Esther 4
1 But Mardochaeus having perceived what was done, tore his garments, and put on sackcloth, and sprinkled dust upon himself; and having rushed forth through the open street of the city, he cried with a loud voice, A nation that has done no wrong is going to be destroyed.
Tango Maridoshe ayokaki makambo nyonso oyo elekaki, apasolaki bilamba na ye; alataki saki, amipakolaki putulu mpe atambolaki kati na engumba na koganga makasi mpe na mawa.
2 And he came to the king's gate, and stood; for it was not lawful for him to enter into the palace, wearing sackcloth and ashes.
Bongo akendeki kino na liboso ya ekuke ya ndako ya mokonzi; pamba te moto moko te, wana alati saki lokola elamba, azalaki na ndingisa ya kokota na ekuke ya mokonzi.
3 And in every province where the letters were published, [there was] crying and lamentation and great mourning on the part of the Jews: they spread for themselves sackcloth and ashes.
Kati na bituka nyonso epai wapi mitindo mpe mobeko ya mokonzi ezalaki kokoma, matanga monene ezalaki kati na Bayuda: bazalaki kokila bilei, kolela mpe koganga ya mawa; ebele bazalaki komitanda na basaki mpe na putulu.
4 And the queen's maids and chamberlains went in and told her: and when she had heard what was done, she was disturbed; and she sent to clothe Mardochaeus, and take away his sackcloth; but he consented not.
Tango basi bawumbu ya Ester, mwasi ya Mokonzi, mpe basoda na ye, oyo baboma bango mokongo, bayebisaki Ester makambo oyo Maridoshe asalaki, Ester amitungisaki makasi. Atindelaki Maridoshe bilamba mpo ete alata yango mpe alongola basaki oyo alataki, kasi Maridoshe aboyaki.
5 So Esther called for her chamberlain Achrathaeus, who waited upon her; and she sent to learn the truth from Mardochaeus.
Ester abengisaki Ataki, moko kati na bakalaka ya lokumu, oyo baboma mokongo mpe mokonzi aponaki mpo na kosalela Ester; atindaki ye mpo na koyeba likambo oyo ezali kotungisa Maridoshe mpe tina nini azali komitungisa.
Boye Ataki akendeki epai ya Maridoshe na etando ya engumba, epai wapi bato ebele bakutanaka, liboso ya ekuke ya ndako ya mokonzi.
7 And Mardochaeus showed him what was done, and the promise which Aman had made the king of ten thousand talents [to be paid] into the treasury, that he might destroy the Jews.
Maridoshe ayebisaki ye makambo nyonso oyo ekomelaki ye, ata motuya ya mbongo oyo Amani alakaki kopesa na libenga ya bomengo ya mokonzi mpo ete baboma Bayuda.
8 Also he gave him the copy of the writing of the decree that was given at Shushan to destroy them, to shew [it] unto Esther, and to declare [it] unto her, and to charge her that she should go in unto the king, to make supplication unto him, and to make request before him for her people.
Maridoshe apesaki lisusu Ataki mokanda ya mobeko oyo mokonzi abimisaki, mpo ete ye Ataki alakisa yango epai ya Ester, alimbolela ye yango mpe akomisa epai ya Ester mitindo na ye ete Ester akende epai ya mokonzi mpo na kotungisa ye mpe kobondela mawa ya mokonzi mpo na bato na ye Ester; pamba te mokonzi asili kobimisa mobeko ya koboma Bayuda mpe sango na yango esili kopanzana kati na engumba Size.
9 So Achrathaeus went in and told her all these words.
Tango Ataki azongaki mpe ayebisaki Ester makambo oyo Maridoshe alobaki,
10 And Esther said to Achrathaeus, Go to Mardochaeus, and say,
Ester atindaki lisusu Ataki koloba na Maridoshe:
11 All the nations of the empire know, that whoever, man or woman, shall go in to the king into the inner court uncalled, that person can’t live: only to whoever the king shall stretch out [his] golden sceptre, he shall live: and I have not been called to go into the king, for these thirty days.
— Bakalaka nyonso ya mokonzi mpe bato ya bituka nyonso ya mokili ya mokonzi bayebi ete, kolanda mobeko, moto nyonso, azala mobali to mwasi, oyo akoti na lopango ya kati ya ndako ya mokonzi asengeli na kufa soki mokonzi abengisi ye te; mpe mobeko yango ezali kaka moko mpo na bato nyonso. Nzokande soki mokonzi asemboli epai ya moto yango lingenda ya wolo ya bokonzi na ye, akotikala na bomoi. Ngai sik’oyo, eleki mikolo tuku misato wuta babenga ngai mpo na kokende epai ya mokonzi; wuta mikolo wana, babenga ngai lisusu te.
12 And Achrathaeus reported to Mardochaeus all the words of Esther.
Tango bayebisaki Maridoshe makambo oyo Ester alobaki,
13 Then Mardochaeus said to Achrathaeus, Go, and say to her, Esther, say not to yourself that you alone will escape in the kingdom, more than all the [other] Jews.
Maridoshe azongiselaki Ester: — Kokanisa te ete lokola ozali kati na ndako ya mokonzi, yo moko kaka nde okobika kati na Bayuda nyonso.
14 For if you shall refuse to listen on this occasion, help and protection will be to the Jews from another quarter; but you and your father's house will perish: and who knows, if you have been made queen for this [very] occasion?
Pamba te soki yo okangi monoko na yo mpe olobi eloko moko te na tango oyo, lisungi mpe lobiko mpo na Bayuda ekowuta na esika mosusu; kasi yo mpe libota ya botata na yo, bokokufa. Kutu, nani ayebi soki tango mosusu ezali mpo na makambo ya boye nde okomaki na ndako ya mokonzi?
15 And Esther sent the [man] that came to her to Mardochaeus, saying,
Ester atindelaki Maridoshe eyano oyo:
16 Go and assemble the Jews that are in Susa, and fast you for me, and eat not and drink not for three days, night and day: and I also and my maidens will fast; and then I will go in to the king contrary to the law, even if I must die.
— Kende kosangisa Bayuda nyonso oyo bazali na engumba Size. Bokila bilei mikolo misato mpo na ngai; butu mpe moyi, bolia mpe bomela eloko te. Ngai mpe nakokila bilei elongo na basi bawumbu na ngai ndenge moko na bino. Sima na yango kaka nde nakokende epai ya mokonzi atako nakobuka mobeko. Soki mpe nakokufa, nakufa kaka!
17 So Mardochaeus went and did all that Esther commanded him.
Maridoshe akendeki mpe asalaki makambo nyonso oyo Ester atindaki ye.
