Esther 3 - Listen Online

¹ LẸHIN nkan wọnyi ni Ahaswerusi ọba gbe Hamani, ọmọ Medata, ara Agagi ga, o si gbe e lekè, o si fi ijoko rẹ̀ lekè gbogbo awọn ijoye ti o wà pẹlu rẹ̀.

¹ After these things did king Ahasuerus promote Haman the son of Hammedatha the Agagite, and advanced him, and set his seat above all the princes that were with him.

² Gbogbo awọn iranṣẹ ọba, ti nwọn wà li ẹnu ọ̀na ọba, kunlẹ nwọn si wolẹ fun Hamani: nitori ọba ti paṣẹ bẹ̃ nitori rẹ̀. Ṣugbọn Mordekai kò kunlẹ, bẹ̃ni kò si wolẹ fun u.

² And all the king's servants, that were in the king's gate, bowed, and reverenced Haman: for the king had so commanded concerning him. But Mordecai bowed not, nor did him reverence.

³ Nigbana ni awọn iranṣẹ ọba, ti nwọn wà li ẹnu ọ̀na ọba, wi fun Mordekai pe, ẽṣe ti iwọ fi nré ofin ọba kọja?

³ Then the king's servants, which were in the king's gate, said unto Mordecai, Why transgressest thou the king's commandment?

⁴ O si ṣe, nigbati nwọn wi fun u lojojumọ, ti on kò si gbọ́ ti wọn, nwọn sọ fun Hamani, lati wò bi ọ̀ran Mordekai yio ti le ri: nitori on ti wi fun wọn pe, enia Juda ni on.

⁴ Now it came to pass, when they spake daily unto him, and he hearkened not unto them, that they told Haman, to see whether Mordecai's matters would stand: for he had told them that he was a Jew.

⁵ Nigbati Hamani si ri pe, Mordekai kò kunlẹ, bẹ̃ni kò wolẹ fun on, nigbana ni Hamani kún fun ibinu.

⁵ And when Haman saw that Mordecai bowed not, nor did him reverence, then was Haman full of wrath.

⁶ O si jẹ abùku loju rẹ̀ lati gbe ọwọ le Mordekai nikan; nitori nwọn ti fi awọn enia Mordekai hàn a: nitorina gbogbo awọn Ju ti o wà ni gbogbo ijọba Ahaswerusi, ni Hamani wá ọ̀na lati parun, ani awọn enia Mordekai.

⁶ And he thought scorn to lay hands on Mordecai alone; for they had shewed him the people of Mordecai: wherefore Haman sought to destroy all the Jews that were throughout the whole kingdom of Ahasuerus, even the people of Mordecai.

⁷ Li oṣù kini, eyinì ni oṣù Nisani, li ọdun kejila ijọba Ahaswerusi, nwọn da purimu, eyinì ni, ìbo, niwaju Hamani, lati ọjọ de ọjọ, ati lati oṣù de oṣù lọ ide oṣù kejila, eyinì ni oṣù Adari.

⁷ In the first month, that is, the month Nisan, in the twelfth year of king Ahasuerus, they cast Pur, that is, the lot, before Haman from day to day, and from month to month, to the twelfth month, that is, the month Adar.

⁸ Hamani si sọ fun Ahaswerusi ọba pe, awọn enia kan fọn kakiri, nwọn si tuka lãrin awọn enia ni gbogbo ìgberiko ijọba rẹ, ofin wọn si yatọ si ti gbogbo enia; bẹ̃ni nwọn kò si pa ofin ọba mọ́; nitorina kò yẹ fun ọba lati da wọn si.

⁸ And Haman said unto king Ahasuerus, There is a certain people scattered abroad and dispersed among the people in all the provinces of thy kingdom; and their laws are diverse from all people; neither keep they the king's laws: therefore it is not for the king's profit to suffer them.

⁹ Bi o ba wù ọba, jẹ ki a kọwe rẹ̀ pe, ki a run wọn: emi o si wọ̀n ẹgbãrun talenti fadaka fun awọn ti a fi iṣẹ na rán, ki nwọn ki o le mu u wá sinu ile iṣura ọba.

⁹ If it please the king, let it be written that they may be destroyed: and I will pay ten thousand talents of silver to the hands of those that have the charge of the business, to bring it into the king's treasuries.

¹⁰ Ọba si bọ́ oruka rẹ̀ kuro li ọwọ rẹ̀, o si fi fun Hamani, ọmọ Medata, ara Agagi, ọta awọn Ju.

¹⁰ And the king took his ring from his hand, and gave it unto Haman the son of Hammedatha the Agagite, the Jews' enemy.

¹¹ Ọba si wi fun Hamani pe, a fi fadaka na bùn ọ, ati awọn enia na pẹlu, lati fi wọn ṣe bi o ti dara loju rẹ.

¹¹ And the king said unto Haman, The silver is given to thee, the people also, to do with them as it seemeth good to thee.

¹² Nigbana li a pè awọn akọwe ọba ni ọjọ kẹtala, oṣù kini, a si kọwe gẹgẹ bi gbogbo ohun ti Hamani ti pa li aṣẹ fun awọn bãlẹ ọba, ati fun awọn onidajọ ti o njẹ olori gbogbo ìgberiko, ati fun awọn olori olukuluku enia ìgberiko gbogbo, gẹgẹ bi ikọwe rẹ̀, ati fun olukuluku enià gẹgẹ bi ède rẹ̀, li orukọ Ahaswerusi ọba li a kọ ọ, a si fi oruka ọba ṣe edidi rẹ̀.

¹² Then were the king's scribes called on the thirteenth day of the first month, and there was written according to all that Haman had commanded unto the king's lieutenants, and to the governors that were over every province, and to the rulers of every people of every province according to the writing thereof, and to every people after their language; in the name of king Ahasuerus was it written, and sealed with the king's ring.

¹³ A si fi iwe na rán awọn òjiṣẹ si gbogbo ìgberiko ọba, lati parun, lati pa, ati lati mu ki gbogbo enia Juda, ati ọ̀dọ ati arugbo, awọn ọmọde, ati awọn obinrin ki o ṣegbe ni ọjọ kan, ani li ọjọ kẹtala, oṣù kejila, ti iṣe oṣù Adari, ati lati kó ohun iní wọn fun ijẹ.

¹³ And the letters were sent by posts into all the king's provinces, to destroy, to kill, and to cause to perish, all Jews, both young and old, little children and women, in one day, even upon the thirteenth day of the twelfth month, which is the month Adar, and to take the spoil of them for a prey.

¹⁴ Ọ̀ran iwe na ni lati paṣẹ ni gbogbo igberiko, lati kede rẹ̀ fun gbogbo enia, ki nwọn ki o le mura de ọjọ na.

¹⁴ The copy of the writing for a commandment to be given in every province was published unto all people, that they should be ready against that day.

¹⁵ Awọn ojiṣẹ na jade lọ, nwọn si yara, nitori aṣẹ ọba ni, a si pa aṣẹ na ni Ṣuṣani ãfin. Ati ọba ati Hamani joko lati mu ọti; ṣugbọn ilu Ṣuṣani dãmu.

¹⁵ The posts went out, being hastened by the king's commandment, and the decree was given in Shushan the palace. And the king and Haman sat down to drink; but the city Shushan was perplexed.
