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 King Achashyerosh promoted Haman the son of Hammedatha the Agagite, and advanced him, and set his seat above all the officials 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.
All the king's servants who were in the King's Gate bowed down, and paid homage to Haman; for the king had so commanded concerning him. But Mordecai did not bow down or pay him homage.
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 Gate, said to Mordecai, "Why do you disobey the king's commandment?"
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 it came to pass, when they spoke daily to him, and he did not listen to them, that they told Haman, to see whether Mordecai's reason would stand; for he had told 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,
When Haman saw that Mordecai did not bow down, nor pay him homage, 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 he scorned the thought of laying hands on Mordecai alone, for they had made known to him Mordecai's people. Therefore Haman sought to destroy all the Jews who were throughout the whole kingdom of Achashyerosh, even Mordecai's people.
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, which is the month Nisan, in the twelfth year of King Achashyerosh, they cast Pur (that is, the lot) before Haman from day to day, and from month to month, and chose the twelfth month, which is 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.
Haman said to King Achashyerosh, "There is a certain people scattered abroad and dispersed among the peoples in all the provinces of your kingdom, and their laws are different than other people's. They do not keep the king's laws. Therefore it is not for the king's profit to allow them to remain.
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 pleases the king, let it be written that they be destroyed; and I will pay ten thousand talents of silver into the hands of those who are in charge of the king's business, to bring it into the king's treasuries."
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.
The king took his ring from his hand, and gave it to Haman the son of Hammedatha the Agagite, the Jews' enemy.
11 Le hoe i mpanjakay amy Hamane: Azo avao i volafotiy naho ondatio, hanoa’o ze atao’o ho soa.
The king said to Haman, "The silver is given to you, the people also, to do with them as it seems good 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 the king's scribes were called in on the first month, on the thirteenth day of the month; and all that Haman commanded was written to the king's satraps, and to the governors who were over every province, and to the officials of every people, to every province according its writing, and to every people in their language. It was written in the name of King Achashyerosh, and it was sealed 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.
Letters were sent by couriers into all the king's provinces, to destroy, to kill, and to cause to perish, all Jews, both young and old, little children and women, in one day, even on the thirteenth day of the twelfth month, which is the month Adar, and to plunder their possessions.
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 letter, that the decree should be given out in every province, was published to all the peoples, that they should be ready against that 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 couriers went forth in haste by the king's commandment, and the decree was given out in the citadel of Shushan. The king and Haman sat down to drink; but the city of Shushan was perplexed.
