordekay hoe:
11 All [the] servants of the king and [the] people of [the] provinces of the king [are] knowing that every man and woman who he goes to the king into the court inner who not he is summoned [is] one law his to put to death apart from that he extends to him the king [the] scepter of gold and he will live and I not (I have been summoned *L(abh)*) to go to the king this thirty day[s].
Ny mpanompon’ ny mpanjaka rehetra sy ny olona isan-tokony eran’ ny fanjakany dia samy mahalala fa na iza na iza mankeo amin’ ny mpanjaka ho eo an-kianja anatiny, na lehilahy na vehivavy, nefa tsy nantsoina, dia misy lalàna iray ihany hahafaty azy, afa-tsy izay hotondroin’ ny mpanjaka amin’ ny tehim-bolamena hahavelona azy; ary izaho anefa dia tsy mbola nantsoina hiditra ao amin’ ny mpanjaka intsony telo-polo andro izay.
12 And they told to Mordecai [the] words of Esther.
Dia nolazaina tamin’ i Mordekay ny tenin’ i Estera.
13 And he said Mordecai to bring back to Esther may not you imagine in self your to escape [the] house of the king from all the Jews.
Ary Mordekay nampitondra valiny ho amin’ i Estera hoe: Aza manao anakampo fa ho afaka mihoatra noho ny Jiosy rehetra ianao, saingy ao an-tranon’ ny mpanjaka;
14 That except certainly you will keep quiet at the time this relief and deliverance it will arise for the Jews from a place another and you and [the] house of father your you will perish and who? [is] knowing if for a time like this you have reached the queenhood.
fa raha hangina mihitsy ianao amin’ izao andro izao, dia hisy fahafahana sy famonjena hiseho avy amin’ ny fitoerana hafa ho an’ ny Jiosy, fa ianao sy ny mpianakavin-drainao kosa dia haringana; ary iza no mahalala, fa angamba ho amin’ izao andro izao mihitsy no nanandratana anao ho amin’ ny fanjakana?
15 And she said Esther to bring back to Mordecai.
Dia nampitondra valiny ho any amin’ i Mordekay indray Estera ka nanao hoe:
16 Go gather all the Jews who are found in Susa and fast on me and may not you eat and may not you drink three days night and day also I and maids my I will fast thus and in such I will go to the king which not [is] according to the law and just as I have perished I have perished.
Mandehana ary, vorio ny Jiosy rehetra izay mba ato Sosana ary mifadia hanina noho ny amiko, ka aza mihinana na misotro hateloana na andro na alina; ary izaho sy ny ankizivaviko hifady toy izany koa, ary amin’ izany no hidirako ao amin’ ny mpanjaka, na dia tsy araka ny lalàna aza; koa raha tàhiny maty aho, dia maty.
17 And he passed on Mordecai and he did according to all that she had commanded to him Esther.
Dia lasa Mordekay ka nanao araka izay rehetra nandidian’ i Estera azy.
