< Ester 9 >

1 Ita, iti maika-12 a bulan, nga isu ti bulan ti Adar, iti maika-13 nga aldaw, idi umadanin ti pannakaipatungpal ti linteg ken bilin a naipaulog iti nagan ti ari, iti aldaw a ninamnama dagiti kabusor dagiti Judio a manggun-odda iti pannakabalin kadakuada, nabaliktad daytoy. Nagun-od dagiti Judio iti pannakabalin kadagiti kabusorda.
Now in the twelfth month, which is the month Adar, on the thirteenth day of the month, when the king’s commandment and his decree came near to be put in execution, on the day that the enemies of the Jews hoped to conquer them, (but it turned out that the opposite happened, that the Jews conquered those who hated them),
2 Nagguummong dagiti Judio kadagiti siudadda iti amin a probinsia ni Ari Ahasuero, tapno ipatayda dagiti imada kadagiti nangpadas a nangiyeg iti didigra kadakuada. Awan ti makalapped kadakuada, ta ti panagbuteng kadagiti Judio ket nagdissuor kadagiti amin a tattao.
the Jews gathered themselves together in their cities throughout all the provinces of the King Ahasuerus, to lay hands on those who wanted to harm them. No one could withstand them, because the fear of them had fallen on all the people.
3 Tinulongan dagiti amin nga opisial kadagiti probinsia, dagiti gobernador iti probinsia, dagiti gobernador, ken dagiti administrador ti ari dagiti Judio gapu ta nagdisuor kadakuada ti panagbuteng kenni Mardokeo.
All the princes of the provinces, the local governors, the governors, and those who did the king’s business helped the Jews, because the fear of Mordecai had fallen on them.
4 Ta mabigbigbig unayen ni Mardokeo iti balay ti ari, ken nagsaknap ti kinalatakna iti amin a probinsia, ta ti lalaki a ni Mardokeo ket bumilbileg.
For Mordecai was great in the king’s house, and his fame went out throughout all the provinces, for the man Mordecai grew greater and greater.
5 Rinaut dagiti Judio dagiti kabusorda babaen iti kampilan, pinapatay ken dinaddadaelda ida, ken inaramidda ti pakaay-aywanda kadagiti kabusorda.
The Jews struck all their enemies with the stroke of the sword, and with slaughter and destruction, and did what they wanted to those who hated them.
6 Iti mismo a sarikedked ti Susa, pinapatay ken dinadael dagiti Judio ti limagasut a lallaki.
In the citadel of Susa, the Jews killed and destroyed five hundred men.
7 Pinapatayda da Parsandata, Dalfon, Asfata,
They killed Parshandatha, Dalphon, Aspatha,
8 Porata, Adalia, Aridata,
Poratha, Adalia, Aridatha,
9 Parmasta, Arisai, Aridai, Vaizata,
Parmashta, Arisai, Aridai, and Vaizatha,
10 ken dagiti sangapulo a putot a lallaki ni Haman a puto a lalaki ni Hamadata, a kabusor dagiti Judio. Ngem saanda a nangsamsam.
the ten sons of Haman the son of Hammedatha, the Jews’ enemy, but they did not lay their hand on the plunder.
11 Iti dayta nga aldaw, naipadamag iti ari ti bilang dagiti napapatay idiay Susa, ti nasarikedkedan a siudad.
On that day, the number of those who were slain in the citadel of Susa was brought before the king.
12 Kinuna ti ari kenni Reyna Ester, “Pinapatay dagiti Judio ti limagasut a lallaki idiay siudad ti Susa, agraman dagiti sangapulo a putot a lallaki ni Haman. Ania ngarud ti inaramidda kadagiti dadduma a probinsia ti ari? Ita, ania ti dawatmo? Maipaayto daytoy kenka. Ania ti kiddawmo? Maipaayto daytoy kenka.”
The king said to Esther the queen, “The Jews have slain and destroyed five hundred men in the citadel of Susa, including the ten sons of Haman; what then have they done in the rest of the king’s provinces! Now what is your petition? It shall be granted you. What is your further request? It shall be done.”
13 Kinuna ni Ester, “No makaay-ayo daytoy iti ari, mapalubosan koma dagiti Judio nga adda idiay Susa nga aramidenda daytoy a bilin a naipaulog iti nagan ti ari iti daytoy nga aldaw uray pay inton bigat, ken palubosam koma a maibitin iti pagbitayan dagiti bagi dagiti sangapulo a putot a lallaki ni Haman.”
Then Esther said, “If it pleases the king, let it be granted to the Jews who are in Susa to do tomorrow also according to today’s decree, and let Haman’s ten sons be hanged on the gallows.”
14 Isu nga imbilin ti ari a maaramid ti kasta. Nangipaulog ti ari ti maysa a bilin idiay Susa, ket imbitinda ti sangapulo a putot a lallaki ni Haman.
The king commanded this to be done. A decree was given out in Susa; and they hanged Haman’s ten sons.
15 Naguummong dagiti Judio nga adda idiay Susa idi maika-14 nga aldaw iti bulan ti Adar, ken pinapatayda iti tallogasut pay a lallaki idiay Susa, ngem saanda a nangsamsam.
The Jews who were in Susa gathered themselves together on the fourteenth day also of the month Adar, and killed three hundred men in Susa; but they did not lay their hand on the plunder.
16 Naguummong dagiti nabatbati a Judio nga adda kadagiti probinsia ti ari tapno salaknibanda dagiti biagda, ken nakainanada manipud kadagiti kabusorda ket pinapatayda dagiti 75, 000 kadagidiay kabusorda, ngem saanda a nangsamsam kadagiti gameng dagiti napapatayda.
The other Jews who were in the king’s provinces gathered themselves together, defended their lives, had rest from their enemies, and killed seventy-five thousand of those who hated them; but they did not lay their hand on the plunder.
17 Iti maika-13 nga aldaw ti bulan ti Adar, iti maika-14 nga aldaw, naginana ken inaramidda dayta nga aldaw a padaya ken panagraragsak.
This was done on the thirteenth day of the month Adar; and on the fourteenth day of that month they rested and made it a day of feasting and gladness.
18 Ngem naguummong dagiti Judio idiay Susa idi maika-13 ken maika-14 nga aldaw. Iti maika-15 nga aldaw, naginanada ket inaramidda daytoy nga aldaw a padaya ken panagraragsak.
But the Jews who were in Susa assembled together on the thirteenth and on the fourteenth days of the month; and on the fifteenth day of that month, they rested, and made it a day of feasting and gladness.
19 Dayta ti gapuna no apay a nginilin dagiti Judio kadagiti barbarrio, dagiti nangaramid kadagiti babbalayda kadagiti ili ti maika-14 nga aldaw ti bulan ti Adar a kas aldaw a panagraragsak ken padaya, ken kas aldaw nga agpipinnatulodda kadagiti sagut a makan iti maysa ken maysa.
Therefore the Jews of the villages, who live in the unwalled towns, make the fourteenth day of the month Adar a day of gladness and feasting, a holiday, and a day of sending presents of food to one another.
20 Insurat ni Mardokeo dagitoy a banbanag ken impatulodna ti surat kadagiti amin a Judio iti probinsia ni ari Ahasuero, asideg man ken adayo,
Mordecai wrote these things, and sent letters to all the Jews who were in all the provinces of the King Ahasuerus, both near and far,
21 a mangibilbilin a ngilinenda ti maika-14 ken maika-15 nga aldaw ti Adar a tinawen.
to enjoin them that they should keep the fourteenth and fifteenth days of the month Adar yearly,
22 Dagitoy dagiti aldaw idi nakainana dagiti Judio manipud kadagiti kabusorda, ken ti tiempo nga ti ladingitda ket nagbalin a rag-o, ken manipud iti panagleddaang a nagbalin nga aldaw a naisangsangayan. Masapul nga aramidenda daytoy nga aldaw ti padaya ken panagraragsak, ken ti panagpipinnatulodda kadagiti sagut a makan iti maysa ken maysa, ken sagsagut kadagiti marigrigat.
as the days in which the Jews had rest from their enemies, and the month which was turned to them from sorrow to gladness, and from mourning into a holiday; that they should make them days of feasting and gladness, and of sending presents of food to one another, and gifts to the needy.
23 Isu nga intultuloy dagiti Judio ti narugianda a panagrambak, ar-aramidenda no ania ti insurat ni Mardokeo kadakuada.
The Jews accepted the custom that they had begun, as Mordecai had written to them,
24 Iti dayta a tiempo, ni Haman a putot a lalaki ni Hammedata a nagtaud iti kaputotan ni Agag, ti kabusor dagiti amin nga Judio, ket naggandat iti maibusor kadagiti Judio tapno dadaelenna ida, ken ipurruakna ti Pur (dayta ket, binnunotan), tapno parmeken ken dadaelen dagiti Judio.
because Haman the son of Hammedatha, the Agagite, the enemy of all the Jews, had plotted against the Jews to destroy them, and had cast “Pur”, that is the lot, to consume them and to destroy them;
25 Ngem idi dimmanon daytoy a banag iti ari, nangibilin isuna babaen kadagiti surat a ti nadangkes a plano ni Haman maibusor kadagiti Judio ket maisubli iti bukodna nga ulo, ket rumbeng a maibitin isuna ken dagiti putotna a lallaki iti pagbitayan.
but when this became known to the king, he commanded by letters that his wicked plan, which he had planned against the Jews, should return on his own head, and that he and his sons should be hanged on the gallows.
26 Isu nga inawaganda dagitoy nga aldaw iti Purim, a naggapu iti nagan a Pur. Gapu ta amin a nailanad iti daytoy a surat, ken amin a nakitada ken napasamak kadakuada,
Therefore they called these days “Purim”, from the word “Pur.” Therefore because of all the words of this letter, and of that which they had seen concerning this matter, and that which had come to them,
27 ket inawat dagiti Judio ti baro a kaugalian ken pagrebbengan. Daytoy a kaugalian ket para kadakuada, kadagiti kaputotanda, ken ti tunggal maysa a nakitipon kadakuada. Rumbeng a rambakanda dagitoy a dua nga aldaw iti tinawen. Rambakanda dagitoy iti umno a wagas ken iti isu met laeng a tiempo iti tinawen.
the Jews established and imposed on themselves, on their descendants, and on all those who joined themselves to them, so that it should not fail that they would keep these two days according to what was written and according to its appointed time every year;
28 Masapul a rambakan ken ngilinenda dagitoy nga aldaw iti tunggal kaputotan, amin a pamilia, amin a probinsia, ken amin a siudad. Masapul a saan pulos nga agsarday dagitoy a Judio ken dagiti kaputotanda a mangngilin a sipupudno dagitoy nga aldaw ti Purim, tapno saanda a pulos a malipatan daytoy.
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 from among the Jews, nor their memory perish from their offspring.
29 Nagsurat a nabuyogan iti amin a turay ni Reyna Ester nga anak a babai ni Abihail ken ni Mardokeo a Judio ken napasingkedan daytoy a maikadua a surat a maipanggep iti Purim.
Then Esther the queen, the daughter of Abihail, and Mordecai the Jew wrote with all authority to confirm this second letter of Purim.
30 Naipatulod dagiti surat kadagiti amin a Judio iti 127 a probinsia iti pagarian ni Ahasuero, a mangidawdawat iti kinatalged ken kinapudno dagiti Judio.
He sent letters to all the Jews in the hundred twenty-seven provinces of the kingdom of Ahasuerus with words of peace and truth,
31 Pinasingkedan dagitoy a sursurat ti aldaw ti Purim iti naituding a tiempo, a kas imbilin da Mardokeo a Judio ken Reyna Ester kadagiti Judio. Inawat dagiti Judio daytoy a pagrebbengan para kadakuada ken kadagiti kaputotanda, kas ti panangawatda iti tiempo ti panagayunar ken panagun-unnoy.
to confirm these days of Purim in their appointed times, as Mordecai the Jew and Esther the queen had decreed, and as they had imposed upon themselves and their descendants in the matter of the fastings and their mourning.
32 Pinasingkedan ti bilin ni Ester dagitoy nga annuroten maipapan iti Purim, ket naisurat daytoy iti libro.
The commandment of Esther confirmed these matters of Purim; and it was written in the book.
