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.
That night the king passed without sleep, and he commanded the histories and chronicles of former times to be brought him. And when they were reading them before 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.
They came to that place where it was written, how Mardochai had discovered the treason of Bagathan and Thares the eunuchs, who sought to kill king Assuerus.
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 when the king heard this, he said: What honour and reward hath Mardochai received for this fidelity? His servants and ministers said to him: He hath received no reward at all.
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 the king said immediately: Who is in the court? for Aman was coming in to the inner court of the king’s house, to speak to the king, that he might order Mardochai to be hanged upon the gibbet which was prepared for him.
5 Aa hoe o mpitoro’eo tama’e, Ingo, mijohañe an-kiririsa ao t’i Hamane. Le hoe i mpanjakay: Ampihovao.
The servants answered: Aman standeth in the court, and the king said: Let him come in.
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 when he was come in, he said to him: What ought to be done to the man whom the king is desirous to honour? But Aman thinking in his heart, and supposing that the king would honour no other but himself,
7 le hoe t’i Hamane amy mpanjakay: Ty am’ indaty tea’ i mpanjakay asiñeñey,
Answered: The man whom the king desireth to honour,
8 le aboake i sarom-panjaka fiombea’ey naho i soavala finingira’ey vaho i sabakam-bolonahetse fiombeañe añambone’e eo;
Ought to be clothed with the king’s apparel, and to be set upon the horse that the king rideth upon, and to have the royal crown upon his head,
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 the first of the king’s princes and nobles hold his horse, and going through the street of the city, proclaim before him and say: Thus shall he be honoured, whom the king hath a mind to honour.
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.
And the king said to him: Make haste and take the robe and the horse, and do as thou hast spoken to Mardochai the Jew, who sitteth before the gates of the palace. Beware thou pass over any of those things which thou hast spoken.
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 arraying Mardochai in the street of the city, and setting him on the horse, went before him, and proclaimed: This honour is he worthy of, whom the king hath a mind 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.
But Mardochai returned to the palace gate: and Aman made haste to go to his house, 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 he told Zares his wife, and his friends, all that had befallen him. And the wise men whom he had in counsel, and his wife answered him: If Mardochai be of the seed of the Jews, before whom thou hast begun to fall, thou canst not resist him, but thou shalt fall in his sight.
14 Ie mbe nisaontsieñe, le pok’eo o mpiatram-panjakao nanaentaeñe i Hamane homb’amy sabadidake nihalankañe’ i Esterey.
As they were yet speaking, the king’s eunuchs came, and compelled him to go quickly to the banquet which the queen had prepared.
