Esther 9
1 On the thirteenth day of the twelfth month, the month of Adar, the king's order and decree were to be carried out. That day the enemies of the Jews had thought they would crush them, but the exact opposite happened—the Jews crushed their enemies.
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 The Jews gathered in their cities throughout the provinces of King Xerxes to attack those who wanted to destroy them. Nobody could oppose them, because all the other people were afraid of them.
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 All the officials of the provinces, the chief officers, the governors, and the king's officials helped the Jews, because they were afraid 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 Mordecai had a great deal of power in the royal palace, and his reputation spread throughout the provinces as his power increased.
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 The Jews attacked their enemies with swords, killing and destroying them, and they did whatever they wanted to their enemies.
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 In the fortress of Susa, the Jews killed and destroyed five hundred men.
Kaka na engumba Size, Bayuda babomaki mpe babebisaki bato nkama mitano.
7 This included Parshandatha, Dalphon, Aspatha,
Babomaki mpe lisusu Parishandata, Dalifoni, Asipata;
8 Poratha, Adalia, Aridatha,
Porata, Adalia mpe Aridata;
9 Parmashta, Arisai, Aridai, and Vaizatha,
Parimashita, Arizayi, Aridayi mpe Vayezata;
10 the ten sons of Haman, son of Hammedatha, the enemy of the Jews, but they did not take their possessions.
bana mibali zomi ya Amani, mwana mobali ya Amedata, monguna na Bayuda, kasi batikalaki te kozwa bomengo ya bitumba.
11 The same day, when the number of those killed in the fortress of 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 Queen Esther, “The Jews have killed and destroyed five hundred men in the fortress of Susa, including Haman's ten sons. Imagine what they've done in the rest of the royal provinces! Now what is it you'd like to ask? It will be given to you. What more do you want? It will be granted.”
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 “If it please Your Majesty,” Esther replied, “allow the Jews in Susa be allowed to do the same tomorrow as they did today, following the decree. Also, let the ten sons of Haman be impaled on poles.”
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 The king ordered this to be done. A decree was issued in Susa, and they impaled the bodies of Haman's ten sons.
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 of Adar, the Jews in Susa gathered together again and killed three hundred men there, but again they did not take their possessions.
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 The other Jews in the king's provinces also gathered to defend themselves and get rid of their enemies. They killed 75,000 who hated them, but did not touch their possessions.
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 This happened on the thirteenth day of the month of Adar, and on the fourteenth day they rested and made it a day of feasting 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 However, the Jews in Susa had gathered to fight on the thirteenth and the fourteenth days of the month. So they rested on the fifteenth day, and made that a day of feasting and celebration.
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 To this day rural Jews, living in the villages, observe the fourteenth day of the month of Adar as a day of celebration and feasting, a holiday when they send gifts to one another.
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 Mordecai recorded these events and sent letters to all the Jews throughout the provinces ruled by King Xerxes, near and far,
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 requiring them to celebrate every year the fourteenth and fifteenth days of the month of Adar
ete basalaka feti na mibu nyonso, na mokolo ya zomi na minei mpe ya zomi na mitano ya sanza ya Adari,
22 as the time when the Jews rested from their victory over their enemies, and as the month when their sadness was turned into joy and their mourning into a time of celebration. He wrote them to observe the days as days of feasting and joy and giving gifts of food to one another and presents 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 The Jews agreed to continue what they had already started doing, following what Mordecai had written to them.
Bayuda bandimaki kokoba kosala feti oyo mpe bakomaki kosala makambo oyo Maridoshe akomelaki bango.
24 For Haman, son of Hammedatha, the Agagite, the enemy of all the Jews, had plotted to destroy the Jews, and had cast “pur” (meaning a “lot”) to crush and destroy them.
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 But when it came to the king's attention, he sent out letters ordering that the evil scheme which Haman had planned against the Jews should rebound on him, and that he and his sons should be impaled on poles.
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 (That's why these days are called Purim, from the word Pur.) As a result of all the instructions in Mordecai's letter, and what they'd seen, and what had happened to them,
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 the Jews committed themselves to adopt the practice that they and their descendants and all who join them should not forget to celebrate these two days as set down, and at the right time every year.
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 days were to be remembered and celebrated by every generation, family, province, and city, so that these days of Purim would always be observed among the Jews, and they would not be forgotten by their descendants.
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 Then Queen Esther, the daughter of Abihail, wrote a letter, along with Mordecai the Jew, giving in her letter full authority to Mordecai's letter about Purim.
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 Letters expressing peace and reassurance were also sent all the Jews in the 127 provinces of the empire of King Xerxes.
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 They established these days of Purim at their given time as Mordecai the Jew and Queen Esther had ordered, committing themselves and their descendants to the times of fasting and mourning.
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 In this way Esther's decree confirmed these practices regarding Purim, which were entered in the official record.
Mitindo ya Ester elendisaki mibeko mpo na Purimi mpe ekomamaki na buku.
