< Esther 8 >

1 On that day the king Ahasuerus gave the house of Haman, the Jews' enemy, to Esther the queen. And Mordecai came before the king; for Esther had told what he [was] to her.
Iti dayta nga aldaw, inted ni Ari Ahasuero kenni Reyna Ester ti sanikua ni Haman, a kabusor dagiti Judio. Ken nangrugi a nagserbi ni Mardokeo iti ari, ta imbagan ni Ester no ania ti pakainaigan ni Mardokeo kenkuana.
2 And the king took off his ring which he had taken from Haman, and gave it to Mordecai. And Esther set Mordecai over the house of Haman.
Inuksot ti ari ti singsingna nga adda pagseliona, a binabawina manipud kenni Haman, ket intedna daytoy kenni Mardokeo. Dinutokan ni Ester ni Madokeo a mangimaton iti sanikua ni Haman.
3 And Esther spoke yet again before the king, and fell down at his feet, and besought him with tears to put away the mischief of Haman the Agagite, and his device that he had devised against the Jews.
Kalpasanna, nakisarita manen ni Ester iti ari. Nagpakleb isuna iti daga ken nagsangit kabayatan ti panangpakpakaasina kenkuana tapno gibusenna ti dakes a panggep ni Haman a kaputotan ni Agag, ti gandat nga insaganana a maibusor kadagiti Judio.
4 Then the king held out the golden scepter towards Esther. So Esther arose, and stood before the king,
Ket inturong ti ari ti balitok a setro kenni Ester; bimmangon isuna ken nagtakder iti sangoanan ti ari.
5 And said, If it shall please the king, and if I have found favor in his sight, and the thing [shall seem] right before 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:
Kinunana, “No makaayo daytoy iti ari, ken no nakasarakak iti pabor iti panagkitam, no ti banag ket agparang a nalinteg iti sangoanan ti ari, ken no makaay-ayoak kadagiti matam, palubosam a maysa a bilin ti maipaulog iti nagan ti ari a mangwaswas kadagiti surat nga insurat ni Haman nga anak a lalaki ni Hamedata nga Agagita, dagiti surat nga insuratna tapno dadaelenna dagiti Judio nga adda kadagiti amin a probinsia ti ari.
6 For how can I endure to see the evil that will come to my people? or how can I endure to see the destruction of my kindred?
Ta kasano a maituredko a kitaen ti didigra a mapasamak kadagiti tattaok? Kasano a maibturak a buyaen ti pannakadadael dagiti kakabagiak?”
7 Then the king Ahasuerus said to Esther the queen and to Mordecai the Jew, Behold, I have given Esther the house of Haman, and him they have hanged upon the gallows, because he laid his hand upon the Jews.
Kinuna ni Ari Ahasuero kenni Reyna Ester ken kenni Mardokeo a Judio, “Kitaenyo, intedkon kenni Ester ti balay ni Haman, ken imbitinda isuna iti pagbitayan, gapu ta rautenna koma dagiti Judio.
8 Write ye also for the Jews, as it pleaseth 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, no man may reverse.
Mangisuratkayo iti sabali a bilin a maipaulog iti nagan ti ari para kadagiti Judio, ken deppelanyo daytoy iti selio babaen iti singsing ti ari. Ta ti bilin a naipaulog iti nagan ti ari a naisuraten ken nadeppelanen iti selio babaen iti singsing ti ari ket saanen a mabalin a mawaswas.”
9 Then were the king's scribes called at that time in the third month, that [is], the month Sivan, on the three and twentieth [day] of it; and it was written, according to all that Mordecai commanded, to the Jews, and to the lieutenants, and the deputies and rulers of the provinces which [are] from India to Cush, a hundred twenty and seven provinces, to every province according to the writing of it, and to every people after their language, and to the Jews according to their writing, and according to their language.
Kalpasanna, naayaban dagiti eskriba ti ari iti dayta a kanito, iti maikatallo a bulan, nga isu ti bulan ti Sivan, iti maika-23 nga aldaw ti bulan. Maysa a bilin ti naipaulog iti nagan ti ari ti naisurat a naglaon iti amin nga imbilbilin ni Mardokeo maipapan kadagiti Judio. Naisurat daytoy para kadagiti gobernador dagiti probinsia, kadagiti gobernador ken kadagiti opisial dagiti probinsia a masarakan manipud idiay India agingga idiay Etiopia, kadagiti 127 a probinsia, iti tunggal probinsia a naisurat iti bukodda a panagsurat, ken kadagiti tribu dagiti tattao iti pagsasaoda, ken kadagiti Judio kadagiti bukodda a panagsurat ken pagsasao.
10 And he wrote in the king Ahasuerus's name, and sealed [it] with the king's ring, and sent letters by posts on horseback, [and] riders on mules, camels, [and] young dromedaries:
Nangisurat ni Mardokeo iti nagan ni Ari Ahasuero ken dineppelanna daytoy iti singsing ti ari a pagselio. Impatulodna dagiti surat babaen kadagiti para itulod kadagiti surat nga agluglugan kadagiti napapartak a kabalio a nausar para iti panagserbi iti ari, a naiyanak manipud iti kuadra ti ari.
11 In which the king granted the Jews who [were] in every city to assemble, and to stand for their life, to destroy, to slay, and to cause to perish, all the power of the people and province that would assault them, [both] little ones and women, and [to take] the spoil of them for a prey,
Inted ti ari kadagiti Judio nga adda iti tunggal siudad ti pammalubos nga aguummong ken agkaykaysa a mangsalakib kadagiti biagda; a mangkisap, mangpapatay, ken mangdadael iti aniaman nga armada manipud kadagiti aniaman a tattao wenno probinsia a mabalin a mangraut kadakuada, kadagiti annakda, agraman kadagiti babbai, wenno kadagiti mangtakaw kadagiti sanikuada.
12 Upon one day in all the provinces of king Ahasuerus, [namely], upon the thirteenth [day] of the twelfth month, which [is] the month Adar,
Maipatungpal daytoy kadagiti amin a probinsia ni Ari Ahasuero, iti maika-13 nga aldaw ti maika-12 a bulan, nga isu ti bulan ti Adar.
13 The copy of the writing for a commandment, to be given in every province [was] published to all people, and that the Jews should be ready against that day to avenge themselves on their enemies.
Ti kopia ti bilin a naipaulog iti nagan ti ari ket maited a kas linteg ken maipablaak kadagiti amin a tattao. Masapul a sisasagana dagiti Judio nga agibales kadagiti kabusorda iti dayta nga aldaw.
14 [So] the posts that rode upon mules [and] camels went out, being hastened and pressed on by the king's commandment. And the decree was given at Shushan the palace.
Isu a naglugan dagiti para itulod kadagiti surat kadagiti kabalio ti ari a maus-usar iti panagserbi iti ari. Napanda nga awan taktakna. Ti bilin a naipaulog iti nagan ti ari ket naited met manipud iti palasio idiay Susa.
15 And Mordecai went out from the presence of the king in royal apparel of blue and white, and with a great crown of gold, and with a garment of fine linen and purple: and the city of Shushan rejoiced, and was glad:
Kalpasanna, pimmanaw ni Mardokeo iti imatang ti ari a nakakawes iti naarian a pagan-anay nga asul ken puraw, nga addaan iti nadayag a korona a balitok ken maris-ube a kagay a naaramid iti kasasayaatan a lino. Ket nagpukkaw ken nagragsak ti siudad ti Susa.
16 The Jews had light, and gladness, and joy, and honor.
Naaddaan dagiti Judio iti lawag ken kinaragsak, rag-o ken dayaw.
17 And in every province, and in every city, whithersoever the king's commandment and his decree came, the Jews had joy and gladness, a feast and a good day. And many of the people of the land became Jews; for the fear of the Jews fell upon them.
Kadagiti amin a probinsia ken kadagiti amin a siudad, sadinoman a nakadanonan ti bilin a naipaulog iti nagan ti ari, adda iti kinaragsak ken rag-o kadagiti Judio, padaya ken piesta. Adu kadagiti nadumaduma a tattao iti daga ti nagbalin a Judio, gapu ta ti panagbuteng dagiti Judio ket nagdissuor kadakuada.
