Esther 9
1 Now on the thirteenth day of the twelfth month, which is the month Adar, when the time came for the king's order to be put into effect, on the very day when the haters of the Jews had been hoping to have rule over them; though the opposite had come about, and the Jews had rule over their haters;
Kũrĩ mũthenya wa ikũmi na ĩtatũ mweri wa ikũmi na ĩĩrĩ, nĩguo mweri wa Adari, nĩrĩo itua rĩrĩa rĩathanĩtwo nĩ mũthamaki, rĩarĩ rĩhingio. Mũthenya ũcio, thũ cia Ayahudi nĩcierĩgĩrĩire kũmahoota, no rĩrĩ, gũkĩgarũrũkana, nao Ayahudi makĩgĩa na hinya gũkĩra arĩa maamathũire.
2 On that day, the Jews came together in their towns through all the divisions of the kingdom of Ahasuerus, for the purpose of attacking all those who were attempting evil against them: and everyone had to give way before them, for the fear of them had come on all the peoples.
Ayahudi nĩmecookanĩrĩirie matũũra-inĩ mao manene mabũrũri-inĩ mothe ma Mũthamaki Ahasuerusu, nĩgeetha matharĩkĩre acio mendaga kũmaniina. Gũtirĩ mũndũ ũngĩahotire kũmeetiiria, nĩ ũndũ ndũrĩrĩ icio ingĩ ciothe nĩciametigĩrire.
3 And all the chiefs and the captains and the rulers and those who did the king's business gave support to the Jews; because the fear of Mordecai had come on them.
Nao andũ othe arĩa maarĩ igweta a mabũrũri macio, na anene a mũthamaki, na abarũthi, na arĩa mateithagĩrĩria mũthamaki gwathana magĩteithia Ayahudi, nĩ ũndũ nĩmanyiitĩtwo nĩ guoya wa gwĩtigĩra Moridekai.
4 For Mordecai was great in the king's house, and word of him went out through every part of the kingdom: for the man Mordecai became greater and greater.
Moridekai aarĩ mũndũ woĩkaine wega kũu nyũmba-inĩ ya ũthamaki; nayo ngumo yake ĩkĩhunja mabũrũri-inĩ macio mothe, nake agĩkĩrĩrĩria kũgĩa na hinya.
5 So the Jews overcame all their attackers with the sword and with death and destruction, and did to their haters whatever they had a desire to do.
Ayahudi makĩhũũra thũ ciao ciothe na hiũ cia njora, magĩciũraga magĩciniina, na magĩĩka thũ ciao, o icio ciamathũire, o ũrĩa wothe mangĩendire gũciĩka.
6 And in Shushan the Jews put to death five hundred men.
Nyũmba-inĩ ya mũthamaki kũu Shushani, Ayahudi nĩmooragire na makĩniina andũ magana matano.
7 They put to death Parshandatha, Dalphon, Aspatha,
Ningĩ nĩmooragire Parishandatha, na Dalifoni, na Asipatha,
8 Poratha, Adalia, Aridatha,
na Poratha, na Adalia, na Aridatha,
9 Parmashta, Arisai, Aridai, and Vaizatha,
na Parimashata, na Arisai, na Aridai, na Vaizatha,
10 The ten sons of Haman the son of Hammedatha, the hater of the Jews; but they put not a hand on any of their goods.
na nĩo ariũ ikũmi a Hamani mũrũ wa Hamedatha, ũrĩa warĩ thũ ya Ayahudi. No matiigana gũtaha indo ciao.
11 On that day the number of those who had been put to death in the town of Shushan was given to the king.
Mũigana wa andũ arĩa mooragĩirwo nyũmba-inĩ ya mũthamaki kũu Shushani nĩwakinyĩirio mũthamaki mũthenya o ro ũcio.
12 And the king said to Esther the queen, The Jews have put five hundred men to death in Shushan, as well as the ten sons of Haman: what then have they done in the rest of the kingdom! Now what is your prayer? for it will be given to you; what other request have you? and it will be done.
Nake mũthamaki akĩĩra Esiteri mũtumia wa mũthamaki atĩrĩ, “Ayahudi nĩmoragĩte na makaniina andũ magana matano o na ariũ ikũmi a Hamani thĩinĩ wa nyũmba ya ũthamaki kũu gĩikaro kĩrĩa kĩirigĩre gĩa Shushani. Hihi mekĩte atĩa mabũrũri-inĩ marĩa mangĩ ma mũthamaki? Atĩrĩrĩ, ihooya rĩaku nĩ rĩrĩkũ? Nĩũkũhingĩrio. Na nĩ ũndũ ũrĩkũ ũrooria ũheo? O naguo ũndũ ũcio nĩũkũheo.”
13 Then Esther said, If it is the king's pleasure, let authority be given to the Jews in Shushan to do tomorrow as has been done today, and let orders be given for the hanging of Haman's ten sons.
Esiteri agĩcookia atĩrĩ, “Mũthamaki angĩona kwagĩrĩire-rĩ, ĩtĩkĩria Ayahudi arĩa marĩ Shushani makaahingia itua rĩĩrĩ o na rũciũ, na ũreke ciimba cia ariũ ikũmi a Hamani igaacuurio mĩtĩ-igũrũ.”
14 And the king said that this was to be done, and the order was given out in Shushan, and the hanging of Haman's ten sons was effected.
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio mũthamaki agĩathana gwĩkwo ũguo. Itua rĩkĩhĩtũkio kũu Shushani, nao magĩcuuria ciimba cia ariũ acio ikũmi a Hamani mĩtĩ-igũrũ.
15 For the Jews who were in Shushan came together again on the fourteenth day of the month Adar and put to death three hundred men in Shushan; but they put not a hand on their goods.
Ayahudi arĩa maarĩ kũu Shushani magĩcookanĩrĩra hamwe mũthenya wa ikũmi na ĩna wa mweri wa Adari, nao makĩũraga andũ magana matatũ kũu Shushani. No matiigana gũtaha indo ciao.
16 And the other Jews in every division of the kingdom came together, fighting for their lives, and got salvation from their haters and put seventy-five thousand of them to death; but they did not put a hand on their goods.
O mahinda macio-rĩ, Ayahudi arĩa angĩ maatigaire mabũrũri-inĩ marĩa mũthamaki ũcio aathamakaga o nao makĩũngana hamwe nĩguo meegitĩre, na meeyũkĩrĩrie harĩ thũ ciao. Makĩũraga andũ ngiri mĩrongo mũgwanja na ithano cia thũ ciao, no matiigana gũtaha indo ciao.
17 This they did on the thirteenth day of the month Adar; and on the fourteenth day of the same month they took their rest, and made it a day of feasting and joy.
Ũndũ ũcio wekĩkire kũrĩ mũthenya wa ikũmi na ĩtatũ mweri-inĩ wa Adari, na kũrĩ mũthenya wa ikũmi na ĩna makĩhurũka, na makĩũtua mũthenya wa ndĩa na wa gĩkeno.
18 But the Jews in Shushan came together on the thirteenth and on the fourteenth day of the month; and on the fifteenth day they took their rest, and made it a day of feasting and joy.
Na rĩrĩ, Ayahudi arĩa maarĩ Shushani, nĩmonganĩte mũthenya wa ikũmi na ĩtatũ na wa ikũmi na ĩna, naguo mũthenya wa ikũmi na ĩtano makĩhurũka na makĩũtua mũthenya wa ndĩa na wa gĩkeno.
19 So the Jews of the country places living in unwalled towns make the fourteenth day of the month Adar a day of feasting and joy and a good day, a day for sending offerings one to another.
Ũndũ ũcio nĩguo ũtũmaga Ayahudi arĩa maatũũraga tũtũũra-inĩ marũmie mũthenya wa ikũmi na ĩna wa mweri wa Adari, ũrĩ mũthenya wa gĩkeno na wa ndĩa, na mũthenya wa kũheana iheo harĩ mũndũ na ũrĩa ũngĩ.
20 And Mordecai sent letters to all the Jews in every division of the kingdom of Ahasuerus, near and far,
Moridekai nĩandĩkire maũndũ macio, na agĩtũmĩra Ayahudi othe marũa kũndũ guothe mabũrũri-inĩ ma Mũthamaki Ahasuerusu, marĩa maarĩ gũkuhĩ na marĩa maarĩ kũraya,
21 Ordering them to keep the fourteenth day of the month Adar and the fifteenth day of the same month, every year,
nĩguo makũngũyagĩre mũthenya wa ikũmi na ĩna, na wa ikũmi na ĩtano wa mweri wa Adari o mwaka,
22 As days on which the Jews had rest from their haters, and the month which for them was turned from sorrow to joy, and from weeping to a good day: and that they were to keep them as days of feasting and joy, of sending offerings to one another and good things to the poor.
arĩ rĩo ihinda rĩrĩa Ayahudi meeyũkĩrĩirie kũrĩ thũ ciao, o na arĩ guo mweri ũrĩa kĩeha kĩao gĩatuĩkire gĩkeno, namo macakaya mao magĩtuĩka mũthenya wa gũkũngũiya. Aamandĩkĩire marũmagie mĩthenya ĩyo ĩrĩ mĩthenya ya ndĩa na ya gĩkeno, na ya kũheana iheo cia irio harĩ mũndũ na ũrĩa ũngĩ, na ya kũhe athĩĩni iheo.
23 And the Jews gave their word to go on as they had been doing and as Mordecai had given them orders in writing;
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio Ayahudi magĩtĩkĩra gũthiĩ na mbere na gũkũngũĩra ũguo maambĩrĩirie, magekaga ũrĩa Moridekai aamandĩkĩire.
24 Because Haman, the son of Hammedatha the Agagite, the hater of all the Jews, had made designs for their destruction, attempting to get a decision by Pur (that is, chance) with a view to putting an end to them and cutting them off;
Nĩgũkorwo Hamani mũrũ wa Hamedatha, ũrĩa Mũagagi, o we thũ ya Ayahudi othe, nĩathugundĩte gũũkĩrĩra Ayahudi amaniine, na agĩcuuka puri (ũguo nĩ kuuga agĩcuuka mĩtĩ) nĩguo monũhwo na maniinwo.
25 But when the business was put before the king, he gave orders by letters that the evil design which he had made against the Jews was to be turned against himself; and that he and his sons were to be put to death by hanging.
No rĩrĩa ũndũ ũcio wa hitho wamenyekire nĩ mũthamaki, akĩruta watho mwandĩke wa kuuga atĩ ũũru ũcio Hamani aathugundĩire Ayahudi ũmũcookerere we mwene, o na atĩ we na ariũ ake macuurio mĩtĩ-igũrũ.
26 So these days were named Purim, after the name of Pur. And so, because of the words of this letter, and of what they had seen in connection with this business, and what had come to them,
(Nĩ ũndũ ũcio mĩthenya ĩyo ĩgĩtwo Purimu kuumana na rĩĩtwa rĩu Puri.) Nĩ ũndũ wa maũndũ mothe marĩa maandĩkĩtwo marũa-inĩ macio, na nĩ ũndũ wa ũrĩa meyoneire na nĩ ũndũ wa maũndũ marĩa maamakorire,
27 The Jews made a rule and gave an undertaking, causing their seed and all those who were joined to them to do the same, so that it might be in force for ever, that they would keep those two days, as ordered in the letter, at the fixed time every year;
Ayahudi magĩĩtua kũgĩe mũtugo wa kũrũmĩrĩrwo, nĩguo o ene, na njiaro ciao, na arĩa othe mangĩtũũrania nao, marũmagie mĩthenya ĩyo yeerĩ o mwaka mategũtĩĩrĩria, na njĩra ĩrĩa kwandĩkĩtwo, na mahinda marĩa maatuĩtwo.
28 And that those days were to be kept in memory through every generation and every family, in every division of the kingdom and every town, that there might never be a time when these days of Purim would not be kept among the Jews, or when the memory of them would go from the minds of their seed.
Mĩthenya ĩyo ĩtuĩke ya kũririkanagwo na ĩmenyagĩrĩrwo nĩ njiarwa ciothe na nyũmba ciothe, na mabũrũri-inĩ mothe na matũũra-inĩ manene mothe. Na mĩthenya ĩyo ya Purimu ndĩkanaage gũkũngũĩrwo nĩ Ayahudi, o na kana kĩririkano kĩayo kĩage njiaro-inĩ ciao.
29 Then Esther the queen, daughter of Abihail, and Mordecai the Jew, sent a second letter giving the force of their authority to the order about the Purim.
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio Esiteri, mũtumia wa mũthamaki, mwarĩ wa Abihaili, marĩ na Moridekai ũrĩa Mũyahudi, makĩandĩka marĩ na ũhoti wothe ũrĩa maarĩ naguo, nĩguo mekĩre marũa macio ma keerĩ meegiĩ Purimu hinya.
30 And he sent letters to all the Jews in the hundred and twenty-seven divisions of the kingdom of Ahasuerus, with true words of peace,
Nake Moridekai agĩtũmĩra Ayahudi othe arĩa maarĩ mabũrũri-inĩ 127 ma ũthamaki wa Ahasuerusu marũa, marĩ ciugo cia kũmeciiria wega na kũmoomĩrĩria,
31 Giving the force of law to these days of Purim at their fixed times, as they had been ordered by Mordecai the Jew and Esther the queen, and in keeping with the rules they had made for themselves and their seed, in connection with their time of going without food and their cry for help.
nĩgeetha marũmagie mĩthenya ĩyo ya Purimu mahinda marĩa matuĩtwo, o ta ũrĩa Moridekai ũrĩa Mũyahudi marĩ na Esiteri, mũtumia wa mũthamaki maamatuĩrĩire, na o ta ũrĩa meetuĩrĩire o ene, hamwe na njiaro ciao, ũhoro wĩgiĩ mahinda mao ma kwĩhinga kũrĩa irio na gũcakaya.
32 The order given by Esther gave the force of law to the rules about the Purim; and it was recorded in the book.
Itua rĩu rĩa kũrũmĩrĩrwo rĩa Esiteri nĩrĩekĩrire mawatho macio maakoniĩ Purimu hinya, naguo watho ũcio ũkĩandĩkwo mabuku-inĩ ma kĩririkano.
