Esther 4
1 But Mardochaeus having perceived what was done, tore his garments, and put on sackcloth, and sprinkled dust upon himself; and having rushed forth through the open street of the city, he cried with a loud voice, A nation that has done no wrong is going to be destroyed.
Mordekai atamva zonse zimene zinachitika, anangʼamba zovala zake, navala chiguduli ndi kudzola phulusa, ndipo analowa mu mzinda, akulira mokweza ndi mowawidwa mtima.
2 And he came to the king's gate, and stood; for it was not lawful for him to enter into the palace, wearing sackcloth and ashes.
Ndipo anapita ndi kuyima pa chipata cha mfumu, chifukwa panalibe wina aliyense amaloledwa kulowa pa chipata cha mfumu atavala chiguduli.
3 And in every province where the letters were published, [there was] crying and lamentation and great mourning on the part of the Jews: they spread for themselves sackcloth and ashes.
Chigawo chilichonse kumene mawu a mfumu ndi lamulo lake zinafika, kunali maliro akulu pakati pa Ayuda. Iwo ankasala zakudya, kulira mofuwula ndi kumadandaula. Ambiri anavala ziguduli ndi kudzola phulusa.
4 And the queen's maids and chamberlains went in and told her: and when she had heard what was done, she was disturbed; and she sent to clothe Mardochaeus, and take away his sackcloth; but he consented not.
Anamwali otumikira mfumukazi Estere ndi adindo ake ofulidwa atabwera ndi kumuwuza za Mordekai, anavutika kwambiri. Estere anamutumizira zovala kuti avale ndi kuti avule chiguduli chake koma Mordekai sanalole zimenezo.
5 So Esther called for her chamberlain Achrathaeus, who waited upon her; and she sent to learn the truth from Mardochaeus.
Kenaka Estere anayitana Hataki, mmodzi wa adindo a mfumu ofulidwa amene anayikidwa kuti azimutumikira kuti apite kwa Mordekai kuti akamve chimene chimamuvuta komanso chifukwa chochitira zimenezi.
Choncho Hataki anapita kwa Mordekai ku bwalo la mzinda patsogolo pa chipata cha mfumu.
7 And Mardochaeus showed him what was done, and the promise which Aman had made the king of ten thousand talents [to be paid] into the treasury, that he might destroy the Jews.
Mordekai anamuwuza zonse zimene zinamuchitikira kuphatikizapo mtengo weniweni wa ndalama zimene Hamani analonjeza kupereka mosungira chuma cha mfumu za anthu amene adzawononge a Yuda.
8 Also he gave him the copy of the writing of the decree that was given at Shushan to destroy them, to shew [it] unto Esther, and to declare [it] unto her, and to charge her that she should go in unto the king, to make supplication unto him, and to make request before him for her people.
Mordekai anamupatsanso imodzi mwa makalata a ulamuliro wonena za chiwembuchi amene anawasindikiza ku Susa kukamuonetsa ndi kumufotokozera zonse Estere. Anamuwuzanso kuti akamudandaulire kuti akapite kwa mfumu kukapempha chifundo ndi kuyidandaulira chifukwa cha anthu a mtundu wake.
9 So Achrathaeus went in and told her all these words.
Hataki anabwerera ndi kumufotokozera Estere zimene Mordekai ananena.
10 And Esther said to Achrathaeus, Go to Mardochaeus, and say,
Ndipo Estere anamutuma Hataki kuti akanene kwa Mordekai kuti,
11 All the nations of the empire know, that whoever, man or woman, shall go in to the king into the inner court uncalled, that person can’t live: only to whoever the king shall stretch out [his] golden sceptre, he shall live: and I have not been called to go into the king, for these thirty days.
“Atumiki onse amfumu ndi anthu a zigawo za mfumu ankadziwa kuti mwamuna kapena mkazi aliyense akalowa ku bwalo lake la mʼkati mosayitanidwa ndi mfumu pali lamulo limodzi: lamuloli ndi lakuti aphedwe. Zimasintha pokhapokha ngati mfumu iloza munthuyo ndi ndodo yagolide kuti akhale ndi moyo. Koma papita masiku makumi atatu ndisanayitanidwe ndi mfumu.”
12 And Achrathaeus reported to Mardochaeus all the words of Esther.
Tsono Mordekai anawuzidwa mawu a Estere.
13 Then Mardochaeus said to Achrathaeus, Go, and say to her, Esther, say not to yourself that you alone will escape in the kingdom, more than all the [other] Jews.
Kenaka Mordekai anawawuza kuti akamuyankhe Estere motere: “Usaganize kuti iwe wekha mwa Ayuda onse udzapulumuka chifukwa chakuti uli mʼnyumba ya mfumu.
14 For if you shall refuse to listen on this occasion, help and protection will be to the Jews from another quarter; but you and your father's house will perish: and who knows, if you have been made queen for this [very] occasion?
Pakuti ngati ukhalatu chete nthawi ino, chithandizo ndi chipulumutso cha Ayuda zidzachokera kwina nʼkutheka kuti iwe ndi a pa banja la makolo ako mudzafa. Ndipo adziwa ndani mwina unalowa ufumu chifukwa cha nthawi ngati imeneyi?”
15 And Esther sent the [man] that came to her to Mardochaeus, saying,
Pamenepo Estere anatumiza yankho ili kwa Mordekai:
16 Go and assemble the Jews that are in Susa, and fast you for me, and eat not and drink not for three days, night and day: and I also and my maidens will fast; and then I will go in to the king contrary to the law, even if I must die.
“Pitani, mukasonkhanitse pamodzi Ayuda onse amene ali mu Susa ndipo mundisalire chakudya. Musadye kapena kumwa kwa masiku atatu, usiku ndi usana. Ine ndi anamwali anga onditumikira tidzasala chakudya monga inu. Izi zikachitika, ine ndidzapita kwa mfumu, ngakhale kutero ndikutsutsana ndi lamulo. Ndipo ngati nʼkufa ndife ndithu.”
17 So Mardochaeus went and did all that Esther commanded him.
Choncho Mordekai anapita ndi kuchita monga Estere anamupemphera.
