Esther 3
1 After these things, did King Ahasuerus promote to power Haman son of Hammedatha the Agagite, and exalted him, —and placed his seat above all the rulers who were with him.
Bayan waɗannan al’amura, sai Sarki Zerzes ya girmama Haman ɗan Hammedata, mutumin Agag, ya ɗaukaka shi, ya kuma ba shi matsayi mafi girma fiye da na dukan sauran hakiman.
2 And, all the kings servants who were in the kings gate, used to bend and bow themselves down unto Haman, for, so, had the king given command concerning him, —but, Mordecai, bent not nor bowed himself down.
Dukan masu hidimar da suke a ƙofar sarki suka riƙa durƙusa suna ba wa Haman girma, gama sarki ya ba da umarni a yi masa haka. Amma Mordekai bai durƙusa ya ba shi girma ba.
3 Then said the king’s servants who were in the king’s gate unto Mordecai, —
Sa’an nan masu hidimar da suke a ƙofar sarki suka tambaye Mordekai, “Me ya sa ba ka yin biyayya da umarnin sarki?”
4 Wherefore art, thou, transgressing the command of the king? And it came to pass, when they had spoken unto him day by day, and he had not hearkened unto them, that they told Haman, to see whether the account of Mordecai would stand, for he had told them, that, he, was a Jew.
Kowace rana suna masa magana, amma ya ƙi yă yi. Saboda haka, suka faɗa wa Haman game da wannan don su ga ko za a jure da halin Mordekai, gama ya faɗa musu cewa shi mutumin Yahuda ne.
5 And, when Haman saw that Mordecai did not bend nor bow down unto him, then was Haman filled with wrath;
Sa’ad da Haman ya ga cewa Mordekai ba ya durƙusa ko yă girmama shi, sai ya fusata.
6 but, it was contemptible in his eyes, to thrust forth a hand on Mordecai alone, for they had told him of the people of Mordecai, —and Haman sought to destroy all the Jews who were throughout all the kingdom of Ahasuerus, the people of Mordecai.
Da yake an faɗa masa asalin Mordekai, sai ya ga a kashe Mordekai kaɗai ba zai biya masa bukata ba. A maimakon haka, Haman ya nemi hanya a hallaka dukan mutanen Mordekai, wato, Yahudawa, a ko’ina a dukan masarautar Zerzes.
7 In the first month—the same, was the month Nisan, in the twelfth year of king Ahasuerus, was Pur cast—the same, is the Lot, before Haman, from day to day, and from month to month, —and the lot fell on the thirteenth day of the twelfth month, the same, is the month Adar.
A shekara ta goma sha biyu ta Sarki Zerzes, a wata na farko, watan Nisan, sai suka jefa fur (wato, ƙuri’a) a gaban Haman don a zaɓi rana da watan da zai dace da ƙulle-ƙullen. Sai ƙuri’a ta fāɗa a kan wata na goma sha biyu, wato, watan Adar.
8 Then said Haman unto King Ahasuerus, There is a certain people, scattered abroad and dispersed among the peoples, throughout all the provinces of thy kingdom, —whose laws, are diverse from every people, and, the laws of the king, they observe not, for the king, therefore, it is not fit, to suffer them.
Sai Haman ya ce wa Sarki Zerzes, “Akwai waɗansu mutanen da suke a warwatse, sun kuma bazu a cikin mutane cikin dukan lardunan masarautarka, waɗanda al’adunsu sun yi dabam da na dukan sauran mutane. Mutanen nan ba sa biyayya da dokokin sarki; ba zai yi wa sarki kyau a jure su ba.
9 If, unto the king, it seem good, let it be written, to destroy them, —and, ten thousand talents of silver, will I weigh out upon the hands of them who are doing the business, to bring [it] into the treasuries of the king.
In ya gamshi sarki, bari a yi doka, don a hallaka su, zan kuma sa talenti dubu goma na azurfa a cikin ma’ajin fada saboda mutanen da suka aikata wannan sha’ani.”
10 So then the king took his signet-ring from off his hand, and gave it unto Haman son of Hammedatha the Agagite, the adversary of the Jews;
Saboda haka sarki ya zare zoben hatimi daga yatsarsa, ya ba wa Haman ɗan Hammedata, mutumin Agag, abokin gāban Yahudawa.
11 and the king said unto Haman, The silver, is granted thee, —and the people, to do with them, as may seem good in thine eyes.
Sarki ya ce wa Haman, “Ka riƙe kuɗin, ka kuma yi da mutanen yadda ka ga dama.”
12 Then were called the scribes of the king, in the first month, on the thirteenth day therein, and it was written according to all that Haman commanded unto the satraps of the king, and unto the pashas, who were over every province, and unto the rulers of every people, every province according to the writing thereof, and every people according to the tongue thereof, —in the name of King Ahasuerus, was it written, and sealed with the signet- ring of the king.
Sa’an nan aka kira magatakardun sarki a rana ta goma sha uku na wata na fari. Suka rubuta dukan umarnin Haman a irin rubutun kowane lardi, kuma cikin harshen kowane mutane, zuwa ga shugabannin mahukuntai na sarki, da gwamnonin larduna dabam-dabam, da kuma hakiman mutane dabam-dabam. Aka rubuta waɗannan a sunan Sarki Zerzes da kansa, aka kuma hatimce da zobensa.
13 Then were sent letters, by the hand of the runners, into all the provinces of the king, To destroy, to slay and to cause to perish all Jews, both young and old, little ones and women, in one day, on the thirteenth of the twelfth month, the same, is the month Adar, —and the spoil of them to be a prey.
Aka aika’yan-kada-tă-kwana da saƙoni zuwa dukan lardunan sarki da umarni a hallaka, a karkashe, a kuma kawar da dukan Yahudawa, manya da ƙanana, mata da yara, a kuma washe kayayyakinsu.
14 A copy of the writing, to be delivered as an edict throughout every province, was published to all the peoples, —that they should be ready against this day.
Za a ba da kofin rubutun a matsayin doka a kowane lardi, a kuma sanar da mutanen kowace al’umma, domin su zauna da shiri don wannan rana.
15 The runners, went forth, urged on by the word of the king, and, the edict, was given in Shusan the palace, —and, the king and Haman, sat down to drink, but, the city of Shusan, was perplexed.
Bisa ga umarnin sarki, sai’yan-kada-tă-kwana, suka tafi da sauri. Aka ba da umarni a mazaunin masarauta da yake a Shusha. Sai Sarki da Haman suka zauna don su sha, amma birnin Shusha ya ruɗe.
