एस्तर 8
1 त्यस दिन राजा अहासूरसले रानी एस्तरलाई यहूदीहरूका शत्रु हामानको सम्पत्ति दिए, र मोर्दकैले राजाको सामु सेवा गर्न थाले किनकि कसरी मोर्दकै उनीसित सम्बन्धित थिए भनी एस्तरले राजालाई बताएकी थिइन् ।
On that day did king Achashverosh give the house of Haman the adversary of the Jews unto Esther the queen: and Mordecai came before the king; for Esther had told what he was unto her.
2 राजाले हामानबाट लिएको आफ्नो छाप-औँठी निकालेर मोर्दकैलाई दिए । एस्तरले मोर्दकैलाई हामानको जमिनको जिम्मा दिइन् ।
And the king took off his signet-ring which he had taken away from Haman, and gave it unto Mordecai: and Esther appointed Mordecai over the house of Haman.
3 तब एस्तरले फेरि राजासित कुरा गरिन् । उनले भुइँतिर शिर झुकाइन्, र अगागी हामानले यहूदीहरूको विरुद्धमा रचेको षडयन्त्र, खराब योजनालाई रद्द गरिदिन उनले रुँदै राजालाई बिन्ती गरिन् ।
And Esther spoke again before the king, and fell down at his feet, and wept, and besought him to do away the evil of Haman the Agagite, and his device which he had devised against the Jews.
4 राजाले एस्तरतिर सुनको राजदण्ड पसारे, तब उनी उठिन् र राजाको सामु खडा भइन् ।
And the king held out toward Esther the golden sceptre; and Esther arose, and stood up before the king;
5 उनले भनिन्, “राजालाई खुसी लागेमा, र मैले हजुरको नजरमा निगाह पाएकी छु भने, राजाको सामु यो कुरो ठिक लाग्छ भने, र हजुरको नजरमा मैले हजुरलाई खुशी पार्न सकेकी छु भने, अगागी हम्मदाताको छोरा हामानद्वारा राजाका सबै प्रान्तमा भएका यहूदीहरूलाई नष्ट पार्न भनी लेखिएका चिट्ठीहरू रद्द गर्न एउटा आदेश लेखियोस् ।
And she said, If it be pleasing to the king, and if I have found grace before him, and the thing seem proper before the king, and I be pleasing in his eyes, let it be written to recall the letters, the device of Haman the son of Hammedatha the Agagite, which he hath written to exterminate the Jews who are in all the provinces of the king.
6 किनकि मेरो जातिमाथि आइपर्ने विपत्ती देख्दा म कसरी सहन सक्छु? मेरा नातेदारहरूको विनाश हेर्ने कुरा मैले कसरी सहन सक्छु?”
For how could I endure to look on the evil that is to befall my people? and how could I endure to look on the extermination of my kindred?
7 राजा अहासूरसले रानी एस्तर र यहूदी मोर्दकैलाई भने, “हेर, मैले एस्तरलाई हामानको घर दिएको छु, र तिनीहरूले त्यसलाई फाँसीको काठमा झुण्ड्याएका छन् किनकि त्यसले यहूदीहरूलाई आक्रमण गर्न खोज्दै थियो ।
Then said king Achashverosh unto Esther the queen and to Mordecai the Jew, Behold, the house of Haman have I given to Esther, and him have they hanged on the gallows, because he had stretched out his hand against the Jews.
8 राजाको नाउँमा यहूदीहरूको पक्षमा अर्को आदेश लेखे र त्यसमा राजाको औँठीले छाप लगाओ । किनकि पहिले नै राजाको नाउँमा लेखिएको आदेश जसमा राजाको औँठीको छाप लागेको छ, त्यो रद्द हुन सक्दैन ।”
But ye write yourselves concerning the Jews, as it may be good in your eyes, in the king's name, and seal it with the king's signet-ring; for a writing which is written in the king's name, and sealed with the king's signet-ring, cannot be recalled.
9 तब तेस्रो महिना अर्थात् सीवान महिनाको तेइसौँ दिनमा राजाका सचिवहरूलाई बोलाइयो । यहूदीहरूको सम्बन्धमा मोर्दकैले दिएका सबै आदेशलाई समावेश गर्दै एउटा आदेश लेखियो । भारतदेखि कूश देशसम्मका एक सय सत्ताइस प्रान्तका गभर्नरहरू, स्थानीय गभर्नरहरू र अधिकारीहरूलाई हरेक प्रान्तलाई आ-आफ्नो लिपिअनुसार र हरेक जातिलाई आफ्नै भाषामा र यहूदीहरूलाई पनि आफ्नै लिपि र भाषामा एउटा लिखित आदेश लेखियो ।
Then were called the king's scribes at that time in the third month, that is, the month Sivan, on the three and twentieth day thereof; and it was written all just as Mordecai commanded to the Jews, and to the lieutenants, and the governors and the princes of the provinces who were from India unto Ethiopia, one hundred and twenty-seven provinces, unto every province according to its writing, and unto every people according to its language, and to the Jews according to their writing, and according to their language.
10 मोर्दकैले राजा अहासूरसको नाउँमा त्यो लेखे र त्यसमा राजाको छाप-औँठीले छाप लगाए । राजको सेवामा प्रयोग गरिने छिटो कुद्ने घोडाहरूमा सवार गराएर पत्रवाहकहरूद्वारा तिनले ती चिठ्ठीहरू पठाए ।
And he wrote in the name of king Achashverosh, and sealed it with the king's signet-ring, and he sent letters through means of the swift messengers on horseback, and riders on mules, camels, and young dromedaries:
11 हरेक सहरमा भएका यहूदीहरूलाई एकसाथ भेला हुन र आ-आफ्नो जीवनको रक्षाको निम्ति संगठित हुन, अनि तिनीहरू, बालबालिका, र स्त्रीहरूलाई आक्रमण गर्ने कुनै पनि जाति वा प्रान्तका सशस्त्र मानिसहरूलाई नाश गर्न, मार्न र नामेट पार्न अनि तिनीहरूका धनदौलत लुट्न राजाले तिनीहरूलाई अनुमति दिए ।
That the king had granted to the Jews who were in every city to gather themselves together, and to stand forward for their life, to destroy, to slay, and to exterminate all the military strength of the people and province that would assault them, both little ones and women, and to plunder their property as spoil,
12 बाह्रौँ महिना वा अदार महिनाको तेह्रौँ दिनमा राजा अहासूरसका सबै प्रान्तमा यसलाई कार्यान्वयन गरिनुपर्थ्यो ।
On one day in all the provinces of king Achashverosh, on the thirteenth day of the twelfth month, which is the month Adar.
13 यो आदेशको एकप्रति नक्कल कानुनको रूपमा जारी भयो र सबै मानिसकहाँ सार्वजनिक रूपमा सूचना टाँसियो । त्यस दिन आफ्ना शत्रुहरूमाथि बदला लिन यहूदीहरू तयार रहनुपर्थ्यो ।
A copy of the writing to be given out as a law in every province, was published unto all nations, and that the Jews should be ready against that day to avenge themselves on their enemies.
14 त्यसैले पत्रवाहकहरू राजाको सेवामा प्रयोग गरिने राजकीय घोडाहरूमा सवार भए । तिनीहरू ढिलो नगरी गए । राजाको आदेशलाई शूशनस्थित राजदरबारबाट पनि जारी गरियो ।
The swift messengers that rode upon mules and camels went out, being hastened and hurried forward with the command of the king: and the law was given out at Shushan the capital.
15 तब मोर्दकैले निलो र सेतो राजकीय पोशाकहरू पहिरिए अनि सुनको ठुलो मुकुट पहिरिए र, मलमलको बैजनी वस्त्र लगाए र राजाको उपस्थितिबाट गए, अनि शूशन सहरले जयजयकार गर्यो र आनन्द मनायो ।
And Mordecai went out from the presence of the king in a royal apparel of blue and white, and with a great crown of gold, and with a cloak of fine linen and purple: and the city of Shushan was glad and joyful.
16 यहूदीहरू खुसी र प्रसन्न भए अनि तिनीहरूका निम्ति आनन्द र सम्मानको दिन भयो ।
For the Jews there was light, with joy and gladness, and honor.
17 राजाको आदेश पुगेको हरेक प्रान्त र सहरमा यहूदीहरूका माझमा खुसी र आनन्द अनि भोज र बिदाको दिन भयो । देशमा अरू विविध जातिका धेरै मानिसहरू यहूदी भए किनकि तिनीहरूमाथि यहूदीहरूको डर परेको थियो ।
And in every province, and in every city, whithersoever the king's command reached with his law, there were joy and gladness for the Jews, entertainments and a feast-day: and many of the people of the land became Jews; for the dread of the Jews had fallen upon them.
