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.
Mokolo ya zomi na misato ya sanza ya zomi na mibale, sanza ya Adari, mokolo oyo mobeko ya mokonzi esengelaki kokokisama, ekokaki. Ezalaki mokolo oyo banguna ya Bayuda bakanisaki ete bakokonza Bayuda; nzokande makambo ebongwanaki mpe Bayuda bakomaki kokonza bato oyo bazalaki koyina bango.
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.
Kati na bingumba na bango, kati na bituka nyonso ya mokonzi Kizerisesi, Bayuda basanganaki mpo na kobundisa bato nyonso oyo bolukaki kobebisama na bango. Ekolo moko te ezalaki na makoki ya kotelemela bango, pamba te bato ya bikolo nyonso mosusu oyo bazalaki elongo na bango kati na mboka bazalaki na somo na bango.
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.
Bakalaka nyonso ya bituka, bayangeli ya bituka oyo mokonzi atiaki, bayangeli mpe bakalaka ya mokonzi basungaki Bayuda, pamba te bazalaki na somo monene ya Maridoshe.
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.
Maridoshe akomaki moto monene kati na ndako ya mokonzi: lokumu na ye epanzanaki kati na bituka nyonso, pamba te nguya na ye ezalaki komata se komata, mokolo na mokolo.
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,
Bayuda babebisaki banguna na bango nyonso na mopanga, babomaki bango mpe babebisaki bango; basalaki bato oyo bazalaki koyina bango makambo nyonso oyo basepelaki kosala.
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:
Kaka na engumba Size, Bayuda babomaki mpe babebisaki bato nkama mitano.
7 Parshandatha, and Dalphon, and Aspatha
Babomaki mpe lisusu Parishandata, Dalifoni, Asipata;
8 and Poratha, and Adalia, and Aridatha,
Porata, Adalia mpe Aridata;
9 and Parmashta, and Arisai, and Aridai, and Vaizatha.
Parimashita, Arizayi, Aridayi mpe Vayezata;
10 When they had slain them, they were unwilling to touch the spoils of their belongings.
bana mibali zomi ya Amani, mwana mobali ya Amedata, monguna na Bayuda, kasi batikalaki te kozwa bomengo ya bitumba.
11 And immediately the number of those who had been killed in Susa was reported to the king.
Kaka na mokolo wana, bayebisaki mokonzi motango ya bato oyo babomaki kati na engumba Size.
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?”
Mokonzi alobaki na Ester, mwasi ya mokonzi: — Kati na engumba Size, Bayuda babomi mpe babebisi bato nkama mitano elongo na bana mibali zomi ya Amani. Basali nini kati na bituka mosusu ya mokonzi? Sik’oyo, posa na yo ezali nini? Bosenga na yo ezali nini? Ekopesamela yo.
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.”
Ester azongisaki: — Soki mokonzi asepeli, tika ete Bayuda oyo bazali kati na engumba Size bazwa lisusu ndingisa ya kokokisa lobi, mobeko ya mokonzi ndenge esalemi lelo mpe badiembika na nzete, bana mibali zomi ya Amani.
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.
Mokonzi apesaki ndingisa ete esalema bongo. Bapanzaki sango ya mobeko yango na engumba Size mpe badiembikaki bana mibali zomi ya Amani.
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.
Bayuda oyo bazalaki kovanda kati na engumba Size basanganaki na mokolo ya zomi na minei, ya sanza ya Adari, mpe bobomaki bato nkama misato; kasi batikalaki kozwa bomengo ya bitumba te.
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.
Bayuda mosusu oyo bazalaki kovanda kati na bituka ya mokonzi, bango mpe basanganaki mpo na komibatela mpe bazwaki bopemi liboso ya banguna na bango.
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.
Na mokolo ya zomi na misato ya sanza ya Adari, babomaki bato nkoto tuku sambo na mitano kati na banguna na bango, kasi batikalaki kozwa bomengo ya bitumba te. Bongo na mokolo ya zomi na minei, bapemaki mpe bakomisaki yango mokolo ya feti mpe ya esengo.
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.
Nzokande, Bayuda oyo bazalaki kovanda kati na engumba Size basanganaki na mokolo ya zomi na misato mpe ya zomi na minei; bongo na mokolo ya zomi na mitano, bapemaki mpe bakomisaki yango mokolo ya feti mpe ya esengo.
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.
Yango wana Bayuda oyo bavandaka na bingumba ezanga bamir bakomisa mokolo ya zomi na minei ya sanza ya Adari, mokolo ya esengo mpe ya feti, mokolo oyo bakabelanaka bakado kati na bango.
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,
Maridoshe akomaki makambo oyo nyonso mpe atindaki mikanda epai ya Bayuda nyonso oyo bazalaki kati na bituka ya mokonzi Kizerisesi, epai ya ba-oyo bazalaki pene mpe epai ya ba-oyo bazalaki mosika
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.
ete basalaka feti na mibu nyonso, na mokolo ya zomi na minei mpe ya zomi na mitano ya sanza ya Adari,
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.
mpo ete ezali na mikolo oyo nde Bayuda bazwaki bopemi liboso ya banguna na bango, na sanza oyo nde mawa na bango ebongwanaki esengo mpe kolela na bango ekomaki feti. Akomelaki bango mpo ete bakomisa mikolo oyo, mikolo ya feti mpe ya esengo; mikolo ya kopesana bango na bango bakado ya biloko ya kolia mpe ya kopesa bakado epai ya babola.
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.
Bayuda bandimaki kokoba kosala feti oyo mpe bakomaki kosala makambo oyo Maridoshe akomelaki bango.
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.
Pamba te Amani, mwana mobali ya Amedata, moto ya mboka Agagi, monguna ya Bayuda nyonso, asalelaki Bayuda likita mpo na kobebisa bango; abetaki Puri, oyo ezali « zeke, » mpo na kufa mpe libebi na bango.
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.
Kasi tango mokonzi ayokaki sango ya likita ya Amani, akomaki mobeko kati na mokanda mpo ete makanisi mabe oyo Amani abongisaki mpo na Bayuda ekweya na moto na ye moko mpe, lisusu, badiembika ye elongo na bana na ye ya mibali, na nzete.
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.
Yango wana babengaka mokolo yango Purimi (ewuti na kombo Puri oyo elakisi zeke). Mpo na makambo nyonso oyo Maridoshe akomaki na mokanda, mpo na makambo nyonso oyo bamonaki mpe makambo nyonso oyo ekomelaki bango,
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.
Bayuda bakataki mpe bandimaki ete yango ekoma ezaleli mpo na bango, ezaleli ya bakitani na bango mpe ya bato nyonso oyo bakosangana na bango, mpo ete batosaka kosala feti ya mikolo oyo mibale, na mibu nyonso, ndenge ekatama na tango na yango.
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.
Milongo nyonso mpe mabota nyonso ekosala feti na mikolo oyo kati na bituka nyonso mpe bingumba nyonso. Bayuda bakoki kotika te kosala feti na mikolo ya Purimi, mpe ekaniseli na yango ekoki kolimwa te kati na bakitani na bango.
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.
Boye, Ester, mwasi ya mokonzi, mwana mwasi ya Abiyaili, elongo na Moyuda Maridoshe, basalelaki bokonzi na bango mpe bakomaki mokanda mosusu mpo na kolendisa makambo oyo etali Purimi.
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,
Maridoshe atindaki mikanda epai ya Bayuda nyonso oyo bazalaki kovanda kati na bituka nyonso nkama moko na tuku mibale na sambo ya mokili ya Kizerisesi, mpe mikanda yango ezalaki na maloba ya kimia mpe ya elikya
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,
mpo na kobeta sete na tina na mikolo oyo ya Purimi ete Bayuda basengeli kosala Purimi yango na mikolo na yango oyo ekatama kolanda mokano ya Moyuda Maridoshe mpe Ester, mwasi ya mokonzi; mpe ndenge Bayuda bakataki yango mpo na bango moko mpe mpo na bakitani na bango lokola tango na bango ya kokila bilei mpe ya bileli.
32 and all things which are contained in the history of this book, which is called Esther.
Mitindo ya Ester elendisaki mibeko mpo na Purimi mpe ekomamaki na buku.
