Esther 4
1 When Mordecai perceived all that was done, Mordecai tore his clothes, and put on sackcloth with ashes, and went out into the midst of the city, and cried with a loud and a bitter cry;
Ie nirendre’ i Mordekay i nanoeñe rezay, le niriate’ i Mordekay o saro’eo, le nisikin-gony naho lavenoke, le niheo añivo’ i rovay, nampipoña-koaike mafaitse.
2 And came even before the king’s gate: for none might enter into the king’s gate clothed with sackcloth.
Nañavelo pak’ an-dalambeim-panjaka eo re, fa tsy eo ty mimoak’ amy lalambeim-panjakay misikin-gony.
3 And in every province, wherever the king’s commandment and his decree came, there was great mourning among the Jews, and fasting, and weeping, and wailing; and many lay in sackcloth and ashes.
Aa ndra fifelehañe aia aia ty nandoaha’ i lily naho tsei’ mpanjakaiy, le akore ty habeim-pirovetañe amo nte-Iehodao, reke-lilitse, fangololoihañe naho fangoihoiañe; vaho maro ty nibabok’ an-gony naho an-davenoke.
4 So Esther’s maids and her chamberlains came and told it to her. Then was the queen exceedingly grieved; and she sent raiment to clothe Mordecai, and to take away his sackcloth from him: but he accepted it not.
Aa le niheo mb’amy Estere mb’eo o mpiatra’eo naho o mpifehe’eo nitalily ama’e. Vata’e nalorè amy zao i mpanjaka-ampelay vaho nampañitrife’e lamba t’i Mordekay, hañafahañe i goni’ey, fe tsy rinambe’e.
5 Then called Esther for Hatach, one of the king’s chamberlains, whom he had appointed to attend upon her, and gave him a commandment to Mordecai, to learn what it was, and why it was.
Tinoka’ i Estere t’i Hatàke amo mpiatram-panjakao, i tinendre hiatrak’ azey le nafantok’ ama’e ty hiheo mb’ amy Mordekay mb’eo haharendreke t’ie inoñe ndra manao akore.
6 So Hatach went forth to Mordecai to the street of the city, which was before the king’s gate.
Aa le nimb’amy Mordekay an-dala’ i rovay aolo’ i lalambeim-panjakay mb’eo t’i Hatàke.
7 And Mordecai told him all that had happened to him, and of the sum of the money that Haman had promised to pay to the king’s treasuries for the Jews, to destroy them.
Le nitalilia’ i Mordekay ze fonga nifetsak’ ama’e naho ty drala do’e nampitamae’ i Hamane hondroha’e amo fañajam-baram-panjakao ty amo nte-Iehoda hamongorañeo.
8 Also he gave him the copy of the writing of the decree that was given at Shushan to destroy them, to show it to Esther, and to tell it to her, and to charge her that she should go in to the king, to make supplication to him, and to make request before him for her people.
Natolo’e aze ka ty dika-mira i taratasin-tsey zinara e Sosane ao hanjamanañe iareoy, hatoro’e amy Estere, hampalangesañe ama’e, hamantohañ’ aze ty homb’ amy mpanjakay, hitoreo fiferenaiñañe, hihalalia’e añatrefa’e eo ondati’eo.
9 And Hatach came and told Esther the words of Mordecai.
Aa le nimpoly mb’eo t’i Hatàke nitalily amy Estere i enta’ i Mordekaiy.
10 Again Esther spoke to Hatach, and gave him commandment to Mordecai;
Le nisaontsie’ i Estere amy Hatàke ty hañitrike o entañe zao amy Mordekay:
11 All the king’s servants, and the people of the king’s provinces, do know, that whoever, whether man or woman, shall come to the king into the inner court, who is not called, there is one law of his to put him to death, except him to whom the king shall hold out the golden sceptre, that he may live: but I have not been called to come in to the king these thirty days.
Fohi’ ze hene mpitoro’ i mpanjakay naho ze fonga ondatim-pifeleha’ i mpanjakay, te ndra ia ia, ke lahilahy he rakemba ty miheo mb’amy mpanjakay ankiririsa añate’e ao, ie tsy kinoike, le raik’ avao ty lili’e: havetrake naho tsy itolora’ i mpanjakay i kobaim-bolamenay, hiveloma’e; fe mboe tsy tinoka ho mb’ama’e mb’eo iraho o telo-polo andro zao.
12 And they told to Mordecai Esther’s words.
Natalili’ iareo amy Mordekay i lañona’ i Estere zay.
13 Then Mordecai commanded to answer Esther, Think not with thyself that thou shalt escape in the king’s house, more than all the Jews.
Aa le nahere’ i Mordekay amy Estere ty hoe: Ko mañarahara te ihe añ’anjomba’ i mpanjakay ty hahapolititse mandikoatse ze nte-Iehoda iaby.
14 For if thou shalt altogether hold thy peace at this time, then shall there relief and deliverance arise to the Jews from another place; but thou and thy father’s house shall be destroyed: and who knoweth whether thou hast come to the kingdom for such a time as this?
Aa naho mitsin-drehe henane zao le hiongake an-toetse ila’e ty famotsorañe naho ty fandrombahañe o nte-Iehodào, fe hirotsake irehe naho i anjomban-drae’oy; ia ty mahafohiñe, hera te nitsatok’ amy mahampanjaka azoy t’ie ho añ’andro hoe zao?
15 Then Esther told them return Mordecai this answer,
Aa le nampibalike ty hoe amy Mordekay t’i Estere:
16 Go, gather all the Jews that are present in Shushan, and fast ye for me, and neither eat nor drink three days, night or day: I also and my maidens will fast likewise; and so will I go in to the king, which is not according to the law: and if I perish, I perish.
Akia, atontono ze hene nte-Iehodà tendreke e Sosane ao, le mililira ho ahy, ko mikama ndra minoñe telo andro, haleñe naho handro; hililitse manahake Izay ka iraho naho o somondrarakoo; Izay vaho hiheo mb’amy mpanjakay mb’eo, ie tsy milahatse amy liliy; fa naho hikenkan-draho le hikenkañe.
17 So Mordecai went his way, and did according to all that Esther had commanded him.
Aa le nienga mb’eo t’i Mordekay, nanao ze hene namantoha’ i Estere.
