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 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 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 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 Aa le nanao ty hoe amy Mordekay o mpitorom-panjaka andalambeim-panjakao: Ino ty andilara’o i lilim-panjakay?
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 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.
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 Aa ie niisa’ i Hamane te tsy niondreke tsy niambane ama’e t’i Mordekay, le nilifom-pifombo t’i Hamane,
And Haman sees that Mordecai is not bowing and doing homage to him, and Haman is full of fury,
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.
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 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—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 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 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 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 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 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 turns aside his signet from off his hand, and gives it to Haman son of Hammedatha the Agagite, adversary 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 says to Haman, “The silver is given to you, and the people, to do with it as [it is] good in your eyes.”
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.
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 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 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 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 law in each and every province is revealed to all the peoples, to be ready for this day.
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 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.
