< Estera 4 >

1 Ie nirendre’ i Mordekay i nanoeñe rezay, le niriate’ i Mordekay o saro’eo, le nisikin-gony naho lavenoke, le niheo añivo’ i rovay, nampipoña-koaike mafaitse.
Now when Mordecai knew all that was done, Mordecai tore his clothes, and put on sackcloth with ashes, and went out into the midst of the city, and cried with a loud and a bitter cry.
2 Nañavelo pak’ an-dalambeim-panjaka eo re, fa tsy eo ty mimoak’ amy lalambeim-panjakay misikin-gony.
And he came even before the king's gate, for none might enter inside the king's gate clothed with sackcloth.
3 Aa ndra fifelehañe aia aia ty nandoaha’ i lily naho tsei’ mpanjakaiy, le akore ty habeim-pirovetañe amo nte-Iehodao, reke-lilitse, fangololoihañe naho fangoihoiañe; vaho maro ty niba­bok’ an-gony naho an-davenoke.
And in every province, wherever the king's commandment and his decree came, there was great mourning among the Jews, and fasting, and weeping, and wailing, and many lay in sackcloth and ashes.
4 Aa le niheo mb’amy Estere mb’eo o mpiatra’eo naho o mpifehe’eo nitalily ama’e. Vata’e nalorè amy zao i mpanjaka-ampelay vaho nampañitrife’e lamba t’i Mordekay, hañafahañe i goni’ey, fe tsy rinambe’e.
And Esther's maidens and her chamberlains came and told it to her. And the queen was exceedingly grieved. And she sent raiment to clothe Mordecai, and to take his sackcloth from off him, but he did not receive it.
5 Tinoka’ i Estere t’i Hatàke amo mpiatram-panjakao, i tinendre hiatrak’ azey le nafantok’ ama’e ty hiheo mb’ amy Mordekay mb’eo haharendreke t’ie inoñe ndra manao akore.
Then Esther called for Hathach, one of the king's chamberlains whom he had appointed to attend upon her, and charged him to go to Mordecai, to know what this was, and why it was.
6 Aa le nimb’amy Mordekay an-dala’ i rovay aolo’ i lalambeim-panjakay mb’eo t’i Hatàke.
So Hathach went forth to Mordecai to the broad place of the city, which was before the king's gate.
7 Le nitalilia’ i Mordekay ze fonga nifetsak’ ama’e naho ty drala do’e nampitamae’ i Hamane hondroha’e amo fañajam-baram-panjakao ty amo nte-Iehoda hamongorañeo.
And Mordecai told him of all that had happened to him, and the exact sum of the money that Haman had promised to pay to the king's treasuries for the Jews to destroy them.
8 Natolo’e aze ka ty dika-mira i taratasin-tsey zinara e Sosane ao hanjamanañe iareoy, hatoro’e amy Estere, hampalangesañe ama’e, hamantohañ’ aze ty homb’ amy mpanjakay, hitoreo fiferenaiñañe, hihalalia’e añatrefa’e eo ondati’eo.
Also he gave him the copy of the writing of the decree that was given out in Shushan to destroy them, to show it to Esther, and to declare it to her, and to charge her that she should go in to the king to make supplication to him, and to make request before him for her people.
9 Aa le nimpoly mb’eo t’i Hatàke nitalily amy Estere i enta’ i Mordekaiy.
And Hathach came and told Esther the words of Mordecai.
10 Le nisaontsie’ i Estere amy Hatàke ty hañitrike o entañe zao amy Mordekay:
Then Esther spoke to Hathach, and gave him a message to Mordecai saying,
11 Fohi’ ze hene mpitoro’ i mpanjakay naho ze fonga ondatim-pifeleha’ i mpanjakay, te ndra ia ia, ke lahilahy he rakemba ty miheo mb’amy mpanjakay ankiririsa añate’e ao, ie tsy kinoike, le raik’ avao ty lili’e: havetrake naho tsy itolora’ i mpanjakay i kobaim-bolamenay, hiveloma’e; fe mboe tsy tinoka ho mb’ama’e mb’eo iraho o telo-polo andro zao.
All the king's servants, and the people of the king's provinces, know, that whoever, whether man or woman, shall come to the king into the inner court, who is not called, there is one law for him, that he be put to death, except those to whom the king shall hold out the golden scepter that he may live. But I have not been called to come in to the king these thirty days.
12 Natalili’ iareo amy Mordekay i lañona’ i Estere zay.
And they told Esther's words to Mordecai.
13 Aa le nahere’ i Mordekay amy Estere ty hoe: Ko mañarahara te ihe añ’anjomba’ i mpanjakay ty hahapolititse mandikoatse ze nte-Iehoda iaby.
Then Mordecai bade them return answer to Esther, Think not with thyself that thou shall escape in the king's house more than all the Jews.
14 Aa naho mitsin-drehe henane zao le hiongake an-toetse ila’e ty famotsorañe naho ty fandrombahañe o nte-Iehodào, fe hirotsake irehe naho i anjomban-drae’oy; ia ty mahafohiñe, hera te nitsatok’ amy mahampanjaka azoy t’ie ho añ’andro hoe zao?
For if thou altogether keep quiet at this time, then relief and deliverance will arise to the Jews from another place, but thou and thy father's house will perish. And who knows whether thou have not come to the kingdom for such a time as this?
15 Aa le nampibalike ty hoe amy Mordekay t’i Estere:
Then Esther bade them return answer to Mordecai,
16 Akia, atontono ze hene nte-Iehodà tendreke e Sosane ao, le mililira ho ahy, ko mikama ndra minoñe telo andro, haleñe naho handro; hililitse manahake Izay ka iraho naho o somondrarakoo; Izay vaho hiheo mb’amy mpanjakay mb’eo, ie tsy milahatse amy liliy; fa naho hikenkan-draho le hikenkañe.
Go, gather together all the Jews that are present in Shushan, and fast ye for me, and neither eat nor drink three days, night or day. I also and my maidens will fast in like manner. And so I will go in to the king, which is not according to the law. And if I perish, I perish.
17 Aa le nienga mb’eo t’i Mordekay, nanao ze hene namantoha’ i Estere.
So Mordecai went his way, and did according to all that Esther had commanded him.
