Estera 3
1 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.
After these things, by the order of the king, Haman, the son of Hammedatha the Agagite, was lifted up and given a position of honour and a higher place than all the other captains who were with him.
2 Le hene nidrodrètse naho niambane amy Hamane o mpitorom-panjaka an-dalambeio, ie nililie’ i mpanjakay, fe tsy nibodreke t’i Mordekay, tsy niambane.
And all the king's servants who were in the king's house went down to the earth before Haman and gave him honour: for so the king had given orders. But Mordecai did not go down before him or give him honour.
3 Aa le nanao ty hoe amy Mordekay o mpitorom-panjaka andalambeim-panjakao: Ino ty andilara’o i lilim-panjakay?
Then the king's servants who were in the king's house said to Mordecai, Why do you go against the king's order?
4 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.
Now when they had said this to him day after day and he gave no attention, they let Haman have news of it, to see if Mordecai's behaviour would be overlooked: for he had said to them that he was a Jew.
5 Aa ie niisa’ i Hamane te tsy niondreke tsy niambane ama’e t’i Mordekay, le nilifom-pifombo t’i Hamane,
And when Haman saw that Mordecai did not go down before him and give him honour, Haman was full of wrath.
6 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.
But it was not enough for him to make an attack on Mordecai only; for they had made clear to him who Mordecai's people were; so Haman made it his purpose to put an end to all the Jews, even Mordecai's people, through all the kingdom of Ahasuerus.
7 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.
In the first month, the month Nisan, in the twelfth year of King Ahasuerus, from day to day and from month to month they went on looking for a sign given by Pur (that is chance) before Haman, till the sign came out for the thirteenth day of the twelfth month, the month Adar.
8 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.
And Haman said to King Ahasuerus, There is a certain nation living here and there in small groups among the people in all the divisions of your kingdom; their laws are different from those of any other nation, and they do not keep the king's laws: for this reason it is not right for the king to let them be.
9 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.
If it is the king's pleasure, let a statement ordering their destruction be put in writing: and I will give to those responsible for the king's business, ten thousand talents of silver for the king's store-house.
10 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.
And the king took his ring from his hand and gave it to Haman, the son of Hammedatha the Agagite, the hater of the Jews.
11 Le hoe i mpanjakay amy Hamane: Azo avao i volafotiy naho ondatio, hanoa’o ze atao’o ho soa.
And the king said to Haman, The money is yours, and the people, to do with them whatever seems right to you.
12 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.
Then on the thirteenth day of the first month, the king's scribes were sent for, and they put in writing Haman's orders to all the king's captains and the rulers of every division of his kingdom and the chiefs of every people: for every division of the kingdom in the writing commonly used there, and to every people in the language which was theirs; it was signed in the name of King Ahasuerus and stamped with the king's ring.
13 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.
And letters were sent by the runners into every division of the kingdom ordering the death and destruction of all Jews, young and old, little children and women, on the same day, even the thirteenth day of the twelfth month, the month Adar, and the taking of all their goods by force.
14 Le haborak’ amy ze kila ondaty ty hamban-dika’ i sinokitsey, ho tseizeñe amy ze hene fifelehañe, ty hihentseña’ iareo i andro zay.
A copy of the writing, to be made public in every part of the kingdom, was sent out to all the peoples, so that they might be ready when that day came.
15 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.
The runners went out quickly by the king's order, and a public statement was made in Shushan: and the king and Haman took wine together: but the town of Shushan was troubled.
