Esther 3
1 After these things, King Ahasuerus promoted Haman son of Hammedatha the Agagite, and placed his seat of authority above all the officials who were with him.
Ie añe, le nonjone’ i Akasverose mpanjaka t’i Hamane ana’ i Hamedatà nte-Agage, le nampilosore’e vaho najado’e ambone’ o roandriañe iaby mpiama’eo ty fiambesa’e.
2 All the king's servants who were at the king's gate always knelt and prostrated themselves to Haman, as the king had ordered them to do. But Mordecai neither knelt nor prostrated himself.
Le hene nidrodrètse naho niambane amy Hamane o mpitorom-panjaka an-dalambeio, ie nililie’ i mpanjakay, fe tsy nibodreke t’i Mordekay, tsy niambane.
3 Then the king's servants who were at the king's gate said to Mordecai, “Why do you disobey the king's command?”
Aa le nanao ty hoe amy Mordekay o mpitorom-panjaka andalambeim-panjakao: Ino ty andilara’o i lilim-panjakay?
4 They spoke with him day after day, but he refused to comply with their demands. So they spoke with Haman to see if the matter about Mordecai would remain like that, for he had told them that he was a Jew.
Nisaontsiañe boak’ andro, f’ie tsy nañaoñe, le nitaroñe’ iereo amy Hamane, hahaoniñañe hera hijadoñe ty saontsi’ i Mordekay; kanao nitalilia’e t’ie nte-Iehoda.
5 When Haman saw that Mordecai did not kneel and bow down to him, Haman was filled with rage.
Aa ie niisa’ i Hamane te tsy niondreke tsy niambane ama’e t’i Mordekay, le nilifom-pifombo t’i Hamane,
6 He had contempt for the idea of killing only Mordecai, for the king's servants had told him who Mordecai's people were. Haman wanted to exterminate all the Jews, the people of Mordecai, who were in the entire kingdom of Ahasuerus.
fe natao’e ho kede a-maso’e te i Mordekay avao ty hampipaoham-pitàñe; amy te nandrendrehañe aze ondati’ i Mordekaio; aa le ie nipay ty hanjamañe ze fonga nte-Iehodà am-pifehea’ i Akasverose ao; toe ondati’ i Mordekaio.
7 In the first month (which is the month of Nisan), in the twelfth year of King Ahasuerus, the Pur—that is the lot—was thrown before Haman, to select a day and month. They cast the lot over and over until the lot fell on the twelfth month (which is the month of Adar).
Ie am-bolam-baloha’e, am-bolan-kofahofa, an-taom-paha-folo-ro’ ambi’ i Akasverose, le nandafihañe voam-pane; nisikilieñe añatrefa’ i Hamane handro an-kandro naho volañ’ am-bolañe pak’ am-bolam-paha-folo-ro’amby, i volan-kiahiay.
8 Then Haman said to King Ahasuerus, “There is a certain people scattered and distributed among all the provinces of your kingdom. Their laws are different from those of other people, and they do not keep the king's laws, so it is not suitable for the king to let them stay.
Le hoe t’i Hamane amy Akasverose Mpanjaka: Eo ty karaza’ ondaty, miparaitsake naho mibarakaik’ am’ ondati’ ze hene fifeleham-pifehea’oo naho aman-dily miambak’ amo lili’ ondaty iabio vaho tsy tana’ iareo o lilim-panjakao; aa le tsy mañeva i mpanjakay te hado’e hitoetse.
9 If it please the king, give a command to kill them, and I will weigh out ten thousand talents of silver into the hands of those who are in charge of the king's business, for them to put it into the king's treasury.”
Aa naho no’ i mpanjakay, ehe te ho sokireñe t’ie ho mongoreñe; le handivako talenta volafoty rai-ale am-pità’ o mpamandrom-panjakao, handesañe am-pañajàm-bara’ i mpanjakay.
10 Then the king took the signet ring from his hand and gave it to Haman son of Hammedatha the Agagite, the enemy of the Jews.
Aa le napitso’ i mpanjakay am-pità’e ty bange’e vaho natolo’e amy Hamane ana’ i Hamedatà nte Agage, rafelahi’ o nte-Iehodao.
11 The king said to Haman, “I will see that the money is given back to you and your people. You will do with it whatever you wish.”
Le hoe i mpanjakay amy Hamane: Azo avao i volafotiy naho ondatio, hanoa’o ze atao’o ho soa.
12 Then the king's scribes were summoned on the thirteenth day of the first month, and a decree containing all that Haman had commanded was written to the king's provincial governors, those who were over all the provinces, to the governors of all the various peoples, and to the officials of all the people, to every province in their own writing, and to every people in their own language. It was written in the name of King Ahasuerus and was sealed with his ring.
Kinòike amy androm-paha-folo-telo’ ambi’ i volam-baloha’eiy o mpanokim-panjakao, le nanokirañe, ami’ty lili’ i Hamane, o sorotào naho ze hene mpifele-pifelehañe naho ze fonga mpiaolo’ ondaty; sindre faritse amy fisoki’ey naho songa karaza’ ondaty amy saontsi’ey; toe nanokirañe ami’ty tahina’ i Akasverose mpanjaka vaho vinoli-tombo’ ty bange’ i mpanjakay.
13 Documents were hand-delivered by couriers to all the king's provinces, to annihilate, kill, and destroy all Jews, from young to old, children and women, in one day—on the thirteenth day of the twelfth month (which is the month of Adar)—and to plunder their possessions.
Nahitrik’ amo hene rovam-pifeleha’ i mpanjakaio ty taratasy: te harotsake, ho zamaneñe naho ho mongoreñe, ze atao nte-Iehoda, ty bey naho ty kede, anak’ ajaja naho rakemba, ami’ty andro raike, ami’ty andro fahafolo-telo’ ambi’ i volam-paha-folo-ro’ambiy, i volan-kiahiay, le ho kopaheñe ty vara’ iareo ho tambe.
14 A copy of the letter was made law in every province. In every province it was made known to all the people that they should prepare for this day.
Le haborak’ amy ze kila ondaty ty hamban-dika’ i sinokitsey, ho tseizeñe amy ze hene fifelehañe, ty hihentseña’ iareo i andro zay.
15 The couriers went out and hurried to distribute the king's order. The decree was also distributed within the fortress of Susa. The king and Haman sat down to drink, but the city of Susa was in turmoil.
Niherereake mb’eo o mpañitrikeo ty amy nafè’ i mpanjakaiy naho zinara an-drova’ i Sosane eo i liliy; vaho niambesatse hikama rano i mpanjakay naho i Hamane; fe nitsiborohetoke ty rova’ i Sosane.
