Esther 9
1 On the thirteenth day of the twelfth month, the month of Adar, the king's order and decree were to be carried out. That day the enemies of the Jews had thought they would crush them, but the exact opposite happened—the Jews crushed their enemies.
Ary tamin’ ny andro fahatelo ambin’ ny folo tamin’ ny volana faharoa ambin’ ny folo (volana Adara izany), rehefa akaiky ny andro hanatanterahana ny tenin’ ny mpanjaka sy ny didiny, dia ny andro izay efa nantenain’ ny fahavalon’ ny Jiosy haharesena azy indrindra (kanjo navadika izany, ka ny Jiosy kosa no naharesy izay nankahala azy),
2 The Jews gathered in their cities throughout the provinces of King Xerxes to attack those who wanted to destroy them. Nobody could oppose them, because all the other people were afraid of them.
dia nivory tany an-tanànany avy ny Jiosy, tany amin’ ny isan-tokony eran’ ny fanjakan’ i Ahasoerosy mpanjaka, mba hamely izay nividy hanisy ratsy azy; ary tsy nisy olona nahajanona teo anoloany, fa efa nahazo ny olona rehetra ny fahatahorana azy.
3 All the officials of the provinces, the chief officers, the governors, and the king's officials helped the Jews, because they were afraid of Mordecai.
Ary ny mpanapaka rehetra isan-tokony tamin’ ny fanjakana sy ny solo-mpanjaka sy ny governora mbamin’ ny mpanao raharahan’ ny mpanjaka dia nanampy ny Jiosy, satria azon’ ny fahatahorana an’ i Mordekay izy.
4 Mordecai had a great deal of power in the royal palace, and his reputation spread throughout the provinces as his power increased.
Fa Mordekay dia lehibe tao an-tranon’ ny mpanjaka, ary ny lazany niely tany amin’ ny isan-tokony eran’ ny fanjakana; fa nitombo sy nisandratra ihany io lehilahy Mordekay io.
5 The Jews attacked their enemies with swords, killing and destroying them, and they did whatever they wanted to their enemies.
Ary nasian’ ny Jiosy ny fahavalony rehetra ka nokapainy sabatra sy novonoiny ary naringany, fa nahazo nanao araka izay sitraky ny fony tamin’ izay nankahala azy izy.
6 In the fortress of Susa, the Jews killed and destroyed five hundred men.
Ary tany Sosana renivohitra aza ny Jiosy dia nahavono sy naharingana diman-jato lahy;
7 This included Parshandatha, Dalphon, Aspatha,
ary Parsandata sy Dalfona sy Aspata
8 Poratha, Adalia, Aridatha,
sy Porata sy Adalia sy Aridata
9 Parmashta, Arisai, Aridai, and Vaizatha,
sy Parmasta sy Arisay sy Ariday ary Vaizata,
10 the ten sons of Haman, son of Hammedatha, the enemy of the Jews, but they did not take their possessions.
izy folo lahy, zanak’ i Hamana, zanak’ i Hamedota, fahavalon’ ny Jiosy, dia novonoiny koa; kanefa ny fananany tsy mba norobainy tsy akory.
11 The same day, when the number of those killed in the fortress of Susa was reported to the king,
Androtrizay ihany dia nambara tamin’ ny mpanjaka ny isan’ ny voavono tany Sosana renivohitra.
12 he said to Queen Esther, “The Jews have killed and destroyed five hundred men in the fortress of Susa, including Haman's ten sons. Imagine what they've done in the rest of the royal provinces! Now what is it you'd like to ask? It will be given to you. What more do you want? It will be granted.”
Ary hoy ny mpanjaka tamin’ i Estera, vadin’ ny mpanjaka: Teto Sosana renivohitra aza ny Jiosy efa nahavono sy naharingana diman-jato lahy mbamin’ izy folo lahy, zanak’ i Hamana; koa nanao ahoana kosa no nataony tamin’ ny isan-tokony eran’ ny fanjakan’ ny mpanjaka! Dia inona koa no angatahinao? Fa hatao izany. Ary inona no mbola tadiavinao? Fa homena izany.
13 “If it please Your Majesty,” Esther replied, “allow the Jews in Susa be allowed to do the same tomorrow as they did today, following the decree. Also, let the ten sons of Haman be impaled on poles.”
Dia hoy Estera: Raha sitraky ny mpanjaka, dia aoka ny Jiosy izay eto Sesana havela hanao toy ny natao androany ihany koa rahampitso, ary aoka hahantona amin’ ny hazo koa izy folo lahy, zanak’ i Hamana.
14 The king ordered this to be done. A decree was issued in Susa, and they impaled the bodies of Haman's ten sons.
Dia nasain’ ny mpanjaka natao izany; ary nantsoina tany Sosana ny teny, ka dia nahantona izy folo lahy, zanak’ i Hamana.
15 On the fourteenth day of the month of Adar, the Jews in Susa gathered together again and killed three hundred men there, but again they did not take their possessions.
Dia nivory indray ny Jiosy izay tany Sosana tamin’ ny andro fahefatra ambin’ ny folo tamin’ ny volana Adara ka namono olona telon-jato lahy tany Sosana; kanefa ny fananany tsy mba norobainy tsy akory.
16 The other Jews in the king's provinces also gathered to defend themselves and get rid of their enemies. They killed 75,000 who hated them, but did not touch their possessions.
Ary ny Jiosy sasany isan-tokony tamin’ ny fanjakan’ ny mpanjaka dia nivory hiaro ny ainy, ka afaka tamin’ ny fahavalony izy, ary dimy arivo amby fito alina no matiny (kanefa ny fananany tsy mba norobainy)
17 This happened on the thirteenth day of the month of Adar, and on the fourteenth day they rested and made it a day of feasting and celebration.
tamin’ ny andro fahatelo ambin’ ny folo tamin’ ny volana Adara; ary nitsahatra izy tamin’ ny andro fahefatra ambin’ ny folo, ka nataony ho andro fanasana sy firavoravoana izany.
18 However, the Jews in Susa had gathered to fight on the thirteenth and the fourteenth days of the month. So they rested on the fifteenth day, and made that a day of feasting and celebration.
Fa ny Jiosy izay tany Sosana kosa nivory tamin’ ny andro fahatelo ambin’ ny folo tamin’ io ihany sy tamin’ ny andro fahefatra ambin’ ny folo koa; ary nitsahatra tamin’ ny andro fahadimy ambin’ ny folo izy, ka dia io no nataony andro fanasana sy firavoravoana.
19 To this day rural Jews, living in the villages, observe the fourteenth day of the month of Adar as a day of celebration and feasting, a holiday when they send gifts to one another.
Koa noho izany ny Jiosy tany ambanivohitra, izay nitoetra tamin’ ny vohitra madinika, dia nanao ny andro fahefatra ambin’ ny folo amin’ ny volana Adara ho firavoravoana sy fanasana sy andro mahafaly ary fifanateran-javatra.
20 Mordecai recorded these events and sent letters to all the Jews throughout the provinces ruled by King Xerxes, near and far,
Ary Mordekay nanoratra ny amin’ izany zavatra izany sady nampitondra taratasy ho any amin’ ny Jiosy rehetra izay tany amin’ ny isan-tokony eran’ ny fanjakan’ i Ahasoerosy mpanjaka, na ny akaiky na ny lavitra,
21 requiring them to celebrate every year the fourteenth and fifteenth days of the month of Adar
mba hampitandrina azy ny andro fahefatra ambin’ ny folo sy ny fahadimy ambin’ ny folo amin’ ny volana Adara isan-taona,
22 as the time when the Jews rested from their victory over their enemies, and as the month when their sadness was turned into joy and their mourning into a time of celebration. He wrote them to observe the days as days of feasting and joy and giving gifts of food to one another and presents to the poor.
dia araka ny andro nahafahan’ ny Jiosy tamin’ ny fahavalony, sy ny volana izay nampodiana ny alahelony ho fifaliana ary ny fitomaniany ho andro mahafaly, mba hatao ho andro fanasana sy fifaliana sy fifanateran-javatra ary fanomezan-javatra ho an’ ny mahantra izany.
23 The Jews agreed to continue what they had already started doing, following what Mordecai had written to them.
Ary ny Jiosy nanaiky hanao araka izay vao nataony, dia araka izay efa nosoratan’ i Mordekay taminy,
24 For Haman, son of Hammedatha, the Agagite, the enemy of all the Jews, had plotted to destroy the Jews, and had cast “pur” (meaning a “lot”) to crush and destroy them.
satria Hamana, zanak’ i Hamedota Agagita, fahavalon’ ny Jiosy rehetra, efa nihevitra handringana ny Jiosy ka efa nanao pora (filokana izany) handreseny sy handringanany azy;
25 But when it came to the king's attention, he sent out letters ordering that the evil scheme which Haman had planned against the Jews should rebound on him, and that he and his sons should be impaled on poles.
fa raha nankeo anatrehan’ ny mpanjaka izany, dia nampanoratra taratasy handidy mba hatsingerina ho eo amin’ ny lohany ihany ny hevi-dratsy nokasain’ i Hamana hatao amin’ ny Jiosy, ary mba hahantona amin’ ny hazo izy sy ny zananilahy.
26 (That's why these days are called Purim, from the word Pur.) As a result of all the instructions in Mordecai's letter, and what they'd seen, and what had happened to them,
Izany no nanaovana ireo andro ireo hoe Porima, dia araka ny anarana hoe Pora. Ary araka ny teny rehetra tamin’ izany taratasy izany sy izay hitany ny amin’ izany zavatra efa nanjo azy izany
27 the Jews committed themselves to adopt the practice that they and their descendants and all who join them should not forget to celebrate these two days as set down, and at the right time every year.
dia nanao lalàna tsy azo ovana ny Jiosy ka nanaiky fa izy sy ny taranany ary izay rehetra miray aminy dia hitandrina izany andro roa izany araka ny voasoratra sy araka ny fotoany isan-taona;
28 These days were to be remembered and celebrated by every generation, family, province, and city, so that these days of Purim would always be observed among the Jews, and they would not be forgotten by their descendants.
ary mba hotsarovana sy hotandremana ireo andro ireo amin’ ny taranany rehetra sy ny fokony rehetra sy ny isan-tokony eran’ ny fanjakana rehetra sy amin’ ny isan-tanàna; ary mba tsy ho tapaka amin’ ny Jiosy ireo andro Porima ireo, ka tsy hitsahatra ny fahatsiarovana izany amin’ ny taranany.
29 Then Queen Esther, the daughter of Abihail, wrote a letter, along with Mordecai the Jew, giving in her letter full authority to Mordecai's letter about Purim.
Ary Estera, vadin’ ny mpanjaka, sady zanakavavin’ i Abihaila sy Mordekay Jiosy, dia nanoratra tamin’ ny fahefana rehetra hanamafy izany taratasy faharoa milaza ny Porima izany.
30 Letters expressing peace and reassurance were also sent all the Jews in the 127 provinces of the empire of King Xerxes.
Ary nampitondra taratasy ho any amin’ ny Jiosy rehetra izy dia ho any amin’ ny toko fito amby roa-polo amby zato amin’ ny fanjakan’ i Ahasoerosy, manao teny fiadanana sy fahamarinana,
31 They established these days of Purim at their given time as Mordecai the Jew and Queen Esther had ordered, committing themselves and their descendants to the times of fasting and mourning.
mba hampitandrina azy Ireo andro Porima ireo amin’ ny fotoany, araka izay nandidian’ i Mordekay Jiosy sy Estera, vadin’ ny mpanjaka, azy sy araka izay efa nekeny ho an’ ny tenany sy ny taranany koa ny amin’ ny fifadian-kaniny sy ny fitarainany.
32 In this way Esther's decree confirmed these practices regarding Purim, which were entered in the official record.
Ary ny tenin’ i Estera dia nanamafy izany teny milaza ny Porima izany; ary voasoratra tao amin’ ny boky izany.
