Esther 9
1 For in the twelfth month, on the thirteenth day of the month which is Adar, the letters written by the king arrived.
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 In that day the adversaries of the Jews perished: for no one resisted, through fear of them.
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 For the chiefs of the satraps, and the princes and the royal scribes, honoured the Jews; for the fear of Mardochaeus lay upon 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 the order of the king was in force, that he should be celebrated in all the kingdom.
Moridekai aarĩ mũndũ woĩkaine wega kũu nyũmba-inĩ ya ũthamaki; nayo ngumo yake ĩkĩhunja mabũrũri-inĩ macio mothe, nake agĩkĩrĩrĩria kũgĩa na hinya.
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 the city Susa the Jews killed five hundred men:
Nyũmba-inĩ ya mũthamaki kũu Shushani, Ayahudi nĩmooragire na makĩniina andũ magana matano.
7 both Pharsannes, and Delphon and Phasga,
Ningĩ nĩmooragire Parishandatha, na Dalifoni, na Asipatha,
8 and Pharadatha, and Barea, and Sarbaca,
na Poratha, na Adalia, na Aridatha,
9 and Marmasima, and Ruphaeus, and Arsaeus, and Zabuthaeus,
na Parimashata, na Arisai, na Aridai, na Vaizatha,
10 the ten sons of Aman the son of Amadathes the Bugaean, the enemy of the Jews, and they plundered [their property] on the same day:
na nĩo ariũ ikũmi a Hamani mũrũ wa Hamedatha, ũrĩa warĩ thũ ya Ayahudi. No matiigana gũtaha indo ciao.
11 and the number of them that perished in Susa was rendered 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 Jews have slain five hundred men in the city Susa; and how, think you, have they used them in the rest of the country? What then do you yet ask, that it may be [done] for you?
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 And Esther said to the king, let it be granted to the Jews so to treat them tomorrow as to hand the ten sons of Aman.
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 he permitted it to be so done; and he gave up to the Jews of the city the bodies of the sons of Aman to hang.
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio mũthamaki agĩathana gwĩkwo ũguo. Itua rĩkĩhĩtũkio kũu Shushani, nao magĩcuuria ciimba cia ariũ acio ikũmi a Hamani mĩtĩ-igũrũ.
15 And the Jews assembled in Susa on the fourteenth [day] of Adar, and killed three hundred men, but plundered no property.
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 rest of the Jews who were in the kingdom assembled, and helped one another, and obtained rest from their enemies: for they destroyed fifteen thousand of them on the thirteenth [day] of Adar, but took no spoil.
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 And they rested on the fourteenth of the same month, and kept it as a day of rest with joy and gladness.
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 And the Jews in the city Susa assembled also on the fourteenth [day] and rested; and they kept also the fifteenth with joy and gladness.
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 On this account then [it is that] the Jews dispersed in every foreign land keep the fourteenth of Adar [as] a holy day with joy, sending portions each to his neighbour.
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 Mardochaeus wrote these things in a book, and sent them to the Jews, as many as were in the kingdom of Artaxerxes, both them that were near and them that were afar off,
Moridekai nĩandĩkire maũndũ macio, na agĩtũmĩra Ayahudi othe marũa kũndũ guothe mabũrũri-inĩ ma Mũthamaki Ahasuerusu, marĩa maarĩ gũkuhĩ na marĩa maarĩ kũraya,
21 to establish these [as] joyful days, and to keep the fourteenth and fifteenth of Adar;
nĩguo makũngũyagĩre mũthenya wa ikũmi na ĩna, na wa ikũmi na ĩtano wa mweri wa Adari o mwaka,
22 for on these days the Jews obtained rest from their enemies; and [as to] the month, which was Adar, in which a change was made for them, from mourning to joy, and from sorrow to a good day, to spend the whole of it [in] good days of feasting and gladness, sending portions to their friends, and 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 consented [to this] accordingly as Mardochaeus wrote to them,
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio Ayahudi magĩtĩkĩra gũthiĩ na mbere na gũkũngũĩra ũguo maambĩrĩirie, magekaga ũrĩa Moridekai aamandĩkĩire.
24 [showing] how Aman the son of Amadathes the Macedonian fought against them, how he made a decree and cast lots to destroy them utterly;
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 also how he went in to the king, telling [him] to hang Mardochaeus: but all the calamities he tried to bring upon the Jews came upon himself, and he was hanged, and his children.
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 Therefore these days were called Phrurae, because of the lots; (for in their language they are called Phrurae; ) because of the words of this letter, and [because of] all they suffered on this account, and all that happened 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 And [Mardochaeus] established it, and the Jews took upon themselves, and upon their seed, and upon those that were joined to them [to observe it], neither would they on any account behave differently: but these days [were to be] a memorial kept in every generation, and city, and family, and province.
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 these days of the Phrurae, [said they, ]shall be kept for ever, and their memorial shall not fail in any generation.
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 And queen Esther, the daughter of Aminadab, and Mardochaeus the Jew, wrote all that they had done, and the confirmation of the letter of Phrurae.
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.
Nake Moridekai agĩtũmĩra Ayahudi othe arĩa maarĩ mabũrũri-inĩ 127 ma ũthamaki wa Ahasuerusu marũa, marĩ ciugo cia kũmeciiria wega na kũmoomĩrĩria,
31 And Mardochaeus and Esther the queen appointed [a fast] for themselves privately, even at that time also having formed their plan against their own health.
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 And Esther established it by a command for ever, and it was written for a memorial.
Itua rĩu rĩa kũrũmĩrĩrwo rĩa Esiteri nĩrĩekĩrire mawatho macio maakoniĩ Purimu hinya, naguo watho ũcio ũkĩandĩkwo mabuku-inĩ ma kĩririkano.
