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 Assuerus gave the house of Aman, the Jews’ enemy, to queen Esther, and Mardochai came in before the king. For Esther had confessed to him that he was her 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 commanded to be taken again from Aman, and gave it to Mardochai. And Esther set Mardochai 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.
And not content with these things, she fell down at the king’s feet and wept, and speaking to him besought him, that he would give orders that the malice of Aman the Agagite, and his most wicked devices which he had invented against the Jews, should be of no effect.
4 Sai sarki ya miƙa wa Esta sandan sarauta na zinariya, ta kuwa tashi ta tsaya a gabansa.
But he, as the manner was, held out the golden sceptre with his hand, which was the sign of clemency: and she arose 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 said: If it please the king, and if I have found favour in his sight, and my request be not disagreeable to him, I beseech thee, that the former letters of Aman the traitor and enemy of the Jews, by which he commanded that they should be destroyed in all the king’s provinces, may be reversed 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 call I endure the murdering and slaughter 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 Assuerus answered Esther the queen, and Mardochai the Jew: I have given Aman’s house to Esther, and I have commanded him to be hanged on a gibbet, because he durst 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.”
Write ye therefore to the Jews, as it pleaseth you, in the king’s name, and seal the letters with my ring. For this was the custom, that no man durst gainsay the letters which were sent in the king’s name, and were sealed with his ring.
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 king’s scribes and secretaries were called for (now it was the time of the third month which is called Siban) the three and twentieth day of the month, and letters were written, as Mardochai had a mind, to the Jews, and to the governors, and to the deputies, and to the judges, who were rulers over the hundred and twenty-seven provinces, from India even to Ethiopia: to province and province, to people and people, according to their languages and characters, and to the Jews, according as they could 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, were sealed with his ring, and sent by posts: who were to run through all the provinces, 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.
And the king gave orders to them, to speak to the Jews in every city, and to command them to gather themselves together, and to stand for their lives, and to kill and destroy all their enemies with their wives and children and all their houses, and to take 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 revenge was appointed through all the provinces, to wit, 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 this was the content of the letter, that it should be notified in all lands and peoples that were subject to the empire of king Assuerus, that the Jews were ready to be revenged 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.
So the swift posts went out carrying the messages, and the king’s edict was hung up in Susan.
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.
And Mardochai going forth out of the palace, and from the king’s presence, shone in royal apparel, to wit, of violet and sky colour, wearing a golden crown on his head, and clothed with a cloak of silk and purple. And all the city rejoiced and was glad.
16 Ga Yahudawa kuwa, lokaci ne na murna da farin ciki, da jin daɗi da bangirma.
But to the Jews a new light seemed to rise, joy, honour, 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.
And in all peoples, cities, and provinces, whithersoever the king’s commandments came, there was wonderful rejoicing, feasts and banquets, and keeping holy day: insomuch that many of other nations and religion, joined themselves to their worship and ceremonies. For a great dread of the name of the Jews had fallen upon all.
