Ester 8
1 Kaka na mokolo yango, mokonzi Kizerisesi apesaki Ester, mwasi ya mokonzi, biloko ya Amani, monguna ya Bayuda. Mpe lokola Ester ayebisaki mokonzi ete Maridoshe azali ndeko na ye, mokonzi abengaki Maridoshe mpe Maridoshe akendeki liboso ya mokonzi.
And in that day king Artaxerxes gave to Esther all that belonged to Aman the slanderer: and Mardochaeus was called by the king; for Esther had shown that he was related to her.
2 Mokonzi alongolaki lopete na ye oyo abotolaki epai ya Amani mpe apesaki yango epai ya Maridoshe. Bongo Ester atiaki Maridoshe mokambi ya biloko ya Amani.
And the king took the ring which he had taken away from Aman, and gave it to Mardochaeus: and Esther appointed Mardochaeus over all that had been Aman's.
3 Ester alobaki lisusu na mokonzi; amibwakaki na makolo na ye mpe abondelaki ye na kolela ete asukisa mikano mabe ya Amani, moto ya Agagi, mpe mabongisi na ye ya koboma Bayuda.
And she spoke yet again to the king, and fell at his feet, and implored [him] to do away the mischief of Aman, and all that he had done against the Jews.
4 Mokonzi asembolaki lingenda ya wolo ya bokonzi na ye epai ya Ester. Bongo Ester alamukaki mpe atelemaki liboso na ye.
Then the king stretched out to Esther the golden sceptre: and Esther arose to stand near the king.
5 Ester alobaki: — Soki esepelisi mokonzi, soki nazwi ngolu na miso ya mokonzi, soki akanisi ete ezali sembo mpo na ye kosala mpe soki asepeli na ngai, tika ete mobeko ekomama mpo na kokweyisa mikano ya Amani, mwana mobali ya Amedata, moto ya Agagi, oyo ebongisamaki mpe ekomamaki mpo na koboma Bayuda kati na bituka nyonso ya mokonzi.
And Esther said, If it seem good to you, and I have found favor [in your sight], let an order be sent that the letters sent by Aman may be reversed, that were written for the destruction of the Jews, who are in your kingdom.
6 Ndenge nini ngai nakoki komona pasi kokweyela bato na ngai to komona kobebisama ya libota na ngai?
For how shall I be able to look upon the affliction of my people, and how shall I be able to survive the destruction of my kindred?
7 Mokonzi Kizerisesi azongiselaki Ester, mwasi na ye, mpe Maridoshe, Moyuda: — Lokola Amani abundisaki Bayuda, ngai napesi ndako na ye epai ya Ester; mpe napesi mitindo mpo ete badiembika ye na nzete.
And the king said to Esther, If I have given and freely granted you all that was Aman's, and hanged him on a gallows, because he laid his hands upon the Jews, what do you yet further seek?
8 Sik’oyo, koma mobeko mosusu na tina na Bayuda, na kombo ya mokonzi, ndenge okomona malamu mpe beta yango kashe ya mokonzi; pamba te mokanda oyo ekomami na kombo ya mokonzi mpe babeti yango kashe na ye ekoki kobongwana te.
Write you also in my name, as it seems good to you, and seal [it] with my ring: for whatever [orders] are written at the command of the king, and sealed with my ring, it is not lawful to gainsay them.
9 Na tango wana kaka, na mokolo ya tuku mibale na misato ya sanza ya misato, sanza ya Sivani, babengisaki bakomi mikanda ya mokonzi. Makambo nyonso oyo Maridoshe atindaki mpo na Bayuda, bakomelaki yango bayangeli ya bituka, bayangeli mpe bakalaka ya bituka nyonso, longwa na Ende kino na Kushi, bituka nkama moko na tuku mibale na sambo, ekolo moko na moko kolanda lokota na yango, etuka moko na moko kolanda ndenge na yango ya kokoma mpe Bayuda kolanda ndenge na bango ya kokoma mpe lokota na bango.
So the scribes were called in the first month, which is Nisan, on the three and twentieth day of the same year; and [orders] were written to the Jews, whatever [the king had] commanded to the local governors and chiefs of the satraps, from India even to Ethiopia, a hundred and twenty-seven satraps, according to the several provinces, according to their dialects.
10 Maridoshe akomaki mikanda na kombo ya mokonzi Kizerisesi, abetaki yango kashe ya mokonzi mpe atindaki yango na nzela ya bantoma oyo batambolaka na bampunda ya mbangu, oyo etiama mpo na misala ya mokonzi.
And they were written by order of the king, and sealed with his ring, and they sent the letters by the posts:
11 Na nzela ya mobeko yango, mokonzi apesaki Bayuda ya bingumba nyonso ndingisa ya kosangana mpo na komibatela, kobundisa, koboma mpe kobebisa mampinga ya ekolo nyonso to etuka nyonso oyo ekoluka kobundisa bango, basi na bango to bana na bango; mpe ndingisa ya kobotola na makasi bozwi ya banguna na bango.
wherein he charged them to use their [own] laws in every city, and to help each other, and to treat their adversaries, and those who attacked them, as they pleased,
12 Bongo, mokolo ya zomi na misato ya sanza ya zomi na mibale, sanza ya Adari, ezalaki mokolo oyo Bayuda bakataki mpo na kokokisa yango kati na bituka nyonso ya mokonzi Kizerisesi.
on one day in all the kingdom of Artaxerxes, on the thirteenth [day] of the twelfth month, which is Adar.
13 Basengelaki kopanza sango ya mokanda wana mpo ete ezalaki na bokonzi ya mobeko kati na etuka moko na moko, mpe basengelaki koyebisa yango na bato ya bikolo nyonso mpo ete Bayuda bakoka kozala ya kobongama na mokolo wana mpo na kozongisela banguna na bango mabe na mabe.
And let the copies be posted in conspicuous places throughout the kingdom, and let all the Jews be ready against this day, to fight against their enemies.
14 Na etinda ya mokonzi, bantoma oyo batambolaka na mpunda ya mokonzi babimaki na lombangu mpe bapanzaki sango ya mobeko yango kati na engumba Size.
So the horsemen went forth with haste to perform the king's commands; and the ordinance was also published in Susa.
15 Maridoshe alongwaki liboso ya mokonzi, na bilamba ya bokonzi ya langi ya ble mpe ya pembe, na motole monene ya wolo mpe na nzambala ya motane makasi ya lino ya kitoko. Engumba mobimba ya Size ezalaki koganga na esengo mpe ezalaki kosepela.
And Mardochaeus went forth robed in the royal apparel, and wearing a golden crown, and a diadem of fine purple linen: and the people in Susa saw [it] and rejoiced.
16 Ezalaki tango ya kosepela mpe ya esengo, tango ya feti mpe ya lokumu mpo na Bayuda.
And the Jews had light and gladness,
17 Kati na bituka nyonso, bingumba nyonso mpe bisika nyonso oyo bazwaki sango ya mobeko ya mokonzi, ezalaki tango ya esengo, ya kosepela, ya kolia mpe ya feti kati na Bayuda. Bato ebele ya bikolo mosusu, oyo bazalaki elongo na bango kati na mboka bamikomisaki Bayuda; pamba te somo ya Bayuda elongaki makanisi na bango.
in every city and province wherever the ordinance was published: wherever the proclamation took place, the Jews had joy and gladness, feasting and mirth: and many of the Gentiles were circumcised, and became Jews, for fear of the Jews.
