Estera 9
1 Ie amy volam-paha-folo-ro’ ambiy, i volan-kiahiay, amy andro fahafolo-telo’ ambiy, ie fa hanoeñe ty lily naho tsei’ i mpanjakay, amy andro nampitaman-drafelahin-te-Iehoda t’ie hiambotrake—fe nifotetse i rahay, fa nanandily amo nalaiñe iareoo o nte-Iehodao;
Now in the twelfth month, which is the month of Adar, on the thirteenth day, when the king's law and decree were about to be carried out, on the day when the enemies of the Jews hoped to gain power over them, it was reversed. The Jews gained power over those who hated them.
2 le nifandrimboñe amo rova’ iareoo, amo fifeleha’ i Akasverose mpanjakao iabio o nte-Iehodao, hampipao-pitàñe amy ze nipay hijoy iareo; fe tsy teo ty nahafitroatse am’iereo; fa nihotrak’ am’ondaty iabio ty fañeveñañe am’iareo.
The Jews assembled in their cities throughout all the provinces of King Ahasuerus, to lay hands on those who tried to bring disaster on them. No one could stand against them, for the fear of them had fallen on all the peoples.
3 Le nañolotse o nte-Iehodao ze hene beim-pifelehañeo naho o sorotào naho o mpifelekeo vaho ze nitoloñe amy mpanjakay iaby; ie fa nidoiñe am’ iereo ty fihembañañe i Mordekay.
All the officials of the provinces, the provincial governors, the governors, and the king's administrators, helped the Jews because the fear of Mordecai had fallen on them.
4 Fa ra’elahy añanjomba’ i mpanjakay t’i Mordekay, le fa nanitsike ze hene fifelehañe ty enge’e; fa nitoabotoabotse erike indaty Mordekay zay.
For Mordecai was great in the king's house, and his fame spread throughout all the provinces, for the man Mordecai was becoming great.
5 Fonga linihi’ o nte-Iehodao an-kabokabom-pibara o rafelahi’eo, reke-pizamanañe naho fandrotsahañe, le nanoe’ iereo ze tea’e amo nalaiñe iareoo.
The Jews attacked their enemies with the sword, killing and destroying them, and did as they pleased to those who hated them.
6 Linafa naho navetra’ o nte-Iehodao an-drova’ i Sosane ao ty lahilahy liman-jato.
In the fortress of Susa itself the Jews killed and destroyed five hundred men.
7 Le zinama’ iareo t’i Parsandatà naho i Dalfone naho i Aspatà
They killed Parshandatha, Dalphon, Aspatha,
8 naho i Poratà naho i Adalià naho i Aridatà,
Poratha, Adalia, Aridatha,
9 naho i Parmastà naho i Arisay naho i Ariday vaho i Vajezatà,
Parmashta, Arisai, Aridai, Vaizatha,
10 ana-dahi’ folo’ i Hamane ana’ i Hamedatà, rafelahi’ o nte-Iehodaoy; fe tsy pinaom-pità’ iareo o vara’eo.
and the ten sons of Haman son of Hammedatha, the enemy of the Jews. But they did not take any plunder.
11 Nasese amy mpanjakay ty ia’ o linihiñe an-drova’ i Sosane ao tañ’andro zaio.
That day the number of those killed in the fortress of Susa, was reported to the king.
12 Le hoe i mpanjakay amy Estere mpanjaka-ampela: Fa nanjevoñe naho namongotse lahilahy liman-jato an-drova’ i Sosane ao naho i ana-dahi’ i Hamane folo rey o nte-Iehodao; inoñ’ arè ty nanoe’ iareo amy hene fifeleha’ i mpanjakay ila’e rey! Aa ndra ino ty halali’o, le hatolotse azo vaho ndra ino ty hàta’o mandikoatse zao, le hanoeñe.
The king said to Queen Esther, “The Jews have killed five hundred men in the fortress of Susa, including the ten sons of Haman. What then have they done in the rest of the king's provinces? Now what is your petition? It will be granted you. What is your request? It will be granted to you.”
13 Aa le hoe t’i Estere: Naho no’ i mpanjakay, le atoloro amo nte-Iehodao e Sosane etoa ty hanoe’ iereo hamaray ka hambañe amy kinoike ami’ty andro toiy, le haradorado amo firadoradoañeo i ana-dahi’ i Hamane folo rey.
Esther said, “If it pleases the king, let the Jews who are in Susa be permitted to carry out this day's decree tomorrow also, and let the bodies of Haman's ten sons be hanged on gallows.”
14 Le linili’i mpanjakay t’ie hanoeñe; naho nikoiheñe e Sosane ao ty tsey; vaho naradorado i ana-dahi’ i Hamane folo rey.
So the king commanded that this be done. A decree was issued in Susa, and they hanged the ten sons of Haman.
15 Aa le nifandrimboñe amy andro fahafolo-efats’ ambi’ i volan-kiahiay ka o lahilahy nte-Iehodà e Sosaneo vaho nanjamañe lahilahy telonjato e Sosane ao, fa tsy pinaom-pità’ iareo i fikopahañey.
The Jews who were in Susa came together on the fourteenth day of the month of Adar, and killed three hundred more men in Susa, but laid no hands on the plunder.
16 Le nifandrimboñe ka o nte-Iehoda ila’e amo fifeleha’ i mpanjakaio naho nijadoñe hañaro-piaiñe naho nahazo fitofàñe amo rafelahio vaho linihi’ iereo ty fito-ale-tsi-lime-arivo amo mpalaiñe iareoo—fe tsy nipaohem-pitàñe o fikopakeo—
The rest of the Jews who were in the king's provinces came together to defend their lives, and they got relief from their enemies and killed seventy-five thousand of those who hated them, but they did not lay their hands on the valuables of those they killed.
17 amy andro faha folo-telo’ ambim-bolan-kiahiay, le nitofa amy andro faha folo-efats’ambiy iereo vaho nanoe’ iareo andron-tsabadidake naho firebehañe.
This happened on the thirteenth day of the month of Adar. On the fourteenth day they rested and made that a day of feasting and gladness.
18 Fe nifandrimboñe amy andro faha folo-telo’ambiy o nte-Iehoda e Sosaneo naho amy andro faha folo-efats’ ambiy vaho nitofa amy andro fahafolo-lim’ambiy, le nanoe’ iereo andron-tsabadidake naho firebehañe.
But the Jews who were in Susa assembled together on the thirteenth and the fourteenth days. On the fifteenth day they rested and made it a day of feasting and gladness.
19 Aa le fanoe’ o nte-Iehodà an-tanàñeo, o mpimoneñe an-drova tsy aman-kijolio, ami’ ty andro faha folo-efats’ambi’ i volan-kiahiay ty andron-kafaleañe naho sabadidake; andro fanjaka naho andro fifañitrifan-dravoravo.
That is why the Jews of the villages, who make their homes in the rural towns, observe the fourteenth day of the month of Adar as a day of gladness and feasting, and as a day on which they send gifts of food to one another.
20 Aa le nisokira’ i Mordekay naho nampañitrife’e taratasy ze hene nte-Iehoda amo fonga fifeleha’ i Akasverose mpanjakao, ty marine naho ty lavitse,
Mordecai recorded these things and sent letters to all the Jews who were in all the provinces of King Ahasuerus, both near and far,
21 nandily te hambenañe boa-taoñe ty andro faha folo-efats’ ambi’ i volan-kiahiay naho i andro fahafolo-lim’ ambi’ey;
obligating them to keep the fourteenth and the fifteenth day of Adar every year.
22 i andro nahazoa’ o nte-Iehodao fitofàñe amo rafelahi’eoy, le nafotetse ho volan-kafaleañe ho a iereo i ho nivolam-pandalañey, ty hontoke ho andro fanjàka; t’ie hanoe’ iareo andron-tsabadidake naho fifaleañe; fifañitrifañe ravoravo naho fanoloram-palalàñe amo rarakeo.
These were the days when the Jews got relief from their enemies, and the month when their sorrow turned to joy, and mourning into a day of celebration. They were to make them days of feasting and gladness, and of sending gifts of food to one another, and gifts to the poor.
23 Aa le rinambe’ o nte-Iehodao ty hanao i niorota’ iareoy naho i nanokira’ i Mordekay am’ iereoy;
So the Jews continued the celebration they had begun, doing what Mordecai had written to them.
24 amy te nikitrok’ amo nte-Iehodao t’i Hamane ana’ i Hamedatà nte-Agage, rafelahi’ ze kila nte-Iehoda, hamongora’e, ie nampijòm-boam-pane hisikilia’e, hampiantoa’e, hanjamana’e;
At that time Haman son of Hammedatha the Agagite, the enemy of all the Jews, had plotted against the Jews to destroy them, and he threw Pur (that is, he threw lots), to crush and destroy them.
25 fe naho niatrefe’e i mpanjakay, le linili’e an-taratasy te hafotetse ami’ ty añambone’e i fikitrohan-drati’e amo nte-Iehodaoy vaho naradorado am-piradoradoañe ey, ie naho i ana-dahi’e rey.
But when the matter came before the king, he gave orders by letters that the wicked plan Haman developed against the Jews should come back on his own head, and that he and his sons should be hanged on the gallows.
26 Aa le nitokave’ iareo Porime i andro rey ty ami’ty hoe Pore. Aa le ze hene entañe an-taratasy toy naho ze nizoe’ iereo ty ama’e vaho ze nioza’ am’ iereo,
Therefore they called these days Purim, after the name of Pur. Because of everything that was written in this letter, and everything that they had seen and that had happened to them,
27 ty nitroara’ o nte-Iehodao naho rinambe’ iareo ho am-bata’e naho ho amo tarira’ iareoo naho amy ze hirekets’ am’ iereo, t’ie tsy hapòke fa ho tana’ iareo i andro roe rey ty amy sinokitse ama’ey, amy andro namantañañey, boa-tao-boa-taoñe;
the Jews accepted a new custom and duty. This custom would be for themselves, their descendants, and everyone who joined them. It would be that they would celebrate these two days every year. They would celebrate them in a certain way and at the same time each year.
28 naho te ho tiahieñe naho ambenañe amo hene tariratseo naho amy ze hene hasavereñañe naho fifelehañe vaho rova, te tsy hipok’ amo nte-Iehodao i andro Porime rey naho tsy ho modo an-taminga’ iareo ty fitiahiañe iareo.
These days were to be celebrated and observed in every generation, every family, every province, and every city. These Jews and their descendants would never cease to faithfully observe these days of Purim, so that they should never forget them.
29 Le sinoki’ i Estere mpanjaka-ampela, ana’ i Abihaile naho i Mordekay nte-Iehoda, an-dili-jadoñe hamenteañe i taratasy faharoe’ i Porimey.
Queen Esther daughter of Abihail and Mordecai the Jew wrote with full authority and confirmed this second letter about Purim.
30 Le nampihitrife’e amo hene nte-Iehoda am-pifeleha’ i Akasverose, zato-tsi-roapolo-fito’ ambio; an-tsaontsim-panintsiñañe naho to,
Letters were sent to all the Jews in the 127 provinces of the kingdom of Ahasuerus, wishing the Jews safety and truth.
31 hañatò i androm-Porime rey añ’andro nifotoañeñe, i tinendre’ i Mordekay nte-Iehoday naho i Estere mpanjaka-ampelaiy, manahake i nikoiha’ iareo ho am-bata’ iareo naho ho amo tarira’eo ty amy fililirañey naho i fitoreova’ iareoy.
These letters confirmed the days of Purim at their appointed times, as Mordecai the Jew and Queen Esther obligated the Jews. The Jews accepted this obligation for themselves and their descendants, just as also they accepted times of fasting and lamenting.
32 Aa le nampijadoñe o raham-Porimeo ty lili’ i Estere; vaho pinatetse amy bokey.
The command of Esther confirmed these regulations regarding Purim, and it was written in the book.
