ಎಸ್ತೇರಳು 3:1-14

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

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

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

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 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 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 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.

1 ಈ ಕಾರ್ಯಗಳಾದ ತರುವಾಯ ಅರಸನಾದ ಅಹಷ್ವೇರೋಷನು ಅಗಾಗ್ಯನಾದ ಹಮ್ಮೆದಾತನ ಮಗನಾದ ಹಾಮಾನನನ್ನು ದೊಡ್ಡವ ನಾಗಿ ಮಾಡಿ ಅವನನ್ನು ಎತ್ತಿ ತನ್ನ ಬಳಿಯಲ್ಲಿರುವ ಸಮಸ್ತ ಪ್ರಧಾನರಿಗಿಂತ ಅವನ ಆಸನವನ್ನು ಉನ್ನತ ಮಾಡಿದನು.
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 ಆದಕಾರಣ ಅರಮನೆಯ ಬಾಗಲ ಲ್ಲಿರುವ ಅರಸನ ಸಮಸ್ತ ಸೇವಕರು ಬೊಗ್ಗಿ ಹಾಮಾನ ನಿಗೆ ಅಡ್ಡಬಿದ್ದರು. ಅರಸನು ಅವನನ್ನು ಕುರಿತು ಹಾಗೆಯೇ ಆಜ್ಞಾಪಿಸಿದ್ದನು, ಆದರೆ ಮೊರ್ದೆಕೈ ಬೊಗ್ಗದೆ ಅಡ್ಡಬೀಳದೆ ಇದ್ದನು.
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 ಆಗ ಅರಮನೆಯ ಬಾಗಲಲ್ಲಿರುವ ಅರಸನ ಸೇವಕರು ಮೊರ್ದೆಕೈಗೆ ನೀನು ಅರಸನ ಆಜ್ಞೆಯನ್ನು ವಿಾರುವದೇನು ಅಂದರು.
Then the king’s servants, which were in the king’s gate, said unto Mordecai, Why transgressest thou the king’s commandment?

4 ಆದರೆ ಅವರು ದಿನ ದಿನ ಅವನಿಗೆ ಹೇಳಿದಾಗ್ಯೂ ಅವನು ಅವರ ಮಾತು ಕೇಳದೆ ಹೋದದರಿಂದ ಅವರು ಮೊರ್ದೆಕೈಯ ಮಾತುಗಳು ನಿಲ್ಲುವವೋ ಎಂದು ನೋಡಿಕೊಳ್ಳಲು ಹಾಮಾನನಿಗೆ ತಿಳಿಸಿದರು. ಯಾಕಂದರೆ ತಾನು ಯೆಹೂದ್ಯನೆಂದು ಅವರಿಗೆ ಹೇಳಿದ್ದನು.
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 ಮೊರ್ದೆಕೈ ತನಗೆ ಬೊಗ್ಗದೆ ಅಡ್ಡ ಬೀಳದೆ ಇರು ವದನ್ನು ಹಾಮಾನನು ನೋಡಿ ಕೋಪವುಳ್ಳವ ನಾದನು.
And when Haman saw that Mordecai bowed not, nor did him reverence, then was Haman full of wrath.

6 ಆದರೆ ಮೊರ್ದೆಕೈಯ ಮೇಲೆ ಮಾತ್ರ ಕೈ ಹಾಕುವದು ಅವನಿಗೆ ಅಲ್ಪವಾಗಿ ತೋರಿತು. ಯಾಕಂದರೆ ಅವರು ಮೊರ್ದೆಕೈ ಜನವನ್ನು ಅವನಿಗೆ ತೋರಿಸಿದ್ದರು. ಆದದರಿಂದ ಹಾಮಾನನು ಅಹಷ್ವೇರೋಷನ ಸಮಸ್ತ ರಾಜ್ಯದಲ್ಲಿರುವ ಮೊರ್ದೆಕೈಯ ಜನವಾದ ಯೆಹೂದ್ಯರನ್ನೆಲ್ಲಾ ನಾಶಮಾಡಲು ಯೋಚಿ ಸಿದನು.
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 ಅರಸನಾದ ಅಹಷ್ವೇರೋಷನ ಹನ್ನೆರಡನೆ ವರುಷದಲ್ಲಿ ನೀಸಾನ್‌ ಎಂಬ ಮೊದಲನೇ ತಿಂಗಳಲ್ಲಿ ಹಾಮಾನನ ಮುಂದೆ ಪೂರ್‌ ಎಂಬ ಚೀಟನ್ನು ದಿನ ದಿನಕ್ಕೂ ತಿಂಗಳು ತಿಂಗಳಿಗೂ ಅಡಾರ್‌ ಎಂಬ ಹನ್ನೆರಡನೆ ತಿಂಗಳ ವರೆಗೆ ಹಾಕಿದರು.
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 ಆಗ ಹಾಮಾ ನನು ಅರಸನಾದ ಅಹಷ್ವೇರೋಷನಿಗೆ ಹೇಳಿ ದ್ದೇನಂದರೆ--ನಿನ್ನ ರಾಜ್ಯದ ಸಕಲ ಪ್ರಾಂತ್ಯಗಳಲ್ಲಿರುವ ಜನರೊಳಗೆ ಚದುರಿಸಲ್ಪಟ್ಟು ವ್ಯಾಪಿಸಿರುವ ಜನರಿ ದ್ದಾರೆ. ಅವರ ನ್ಯಾಯ ಪ್ರಮಾಣಗಳು ಸಕಲ ಜನರಿಗೆ ಪ್ರತಿಕೂಲವಾಗಿವೆ. ಅವರು ಅರಸನ ಆಜ್ಞೆಗಳನ್ನು ಕೈಕೊಳ್ಳುವದಿಲ್ಲ. ಆದಕಾರಣ ಅವರನ್ನು ಇರಗೊಡಿ ಸುವದು ಅರಸನ ಪ್ರಯೋಜನಕ್ಕೆ ತಕ್ಕದ್ದಲ್ಲ.
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 ಅದು ಅರಸನಿಗೆ ಸಮ್ಮತಿಯಾದರೆ ಅವರು ಸಂಹರಿಸಲ್ಪಡುವ ಹಾಗೆ ಬರೆಯಲ್ಪಡಲಿ. ಆಗ ನಾನು ಅರಸನ ಬೊಕ್ಕಸಕ್ಕೆ ತರುವದಕ್ಕೆ ಈ ಕೆಲಸ ಮಾಡುವವರ ಕೈಗಳಲ್ಲಿ ಹತ್ತು ಸಾವಿರ ಬೆಳ್ಳಿಯ ತಲಾಂತುಗಳನ್ನು ಕೊಡು ವೆನು ಅಂದನು.
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 ಆಗ ಅರಸನು ತನ್ನ ಕೈಯಲ್ಲಿದ್ದ ಉಂಗುರವನ್ನು ತೆಗೆದು ಯೆಹೂದ್ಯರ ವೈರಿಯಾದ ಅಗಾಗನಾದ ಹಮ್ಮೆದಾತನ ಮಗನಾದ ಹಾಮಾನನಿಗೆ ಕೊಟ್ಟನು.
And the king took his ring from his hand, and gave it unto Haman the son of Hammedatha the Agagite, the Jews’ enemy.

11 ಅರಸನು ಹಾಮಾನನಿಗೆ, ಬೆಳ್ಳಿಯನ್ನೂ ಆ ಜನವನ್ನೂ ನಿನಗೆ ಸರಿಯಾಗಿ ತೋರುವ ಹಾಗೆ ಅವರಿಗೆ ಮಾಡುವದಕ್ಕೆ ನಿನ್ನ ಕೈಯಲ್ಲಿ ಅವು ಒಪ್ಪಿಸ ಲ್ಪಟ್ಟಿವೆ ಅಂದನು.
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 ಆಗ ಮೊದಲನೇ ತಿಂಗಳ ಹದಿಮೂರನೇ ದಿವಸದಲ್ಲಿ ಅರಸನ ಲೇಖಕರು ಕರೆಯಲ್ಪಟ್ಟರು. ಹಾಮಾನನು ಆಜ್ಞಾಪಿಸಿದ ಎಲ್ಲಾದರ ಪ್ರಕಾರ ಪ್ರತಿ ಪ್ರಾಂತ್ಯದ ಮೇಲಿರುವ ಅರಸನ ಕೈ ಕೆಳಗಿನ ಉಪ ರಾಜರುಗಳಿಗೂ ಅಧಿಪತಿಗಳಿಗೂ ಪ್ರತಿ ಪ್ರಾಂತ್ಯದಲ್ಲಿ ಜನರ ಮೇಲಿರುವ ಅಧಿಕಾರಿಗೂ ಅದರದರ ಬರಹದ ಪ್ರಕಾರವಾಗಿಯೂ ಜನರ ಪ್ರತಿಯೊಬ್ಬರ ಭಾಷೆಯ ಪ್ರಕಾರವಾಗಿಯೂ ಬರೆಯಲ್ಪಟ್ಟಿತು. ಅದು ಅರಸನಾದ ಅಹಷ್ವೇರೋಷನ ಹೆಸರಿನಲ್ಲಿ ಬರೆಯಲ್ಪಟ್ಟು ಅರಸನ ಉಂಗುರದಿಂದ ಮುದ್ರೆ ಹಾಕಲ್ಪಟ್ಟಿತು.
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 ಒಂದೇ ದಿನದಲ್ಲಿ ಅಂದರೆ ಅಡಾರ್‌ ತಿಂಗಳೆಂಬ ಹನ್ನೆರಡನೇ ತಿಂಗಳ ಹದಿಮೂರನೇ ದಿನದಲ್ಲಿ ಹಿರಿಯರೂ ಕಿರಿಯರೂ ಮಕ್ಕಳೂ ಸ್ತ್ರೀಯರೂ ಸಹಿತವಾಗಿ ಎಲ್ಲಾ ಯೆಹೂದ್ಯರನ್ನು ಸಂಹರಿಸುವದಕ್ಕೂ ಕೊಂದುಹಾಕು ವದಕ್ಕೂ ನಾಶಮಾಡುವದಕ್ಕೂ ಅವರ ಆಸ್ತಿಯನ್ನು ಕೊಳ್ಳೆಹೊಡೆಯುವದಕ್ಕೂ ಅರಸನ ಸಮಸ್ತ ಪ್ರಾಂತ್ಯಗಳಿಗೆ ಅಂಚೆಯವರ ಮೂಲಕ ಪತ್ರಿಕೆಗಳು ಕಳುಹಿಸ ಲ್ಪಟ್ಟವು.
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 ಅವರು ಆ ದಿನಕ್ಕೆ ಸಿದ್ಧವಾಗಿರುವ ಹಾಗೆ ಪ್ರತಿ ಪ್ರಾಂತ್ಯದಲ್ಲಿ ಕಟ್ಟಳೆಯಾಗಿ ಬರೆದ ಪತ್ರಿಕೆಯು ಎಲ್ಲಾ ಜನಗಳಿಗೆ ಪ್ರಸಿದ್ಧ ಮಾಡಲ್ಪಟ್ಟಿತು.
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.
