< Esther 8 >

1 That day the king gave all the family of Haman, the hater of the Jews, to Esther the queen. And Mordecai came before the king, for Esther had made clear what he was 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 And the king took off his ring, which he had taken from Haman, and gave it to Mordecai. And Esther put Mordecai over the family 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 Then Esther again came before the king, falling down at his feet, and made request to him with weeping, that he would put a stop to the evil purposes of Haman the Agagite and the designs which he had made 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 Then the king put out the rod of gold to Esther, and she got up before the king.
Ket inturong ti ari ti balitok a setro kenni Ester; bimmangon isuna ken nagtakder iti sangoanan ti ari.
5 And she said, If it is the king's pleasure and if I have his approval and this thing seems right to the king and I am pleasing to him, then let letters be sent giving orders against those which Haman, the son of Hammedatha the Agagite, sent out for the destruction of the Jews in all divisions of the kingdom:
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 is it possible for me to see the evil which is to overtake my nation? how may I see the destruction of my people?
Ta kasano a maituredko a kitaen ti didigra a mapasamak kadagiti tattaok? Kasano a maibturak a buyaen ti pannakadadael dagiti kakabagiak?”
7 Then King Ahasuerus said to Esther the queen and to Mordecai the Jew, See now, I have given Esther the family of Haman, and he has come to his death by hanging, because he made an attack on 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 So now send a letter about the Jews, writing whatever seems good to you, in the king's name, and stamping it with the king's ring: for a writing signed in the king's name and stamped with the king's ring may not be changed.
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 Then at that time, on the twenty-third day of the third month, which is the month Sivan, the king's scribes were sent for; and everything ordered by Mordecai was put in writing and sent to the Jews and the captains and the rulers and the chiefs of all the divisions of the kingdom from India to Ethiopia, a hundred and twenty-seven divisions, to every division in the writing commonly used there, and to every people in their language, and to the Jews in their writing and their 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 The letters were sent in the name of King Ahasuerus and stamped with his ring, and they were taken by men on horseback, going on the quick-running horses used for the king's business, the offspring of his best horses:
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 In these letters the king gave authority to the Jews in every town to come together and make a fight for their lives, and to send death and destruction on the power of any people in any part of the kingdom attacking them or their children or their women, and to take their goods from them by force,
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 On one day in every division of the kingdom of Ahasuerus, that is, on the thirteenth day of the twelfth month, the month 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 writing, to be made public as an order in every division of the kingdom, was given out to all the peoples, so that the Jews might be ready when that day came to give punishment to their haters.
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 So the men went out on the quick-running horses used on the king's business, wasting no time and forced on by the king's order; and the order was given out in Shushan, the king's town.
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 And Mordecai went out from before the king, dressed in king-like robes of blue and white, and with a great crown of gold and clothing of purple and the best linen: and all the town of Shushan gave loud cries of joy.
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 And the Jews had light and joy and honour.
Naaddaan dagiti Judio iti lawag ken kinaragsak, rag-o ken dayaw.
17 And in every part of the kingdom and in every town, wherever the king's letter and his order came, the Jews were glad with great joy, and had a feast and a good day. And a great number of the people of the land became Jews: for the fear of the Jews had come on 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.
