Estera 6
1 Ie amy haleñey, niazo ty tsareke i mpanjakay; le linili’e te handesañe i bokem-pamoliliañe o talilioy, le vinaky añatrefa’ i mpanjakay.
But the Lord removed sleep from the king that night: and he told his servant to bring in the books, the registers of daily events, to read to him.
2 Sinokitse te nitaroñe’ i Mordekay i Bigtanà naho i Terese, mpiatra’ i mpanjaka roe mpañamben-dalañe rey, ie nikinia hampipao-tañañ’ amy Akasverose mpanjakay.
And he found the records written concerning Mardochæus, how he had told the king concerning the two chamberlains of the king, when they were keeping guard, and sought to lay hands on Artaxerxes.
3 Hoe i mpanjakay: Aa vaho akore ty niasieñe naho nampionjoneñe i Mordekay ty amy zay? Le hoe o mpitoro’ i mpanjakay niatrak’ azeo: Toe tsy nanoeñe inoñe.
And the king said, What honour or favour have we done to Mardochæus? And the king’s servants said, Thou hast not done anything to him.
4 Le hoe i mpanjakay, Ia ty an-kiririsa ao?—ie amy zao fa nimoak’ an-kiririsa’ alafe’ i anjombam-panjakay t’i Hamane, hisaontsy amy mpanjakay t’ie handradorado i Mordekay amy rafitse abo hinajari’e ho azey.
And while the king was enquiring about the kindness of Mardochæus, behold, Aman [was] in the court. And the king said, Who [is] in the court? Now Aman was come in to speak to the king, that he should hang Mardochæus on the gallows, which he had prepared.
5 Aa hoe o mpitoro’eo tama’e, Ingo, mijohañe an-kiririsa ao t’i Hamane. Le hoe i mpanjakay: Ampihovao.
And the king’s servants said, Behold, Aman stands in the court. And the king said, Call him.
6 Aa le nimoak’ ao t’i Hamane. Le hoe i mpanjakay tama’e, Ino ty hanoañe amy t’indaty tea’ i mpanjakay asiñeñe?—naereñere’ i Hamane: Ia ty ho tea’ i mpanjakay asiñeñe naho tsy izaho? —
And the king said to Aman, What shall I do to the man whom I wish to honour? And Aman said within himself, Whom would the king honour but myself?
7 le hoe t’i Hamane amy mpanjakay: Ty am’ indaty tea’ i mpanjakay asiñeñey,
and he said to the king, As for the man whom the king wishes to honour,
8 le aboake i sarom-panjaka fiombea’ey naho i soavala finingira’ey vaho i sabakam-bolonahetse fiombeañe añambone’e eo;
let the king’s servants bring the robe of fine linen which the king puts on, and the horse on which the king rides,
9 le ampiseseheñe ami’ty raik’ amo roandriam-bei’ i mpanjakaio i saroñe rey naho i soavalay, hampisaroña’e indaty tea’ i mpanjakay asiñeñey naho hampionjoneñe amy soavalay am-pañaveloañe an-dala’ i rovay mb’eo vaho koiheñe aolo’e eo ty hoe: Zao ty hanoañe ondaty tea’ i mpanjakay asiñeñeo.
and let him give [it] to one of the king’s noble friends, and let him array the man whom the king loves; and let him mount him on the horse, and proclaim through the street of the city, saying, Thus shall it be [done] to every man whom the king honours.
10 Aa le hoe i mpanjakay amy Hemane: Malisà arè, rambeso i saroñey naho i soavalay amy sinaontsi’oy le ano amy Mordekay nte-Iehoda mpiambesatse an-dalambeim-panjaka eo Izay; ko apo’o ndra loli’e amy nitaroñe’oy.
Then the king said to Aman, Thou hast well said: so do to Mardochæus the Jew, who waits in the palace, and let not a word of what thou hast spoken be neglected.
11 Aa le rinambe’ i Hamane i saroñey naho i soavalay naho naombe’e amy Mordekay naho nampionjone’e am-pirangàñe i lalan-drovay, nikoik’ aolo’e eo, ty hoe: Zao ty hanoañe t’indaty tea’ i mpanjakay asiñeñe.
So Aman took the robe and the horse, and arrayed Mardochæus, and mounted him on the horse, and went through the street of the city, and proclaimed, saying, Thus shall it be to every man whom the king wishes to honour.
12 Le nimpoly mb’an-dalambeim-panjaka mb’eo t’i Mordekay. Fe nihitrihitry mb’ añ’ anjomba’e mb’eo t’i Hamane niojeoje, nitakon-doha.
And Mardochæus returned to the palace: but Aman went home mourning, and having his head covered.
13 Natalili’ i Hamane amy Zerese vali’ey naho amo rañe’e iabio i fonga nifetsak’ ama’ey. Le hoe ondati’e mahihitseo naho i Zerese vali’ey ama’e: Naho tiri’ Iehoda t’i Mordekay, ihe nafotsak’ aolo’e eo, le tsy hahafitroara’o, fa tsy mete tsy hiridiñe añatrefa’e.
And Aman related the events that had befallen him to Zosara his wife, and to [his] friends: and his friends and his wife said to him, If Mardochæus [be] of the race of the Jews, [and] thou hast begun to be humbled before him, thou wilt assuredly fall, and thou wilt not be able to withstand him, for the living God [is] with him.
14 Ie mbe nisaontsieñe, le pok’eo o mpiatram-panjakao nanaentaeñe i Hamane homb’amy sabadidake nihalankañe’ i Esterey.
While they were yet speaking, the chamberlains arrived, to hasten Aman to the banquet which Esther had prepared.
