Esther 6
1 That night the king was unable to sleep, so he [summoned] a servant [and] told [him] to bring the records of what had happened during all the time he had been king. [So the servant brought the records] and read some of them to the king.
Ary tamin’ iny alina iny tsy nahita torimaso ny mpanjaka ka nampaka ny boky fitadidiana ny tantara; ary novakina teo anatrehan’ ny mpanjaka izany.
2 [The servant read about] Bigthana and Teresh, the two men who had guarded the entrance to the king’s rooms. He read the account of when Mordecai had found out that they planned to assassinate the king [and that he had told the king about it].
Ka, indro, voasoratra fa Mordekay no niampanga an’ i Bigtana sy Taresy, roa lahy isan’ ny tsindranolahin’ i ny mpanjaka, dia ireo mpiambina teo am-baravarana izay nitady hamono an’ i Ahasoerosy mpanjaka.
3 The king asked [some of his servants], “What did we do to reward Mordecai or show that we appreciate what he did?” The servants replied, “We did not do anything for him.”
Ary hoy ny mpanjaka: Inona moa no fisandratana sy voninahitra mba efa nomena an’ i Mordekay noho izany? Fa hoy ny zatovon’ ny mpanjaka Izay nanompo azy: Tsy mbola nisy nomena azy.
4 At that moment, Haman entered the outer courtyard of the palace. He wanted to talk to the king about hanging Mordecai on the gallows that he had [just] set up. The king [saw him and] said, “Who is [that out there] in the courtyard?”
Ary hoy ny mpanjaka: Iza no ao an-kianja ao? Ary Hamana kosa efa sendra tonga tao an-kianja ivelan’ ny tranon’ ny mpanjaka tamin’ izay hiteny amin’ ny mpanjaka ny amin’ ny hanantonana an’ i Mordekay amin’ ilay hazo efa natsangany hanantonana azy.
5 His servants replied, “That is Haman standing there in the courtyard.” The king said, “Bring him in [here]!”
Ka hoy ny zatovon’ ny mpanjaka taminy: Indro, Hamana no mitsangana ao an-kianja. Ary hoy ny mpanjaka: Asaovy miditra izy.
6 When Haman came in, the king asked him, “What should I do for a man whom I want to honor?” Haman thought to himself, “(Whom would the king like to honor more than me?/I think there is no one whom the king would like to honor more than me!)” [RHQ]
Dia niditra Hamana ka hoy ny mpanjaka taminy: Inona no mendrika hatao amin’ izay lehilahy tian’ ny mpanjaka homem-boninahitra? Ary Hamana nanao anakampo hoe: Koa iza indray moa no ho tian’ ny mpanjaka homem-boninahitra afa-tsy izaho?
7 So he replied to the king, “If there is someone you wish to honor,
Ka dia hoy Hamana tamin’ ny mpanjaka: Ny amin’ izay lehilahy tian’ ny mpanjaka homem-boninahitra,
8 you should [tell your servants to] bring him one of the robes you wear [you to show that you are] the king. Also tell them to bring one of the horses you have ridden. Tell them to put a fancy headdress on the horse’s head to show that it belongs to you, the king.
aoka halaina izay akanjo fiandrianana efa niakanjoan’ ny mpanjaka sy soavaly izay efa nitaingenan’ ny mpanjaka sady voaisy satro-boninahitra ny lohany;
9 Then tell one of your very important officials to put the robe on the man whom you want to honor, and tell that man to sit on the horse, and then lead the horse through the city streets. And tell that official to keep shouting, ‘This is what (the king does/is doing) for the man whom he wants to honor!’”
dia aoka izany fitafiana sy soavaly izany no hatolotra eo an-tànan’ ny anankiray izay malaza indrindra amin’ ny mpanapaka voatendrin’ ny mpanjaka, ary aoka izay lehilahy tian’ ny mpanjaka homem-boninahitra no hampiakanjoina izany ka hampitaingenina amin’ ny soavaly, dia ho entina eny an-kalalahana eto an-tanàna, ary aoka hisy hiantso eo alohany hoe: Izao no hatao amin’ ny lehilahy izay tian’ ny mpanjaka homem-boninahitra.
10 The king replied to Haman, “[Fine]! Go and do what you said immediately! Get my robe and my horse, and do just what you suggested! Do it for Mordecai, the Jew, who is sitting [outside] at the gate of the palace. Do not forget anything that you suggested!”
Dia hoy ny mpanjaka tamin’ i Hamana: Faingana ary, alao ny akanjo sy ny soavaly araka ny voalazanao, ka dia ataovy araka izany amin’ i Mordekay Jiosy, izay mipetraka eo am-bavahadin’ ny mpanjaka; aza asiana latsaka izay rehetra nolazainao.
11 So Haman did what the king said. He got the robe and the horse. He put the robe on Mordecai, and as Mordecai sat on the horse, Haman led the horse through the city streets proclaiming “This is what the king (does/is doing) for the man whom the king wants to honor!”
Dia nalain’ i Hamana ny akanjo sy ny soavaly, ka nampiakanjo an’ i Mordekay izy ary nampitaigina azy tamin’ ny soavaly, dia nitondra azy ho eny an-kalalahana teo an-tanàna ka niantso teo alohany hoe: Izao no hatao amin’ ny lehilahy izay tian’ ny mpanjaka homem-boninahitra.
12 Then, Mordecai returned [and sat] at the gate of the palace. But Haman hurried home, covering his face [because he felt] completely disgraced/humiliated.
Ary Mordekay niverina nankeo amin’ ny vavahadin’ ny mpanjaka; fa Hamana kosa nody faingana ho any an-tranony sady nalahelo no nisaron-doha.
13 He told his wife Zeresh and his friends everything that had happened to him that day. Then his wife and his friends said to him, “Mordecai, the man who has caused you to be completely disgraced/humiliated, is a Jew. [It is clear that the God whom the Jews worship is fighting for them.] So you will never be able to defeat Mordecai. He will defeat you!”
Dia nolazain’ i Hamana tamin’ i Zaresy vadiny sy ny sakaizany rehetra izay zavatra nanjo azy. Ary hoy ny olon-kendry rehetra sy Zaresy vadiny taminy: Raha avy amin’ ny taranaky ny Jiosy Mordekay, izay efa niantomboka nandavo anao teo anatrehany, dia tsy haharesy azy mihitsy ianao, fa ho lavo eo anatrehany tokoa.
14 And while they were still talking, some of the king’s officials arrived to take Haman quickly to the banquet/feast that Esther had prepared.
Ary raha mbola niresaka taminy ihany ireo, dia tonga ny tsindranolahin’ ny mpanjaka ka naka faingana an’ i Hamana ho ny amin’ ny fanasana izay efa namboarin’ i Estera.
