Esta 8
1 A wannan rana, Sarki Zerzes ya ba wa Esta mallakar Haman, abokin gāban Yahudawa. Mordekai kuma ya zo gaban sarki, gama Esta ta faɗa yadda ta haɗa dangi da shi.
On that day king, Artaxerxes gave the house of Haman, the adversary of the Jews, to queen Esther, and Mordecai entered before the king. For Esther had confessed to him that he was her paternal uncle.
2 Sarki ya cire zobensa na hatimi, wanda ya karɓo daga Haman ya ba Mordekai. Esta kuma ta naɗa shi a kan mallakar Haman.
And the king took the ring, which he had ordered to be taken from Haman, and he handed it to Mordecai. And Esther appointed Mordecai over her house.
3 Esta ta sāke roƙon sarki, ta fāɗi a ƙafafunsa tana kuka. Ta roƙe shi yă kawo ƙarshen mugun shirin nan na Haman, mutumin Agag; wanda ya shirya a kan Yahudawa.
Not content with these things, she threw herself down at the king’s feet and wept, and, speaking to him, pleaded that he would give orders that the malice of Haman the Agagite, and his most wicked schemes, which he had contrived against the Jews, would be made ineffective.
4 Sai sarki ya miƙa wa Esta sandan sarauta na zinariya, ta kuwa tashi ta tsaya a gabansa.
But he, as was the custom, extended the golden scepter with his hand, which was the sign of clemency, and she rose up and stood before him.
5 Ta ce, “In sarki ya yarda, in kuma na sami tagomashi daga gare shi, idan kuma ya gamshe shi yă yi abin da yake daidai, idan yana jin daɗina, bari a rubuta umarni a soke hukuncin saƙonin da Haman ɗan Hammedata, mutumin Agag, ya shirya ya kuma rubuta domin a hallaka Yahudawa a dukan lardunan sarki.
And she said, “If it pleases the king, and if I have found favor in his eyes, and my request is not seen to be disagreeable to him, I beg you that the former letters of Haman, the traitor and enemy of the Jews, by which he instructed them to be destroyed in all the king’s provinces, may be corrected by new letters.
6 Gama yaya zan jure da ganin masifa ta faɗa a kan mutanena? Yaya zan jure in ga an hallaka iyalina?”
For how will I be able to endure the murder and execution of my people?”
7 Sarki Zerzes ya amsa wa Esta da Mordekai mutumin Yahuda, “Domin Haman ya kai wa Yahudawa hari, na ba da mallakarsa ga Esta, an kuma rataye shi a wurin rataye mai laifi.
And king Artaxerxes answered Esther the queen and Mordecai the Jew, “I have granted Haman’s house to Esther, and I have ordered him to be fastened to a cross, because he dared to lay hands on the Jews.
8 Yanzu ku rubuta wata doka, a sunan sarki, a madadin Yahudawa, yadda kuka ga ya fi kyau ku kuma hatimce ta da zoben hatimin sarki, gama babu takardar da aka rubuta da sunan sarki, aka kuma hatimce da zobensa da za a iya sokewa.”
Therefore, write to the Jews, just as it pleases you, in the king’s name, sealing the letters with my ring.” For this was the custom, that letters which were sent in the king’s name and were sealed with his ring, no one would dare to contradict.
9 Nan da nan aka kira magatakardun fada, a ranar ashirin da uku ga watan uku, wato, watan Siban. Suka rubuta dukan umarnan Mordekai ga Yahudawa, da kuma ga shugabanni, da gwamnoni, da hakiman larduna 127 tun daga Indiya har zuwa Kush. Aka rubuta waɗannan umarnan a rubutun kowane lardi, da kuma cikin harshen kowane mutane. Aka kuma rubuta ga Yahudawa a rubutunsu da harshensu.
Then the scribes and copyists were brought in, (now it was the time of the third month which is called Sivan, ) on the twenty-third day of the month, and letters were written, as Mordecai wanted, to the Jews, and to the governors, and procurators, and judges, who presided over the one hundred twenty-seven provinces, from India all the way to Ethiopia: to one province and another, to one people and another, in accordance with their languages and letters, and to the Jews, exactly as they were able to read and hear.
10 Mordekai ya yi rubutu da sunan Sarki Zerzes, ya hatimce saƙonin da zoben hatimin sarki, ya kuma aika da su ta hannun masu’yan aika a kan dawakai, waɗanda sukan hau dawakai masu gudu sosai, da aka yi kiwonsu musamman saboda sarki.
And these letters, which were sent in the king’s name, had been signed with his ring, and were sent by swift couriers who were to rush in every direction, through all the provinces, so as to prevent the former letters with new messages.
11 Dokar sarki ta ba wa Yahudawa a kowace birni izini su taru, su kuma kāre kansu, domin su hallaka, su kashe, su kuma hallaka kowace ƙungiyar mayaƙa, na kowace ƙasa, ko lardi, da wataƙila za su kai musu, da matansu, da yaransu hari; su kuma washe mallakar abokan gābansu.
The king commanded them to bring together the Jews throughout each city, and to instruct them to join together, so as to make a stand for their lives, and to execute and destroy all their enemies, with their wives and children and their entire houses, and to plunder their spoil.
12 Ranar da aka shirya domin Yahudawa su yi wannan a dukan lardunan Sarki Zerzes, ita ce ranar goma sha uku ga watan goma sha biyu, wato, watan Adar.
And one day of retribution was established throughout all the provinces, namely, the thirteenth of the twelfth month Adar.
13 Za a ba da kofi na rubutacciyar dokar a matsayin ƙa’ida a kowane lardi, a kuma sanar wa mutanen kowace ƙasa, domin Yahudawa su zauna da shiri a ranar, domin su ɗau fansa a kan maƙiyansu.
And such was the content of the letter, so that it would be made known in all lands and nations, which are subject to the authority of king Artaxerxes, that the Jews have been made ready to be vindicated of their enemies.
14 ’Yan aikan, a kan dawakan fada, suka fita a guje, umarnin sarki yana iza su. Aka kuma ba da dokar a mazaunin masarauta wadda take Shusha.
And so the swift couriers departed in haste, carrying through the announcement, and the king’s edict was hung up in Susa.
15 Mordekai kuwa ya fita a gaban sarki da rigunan sarauta, masu ruwan shuɗi, da fari, da babban kambi na zinariya, da alkyabba ta lilin mai ruwan shunayya. Aka yi sowa don murna a birnin Shusha.
But Mordecai, going forth from the palace and from the king’s presence, shone in royal apparel the color of hyacinth and of the sky, wearing a golden crown on his head, and clothed with a cloak of silk and purple. And all the city rejoiced and was joyful.
16 Ga Yahudawa kuwa, lokaci ne na murna da farin ciki, da jin daɗi da bangirma.
But for the Jews, a new light seemed to rise; there was joy, honor, and dancing.
17 A kowane lardi da kowace birni, ko’ina da dokar sarki ta kai, aka yi farin ciki a cikin Yahudawa, cike da bukukkuwa. Yawan mutane da waɗansu ƙasashe suka zama Yahudawa, don tsoron Yahudawa ya kama su.
With all the peoples, cities, and provinces, wherever the king’s orders arrived, there was wonderful rejoicing, banquets and feasts, and a solemn holy day, so much so that many of the other nations joined themselves to their religious practices and ceremonies. For a great fear of the name of the Jews had overcome them all.
