Ester 4
1 Tango Maridoshe ayokaki makambo nyonso oyo elekaki, apasolaki bilamba na ye; alataki saki, amipakolaki putulu mpe atambolaki kati na engumba na koganga makasi mpe na mawa.
Now when Mordecai perceiued all that was done, Mordecai rent his clothes, and put on sackecloth and ashes, and went out into the middes of the citie, and cryed with a great crye, and a bitter.
2 Bongo akendeki kino na liboso ya ekuke ya ndako ya mokonzi; pamba te moto moko te, wana alati saki lokola elamba, azalaki na ndingisa ya kokota na ekuke ya mokonzi.
And he came euen before the Kings gate, but he might not enter within the Kings gate, being clothed with sackecloth.
3 Kati na bituka nyonso epai wapi mitindo mpe mobeko ya mokonzi ezalaki kokoma, matanga monene ezalaki kati na Bayuda: bazalaki kokila bilei, kolela mpe koganga ya mawa; ebele bazalaki komitanda na basaki mpe na putulu.
And in euery prouince, and place, whither the Kings charge and his commission came, there was great sorowe among the Iewes, and fasting, and weeping and mourning, and many laye in sackecloth and in ashes.
4 Tango basi bawumbu ya Ester, mwasi ya Mokonzi, mpe basoda na ye, oyo baboma bango mokongo, bayebisaki Ester makambo oyo Maridoshe asalaki, Ester amitungisaki makasi. Atindelaki Maridoshe bilamba mpo ete alata yango mpe alongola basaki oyo alataki, kasi Maridoshe aboyaki.
Then Esters maydes and her eunuches came and tolde it her: therefore the Queene was very heauie, and she sent raiment to clothe Mordecai, and to take away his sackecloth from him, but he receiued it not.
5 Ester abengisaki Ataki, moko kati na bakalaka ya lokumu, oyo baboma mokongo mpe mokonzi aponaki mpo na kosalela Ester; atindaki ye mpo na koyeba likambo oyo ezali kotungisa Maridoshe mpe tina nini azali komitungisa.
Then called Ester Hatach one of the Kings eunuches, whom he had appointed to serue her, and gaue him a commandement vnto Mordecai, to knowe what it was, and why it was.
6 Boye Ataki akendeki epai ya Maridoshe na etando ya engumba, epai wapi bato ebele bakutanaka, liboso ya ekuke ya ndako ya mokonzi.
So Hatach went foorth to Mordecai vnto the streete of the citie, which was before the Kings gate.
7 Maridoshe ayebisaki ye makambo nyonso oyo ekomelaki ye, ata motuya ya mbongo oyo Amani alakaki kopesa na libenga ya bomengo ya mokonzi mpo ete baboma Bayuda.
And Mordecai tolde him of all that which had come vnto him, and of the summe of the siluer that Haman had promised to pay vnto the Kings treasures, because of the Iewes, for to destroy them.
8 Maridoshe apesaki lisusu Ataki mokanda ya mobeko oyo mokonzi abimisaki, mpo ete ye Ataki alakisa yango epai ya Ester, alimbolela ye yango mpe akomisa epai ya Ester mitindo na ye ete Ester akende epai ya mokonzi mpo na kotungisa ye mpe kobondela mawa ya mokonzi mpo na bato na ye Ester; pamba te mokonzi asili kobimisa mobeko ya koboma Bayuda mpe sango na yango esili kopanzana kati na engumba Size.
Also he gaue him the copy of the writing and commission that was giuen at Shushan, to destroy them, that he might shewe it vnto Ester and declare it vnto her, and to charge her that she should goe in to the King, and make petition and supplication before him for her people.
9 Tango Ataki azongaki mpe ayebisaki Ester makambo oyo Maridoshe alobaki,
So when Hatach came, he told Ester the wordes of Mordecai.
10 Ester atindaki lisusu Ataki koloba na Maridoshe:
Then Ester sayde vnto Hatach, and commanded him to say vnto Mordecai,
11 — Bakalaka nyonso ya mokonzi mpe bato ya bituka nyonso ya mokili ya mokonzi bayebi ete, kolanda mobeko, moto nyonso, azala mobali to mwasi, oyo akoti na lopango ya kati ya ndako ya mokonzi asengeli na kufa soki mokonzi abengisi ye te; mpe mobeko yango ezali kaka moko mpo na bato nyonso. Nzokande soki mokonzi asemboli epai ya moto yango lingenda ya wolo ya bokonzi na ye, akotikala na bomoi. Ngai sik’oyo, eleki mikolo tuku misato wuta babenga ngai mpo na kokende epai ya mokonzi; wuta mikolo wana, babenga ngai lisusu te.
All the Kings seruants and the people of the Kings prouinces doe knowe, that whosoeuer, man or woman, that commeth to the King into the inner court, which is not called, there is a law of his, that he shall dye, except him to whom the King holdeth out the golden rodde, that he may liue. Now I haue not bene called to come vnto the King these thirtie dayes.
12 Tango bayebisaki Maridoshe makambo oyo Ester alobaki,
And they certified Mordecai of Esters wordes.
13 Maridoshe azongiselaki Ester: — Kokanisa te ete lokola ozali kati na ndako ya mokonzi, yo moko kaka nde okobika kati na Bayuda nyonso.
And Mordecai saide, that they should answere Ester thus, Thinke not with thy selfe that thou shalt escape in the Kings house, more then all the Iewes.
14 Pamba te soki yo okangi monoko na yo mpe olobi eloko moko te na tango oyo, lisungi mpe lobiko mpo na Bayuda ekowuta na esika mosusu; kasi yo mpe libota ya botata na yo, bokokufa. Kutu, nani ayebi soki tango mosusu ezali mpo na makambo ya boye nde okomaki na ndako ya mokonzi?
For if thou holdest thy peace at this time, comfort and deliuerance shall appeare to the Iewes out of another place, but thou and thy fathers house shall perish: and who knoweth whether thou art come to the kingdome for such a time?
15 Ester atindelaki Maridoshe eyano oyo:
Then Ester commanded to answere Mordecai,
16 — Kende kosangisa Bayuda nyonso oyo bazali na engumba Size. Bokila bilei mikolo misato mpo na ngai; butu mpe moyi, bolia mpe bomela eloko te. Ngai mpe nakokila bilei elongo na basi bawumbu na ngai ndenge moko na bino. Sima na yango kaka nde nakokende epai ya mokonzi atako nakobuka mobeko. Soki mpe nakokufa, nakufa kaka!
Goe, and assemble all the Iewes that are found in Shushan, and fast ye for me, and eate not, nor drinke in three dayes, day nor night. I also and my maydes will fast likewise, and so will I go in to the King, which is not according to the lawe: and if I perish, I perish.
17 Maridoshe akendeki mpe asalaki makambo nyonso oyo Ester atindaki ye.
So Mordecai went his way, and did according to all that Ester had commanded him.
