< Ester 9 >

1 Mokolo ya zomi na misato ya sanza ya zomi na mibale, sanza ya Adari, mokolo oyo mobeko ya mokonzi esengelaki kokokisama, ekokaki. Ezalaki mokolo oyo banguna ya Bayuda bakanisaki ete bakokonza Bayuda; nzokande makambo ebongwanaki mpe Bayuda bakomaki kokonza bato oyo bazalaki koyina bango.
So in the twelft moneth, which is the moneth Adar, vpon the thirteenth daye of the same, when the Kings commandement and his decree drew neere to be put in execution, in the day that the enemies of the Iewes hoped to haue power ouer them (but it turned contrary: for the Iewes had rule ouer them that hated them)
2 Kati na bingumba na bango, kati na bituka nyonso ya mokonzi Kizerisesi, Bayuda basanganaki mpo na kobundisa bato nyonso oyo bolukaki kobebisama na bango. Ekolo moko te ezalaki na makoki ya kotelemela bango, pamba te bato ya bikolo nyonso mosusu oyo bazalaki elongo na bango kati na mboka bazalaki na somo na bango.
The Iewes gathered themselues together into their cities throughout all the prouinces of the King Ahashuerosh, to lay hande on such as sought their hurt, and no man coulde withstande them: for the feare of them fel vpon al people.
3 Bakalaka nyonso ya bituka, bayangeli ya bituka oyo mokonzi atiaki, bayangeli mpe bakalaka ya mokonzi basungaki Bayuda, pamba te bazalaki na somo monene ya Maridoshe.
And all the rulers of the prouinces, and the princes and the captaines, and the officers of the King exalted the Iewes: for the feare of Mordecai fell vpon them.
4 Maridoshe akomaki moto monene kati na ndako ya mokonzi: lokumu na ye epanzanaki kati na bituka nyonso, pamba te nguya na ye ezalaki komata se komata, mokolo na mokolo.
For Mordecai was great in the kings house, and the report of him went through all the prouinces: for this man Mordecai waxed greater and greater.
5 Bayuda babebisaki banguna na bango nyonso na mopanga, babomaki bango mpe babebisaki bango; basalaki bato oyo bazalaki koyina bango makambo nyonso oyo basepelaki kosala.
Thus the Iewes smote all their enemies with strokes of the sworde and slaughter, and destruction, and did what they woulde vnto those that hated them.
6 Kaka na engumba Size, Bayuda babomaki mpe babebisaki bato nkama mitano.
And at Shushan the palace slewe the Iewes and destroyed fiue hundreth men,
7 Babomaki mpe lisusu Parishandata, Dalifoni, Asipata;
And Parshandatha, and Dalphon, and Aspatha,
8 Porata, Adalia mpe Aridata;
And Poratha, and Adalia, and Aridatha,
9 Parimashita, Arizayi, Aridayi mpe Vayezata;
And Parmashta, and Arisai, and Aridai, and Vaiezatha,
10 bana mibali zomi ya Amani, mwana mobali ya Amedata, monguna na Bayuda, kasi batikalaki te kozwa bomengo ya bitumba.
The ten sonnes of Haman, ye sonne of Ammedatha, the aduersarie of the Iewes slewe they: but they layd not their hands on the spoyle.
11 Kaka na mokolo wana, bayebisaki mokonzi motango ya bato oyo babomaki kati na engumba Size.
On the same day came ye nomber of those that were slayne, vnto the palace of Shushan before the King.
12 Mokonzi alobaki na Ester, mwasi ya mokonzi: — Kati na engumba Size, Bayuda babomi mpe babebisi bato nkama mitano elongo na bana mibali zomi ya Amani. Basali nini kati na bituka mosusu ya mokonzi? Sik’oyo, posa na yo ezali nini? Bosenga na yo ezali nini? Ekopesamela yo.
And the King sayd vnto the Queene Ester, The Iewes haue slayne in Shushan the palace and destroyed fiue hundreth men, and the ten sonnes of Haman: what haue they done in the rest of the Kings prouinces? and what is thy petition, that it may be giuen thee? or what is thy request moreouer, that it may be performed?
13 Ester azongisaki: — Soki mokonzi asepeli, tika ete Bayuda oyo bazali kati na engumba Size bazwa lisusu ndingisa ya kokokisa lobi, mobeko ya mokonzi ndenge esalemi lelo mpe badiembika na nzete, bana mibali zomi ya Amani.
Then sayd Ester, If it please the King, let it be granted also to morow to the Iewes that are in Shushan, to do according vnto this daies decree, that they may hang vpon ye tree Hamans ten sonnes.
14 Mokonzi apesaki ndingisa ete esalema bongo. Bapanzaki sango ya mobeko yango na engumba Size mpe badiembikaki bana mibali zomi ya Amani.
And the King charged to doe so, and the decree was giuen at Shushan, and they hanged Hamans ten sonnes.
15 Bayuda oyo bazalaki kovanda kati na engumba Size basanganaki na mokolo ya zomi na minei, ya sanza ya Adari, mpe bobomaki bato nkama misato; kasi batikalaki kozwa bomengo ya bitumba te.
So the Iewes that were in Shushan, assembled themselues vpon the fourteenth day of the moneth Adar, and slew three hundreth men in Shushan, but on the spoyle they layd not their hand.
16 Bayuda mosusu oyo bazalaki kovanda kati na bituka ya mokonzi, bango mpe basanganaki mpo na komibatela mpe bazwaki bopemi liboso ya banguna na bango.
And the rest of the Iewes that were in the Kings prouinces assembled themselues, and stood for their liues, and had rest from their enemies, and slewe of them that hated them, seuentie and fiue thousand: but they layd not their hand on the spoyle.
17 Na mokolo ya zomi na misato ya sanza ya Adari, babomaki bato nkoto tuku sambo na mitano kati na banguna na bango, kasi batikalaki kozwa bomengo ya bitumba te. Bongo na mokolo ya zomi na minei, bapemaki mpe bakomisaki yango mokolo ya feti mpe ya esengo.
This they did on the thirteenth day of the moneth Adar, and rested the fourteenth day thereof, and kept it a day of feasting and ioy.
18 Nzokande, Bayuda oyo bazalaki kovanda kati na engumba Size basanganaki na mokolo ya zomi na misato mpe ya zomi na minei; bongo na mokolo ya zomi na mitano, bapemaki mpe bakomisaki yango mokolo ya feti mpe ya esengo.
But the Iewes that were in Shushan assembled themselues on the thirteenth day, and on the fourteenth therof, and they rested on the fifteenth of the same, and kept it a day of feasting and ioy.
19 Yango wana Bayuda oyo bavandaka na bingumba ezanga bamir bakomisa mokolo ya zomi na minei ya sanza ya Adari, mokolo ya esengo mpe ya feti, mokolo oyo bakabelanaka bakado kati na bango.
Therefore the Iewes of the villages that dwelt in the vnwalled townes, kept the foureteenth day of the moneth Adar with ioy and feasting, euen a ioyfull day, and euery one sent presents vnto his neighbour.
20 Maridoshe akomaki makambo oyo nyonso mpe atindaki mikanda epai ya Bayuda nyonso oyo bazalaki kati na bituka ya mokonzi Kizerisesi, epai ya ba-oyo bazalaki pene mpe epai ya ba-oyo bazalaki mosika
And Mordecai wrote these words, and sent letters vnto all the Iewes that were through all the prouinces of the King Ahashuerosh, both neere and farre,
21 ete basalaka feti na mibu nyonso, na mokolo ya zomi na minei mpe ya zomi na mitano ya sanza ya Adari,
Inioyning them that they shoulde keepe the fourteenth day of the moneth Adar, and the fifteenth day of the same, euery yeere.
22 mpo ete ezali na mikolo oyo nde Bayuda bazwaki bopemi liboso ya banguna na bango, na sanza oyo nde mawa na bango ebongwanaki esengo mpe kolela na bango ekomaki feti. Akomelaki bango mpo ete bakomisa mikolo oyo, mikolo ya feti mpe ya esengo; mikolo ya kopesana bango na bango bakado ya biloko ya kolia mpe ya kopesa bakado epai ya babola.
According to the dayes wherein the Iewes rested from their enemies, and the moneth which was turned vnto them from sorowe to ioy, and from mourning into a ioyfull day, to keepe them the dayes of feasting, and ioy, and to sende presents euery man to his neyghbour, and giftes to the poore.
23 Bayuda bandimaki kokoba kosala feti oyo mpe bakomaki kosala makambo oyo Maridoshe akomelaki bango.
And the Iewes promised to do as they had begun, and as Mordecai had written vnto them,
24 Pamba te Amani, mwana mobali ya Amedata, moto ya mboka Agagi, monguna ya Bayuda nyonso, asalelaki Bayuda likita mpo na kobebisa bango; abetaki Puri, oyo ezali « zeke, » mpo na kufa mpe libebi na bango.
Because Haman the sonne of Hammedatha the Agagite al the Iewes aduersarie, had imagined against the Iewes, to destroy them, and had cast Pur (that is a lot) to consume and destroy them.
25 Kasi tango mokonzi ayokaki sango ya likita ya Amani, akomaki mobeko kati na mokanda mpo ete makanisi mabe oyo Amani abongisaki mpo na Bayuda ekweya na moto na ye moko mpe, lisusu, badiembika ye elongo na bana na ye ya mibali, na nzete.
And when she came before the King, he commanded by letters, Let this wicked deuise (which he imagined against the Iewes) turne vpon his owne head, and let them hang him and his sonnes on the tree.
26 Yango wana babengaka mokolo yango Purimi (ewuti na kombo Puri oyo elakisi zeke). Mpo na makambo nyonso oyo Maridoshe akomaki na mokanda, mpo na makambo nyonso oyo bamonaki mpe makambo nyonso oyo ekomelaki bango,
Therfore they called these dayes Purim, by the name of Pur, and because of all the wordes of this letter, and of that which they had seene besides this, and of that which had come vnto them.
27 Bayuda bakataki mpe bandimaki ete yango ekoma ezaleli mpo na bango, ezaleli ya bakitani na bango mpe ya bato nyonso oyo bakosangana na bango, mpo ete batosaka kosala feti ya mikolo oyo mibale, na mibu nyonso, ndenge ekatama na tango na yango.
The Iewes also ordeined, and promised for them and for their seede, and for all that ioyned vnto them, that they would not faile to obserue those two dayes euery yeere, according to their writing, and according to their season,
28 Milongo nyonso mpe mabota nyonso ekosala feti na mikolo oyo kati na bituka nyonso mpe bingumba nyonso. Bayuda bakoki kotika te kosala feti na mikolo ya Purimi, mpe ekaniseli na yango ekoki kolimwa te kati na bakitani na bango.
And that these dayes shoulde be remembred, and kept throughout euery generation and euery familie, and euery prouince, and euery citie: euen these daies of Purim should not faile among the Iewes, and the memoriall of them should not perish from their seede.
29 Boye, Ester, mwasi ya mokonzi, mwana mwasi ya Abiyaili, elongo na Moyuda Maridoshe, basalelaki bokonzi na bango mpe bakomaki mokanda mosusu mpo na kolendisa makambo oyo etali Purimi.
And the Queene Ester ye daughter of Abihail and Mordecai the Iew wrote with al authoritie (to cofirme this letter of Purim ye second time)
30 Maridoshe atindaki mikanda epai ya Bayuda nyonso oyo bazalaki kovanda kati na bituka nyonso nkama moko na tuku mibale na sambo ya mokili ya Kizerisesi, mpe mikanda yango ezalaki na maloba ya kimia mpe ya elikya
And he sent letters vnto al the Iewes to the hundreth and seuen and twentie prouinces of the kingdome of Ahashuerosh, with words of peace and trueth,
31 mpo na kobeta sete na tina na mikolo oyo ya Purimi ete Bayuda basengeli kosala Purimi yango na mikolo na yango oyo ekatama kolanda mokano ya Moyuda Maridoshe mpe Ester, mwasi ya mokonzi; mpe ndenge Bayuda bakataki yango mpo na bango moko mpe mpo na bakitani na bango lokola tango na bango ya kokila bilei mpe ya bileli.
To confirme these dayes of Purim, according to their seasons, as Mordecai the Iewe and Ester the Queene had appointed them, and as they had promised for them selues and for their seede with fasting and prayer.
32 Mitindo ya Ester elendisaki mibeko mpo na Purimi mpe ekomamaki na buku.
And the decree of Ester confirmed these words of Purim, and was written in the booke.
