< Esther 9 >

1 Therefore, on the thirteenth day of the twelfth month, which as we have said before is called Adar, when all the Jews were prepared to be executed and their enemies were greedy for their blood, the situation turned around, and the Jews began to have the upper hand and to vindicate themselves of their adversaries.
Ita, iti maika-12 a bulan, nga isu ti bulan ti Adar, iti maika-13 nga aldaw, idi umadanin ti pannakaipatungpal ti linteg ken bilin a naipaulog iti nagan ti ari, iti aldaw a ninamnama dagiti kabusor dagiti Judio a manggun-odda iti pannakabalin kadakuada, nabaliktad daytoy. Nagun-od dagiti Judio iti pannakabalin kadagiti kabusorda.
2 And they gathered together throughout each city, and town, and place, so as to extend their hands against their enemies and their persecutors. And no one dared to resist them, because their great power had pierced all the peoples.
Nagguummong dagiti Judio kadagiti siudadda iti amin a probinsia ni Ari Ahasuero, tapno ipatayda dagiti imada kadagiti nangpadas a nangiyeg iti didigra kadakuada. Awan ti makalapped kadakuada, ta ti panagbuteng kadagiti Judio ket nagdissuor kadagiti amin a tattao.
3 For even the judges of the provinces, and the rulers, and the procurators, and everyone of dignity, who presided over every place and work, extolled the Jews for fear of Mordecai.
Tinulongan dagiti amin nga opisial kadagiti probinsia, dagiti gobernador iti probinsia, dagiti gobernador, ken dagiti administrador ti ari dagiti Judio gapu ta nagdisuor kadakuada ti panagbuteng kenni Mardokeo.
4 For they knew him to be the leader of the palace and to have much power. Likewise, the fame of his name increased daily and flew everywhere through word of mouth.
Ta mabigbigbig unayen ni Mardokeo iti balay ti ari, ken nagsaknap ti kinalatakna iti amin a probinsia, ta ti lalaki a ni Mardokeo ket bumilbileg.
5 And so the Jews struck their enemies like a great plague and killed them, repaying according to what they had prepared to do to them,
Rinaut dagiti Judio dagiti kabusorda babaen iti kampilan, pinapatay ken dinaddadaelda ida, ken inaramidda ti pakaay-aywanda kadagiti kabusorda.
6 so much so that even in Susa they executed five hundred men, besides the ten sons of Haman the Agagite, the enemy of the Jews, and their names are these:
Iti mismo a sarikedked ti Susa, pinapatay ken dinadael dagiti Judio ti limagasut a lallaki.
7 Parshandatha, and Dalphon, and Aspatha
Pinapatayda da Parsandata, Dalfon, Asfata,
8 and Poratha, and Adalia, and Aridatha,
Porata, Adalia, Aridata,
9 and Parmashta, and Arisai, and Aridai, and Vaizatha.
Parmasta, Arisai, Aridai, Vaizata,
10 When they had slain them, they were unwilling to touch the spoils of their belongings.
ken dagiti sangapulo a putot a lallaki ni Haman a puto a lalaki ni Hamadata, a kabusor dagiti Judio. Ngem saanda a nangsamsam.
11 And immediately the number of those who had been killed in Susa was reported to the king.
Iti dayta nga aldaw, naipadamag iti ari ti bilang dagiti napapatay idiay Susa, ti nasarikedkedan a siudad.
12 He said to the queen, “In the city of Susa, the Jews have executed five hundred men, and also the ten sons of Haman. How many executions do you think that they have carried out in all the provinces? What more do you ask, and what do you wish, so that I may order it to be done?”
Kinuna ti ari kenni Reyna Ester, “Pinapatay dagiti Judio ti limagasut a lallaki idiay siudad ti Susa, agraman dagiti sangapulo a putot a lallaki ni Haman. Ania ngarud ti inaramidda kadagiti dadduma a probinsia ti ari? Ita, ania ti dawatmo? Maipaayto daytoy kenka. Ania ti kiddawmo? Maipaayto daytoy kenka.”
13 And she answered, “If it pleases the king, may power be granted to the Jews, so as to do tomorrow in Susa just as they have done today, and that the ten sons of Haman may be hung up the gallows.”
Kinuna ni Ester, “No makaay-ayo daytoy iti ari, mapalubosan koma dagiti Judio nga adda idiay Susa nga aramidenda daytoy a bilin a naipaulog iti nagan ti ari iti daytoy nga aldaw uray pay inton bigat, ken palubosam koma a maibitin iti pagbitayan dagiti bagi dagiti sangapulo a putot a lallaki ni Haman.”
14 And the king instructed that it should be so done. And immediately the edict was hung up in Susa, and the ten sons of Haman were hung up.
Isu nga imbilin ti ari a maaramid ti kasta. Nangipaulog ti ari ti maysa a bilin idiay Susa, ket imbitinda ti sangapulo a putot a lallaki ni Haman.
15 On the fourteenth day of the month Adar, the Jews gathered themselves together, and they executed in Susa three hundred men, but they did not seize their belongings from them.
Naguummong dagiti Judio nga adda idiay Susa idi maika-14 nga aldaw iti bulan ti Adar, ken pinapatayda iti tallogasut pay a lallaki idiay Susa, ngem saanda a nangsamsam.
16 Moreover, throughout all the provinces which were subject to the king’s dominion, the Jews made a stand for their lives, and they executed their enemies and their persecutors, so much so that the number of those who were killed amounted to seventy-five thousand, and yet no one touched any of their belongings.
Naguummong dagiti nabatbati a Judio nga adda kadagiti probinsia ti ari tapno salaknibanda dagiti biagda, ken nakainanada manipud kadagiti kabusorda ket pinapatayda dagiti 75, 000 kadagidiay kabusorda, ngem saanda a nangsamsam kadagiti gameng dagiti napapatayda.
17 Now the thirteenth day of the month Adar was the first day with all of the executions, and on the fourteenth day they ceased the killing. This day they established to be sacred, so that in all times hereafter they would be free for feasting, joyfulness, and celebration.
Iti maika-13 nga aldaw ti bulan ti Adar, iti maika-14 nga aldaw, naginana ken inaramidda dayta nga aldaw a padaya ken panagraragsak.
18 But, as for those who were carrying out the killings in the city of Susa, they turned to killing on the thirteenth and fourteenth day of the same month. But on the fifteenth day they ceased to attack. And for that reason they established that day as sacred, with feasting and with gladness.
Ngem naguummong dagiti Judio idiay Susa idi maika-13 ken maika-14 nga aldaw. Iti maika-15 nga aldaw, naginanada ket inaramidda daytoy nga aldaw a padaya ken panagraragsak.
19 But in truth, those Jews who were staying in unwalled towns and villages, appointed the fourteenth day of the month Adar for celebration and gladness, so as to rejoice on that day and send one another portions of their feasts and their meals.
Dayta ti gapuna no apay a nginilin dagiti Judio kadagiti barbarrio, dagiti nangaramid kadagiti babbalayda kadagiti ili ti maika-14 nga aldaw ti bulan ti Adar a kas aldaw a panagraragsak ken padaya, ken kas aldaw nga agpipinnatulodda kadagiti sagut a makan iti maysa ken maysa.
20 And so Mordecai wrote down all these things and sent them, composed in letters, to the Jews who were staying in all the king’s provinces, as much to those in nearby places as to those far away,
Insurat ni Mardokeo dagitoy a banbanag ken impatulodna ti surat kadagiti amin a Judio iti probinsia ni ari Ahasuero, asideg man ken adayo,
21 so that they would accept the fourteenth and fifteenth day of the month Adar for holy days, and always, at the return of the year, would celebrate them with sacred esteem.
a mangibilbilin a ngilinenda ti maika-14 ken maika-15 nga aldaw ti Adar a tinawen.
22 For on those days, the Jews vindicated themselves of their enemies, and their mourning and sorrow were turned into mirth and joy, so that these would be days of feasting and gladness, in which they would send one another portions of their feasts, and would grant gifts to the poor.
Dagitoy dagiti aldaw idi nakainana dagiti Judio manipud kadagiti kabusorda, ken ti tiempo nga ti ladingitda ket nagbalin a rag-o, ken manipud iti panagleddaang a nagbalin nga aldaw a naisangsangayan. Masapul nga aramidenda daytoy nga aldaw ti padaya ken panagraragsak, ken ti panagpipinnatulodda kadagiti sagut a makan iti maysa ken maysa, ken sagsagut kadagiti marigrigat.
23 And the Jews accepted as a solemn ritual all the things which they had begun to do at that time, which Mordecai had commanded with letters to be done.
Isu nga intultuloy dagiti Judio ti narugianda a panagrambak, ar-aramidenda no ania ti insurat ni Mardokeo kadakuada.
24 For Haman, the son of Hammedatha of Agag lineage, the enemy and adversary of the Jews, had devised evil against them, to kill them and to destroy them. And he had cast Pur, which in our language means the lot.
Iti dayta a tiempo, ni Haman a putot a lalaki ni Hammedata a nagtaud iti kaputotan ni Agag, ti kabusor dagiti amin nga Judio, ket naggandat iti maibusor kadagiti Judio tapno dadaelenna ida, ken ipurruakna ti Pur (dayta ket, binnunotan), tapno parmeken ken dadaelen dagiti Judio.
25 And after this, Esther had entered before the king, begging him that his efforts might be made ineffective by the king’s letters, and that the evil he intended against the Jews might return upon his own head. Finally, both he and his sons were fastened to a cross.
Ngem idi dimmanon daytoy a banag iti ari, nangibilin isuna babaen kadagiti surat a ti nadangkes a plano ni Haman maibusor kadagiti Judio ket maisubli iti bukodna nga ulo, ket rumbeng a maibitin isuna ken dagiti putotna a lallaki iti pagbitayan.
26 And so, from that time, these days are called Purim, that is, of the lots, because Pur, that is, the lot, was cast into the urn. And all things that had been carried out are contained in the volume of this epistle, that is, of this book.
Isu nga inawaganda dagitoy nga aldaw iti Purim, a naggapu iti nagan a Pur. Gapu ta amin a nailanad iti daytoy a surat, ken amin a nakitada ken napasamak kadakuada,
27 And whatever they suffered, and whatever was altered afterwards, the Jews received for themselves and their offspring and for all who were willing to be joined to their religion, so that none would be permitted to transgress the solemnity of these two days, to which the writing testifies, and which certain times require, as the years continually succeed one another.
ket inawat dagiti Judio ti baro a kaugalian ken pagrebbengan. Daytoy a kaugalian ket para kadakuada, kadagiti kaputotanda, ken ti tunggal maysa a nakitipon kadakuada. Rumbeng a rambakanda dagitoy a dua nga aldaw iti tinawen. Rambakanda dagitoy iti umno a wagas ken iti isu met laeng a tiempo iti tinawen.
28 These are the days which no one ever will erase into oblivion, and which every province in the whole world, throughout each generation, shall celebrate. Neither is there any city wherein the days of Purim, that is, of lots, may not be observed by the Jews, and by their posterity, which has been obligated to these ceremonies.
Masapul a rambakan ken ngilinenda dagitoy nga aldaw iti tunggal kaputotan, amin a pamilia, amin a probinsia, ken amin a siudad. Masapul a saan pulos nga agsarday dagitoy a Judio ken dagiti kaputotanda a mangngilin a sipupudno dagitoy nga aldaw ti Purim, tapno saanda a pulos a malipatan daytoy.
29 And Esther the queen, the daughter of Abihail, and Mordecai the Jew, also wrote a second letter, so that with all zealousness this day would be confirmed as customary for future generations.
Nagsurat a nabuyogan iti amin a turay ni Reyna Ester nga anak a babai ni Abihail ken ni Mardokeo a Judio ken napasingkedan daytoy a maikadua a surat a maipanggep iti Purim.
30 And they sent to all the Jews, who had been stirred up in the one hundred twenty-seven provinces of king Artaxerxes, that they should have peace and receive truth,
Naipatulod dagiti surat kadagiti amin a Judio iti 127 a probinsia iti pagarian ni Ahasuero, a mangidawdawat iti kinatalged ken kinapudno dagiti Judio.
31 and observe the days of lots, and celebrate them with joy at their proper time, just as Mordecai and Esther had established. And they accepted these to be observed by themselves and by their offspring: fasting, and crying out, and the days of lots,
Pinasingkedan dagitoy a sursurat ti aldaw ti Purim iti naituding a tiempo, a kas imbilin da Mardokeo a Judio ken Reyna Ester kadagiti Judio. Inawat dagiti Judio daytoy a pagrebbengan para kadakuada ken kadagiti kaputotanda, kas ti panangawatda iti tiempo ti panagayunar ken panagun-unnoy.
32 and all things which are contained in the history of this book, which is called Esther.
Pinasingkedan ti bilin ni Ester dagitoy nga annuroten maipapan iti Purim, ket naisurat daytoy iti libro.
