Estera 3
1 Rehefa afaka izany zavatra izany, dia nasandratr’ i Ahasoerosy mpanjaka Hamana, zanak’ i Hamedota Agagita, ka nomeny voninahitra, ary ny sezany nataony teo alohan’ ny an’ ny mpanapaka rehetra izay teo aminy.
After these things has King Ahasuerus exalted Haman son of Hammedatha the Agagite, and lifts him up, and sets his throne above all the heads who [are] with him,
2 Ary ny mpanompon’ ny mpanjaka rehetra izay teo am-bavahadin’ ny mpanjaka dia nandohalika sy niankohoka teo anatrehan’ i Hamana; fa izany no didin’ ny mpanjaka. Fa Mordekay kosa tsy mba nety nandohalika na niankohoka.
and all servants of the king, who [are] in the gate of the king, are bowing and doing homage to Haman, for so the king has commanded for him; and Mordecai does not bow nor pay respect.
3 Dia hoy ny mpanompon’ ny mpanjaka izay teo am-bavahadin’ ny mpanjaka tamin’ i Mordekay: Nahoana ianao no mandika ny didin’ ny mpanjaka?
And the servants of the king, who [are] in the gate of the king, say to Mordecai, “Why [are] you transgressing the command of the king?”
4 Nefa na dia niteny taminy isan’ andro aza ireo, dia tsy mba nihaino azy izy, ka nolazain’ Ireo tamin’ i Hamana, mba hizahany na haharitra amin’ ny teniny ihany Mordekay, na tsia; fa efa nilaza tamin’ ireo izy fa Jiosy.
And it comes to pass, in their speaking to him, day by day, and he has not listened to them, that they declare [it] to Haman, to see whether the words of Mordecai stand, for he has declared to them that he [is] a Jew.
5 Ary rehefa hitan’ i Hamana fa Mordekay tsy mba nety nandohalika na niankohoka teo anatrehany, dia tezitra loatra izy.
And Haman sees that Mordecai is not bowing and doing homage to him, and Haman is full of fury,
6 Ary nataon’ i Hamana ho zavatra kely loatra ny haninji-tanana hamely an’ i Mordekay irery ihany (fa efa nambara azy ny firenen’ i Mordekay), ka dia nitady handringana ny Jiosy rehetra eran’ ny fanjakan’ i Ahasoerosy koa izy, dia ny firenen’ i Mordekay.
and it is contemptible in his eyes to put forth a hand on Mordecai by himself, for they have declared to him the people of Mordecai, and Haman seeks to destroy all the Jews who [are] in all the kingdom of Ahasuerus—the people of Mordecai.
7 Tamin’ ny volana voalohany (volana Nisana izany) tamin’ ny taona faharoa ambin’ ny folo nanjakan’ i Ahasoerosy mpanjaka, nisy nanao pora (filokana izany) teo anatrehan’ i Hamana ny amin’ ny isan’ andro isan’ andro sy ny isam-bolana isam-bolana hatramin’ ny volana faharoa ambin’ ny folo (volana Adara izany)
In the first month—it [is] the month of Nisan—in the twelfth year of King Ahasuerus, has one caused to fall Pur (that [is] the lot) before Haman, from day to day, and from month to month, [to] the twelfth, it [is] the month of Adar.
8 Ary hoy Hamana tamin’ i Ahasoerosy mpanjaka: tsisy firenena iray efa miely sy mihahaka eny amin’ ny firenena samy hafa isan-tokony eran’ ny fanjakanao; ary hafa lalàna noho ny firenena rehetra ireny sady tsy mba mankatò ny lalàn’ ny mpanjaka; ary tsy mendrika amin’ ny mpanjaka ny hamela azy ho eny;
And Haman says to King Ahasuerus, “There is one people scattered and separated among the peoples, in all provinces of your kingdom, and their laws [are] diverse from all people, and the laws of the king they are not doing, and for the king it is not profitable to permit them;
9 koa raha sitraky ny mpanjaka, aoka hosoratana mba haringana ireny, dia handoa talenta volafotsy iray alina ho eo an-tànan’ ny mpanao raharaha aho ho entina ao an-trano firaketan’ ny mpanjaka.
if to the king [it be] good, let it be written to destroy them, and ten thousand talents of silver I weigh into the hands of those doing the work, to bring [it] into the treasuries of the king.”
10 Dia nesorin’ ny mpanjaka tamin’ ny tànany ny peratra fanombohany ka nomeny an’ i Hamana, zanak’ i Hamedota Agagita, fahavalon’ ny Jiosy.
And the king turns aside his signet from off his hand, and gives it to Haman son of Hammedatha the Agagite, adversary of the Jews;
11 Ary hoy ny mpanjaka tamin’ i Hamana: Homena anao ihany ny volafotsy sy ny olona koa hanaovanao azy araka izay sitrakao.
and the king says to Haman, “The silver is given to you, and the people, to do with it as [it is] good in your eyes.”
12 Dia nantsoina ny mpanoratry ny mpanjaka tamin’ ny andro fahatelo ambin’ ny folo tamin’ ny volana voalohany, ka nosoratana izany araka izay rehetra nandidian’ i Hamana ho an’ ny solo-mpanjaka sy ny governora tamin’ ny isan-tokony ary ny mpanapaka ny firenena rehetra, ho any amin’ ny isan-tokony araka ny sorany avy, ary ho amin’ ny isam-pirenena araka ny fiteniny avy; dia tamin’ ny anaran’ i Ahasoerosy mpanjaka no nanoratany azy ka notombohiny tamin’ ny peratra fanombohan’ ny mpanjaka.
And scribes of the king are called, on the first month, on the thirteenth day of it, and it is written according to all that Haman has commanded, to lieutenants of the king, and to the governors who [are] over province and province, and to the heads of people and people, province and province, according to its writing, and people and people according to its tongue, in the name of King Ahasuerus it has been written and sealed with the signet of the king,
13 Ary ny taratasy dia nampitondrainy ny tsimandoa ho any amin’ ny isan-tokony amin’ ny fanjakan’ ny mpanjaka mba hampandringana sy hampamono ary hampandripaka ny Jiosy rehetra, na tanora na antitra hatramin’ ny zaza amim-behivavy aza, amin’ ny indray andro monja, dia tamin’ ny andro fahatelo ambin’ ny folo tamin’ ny volana faharoa ambin’ ny folo (volana Adara izany), ary handroba ny fananany.
and letters to be sent by the hand of the runners to all provinces of the king, to cut off, to slay, and to destroy all the Jews, from young even to old, infant and women, on one day, on the thirteenth of the twelfth month—it [is] the month of Adar—and to seize their spoil,
14 Ny kopen’ ny teny izay natao didy ho amin’ ny isan-tokony amin’ ny fanjakana dia nisokatra mba ho hitan’ ny olona rehetra hampiomana azy ho amin’ izany andro izany.
a copy of the writing to be made law in each and every province is revealed to all the peoples, to be ready for this day.
15 Dia nivoaka ny tsimandoa, ka nododonan’ ny tenin’ ny mpanjaka; ary nantsoina tany Sosana renivohitra koa ny lalàna. Ary ny mpanjaka sy Hamana nipetraka hisotro; fa ny tao an-tanàna Sosana kosa dia very hevitra.
The runners have gone forth, hurried by the word of the king, and the law has been given in Shushan the palace, and the king and Haman have sat down to drink, and the city Shushan is perplexed.
