Esther 8
1 On that day, King Achashyerosh gave the house of Haman, the Jews' enemy, to Esther the queen. Mordecai came before the king; for Esther had told what he was to her.
त्यस दिन राजा अहासूरसले रानी एस्तरलाई यहूदीहरूका शत्रु हामानको सम्पत्ति दिए, र मोर्दकैले राजाको सामु सेवा गर्न थाले किनकि कसरी मोर्दकै उनीसित सम्बन्धित थिए भनी एस्तरले राजालाई बताएकी थिइन् ।
2 The king took off his ring, which he had taken from Haman, and gave it to Mordecai. Esther set Mordecai over the house of Haman.
राजाले हामानबाट लिएको आफ्नो छाप-औँठी निकालेर मोर्दकैलाई दिए । एस्तरले मोर्दकैलाई हामानको जमिनको जिम्मा दिइन् ।
3 Esther spoke yet again before the king, and fell down at his feet, and begged him with tears to put away the mischief of Haman the Agagite, and his plot that he had devised against the Jews.
तब एस्तरले फेरि राजासित कुरा गरिन् । उनले भुइँतिर शिर झुकाइन्, र अगागी हामानले यहूदीहरूको विरुद्धमा रचेको षडयन्त्र, खराब योजनालाई रद्द गरिदिन उनले रुँदै राजालाई बिन्ती गरिन् ।
4 Then the king held out to Esther the golden scepter. So Esther arose, and stood before the king.
राजाले एस्तरतिर सुनको राजदण्ड पसारे, तब उनी उठिन् र राजाको सामु खडा भइन् ।
5 She said, "If it pleases the king, and if I have found favor in his sight, and the thing seem right to the king, and I am pleasing in his eyes, let it be written to reverse the letters devised by Haman, the son of Hammedatha the Agagite, which he wrote to destroy the Jews who are in all the king's provinces.
उनले भनिन्, “राजालाई खुसी लागेमा, र मैले हजुरको नजरमा निगाह पाएकी छु भने, राजाको सामु यो कुरो ठिक लाग्छ भने, र हजुरको नजरमा मैले हजुरलाई खुशी पार्न सकेकी छु भने, अगागी हम्मदाताको छोरा हामानद्वारा राजाका सबै प्रान्तमा भएका यहूदीहरूलाई नष्ट पार्न भनी लेखिएका चिट्ठीहरू रद्द गर्न एउटा आदेश लेखियोस् ।
6 For how can I endure to see the disaster that would come to my people? How can I endure to see the destruction of my relatives?"
किनकि मेरो जातिमाथि आइपर्ने विपत्ती देख्दा म कसरी सहन सक्छु? मेरा नातेदारहरूको विनाश हेर्ने कुरा मैले कसरी सहन सक्छु?”
7 Then King Achashyerosh said to Esther the queen and to Mordecai the Jew, "See, I have given Esther the house of Haman, and him they have hanged on the gallows, because he laid his hand on the Jews.
राजा अहासूरसले रानी एस्तर र यहूदी मोर्दकैलाई भने, “हेर, मैले एस्तरलाई हामानको घर दिएको छु, र तिनीहरूले त्यसलाई फाँसीको काठमा झुण्ड्याएका छन् किनकि त्यसले यहूदीहरूलाई आक्रमण गर्न खोज्दै थियो ।
8 Write also to the Jews, as it pleases you, in the king's name, and seal it with the king's ring; for the writing which is written in the king's name, and sealed with the king's ring, may not be reversed by any man."
राजाको नाउँमा यहूदीहरूको पक्षमा अर्को आदेश लेखे र त्यसमा राजाको औँठीले छाप लगाओ । किनकि पहिले नै राजाको नाउँमा लेखिएको आदेश जसमा राजाको औँठीको छाप लागेको छ, त्यो रद्द हुन सक्दैन ।”
9 Then the king's scribes were called at that time, in the third month Sivan, on the twenty-third day of the month; and it was written according to all that Mordecai commanded to the Jews, and to the satraps, and the governors and officials of the provinces which are from India to Ethiopia, one hundred twenty-seven provinces, to every province according to its writing, and to every people in their language, and to the Jews in their writing, and in their language.
तब तेस्रो महिना अर्थात् सीवान महिनाको तेइसौँ दिनमा राजाका सचिवहरूलाई बोलाइयो । यहूदीहरूको सम्बन्धमा मोर्दकैले दिएका सबै आदेशलाई समावेश गर्दै एउटा आदेश लेखियो । भारतदेखि कूश देशसम्मका एक सय सत्ताइस प्रान्तका गभर्नरहरू, स्थानीय गभर्नरहरू र अधिकारीहरूलाई हरेक प्रान्तलाई आ-आफ्नो लिपिअनुसार र हरेक जातिलाई आफ्नै भाषामा र यहूदीहरूलाई पनि आफ्नै लिपि र भाषामा एउटा लिखित आदेश लेखियो ।
10 He wrote in the name of King Achashyerosh, and sealed it with the king's ring, and sent letters by courier on horseback, riding on royal horses that were bread from swift steeds.
मोर्दकैले राजा अहासूरसको नाउँमा त्यो लेखे र त्यसमा राजाको छाप-औँठीले छाप लगाए । राजको सेवामा प्रयोग गरिने छिटो कुद्ने घोडाहरूमा सवार गराएर पत्रवाहकहरूद्वारा तिनले ती चिठ्ठीहरू पठाए ।
11 In those letters, the king granted the Jews who were in every city to gather themselves together, and to defend their life, to destroy, to kill, and to cause to perish, all the power of the people and province that would assault them, their little ones and women, and to plunder their possessions,
हरेक सहरमा भएका यहूदीहरूलाई एकसाथ भेला हुन र आ-आफ्नो जीवनको रक्षाको निम्ति संगठित हुन, अनि तिनीहरू, बालबालिका, र स्त्रीहरूलाई आक्रमण गर्ने कुनै पनि जाति वा प्रान्तका सशस्त्र मानिसहरूलाई नाश गर्न, मार्न र नामेट पार्न अनि तिनीहरूका धनदौलत लुट्न राजाले तिनीहरूलाई अनुमति दिए ।
12 on one day in all the provinces of King Achashyerosh, on the thirteenth day of the twelfth month, which is the month Adar.
बाह्रौँ महिना वा अदार महिनाको तेह्रौँ दिनमा राजा अहासूरसका सबै प्रान्तमा यसलाई कार्यान्वयन गरिनुपर्थ्यो ।
13 A copy of the letter, that the decree should be given out in every province, was published to all the peoples, that the Jews should be ready for that day to avenge themselves on their enemies.
यो आदेशको एकप्रति नक्कल कानुनको रूपमा जारी भयो र सबै मानिसकहाँ सार्वजनिक रूपमा सूचना टाँसियो । त्यस दिन आफ्ना शत्रुहरूमाथि बदला लिन यहूदीहरू तयार रहनुपर्थ्यो ।
14 So the couriers who rode on royal horses went out, hastened and pressed on by the king's commandment. The decree was given out in the citadel of Shushan.
त्यसैले पत्रवाहकहरू राजाको सेवामा प्रयोग गरिने राजकीय घोडाहरूमा सवार भए । तिनीहरू ढिलो नगरी गए । राजाको आदेशलाई शूशनस्थित राजदरबारबाट पनि जारी गरियो ।
15 Mordecai went out of the presence of the king in royal clothing of blue and white, and with a great crown of gold, and with a robe of fine linen and purple; and the city of Shushan shouted and was glad.
तब मोर्दकैले निलो र सेतो राजकीय पोशाकहरू पहिरिए अनि सुनको ठुलो मुकुट पहिरिए र, मलमलको बैजनी वस्त्र लगाए र राजाको उपस्थितिबाट गए, अनि शूशन सहरले जयजयकार गर्यो र आनन्द मनायो ।
16 The Jews had light, gladness, joy, and honor.
यहूदीहरू खुसी र प्रसन्न भए अनि तिनीहरूका निम्ति आनन्द र सम्मानको दिन भयो ।
17 In every province, and in every city, wherever the king's commandment and his decree came, the Jews had gladness, joy, a feast, and a good day. Many from among the peoples of the land became Jews; for the fear of the Jews was fallen on them.
राजाको आदेश पुगेको हरेक प्रान्त र सहरमा यहूदीहरूका माझमा खुसी र आनन्द अनि भोज र बिदाको दिन भयो । देशमा अरू विविध जातिका धेरै मानिसहरू यहूदी भए किनकि तिनीहरूमाथि यहूदीहरूको डर परेको थियो ।
