< Estera 4 >

1 Ie nirendre’ i Mordekay i nanoeñe rezay, le niriate’ i Mordekay o saro’eo, le nisikin-gony naho lavenoke, le niheo añivo’ i rovay, nampipoña-koaike mafaitse.
When Mordecai perceived all that was done, Mordecai rent his clothes, and put on sackcloth with ashes, and went out into the midst of the city, and cried with a loud and a bitter cry;
2 Nañavelo pak’ an-dalambeim-panjaka eo re, fa tsy eo ty mimoak’ amy lalambeim-panjakay misikin-gony.
And came even before the king's gate: for none might enter into the king's gate clothed with sackcloth.
3 Aa ndra fifelehañe aia aia ty nandoaha’ i lily naho tsei’ mpanjakaiy, le akore ty habeim-pirovetañe amo nte-Iehodao, reke-lilitse, fangololoihañe naho fangoihoiañe; vaho maro ty niba­bok’ an-gony naho an-davenoke.
And in every province, anywhere the king's commandment and his decree came, there was great mourning among the Jews, and fasting, and weeping, and wailing; and many lay in sackcloth and ashes.
4 Aa le niheo mb’amy Estere mb’eo o mpiatra’eo naho o mpifehe’eo nitalily ama’e. Vata’e nalorè amy zao i mpanjaka-ampelay vaho nampañitrife’e lamba t’i Mordekay, hañafahañe i goni’ey, fe tsy rinambe’e.
So Esther's maids and her chamberlains came and told it her. Then was the queen exceedingly grieved; and she sent raiment to clothe Mordecai, and to take away his sackcloth from him: but he received it not.
5 Tinoka’ i Estere t’i Hatàke amo mpiatram-panjakao, i tinendre hiatrak’ azey le nafantok’ ama’e ty hiheo mb’ amy Mordekay mb’eo haharendreke t’ie inoñe ndra manao akore.
Then called Esther for Hatach, one of the king's chamberlains, whom he had appointed to attend upon her, and gave him a commandment to Mordecai, to know what it was, and why it was.
6 Aa le nimb’amy Mordekay an-dala’ i rovay aolo’ i lalambeim-panjakay mb’eo t’i Hatàke.
So Hatach went forth to Mordecai unto the street of the city, which was before the king's gate.
7 Le nitalilia’ i Mordekay ze fonga nifetsak’ ama’e naho ty drala do’e nampitamae’ i Hamane hondroha’e amo fañajam-baram-panjakao ty amo nte-Iehoda hamongorañeo.
And Mordecai told him of all that had happened unto him, and of the sum of the money that Haman had promised to pay to the king's treasuries for the Jews, to destroy them.
8 Natolo’e aze ka ty dika-mira i taratasin-tsey zinara e Sosane ao hanjamanañe iareoy, hatoro’e amy Estere, hampalangesañe ama’e, hamantohañ’ aze ty homb’ amy mpanjakay, hitoreo fiferenaiñañe, hihalalia’e añatrefa’e eo ondati’eo.
Also he gave him the copy of the writing of the decree that was given at Shushan to destroy them, to show it unto Esther, and to declare it unto her, and to charge her that she should go in unto the king, to make supplication unto him, and to make request before him for her people.
9 Aa le nimpoly mb’eo t’i Hatàke nitalily amy Estere i enta’ i Mordekaiy.
And Hatach came and told Esther the words of Mordecai.
10 Le nisaontsie’ i Estere amy Hatàke ty hañitrike o entañe zao amy Mordekay:
Again Esther spoke unto Hatach, and gave him commandment unto Mordecai;
11 Fohi’ ze hene mpitoro’ i mpanjakay naho ze fonga ondatim-pifeleha’ i mpanjakay, te ndra ia ia, ke lahilahy he rakemba ty miheo mb’amy mpanjakay ankiririsa añate’e ao, ie tsy kinoike, le raik’ avao ty lili’e: havetrake naho tsy itolora’ i mpanjakay i kobaim-bolamenay, hiveloma’e; fe mboe tsy tinoka ho mb’ama’e mb’eo raho o telo-polo andro zao.
All the king's servants, and the people of the king's provinces, do know, that whosoever, whether man or women, shall come unto the king into the inner court, who is not called, there is one law of his to put him to death, except such to whom the king shall hold out the golden sceptre, that he may live: but I have not been called to come in unto the king these thirty days.
12 Natalili’ iareo amy Mordekay i lañona’ i Estere zay.
And they told to Mordecai Esther's words.
13 Aa le nahere’ i Mordekay amy Estere ty hoe: Ko mañarahara te ihe añ’anjomba’ i mpanjakay ty hahapolititse mandikoatse ze nte-Iehoda iaby.
Then Mordecai commanded to answer Esther, Think not with yourself that you shall escape in the king's house, more than all the Jews.
14 Aa naho mitsin-drehe henane zao le hiongake an-toetse ila’e ty famotsorañe naho ty fandrombahañe o nte-Iehodào, fe hirotsake rehe naho i anjomban-drae’oy; ia ty mahafohiñe, hera te nitsatok’ amy mahampanjaka azoy t’ie ho añ’andro hoe zao?
For if you altogether hold your peace at this time, then shall there enlargement and deliverance arise to the Jews from another place; but you and your father's house shall be destroyed: and who knows whether you are come to the kingdom for such a time as this?
15 Aa le nampibalike ty hoe amy Mordekay t’i Estere:
Then Esther bade them return Mordecai this answer,
16 Akia, atontono ze hene nte-Iehodà tendreke e Sosane ao, le mililira ho ahy, ko mikama ndra minoñe telo andro, haleñe naho handro; hililitse manahake zay ka raho naho o somondrarakoo; zay vaho hiheo mb’amy mpanjakay mb’eo, ie tsy milahatse amy liliy; fa naho hikenkan-draho le hikenkañe.
Go, gather together all the Jews that are present in Shushan, and fast all of you for me, and neither eat nor drink three days, night or day: I also and my maidens will fast likewise; and so will I go in unto the king, which is not according to the law: and if I perish, I perish.
17 Aa le nienga mb’eo t’i Mordekay, nanao ze hene namantoha’ i Estere.
So Mordecai went his way, and did according to all that Esther had commanded him.
