Estera 2
1 Ie añe, naho fa nanintsiñe ty fiforoforoa’ i Akasverose mpanjaka, le nitiahi’e t’i Vastý, i nanoa’ey vaho i nandiliañe azey.
After these things, when the wrath of King Ahashuerosh was appeased, he remembred Vashti, and what she had done, and what was decreed against her.
2 Le hoe o mpitoro’ i mpanjakay niatrak’ azeo: Ehe te ho tsoeheñe ho a i mpanjakay ty somondrara soa vintañe t’ie isaheñe;
And the Kings seruants that ministred vnto him, sayd, Let them seeke for the King beautifull yong virgins,
3 le ehe te hanendre sorotà amo hene fifeleha’ i fifehea’eio i mpanjakay hanontonañe an-drova’ i Sosane atoy, añ’ anjomban-drakemba ao, ambane’ ty lili’ i Hegè, mpiatrak’ i mpanjakay, mpañambeñe o ampelao, ze fonga somondrara tsomerentsereñe ho tolorañe ze paia’e ho ami’ty fihaminañe;
And let the King appoynt officers through all the prouinces of his kingdome, and let them gather all the beautiful yong virgins vnto the palace of Shushan, into the house of the women, vnder the hand of Hege the Kings eunuche, keeper of the women, to giue them their things for purification.
4 vaho ty somondrara tea’ i mpanjakay ty ho mpanjaka-ampela handimbe i Vastý. Nitea’ i mpanjakay i entañey le nanoe’e.
And the mayde that shall please the King, let her reigne in the steade of Vashti. And this pleased the King, and he did so.
5 Teo t’i nte-Iehoda an-drova’ i Sosane ao, i Mordekay, ana’ Iaire, ana’ i Simeý, ana’ i Kise, ana’ i Beniamine ty tahina’e;
In the citie of Shushan, there was a certaine Iewe, whose name was Mordecai the sonne of Iair, the sonne of Shimei, the sonne of Kish a man of Iemini,
6 amo nendeseñe boak’ Ierosalaimeo, o nasese an-drohy nindre am’ Iekonià mpanjaka’ Iehodao, o nasese’ i Nebokadnetsare mpanjaka’ i Bavele mb’eoo.
Which had bene caryed away from Ierusalem with the captiuitie that was caryed away with Ieconiah King of Iudah (whom Nebuchad-nezzar King of Babel had caryed away)
7 Le nibeize’e t’i Hadasae, natao Estere, anak’ ampelan-drahalahin-drae’e; fa bode-rae naho tsy aman-drene naho nisoa vintañe vaho trenotreno’e i somondraray; aa kanao fa nihomake ty rae’e naho i rene’e le rinambe’ i Mordekay re ho anak’ ampela’e.
And he nourished Hadassah, that is Ester, his vncles daughter: for she had neither father nor mother, and the mayde was fayre, and beautifull to looke on: and after the death of her father, and her mother, Mordecai tooke her for his own daughter
8 Aa ie jinanjiñe ty lily naho tsei’ i mpanjakay, le natontoñe an-drova’ i Sosane ao ty somondrara maro ambane’ ty fifehea’ i Hegey; le nampihovaeñe añ’ anjomba’ i mpanjakay, ambane’ i Hegè mpañambeñe o somondrarao, ka t’i Estere.
And when the Kings commandement, and his decree was published, and many maydes were brought together to the palace of Shushan, vnder the hand of Hege, Ester was brought also vnto the Kings house vnder the hande of Hege the keeper of the women.
9 Le nahafale aze i somondraray, le nahaoniña’e tretre, le nitolora’e aniany ze nipaiaeñe amy fañaliova’ey naho o faha’eo vaho ty somondrara fito nañeva boak’ añ’ anjombam-panjaka ao; le nasì’e mb’amy toetse soay re rekets’ i mpiatra’e rey.
And the mayde pleased him, and she founde fauour in his sight: therefore he caused her things for purification to be giuen her speedily, and her state, and seuen comely maides to be giuer her out of the Kings house, and he gaue change to her and to her maydes of the best in the house of the women.
10 Tsy naboa’ i Estere ondati’eo ndra i toñon-droae’ey, fa nafanto’ i Mordekay ama’e te tsy ho volañe’e.
But Ester shewed not her people and her kinred: for Mordecai had charged her, that shee should not tell it.
11 Le nidraidraitse aolon-kiririsan’ anjomban-drakemba eo boak’ andro t’i Mordekay handrendreke i Estere naho ze nanoañe.
Aud Mordecai walked euery day before the court of the womens house, to knowe if Ester did well, and what should be done with her.
12 Nitsatoke ho a o somondrarao te sindre hiheo añatrefa’ i Akasverose mpanjaka eo naho fa heneke ty volañe folo-ro’ amby ty amy lilin-tsomondraray (fa Izay ty nahaheneke o androm-piliovañeo, toe enem-bolañe an-tsolike rame naho enem-bolañe ami’ty mañidè naho o soli-drakemba ila’eo),
And when the course of euery mayd came, to go in to King Ahashuerosh, after that she had bene twelue moneths according to the maner of the women (for so were the dayes of their purifications accomplished, sixe moneths with oyle of myrrhe, and sixe moneths with sweete odours and in the purifying of the women:
13 Zao ty niheova’ ty somondrara mb’amy mpanjakay mb’eo; natolotse aze ndra inoñ’ inoñe paiae’e hindeseñe boak’ amy anjomban-drakembay mb’ amy anjomba’ i mpanjakay mb’eo.
And thus went the maides vnto the King) whatsoeuer she required, was giuen her, to go with her out of the womens house vnto ye kings house.
14 Nizilik’ ao re te hariva, le niavotse mb’añ’ anjomba faharoe’ o roakembao mb’eo te loak’ andro, ho ambane’ ty fifehea’ i Sasgaze, mpiatra’ i mpanjakay, mpañambeñe o sakezao; le tsy niheo mb’amy mpanjakay ka re naho tsy te nitea’e vaho nikanjie’e ami’ty añara’e.
In the euening she went, and on the morow she returned into the second house of the women vnder the hand of Shaashgaz the Kings eunuche, which kept the concubines: shee came in to the King no more, except shee pleased the King, and that she were called by name.
15 Ie nitsatok’ amy Estere, ana’ i Abihaile, rahalahin-drae’ i Mordekay nandrambe aze ho ana’ey, ty himoak’ amy mpanjakay, le tsy ino ty nipaia’e naho tsy ze natoro’ i Hege, mpiatra’ i mpanjakay, mpañamben-droakembay. Le nahaonim-pañisohañe am-pihaino’ ze hene nahaisak’ aze t’i Estere.
Now when the course of Ester the daughter of Abihail the vncle of Mordecai (which had taken her as his owne daughter) came, that shee should go in to the King, she desired nothing, but what Hege the Kings eunuche the keeper of the women sayde: and Ester founde fauour in the sight of all them that looked vpon her.
16 Aa le nasese mb’amy Akasverose mpanjaka mb’añ’ anjombam-panjaka mb’eo amy volam-pahafolo, volam-balasira, taom-pahafitom-pifehea’ey t’i Estere.
So Ester was taken vnto King Ahashuerosh into his house royall in the tenth moneth, which is the moneth Tebeth, in the seuenth yeere of his reigne.
17 Le nikokoa’ i mpanjakay mandikoatse ze somondrara iaby t’i Estere, ie nahaonim-pañisohañe naho fitretrezañe am-pahaisaha’e eo ambone’ o somondrara iabio, aa le nasampe’e an-doha’e eo i sabakam-pifeheañey, le nanoe’e mpanjaka-ampela handimbe i Vastý.
And the King loued Ester aboue all the women, and shee founde grace and fauour in his sight more then all the virgins: so that he set the crowne of the kingdome vpon her head, and made her Queene instead of Vashti.
18 Le nanao betitake, ty takataka’ i Estere, ho a ze hene roandria’e naho mpitoro’e i mpanjakay; le nampitofa’e o fifelehañeo vaho nitolora’e falalàñe mañeva ty vara’ i mpanjakay.
Then the King made a great feast vnto all his princes, and his seruants, which was the feast of Ester, and gaue rest vnto the prouinces, and gaue gifts, according to the power of a King.
19 Ie natontoñe fañindroe’e o somondrarao le niambesatse an-dalambeim-panjaka eo t’i Mordekay.
And whe the virgins were gathered ye second time, then Mordecai sate in the Kings gate.
20 Mbe tsy vinola’ i Estere ty filongoa’e ndra ondati’eo, namantoha’ i Mordekaiy; fa mbe nañorike ty lili’ i Mordekay t’i Estere manahake tamy nañabeiza’ey.
Ester had not yet shewed her kindred nor her people, as Mordecai had charged her: for Ester did after the worde of Mordecai, as when she was nourished with him.
21 Tamy andro rezay, ie niambesatse an-dalambei’ i mpanjakay t’i Mordekay; le niboseke t’i Bigtane naho i Terese, roe amo mpiatra’ i mpanjakaio, mpañambeñe i lalañey, ie nikilily hampipao-pitàñe amy Akasverose mpanjaka.
In those dayes whe Mordecai sate in the Kings gate, two of the Kings eunuches, Bigthan and Teresh, which kept the doore, were wroth, and sought to lay hand on the King Ahashuerosh.
22 Fe nioni’ i Mordekay i kiniay naho natalili’e amy Estere, mpanjaka-ampelay vaho tinaro’ i Estere amy mpanjakay amy tahina’ i Mordekaiy.
And the thing was knowen to Mordecai, and he tolde it vnto Queene Ester, and Ester certified the King thereof in Mordecais name:
23 Ie nitsikaraheñe i kililiy le nirendreke naho songa naradorado an-katae ie roe; vaho nisokireñe am-boken-talily añatrefa’ i mpanjakay ao.
and when inquisition was made, it was found so: therefore they were both hanged on a tree: and it was written in the booke of the Chronicles before the King.
