< Esther 4 >

1 And Mordecai hath known all that hath been done, and Mordecai rendeth his garments, and putteth on sackcloth and ashes, and goeth forth into the midst of the city and crieth — a cry loud and bitter,
Sa’ad da Mordekai ya sami labari game da dukan abin da aka yi, sai ya yayyage rigunansa, ya sanya tsummokin makoki, ya zuba toka a kā, ya kuma shiga ciki birni yana kuka mai zafi da ƙarfi.
2 and he cometh in unto the front of the gate of the king, but none is to come in unto the gate of the king with a sackcloth-garment.
Amma ya kai bakin ƙofar sarki ne kawai, gama ba a yarda wani sanye da tsummokin makoki yă shiga cikin birni ba.
3 And in every province and province, the place where the word of the king, even his law, is coming, a great mourning have the Jews, and fasting, and weeping, and lamenting: sackcloth and ashes are spread for many.
Aka yi makoki sosai da azumi, da kuka mai zafi a cikin Yahudawa a kowane lardin da aka kai doka da kuma umarnin sarki. Mutane da yawa suka kwanta a cikin tsummokin makoki da kuma toka.
4 And young women of Esther come in and her eunuchs, and declare [it] to her, and the queen is exceedingly pained, and sendeth garments to clothe Mordecai, and to turn aside his sackcloth from off him, and he hath not received [them].
Sa’ad da bayi da bābānnin Esta suka zo suka faɗa mata game da Mordekai, sai ta damu ƙwarai. Ta aika masa da riguna domin yă sa a maimakon tsummokin makoki, amma ya ƙi.
5 And Esther calleth to Hatach, of the eunuchs of the king, whom he hath stationed before her, and giveth him a charge for Mordecai, to know what this [is], and wherefore this [is].
Sai Esta ta kira Hatak, ɗaya daga cikin bābānnin sarkin da aka ba shi aikin lura da ita, ta umarce shi yă yi tambaya me ke damun Mordekai da kuma me ya jawo haka.
6 And Hatach goeth out unto Mordecai, unto a broad place of the city, that [is] before the gate of the king,
Saboda haka Hatak ya tafi wurin Mordekai a dandalin birni, a gaban ƙofar sarki.
7 and Mordecai declareth to him all that hath met him, and the explanation of the money that Haman said to weigh to the treasuries of the king for the Jews, to destroy them,
Mordekai ya faɗa masa duk abin da ya faru da shi, haɗe da yawan kuɗin da Haman ya yi alkawari zai zuba a ma’ajin fada don a hallaka Yahudawa.
8 and the copy of the writing of the law that had been given in Shushan to destroy them he hath given to him, to shew Esther, and to declare [it] to her, and to lay a charge on her to go in unto the king, to make supplication to him, and to seek from before him, for her people.
Ya kuma ba shi kofi na rubutaccen doka na kakkaɓe su, wanda aka wallafa a Shusha don yă nuna wa Esta, yă bayyana mata. Mordekai ya faɗa wa Hatak yă iza ta tă tafi gaban sarki domin tă yi roƙo don jinƙai, tă kuma roƙe shi saboda mutanenta.
9 And Hatach cometh in and declareth to Esther the words of Mordecai,
Hatak ya koma ya ba wa Esta rahoton abin da Mordekai ya faɗa.
10 and Esther speaketh to Hatach, and chargeth him for Mordecai:
Sa’an nan Esta ta umarce Hatak yă ce wa Mordekai,
11 'All servants of the king, and people of the provinces of the king, do know that any man and woman, who cometh in unto the king, unto the inner court, who is not called — one law [of] his [is] to put [them] to death, apart from him to whom the king holdeth out the golden sceptre, then he hath lived; and I — I have not been called to come in unto the king these thirty days.'
“Dukan hafsoshin sarki da mutanen lardunan sarki sun san cewa duk wanda ya tafi wurin sarki a shirayi na ciki, mace ko namiji, ba tare da an kira shi ba, doka ɗaya ce take kan mutum, wato, kisa. Abu guda kawai da ya sha bamban shi ne sai wanda sarki ya miƙa wa sandan sarauta na zinariya don yă rayu. Kwana talatin ke nan ba a kira ni in tafi wurin sarki ba.”
12 And they declare to Mordecai the words of Esther,
Sa’ad da aka kai wa Mordekai rahoton maganan Esta,
13 and Mordecai speaketh to send back unto Esther: 'Do not think in thy soul to be delivered [in] the house of the king, more than all the Jews,
sai ya mayar da wannan amsa wa Esta cewa, “Kada ki yi tsammani cewa don kina a cikin gidan sarki, ke kaɗai cikin dukan Yahudawa za ki tsira.
14 but if thou keep entirely silent at this time, respite and deliverance remaineth to the Jews from another place, and thou and the house of thy fathers are destroyed; and who knoweth whether for a time like this thou hast come to the kingdom?'
Gama in kin yi shiru a wannan lokaci, taimako da ceto zai zo daga wani wuri saboda Yahudawa, amma ke da gidanki za ku hallaka. Wa ya san ko saboda irin wannan lokaci ne kika sami wannan muƙami?”
15 And Esther speaketh to send back unto Mordecai:
Sai Esta ta aika da wannan amsa ga Mordekai cewa,
16 'Go, gather all the Jews who are found in Shushan, and fast for me, and do not eat nor drink three days, by night and by day; also I and my young women do fast likewise, and so I go in unto the king, that [is] not according to law, and when I have perished — I have perished.'
“Ka tafi, ka tattara dukan Yahudawan da suke Shusha, ku yi azumi saboda ni. Kada ku ci ko ku sha, dare da rana har kwana uku. Ni kuwa da bayina za mu yi azumi yadda kuke yi. Idan aka yi haka, zan tafi wurin sarki, ko da yake wannan karya doka ce. Idan na hallaka, to, na hallaka.”
17 And Mordecai passeth on, and doth according to all that Esther hath charged upon him.
Saboda haka, Mordekai ya tafi, ya aikata dukan umarnan Esta.
