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.
Lẹ́yìn àwọn ìṣẹ̀lẹ̀ wọ̀nyí, ọba Ahaswerusi dá Hamani ọmọ Hammedata, ará Agagi lọ́lá, ọba gbé e ga, ó si fún un ní àga ọlá tí ó ju ti gbogbo àwọn ọlọ́lá tókù lọ.
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.
Gbogbo àwọn ìjòyè ọba tí ó wà ní ẹnu-ọ̀nà ọba wọn kúnlẹ̀ wọ́n sì fi ọlá fun Hamani, nítorí ọba ti pàṣẹ èyí nípa tirẹ̀. Ṣùgbọ́n Mordekai kò ní kúnlẹ̀ tàbí bu ọlá fún un.
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?
Nígbà náà ni àwọn ìjòyè ọba tí ó wà ní ẹnu-ọ̀nà béèrè lọ́wọ́ Mordekai pé, “Èéṣe tí ìwọ kò ṣe pa àṣẹ ọba mọ́.”
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.
Ní ojoojúmọ́ ni wọ́n máa n sọ fún un ṣùgbọ́n ó kọ̀ láti ṣe bẹ́ẹ̀. Nítorí náà, wọ́n sọ fún Hamani nípa rẹ̀ láti wò ó bóyá ó lè gba irú ìwà tí Mordekai ń hù yìí, nítorí tí ó ti sọ fún wọn pé Júù ni òun.
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.
Nígbà tí Hamani rí i pé Mordekai kò ní kúnlẹ̀ tàbí bu ọlá fún òun, ó bínú.
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.
Síbẹ̀ kò mọ irú ènìyàn tí Mordekai jẹ́, ó kẹ́gàn láti pa Mordekai nìkan. Dípò bẹ́ẹ̀ Hamani ń wá láti pa gbogbo ènìyàn Mordekai run, àwọn Júù jákèjádò gbogbo ìjọba Ahaswerusi.
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.
Ní ọdún kejìlá ọba Ahaswerusi, ní oṣù kìn-ín-ní, èyí ni oṣù Nisani, wọ́n da puri (èyí tí í ṣe, ìbò) ní iwájú Hamani láti yan ọjọ́ kan àti oṣù, ìbò náà sì wáyé ní oṣù kejìlá, oṣù Addari.
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.
Nígbà náà ni Hamani sọ fún ọba Ahaswerusi pé, “Àwọn ènìyàn kan wà tí wọ́n fọ́nká tí wọ́n sì túká ní ara àwọn ènìyàn ní gbogbo àgbáyé ìjọba rẹ̀ tí ìṣe wọn yàtọ̀ sí ti gbogbo àwọn tókù tí wọn kò sì pa òfin ọba mọ́; èyí kì í ṣe ìfẹ́ ọba láti gbà fún wọn bẹ́ẹ̀.
9 If it please thee, decree that they may he destroyed, and I will pay ten thousand talents to thy treasurers.
Tí ó bá tẹ́ ọba lọ́rùn, kí a gbé òfin kan jáde tí yóò pa wọ́n run, èmi yóò sì fi ẹgbẹ̀rún mẹ́wàá tálẹ́ǹtì fàdákà sínú ìṣúra ọba fún àwọn ọkùnrin tí wọn o ṣe iṣẹ́ náà.”
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,
Nítorí náà, ọba sì bọ́ òrùka èdìdì tí ó wà ní ìka rẹ̀, ó sì fi fún Hamani ọmọ Hammedata, ará Agagi, ọ̀tá àwọn Júù.
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.
Ọba sọ fún Hamani pé, “Pa owó náà mọ́, kí o sì ṣe ohun tí ó wù ọ́ fún àwọn ènìyàn náà.”
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,
Nígbà tí ó di ọjọ́ kẹtàlá oṣù kìn-ín-ní àkọ́kọ́, wọ́n pe àwọn akọ̀wé ọba jọ. Wọ́n kọ ọ́ ní ìlànà bí ìgbèríko kọ̀ọ̀kan ṣe ń kọ̀wé, ó kọ̀wé sí àwọn ènìyàn kọ̀ọ̀kan ní èdè wọn gbogbo èyí tí Hamani ti pàṣẹ sí àwọn akọ̀wé ọba, sí baálẹ̀ ìgbèríko kọ̀ọ̀kan àti àwọn ọlọ́lá àwọn onírúurú ènìyàn. A kọ èyí ní orúkọ ọba Ahaswerusi fúnra rẹ̀ ó sì fi òrùka ọba ṣe èdìdì i rẹ̀.
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.
A sì fi ìwé náà ránṣẹ́ sí gbogbo àwọn ìgbèríko ọba pẹ̀lú àṣẹ láti parun, láti pa gbogbo àwọn Júù èwe àti àgbà, obìnrin àti àwọn ọmọ wẹ́wẹ́—ní ọjọ́ kan kí wọn sì parẹ́, ní ọjọ́ kẹtàlá oṣù kejìlá, oṣù Addari kí a sì kó àwọn ohun ìní wọn.
14 And the contents of the letters were to this effect, that all provinces might know and be ready against that day.
Kí ẹ mú àdàkọ ìwé náà kí a tẹ̀ ẹ́ jáde bí òfin ní gbogbo ìgbèríko kí ó sì di mí mọ̀ fún àwọn ènìyàn ìlú nítorí kí wọ́n le múra fún ọjọ́ náà.
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.
Àwọn ìránṣẹ́ náà sì jáde, wọ́n tẹ̀síwájú nípa àṣẹ ọba, ìkéde náà sì jáde ní ilé ìṣọ́ ti Susa. Ọba àti Hamani jókòó wọ́n ń mu, ṣùgbọ́n ìlú Susa wà nínú ìdààmú.
