< Esther 4 >

1 And when Mordecai knew all that was done, Mordecai rent his garments, and put on sackcloth with ashes, and went out into the midst of the city, and cried with a loud and bitter cry,
Sa’ad da Mordekai ya sami labari game da dukan abin da aka yi, sai ya yayyage rigunansa, ya sanya tsummokin makoki, ya zuba toka a kā, ya kuma shiga ciki birni yana kuka mai zafi da ƙarfi.
2 and came even before the king's gate; for none might enter into the king's gate clothed with sackcloth.
Amma ya kai bakin ƙofar sarki ne kawai, gama ba a yarda wani sanye da tsummokin makoki yă shiga cikin birni ba.
3 And in every province, wherever the king's commandment and his decree came, there was great mourning among the Jews, and fasting, and weeping, and wailing: many lay in sackcloth and ashes.
Aka yi makoki sosai da azumi, da kuka mai zafi a cikin Yahudawa a kowane lardin da aka kai doka da kuma umarnin sarki. Mutane da yawa suka kwanta a cikin tsummokin makoki da kuma toka.
4 And Esther's maids and her chamberlains came and told [it] her; and the queen was exceedingly grieved: and she sent raiment to clothe Mordecai, and to take away his sackcloth from him; but he received [it] not.
Sa’ad da bayi da bābānnin Esta suka zo suka faɗa mata game da Mordekai, sai ta damu ƙwarai. Ta aika masa da riguna domin yă sa a maimakon tsummokin makoki, amma ya ƙi.
5 Then Esther called for Hatach, [one] of the king's chamberlains, whom he had appointed to wait upon her, and gave him a commandment to Mordecai, to know what it was, and why it was.
Sai Esta ta kira Hatak, ɗaya daga cikin bābānnin sarkin da aka ba shi aikin lura da ita, ta umarce shi yă yi tambaya me ke damun Mordekai da kuma me ya jawo haka.
6 And Hatach went forth to Mordecai, unto the public place of the city which was before the king's gate.
Saboda haka Hatak ya tafi wurin Mordekai a dandalin birni, a gaban ƙofar sarki.
7 And Mordecai told him of all that had happened to him, and of the sum of money that Haman had promised to pay to the king's treasuries for the Jews, to destroy them.
Mordekai ya faɗa masa duk abin da ya faru da shi, haɗe da yawan kuɗin da Haman ya yi alkawari zai zuba a ma’ajin fada don a hallaka Yahudawa.
8 And he gave him a copy of the writing of the decree that had been given at Shushan to destroy them, to shew [it] to Esther, and to declare [it] to her, and to charge her that she should go in unto the king, to make supplication to him, and to make request before him, for her people.
Ya kuma ba shi kofi na rubutaccen doka na kakkaɓe su, wanda aka wallafa a Shusha don yă nuna wa Esta, yă bayyana mata. Mordekai ya faɗa wa Hatak yă iza ta tă tafi gaban sarki domin tă yi roƙo don jinƙai, tă kuma roƙe shi saboda mutanenta.
9 And Hatach came and told Esther the words of Mordecai.
Hatak ya koma ya ba wa Esta rahoton abin da Mordekai ya faɗa.
10 And Esther spoke to Hatach, and gave him commandment unto Mordecai:
Sa’an nan Esta ta umarce Hatak yă ce wa Mordekai,
11 All the king's servants and the people of the king's provinces do know that whoever, whether man or woman, shall come to the king into the inner court, who is not called, there is one law, to put [him] to death, except [such] to whom the king shall hold out the golden sceptre, that he may live; and I have not been called to come in unto the king these thirty days.
“Dukan hafsoshin sarki da mutanen lardunan sarki sun san cewa duk wanda ya tafi wurin sarki a shirayi na ciki, mace ko namiji, ba tare da an kira shi ba, doka ɗaya ce take kan mutum, wato, kisa. Abu guda kawai da ya sha bamban shi ne sai wanda sarki ya miƙa wa sandan sarauta na zinariya don yă rayu. Kwana talatin ke nan ba a kira ni in tafi wurin sarki ba.”
12 And they told Mordecai Esther's words.
Sa’ad da aka kai wa Mordekai rahoton maganan Esta,
13 And Mordecai bade to answer Esther: Imagine not in thy heart that thou shalt escape in the king's house, more than all the Jews.
sai ya mayar da wannan amsa wa Esta cewa, “Kada ki yi tsammani cewa don kina a cikin gidan sarki, ke kaɗai cikin dukan Yahudawa za ki tsira.
14 For if thou altogether holdest thy peace at this time, then shall there arise relief and deliverance to the Jews from another place; but thou and thy father's house shall perish. And who knows whether thou art [not] come to the kingdom for such a time as this?
Gama in kin yi shiru a wannan lokaci, taimako da ceto zai zo daga wani wuri saboda Yahudawa, amma ke da gidanki za ku hallaka. Wa ya san ko saboda irin wannan lokaci ne kika sami wannan muƙami?”
15 And Esther bade to answer Mordecai:
Sai Esta ta aika da wannan amsa ga Mordekai cewa,
16 Go, gather together all the Jews that are found in Shushan, and fast for me, and neither eat nor drink three days, night or day: I also and my maidens will fast likewise, and so will I go in unto the king, which is not according to the law; and if I perish, I perish.
“Ka tafi, ka tattara dukan Yahudawan da suke Shusha, ku yi azumi saboda ni. Kada ku ci ko ku sha, dare da rana har kwana uku. Ni kuwa da bayina za mu yi azumi yadda kuke yi. Idan aka yi haka, zan tafi wurin sarki, ko da yake wannan karya doka ce. Idan na hallaka, to, na hallaka.”
17 And Mordecai went his way, and did according to all that Esther had commanded him.
Saboda haka, Mordekai ya tafi, ya aikata dukan umarnan Esta.
