Esther 3
1 Some time later, King Xerxes (promoted/gave his most important job/work to) Haman, the son of Hammedatha, who was a descendant of [King] Agag. Haman became more important than all his other officials. [Only the king was more important.]
Eso enoga, hina bagade Segesisi da dunu ea dio amo Ha: ima: ne amo ea hawa: hamosu gaguia gadole, ea baligisu eagene ouligisu dunu hamoi. Ha: ima: ne da Ha: mida: ida egefe esalu, amola A: iga: ge egaga fi dunu.
2 Then the king commanded that all the other officials had to bow down in front of Haman to honor him [when he walked by]. But Mordecai refused to bow down to Haman.
Hina bagade da eagene ouligisu ilia nodosu Ha: ima: ne ema olelema: ne, ilia muguni bugili amola beguduma: ne, Segesisi ea amane sia: i. Ilia defele hamoi. Be Modigai hi fawane amane hamomu higa: i.
3 The [other] officials [saw that, and they] asked Mordecai, “Why do you disobey what the king commanded?”
Hina bagade ea ouligisu dunu oda ilia ema adole ba: i, e da abuliba: le hina bagade ea hamoma: ne sia: i defele hame hamobela: ?
4 Mordecai told them that he was a Jew, [and that Jews would bow down only to God]. Day after day the other officials spoke to Mordecai about that, but he still refused to obey. So they told Haman about it, to see if Haman would tolerate it.
E da hina bagade ea sia: nabima: ne, ilia mae fisili, gebewane adoleboba: ahoanusu. Be e da ilia sia: hame nabasu. E amane sia: i, “Na da Yu dunu. Na Ha: ima: nema begudumu da hamedei.” Amaiba: le, ilia da Ha: ima: nema adoi. E da Modigai ea hou dawa: beba: le, adi hamoma: beyale ilia dawa: i.
5 When Haman saw that Mordecai would not bow down to him, he became extremely angry.
Modigai da Ha: ima: nema hame muguni bugimu amola hame begudumu amo Ha: ima: ne da nababeba: le, ougi bagade ba: i.
6 [After he found out that Mordecai was a Jew, ] he decided that it would not be enough to get rid of only Mordecai. He decided to kill all the Jews in all the area that Xerxes ruled.
‘Modigai da Yu dunu’ amo Ha: ima: ne da nababeba: le, e da Modigai ema se imunusa: dawa: i. Be Modigai ema fawane hame, be Yu fi dunu huluanedafa Besia fifi asi gala ganodini esalu, e da amo huluane medole legemusa: dawa: i galu.
7 So, during the twelfth year that Xerxes was ruling, during the month of April, [Haman told his advisors to] (cast lots/throw small marked stones) to determine the best month and the best day to kill the Jews. Haman’s advisors did that, and the day that was selected was March 7th [during the following/next year].
Ode fagoyale amola oubi age (amo oubi ea dio da Nisa: ne) hina bagade Segesisi ea ouligilaloba, Ha: ima: ne da sia: beba: le, ilia da Yu dunu adi esoga amola adi oubiga fane legema: bela: le, ululuasu agoai hedei. (amo ululuasu hedesu dio da Biulime) Hedelala ba: loba: , oubi fago (amo oubi ea dio da A: ida) amoga eso 13, amoga Yu dunu medole legemusa: ilegei.
8 Then Haman [went to] the king [and] said to [him], “[Your majesty, ] there is a certain group of people who live in many areas [of your empire] whose customs are different from ours. They even refuse to obey your laws. So it would be good for you to get rid of them.
Amaiba: le, Ha: ima: ne da hina bagade Segesisima amane sia: i, “Fi afae da dia fifi asi gala huluane amo ganodini esalebe ba: sa. Ilia hou da eno fi dunu ilia hou defele hame, be hisu hisu agoane ba: sa. Amola ilia da dia fifi asi gala sema hamoi amoma hame fa: no bobogesa. Amaiba: le, ilia da dia soge ganodini bu esalumu da defea hame galebe.
9 If it pleases you, command that they should all be killed. [If you do that, ] I will give (375 tons/750,000 pounds) of silver to your administrators so that you can use it for your government.”
Hina bagade noga: idafa! Di da hanai galea, amo fi dunu huluane medole legemusa: , sema bagade hamoma. Di amane hamosea, na da dafawane silifa ea dioi defei 340,000 gilougala: me agoane, amo dia muni salasu ganodini salimu, dia fifi asi gala ouligisu hou fidima: ne salimu.”
10 The king liked [what Haman said, so, and to confirm what he decided], he gave the ring that had his official seal on it to Haman, who now hated the Jews.
Hina bagade da ea lobo sogoga gasisalasu, (amoga ilia da ea sia: i liligi dafawane ilegemusa: meloaga dedesu) amo fadegale, Yu dunu ilia ha lai dunu Ha: ima: ne (Ha: mida: ida egefe amola A: iga: ge egaga fifi misi dunu) ema i.
11 The king told Haman, “Keep your money, but do what you want to with those people [whom you talked about]!”
Hina bagade Segesisi da Ha: ima: nema amane sia: i, “Defea! Na da amo fi dunu huluane amola ilia muni, dia hanaiga ilima hamoma: ne dima i dagoi.”
12 On April 17th Haman summoned the king’s secretaries, and he dictated a letter to them that they [translated and] wrote to all the governors and administrators and other officials in all the provinces. They wrote copies of the letter in every language and every kind of writing/alphabet that was used in the empire. They wrote that all the Jews, [including] young people and old people, women and children, had to be killed on one day. That day was March 7th of the following year. They also wrote that [those who killed the Jews] could take everything that belonged to the Jews. [They signed] the king’s name [at the end of] the letters. Then they sealed the letters [with wax, and stamped the wax by] using the king’s ring. Then they sent the letters swiftly to every province in the empire,
Amaiba: le, oubi age amola eso13 amoga, Ha: ima: ne da hina bagade ea sia: dedesu dunu amo ema misa: ne sia: ne, amo sia: (hina bagade ea hamoi liligi) amo dedemusa: sia: i. Ilia da amo sia: hina bagade ea fifi asi gala huluane amola ilia sia: hisu hisu amoga dedene iagagama: ne sia: i. Amo sia: ilia da hina bagade Segesisi ea dioba: le iasi, amola sia: dedei da Segesisi ea lobo sogo gasisalasu amoga, adolegele dedei ba: i.
Sia: adola ahoasu dunu da amo fifi asi gala dunu huluane ilima adola asi. Amo sia: da amane sia: i, “Eso afaega amo oubi fago (A: ida) amola eso 13 amoga, ilia da Yu fi dunu huluane, amola uda amola mano huluanedafa ilia da mae asigili medole lelegele, amola Yu fi dunu ilia liligi lamu sia: i.
14 The king [also commanded that] copies of these letters should be [nailed up] where [all the people] could see them, in every province, so that the people would be ready to do on the day the king had set [what was written in the letter].
Ilia amo sia: amo dunu huluanedafa fifi asi gala huluane amo ganodini nabima: ne, olelema: ne sia: i. Bai amo eso da doaga: sea, dunu huluane da ilia Yu dunu medoma: ne liligi momagei dagoi ba: mu, ilia da hanai.
15 Then, according to what the king commanded, men [riding horses] took those letters quickly to every province [in the empire]. And one of the letters was read [aloud to the people] in the capital city, Susa. Then the king and Haman sat down and drank [wine], but the people in Susa were very perplexed [about why this was going to happen].
Hina bagade Segesisi da sia: beba: le, ilia da Susa moilai bai bagade amo ganodini olelei. Amola sia: adola ahoasu dunu da hina bagade ea fifi asi gala huluane amo adosi. Hina bagade amola Ha: ima: ne ela da fili, waini hano mai. Be Susa moilai bai bagade esalebe dunu huluane da bulila lalu.
