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.
So on the thirteenth day of the twelfth month, which as we have said above is called Adar, when all the Jews were designed to be massacred, and their enemies were greedy after their blood, the case being altered, the Jews began to have the upper hand, and to revenge themselves of their adversaries.
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.
And they gathered themselves together in every city, and town, and place, to lay their hands on their enemies, and their persecutors. And no one durst withstand them, for the fear of their power had gone through every 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.
And the judges of the provinces, and the governors, and lieutenants, and every one in dignity, that presided over every place and work, extolled the Jews for fear of Mardochai:
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 they knew him to be prince of the palace, and to have great power: and the fame of his name increased daily, and was spread abroad through all men’s mouths.
5 Rinaut dagiti Judio dagiti kabusorda babaen iti kampilan, pinapatay ken dinaddadaelda ida, ken inaramidda ti pakaay-aywanda kadagiti kabusorda.
So the Jews made a great slaughter of their enemies, and killed them, repaying according to what they had prepared to do to them:
6 Iti mismo a sarikedked ti Susa, pinapatay ken dinadael dagiti Judio ti limagasut a lallaki.
Insomuch that even in Susan they killed five hundred men, besides the ten sons of Aman the Agagite, the enemy of the Jews: whose names are these:
7 Pinapatayda da Parsandata, Dalfon, Asfata,
Pharsandatha, and Delphon, and Esphatha,
8 Porata, Adalia, Aridata,
And Phoratha, and Adalia, and Aridatha,
9 Parmasta, Arisai, Aridai, Vaizata,
And Phermesta, and Arisai, and Aridai, and Jezatha.
10 ken dagiti sangapulo a putot a lallaki ni Haman a puto a lalaki ni Hamadata, a kabusor dagiti Judio. Ngem saanda a nangsamsam.
And when they had slain them, they would not touch the spoils of their goods.
11 Iti dayta nga aldaw, naipadamag iti ari ti bilang dagiti napapatay idiay Susa, ti nasarikedkedan a siudad.
And presently the number of them that were killed in Susan was brought to 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.”
And he said to the queen: The Jews have killed five hundred men in the city of Susan, besides the ten sons of Aman: how many dost thou think they have slain in all the provinces? What askest thou more, and what wilt thou have me to command to 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.”
And she answered: If it please the king, let it be granted to the Jews, to do tomorrow in Susan as they have done today, and that the ten sons of Aman may be hanged upon gibbets.
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.
And the king commanded that it should be so done. And forthwith the edict was hung up in Susan, and the ten sons of Aman were hanged.
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.
And on the fourteenth day of the month Adar the Jews gathered themselves together, and they killed in Susan three hundred men: but they took not their substance.
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.
Moreover through all the provinces which were subject to the king’s dominion the Jews stood for their lives, and slew their enemies and persecutors: insomuch that the number of them that were Billed amounted to seventy-five thousand, and no man took any of their goods.
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.
Now the thirteenth day of the month Adar was the first day with them all of the slaughter, and on the fourteenth day they left off. Which they ordained to be kept holy day, so that all times hereafter they should celebrate it with feasting, joy, and banquets.
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 they that were killing in the city of Susan, were employed in the slaughter on the thirteenth and fourteenth day of the same month: and on the fifteenth day they rested. And therefore they appointed that day to be a holy 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.
But those Jews that dwelt in towns not walled and in villages, appointed the fourteenth day of the month Adar for banquets and gladness, so as to rejoice on that day, and send one another portions of their banquets and meats.
20 Insurat ni Mardokeo dagitoy a banbanag ken impatulodna ti surat kadagiti amin a Judio iti probinsia ni ari Ahasuero, asideg man ken adayo,
And Mardochai wrote all these things, and sent them comprised in letters to the Jews that abode in all the king’s provinces, both those that lay near and those afar off,
21 a mangibilbilin a ngilinenda ti maika-14 ken maika-15 nga aldaw ti Adar a tinawen.
That they should receive the fourteenth and fifteenth day of the month Adar for holy days, and always at the return of the year should celebrate them with solemn honour:
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.
Because on those days the Jews revenged themselves of their enemies, and their mourning and sorrow were turned into mirth and joy, and that these should be days of feasting and gladness, in which they should send one to another portions of meats; and should give gifts to the poor.
23 Isu nga intultuloy dagiti Judio ti narugianda a panagrambak, ar-aramidenda no ania ti insurat ni Mardokeo kadakuada.
And the Jews undertook to observe with solemnity all they had begun to do at that time, which Mardochai by letters had commanded to be done.
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.
For Aman, the son of Amadathi of the race of Agag, the enemy and adversary of the Jews, had devised evil against them, to kill them and destroy them: and had cast Phur, that is, the lot.
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.
And afterwards Esther went in to the king, beseeching him that his endeavours might be made void by the king’s letters: and the evil that he had intended against the Jews, might return upon his own head. And so both he and his sons were hanged upon gibbets.
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,
And since that time these days are called Phurim, that is, of lots: because Phur, that is, the lot, was cast into the urn. And all things that were done, are contained in the volume of this epistle, that is, of this book:
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.
And the things that they suffered, and that were afterwards changed, the Jews took upon themselves and their seed, and upon all that had a mind to be joined to their religion, so that it should be lawful for none to pass these days without solemnity: which the writing testifieth, and certain times require, as the years continually succeed one another.
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.
These are the days which shall never be forgot: and which all provinces in the whole world shall celebrate throughout all generations: neither is there any city wherein the days of Phurim, that is, of lots, must not be observed by the Jews, and by their posterity, which is bound to these ceremonies.
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.
And Esther the queen, the daughter of Abihail, and Mardochai the Jew, wrote also a second epistle, that with all diligence this day should be established a festival for the time to come.
30 Naipatulod dagiti surat kadagiti amin a Judio iti 127 a probinsia iti pagarian ni Ahasuero, a mangidawdawat iti kinatalged ken kinapudno dagiti Judio.
And they sent to all the Jews that were in the hundred and twenty-seven provinces of king Assuerus, that they should have peace, and receive 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.
And observe the days of lots, and celebrate them with joy in their proper time: as Mardochai and Esther had appointed, and they undertook them to be observed by themselves and by their seed, fasts, and cries, and the days of lots,
32 Pinasingkedan ti bilin ni Ester dagitoy nga annuroten maipapan iti Purim, ket naisurat daytoy iti libro.
And all things which are contained in the history of this book, which is called Esther.
