Esther 3
1 After these things, king Assuerus advanced Aman, the son of Amadathi, who was of the race of Agag: and he set his throne above all the princes that were with him.
Kalpasan dagitoy a banbanag, impangato ni Ari Ahasuero ti saad ni Haman a putot ni Hamedata nga Agagita, ket naisaad ti turayna a nangatngato ngem kadagiti amin nga opisial a kaduana.
2 And all the king’s servants, that were at the doors of the palace, bent their knees, and worshipped Aman: for so the emperor had commanded them, only Mardochai did not bend his knee, nor worship him.
Dagiti amin nga adipen iti ari nga adda iti ruangan ti palasio ti ari ket kankanayon nga agparintumeng ken agpakleb iti sangoanan ni Haman, kas iti imbilin ti ari nga aramidenda. Ngem saan a nagparitumeng wenno nagpakleb ni Mardokeo.
3 And the king’s servants that were chief at the doors of the palace, said to him: Why dost thou alone not observe the king’s commandment?
Ket kinuna dagiti adipen ti ari nga adda iti ruangan ti palasio ti ari kenni Mardokeo, “Apay a salsalungasingem ti bilin iti ari?”
4 And when they were saying this often, and he would not hearken to them; they told Aman, desirous to know whether he would continue in his resolution: for he had told them that he was a Jew.
Inaldaw-aldaw a katkatungtungenda isuna, ngem nagkedked isuna nga agtulnog iti kalikagumda. Isu a nakitungtongda kenni Haman tapno makita no agtalinaed latta ti banag maipanggep kenni Mardokeo, ta imbagana kadakuada nga isuna ket maysa a Judio.
5 Now when Aman had heard this, and had proved by experience that Mardochai did not bend his knee to him, nor worship him, he was exceeding angry.
Idi nakita ni Haman a saan a nagparintumeng ken nagtamed ni Mardokeo kenkuana, nakapungtot ni Haman.
6 And he counted it nothing to lay his hands upon Mardochai alone: for he had heard that he was of the nation of the Jews, and he chose rather to destroy all the nation of the Jews that were in the kingdom of Assuerus.
Kinagurana ti kapanunutan a ni Mardokeo laeng ti mapapatay, ta imbaga dagiti adipen ti ari no siasino dagiti tattao ni Mardokeo. Kayat ni Haman a mapukaw dagiti amin a Judio, dagiti tattao ni Mardokeo, nga adda iti entero a pagarian ni Ahasuero.
7 In the first month (which is called Nisan) in the twelfth year a of the reign of Assuerus, the lot was cast into an urn, which in Hebrew is called Phur, before Aman, on what day and what month the nation of the Jews should be destroyed: and there came out the twelfth month, which is called Adar.
Iti umuna a bulan (a bulan ti Nisan), iti maikasangapulo ket dua a tawen ni Ari Ahasuero, adda iti nangipuruak iti Pur—dayta ket nagbibinnunotda—iti sangoanan ni Haman—binnunotan para iti tunggal aldaw ken bulan, tapno makapilida ti aldaw ken bulan— agingga a napilida ti maikasangapulo ket dua a bulan (ti bulan iti Adar).
8 And Aman said to king Assuerus: There is a people scattered through all the provinces of thy kingdom, and separated one from another, that use new laws and ceremonies, and moreover despise the king’s ordinances: and thou knowest very well that it is not expedient for thy kingdom that they should grow insolent by impunity.
Ket kinuna ni Haman kenni Ari Ahasuero, “Adda iti bunggoy dagiti tattao a naiwaras ken naibunong kadagiti amin a probinsia iti pagariam. Dagiti lintegda ket naidumduma kadagiti sabali a tattao, ket saanda a salsaluadan dagiti linteg ti ari, isu a saan a maiparbeng a palubosan ida iti ari nga agtalinaed.
9 If it please thee, decree that they may he destroyed, and I will pay ten thousand talents to thy treasurers.
No makaay-ayo daytoy iti ari, mangitedka iti bilin a papatayen isuda, ket mangtimbangak iti sangapulo a ribo a talento ti pirak a maipaima kadagidiay mangay-aywan kadagiti sanikua ti ari, tapno ikabilda daytoy iti pangiduldulinan ti kinabaknang ti ari.”
10 And the king took the ring that he used, from his own hand, and gave it to Aman, the son of Amadathi of the race of Agag, the enemy of the Jews,
Ket inuksot ti ari iti pagtatak a singsing manipud iti imana ket intedna daytoy kenni Haman a putot ni Hamedata nga Agagita, a kabusor dagiti Judio.
11 And he said to him: As to the money which thou promisest, keep it for thyself: and as to the people, do with them as seemeth good to thee.
Kinuna ti ari kenni Haman, “Kitaekto a maisubli kenka ken kadagiti tattaom ti kuarta. Aramidemto ti aniaman a kalikagummo iti daytoy.”
12 And the king’s scribes were called in the first month Nisan, on the thirteenth day of the same month: and they wrote, as Aman had commanded, to all the king’s lieutenants, and to the judges of the provinces, and of divers nations, as every nation could read, and hear according to their different languages, in the name of king Assuerus: and the letters, sealed with his ring,
Ket napaayaban dagiti eskriba ti ari iti maikasangapulo ket tallo nga aldaw ti umuna a bulan, ket ti linteg a naglaon kadagiti amin nga imbilin ni Haman ket naisurat para kadagiti gobernador dagiti probinsia ti ari, dagidiay nga adda iti amin a probinsia, kadagiti gobernador iti nadumaduma a tattao, ken kadagiti opisial dagiti amin a tattao, iti tumunggal probinsia iti bukodda a pannurat, ken iti tumunggal tattao iti bukodda a pagsasao. Naisurat daytoy iti nagan ni Ari Ahasuero ken napasingkedan babaen iti singsingna.
13 Were sent by the king’s messengers to all provinces, to kill and destroy all the Jews, both young and old, little children, and women, in one day, that is, on the thirteenth of the twelfth month, which is called Adar, and to make a spoil of their goods.
Dagiti kasuratan ket naipatulod ken naiyawat kadagiti amin a probinsia iti ari, tapno pukawen, papatayen, ken dadaelen amin dagiti Judio, manipud iti kaubingan agingga iti kalakayan, ubbing ken babbai, iti maysa nga aldaw—iti maikasangapulo ket tallo nga aldaw iti maikasangapulo ket dua a bulan (a bulan ti Adar) —ken tapno samsamenda dagiti sanikuada.
14 And the contents of the letters were to this effect, that all provinces might know and be ready against that day.
Ti kopya ti surat ket naaramid a linteg iti tunggal probinsia. Naipakaamo kadagiti amin a tattao iti tunggal probinsia a nasken nga agsaganada para iti daytoy nga aldaw.
15 The couriers that were sent made haste to fulfill the king’s commandment. And immediately the edict was hung up in Susan, the king and Aman feasting together, and all the Jews that were in the city weeping.
Rimuar ken nagap-apura dagiti mensahero a nangiwaras iti bilin ti ari. Naiwaras met ti bilin iti palasio ti Susa. Nagtugaw nga agin-inum ti ari ken ni Haman, ngem mariribukan ti siudad ti Susa.
