Esther 8
1 That same day King Xerxes awarded Queen Esther the estate of Haman, the enemy of the Jews. And Mordecai entered the king’s presence because Esther had revealed his relation to her.
Iti dayta nga aldaw, inted ni Ari Ahasuero kenni Reyna Ester ti sanikua ni Haman, a kabusor dagiti Judio. Ken nangrugi a nagserbi ni Mardokeo iti ari, ta imbagan ni Ester no ania ti pakainaigan ni Mardokeo kenkuana.
2 The king removed the signet ring he had recovered from Haman and presented it to Mordecai. And Esther appointed Mordecai over the estate of Haman.
Inuksot ti ari ti singsingna nga adda pagseliona, a binabawina manipud kenni Haman, ket intedna daytoy kenni Mardokeo. Dinutokan ni Ester ni Madokeo a mangimaton iti sanikua ni Haman.
3 And once again, Esther addressed the king. She fell at his feet weeping and begged him to revoke the evil scheme of Haman the Agagite, which he had devised against the Jews.
Kalpasanna, nakisarita manen ni Ester iti ari. Nagpakleb isuna iti daga ken nagsangit kabayatan ti panangpakpakaasina kenkuana tapno gibusenna ti dakes a panggep ni Haman a kaputotan ni Agag, ti gandat nga insaganana a maibusor kadagiti Judio.
4 The king extended the gold scepter toward Esther, and she arose and stood before the king.
Ket inturong ti ari ti balitok a setro kenni Ester; bimmangon isuna ken nagtakder iti sangoanan ti ari.
5 “If it pleases the king,” she said, “and if I have found favor in his sight, and the matter seems proper to the king, and I am pleasing in his sight, may an order be written to revoke the letters that the scheming Haman son of Hammedatha, the Agagite, wrote to destroy the Jews in all the king’s provinces.
Kinunana, “No makaayo daytoy iti ari, ken no nakasarakak iti pabor iti panagkitam, no ti banag ket agparang a nalinteg iti sangoanan ti ari, ken no makaay-ayoak kadagiti matam, palubosam a maysa a bilin ti maipaulog iti nagan ti ari a mangwaswas kadagiti surat nga insurat ni Haman nga anak a lalaki ni Hamedata nga Agagita, dagiti surat nga insuratna tapno dadaelenna dagiti Judio nga adda kadagiti amin a probinsia ti ari.
6 For how could I bear to see the disaster that would befall my people? How could I bear to see the destruction of my kindred?”
Ta kasano a maituredko a kitaen ti didigra a mapasamak kadagiti tattaok? Kasano a maibturak a buyaen ti pannakadadael dagiti kakabagiak?”
7 So King Xerxes said to Esther the Queen and Mordecai the Jew, “Behold, I have given Haman’s estate to Esther, and he was hanged on the gallows because he attacked the Jews.
Kinuna ni Ari Ahasuero kenni Reyna Ester ken kenni Mardokeo a Judio, “Kitaenyo, intedkon kenni Ester ti balay ni Haman, ken imbitinda isuna iti pagbitayan, gapu ta rautenna koma dagiti Judio.
8 Now you may write in the king’s name as you please regarding the Jews, and seal it with the royal signet ring. For a decree that is written in the name of the king and sealed with the royal signet ring cannot be revoked.”
Mangisuratkayo iti sabali a bilin a maipaulog iti nagan ti ari para kadagiti Judio, ken deppelanyo daytoy iti selio babaen iti singsing ti ari. Ta ti bilin a naipaulog iti nagan ti ari a naisuraten ken nadeppelanen iti selio babaen iti singsing ti ari ket saanen a mabalin a mawaswas.”
9 At once the royal scribes were summoned, and on the twenty-third day of the third month (the month of Sivan ), they recorded all of Mordecai’s orders to the Jews and to the satraps, governors, and princes of the 127 provinces from India to Cush —writing to each province in its own script, to every people in their own language, and to the Jews in their own script and language.
Kalpasanna, naayaban dagiti eskriba ti ari iti dayta a kanito, iti maikatallo a bulan, nga isu ti bulan ti Sivan, iti maika-23 nga aldaw ti bulan. Maysa a bilin ti naipaulog iti nagan ti ari ti naisurat a naglaon iti amin nga imbilbilin ni Mardokeo maipapan kadagiti Judio. Naisurat daytoy para kadagiti gobernador dagiti probinsia, kadagiti gobernador ken kadagiti opisial dagiti probinsia a masarakan manipud idiay India agingga idiay Etiopia, kadagiti 127 a probinsia, iti tunggal probinsia a naisurat iti bukodda a panagsurat, ken kadagiti tribu dagiti tattao iti pagsasaoda, ken kadagiti Judio kadagiti bukodda a panagsurat ken pagsasao.
10 Mordecai wrote in the name of King Xerxes and sealed it with the royal signet ring. He sent the documents by mounted couriers riding on swift horses bred from the royal mares.
Nangisurat ni Mardokeo iti nagan ni Ari Ahasuero ken dineppelanna daytoy iti singsing ti ari a pagselio. Impatulodna dagiti surat babaen kadagiti para itulod kadagiti surat nga agluglugan kadagiti napapartak a kabalio a nausar para iti panagserbi iti ari, a naiyanak manipud iti kuadra ti ari.
11 By these letters the king permitted the Jews in each and every city the right to assemble and defend themselves, to destroy, kill, and annihilate all the forces of any people or province hostile to them, including women and children, and to plunder their possessions.
Inted ti ari kadagiti Judio nga adda iti tunggal siudad ti pammalubos nga aguummong ken agkaykaysa a mangsalakib kadagiti biagda; a mangkisap, mangpapatay, ken mangdadael iti aniaman nga armada manipud kadagiti aniaman a tattao wenno probinsia a mabalin a mangraut kadakuada, kadagiti annakda, agraman kadagiti babbai, wenno kadagiti mangtakaw kadagiti sanikuada.
12 The single day appointed throughout all the provinces of King Xerxes was the thirteenth day of the twelfth month, the month of Adar.
Maipatungpal daytoy kadagiti amin a probinsia ni Ari Ahasuero, iti maika-13 nga aldaw ti maika-12 a bulan, nga isu ti bulan ti Adar.
13 A copy of the text of the edict was to be issued in every province and published to all the people, so that the Jews would be ready on that day to avenge themselves on their enemies.
Ti kopia ti bilin a naipaulog iti nagan ti ari ket maited a kas linteg ken maipablaak kadagiti amin a tattao. Masapul a sisasagana dagiti Judio nga agibales kadagiti kabusorda iti dayta nga aldaw.
14 The couriers rode out in haste on their royal horses, pressed on by the command of the king. And the edict was also issued in the citadel of Susa.
Isu a naglugan dagiti para itulod kadagiti surat kadagiti kabalio ti ari a maus-usar iti panagserbi iti ari. Napanda nga awan taktakna. Ti bilin a naipaulog iti nagan ti ari ket naited met manipud iti palasio idiay Susa.
15 Mordecai went out from the presence of the king in royal garments of blue and white, with a large gold crown and a purple robe of fine linen. And the city of Susa shouted and rejoiced.
Kalpasanna, pimmanaw ni Mardokeo iti imatang ti ari a nakakawes iti naarian a pagan-anay nga asul ken puraw, nga addaan iti nadayag a korona a balitok ken maris-ube a kagay a naaramid iti kasasayaatan a lino. Ket nagpukkaw ken nagragsak ti siudad ti Susa.
16 For the Jews it was a time of light and gladness, of joy and honor.
Naaddaan dagiti Judio iti lawag ken kinaragsak, rag-o ken dayaw.
17 In every province and every city, wherever the king’s edict and decree reached, there was joy and gladness among the Jews, with feasting and celebrating. And many of the people of the land themselves became Jews, because the fear of the Jews had fallen upon them.
Kadagiti amin a probinsia ken kadagiti amin a siudad, sadinoman a nakadanonan ti bilin a naipaulog iti nagan ti ari, adda iti kinaragsak ken rag-o kadagiti Judio, padaya ken piesta. Adu kadagiti nadumaduma a tattao iti daga ti nagbalin a Judio, gapu ta ti panagbuteng dagiti Judio ket nagdissuor kadakuada.
