< Ester 9 >

1 Ita, iti maika-12 a bulan, nga isu ti bulan ti Adar, iti maika-13 nga aldaw, idi umadanin ti pannakaipatungpal ti linteg ken bilin a naipaulog iti nagan ti ari, iti aldaw a ninamnama dagiti kabusor dagiti Judio a manggun-odda iti pannakabalin kadakuada, nabaliktad daytoy. Nagun-od dagiti Judio iti pannakabalin kadagiti kabusorda.
Now in the twelfth month, which is the month Adar, on the thirteenth day of the same, when the king’s commandment and his decree drew near to be put in execution, in the day that the enemies of the Jews hoped to have rule over them; whereas it was turned to the contrary, that the Jews had rule over them that hated them;
2 Nagguummong dagiti Judio kadagiti siudadda iti amin a probinsia ni Ari Ahasuero, tapno ipatayda dagiti imada kadagiti nangpadas a nangiyeg iti didigra kadakuada. Awan ti makalapped kadakuada, ta ti panagbuteng kadagiti Judio ket nagdissuor kadagiti amin a tattao.
the Jews gathered themselves together in their cities throughout all the provinces of the king Ahasuerus, to lay hand on such as sought their hurt: and no man could withstand them; for the fear of them was fallen upon all the peoples.
3 Tinulongan dagiti amin nga opisial kadagiti probinsia, dagiti gobernador iti probinsia, dagiti gobernador, ken dagiti administrador ti ari dagiti Judio gapu ta nagdisuor kadakuada ti panagbuteng kenni Mardokeo.
And all the princes of the provinces, and the satraps, and the governors, and they that did the king’s business, helped the Jews; because the fear of Mordecai was fallen upon them.
4 Ta mabigbigbig unayen ni Mardokeo iti balay ti ari, ken nagsaknap ti kinalatakna iti amin a probinsia, ta ti lalaki a ni Mardokeo ket bumilbileg.
For Mordecai was great in the king’s house, and his fame went forth throughout all the provinces: for the man Mordecai waxed greater and greater.
5 Rinaut dagiti Judio dagiti kabusorda babaen iti kampilan, pinapatay ken dinaddadaelda ida, ken inaramidda ti pakaay-aywanda kadagiti kabusorda.
And the Jews smote all their enemies with the stroke of the sword, and with slaughter and destruction, and did what they would unto them that hated them.
6 Iti mismo a sarikedked ti Susa, pinapatay ken dinadael dagiti Judio ti limagasut a lallaki.
And in Shushan the palace the Jews slew and destroyed five hundred men.
7 Pinapatayda da Parsandata, Dalfon, Asfata,
And Parshandatha, and Dalphon, and Aspatha,
8 Porata, Adalia, Aridata,
and Poratha, and Adalia, and Aridatha,
9 Parmasta, Arisai, Aridai, Vaizata,
and Parmashta, and Arisai, and Aridai, and Vaizatha,
10 ken dagiti sangapulo a putot a lallaki ni Haman a puto a lalaki ni Hamadata, a kabusor dagiti Judio. Ngem saanda a nangsamsam.
the ten sons of Haman the son of Hammedatha, the Jews’ enemy, slew they; but on the spoil they laid not their hand.
11 Iti dayta nga aldaw, naipadamag iti ari ti bilang dagiti napapatay idiay Susa, ti nasarikedkedan a siudad.
On that day the number of those that were slain in Shushan the palace was brought before the king.
12 Kinuna ti ari kenni Reyna Ester, “Pinapatay dagiti Judio ti limagasut a lallaki idiay siudad ti Susa, agraman dagiti sangapulo a putot a lallaki ni Haman. Ania ngarud ti inaramidda kadagiti dadduma a probinsia ti ari? Ita, ania ti dawatmo? Maipaayto daytoy kenka. Ania ti kiddawmo? Maipaayto daytoy kenka.”
And the king said unto Esther the queen, The Jews have slain and destroyed five hundred men in Shushan the palace, and the ten sons of Haman; what then have they done in the rest of the king’s provinces! Now what is thy petition? and it shall be granted thee: or what is thy request further? and it shall be done.
13 Kinuna ni Ester, “No makaay-ayo daytoy iti ari, mapalubosan koma dagiti Judio nga adda idiay Susa nga aramidenda daytoy a bilin a naipaulog iti nagan ti ari iti daytoy nga aldaw uray pay inton bigat, ken palubosam koma a maibitin iti pagbitayan dagiti bagi dagiti sangapulo a putot a lallaki ni Haman.”
Then said Esther, If it please the king, let it be granted to the Jews which are in Shushan to do tomorrow also according unto this day’s decree, and let Haman’s ten sons be hanged upon the gallows.
14 Isu nga imbilin ti ari a maaramid ti kasta. Nangipaulog ti ari ti maysa a bilin idiay Susa, ket imbitinda ti sangapulo a putot a lallaki ni Haman.
And the king commanded it so to be done: and a decree was given out in Shushan; and they hanged Haman’s ten sons.
15 Naguummong dagiti Judio nga adda idiay Susa idi maika-14 nga aldaw iti bulan ti Adar, ken pinapatayda iti tallogasut pay a lallaki idiay Susa, ngem saanda a nangsamsam.
And the Jews that were in Shushan gathered themselves together on the fourteenth day also of the month Adar, and slew three hundred men in Shushan; but on the spoil they laid not their hand.
16 Naguummong dagiti nabatbati a Judio nga adda kadagiti probinsia ti ari tapno salaknibanda dagiti biagda, ken nakainanada manipud kadagiti kabusorda ket pinapatayda dagiti 75, 000 kadagidiay kabusorda, ngem saanda a nangsamsam kadagiti gameng dagiti napapatayda.
And the other Jews that were in the king’s provinces gathered themselves together, and stood for their lives, and had rest from their enemies, and slew of them that hated them seventy and five thousand; but on the spoil they laid not their hand.
17 Iti maika-13 nga aldaw ti bulan ti Adar, iti maika-14 nga aldaw, naginana ken inaramidda dayta nga aldaw a padaya ken panagraragsak.
[This was done] on the thirteenth day of the month Adar; and on the fourteenth day of the same they rested, and made it a day of feasting and gladness.
18 Ngem naguummong dagiti Judio idiay Susa idi maika-13 ken maika-14 nga aldaw. Iti maika-15 nga aldaw, naginanada ket inaramidda daytoy nga aldaw a padaya ken panagraragsak.
But the Jews that were in Shushan assembled together on the thirteenth [day] thereof, and on the fourteenth thereof; and on the fifteenth [day] of the same they rested, and made it a day of feasting and gladness.
19 Dayta ti gapuna no apay a nginilin dagiti Judio kadagiti barbarrio, dagiti nangaramid kadagiti babbalayda kadagiti ili ti maika-14 nga aldaw ti bulan ti Adar a kas aldaw a panagraragsak ken padaya, ken kas aldaw nga agpipinnatulodda kadagiti sagut a makan iti maysa ken maysa.
Therefore do the Jews of the villages, that dwell in the unwalled towns, make the fourteenth day of the month Adar [a day of] gladness and feasting, and a good day, and of sending portions one to another.
20 Insurat ni Mardokeo dagitoy a banbanag ken impatulodna ti surat kadagiti amin a Judio iti probinsia ni ari Ahasuero, asideg man ken adayo,
And Mordecai wrote these things, and sent letters unto all the Jews that were in all the provinces of the king Ahasuerus, both nigh and far,
21 a mangibilbilin a ngilinenda ti maika-14 ken maika-15 nga aldaw ti Adar a tinawen.
to enjoin them that they should keep the fourteenth day of the month Adar, and the fifteenth day of the same, yearly,
22 Dagitoy dagiti aldaw idi nakainana dagiti Judio manipud kadagiti kabusorda, ken ti tiempo nga ti ladingitda ket nagbalin a rag-o, ken manipud iti panagleddaang a nagbalin nga aldaw a naisangsangayan. Masapul nga aramidenda daytoy nga aldaw ti padaya ken panagraragsak, ken ti panagpipinnatulodda kadagiti sagut a makan iti maysa ken maysa, ken sagsagut kadagiti marigrigat.
as the days wherein the Jews had rest from their enemies, and the month which was turned unto them from sorrow to gladness, and from mourning into a good day: that they should make them days of feasting and gladness, and of sending portions one to another, and gifts to the poor.
23 Isu nga intultuloy dagiti Judio ti narugianda a panagrambak, ar-aramidenda no ania ti insurat ni Mardokeo kadakuada.
And the Jews undertook to do as they had begun, and as Mordecai had written unto them;
24 Iti dayta a tiempo, ni Haman a putot a lalaki ni Hammedata a nagtaud iti kaputotan ni Agag, ti kabusor dagiti amin nga Judio, ket naggandat iti maibusor kadagiti Judio tapno dadaelenna ida, ken ipurruakna ti Pur (dayta ket, binnunotan), tapno parmeken ken dadaelen dagiti Judio.
because Haman the son of Hammedatha, the Agagite, the enemy of all the Jews, had devised against the Jews to destroy them, and had cast Pur, that is, the lot, to consume them, and to destroy them;
25 Ngem idi dimmanon daytoy a banag iti ari, nangibilin isuna babaen kadagiti surat a ti nadangkes a plano ni Haman maibusor kadagiti Judio ket maisubli iti bukodna nga ulo, ket rumbeng a maibitin isuna ken dagiti putotna a lallaki iti pagbitayan.
but when [the matter] came before the king, he commanded by letters that his wicked device, which he had devised against the Jews, should return upon his own head; and that he and his sons should he hanged on the gallows.
26 Isu nga inawaganda dagitoy nga aldaw iti Purim, a naggapu iti nagan a Pur. Gapu ta amin a nailanad iti daytoy a surat, ken amin a nakitada ken napasamak kadakuada,
Wherefore they called these days Purim, after the name of Pur. Therefore because of all the words of this letter, and of that which they had seen concerning this matter, and that which had come unto them,
27 ket inawat dagiti Judio ti baro a kaugalian ken pagrebbengan. Daytoy a kaugalian ket para kadakuada, kadagiti kaputotanda, ken ti tunggal maysa a nakitipon kadakuada. Rumbeng a rambakanda dagitoy a dua nga aldaw iti tinawen. Rambakanda dagitoy iti umno a wagas ken iti isu met laeng a tiempo iti tinawen.
the Jews ordained, and took upon them, and upon their seed, and upon all such as joined themselves unto them, so as it should not fail, that they would keep these two days according to the writing thereof, and according to the appointed time thereof, every year;
28 Masapul a rambakan ken ngilinenda dagitoy nga aldaw iti tunggal kaputotan, amin a pamilia, amin a probinsia, ken amin a siudad. Masapul a saan pulos nga agsarday dagitoy a Judio ken dagiti kaputotanda a mangngilin a sipupudno dagitoy nga aldaw ti Purim, tapno saanda a pulos a malipatan daytoy.
and that these days should be remembered and kept throughout every generation, every family, every province, and every city; and that these days of Purim should not fail from among the Jews, nor the memorial of them perish from their seed.
29 Nagsurat a nabuyogan iti amin a turay ni Reyna Ester nga anak a babai ni Abihail ken ni Mardokeo a Judio ken napasingkedan daytoy a maikadua a surat a maipanggep iti Purim.
Then Esther the queen, the daughter of Abihail, and Mordecai the Jew, wrote with all authority to confirm this second letter of Purim.
30 Naipatulod dagiti surat kadagiti amin a Judio iti 127 a probinsia iti pagarian ni Ahasuero, a mangidawdawat iti kinatalged ken kinapudno dagiti Judio.
And he sent letters unto all the Jews, to the hundred twenty and seven provinces of the kingdom of Ahasuerus, [with] words of peace and truth,
31 Pinasingkedan dagitoy a sursurat ti aldaw ti Purim iti naituding a tiempo, a kas imbilin da Mardokeo a Judio ken Reyna Ester kadagiti Judio. Inawat dagiti Judio daytoy a pagrebbengan para kadakuada ken kadagiti kaputotanda, kas ti panangawatda iti tiempo ti panagayunar ken panagun-unnoy.
to confirm these days of Purim in their appointed times, according as Mordecai the Jew and Esther the queen had enjoined them, and as they had ordained for themselves and for their seed, in the matter of the fastings and their cry.
32 Pinasingkedan ti bilin ni Ester dagitoy nga annuroten maipapan iti Purim, ket naisurat daytoy iti libro.
And the commandment of Esther confirmed these matters of Purim; and it was written in the book.
