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.
Sa ikalabing dalawang buwan nga, na siyang buwan ng Adar, nang ikalabing tatlong araw ng buwan ding yaon, nang ang utos ng hari at ang pasiya niya ay malapit nang gagawin, nang araw na inaasahan ng mga kaaway ng mga Judio na magpuno sa kanila; (yamang napabaligtad, na ang mga Judio ay siyang naghari sa kanila na nangapopoot sa kanila),
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.
Ang mga Judio ay nagpipisan sa kanilang mga bayan sa lahat na lalawigan ng haring Assuero, upang magbuhat ng kamay sa mga nagbabanta ng kanilang kapahamakan: at walang makatayo sa kanila; sapagka't ang takot sa kanila ay nahulog sa lahat ng mga bayan.
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.
At lahat ng mga prinsipe sa mga lalawigan, at ang mga satrapa, at ang mga tagapamahala, at ang mga nagsisigawa ng gawain ng hari, ay nagsitulong sa mga Judio; sapagka't ang takot kay Mardocheo ay suma kanila,
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.
Sapagka't si Mardocheo ay dakila sa bahay ng hari, at ang kaniyang kabantugan ay lumaganap sa lahat ng mga lalawigan: sapagka't ang lalaking si Mardocheo ay dumakila, ng dumakila.
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,
At sinaktan ng mga Judio ang lahat ng kanilang mga kaaway sa taga ng tabak, at sa pagpatay at paggiba, at ginawa ang naibigan nila sa nangapopoot sa kanila.
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:
At sa Susan na bahay-hari ay nagsipatay ang mga Judio at nagsilipol ng limang daang lalake.
7 Parshandatha, and Dalphon, and Aspatha
At si Phorsandatha, at si Dalphon, at si Asphatha,
8 and Poratha, and Adalia, and Aridatha,
At si Phoratha, at si Ahalia, at si Aridatha.
9 and Parmashta, and Arisai, and Aridai, and Vaizatha.
At si Pharmastha, at si Arisai, at si Aridai, at si Vaizatha,
10 When they had slain them, they were unwilling to touch the spoils of their belongings.
Na sangpung anak ni Aman, na anak ni Amedatha, na kaaway ng mga Judio, ay pinatay nila; nguni't sa pagsamsam, hindi nila binuhat ang kanilang kamay.
11 And immediately the number of those who had been killed in Susa was reported to the king.
Nang araw na yaon ay ang bilang ng nangapatay sa Susan na bahay-hari ay dinala sa harap ng hari.
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?”
At sinabi ng hari kay Esther na reina; Ang mga Judio ay nagsipatay at nagsilipol ng limang daang lalake sa Susan na bahay-hari, at ng sangpung anak ni Aman; ano nga ang kanilang ginawa kaya sa ibang mga lalawigan ng hari? Ngayon, ano pa ang iyong kahilingan? at ipagkakaloob sa iyo: o ano pa ang iyong kahingian? at gagawin.
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.”
Nang magkagayo'y sinabi ni Esther, Kung kinalulugdan ng hari ipagkaloob sa mga Judio na nangasa Susan na gawin din bukas ang ayon sa pasiya ng araw na ito, at ang sangpung anak ni Aman ay mabitin sa bibitayan.
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.
At iniutos ng hari na gawing gayon: at ang pasiya ay nabigay mula sa Susan; at kanilang ibinitin ang sangpung anak ni Aman.
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.
At ang mga Judio na nangasa Susan ay nagpipisan nang ikalabing apat na araw din ng buwan ng Adar, at nagsipatay ng tatlong daang lalake sa Susan: nguni't sa pagsamsam ay hindi sila nangagbuhat na kanilang kamay.
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.
At ang ibang mga Judio na nangasa mga lalawigan ng hari ay nagpipisan, at ipinagsanggalang ang kanilang buhay, at nangagkaroon ng kapahingahan sa kanilang mga kaaway, at nagsipatay sa mga nangapopoot sa kanila ng pitong pu't limang libo; nguni't sa pagsamsam ay hindi nila binuhat ang kanilang kamay.
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.
Ito'y nagawa nang ikalabing tatlong araw ng buwan ng Adar: at nang ikalabing apat na araw ng buwan ding yaon ay nangagpahinga sila, at ginawang araw ng pistahan at kasayahan.
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.
Nguni't ang mga Judio na nangasa Susan ay nagpipisan nang ikalabing tatlong araw niyaon, at nang ikalabing apat niyaon; at nang ikalabing limang araw ng buwan ding yaon ay nangagpahinga sila, at ginawang araw ng kapistahan at kasayahan.
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.
Kaya't ang mga Judio sa mga nayon, na nagsisitahan sa mga bayan na hindi nangakukutaan, ginagawa ang ikalabing apat na araw ng buwan ng Adar na araw ng kasayahan at pistahan, at mabuting araw, at ng padalahan ng mga bahagi ng isa't isa.
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,
At sinulat ni Mardocheo ang mga bagay na ito, at nagpadala ng mga sulat sa lahat ng Judio, na nangasa lahat na lalawigan ng haring Assuero, sa malapit at gayon din sa malayo,
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.
Upang ipagbilin sa kanila na kanilang ipangilin ang ikalabing apat na araw ng buwan ng Adar, at ang ikalabing lima niyaon, taon-taon.
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.
Na mga pinakaaraw na ipinagkaroon ng kapahingahan ng mga Judio sa kanilang mga kaaway, at buwan ng ikinapaging kasayahan ng kapanglawan, at ikinapaging mabuting araw ng pagtangis: upang kanilang gawing mga araw ng pistahan at kasayahan, at ng pagpapadalahan ng mga bahagi ng isa't isa, at ng mga kaloob sa mga dukha.
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.
At pinagkasunduan ng mga Judio na gawin ang gaya ng kanilang pinasimulan, at ang isinulat ni Mardocheo sa kanila;
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.
Sapagka't si Aman na anak ni Amedatha na Agageo, na kaaway ng lahat na Judio ay nagbanta laban sa mga Judio upang lipulin sila, at pinagsapalaran nga ang Pur, upang patayin, at upang lipulin sila;
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.
Nguni't nang dumating sa harap ng hari ang bagay, ay kaniyang iniutos sa pamamagitan ng mga sulat na ang kaniyang masamang banta, na kaniyang ibinanta laban sa mga Judio, ay mauwi sa kaniyang sariling ulo; at siya at ang kaniyang mga anak ay mabitay sa bibitayan.
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.
Kaya't kanilang tinawag ang mga araw na ito na Purim, ayon sa pangalan ng Pur. Kaya't dahil sa lahat na salita ng sulat na ito, at ng kanilang nakita tungkol sa bagay na ito, at ng dumating sa kanila,
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.
Ang mga Judio ay nangagpasiya at nagsipangako sa kanilang sarili at sa kanilang binhi, at sa lahat ng yaon na nagpipisan sa kanila, na anopa't huwag magkulang, na kanilang ipangingilin ang dalawang araw na ito ayon sa sulat niyaon, at ayon sa takdang panahon niyaon taon-taon;
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.
At ang mga araw na ito ay aalalahanin at ipangingilin sa buong panahon, na bawa't angkan, ng bawa't lalawigan, at ng bawa't bayan; at ang mga araw na ito ng Purim ay hindi lilipas sa mga Judio, o ang alaala man sa mga yaon ay lilipas sa kanilang binhi.
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.
Nang magkagayo'y si Esther na reina na anak ni Abihail, at si Mardocheo na Judio, sumulat ng buong kapamahalaan upang pagtibayin ang ikalawang sulat na ito ng 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,
At siya'y nagpadala ng mga sulat sa lahat ng mga Judio, sa isang daan at dalawang pu't pitong lalawigan ng kaharian ni Assuero, na may mga salita ng kapayapaan at katotohanan,
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,
Upang pagtibayin ang mga araw na ito ng Purim, sa kanilang mga takdang panahon, ayon sa ibinilin sa kanila ni Mardocheo na Judio at ni Esther na reina, at ayon sa kanilang ipinasiya sa kanilang sarili at sa kanilang binhi, sa bagay ng pag-aayuno at ng kanilang pagdaing.
32 and all things which are contained in the history of this book, which is called Esther.
At pinagtibay ng utos ni Esther ang mga bagay na ito ng Purim; at nasulat sa aklat.
