1 A rana ta goma sha uku na watan goma sha biyu, wato, watan Adar ne za a aiwatar da dokar da sarki ya umarta. A wannan rana, abokan gāban Yahudawa suka sa zuciya za su sha ƙarfinsu, amma yanzu Zerzes ya canja, Yahudawa kuma suka yi galiba a bisa waɗanda suka ƙi jininsu.
Now in the twelfth month, which is the month Adar, on the thirteenth day of the month, when the king’s commandment and his decree came near to be put in execution, on the day that the enemies of the Jews hoped to conquer them, (but it turned out that the opposite happened, that the Jews conquered those who hated them),
2 Yahudawa suka tattaru a cikin biranensu a dukan lardunan Sarki Zerzes don su kai wa waɗanda suka nemi a hallaka su hari. Babu wanda ya tasar musu domin mutanen dukan sauran al’ummai sun jin tsoronsu.
the Jews gathered themselves together in their cities throughout all the provinces of the King Ahasuerus, to lay hands on those who wanted to harm them. No one could withstand them, because the fear of them had fallen on all the people.
3 Dukan sarakuna larduna, da hakimai, da gwamnoni da kuma ma’aikatan sarki suka taimaki Yahudawa, domin tsoron Mordekai ya kama su.
All the princes of the provinces, the local governors, the governors, and those who did the king’s business helped the Jews, because the fear of Mordecai had fallen on them.
4 Mordekai babban mutum ne a fada, sunansa ya kai ko’ina a lardunan, ikonsa ya yi ta ƙasaita gaba-gaba.
For Mordecai was great in the king’s house, and his fame went out throughout all the provinces, for the man Mordecai grew greater and greater.
5 Yahudawa suka karkashe dukan abokan gābansu da takobi, suka karkashe waɗanda suka ƙi jininsu, suka kuma hallaka su yadda suka ga dama.
The Jews struck all their enemies with the stroke of the sword, and with slaughter and destruction, and did what they wanted to those who hated them.
6 A mazaunin masarautar a Shusha, Yahudawa suka karkashe, suka kuma hallaka mutum ɗari biyar.
In the citadel of Susa, the Jews killed and destroyed five hundred men.
7 Suka kuma kashe Farshandata, da Dalfon, da Asfata,
They killed Parshandatha, Dalphon, Aspatha,
8 da Forata, da Adaliya, da Aridata,
Poratha, Adalia, Aridatha,

Parmashta, Arisai, Aridai, and Vaizatha,
10 ’ya’ya maza goma na Haman ɗan Hammedata, abokin gāban Yahudawa. Amma ba su taɓa dukiyarsu ba.
the ten sons of Haman the son of Hammedatha, the Jews’ enemy, but they didn’t lay their hand on the plunder.
11 A wannan rana, aka ba wa sarki rahoton yawan mutanen da aka kashe a mazaunin masarauta, a Shusha.
On that day, the number of those who were slain in the citadel of Susa was brought before the king.
12 Sarki ya ce wa Sarauniya Esta, “Yahudawa sun karkashe, suka kuma hallaka mutum ɗari biyar, da kuma’ya’ya maza goma na Haman a mazaunin masarauta a Shusha. Me suka yi a sauran lardunan sarki? Yanzu kuma mene ne roƙonki? Za a ba ki. Mece ce bukatarki? Za a biya miki.”
The king said to Esther the queen, “The Jews have slain and destroyed five hundred men in the citadel of Susa, including the ten sons of Haman; what then have they done in the rest of the king’s provinces! Now what is your petition? It shall be granted you. What is your further request? It shall be done.”
13 Esta ta ce, “In sarki ya yarda, yă ba wa Yahudawa da suke Shusha izini su aikata dokan nan gobe kuma, bari kuma a rataye’ya’ya maza goma na Haman a kan gumagumai.”
Then Esther said, “If it pleases the king, let it be granted to the Jews who are in Susa to do tomorrow also according to today’s decree, and let Haman’s ten sons be hanged on the gallows.”
14 Sai sarki ya ba da umarni a yi haka ɗin. Aka ba da doka a Shusha, aka kuma rataye’ya’ya maza goma na Haman.
The king commanded this to be done. A decree was given out in Susa; and they hanged Haman’s ten sons.
15 Yahudawan da suke Shusha suka taru a ran goma sha huɗu na watan Adar suka kuma karkashe mutum ɗari uku a Shusha, amma ba su taɓa dukiyarsu ba.
The Jews who were in Susa gathered themselves together on the fourteenth day also of the month Adar, and killed three hundred men in Susa; but they didn’t lay their hand on the plunder.
16 Ana cikin haka, sai saura Yahudawa waɗanda suke lardunan sarki su ma suka taru domin su kāre kansu su kuma sami hutu daga abokan gābansu. Suka karkashe mutum dubu saba’in da biyar amma ba su taɓa dukiyarsu ba.
The other Jews who were in the king’s provinces gathered themselves together, defended their lives, had rest from their enemies, and killed seventy-five thousand of those who hated them; but they didn’t lay their hand on the plunder.
17 Wannan ya faru a ran goma sha uku na watan Adar. A rana ta goma sha huɗu kuwa suka huta, suka kuma mai da ita ranar biki da kuma ta farin ciki.
This was done on the thirteenth day of the month Adar; and on the fourteenth day of that month they rested and made it a day of feasting and gladness.
18 Amma Yahudawan da suke a Shusha suka taru a rana ta goma sha uku da ta sha huɗu, sa’an nan a rana ta goma sha biyar suka huta, suka kuma mai da ita ranar biki da ta farin ciki.
But the Jews who were in Susa assembled together on the thirteenth and on the fourteenth days of the month; and on the fifteenth day of that month, they rested, and made it a day of feasting and gladness.
19 Shi ya sa Yahudawan ƙauyuka, waɗanda suke zama a karkara, suke kiyaye rana ta goma sha huɗu ta watan Adar a matsayin ranar farin ciki da ta biki, ranar ba da kyautai ga juna.
Therefore the Jews of the villages, who live in the unwalled towns, make the fourteenth day of the month Adar a day of gladness and feasting, a holiday, and a day of sending presents of food to one another.
20 Sai Mordekai ya rubuta waɗannan abubuwa, ya kuma aika wasiƙu ga dukan Yahudawa ko’ina a lardunan Sarki Zerzes, na kusa da na nesa.
Mordecai wrote these things, and sent letters to all the Jews who were in all the provinces of the King Ahasuerus, both near and far,
21 Ya sa su yi bikin kowace shekara a ranaku goma sha huɗu da goma sha biyar na watan Adar
to enjoin them that they should keep the fourteenth and fifteenth days of the month Adar yearly,
22 a matsayin lokacin da Yahudawa suka sami huta daga abokan gābansu, da kuma a matsayin watan da aka mai da baƙin cikinsu ya zama farin ciki, makokinsu kuma ya zama ranar biki. Ya rubuta musu su kiyaye ranakun a matsayin ranakun biki da na farin ciki. Su kuma ba da kyautai na abinci ga juna, da kuma kyautai ga matalauta.
as the days in which the Jews had rest from their enemies, and the month which was turned to them from sorrow to gladness, and from mourning into a holiday; that they should make them days of feasting and gladness, and of sending presents of food to one another, and gifts to the needy.
23 Ta haka, Yahudawa suka yarda su ci gaba da bikin da suka fara, suna aikata abin da Mordekai ya rubuta musu.
The Jews accepted the custom that they had begun, as Mordecai had written to them,
24 Haman ɗan Hammedata, mutumin Agag, abokin gāban dukan Yahudawa, ya ƙulla maƙarƙashiya game da Yahudawa, domin a hallaka su, ya kuma jefa fur (wato, ƙuri’a) don yă hallaka su.
because Haman the son of Hammedatha, the Agagite, the enemy of all the Jews, had plotted against the Jews to destroy them, and had cast “Pur”, that is the lot, to consume them and to destroy them;
25 Amma sa’ad da sarki ya sami labarin maƙarƙashiyar, sai ya ba da umarnai a rubuce cewa mugun shirin da Haman ya ƙulla a kan Yahudawa yă komo kansa, kuma cewa a rataye shi da’ya’yansa maza a kan gumagumai.
but when this became known to the king, he commanded by letters that his wicked plan, which he had planned against the Jews, should return on his own head, and that he and his sons should be hanged on the gallows.
26 (Saboda haka, aka kira ranakun nan Furim, daga kalma fur). Saboda dukan abin da aka rubuta cikin wannan wasiƙa da kuma abin da suka gani, da abin da ya same su.
Therefore they called these days “Purim”, from the word “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 to them,
27 Yahudawa suka ɗauki nawayar kafa al’adar cewa su, da zuriyarsu, da dukan waɗanda suka haɗa hannun da su, za su kiyaye waɗannan kwanaki biyu, kowace shekara yadda aka tsara, a kuma lokacin da aka keɓe dominsu.
the Jews established and imposed on themselves, on their descendants, and on all those who joined themselves to them, so that it should not fail that they would keep these two days according to what was written and according to its appointed time every year;
28 Za a tuna, a kuma kiyaye waɗannan kwanaki a kowane zamani, cikin kowane iyali, da kuma cikin kowane lardi, da kowace birni. Kuma kada Yahudawa su fasa yin bikin waɗannan kwanakin Furim, ko su bar jikokinsu su manta da kiyaye waɗannan ranaku biyu.
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 their memory perish from their offspring.
29 Saboda haka Sarauniya Esta,’yar Abihayil, tare da Mordekai mutumin Yahuda, suka rubuta da cikakken iko, suka tabbatar da wannan wasiƙa ta biyu game da Furim.
Then Esther the queen, the daughter of Abihail, and Mordecai the Jew wrote with all authority to confirm this second letter of Purim.
30 Mordekai kuwa ya aika da wasiƙu zuwa ga dukan Yahudawa cikin larduna 127 na masarautar Zerzes. Saƙon fatan alheri da na tabbaci,
He sent letters to all the Jews in the hundred twenty-seven provinces of the kingdom of Ahasuerus with words of peace and truth,
31 don a kafa waɗannan ranakun Furim a keɓaɓɓen lokacinsu, kamar yadda Mordekai mutumin Yahuda da Sarauniya Esta suka dokace su. Yadda kuma suka kafa wa kansu da zuriyarsu, game da lokutansu na azumi da makoki.
to confirm these days of Purim in their appointed times, as Mordecai the Jew and Esther the queen had decreed, and as they had imposed upon themselves and their descendants in the matter of the fastings and their mourning.
32 Dokar Esta ta tabbatar da waɗannan umarnai game da Furim, aka kuma rubuta ta cikin tarihi.
The commandment of Esther confirmed these matters of Purim; and it was written in the book.
