Esther 9
1 Now in the twelfth month, that [is], the month Adar, on the thirteenth day of the same, when the king’s commandment and his decree drew near to be put in execution, in the day that the enemies of the Jews hoped to have power over them, (though it was turned to the contrary, that the Jews had rule over them that hated them; )
बाह्रौँ महिना अर्थात् अदार महिनाको तेह्रौँ दिनमा राजाको कानुन र आदेशलाई कार्यान्वयन गर्ने दिन, यहूदीहरूका शत्रुहरूले तिनीहरूमाथि शक्ति जमाउनलाई आशा गरेको दिन जब आयो, परिणाम उल्टो भयो । यहूदीहरूले आफूलाई घृणा गर्नेहरूमाथि शक्ति पाए ।
2 The Jews gathered themselves together in their cities throughout all the provinces of the king Ahasuerus, to lay hand on such as sought their hurt: and no man could withstand them; for the fear of them fell upon all people.
यहूदीहरूमाथि विपत्ती ल्याउन कोसिस गर्नेहरूलाई आक्रमण गर्न राजा अहासूरसका सबै प्रान्तभरि नै तिनीहरूका आ-आफ्ना सहरहरूमा तिनीहरू भेला । तिनीहरूको विरुद्धमा कोही खडा हुन सकेन, किनकि सबै मानिसमाथि तिनीहरूको डर परेको थियो ।
3 And all the rulers of the provinces, and the lieutenants, and the deputies, and officers of the king, helped the Jews; because the fear of Mordecai fell upon them.
सबै प्रान्तका अधिकारीहरू, प्रान्तीय गभर्नरहरू, सथानीय गभर्नरहरू र राजाका प्रशासकहरूले यहूदीहरूलाई मदत गरे किनकि तिनीहरूमाथि मोर्दकैको डर परेको थियो ।
4 For Mordecai [was] great in the king’s house, and his fame went out throughout all the provinces: for this man Mordecai waxed greater and greater.
मोर्दकै राजदरबारमा महान् मानिस थिए, अनि तिनको ख्याति सबै प्रान्तभरि फैलियो किनकि यी मानिस मोर्दकै झनझन महान् बन्दै थिए ।
5 Thus the Jews smote all their enemies with the stroke of the sword, and slaughter, and destruction, and did what they would unto those that hated them.
यहूदीहरूले आफ्ना शत्रुहरूलाई तरवारले आक्रमण गरेर मारे र विनाश गरे अनि आफूलाई घृणा गर्नेहरूलाई आफ्नो इच्छाअनुसार गरे ।
6 And in Shushan the palace the Jews slew and destroyed five hundred men.
शूशनको किल्लामा मात्रै यहूदीहरूले पाँच सय जना मानिसलाई मारेर नष्ट पारे ।
7 And Parshandatha, and Dalphon, and Aspatha,
तिनीहरूले पर्शन्दाता, दल्फोन, अस्पाता,
8 And Poratha, and Adalia, and Aridatha,
पोराता, अदलिया, अरीदाता,
9 And Parmashta, and Arisai, and Aridai, and Vajezatha,
पर्मशता, अरीशै, अरीदै र बैजाता,
10 The ten sons of Haman the son of Hammedatha, the enemy of the Jews, slew they; but on the spoil laid they not their hand.
र हम्मदाताको छोरा यहूदीहरूका शत्रु हामानका दस जना छोरालाई मारे । तर तिनीहरूले कुनै कुरा पनि लुटेर लिएनन् ।
11 On that day the number of those that were slain in Shushan the palace was brought before the king.
त्यो दिन शूशनको किल्लामा मारिएकाहरूको सङ्ख्याको विवरण राजालाई दिइयो ।
12 And the king said unto Esther the queen, The Jews have slain and destroyed five hundred men in Shushan the palace, and the ten sons of Haman; what have they done in the rest of the king’s provinces? now what [is] thy petition? and it shall be granted thee: or what [is] thy request further? and it shall be done.
राजाले रानी एस्तरलाई भने, “यहूदीहरूले हामानका दस छोरासहित शूशनको किल्लामा पाँच सय मानिसलाई मारेका छन् । तब राजाका बाँकी प्रान्तहरूमा तिनीहरूले झन् के गरेका होलान्? अब तिम्रो बिन्ती के हो? त्यो तिमीलाई दिइनेछ । तिम्रो अनुरोध के हो? त्यो तिमीलाई दिइनेछ ।”
13 Then said Esther, If it please the king, let it be granted to the Jews which [are] in Shushan to do to morrow also according unto this day’s decree, and let Haman’s ten sons be hanged upon the gallows.
एस्तरले भनिन्, “राजालाई खुसी लागेमा शूशनमा भएका यहूदीहरूलाई आजको आदेश भोलीको निम्ति पनि कार्यान्वयन गर्न अनुमति दिइयोस् र हामानका दसै जना छोराका लाशलाई फाँसीको काठमा झुण्ड्याइयोस् ।”
14 And the king commanded it so to be done: and the decree was given at Shushan; and they hanged Haman’s ten sons.
त्यसैले राजाले त्यसै गरियोस् भनी आज्ञा दिए । शूशनमा एउटा आदेश निकालियो, र तिनीहरूले हामानका दसै जना छोरालाई झुण्ड्याए ।
15 For the Jews that [were] in Shushan gathered themselves together on the fourteenth day also of the month Adar, and slew three hundred men at Shushan; but on the prey they laid not their hand.
अदार महिनाको चौधौँ दिनमा शूशनमा भएका यहूदीहरू एकै ठाउँमा भेला भए, र शूशनमा थप तिन सय जना मानिसलाई मारे, तर तिनीहरूले लुटपाटमा हात हालेनन् ।
16 But the other Jews that [were] in the king’s provinces gathered themselves together, and stood for their lives, and had rest from their enemies, and slew of their foes seventy and five thousand, but they laid not their hands on the prey,
राजाका प्रान्तहरूमा भएका बाँकी यहूदीहरू आफ्नो ज्यान जोगाउन एकै ठाउँमा भेला भए, र तिनीहरूले आफ्ना शत्रुहरूबाट छुटकारा पाए, अनि आफूलाई घृणा गर्ने पचहत्तर हजार मानिसलाई मारे, तर आफूले मारेका मनिसहरूका मुल्यवान थोकहरूमा भने तिनीहरूले आफ्ना हात लगाएनन् ।
17 On the thirteenth day of the month Adar; and on the fourteenth day of the same rested they, and made it a day of feasting and gladness.
यो अदार महिनाको तेह्रौँ दिनमा भएको थियो । चौधौँ दिनमा तिनीहरूले विश्राम लिए, र त्यस दिनलाई एउटा चाड र हर्षको दिन बनाए ।
18 But the Jews that [were] at Shushan assembled together on the thirteenth [day] thereof, and on the fourteenth thereof; and on the fifteenth [day] of the same they rested, and made it a day of feasting and gladness.
तर शूशनमा भएका यहूदीहरूचाहिँ तेह्रौँ र चौधौँ दिनमा एकसाथ भेला भए । पन्ध्रौँ दिनमा तिनीहरूले विश्राम गरे, र त्यस दिनलाई एउटा चाड र हर्षको दिन बनाए ।
19 Therefore the Jews of the villages, that dwelt in the unwalled towns, made the fourteenth day of the month Adar [a day of] gladness and feasting, and a good day, and of sending portions one to another.
त्यसकारण दुर्गम गाउँहरूतिर घर बनाएका यहूदीहरूले अदार महिनाको चौधौँ दिनलाई हर्ष र चाडको एउटा दिन अनि एक-अर्कालाई खानेकुराका उपहारहरू पठाउने दिनको रूपमा मान्छन् ।
20 And Mordecai wrote these things, and sent letters unto all the Jews that [were] in all the provinces of the king Ahasuerus, [both] nigh and far,
मोर्दकैले यी कुराहरूका विवरण गरे, अनि राजा अहासूरसका टाढा र नजिकका सबै प्रान्तमा भएका सबै यहूदीलाई चिट्ठीहरू पठाए,
21 To stablish [this] among them, that they should keep the fourteenth day of the month Adar, and the fifteenth day of the same, yearly,
जसमा हरेक वर्ष अदार महिनाको चौधौँ र पन्ध्रौ दिनलाई तिनीहरूले अनिवार्य मान्नुपर्ने गराए ।
22 As the days wherein the Jews rested from their enemies, and the month which was turned unto them from sorrow to joy, and from mourning into a good day: that they should make them days of feasting and joy, and of sending portions one to another, and gifts to the poor.
यी दिनमा नै यहूदीहरूले आफ्ना शत्रुहरूबाट छुटकारा पाए, र यही महिनामा नै तिनीहरूको दुःख आनन्दमा र शोक उत्सवमा परिणत भएको थियो । ति दिनलाई तिनीहरूले चाड र हर्षका दिनको रूपमा मनाउनुपर्ने अनि एक-अर्कालाई र गरिबहरूलाई खनेकुरा उपहार पठाउनुपर्ने भनी स्थापित गरियो ।
23 And the Jews undertook to do as they had begun, and as Mordecai had written unto them;
त्यसैले मोर्दकैले तिनीहरूलाई जे लेखेका थिए त्यो गरेर यहूदीहरूले थालनी गरेका उत्सवलाई तिनीहरूले निरन्तरता दिए ।
24 Because Haman the son of Hammedatha, the Agagite, the enemy of all the Jews, had devised against the Jews to destroy them, and had cast Pur, that [is], the lot, to consume them, and to destroy them;
त्यस बेला सारा यहूदीका शत्रु अगागी हम्मदाताको छोरा हामानले, यहूदीहरूलाई नष्ट गर्न तिनीहरूको विरुद्धमा षड्यन्त्र रचेको थियो, र तिनीहरूलाई थिचोमिचो गर्न र नाश पार्न उसले ‘पुर’ अर्थात् चिट्ठा हाल्यो ।
25 But when [Esther] came before the king, he commanded by letters that his wicked device, which he devised against the Jews, should return upon his own head, and that he and his sons should be hanged on the gallows.
तर जब त्यो कुरो राजाको सामु पुग्यो, तब यहूदीहरूको विरुद्धमा हामानले रचेको दुष्ट योजना त्यसकै थाप्लोमा परोस् अनि ऊ र उसका छोराहरूलाई फाँसीको काठमा झुण्ड्याइयोस् भनी राजाले चिट्ठीहरू लेखेर आदेश दिए ।
26 Wherefore they called these days Purim after the name of Pur. Therefore for all the words of this letter, and [of that] which they had seen concerning this matter, and which had come unto them,
त्यसकारण तिनीहरूले यी दिनलाई “पूरीम” भने जुन “पूर” नामबाट आएको थियो । यस पत्रमा लेखिएको र तिनीहरूले देखेका र तिनीहरूमाथि आइपरेका हरेक कुराको कारणले गर्दा,
27 The Jews ordained, and took upon them, and upon their seed, and upon all such as joined themselves unto them, so as it should not fail, that they would keep these two days according to their writing, and according to their [appointed] time every year;
यहूदीहरूले नयाँ चलन र कर्तव्यलाई स्वीकार गरे । यो चलन तिनीहरू, तिनीहरूका सन्तानहरू र तिनीहरूसँग मिल्ने हरेकको लागि थियो । हरेक वर्ष तिनीहरूले यी दुई दिनको उत्सव मनाउनुपर्ने भयो । हरेक वर्ष उही समयमा तिनीहरूले विशेष तवरले यो चाड मान्नुपर्ने भयो ।
28 And [that] these days [should be] remembered and kept throughout every generation, every family, every province, and every city; and [that] these days of Purim should not fail from among the Jews, nor the memorial of them perish from their seed.
हरेक पुस्ता, हरेक परिवार, हरेक प्रान्त र हरेक सहरमा यी दिनमा उत्सव मनाउनुपर्ने र पालन गर्नुपर्ने भयो । पूरीमका यी दिनहरूलाई यहूदीहरूले कहिल्यै नबिर्सून् भनेर तिनीहरू र तिनका सन्तानहरूले विश्वस्ततासाथ यो उत्सव मान्न कहिल्यै पनि छोड्दैनन् ।
29 Then Esther the queen, the daughter of Abihail, and Mordecai the Jew, wrote with all authority, to confirm this second letter of Purim.
अबीहेलकी छोरी रानी एस्तर र यहूदी मोर्दकैले पुरा अधिकारसाथ लेखे र पूरीमको बारेमा यो दोस्रो चिट्ठीले पुष्टि गरे ।
30 And he sent the letters unto all the Jews, to the hundred twenty and seven provinces of the kingdom of Ahasuerus, [with] words of peace and truth,
यहूदीहरूको सुरक्षा र सत्यताको कामना गर्दै चिट्ठीहरू अहासूरसका राज्यका एक सय सत्ताइसवटै प्रान्तका सबै यहूदीहरूकहाँ पठाइए ।
31 To confirm these days of Purim in their times [appointed], according as Mordecai the Jew and Esther the queen had enjoined them, and as they had decreed for themselves and for their seed, the matters of the fastings and their cry.
यहूदी मोर्दकै र रानी एस्तरले यहूदीहरूलाई आज्ञा दिएझैँ तिनीहरूको तोकिएको समयमा पूरीमका यी दिन मान्न चिट्ठीहरूले निश्चयता दिए । यहूदीहरूले उपवास र विलापको समयलाई स्वीकार गरेझैँ तिनीहरूले आफू र आफ्ना सन्तानहरूका लागि यस कर्तव्यलाई पनि स्वीकार गरे ।
32 And the decree of Esther confirmed these matters of Purim; and it was written in the book.
एस्तरको आज्ञाले पूरीमको सम्बन्धमा यी नियमहरूलाई पक्का गर्यो, र यसलाई पुस्तकमा लेखियो ।
