¹On that night sleep fled from the king. And he commanded to bring the book of records of the chronicles; and they were read before the king.

¹[Ny nanandratana an'i Mordekay, sy ny alahelon'i Hamana noho izany] Ary tamin'iny alina iny tsy nahita torimaso ny mpanjaka ka nampaka ny boky fitadidiana ny tantara; ary novakina teo anatrehan'ny mpanjaka izany.

²And it was found written, that Mordecai had told of Bigthana and Teresh, two of the king's chamberlains, keepers of the threshold, who had sought to lay hand on king Ahasuerus.

²Ka, indro, voasoratra fa Mordekay no niampanga an'i Bigtana sy Taresy, roa lahy isan'ny tsindranolahin'1 ny mpanjaka, dia ireo mpiambina teo am-baravarana izay nitady hamono an'i Ahasoerosy mpanjaka.

³And the king said, What honour and dignity has been done to Mordecai for this? And the king's servants that attended upon him said, Nothing has been done for him.

³Ary 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.

⁴And the king said, Who is in the court? Now Haman had come into the outward court of the king's house, to speak to the king to hang Mordecai on the gallows that he had prepared for him.

⁴Ary 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.

⁵And the king's servants said to him, Behold, Haman is standing in the court. And the king said, Let him come in.

⁵Ka hoy ny zatovon'ny mpanjaka taminy: Indro, Hamana no mitsangana ao an-kianja. Ary hoy ny mpanjaka: Asaovy miditra izy.

⁶So Haman came in. And the king said to him, What is to be done with the man whom the king delights to honour? Now Haman thought in his heart, To whom would the king delight to do honour more than to me?

⁶Dia 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?

⁷And Haman answered the king, For the man whom the king delights to honour,

⁷Ka dia hoy Hamana tamin'ny mpanjaka: Ny amin'izay lehilahy tian'ny mpanjaka homem-boninahitra,

⁸let the royal apparel be brought with which the king arrays himself, and the horse that the king rides upon, and on the head of which the royal crown is set;

⁸aoka halaina izay akanjo fiandrianana efa niakanjoan'ny mpanjaka sy soavaly izay efa nitaingenan'ny mpanjaka sady voaisy satro-boninahitra ny lohany;

⁹and let the apparel and horse be delivered into the hand of one of the king's most noble princes, and let them array the man whom the king delights to honour, and cause him to ride on the horse through the street of the city, and proclaim before him, Thus shall it be done to the man whom the king delights to honour!

⁹dia 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.

¹⁰And the king said to Haman, Make haste, take the apparel and the horse, as thou hast said, and do so to Mordecai the Jew, who sits at the king's gate: let nothing fail of all that thou hast said.

¹⁰Dia 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.

¹¹And Haman took the apparel and the horse, and arrayed Mordecai, and caused him to ride through the street of the city, and proclaimed before him, Thus shall it be done to the man whom the king delights to honour!

¹¹Dia 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.

¹²And Mordecai came again to the king's gate. But Haman hasted to his house, mourning and having his head covered.

¹²Ary Mordekay niverina nankeo amin'ny vavahadin'ny mpanjaka; fa Hamana kosa nody faingana ho any an-tranony sady nalahelo no nisaron-doha.

¹³And Haman recounted to Zeresh his wife and to all his friends all that had befallen him. Then said his wise men and Zeresh his wife to him, If Mordecai be of the seed of the Jews, before whom thou hast begun to fall, thou shalt not prevail against him, but wilt certainly fall before him.

¹³Dia 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.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.[Heb. ionoka]

¹⁴While they were yet talking with him, the king's chamberlains came, and hasted to bring Haman to the banquet that Esther had prepared.

¹⁴Ary 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.[Heb. ionoka]
