Esther 8
1 And in that day king Artaxerxes gave to Esther all that belonged to Aman the slanderer: and Mardochaeus was called by the king; for Esther had shown that he was related to her.
Tsiku lomwelo mfumu Ahasiwero anamupatsa mfumukazi Estere nyumba ya Hamani, mdani wa Ayuda. Ndipo Mordekai anafika pamaso pa mfumu, popeza Estere anamuwuza ubale wawo.
2 And the king took the ring which he had taken away from Aman, and gave it to Mardochaeus: and Esther appointed Mardochaeus over all that had been Aman's.
Mfumu inavula mphete yake yodindira imene analanda kwa Hamani ndipo Estere anamusankha Mordekai kukhala woyangʼanira nyumba ya Hamani.
3 And she spoke yet again to the king, and fell at his feet, and implored [him] to do away the mischief of Aman, and all that he had done against the Jews.
Estere anayankhulanso ndi mfumu ndipo anadzigwetsa pa mapazi ake. Uku akulira iye anapempha mfumu kuti iletse choyipa, makamaka chiwembu chimene Hamani Mwagagi anakonza kuti awononge a Yuda.
4 Then the king stretched out to Esther the golden sceptre: and Esther arose to stand near the king.
Ndipo mfumu inamuloza Estere ndi ndodo yake yagolide ndipo Estere anadzuka ndi kuyima pamaso pake.
5 And Esther said, If it seem good to you, and I have found favour [in your sight], let an order be sent that the letters sent by Aman may be reversed, that were written for the destruction of the Jews, who are in your kingdom.
Iye anati, “Ngati chikomera mfumu ndi kukukondweretsani, ngati pempho langa muliona kuti ndi loyenera ndi kuti mukondwera nane tsono mfumu ilole kuti lamulo lilembedwe kusintha mawu a mʼmakalata amene Hamani mwana wa Hamedata, Mwagagi, anatumiza ku zigawo zonse za mfumu. Paja Hamani analemba kuti Ayuda onse awonongedwe.
6 For how shall I be able to look upon the affliction of my people, and how shall I be able to survive the destruction of my kindred?
Kodi ndingapirire bwanji pamene ndi kuona tsoka likugwera anthu a mtundu wanga? Ndingapirire bwanji pamene abale anga akuwonongedwa?”
7 And the king said to Esther, If I have given and freely granted you all that was Aman's, and hanged him on a gallows, because he laid his hands upon the Jews, what do you yet further seek?
Mfumu Ahasiwero anamuyankha mfumukazi Estere ndi Mordekai Myuda kuti, “Ndapereka nyumba ya Hamani kwa Estere ndipo Hamaniyo amupachika kale pa mtanda chifukwa anafuna kuwononga Ayuda.
8 Write you also in my name, as it seems good to you, and seal [it] with my ring: for whatever [orders] are written at the command of the king, and sealed with my ring, it is not lawful to gainsay them.
Tsono inu awiri, lembani za Ayudawo monga mufunira. Mulembe mʼdzina la mfumu ndipo musindikize chizindikiro cha mphete ya mfumu popeza kuti cholembedwa mʼdzina la mfumu ndi kusindikizidwa ndi chizindikiro cha mphete ya mfumu sichingasinthidwe.”
9 So the scribes were called in the first month, which is Nisan, on the three and twentieth day of the same year; and [orders] were written to the Jews, whatever [the king had] commanded to the local governors and chiefs of the satraps, from India even to Ethiopia, a hundred and twenty-seven satraps, according to the several provinces, according to their dialects.
Nthawi yomweyo, pa tsiku la 23 la mwezi wachitatu wa Sivani, mfumu inayitana alembi ake. Analemba zonse zokhudza Ayuda monga ananenera Mordekai. Analembera akazembe, abwanamkubwa ndi nduna za zigawo 127 kuyambira ku India mpaka ku Kusi. Zimene analamula Mordekai zinalembedwa mʼzilembo za chigawo chilichonse ndi chiyankhulo cha mtundu uliwonse wa anthu. Ayudanso anawalembera mʼmalemba awo ndi chiyankhulo chawo.
10 And they were written by order of the king, and sealed with his ring, and they sent the letters by the posts:
Mordekai analemba makalatawo mʼdzina la mfumu Ahasiwero, nawadinda ndi chizindikiro cha mphete ya mfumu. Ndipo anawatumiza ndi anthu amithenga amene anakwera pa akavalo a ufumu othamanga kwambiri obadwa mu khola la ufumu.
11 wherein he charged them to use their [own] laws in every city, and to help each other, and to treat their adversaries, and those who attacked them, as they pleased,
Mʼmakalata amenewa mfumu inalola kuti Ayuda okhala mu mzinda uliwonse akhale ndi ufulu wokumana ndi kudzitchinjiriza komanso kuwononga, kupha ndi kufafaniziratu gulu lililonse la nkhondo la anthu a mtundu uliwonse kapena chigawo chimene chingawathire nkhondo. Ayudawo analoledwa kuwononga gulu lankhondo lija, ana awo ndi akazi awo komanso kuti afunkhe katundu wawo.
12 on one day in all the kingdom of Artaxerxes, on the thirteenth [day] of the twelfth month, which is Adar.
Ayuda analoledwa kuchita zimenezi mʼzigawo zonse za Mfumu Ahasiwero pa tsiku limodzi lokha la 13 la mwezi wa 12, mwezi wa Adara.
13 And let the copies be posted in conspicuous places throughout the kingdom, and let all the Jews be ready against this day, to fight against their enemies.
Mawu a mʼmakalatawo anayenera kudziwitsidwa kwa anthu a mtundu uliwonse mu chigawo chilichonse kuti ndi lamulo ndithu kwa anthu a mtundu uliwonse ndi kuti Ayuda adzakhale okonzeka pa tsikulo kulipsira kwa adani awo.
14 So the horsemen went forth with haste to perform the king's commands; and the ordinance was also published in Susa.
Atawalamulira a mfumu, amithenga aja anapita nawo makalata mwachangu, atakwera pa akavalo a mfumu. Ndipo lamulolo analiperekanso ku likulu la mzinda wa Susa.
15 And Mardochaeus went forth robed in the royal apparel, and wearing a golden crown, and a diadem of fine purple linen: and the people in Susa saw [it] and rejoiced.
Mordekai anachoka pamaso pa mfumu atavala zovala zaufumu zooneka ngati mtambo ndi zofewa zoyera, chipewa chachikulu cha golide ndi mkanjo wapepo. Ndipo mzinda wa Susa unafuwula mokondwa.
16 And the Jews had light and gladness,
Kwa Ayuda inali nthawi ya nkhope zowala ndi za chimwemwe, chikondwerero ndi ulemu.
17 in every city and province wherever the ordinance was published: wherever the proclamation took place, the Jews had joy and gladness, feasting and mirth: and many of the Gentiles were circumcised, and became Jews, for fear of the Jews.
Mʼchigawo chilichonse ndi mu mzinda uliwonse, kumene mawu a mfumu onena za lamulo lake anafika, kunali chimwemwe ndi chikondwerero pakati pa Ayuda. Linali tsiku la phwando ndi chikondwerero. Ndipo anthu ambiri a mitundu ina anazitcha Ayuda chifukwa anachita mantha ndi Ayudawo.
