< Esther 8 >

1 On that day, King Ahasuerus gave the house of Haman, the Jews’ enemy, to Esther the queen. Mordecai came before the king; for Esther had told what he was to her.
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.
2 The king took off his ring, which he had taken from Haman, and gave it to Mordecai. Esther set Mordecai over the house of Haman.
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.
3 Esther spoke yet again before the king, and fell down at his feet and begged him with tears to put away the mischief of Haman the Agagite, and his plan that he had planned against the Jews.
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.
4 Then the king held out to Esther the golden scepter. So Esther arose, and stood before the king.
Mokonzi asembolaki lingenda ya wolo ya bokonzi na ye epai ya Ester. Bongo Ester alamukaki mpe atelemaki liboso na ye.
5 She said, “If it pleases the king, and if I have found favor in his sight, and the thing seems right to the king, and I am pleasing in his eyes, let it be written to reverse the letters devised by Haman, the son of Hammedatha the Agagite, which he wrote to destroy the Jews who are in all the king’s provinces.
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.
6 For how can I endure to see the evil that would come to my people? How can I endure to see the destruction of my relatives?”
Ndenge nini ngai nakoki komona pasi kokweyela bato na ngai to komona kobebisama ya libota na ngai?
7 Then King Ahasuerus said to Esther the queen and to Mordecai the Jew, “See, I have given Esther the house of Haman, and they have hanged him on the gallows because he laid his hand on the Jews.
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.
8 Write also to the Jews as it pleases you, in the king’s name, and seal it with the king’s ring; for the writing which is written in the king’s name, and sealed with the king’s ring, may not be reversed by any man.”
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.
9 Then the king’s scribes were called at that time, in the third month, which is the month Sivan, on the twenty-third day of the month; and it was written according to all that Mordecai commanded to the Jews, and to the local governors, and the governors and princes of the provinces which are from India to Ethiopia, one hundred twenty-seven provinces, to every province according to its writing, and to every people in their language, and to the Jews in their writing, and in their language.
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.
10 He wrote in the name of King Ahasuerus, and sealed it with the king’s ring, and sent letters by courier on horseback, riding on royal horses that were bred from swift steeds.
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.
11 In those letters, the king granted the Jews who were in every city to gather themselves together and to defend their lives—to destroy, to kill, and to cause to perish all the power of the people and province that would assault them, their little ones and women, and to plunder their possessions,
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.
12 on one day in all the provinces of King Ahasuerus, on the thirteenth day of the twelfth month, which is the month Adar.
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.
13 A copy of the letter, that the decree should be given out in every province, was published to all the peoples, that the Jews should be ready for that day to avenge themselves on their enemies.
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.
14 So the couriers who rode on royal horses went out, hastened and pressed on by the king’s commandment. The decree was given out in the citadel of Susa.
Na etinda ya mokonzi, bantoma oyo batambolaka na mpunda ya mokonzi babimaki na lombangu mpe bapanzaki sango ya mobeko yango kati na engumba Size.
15 Mordecai went out of the presence of the king in royal clothing of blue and white, and with a great crown of gold, and with a robe of fine linen and purple; and the city of Susa shouted and was glad.
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.
16 The Jews had light, gladness, joy, and honor.
Ezalaki tango ya kosepela mpe ya esengo, tango ya feti mpe ya lokumu mpo na Bayuda.
17 In every province and in every city, wherever the king’s commandment and his decree came, the Jews had gladness, joy, a feast and a holiday. Many from among the peoples of the land became Jews, for the fear of the Jews had fallen on them.
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.
