Esther 8
1 On that day king, Artaxerxes gave the house of Haman, the adversary of the Jews, to queen Esther, and Mordecai entered before the king. For Esther had confessed to him that he was her paternal uncle.
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 the ring, which he had ordered to be taken from Haman, and he handed it to Mordecai. And Esther appointed Mordecai over her house.
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 Not content with these things, she threw herself down at the king’s feet and wept, and, speaking to him, pleaded that he would give orders that the malice of Haman the Agagite, and his most wicked schemes, which he had contrived against the Jews, would be made ineffective.
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 But he, as was the custom, extended the golden scepter with his hand, which was the sign of clemency, and she rose up and stood before him.
Ket inturong ti ari ti balitok a setro kenni Ester; bimmangon isuna ken nagtakder iti sangoanan ti ari.
5 And she said, “If it pleases the king, and if I have found favor in his eyes, and my request is not seen to be disagreeable to him, I beg you that the former letters of Haman, the traitor and enemy of the Jews, by which he instructed them to be destroyed in all the king’s provinces, may be corrected by new letters.
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 will I be able to endure the murder and execution 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 And king Artaxerxes answered Esther the queen and Mordecai the Jew, “I have granted Haman’s house to Esther, and I have ordered him to be fastened to a cross, because he dared to lay hands 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 Therefore, write to the Jews, just as it pleases you, in the king’s name, sealing the letters with my ring.” For this was the custom, that letters which were sent in the king’s name and were sealed with his ring, no one would dare to contradict.
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 the scribes and copyists were brought in, (now it was the time of the third month which is called Sivan, ) on the twenty-third day of the month, and letters were written, as Mordecai wanted, to the Jews, and to the governors, and procurators, and judges, who presided over the one hundred twenty-seven provinces, from India all the way to Ethiopia: to one province and another, to one people and another, in accordance with their languages and letters, and to the Jews, exactly as they were able to read and hear.
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 And these letters, which were sent in the king’s name, had been signed with his ring, and were sent by swift couriers who were to rush in every direction, through all the provinces, so as to prevent the former letters with new messages.
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 The king commanded them to bring together the Jews throughout each city, and to instruct them to join together, so as to make a stand for their lives, and to execute and destroy all their enemies, with their wives and children and their entire houses, and to plunder their spoil.
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 And one day of retribution was established throughout all the provinces, namely, the thirteenth of the twelfth 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 And such was the content of the letter, so that it would be made known in all lands and nations, which are subject to the authority of king Artaxerxes, that the Jews have been made ready to be vindicated of 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 And so the swift couriers departed in haste, carrying through the announcement, and the king’s edict was hung up in 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 But Mordecai, going forth from the palace and from the king’s presence, shone in royal apparel the color of hyacinth and of the sky, wearing a golden crown on his head, and clothed with a cloak of silk and purple. And all the city rejoiced and was joyful.
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 But for the Jews, a new light seemed to rise; there was joy, honor, and dancing.
Naaddaan dagiti Judio iti lawag ken kinaragsak, rag-o ken dayaw.
17 With all the peoples, cities, and provinces, wherever the king’s orders arrived, there was wonderful rejoicing, banquets and feasts, and a solemn holy day, so much so that many of the other nations joined themselves to their religious practices and ceremonies. For a great fear of the name of the Jews had overcome them all.
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.
