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.
At that time King Ahasuerus gave the property of Haman the Jews’ enemy to Queen Esther. Mordecai was made one of the king’s personal advisers, for Esther had disclosed his relationship to her.
2 Sarki ya cire zobensa na hatimi, wanda ya karɓo daga Haman ya ba Mordekai. Esta kuma ta naɗa shi a kan mallakar Haman.
The king also drew off his signet ring, which he had taken from Haman. He gave it to Mordecai, and Esther placed Mordecai in charge of Haman’s property.
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.
Then Esther sought another audience with the king and fell at his feet and with tears begged him to avert the evil planned by Haman the Agagite and to frustrate his designs against the Jews.
4 Sai sarki ya miƙa wa Esta sandan sarauta na zinariya, ta kuwa tashi ta tsaya a gabansa.
The king held out to her the golden sceptre, and she arose 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.
“If it seems best to the king,” she said, “and if I have won his favor and he thinks it right, and if I please him, let written orders be given to revoke the dispatches devised by Haman son of Hammedatha the Agagite, which he wrote ordering the destruction of the Jews who are in all the king’s provinces.
6 Gama yaya zan jure da ganin masifa ta faɗa a kan mutanena? Yaya zan jure in ga an hallaka iyalina?”
For how can I bear to look upon the evil that will come to my people? How can I bear to see their destruction?”
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.
Then King Ahasuerus said to Queen Esther and to Mordecai the Jew, “See, I have given Esther the property of Haman, and they have hanged him on the gallows, because he laid hands upon 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.”
Now you write on behalf of the Jews, as seems best to you, in the king’s name and seal it with the king’s signet ring. For a document that is written in the king’s name and sealed with the king’s signet ring cannot be revoked.”
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.
On the twenty-third day of the third month (that is the month of Sivan), the king’s secretaries were summoned and as Mordecai instructed an edict was issued to the Jews, to the satraps and provincial governors and the rulers of each of the one hundred twenty-seven provinces from India to Ethiopia in their own script and their own language, and to the Jews in their own script and language.
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.
Mordecai wrote in the name of King Ahasuerus. He sealed it with the king’s signet ring. Dispatches were sent by mounted couriers who rode the swift, noble steeds, bred of the royal studs.
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.
In this way the king permitted the Jews who were in every city to gather together and make a stand for their life, to destroy, to kill, and annihilate all the armed forces of any people or province that might be hostile to them, including their children and women, and to take their goods as plunder
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.
throughout all the provinces of King Ahasuerus on that thirteenth day of the twelfth month (which is called 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.
A copy of the edict was to be published as a decree in every province – publicly displayed so that the Jews might be ready for that day and avenge themselves.
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 couriers who rode the swift, noble steeds went out, hastened and impelled by the king’s commands! Meantime the decree had been given out in the royal palace at 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.
and Mordecai had gone out from the presence of the king in royal garments of violet and white and with a great crown of gold and with a robe of fine linen and purple. The people of Susa shouted and were glad.
16 Ga Yahudawa kuwa, lokaci ne na murna da farin ciki, da jin daɗi da bangirma.
To the Jews there came light and gladness and joy and honor.
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 every province and city, wherever the king’s command and decree came, there was gladness and joy among the Jews and a holiday. Many of the peoples of the earth professed to be Jews, for fear of the Jews took possession of them.
