एस्तर 3
1 यी कुरापछि राजा अहासूरसले अगागी हम्मदाताका छोरा हामानलाई बढुवा गरे, र तिनीसित भएका सबै अधिकारीभन्दा तिनको अधिकारको पद माथि राखिदिए ।
After these events did king Achashverosh make great Haman the son of Hammedatha the Agagite, and he advanced him; and he placed his seat above that of all the princes that were with him.
2 राजाको ढोकामा भएका सबै सेवकले हामानको सामु घुँडा टेक्नु र लम्पसार परेर दण्डवत् गर्नु भन्ने आदेश राजाबाट भएको थियो । तर मोर्दकैले न घँडा टेके, न लम्पसार परे ।
And all the king's servants, that were in the king's gate, bent the knee and prostrated themselves to Haman; for so had the king commanded concerning him; but Mordecai bent not the knee nor prostrated himself.
3 तब राजाको ढोकामा बस्ने राजाका सेवकहरूले मोर्दकैलाई भने, “राजाको आज्ञालाई तपाईं किन अटेर गर्नुहुन्छ?”
Then said the king's, servants, who were in the king's gate, unto Mordecai, Why transgressest thou the king's command?
4 तिनीहरूले दिनप्रतिदिन तिनीसित उही कुरा गरे तापनि तिनले उनीहरूका इच्छाको बेवास्ता गरे । त्यसैले मोर्दकैको बारेमा त्यस्तै रहन्छ कि रहँदैन भनी तिनीहरूले त्यो कुरा हामानलाई बताए किनकि मोर्दकै यहूदी थिए भनी उनले तिनीहरूलाई भनेका थिए ।
Now it came to pass, when they spoke unto him day by day, and he hearkened not unto them, that they told it to Haman, to see whether the words of Mordecai would be able to stand; for he had told them that be was a Jew.
5 हामानको सामु मोर्दकैले घुँडा नटेकेको र ननिहुरेको कुरा जब हामानले देखे, तब तिनी रिसले चूर भए ।
And when Haman saw that Mordecai bent not the knee, nor prostrated himself to him, Haman became full of fury.
6 मोर्दकैलाई मात्र मार्नुपर्छ भन्ने विचारलाई तिनले टेरेनन् किनकि मोर्दकैका मानिसहरू को थिए भनी राजाका सेवकहरूले तिनलाई बताएका थिए । हामानले अहासूरसको सम्पूर्ण राज्यमा भएका सारा यहूदी अर्थात् मोर्दकैको जातिलाई सखाप पार्न चाहन्थे ।
But it appeared too contemptible in his eyes to lay his hand on Mordecai alone: for they had told him of the people of Mordecai: therefore Haman sought to destroy all the Jews that were throughout all the kingdom of Achashverosh, the people of Mordecai.
7 राजा अहासूरसको बाह्रौँ वर्षको पहिलो महिनामा (जुन नीसान महिना हो) दिन र महिनाको छनोट गर्न हामानको सामु पुर अर्थात् चिट्ठा हालियो । चिट्ठा बाह्रौँ महिनामा (जुन अदार महिना हो) नपरेसम्म तिनीहरूले चिट्ठा हालिरहे ।
In the first month, that is the month Nissan, in the twelfth year of king Achashverosh, some one cast the Pur, that is, the lot, before Haman from day to day, and from month [to month], to the twelfth month, which is the month Adar.
8 तब हामानले राजा अहासूरसलाई भने, “एउटा कोही मानिसहरू छन् जुन हजुरको राज्यका सारा प्रान्तभिर छरिएर रहेका छन् । तिनीहरूको व्यवस्था अरू मानिसहरूको भन्दा फरक छ, र तिनीहरूले राजाको व्यवस्था पालन गर्दैनन् । त्यसैले तिनीहरूलाई छोडिदिनु राजाको लागि उचित होइन ।
Then said Haman unto king Achashverosh, There is one people scattered yet separate among the nations in all the provinces of thy kingdom; and their laws are different from those of every people; while they do not execute the laws of the king; and it is no profit for the king to tolerate them.
9 राजालाई खुसी लागेमा तिनीहरूलाई मार्ने आदेश दिनुहोस्, र यो काम गर्ने राजाका कर्मचारीहरूका निम्ति म राजकोषमा जम्मा गर्न तिन लाख किलो चाँदी दिनेछु ।”
If it be pleasing to the king, let [a decree] be written to destroy them; and ten thousand talents of silver will I weigh out into the hands of those that have the charge of the business, to bring [the same] into the king's treasuries.
10 तब राजाले आफ्नो हातबाट छाप-औँठी निकाले र यहूदीहरूका शत्रु अगागी हम्मदाताका छोरा हामानलाई त्यो दिए ।
And the king drew his signet-ring from off his hand, and gave it unto Haman the son of Hammedatha the Agagite, the adversary of the Jews.
11 राजाले हामानलाई भने, “तिमी र तिम्रा मानिसहरूलाई रुपियाँ-पैसा फिर्ता दिइएको म हेर्नेछु । तिमीलाई इच्छा छ त्यही त्यसले गर ।”
And the king said unto Haman, The silver is given to thee, that people also, to do therewith as it seemeth good in thy eyes.
12 तब पहिलो महिनाको तेह्रौँ दिनमा राजाका सचिवहरूलाई बोलाइयो, र हामानको आदेश समावेश गर्ने गरी एउटा उर्दी लेखेर राजा प्रान्तीय गभर्नरहरू, सबै प्रान्तका अधिकारीहरू, विभिन्न जातिका सबै गभर्नरहरू, सबैजातिका अधिकारीहरूलाई हरेक प्रान्तमा तिनीहरूको आफ्नै लिपि र हरेक जातिको आफ्नै भाषामा पठाइयो । यसलाई राजा अहासूरसको नाउँमा लेखिएको र त्यसलाई तिनको औँठीद्वारा छाप लगाइएको थियो ।
Then were called the king's scribes in the first month on the thirteenth day thereof, and there was written all just as Haman had commanded unto the king's lieutenants, and to the governors that were over every province, and to the princes of every people, to every province according to its writing, and to every people according to its language: in the name of king Achashverosh was it written, and it was sealed with the king's signet-ring.
13 बाह्रौँ महिना (जुन अदार महिना हो) को तेह्रौँ दिनमा युवादेखि वृद्धसम्म, बालबालिका र महिला सबै यहूदीलाई एकै दिनमा नामेट पार्न, मार्न र नाश गर्न अनि तिनीहरूका धन-सम्पत्ति खोस्न राजाका सारा प्रान्तमा पत्रवाहकहरूद्वारा चिठ्ठीहरू पठाइए ।
And the letters were sent by the runners unto all the king's provinces, to destroy, to kill, and to exterminate all the Jews, from young to old, little ones and women, on one day, on the thirteenth day of the twelfth month, which is the month Adar, and to plunder their property as spoil.
14 हरेक प्रान्तमा उक्त चिट्ठीको एकप्रतिलाई कानुन बनाइयो । तिनीहरू त्यही दिन तयार हुनुपर्छ भनेर हरेक प्रान्तमा सबै मानिसलाई जानकारी गराइयो ।
A copy of the writing, to be given out as a law in every province, was published unto all the nations, that they might be ready against that day.
15 राजाको आदेशलाई वितरण गर्न पत्रवाहकहरू हतारिए गए । शूशनको किल्लाभित्र पनि उर्दी बाँडियो । राजा र हामान पिउनलाई बसे, तर शूशन सहरमा भने हलचल मच्चियो ।
The runners went out with all speed with the king's decree, and the law was given out in Shushan the capital: and the king and Haman sat down to drink; but the city of Shushan was perplexed.
