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.
Kaka na mokolo yango, mokonzi Kizerisesi apesaki Ester, mwasi ya mokonzi, biloko ya Amani, monguna ya Bayuda. Mpe lokola Ester ayebisaki mokonzi ete Maridoshe azali ndeko na ye, mokonzi abengaki Maridoshe mpe Maridoshe akendeki liboso ya mokonzi.
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.
Mokonzi alongolaki lopete na ye oyo abotolaki epai ya Amani mpe apesaki yango epai ya Maridoshe. Bongo Ester atiaki Maridoshe mokambi ya biloko ya Amani.
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.
Ester alobaki lisusu na mokonzi; amibwakaki na makolo na ye mpe abondelaki ye na kolela ete asukisa mikano mabe ya Amani, moto ya Agagi, mpe mabongisi na ye ya koboma Bayuda.
4 The king extended the gold scepter toward Esther, and she arose and stood before the king.
Mokonzi asembolaki lingenda ya wolo ya bokonzi na ye epai ya Ester. Bongo Ester alamukaki mpe atelemaki liboso na ye.
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.
Ester alobaki: — Soki esepelisi mokonzi, soki nazwi ngolu na miso ya mokonzi, soki akanisi ete ezali sembo mpo na ye kosala mpe soki asepeli na ngai, tika ete mobeko ekomama mpo na kokweyisa mikano ya Amani, mwana mobali ya Amedata, moto ya Agagi, oyo ebongisamaki mpe ekomamaki mpo na koboma Bayuda kati na bituka nyonso ya mokonzi.
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?”
Ndenge nini ngai nakoki komona pasi kokweyela bato na ngai to komona kobebisama ya libota na ngai?
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.
Mokonzi Kizerisesi azongiselaki Ester, mwasi na ye, mpe Maridoshe, Moyuda: — Lokola Amani abundisaki Bayuda, ngai napesi ndako na ye epai ya Ester; mpe napesi mitindo mpo ete badiembika ye na nzete.
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.”
Sik’oyo, koma mobeko mosusu na tina na Bayuda, na kombo ya mokonzi, ndenge okomona malamu mpe beta yango kashe ya mokonzi; pamba te mokanda oyo ekomami na kombo ya mokonzi mpe babeti yango kashe na ye ekoki kobongwana te.
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.
Na tango wana kaka, na mokolo ya tuku mibale na misato ya sanza ya misato, sanza ya Sivani, babengisaki bakomi mikanda ya mokonzi. Makambo nyonso oyo Maridoshe atindaki mpo na Bayuda, bakomelaki yango bayangeli ya bituka, bayangeli mpe bakalaka ya bituka nyonso, longwa na Ende kino na Kushi, bituka nkama moko na tuku mibale na sambo, ekolo moko na moko kolanda lokota na yango, etuka moko na moko kolanda ndenge na yango ya kokoma mpe Bayuda kolanda ndenge na bango ya kokoma mpe lokota na bango.
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.
Maridoshe akomaki mikanda na kombo ya mokonzi Kizerisesi, abetaki yango kashe ya mokonzi mpe atindaki yango na nzela ya bantoma oyo batambolaka na bampunda ya mbangu, oyo etiama mpo na misala ya mokonzi.
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.
Na nzela ya mobeko yango, mokonzi apesaki Bayuda ya bingumba nyonso ndingisa ya kosangana mpo na komibatela, kobundisa, koboma mpe kobebisa mampinga ya ekolo nyonso to etuka nyonso oyo ekoluka kobundisa bango, basi na bango to bana na bango; mpe ndingisa ya kobotola na makasi bozwi ya banguna na bango.
12 The single day appointed throughout all the provinces of King Xerxes was the thirteenth day of the twelfth month, the month of Adar.
Bongo, mokolo ya zomi na misato ya sanza ya zomi na mibale, sanza ya Adari, ezalaki mokolo oyo Bayuda bakataki mpo na kokokisa yango kati na bituka nyonso ya mokonzi Kizerisesi.
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.
Basengelaki kopanza sango ya mokanda wana mpo ete ezalaki na bokonzi ya mobeko kati na etuka moko na moko, mpe basengelaki koyebisa yango na bato ya bikolo nyonso mpo ete Bayuda bakoka kozala ya kobongama na mokolo wana mpo na kozongisela banguna na bango mabe na mabe.
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.
Na etinda ya mokonzi, bantoma oyo batambolaka na mpunda ya mokonzi babimaki na lombangu mpe bapanzaki sango ya mobeko yango kati na engumba Size.
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.
Maridoshe alongwaki liboso ya mokonzi, na bilamba ya bokonzi ya langi ya ble mpe ya pembe, na motole monene ya wolo mpe na nzambala ya motane makasi ya lino ya kitoko. Engumba mobimba ya Size ezalaki koganga na esengo mpe ezalaki kosepela.
16 For the Jews it was a time of light and gladness, of joy and honor.
Ezalaki tango ya kosepela mpe ya esengo, tango ya feti mpe ya lokumu mpo na Bayuda.
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.
Kati na bituka nyonso, bingumba nyonso mpe bisika nyonso oyo bazwaki sango ya mobeko ya mokonzi, ezalaki tango ya esengo, ya kosepela, ya kolia mpe ya feti kati na Bayuda. Bato ebele ya bikolo mosusu, oyo bazalaki elongo na bango kati na mboka bamikomisaki Bayuda; pamba te somo ya Bayuda elongaki makanisi na bango.
