So in the twelft moneth, which is the moneth Adar, vpon the thirteenth daye of the same, when the Kings commandement and his decree drew neere to be put in execution, in the day that the enemies of the Iewes hoped to haue power ouer them (but it turned contrary: for the Iewes had rule ouer them that hated them)
2 Ayuda anasonkhana mʼmizinda ya zigawo zonse za Mfumu Ahasiwero kuthira nkhondo onse amene anafuna kuwawononga. Palibe amene akanalimbana nawo chifukwa anthu onse a mitundu ina anachita nawo mantha.
The Iewes gathered themselues together into their cities throughout all the prouinces of the King Ahashuerosh, to lay hande on such as sought their hurt, and no man coulde withstande them: for the feare of them fel vpon al people.
3 Ndipo akuluakulu onse a zigawo, akalonga, akazembe ndi ogwira ntchito za mfumu anathandiza Ayuda, chifukwa anachita mantha ndi Mordekai.
And all the rulers of the prouinces, and the princes and the captaines, and the officers of the King exalted the Iewes: for the feare of Mordecai fell vpon them.
4 Pajatu Mordekai anali munthu wamkulu mʼnyumba ya ufumu. Mbiri yake inafalikira zigawo zonse, ndipo mphamvu zake zinakulirakulirabe.
For Mordecai was great in the kings house, and the report of him went through all the prouinces: for this man Mordecai waxed greater and greater.
5 Motero Ayuda anakantha adani awo onse ndi lupanga, kuwapha ndi kuwawononga, ndipo anachita chimene chinawakomera kwa adani awo.
Thus the Iewes smote all their enemies with strokes of the sworde and slaughter, and destruction, and did what they woulde vnto those that hated them.
6 Ku likulu la mzinda wa Susa, Ayuda anapha ndi kuwononga anthu 500.
And at Shushan the palace slewe the Iewes and destroyed fiue hundreth men,
7 Ayuda anaphanso Parisandata, Dalifoni, Asipata,
And Parshandatha, and Dalphon, and Aspatha,
8 Porata, Adaliya, Aridata,
And Poratha, and Adalia, and Aridatha,
9 Parimasita, Arisai, Aridai ndi Vaisata,
And Parmashta, and Arisai, and Aridai, and Vaiezatha,
10 ana khumi a Hamani, mwana wa Hamedata, mdani wa Ayuda. Koma sanalande katundu wawo.
The ten sonnes of Haman, ye sonne of Ammedatha, the aduersarie of the Iewes slewe they: but they layd not their hands on the spoyle.
11 Tsiku lomwelo anawuza mfumu chiwerengero cha anthu amene anaphedwa mu likulu la mzinda wa Susa.
On the same day came ye nomber of those that were slayne, vnto the palace of Shushan before the King.
12 Mfumu inati kwa mfumukazi Estere, “Ayuda apha ndi kuwononga anthu 500 ndi ana khumi a Hamani mu likulu la mzinda wa Susa. Nanga ku zigawo zina zonse za mfumu achitako chiyani? Kodi tsopano ukupemphanso chiyani? Chimene ukupempha ndidzakupatsa. Kodi ukufuna chiyani? Chimene ukufuna ndidzakupatsa.”
And the King sayd vnto the Queene Ester, The Iewes haue slayne in Shushan the palace and destroyed fiue hundreth men, and the ten sonnes of Haman: what haue they done in the rest of the Kings prouinces? and what is thy petition, that it may be giuen thee? or what is thy request moreouer, that it may be performed?
13 Estere anayankha kuti, “Ngati chingakukomereni mfumu, apatseni chilolezo Ayuda okhala mu Susa kuti achitenso zimene achita lerozi mawa, potsata lamulo ndipo mulole kuti ana khumi a Hamani aja mitembo yawo ipachikidwe pa mtanda.”
Then sayd Ester, If it please the King, let it be granted also to morow to the Iewes that are in Shushan, to do according vnto this daies decree, that they may hang vpon ye tree Hamans ten sonnes.
14 Choncho mfumu inalamula kuti izi zichitike. Anapereka lamulo mu Susa ndipo mitembo ya ana khumi a Hamani anayipachika pa mtanda.
And the King charged to doe so, and the decree was giuen at Shushan, and they hanged Hamans ten sonnes.
15 Ayuda a mu mzinda wa Susa anasonkhana pamodzi pa tsiku la 14 la mwezi wa Adara ndipo anapha anthu 300 mu Susa, koma sanatenge katundu wawo.
So the Iewes that were in Shushan, assembled themselues vpon the fourteenth day of the moneth Adar, and slew three hundreth men in Shushan, but on the spoyle they layd not their hand.
16 Tsono Ayuda ena onse amene anali mu zigawo za mfumu anasonkhananso kudziteteza ndipo sanasautsidwenso ndi adani popeza anapha anthu 75,000 koma sanalande zofunkha zawo.
And the rest of the Iewes that were in the Kings prouinces assembled themselues, and stood for their liues, and had rest from their enemies, and slewe of them that hated them, seuentie and fiue thousand: but they layd not their hand on the spoyle.
17 Zonsezi zinachitika pa tsiku la 13 la mwezi wa Adara ndipo pa tsiku la 14 anapumula ndi kupanga tsikuli kuti likhale la madyerero ndi chikondwerero.
This they did on the thirteenth day of the moneth Adar, and rested the fourteenth day thereof, and kept it a day of feasting and ioy.
18 Koma Ayuda okhala mu Susa anasonkhana pa tsiku la 13 ndi la 14 ndipo anakonza tsiku la 15 kuti likhale tsiku la madyerero ndi chikondwerero.
But the Iewes that were in Shushan assembled themselues on the thirteenth day, and on the fourteenth therof, and they rested on the fifteenth of the same, and kept it a day of feasting and ioy.
19 Ichi ndi chifukwa chake Ayuda a ku midzi, amene amakhala mʼzithando amasunga tsiku la 14 la mwezi wa Adara ngati la madyerero ndi chikondwerero, tsiku lopatsana mphatso.
Therefore the Iewes of the villages that dwelt in the vnwalled townes, kept the foureteenth day of the moneth Adar with ioy and feasting, euen a ioyfull day, and euery one sent presents vnto his neighbour.
20 Mordekai analemba mawu awa mʼmakalata ndipo anawatumiza kwa Ayuda onse okhala mʼzigawo zonse za mfumu Ahasiwero, a pafupi ndi a kutali:
And Mordecai wrote these words, and sent letters vnto all the Iewes that were through all the prouinces of the King Ahashuerosh, both neere and farre,
21 Anati chaka chilichonse, Ayudawo azisunga tsiku la 14 ndi 15 la mwezi wa Adara,
Inioyning them that they shoulde keepe the fourteenth day of the moneth Adar, and the fifteenth day of the same, euery yeere.
22 ngati masiku amene Ayuda anapulumutsidwa kwa adani awo, ndiponso ngati mwezi umene chisoni chawo chinasandulika chimwemwe ndi kulira kwawo kunasandulika chikondwerero. Anawalembera kuti azisunga masikuwa ngati masiku a madyerero ndi chikondwerero, masiku opatsana mphatso zachakudya kwa wina ndi mnzake komanso opereka mphatso kwa osauka.
According to the dayes wherein the Iewes rested from their enemies, and the moneth which was turned vnto them from sorowe to ioy, and from mourning into a ioyfull day, to keepe them the dayes of feasting, and ioy, and to sende presents euery man to his neyghbour, and giftes to the poore.
23 Choncho Ayuda anavomereza kusunga masikuwa ngati a chikondwerero monga analembera Mordekai.
And the Iewes promised to do as they had begun, and as Mordecai had written vnto them,
24 Hamani mwana wa Hamedata, Mwagagi, mdani wa Ayuda onse, anakonza chiwembu chakupha ndi kuwononga Ayuda ndipo anachita maere otchedwa Purimu kuti awaphe ndi kuwawononga.
Because Haman the sonne of Hammedatha the Agagite al the Iewes aduersarie, had imagined against the Iewes, to destroy them, and had cast Pur (that is a lot) to consume and destroy them.
25 Koma mfumu itazindikira za chiwembuchi, inalamula kuti zilembedwe mʼmakalata kuti chiwembu chimene Hamani anakonzera Ayuda chigwere pa iye mwini, ndi kuti iye pamodzi ndi ana ake apachikidwe pa mtanda.
And when she came before the King, he commanded by letters, Let this wicked deuise (which he imagined against the Iewes) turne vpon his owne head, and let them hang him and his sonnes on the tree.
26 Ndi chifukwa chake masiku amenewa amatchedwa masiku a Purimu potsata dzina lakuti Purimu. Chifukwa cha kalata ya Mordekai ndiponso chifukwa cha zimene anaziona ndi kuwachitikira,
Therfore they called these dayes Purim, by the name of Pur, and because of all the wordes of this letter, and of that which they had seene besides this, and of that which had come vnto them.
27 Ayuda onse anagwirizana kukhazikitsa lamulo lokhudza iwo, zidzukulu zawo ndi onse amene adzapanga nawo ubale kuti asalephere kusunga masiku awiri amenewa chaka chilichonse monga zinalembedweramo ndiponso potsata nthawi imene anayika.
The Iewes also ordeined, and promised for them and for their seede, and for all that ioyned vnto them, that they would not faile to obserue those two dayes euery yeere, according to their writing, and according to their season,
28 Azisunga ndi kukumbukira masiku amenewa mu mʼbado uliwonse ndi banja lililonse, mʼchigawo chilichonse ndi mu mzinda uliwonse. Ndipo Ayuda asadzasiye kukondwerera masiku a Purimuwa ndiponso zidzukulu zawo zisadzaleke kuwakumbukira.
And that these dayes shoulde be remembred, and kept throughout euery generation and euery familie, and euery prouince, and euery citie: euen these daies of Purim should not faile among the Iewes, and the memoriall of them should not perish from their seede.
29 Choncho mfumukazi Estere, mwana wa mkazi wa Abihaili, pamodzi ndi Mordekai Myuda analemba ndi ulamuliro onse kutsimikizira kalata iyi yachiwiri yokhudza Purimu.
And the Queene Ester ye daughter of Abihail and Mordecai the Iew wrote with al authoritie (to cofirme this letter of Purim ye second time)
30 Ndipo Mordekai anatumiza makalata kwa Ayuda onse ku zigawo 127 za ufumu wa Ahasiwero. Kalatayi inali ya mawu a mtendere ndiponso a kukhulupirika
And he sent letters vnto al the Iewes to the hundreth and seuen and twentie prouinces of the kingdome of Ahashuerosh, with words of peace and trueth,
31 kuti azisunga masiku a Purimu pa nyengo imene inavomerezeka monga mmene Mordekai Myuda ndi mfumukazi Estere anawalamulira ndiponso monga anadziyikira eni okha ndi zidzukulu zawo zonena za nthawi zawo za kusala zakudya ndi kulira.

32 Lamulo la Estere linakhazikitsa mwambo wa Purimuwu ndipo zinalembedwa mʼmabuku.
And the decree of Ester confirmed these words of Purim, and was written in the booke.
