1 A rana ta goma sha uku na watan goma sha biyu, wato, watan Adar ne za a aiwatar da dokar da sarki ya umarta. A wannan rana, abokan gāban Yahudawa suka sa zuciya za su sha ƙarfinsu, amma yanzu Zerzes ya canja, Yahudawa kuma suka yi galiba a bisa waɗanda suka ƙi jininsu.

Now on the thirteenth day of the twelfth month, which is the month Adar, when the time came for the king's order to be put into effect, on the very day when the haters of the Jews had been hoping to have rule over them; though the opposite had come about, and the Jews had rule over their haters;

2 Yahudawa suka tattaru a cikin biranensu a dukan lardunan Sarki Zerzes don su kai wa waɗanda suka nemi a hallaka su hari. Babu wanda ya tasar musu domin mutanen dukan sauran al’ummai sun jin tsoronsu.

On that day, the Jews came together in their towns through all the divisions of the kingdom of Ahasuerus, for the purpose of attacking all those who were attempting evil against them: and everyone had to give way before them, for the fear of them had come on all the peoples.

3 Dukan sarakuna larduna, da hakimai, da gwamnoni da kuma ma’aikatan sarki suka taimaki Yahudawa, domin tsoron Mordekai ya kama su.

And all the chiefs and the captains and the rulers and those who did the king's business gave support to the Jews; because the fear of Mordecai had come on them.

4 Mordekai babban mutum ne a fada, sunansa ya kai ko’ina a lardunan, ikonsa ya yi ta ƙasaita gaba-gaba.

For Mordecai was great in the king's house, and word of him went out through every part of the kingdom: for the man Mordecai became greater and greater.

5 Yahudawa suka karkashe dukan abokan gābansu da takobi, suka karkashe waɗanda suka ƙi jininsu, suka kuma hallaka su yadda suka ga dama.

So the Jews overcame all their attackers with the sword and with death and destruction, and did to their haters whatever they had a desire to do.

6 A mazaunin masarautar a Shusha, Yahudawa suka karkashe, suka kuma hallaka mutum ɗari biyar.

And in Shushan the Jews put to death five hundred men.

7 Suka kuma kashe Farshandata, da Dalfon, da Asfata,

They put to death Parshandatha, Dalphon, Aspatha,

8 da Forata, da Adaliya, da Aridata,

Poratha, Adalia, Aridatha,

9 da Farmashta, da Arisai, da Aridai da kuma Baizata,

Parmashta, Arisai, Aridai, and Vaizatha,

10 ’ya’ya maza goma na Haman ɗan Hammedata, abokin gāban Yahudawa. Amma ba su taɓa dukiyarsu ba.

The ten sons of Haman the son of Hammedatha, the hater of the Jews; but they put not a hand on any of their goods.

11 A wannan rana, aka ba wa sarki rahoton yawan mutanen da aka kashe a mazaunin masarauta, a Shusha.

On that day the number of those who had been put to death in the town of Shushan was given to the king.

12 Sarki ya ce wa Sarauniya Esta, “Yahudawa sun karkashe, suka kuma hallaka mutum ɗari biyar, da kuma’ya’ya maza goma na Haman a mazaunin masarauta a Shusha. Me suka yi a sauran lardunan sarki? Yanzu kuma mene ne roƙonki? Za a ba ki. Mece ce bukatarki? Za a biya miki.”

And the king said to Esther the queen, The Jews have put five hundred men to death in Shushan, as well as the ten sons of Haman: what then have they done in the rest of the kingdom! Now what is your prayer? for it will be given to you; what other request have you? and it will be done.

13 Esta ta ce, “In sarki ya yarda, yă ba wa Yahudawa da suke Shusha izini su aikata dokan nan gobe kuma, bari kuma a rataye’ya’ya maza goma na Haman a kan gumagumai.”

Then Esther said, If it is the king's pleasure, let authority be given to the Jews in Shushan to do tomorrow as has been done today, and let orders be given for the hanging of Haman's ten sons.

14 Sai sarki ya ba da umarni a yi haka ɗin. Aka ba da doka a Shusha, aka kuma rataye’ya’ya maza goma na Haman.

And the king said that this was to be done, and the order was given out in Shushan, and the hanging of Haman's ten sons was effected.

15 Yahudawan da suke Shusha suka taru a ran goma sha huɗu na watan Adar suka kuma karkashe mutum ɗari uku a Shusha, amma ba su taɓa dukiyarsu ba.

For the Jews who were in Shushan came together again on the fourteenth day of the month Adar and put to death three hundred men in Shushan; but they put not a hand on their goods.

16 Ana cikin haka, sai saura Yahudawa waɗanda suke lardunan sarki su ma suka taru domin su kāre kansu su kuma sami hutu daga abokan gābansu. Suka karkashe mutum dubu saba’in da biyar amma ba su taɓa dukiyarsu ba.

And the other Jews in every division of the kingdom came together, fighting for their lives, and got salvation from their haters and put seventy-five thousand of them to death; but they did not put a hand on their goods.

17 Wannan ya faru a ran goma sha uku na watan Adar. A rana ta goma sha huɗu kuwa suka huta, suka kuma mai da ita ranar biki da kuma ta farin ciki.

This they did on the thirteenth day of the month Adar; and on the fourteenth day of the same month they took their rest, and made it a day of feasting and joy.

18 Amma Yahudawan da suke a Shusha suka taru a rana ta goma sha uku da ta sha huɗu, sa’an nan a rana ta goma sha biyar suka huta, suka kuma mai da ita ranar biki da ta farin ciki.

But the Jews in Shushan came together on the thirteenth and on the fourteenth day of the month; and on the fifteenth day they took their rest, and made it a day of feasting and joy.

19 Shi ya sa Yahudawan ƙauyuka, waɗanda suke zama a karkara, suke kiyaye rana ta goma sha huɗu ta watan Adar a matsayin ranar farin ciki da ta biki, ranar ba da kyautai ga juna.

So the Jews of the country places living in unwalled towns make the fourteenth day of the month Adar a day of feasting and joy and a good day, a day for sending offerings one to another.

20 Sai Mordekai ya rubuta waɗannan abubuwa, ya kuma aika wasiƙu ga dukan Yahudawa ko’ina a lardunan Sarki Zerzes, na kusa da na nesa.

And Mordecai sent letters to all the Jews in every division of the kingdom of Ahasuerus, near and far,

21 Ya sa su yi bikin kowace shekara a ranaku goma sha huɗu da goma sha biyar na watan Adar

Ordering them to keep the fourteenth day of the month Adar and the fifteenth day of the same month, every year,

22 a matsayin lokacin da Yahudawa suka sami huta daga abokan gābansu, da kuma a matsayin watan da aka mai da baƙin cikinsu ya zama farin ciki, makokinsu kuma ya zama ranar biki. Ya rubuta musu su kiyaye ranakun a matsayin ranakun biki da na farin ciki. Su kuma ba da kyautai na abinci ga juna, da kuma kyautai ga matalauta.

As days on which the Jews had rest from their haters, and the month which for them was turned from sorrow to joy, and from weeping to a good day: and that they were to keep them as days of feasting and joy, of sending offerings to one another and good things to the poor.

23 Ta haka, Yahudawa suka yarda su ci gaba da bikin da suka fara, suna aikata abin da Mordekai ya rubuta musu.

And the Jews gave their word to go on as they had been doing and as Mordecai had given them orders in writing;

24 Haman ɗan Hammedata, mutumin Agag, abokin gāban dukan Yahudawa, ya ƙulla maƙarƙashiya game da Yahudawa, domin a hallaka su, ya kuma jefa fur (wato, ƙuri’a) don yă hallaka su.

Because Haman, the son of Hammedatha the Agagite, the hater of all the Jews, had made designs for their destruction, attempting to get a decision by Pur (that is, chance) with a view to putting an end to them and cutting them off;

25 Amma sa’ad da sarki ya sami labarin maƙarƙashiyar, sai ya ba da umarnai a rubuce cewa mugun shirin da Haman ya ƙulla a kan Yahudawa yă komo kansa, kuma cewa a rataye shi da’ya’yansa maza a kan gumagumai.

But when the business was put before the king, he gave orders by letters that the evil design which he had made against the Jews was to be turned against himself; and that he and his sons were to be put to death by hanging.

26 (Saboda haka, aka kira ranakun nan Furim, daga kalma fur). Saboda dukan abin da aka rubuta cikin wannan wasiƙa da kuma abin da suka gani, da abin da ya same su.

So these days were named Purim, after the name of Pur. And so, because of the words of this letter, and of what they had seen in connection with this business, and what had come to them,

27 Yahudawa suka ɗauki nawayar kafa al’adar cewa su, da zuriyarsu, da dukan waɗanda suka haɗa hannun da su, za su kiyaye waɗannan kwanaki biyu, kowace shekara yadda aka tsara, a kuma lokacin da aka keɓe dominsu.

The Jews made a rule and gave an undertaking, causing their seed and all those who were joined to them to do the same, so that it might be in force for ever, that they would keep those two days, as ordered in the letter, at the fixed time every year;

28 Za a tuna, a kuma kiyaye waɗannan kwanaki a kowane zamani, cikin kowane iyali, da kuma cikin kowane lardi, da kowace birni. Kuma kada Yahudawa su fasa yin bikin waɗannan kwanakin Furim, ko su bar jikokinsu su manta da kiyaye waɗannan ranaku biyu.

And that those days were to be kept in memory through every generation and every family, in every division of the kingdom and every town, that there might never be a time when these days of Purim would not be kept among the Jews, or when the memory of them would go from the minds of their seed.

29 Saboda haka Sarauniya Esta,’yar Abihayil, tare da Mordekai mutumin Yahuda, suka rubuta da cikakken iko, suka tabbatar da wannan wasiƙa ta biyu game da Furim.

Then Esther the queen, daughter of Abihail, and Mordecai the Jew, sent a second letter giving the force of their authority to the order about the Purim.

30 Mordekai kuwa ya aika da wasiƙu zuwa ga dukan Yahudawa cikin larduna 127 na masarautar Zerzes. Saƙon fatan alheri da na tabbaci,

And he sent letters to all the Jews in the hundred and twenty-seven divisions of the kingdom of Ahasuerus, with true words of peace,

31 don a kafa waɗannan ranakun Furim a keɓaɓɓen lokacinsu, kamar yadda Mordekai mutumin Yahuda da Sarauniya Esta suka dokace su. Yadda kuma suka kafa wa kansu da zuriyarsu, game da lokutansu na azumi da makoki.

Giving the force of law to these days of Purim at their fixed times, as they had been ordered by Mordecai the Jew and Esther the queen, and in keeping with the rules they had made for themselves and their seed, in connection with their time of going without food and their cry for help.

32 Dokar Esta ta tabbatar da waɗannan umarnai game da Furim, aka kuma rubuta ta cikin tarihi.

The order given by Esther gave the force of law to the rules about the Purim; and it was recorded in the book.
