Esther 8
1 The same day did King Ahashuerosh giue the house of Haman the aduersarie of the Iewes vnto the Queene Ester. and Mordecai came before the King: for Ester tolde what hee was vnto her.
Gbe ma gbe ke la, Fia Ahasuerus tsɔ Haman, Yudatɔwo ƒe futɔ la ƒe nunɔamesiwo katã na Fianyɔnu Ester. Woyɔ Mordekai va fia la ŋkume, elabena Ester gblɔ ale si eya kple Mordekai wodo ƒomee la nɛ.
2 And the King tooke off his ring, which he had taken from Haman, and gaue it vnto Mordecai: and Ester set Mordecai ouer the house of Haman.
Fia la ɖe eƒe ŋkɔsigɛ si wògbugbɔ xɔ le Haman si la, eye wòtsɔe na Mordekai. Fianyɔnu Ester tsɔe ɖo Haman ƒe kesinɔnuwo katã nu.
3 And Ester spake yet more before the King, and fell downe at his feete weeping, and besought him that he would put away the wickednes of Haman the Agagite, and his deuice that he had imagined against the Iewes.
Ester gava fia la ŋkume, dze klo ɖe eƒe afɔ nu, eye wòɖe kuku nɛ kple avi be wòatsi nugbe si Haman, Agagitɔ la ɖo ɖe Yudatɔwo ŋu la nu.
4 And the King held out the golden scepter toward Ester. Then arose Ester, and stood before the King,
Fia la galé sikafiatikplɔ la do ɖe Ester gbɔ, ale Ester tsi tsitre ɖe fia la ŋkume.
5 And sayd, If it please the King, and if I haue found fauour in his sight, and the thing be acceptable before the King, and I please him, let it be written, that the letters of the deuice of Haman the sonne of Ammedatha the Agagite may be called againe, which he wrote to destroy the Iewes, that are in all the Kings prouinces.
Egblɔ be, “Ne edze fia la ŋu, eye wòve nunye hebui be enye nu nyui yeawɔ, eye ne nye nu nyo fia la ŋu la, na be woaŋlɔ agbalẽ bubu atsɔ ate fli ɖe ɖoɖo si Hamedata ƒe vi, Haman, Agagitɔ la wɔ heŋlɔ agbalẽ ɖo ɖe amewo le fiaɖuƒe la katã me be woatsrɔ̃ Yudatɔwo la me,
6 For how can I suffer and see the euil, that shall come vnto my people? Or howe can I suffer and see the destruction of my kinred?
elabena nyemate ŋu atsɔ gbegblẽ si ava nye amewo dzi alo atsɔ nye ƒometɔwo ƒe tsɔtsrɔ̃ o.”
7 And the King Ahashuerosh sayde vnto the Queene Ester, and to Mordecai the Iewe, Behold, I haue giuen Ester the house of Haman, whome they haue hanged vpon the tree, because he layd hand vpon the Iewes.
Fia Ahasuerus ɖo eŋu na Fiasrɔ̃ Ester kple Mordekai, Yudatɔ la be, “Esi Haman tso ɖe Yudatɔwo ŋuti ta la, mexɔ eƒe nunɔamesiwo katã tsɔ na Ester, eye mena wode ka ve na eya ŋutɔ.
8 Write yee also for the Iewes, as it liketh you in the Kinges name, and seale it with the Kings ring (for the writings written in the Kings name, and sealed with the Kings ring, may no man reuoke)
Azɔ la, ŋlɔ agbalẽ ɖe fia la ƒe ŋkɔ me ɖe Yudatɔwo katã nu; ŋlɔ nya sia nya si nàdi be yeagblɔ la le fia la ƒe ŋkɔ me, eye nàtre agbalẽ la nu kple nye ŋkɔsigɛ ale be womagate ŋu atrɔe o, elabena nu sia nu si woŋlɔ ɖe fia la ƒe ŋkɔ me, eye wotre enu kple eƒe ŋkɔsigɛ la, womate ŋu atrɔe gbeɖe o.”
9 Then were the Kings Scribes called at the same time, euen in the thirde moneth, that is the moneth Siuan, on the three and twentieth day thereof: and it was written, according to all as Mordecai commanded, vnto the Iewes and to the princes, and captaines, and rulers of the prouinces, which were from India euen vnto Ethiopia, an hundreth and seuen and twentie prouinces, vnto euery prouince, according to the writing thereof, and to euery people after their speache, and to the Iewes, according to their writing, and according to their language.
Enumake woyɔ agbalẽŋlɔla siwo le fia la ƒe dɔ me la vɛ le ɣleti etɔ̃lia si woyɔna be, Sivan la ƒe ŋkeke blaeve-vɔ-etɔ̃a gbe.

Woŋlɔ gbedeasi siawo ɖe nuto ɖe sia ɖe ƒe gbegbɔgblɔ me, eye woŋlɔe na Yudatɔwo hã ɖe woƒe degbe me.
10 And hee wrote in the King Ahashuerosh name, and sealed it with the Kings ring: and he sent letters by postes on horsebacke and that rode on beastes of price, as dromedaries and coltes of mares.
Mordekai ŋlɔ agbalẽ la ɖe Fia Ahasuerus ƒe ŋkɔ me, eye wòtsɔ eƒe ŋkɔsigɛ ɖo ete hetsɔe de asi na fia la ƒe dɔla siwo doa sɔ siwo ɖea abla, vevietɔ sɔ siwo womla koŋ hena fia la ƒe ŋu dɔ wɔwɔ.
11 Wherein the King graunted the Iewes (in what cities so euer they were) to gather theselues together, and to stand for their life, and to roote out, to slay and to destroy al the power of the people and of the prouince that vexed them, both children and women, and to spoyle their goods:
Fia la ƒe sedede ɖe mɔ na Yudatɔwo le du ɖe sia ɖe me be wokpɔ mɔ aƒo ƒu, eye woaʋli wo ɖokuiwo ta. Wokpɔ mɔ hã be woagblẽ nu, awu alo atsrɔ̃ asrafoha ɖe sia ɖe tso dukɔ alo to ɖe sia ɖe me, esiwo ke aho aʋa ɖe woawo ŋutɔ kple wo srɔ̃wo kple wo viwo ŋu, eye woaha woƒe futɔwo ƒe nunɔamesiwo.
12 Vpon one day in all the prouinces of King Ahashuerosh, euen in the thirteenth day of the twelft moneth, which is the moneth Adar.
Ŋkeke si woɖo hena Yudatɔwo ƒe nu sia wɔwɔ le Fia Ahasuerus ƒe fiaɖuƒe blibo la mee nye ɣleti wuievelia, Ada, ƒe ŋkeke wuietɔ̃a gbe.
13 The copie of the writing was, howe there should be a commandement giuen in all and euery prouince, published among all the people, and that the Iewes should be ready against that day to auenge themselues on their enemies.
Wona be woawɔ fia la ƒe gbedeasi wòazu se le nuto ɖe sia ɖe me, eye woakakae na gbegbɔgblɔ ɖe sia ɖe ale be Yudatɔwo anɔ klalo le ŋkeke ma dzi ne woabia hlɔ̃ woƒe futɔwo.
14 So the postes rode vpon beasts of price, and dromedaries, and went forth with speede, to execute the Kings commandement, and the decree was giuen at Shushan the palace.
Ale fia la ƒe dɔtsɔlawo do fia la ƒe sɔ ɖeablawo kple du le fia la ƒe gbeɖeɖe nu. Woɖe gbeƒã sea le Susa mɔ gã la hã me.
15 And Mordecai went out from the King in royall apparell of blewe, and white, and with a great crowne of gold, and with a garment of fine linen and purple, and the citie of Shushan reioyced and was glad.
Mordekai do fiawu ɣitɔ kple blɔtɔ kple awu ʋlaya si wowɔ kple aklala kple aɖabɛ dzĩtɔ, eye wòɖɔ sikafiakuku gã la. Edzo le fia la gbɔ, eye wòyi ablɔwo dzi. Amewo nɔ ablɔawo dzi fũu, eye wonɔ dzidzɔɣli dom.
16 And vnto the Iewes was come light and ioy and gladnes, and honour.
Le Yudatɔwo gome ya la, enye dzidzɔ, aseyetsotso, aglotutu kple bubu ƒe ɣeyiɣi na wo.
17 Also in all and euery prouince, and in al and euery citie and place, where the Kings commandement and his decree came, there was ioy and gladnes to the Iewes, a feast and good day, and many of the people of the land became Iewes: for the feare of the Iewes fell vpon them.
Esi fia la ƒe sedede la va ɖo du sia du kple nuto ɖe sia ɖe me la, Yudatɔwo katã kpɔ dzidzɔ, woɖu ŋkekenyui, eye womewɔ dɔ aɖeke gbe ma gbe o. Ame geɖewo wɔ wo ɖokuiwo Yudatɔwoe, elabena Yudatɔwo ƒe ŋɔdzi lé wo.
