On the thirteenth day of the twelfth month, the month of Adar, the king's order and decree were to be carried out. That day the enemies of the Jews had thought they would crush them, but the exact opposite happened—the Jews crushed their enemies.
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.
The Jews gathered in their cities throughout the provinces of King Xerxes to attack those who wanted to destroy them. Nobody could oppose them, because all the other people were afraid of them.
3 Dukan sarakuna larduna, da hakimai, da gwamnoni da kuma ma’aikatan sarki suka taimaki Yahudawa, domin tsoron Mordekai ya kama su.
All the officials of the provinces, the chief officers, the governors, and the king's officials helped the Jews, because they were afraid of Mordecai.
4 Mordekai babban mutum ne a fada, sunansa ya kai ko’ina a lardunan, ikonsa ya yi ta ƙasaita gaba-gaba.
Mordecai had a great deal of power in the royal palace, and his reputation spread throughout the provinces as his power increased.
5 Yahudawa suka karkashe dukan abokan gābansu da takobi, suka karkashe waɗanda suka ƙi jininsu, suka kuma hallaka su yadda suka ga dama.
The Jews attacked their enemies with swords, killing and destroying them, and they did whatever they wanted to their enemies.
6 A mazaunin masarautar a Shusha, Yahudawa suka karkashe, suka kuma hallaka mutum ɗari biyar.
In the fortress of Susa, the Jews killed and destroyed five hundred men.

This included Parshandatha, Dalphon, Aspatha,

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, son of Hammedatha, the enemy of the Jews, but they did not take their possessions.
11 A wannan rana, aka ba wa sarki rahoton yawan mutanen da aka kashe a mazaunin masarauta, a Shusha.
The same day, when the number of those killed in the fortress of Susa was reported 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.”
he said to Queen Esther, “The Jews have killed and destroyed five hundred men in the fortress of Susa, including Haman's ten sons. Imagine what they've done in the rest of the royal provinces! Now what is it you'd like to ask? It will be given to you. What more do you want? It will be granted.”
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.”
“If it please Your Majesty,” Esther replied, “allow the Jews in Susa be allowed to do the same tomorrow as they did today, following the decree. Also, let the ten sons of Haman be impaled on poles.”
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.
The king ordered this to be done. A decree was issued in Susa, and they impaled the bodies of Haman's ten sons.
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.
On the fourteenth day of the month of Adar, the Jews in Susa gathered together again and killed three hundred men there, but again they did not take their possessions.
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.
The other Jews in the king's provinces also gathered to defend themselves and get rid of their enemies. They killed 75,000 who hated them, but did not touch their possessions.
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 happened on the thirteenth day of the month of Adar, and on the fourteenth day they rested and made it a day of feasting and celebration.
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.
However, the Jews in Susa had gathered to fight on the thirteenth and the fourteenth days of the month. So they rested on the fifteenth day, and made that a day of feasting and celebration.
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.
To this day rural Jews, living in the villages, observe the fourteenth day of the month of Adar as a day of celebration and feasting, a holiday when they send gifts to one 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.
Mordecai recorded these events and sent letters to all the Jews throughout the provinces ruled by King Xerxes, near and far,
21 Ya sa su yi bikin kowace shekara a ranaku goma sha huɗu da goma sha biyar na watan Adar
requiring them to celebrate every year the fourteenth and fifteenth days of the month of Adar
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 the time when the Jews rested from their victory over their enemies, and as the month when their sadness was turned into joy and their mourning into a time of celebration. He wrote them to observe the days as days of feasting and joy and giving gifts of food to one another and presents 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.
The Jews agreed to continue what they had already started doing, following what Mordecai had written to them.
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.
For Haman, son of Hammedatha, the Agagite, the enemy of all the Jews, had plotted to destroy the Jews, and had cast “pur” (meaning a “lot”) to crush and destroy them.
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 it came to the king's attention, he sent out letters ordering that the evil scheme which Haman had planned against the Jews should rebound on him, and that he and his sons should be impaled on poles.
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.
(That's why these days are called Purim, from the word Pur.) As a result of all the instructions in Mordecai's letter, and what they'd seen, and what had happened 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 committed themselves to adopt the practice that they and their descendants and all who join them should not forget to celebrate these two days as set down, and at the right 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.
These days were to be remembered and celebrated by every generation, family, province, and city, so that these days of Purim would always be observed among the Jews, and they would not be forgotten by their descendants.
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 Queen Esther, the daughter of Abihail, wrote a letter, along with Mordecai the Jew, giving in her letter full authority to Mordecai's letter about Purim.
30 Mordekai kuwa ya aika da wasiƙu zuwa ga dukan Yahudawa cikin larduna 127 na masarautar Zerzes. Saƙon fatan alheri da na tabbaci,
Letters expressing peace and reassurance were also sent all the Jews in the 127 provinces of the empire of King Xerxes.
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.
They established these days of Purim at their given time as Mordecai the Jew and Queen Esther had ordered, committing themselves and their descendants to the times of fasting and mourning.
32 Dokar Esta ta tabbatar da waɗannan umarnai game da Furim, aka kuma rubuta ta cikin tarihi.
In this way Esther's decree confirmed these practices regarding Purim, which were entered in the official record.
