Esta 4

1 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.

WHEN Mordecai perceived all that was done, Mordecai rent his clothes, and put on sackcloth with ashes, and went out into the midst of the city, and cried with a loud and a bitter cry;

2 Amma ya kai bakin ƙofar sarki ne kawai, gama ba a yarda wani sanye da tsummokin makoki yă shiga cikin birni ba.

And came even before the king’s gate: for none might enter into the king’s gate clothed with sackcloth.

3 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.

And in every province, whithersoever the king’s commandment and his decree came, there was great mourning among the Jews, and fasting, and weeping, and wailing; and many lay in sackcloth and ashes.

4 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.

So Esther’s maids and her chamberlains came and told it her. Then was the queen exceedingly grieved; and she sent raiment to clothe Mordecai, and to take away his sackcloth from him: but he received it not.

5 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.

Then called Esther for Hatach, one of the king’s chamberlains, whom he had appointed to attend upon her, and gave him a commandment to Mordecai, to know what it was, and why it was.

6 Saboda haka Hatak ya tafi wurin Mordekai a dandalin birni, a gaban ƙofar sarki.

So Hatach went forth to Mordecai unto the street of the city, which was before the king’s gate.

7 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.

And Mordecai told him of all that had happened unto him, and of the sum of the money that Haman had promised to pay to the king’s treasuries for the Jews, to destroy them.

8 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.

Also he gave him the copy of the writing of the decree that was given at Shushan to destroy them, to shew it unto Esther, and to declare it unto her, and to charge her that she should go in unto the king, to make supplication unto him, and to make request before him for her people.

9 Hatak ya koma ya ba wa Esta rahoton abin da Mordekai ya faɗa.

And Hatach came and told Esther the words of Mordecai.

10 Sa’an nan Esta ta umarce Hatak yă ce wa Mordekai,

Again Esther spake unto Hatach, and gave him commandment unto Mordecai;

11 “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.”

All the king’s servants, and the people of the king’s provinces, do know, that whosoever, whether man or woman, shall come unto the king into the inner court, who is not called, there is one law of his to put him to death, except such to whom the king shall hold out the golden sceptre, that he may live: but I have not been called to come in unto the king these thirty days.

12 Sa’ad da aka kai wa Mordekai rahoton maganan Esta,

And they told to Mordecai Esther’s words.

13 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.

Then Mordecai commanded to answer Esther, Think not with thyself that thou shalt escape in the king’s house, more than all the Jews.

14 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?”

For if thou altogether holdest thy peace at this time, then shall there enlargement and deliverance arise to the Jews from another place; but thou and thy father’s house shall be destroyed: and who knoweth whether thou art come to the kingdom for such a time as this?

15 Sai Esta ta aika da wannan amsa ga Mordekai cewa,

Then Esther bade them return Mordecai this answer,

16 “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.”

Go, gather together all the Jews that are present in Shushan, and fast ye for me, and neither eat nor drink three days, night or day: I also and my maidens will fast likewise; and so will I go in unto the king, which is not according to the law: and if I perish, I perish.

17 Saboda haka, Mordekai ya tafi, ya aikata dukan umarnan Esta.

So Mordecai went his way, and did according to all that Esther had commanded him.
