Estera 6
1 Ary tamin’ iny alina iny tsy nahita torimaso ny mpanjaka ka nampaka ny boky fitadidiana ny tantara; ary novakina teo anatrehan’ ny mpanjaka izany.
That night sleep escaped the king; so he ordered the Book of Records, the Chronicles, to be brought in and read to him.
2 Ka, indro, voasoratra fa Mordekay no niampanga an’ i Bigtana sy Taresy, roa lahy isan’ ny tsindranolahin’ i ny mpanjaka, dia ireo mpiambina teo am-baravarana izay nitady hamono an’ i Ahasoerosy mpanjaka.
And there it was found recorded that Mordecai had exposed Bigthana and Teresh, two of the eunuchs who guarded the king’s entrance, when they had conspired to assassinate King Xerxes.
3 Ary hoy ny mpanjaka: Inona moa no fisandratana sy voninahitra mba efa nomena an’ i Mordekay noho izany? Fa hoy ny zatovon’ ny mpanjaka Izay nanompo azy: Tsy mbola nisy nomena azy.
The king inquired, “What honor or dignity has been bestowed on Mordecai for this act?” “Nothing has been done for him,” replied the king’s attendants.
4 Ary hoy ny mpanjaka: Iza no ao an-kianja ao? Ary Hamana kosa efa sendra tonga tao an-kianja ivelan’ ny tranon’ ny mpanjaka tamin’ izay hiteny amin’ ny mpanjaka ny amin’ ny hanantonana an’ i Mordekay amin’ ilay hazo efa natsangany hanantonana azy.
“Who is in the court?” the king asked. Now Haman had just entered the outer court of the palace to ask the king to hang Mordecai on the gallows he had prepared for him.
5 Ka hoy ny zatovon’ ny mpanjaka taminy: Indro, Hamana no mitsangana ao an-kianja. Ary hoy ny mpanjaka: Asaovy miditra izy.
So the king’s attendants answered him, “Haman is there, standing in the court.” “Bring him in,” ordered the king.
6 Dia niditra Hamana ka hoy ny mpanjaka taminy: Inona no mendrika hatao amin’ izay lehilahy tian’ ny mpanjaka homem-boninahitra? Ary Hamana nanao anakampo hoe: Koa iza indray moa no ho tian’ ny mpanjaka homem-boninahitra afa-tsy izaho?
Haman entered, and the king asked him, “What should be done for the man whom the king is delighted to honor?” Now Haman thought to himself, “Whom would the king be delighted to honor more than me?”
7 Ka dia hoy Hamana tamin’ ny mpanjaka: Ny amin’ izay lehilahy tian’ ny mpanjaka homem-boninahitra,
And Haman told the king, “For the man whom the king is delighted to honor,
8 aoka halaina izay akanjo fiandrianana efa niakanjoan’ ny mpanjaka sy soavaly izay efa nitaingenan’ ny mpanjaka sady voaisy satro-boninahitra ny lohany;
have them bring a royal robe that the king himself has worn and a horse on which the king himself has ridden—one with a royal crest placed on its head.
9 dia aoka izany fitafiana sy soavaly izany no hatolotra eo an-tànan’ ny anankiray izay malaza indrindra amin’ ny mpanapaka voatendrin’ ny mpanjaka, ary aoka izay lehilahy tian’ ny mpanjaka homem-boninahitra no hampiakanjoina izany ka hampitaingenina amin’ ny soavaly, dia ho entina eny an-kalalahana eto an-tanàna, ary aoka hisy hiantso eo alohany hoe: Izao no hatao amin’ ny lehilahy izay tian’ ny mpanjaka homem-boninahitra.
Let the robe and the horse be entrusted to one of the king’s most noble princes. Let them array the man the king wants to honor and parade him on the horse through the city square, proclaiming before him, ‘This is what is done for the man whom the king is delighted to honor!’”
10 Dia hoy ny mpanjaka tamin’ i Hamana: Faingana ary, alao ny akanjo sy ny soavaly araka ny voalazanao, ka dia ataovy araka izany amin’ i Mordekay Jiosy, izay mipetraka eo am-bavahadin’ ny mpanjaka; aza asiana latsaka izay rehetra nolazainao.
“Hurry,” said the king to Haman, “and do just as you proposed. Take the robe and the horse to Mordecai the Jew, who is sitting at the king’s gate. Do not neglect anything that you have suggested.”
11 Dia nalain’ i Hamana ny akanjo sy ny soavaly, ka nampiakanjo an’ i Mordekay izy ary nampitaigina azy tamin’ ny soavaly, dia nitondra azy ho eny an-kalalahana teo an-tanàna ka niantso teo alohany hoe: Izao no hatao amin’ ny lehilahy izay tian’ ny mpanjaka homem-boninahitra.
So Haman took the robe and the horse, arrayed Mordecai, and paraded him through the city square, crying out before him, “This is what is done for the man whom the king is delighted to honor!”
12 Ary Mordekay niverina nankeo amin’ ny vavahadin’ ny mpanjaka; fa Hamana kosa nody faingana ho any an-tranony sady nalahelo no nisaron-doha.
Then Mordecai returned to the king’s gate. But Haman rushed home, with his head covered in grief.
13 Dia nolazain’ i Hamana tamin’ i Zaresy vadiny sy ny sakaizany rehetra izay zavatra nanjo azy. Ary hoy ny olon-kendry rehetra sy Zaresy vadiny taminy: Raha avy amin’ ny taranaky ny Jiosy Mordekay, izay efa niantomboka nandavo anao teo anatrehany, dia tsy haharesy azy mihitsy ianao, fa ho lavo eo anatrehany tokoa.
Haman told his wife Zeresh and all his friends everything that had happened. His advisers and his wife Zeresh said to him, “Since Mordecai, before whom your downfall has begun, is Jewish, you will not prevail against him—for surely you will fall before him.”
14 Ary raha mbola niresaka taminy ihany ireo, dia tonga ny tsindranolahin’ ny mpanjaka ka naka faingana an’ i Hamana ho ny amin’ ny fanasana izay efa namboarin’ i Estera.
While they were still speaking with Haman, the king’s eunuchs arrived and rushed him to the banquet that Esther had prepared.
