< Estera 6 >
1 Ary tamin’ iny alina iny tsy nahita torimaso ny mpanjaka ka nampaka ny boky fitadidiana ny tantara; ary novakina teo anatrehan’ ny mpanjaka izany.
On that night could not the king sleep, and he commanded to bring the book of records of the chronicles; and they were read before the king.
2 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.
And it was found written, that Mordecai had told of Bigthana and Teresh, two of the king’s chamberlains, the keepers of the door, who sought to lay hand on the king Ahasuerus.
3 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.
And the king said, What honour and dignity hath been done to Mordecai for this? Then said the king’s servants that ministered unto him, There is nothing done for him.
4 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.
And the king said, Who [is] in the court? Now Haman was come into the outward court of the king’s house, to speak unto the king to hang Mordecai on the gallows that he had prepared for him.
5 Ka hoy ny zatovon’ ny mpanjaka taminy: Indro, Hamana no mitsangana ao an-kianja. Ary hoy ny mpanjaka: Asaovy miditra izy.
And the king’s servants said unto him, Behold, Haman standeth in the court. And the king said, Let him come in.
6 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?
So Haman came in. And the king said unto him, What shall be done unto the man whom the king delighteth to honour? Now Haman thought in his heart, To whom would the king delight to do honour more than to myself?
7 Ka dia hoy Hamana tamin’ ny mpanjaka: Ny amin’ izay lehilahy tian’ ny mpanjaka homem-boninahitra,
And Haman answered the king, For the man whom the king delighteth to honour,
8 aoka halaina izay akanjo fiandrianana efa niakanjoan’ ny mpanjaka sy soavaly izay efa nitaingenan’ ny mpanjaka sady voaisy satro-boninahitra ny lohany;
Let the royal apparel be brought which the king [useth] to wear, and the horse that the king rideth upon, and the crown royal which is set upon his head:
9 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.
And let this apparel and horse be delivered to the hand of one of the king’s most noble princes, that they may array the man [withal] whom the king delighteth to honour, and bring him on horseback through the street of the city, and proclaim before him, Thus shall it be done to the man whom the king delighteth to honour.
10 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.
Then the king said to Haman, Make haste, [and] take the apparel and the horse, as thou hast said, and do even so to Mordecai the Jew, that sitteth at the king’s gate: let nothing fail of all that thou hast spoken.
11 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.
Then took Haman the apparel and the horse, and arrayed Mordecai, and brought him on horseback through the street of the city, and proclaimed before him, Thus shall it be done unto the man whom the king delighteth to honour.
12 Ary Mordekay niverina nankeo amin’ ny vavahadin’ ny mpanjaka; fa Hamana kosa nody faingana ho any an-tranony sady nalahelo no nisaron-doha.
And Mordecai came again to the king’s gate. But Haman hasted to his house mourning, and having his head covered.
13 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.
And Haman told Zeresh his wife and all his friends every [thing] that had befallen him. Then said his wise men and Zeresh his wife unto him, If Mordecai [be] of the seed of the Jews, before whom thou hast begun to fall, thou shalt not prevail against him, but shalt surely fall before him.
14 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.
And while they [were] yet talking with him, came the king’s chamberlains, and hasted to bring Haman unto the banquet that Esther had prepared.
