¹Now in the twelfth month, which is the month Adar, on the thirteenth day of the month, when the king’s commandment and his decree drew near to be put in execution, on the day that the enemies of the Jews hoped to conquer them, (but it was turned out the opposite happened, that the Jews conquered those who hated them),

¹ A ciya handu way cindi hinkanta ra, kaŋ ga ti Adar hando, a zaari way cindi hinzanta ra, saaya kaŋ cine bonkoono lordo maan kaŋ i ga goy d'a, hano din kaŋ Yahudancey ibarey na laakal dake ngey ga du mayray i boŋ. (Haya binde bare ka ye i boŋ, hala Yahudancey du hin ngey ibarey boŋ.)

²the 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.

² Yahudancey binde margu ngey kwaarey ra nangu kulu bonkoono Zerses laabey ra, zama ngey ma borey kaŋ goono ga ceeci ka ngey zamba yaŋ din di. Boro si no mo kaŋ hin ka kay i jine, zama dumey kulu ga humbur'ey no.

³All the princes of the provinces, the satraps, the governors, and those who did the king’s business helped the Jews, because the fear of Mordecai had fallen on them.

³ Laabey kulu koyey da ngey laabukoyey da mayraykoyey da bonkoono muraadu goy-teerey na Yahudancey gaa, zama i humburu Mordekay.

⁴For 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.

⁴ Zama Mordekay gonda beeray bonkoono windo ra, a maa baaro say-say mo laabey kulu ra. Nga din, Mordekay, a beera koy jina.

⁵The 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.

⁵ Yahudancey binde na ngey ibarey kulu kar da takuba k'i wi, i n'i halaci mo. I te mate kaŋ ga kaan ngey se ngey ibarey boŋ.

⁶In the citadel of Susa, the Jews killed and destroyed five hundred men.

⁶ Susan faada ra mo Yahudancey na boro zangu gu wi k'i halaci.

⁷They killed Parshandatha, Dalphon, Aspatha,

⁷ Parsandata, da Dalfon, da Asfata,

⁸Poratha, Adalia, Aridatha,

⁸ da Porata, da Adaliya, da Aridata,

⁹Parmashta, Arisai, Aridai, and Vaizatha,

⁹ da Parmasta, da Arisay, da Ariday, da Bayizata,

¹⁰the ten sons of Haman the son of Hammedatha, the Jew’s enemy, but they didn’t lay their hand on the plunder.

¹⁰ i boro way no ize alboroyaŋ Haman Hammedata izo se (nga kaŋ ga ti Yahudancey ibara) -- i n'i kulu wi, amma i mana kambe dake arzaka baa afolloŋ gaa ka ku.

¹¹On that day, the number of those who were slain in the citadel of Susa was brought before the king.

¹¹ Zaaro din ra i kande bonkoono se borey kaŋ yaŋ i wi Susan faada ra lasaabo.

¹²The 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.”

¹² Bonkoono mo ne nga wande Esta se: «Yahudancey na boro zangu gu wi ka halaci Susan faada ra, da Haman ize arey mo, ngey boro way, sanku fa binde bonkoono laabu cindey ra waney. To, sohõ ifo no ga ti ni ŋwaarayyaŋo koyne? I ga ni no nd'a. Ifo no ni ga ceeci hala ka kaa sohõ koyne? I g'a te.»

¹³Then Esther said, “If it pleases the king, let it be granted to the Jews who are in Shushan to do tomorrow also according to this day’s decree, and let Haman’s ten sons be hanged on the gallows.”

¹³ Kala Esta ne: «D'a kaan bonkoono se, naŋ i ma yadda Yahudancey se kaŋ yaŋ go Susan ra, hala suba mo i ma te sanda hunkuna feyaŋo boŋ. I ma Haman ize aru wayo din gaaham buukoy mo sarku bunduyaŋ gaa.»

¹⁴The king commanded this to be done. A decree was given out in Shushan; and they hanged Haman’s ten sons.

¹⁴ Bonkoono binde lordi ka ne i ma te yaadin. I na fe te Susan ra. I na Haman ize arey gaaham buukoy sarku bunduyaŋ gaa, ngey boro way.

¹⁵The Jews who were in Shushan gathered themselves together on the fourteenth day also of the month Adar, and killed three hundred men in Shushan; but they didn’t lay their hand on the spoil.

¹⁵ Yahudancey kaŋ yaŋ go Susan ra margu Adar hando zaari way cindi taacanta hane. I na boro zangu hinza wi Susan ra, amma i mana lamba arzaka kulu gaa ka ku.

¹⁶The 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.

¹⁶ Yahudance cindey mo, kaŋ yaŋ go bonkoono laabey ra, ngey mo margu ka kay ngey fundey se. I fulanzam ngey ibarey gaa mo. I na ngey ibarey ra boro zambar wayye cindi gu wi, amma i mana lamba arzaka kulu gaa ka ku bo.

¹⁷This 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.

¹⁷ I na woodin te Adar hando ra a jirbi way cindi hinzanta hane, a jirbi way cindi taacanta hane binde i fulanzam. I n'a ciya batu nda bine kaani han.

¹⁸But the Jews who were in Shushan 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.

¹⁸ Amma Yahudancey kaŋ yaŋ go Susan ra margu jirbi way cindi hinzanta d'a cindi taacanta mo. Jirbi way cindi guwanta hane ngey mo fulanzam. I n'a ciya batu nda bine kaani han.

¹⁹Therefore 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 good day, and a day of sending presents of food to one another.

¹⁹ Woodin se no Yahudancey kaŋ go kawyey ra, kaŋ yaŋ goono ga goro kwaarey ra kaŋ sinda birni cinari, i ga Adar hando jirbi way cindi taacanta ciya batu nda bine kaani han, farhã zaari kaŋ i ga nooyaŋ samba ngey nda care se hane no.

²⁰Mordecai wrote these things, and sent letters to all the Jews who were in all the provinces of the king Ahasuerus, both near and far,

²⁰ Mordekay na hayey din hantum ka tirey samba Yahudancey kulu se kaŋ yaŋ go bonkoono Zerses laabey kulu ra, ngey kaŋ ga maan da ngey kaŋ ga mooru.

²¹to enjoin them that they should keep the fourteenth and fifteenth days of the month Adar yearly,

²¹ A n'i lordi ka ne i ma Adar hando jirbi way cindi taacanta da iway cindi guwanta mo beerandi jiiri kulu.

²²as 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 good day; that they should make them days of feasting and gladness, and of sending presents of food to one another, and gifts to the needy.

²² Zama i ra no Yahudancey du fulanzamay ngey ibarey boŋ. Nga mo no ga ti hando kaŋ i na bine saray bare i se ka ciya bine kaani, kunfa zaari mo bare ka ciya albarka zaari. A ne i m'i ciya batu nda bine kaani, da nooyaŋ samba care se, da talkey se nooyaŋ han yaŋ.

²³The Jews accepted the custom that they had begun, as Mordecai had written to them;

²³ Yahudancey binde soobay ka te sanda mate kaŋ cine ngey sintin d'a, sanda mate kaŋ Mordekay hantum i se mo.

²⁴because 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;

²⁴ Zama Haman Hammedata izo, Agagi bora, kaŋ ga ti Yahudancey kulu ibara, kaŋ na hiila te Yahudancey se nga ma du k'i halaci, a na Pur catu no, kaŋ a feeriyaŋ ga ti goŋ, zama nga m'i gon, nga m'i halaci mo.

²⁵but when this became known to the king, he commanded by letters that his wicked device, which he had devised against the Jews, should return on his own head, and that he and his sons should be hanged on the gallows.

²⁵ Amma waato kaŋ ciina din bangay bonkoono se, kala bonkoono lordi tirayaŋ ra ka ne hiila laalo wo kaŋ a saaware Yahudancey boŋ ma ye ka kaŋ a boŋ. Nga nda nga izey mo, i n'i sarku bunduyaŋ gaa.

²⁶Therefore they called these days “Purim, Purim is the Hebrew plural for pur, which means lot. ” 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,

²⁶ Woodin se no i na jirbey din maa daŋ Purim, Pur maa boŋ. Sanni kulu binde kaŋ go tira din ra boŋ, da haŋ kaŋ i di sanno din boŋ, da mo haŋ kaŋ du ngey,

²⁷the Jews established, and imposed on themselves, and 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;

²⁷ kala Yahudancey na farilla te. I na sarti sambu ngey boŋ da ngey banda nda boro kulu kaŋ ga nga boŋ margu nd'ey se mo, zama ciina ma si fappe se. I ne i ga jirbi hinka din beerandi jiiri kulu hantumo boŋ, da alwaato kaŋ i jisi din boŋ mo.

²⁸and 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 seed.

²⁸ I ma haggoy mo da jirbey din, i ma fongu i gaa mo, kaay da haama, i zamaney kulu ra, da almayaali kulu, da laabu kulu, da kwaara kulu. Zama i ma si fappe da Purim jirbey din Yahudancey do, i fonguyaŋ mo ma si ban i banda-bandey kulu ra.

²⁹Then Esther the queen, the daughter of Abihail, and Mordecai the Jew, wrote with all authority to confirm this second letter of Purim.

²⁹ Gaa no bonkoono wande Esta, Abihayel izo way da Yahudanca Mordekay hantum da hin sanni kulu zama i ma Purim tira hinkanta tabbatandi.

³⁰He sent letters to all the Jews, to the hundred twenty-seven provinces of the kingdom of Ahasuerus, with words of peace and truth,

³⁰ Mordekay na tirey samba mo ka koy Yahudancey kulu do, ka koy Zerses laabu zangu nda waranka cindi iyya kulu ra, ka margu nda laakal kanay da cimi sanniyaŋ.

³¹to 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 cry.

³¹ A ne i ma Purim jirbey kaŋ i kosu din tabbatandi ngey alwaatey ra, mate kaŋ Yahudanca Mordekay da bonkoono wande Esta n'i lordi boŋ, da mate kaŋ i na hin sanni te ngey boŋ se da ngey banda-bandey kulu se mo, mehaw da hẽeni ciina ra.

³²The commandment of Esther confirmed these matters of Purim; and it was written in the book.

³² Esta hin sanno mo na Purim bato din tabbatandi hal i n'a hantum tira ra.
