Estera 9
1 Ie amy volam-paha-folo-ro’ ambiy, i volan-kiahiay, amy andro fahafolo-telo’ ambiy, ie fa hanoeñe ty lily naho tsei’ i mpanjakay, amy andro nampitaman-drafelahin-te-Iehoda t’ie hiambotrake—fe nifotetse i rahay, fa nanandily amo nalaiñe iareoo o nte-Iehodao;
Now in the twelfth month, that is, the month Adar, on the thirteenth day of the same, when the king’s commandment and his decree drew near to be put in execution, in the day that the enemies of the Jews hoped to have power over them, (though it was turned to the contrary, that the Jews had rule over them that hated them; )
2 le nifandrimboñe amo rova’ iareoo, amo fifeleha’ i Akasverose mpanjakao iabio o nte-Iehodao, hampipao-pitàñe amy ze nipay hijoy iareo; fe tsy teo ty nahafitroatse am’iereo; fa nihotrak’ am’ondaty iabio ty fañeveñañe am’iareo.
The Jews gathered themselves together in their cities throughout all the provinces of the king Ahasuerus, to lay hand on such as sought their hurt: and no man could withstand them; for the fear of them fell on all people.
3 Le nañolotse o nte-Iehodao ze hene beim-pifelehañeo naho o sorotào naho o mpifelekeo vaho ze nitoloñe amy mpanjakay iaby; ie fa nidoiñe am’ iereo ty fihembañañe i Mordekay.
And all the rulers of the provinces, and the lieutenants, and the deputies, and officers of the king, helped the Jews; because the fear of Mordecai fell on them.
4 Fa ra’elahy añanjomba’ i mpanjakay t’i Mordekay, le fa nanitsike ze hene fifelehañe ty enge’e; fa nitoabotoabotse erike indaty Mordekay zay.
For Mordecai was great in the king’s house, and his fame went out throughout all the provinces: for this man Mordecai waxed greater and greater.
5 Fonga linihi’ o nte-Iehodao an-kabokabom-pibara o rafelahi’eo, reke-pizamanañe naho fandrotsahañe, le nanoe’ iereo ze tea’e amo nalaiñe iareoo.
Thus the Jews smote all their enemies with the stroke of the sword, and slaughter, and destruction, and did what they would to those that hated them.
6 Linafa naho navetra’ o nte-Iehodao an-drova’ i Sosane ao ty lahilahy liman-jato.
And in Shushan the palace the Jews slew and destroyed five hundred men.
7 Le zinama’ iareo t’i Parsandatà naho i Dalfone naho i Aspatà
And Parshandatha, and Dalphon, and Aspatha,
8 naho i Poratà naho i Adalià naho i Aridatà,
And Poratha, and Adalia, and Aridatha,
9 naho i Parmastà naho i Arisay naho i Ariday vaho i Vajezatà,
And Parmashta, and Arisai, and Aridai, and Vajezatha,
10 ana-dahi’ folo’ i Hamane ana’ i Hamedatà, rafelahi’ o nte-Iehodaoy; fe tsy pinaom-pità’ iareo o vara’eo.
The ten sons of Haman the son of Hammedatha, the enemy of the Jews, slew they; but on the spoil laid they not their hand.
11 Nasese amy mpanjakay ty ia’ o linihiñe an-drova’ i Sosane ao tañ’andro zaio.
On that day the number of those that were slain in Shushan the palace was brought before the king.
12 Le hoe i mpanjakay amy Estere mpanjaka-ampela: Fa nanjevoñe naho namongotse lahilahy liman-jato an-drova’ i Sosane ao naho i ana-dahi’ i Hamane folo rey o nte-Iehodao; inoñ’ arè ty nanoe’ iareo amy hene fifeleha’ i mpanjakay ila’e rey! Aa ndra ino ty halali’o, le hatolotse azo vaho ndra ino ty hàta’o mandikoatse zao, le hanoeñe.
And the king said to Esther the queen, The Jews have slain and destroyed five hundred men in Shushan the palace, and the ten sons of Haman; what have they done in the rest of the king’s provinces? now what is your petition? and it shall be granted you: or what is your request further? and it shall be done.
13 Aa le hoe t’i Estere: Naho no’ i mpanjakay, le atoloro amo nte-Iehodao e Sosane etoa ty hanoe’ iereo hamaray ka hambañe amy kinoike ami’ty andro toiy, le haradorado amo firadoradoañeo i ana-dahi’ i Hamane folo rey.
Then said Esther, If it please the king, let it be granted to the Jews which are in Shushan to do to morrow also according to this day’s decree, and let Haman’s ten sons be hanged on the gallows.
14 Le linili’i mpanjakay t’ie hanoeñe; naho nikoiheñe e Sosane ao ty tsey; vaho naradorado i ana-dahi’ i Hamane folo rey.
And the king commanded it so to be done: and the decree was given at Shushan; and they hanged Haman’s ten sons.
15 Aa le nifandrimboñe amy andro fahafolo-efats’ ambi’ i volan-kiahiay ka o lahilahy nte-Iehodà e Sosaneo vaho nanjamañe lahilahy telonjato e Sosane ao, fa tsy pinaom-pità’ iareo i fikopahañey.
For the Jews that were in Shushan gathered themselves together on the fourteenth day also of the month Adar, and slew three hundred men at Shushan; but on the prey they laid not their hand.
16 Le nifandrimboñe ka o nte-Iehoda ila’e amo fifeleha’ i mpanjakaio naho nijadoñe hañaro-piaiñe naho nahazo fitofàñe amo rafelahio vaho linihi’ iereo ty fito-ale-tsi-lime-arivo amo mpalaiñe iareoo—fe tsy nipaohem-pitàñe o fikopakeo—
But the other Jews that were in the king’s provinces gathered themselves together, and stood for their lives, and had rest from their enemies, and slew of their foes seventy and five thousand, but they laid not their hands on the prey,
17 amy andro faha folo-telo’ ambim-bolan-kiahiay, le nitofa amy andro faha folo-efats’ambiy iereo vaho nanoe’ iareo andron-tsabadidake naho firebehañe.
On the thirteenth day of the month Adar; and on the fourteenth day of the same rested they, and made it a day of feasting and gladness.
18 Fe nifandrimboñe amy andro faha folo-telo’ambiy o nte-Iehoda e Sosaneo naho amy andro faha folo-efats’ ambiy vaho nitofa amy andro fahafolo-lim’ambiy, le nanoe’ iereo andron-tsabadidake naho firebehañe.
But the Jews that were at Shushan assembled together on the thirteenth day thereof, and on the fourteenth thereof; and on the fifteenth day of the same they rested, and made it a day of feasting and gladness.
19 Aa le fanoe’ o nte-Iehodà an-tanàñeo, o mpimoneñe an-drova tsy aman-kijolio, ami’ ty andro faha folo-efats’ambi’ i volan-kiahiay ty andron-kafaleañe naho sabadidake; andro fanjaka naho andro fifañitrifan-dravoravo.
Therefore the Jews of the villages, that dwelled in the unwalled towns, made the fourteenth day of the month Adar a day of gladness and feasting, and a good day, and of sending portions one to another.
20 Aa le nisokira’ i Mordekay naho nampañitrife’e taratasy ze hene nte-Iehoda amo fonga fifeleha’ i Akasverose mpanjakao, ty marine naho ty lavitse,
And Mordecai wrote these things, and sent letters to all the Jews that were in all the provinces of the king Ahasuerus, both near and far,
21 nandily te hambenañe boa-taoñe ty andro faha folo-efats’ ambi’ i volan-kiahiay naho i andro fahafolo-lim’ ambi’ey;
To establish this among them, that they should keep the fourteenth day of the month Adar, and the fifteenth day of the same, yearly,
22 i andro nahazoa’ o nte-Iehodao fitofàñe amo rafelahi’eoy, le nafotetse ho volan-kafaleañe ho a iereo i ho nivolam-pandalañey, ty hontoke ho andro fanjàka; t’ie hanoe’ iareo andron-tsabadidake naho fifaleañe; fifañitrifañe ravoravo naho fanoloram-palalàñe amo rarakeo.
As the days wherein the Jews rested from their enemies, and the month which was turned to them from sorrow to joy, and from mourning into a good day: that they should make them days of feasting and joy, and of sending portions one to another, and gifts to the poor.
23 Aa le rinambe’ o nte-Iehodao ty hanao i niorota’ iareoy naho i nanokira’ i Mordekay am’ iereoy;
And the Jews undertook to do as they had begun, and as Mordecai had written to them;
24 amy te nikitrok’ amo nte-Iehodao t’i Hamane ana’ i Hamedatà nte-Agage, rafelahi’ ze kila nte-Iehoda, hamongora’e, ie nampijòm-boam-pane hisikilia’e, hampiantoa’e, hanjamana’e;
Because Haman the son of Hammedatha, the Agagite, the enemy of all the Jews, had devised against the Jews to destroy them, and had cast Pur, that is, the lot, to consume them, and to destroy them;
25 fe naho niatrefe’e i mpanjakay, le linili’e an-taratasy te hafotetse ami’ ty añambone’e i fikitrohan-drati’e amo nte-Iehodaoy vaho naradorado am-piradoradoañe ey, ie naho i ana-dahi’e rey.
But when Esther came before the king, he commanded by letters that his wicked device, which he devised against the Jews, should return on his own head, and that he and his sons should be hanged on the gallows.
26 Aa le nitokave’ iareo Porime i andro rey ty ami’ty hoe Pore. Aa le ze hene entañe an-taratasy toy naho ze nizoe’ iereo ty ama’e vaho ze nioza’ am’ iereo,
Why they called these days Purim after the name of Pur. Therefore for all the words of this letter, and of that which they had seen concerning this matter, and which had come to them,
27 ty nitroara’ o nte-Iehodao naho rinambe’ iareo ho am-bata’e naho ho amo tarira’ iareoo naho amy ze hirekets’ am’ iereo, t’ie tsy hapòke fa ho tana’ iareo i andro roe rey ty amy sinokitse ama’ey, amy andro namantañañey, boa-tao-boa-taoñe;
The Jews ordained, and took on them, and on their seed, and on all such as joined themselves to them, so as it should not fail, that they would keep these two days according to their writing, and according to their appointed time every year;
28 naho te ho tiahieñe naho ambenañe amo hene tariratseo naho amy ze hene hasavereñañe naho fifelehañe vaho rova, te tsy hipok’ amo nte-Iehodao i andro Porime rey naho tsy ho modo an-taminga’ iareo ty fitiahiañe iareo.
And that these days should be remembered and kept throughout every generation, every family, every province, and every city; and that these days of Purim should not fail from among the Jews, nor the memorial of them perish from their seed.
29 Le sinoki’ i Estere mpanjaka-ampela, ana’ i Abihaile naho i Mordekay nte-Iehoda, an-dili-jadoñe hamenteañe i taratasy faharoe’ i Porimey.
Then Esther the queen, the daughter of Abihail, and Mordecai the Jew, wrote with all authority, to confirm this second letter of Purim.
30 Le nampihitrife’e amo hene nte-Iehoda am-pifeleha’ i Akasverose, zato-tsi-roapolo-fito’ ambio; an-tsaontsim-panintsiñañe naho to,
And he sent the letters to all the Jews, to the hundred twenty and seven provinces of the kingdom of Ahasuerus, with words of peace and truth,
31 hañatò i androm-Porime rey añ’andro nifotoañeñe, i tinendre’ i Mordekay nte-Iehoday naho i Estere mpanjaka-ampelaiy, manahake i nikoiha’ iareo ho am-bata’ iareo naho ho amo tarira’eo ty amy fililirañey naho i fitoreova’ iareoy.
To confirm these days of Purim in their times appointed, according as Mordecai the Jew and Esther the queen had enjoined them, and as they had decreed for themselves and for their seed, the matters of the fastings and their cry.
32 Aa le nampijadoñe o raham-Porimeo ty lili’ i Estere; vaho pinatetse amy bokey.
And the decree of Esther confirmed these matters of Purim; and it was written in the book.
