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 in the twelfth month, that is, the month Adar, on the thirteenth day of the same, when the king’s commandment and his decree drew near to be put in execution, in the day that the enemies of the Jews hoped to have power over them, (though it was turned to the contrary, that the Jews had rule over them that hated them; )

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 themselves together in their cities throughout all the provinces of the king Ahasuerus, to lay hand on such as sought their harm: and no man could withstand them; for the fear of them fell upon all people.

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 princes of the provinces, and the satraps, and the governors, and officers of the king, helped the Jews; because the fear of Mordecai fell upon 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 his fame went out throughout all the provinces: for this 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.

Thus the Jews smote all their enemies with the stroke of the sword, and slaughter, and destruction, and did what they would to those that hated them.

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

And in Shushan the palace the Jews slew and destroyed five hundred men.

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

And Parshandatha, and Dalphon, and Aspatha,

8 da Forata, da Adaliya, da Aridata,

And Poratha, and Adalia, and Aridatha,

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

And Parmashta, and Arisai, and Aridai, and Vajezatha,

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 enemy of the Jews, they slew; but on the spoil they laid not their hand.

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 that were slain in Shushan the palace was brought before 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 slain and destroyed five hundred men in Shushan the palace, and the ten sons of Haman; what have they done in the rest of the king’s provinces? now what is thy petition? and it shall be granted thee: or what is thy request further? and it shall 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 said Esther, If it shall please the king, let it be granted to the Jews who are in Shushan to do to morrow also according to this day’s decree, and let Haman’s ten sons be hanged upon the gallows.

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 commanded it so to be done: and the decree was given at Shushan; and they hanged 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.

For the Jews that were in Shushan gathered themselves together on the fourteenth day also of the month Adar, and slew three hundred men at Shushan; but on the spoil they laid not their hand.

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.

But the other Jews that were in the king’s provinces gathered themselves together, and defended their lives, and had rest from their enemies, and slew of their foes seventy and five thousand, but they laid not their hands on the spoil,

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.

On the thirteenth day of the month Adar; and on the fourteenth day of the same they rested, and made it a day of feasting and gladness.

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 that were at Shushan assembled together on the thirteenth day of the month, and on the fourteenth of it; and on the fifteenth day of the same they rested, and made it a day of feasting and gladness.

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.

Therefore the Jews of the villages, that dwelt in the unwalled towns, made the fourteenth day of the month Adar a day of gladness and feasting, and a good day, and of sending portions 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 wrote these things, and sent letters to all the Jews that were in all the provinces of the king Ahasuerus, both near and far,

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

To establish this among them, that they should keep the fourteenth day of the month Adar, and the fifteenth day of the same, yearly,

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 days in which the Jews rested from their enemies, and the month which was turned to them from sorrow to joy, and from mourning into a good day: that they should make them days of feasting and joy, and of sending portions one to another, and gifts 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 undertook to do as they had begun, and as 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.

Because Haman the son of Hammedatha, the Agagite, the enemy of all the Jews, had devised against the Jews to destroy them, and had cast Pur, that is, the lot, to consume them, and to 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 Esther came before the king, he commanded by letters that his wicked plot, which he devised against the Jews, should return upon his own head, and that he and his sons should be hanged on the gallows.

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.

Therefore they called these days Purim after the name of Pur. Therefore for all the words of this letter, and of that which they had seen concerning this matter, and which 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 ordained, and took upon them, and upon their seed, and upon all such as joined themselves to them, so as it should not fail, that they would keep these two days according to their writing, and according to their appointed 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 these days should be remembered and kept throughout every generation, every family, every province, and every city; and that these days of Purim should not fail to be observed among the Jews, nor the memorial of them perish from 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, the daughter of Abihail, and Mordecai the Jew, wrote with all authority, to confirm this second letter of 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 the letters to all the Jews, to the hundred twenty and seven provinces of the kingdom of Ahasuerus, with words of peace and truth,

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.

To confirm these days of Purim in their times appointed, according as Mordecai the Jew and Esther the queen had established for them, and as they had decreed for themselves and for their seed, the matters of the fastings and their lamentations.

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

And the decree of Esther confirmed these matters of Purim; and it was written in the book.
