< Esther 9 >

1 So in the twelft moneth, which is the moneth Adar, vpon the thirteenth daye of the same, when the Kings commandement and his decree drew neere to be put in execution, in the day that the enemies of the Iewes hoped to haue power ouer them (but it turned contrary: for the Iewes had rule ouer them that hated them)
Ku lunaku olw’ekkumi n’ebiri gwe mwezi Adali, ekiragiro kya Kabaka lwe kyali kigenda okutuukirizibwa. Ku lunaku olwo abalabe b’Abayudaaya kwe baasuubirira okubafuga, naye ate Abayudaaya ne bafuga abo abaabakyawa.
2 The Iewes gathered themselues together into their cities throughout all the prouinces of the King Ahashuerosh, to lay hande on such as sought their hurt, and no man coulde withstande them: for the feare of them fel vpon al people.
Abayudaaya ne bakuŋŋaana mu bibuga byabwe okubuna ebitundu byonna ebya Kabaka Akaswero, okukwata abo abaali baagala okubaleetako obulabe, so tewaali muntu eyayaŋŋanga okubayinza, kubanga entiisa yali egudde ku bantu bonna abamawanga gonna.
3 And all the rulers of the prouinces, and the princes and the captaines, and the officers of the King exalted the Iewes: for the feare of Mordecai fell vpon them.
Awo abakungu bonna ab’ebitundu, n’abaamasaza, ne bagavana n’abasigire ba kabaka abaafuganga ne bayamba Abayudaaya, kubanga entiisa yali ebakutte olwa Moluddekaayi.
4 For Mordecai was great in the kings house, and the report of him went through all the prouinces: for this man Mordecai waxed greater and greater.
Moluddekaayi yali akulaakulanye mu lubiri, era n’ettutumu lye ne lyatiikirira okubuna ebitundu byonna, ate era ne yeeyongera amaanyi n’obuyinza.
5 Thus the Iewes smote all their enemies with strokes of the sworde and slaughter, and destruction, and did what they woulde vnto those that hated them.
Awo Abayudaaya ne batta era ne bazikiriza abalabe baabwe bonna n’ekitala, era ne bakola nga bwe baayagala abo abaabakyawa.
6 And at Shushan the palace slewe the Iewes and destroyed fiue hundreth men,
Mu lubiri olw’e Susani, Abayudaaya batta ne bazikiriza abasajja ebikumi bitaano.
7 And Parshandatha, and Dalphon, and Aspatha,
Ate era batta Palusandasa, ne Dalufoni, ne Asupasa,
8 And Poratha, and Adalia, and Aridatha,
Polasa, ne Adaliya, ne Alidasa,
9 And Parmashta, and Arisai, and Aridai, and Vaiezatha,
Palumasuta, ne Alisayi, ne Alidayi, ne Vaizasa
10 The ten sonnes of Haman, ye sonne of Ammedatha, the aduersarie of the Iewes slewe they: but they layd not their hands on the spoyle.
abatabani ekkumi aba Kamani mutabani wa Kammedasa omulabe w’Abayudaaya. Naye tebaakwata ku munyago.
11 On the same day came ye nomber of those that were slayne, vnto the palace of Shushan before the King.
Ku lunaku olwo, Kabaka n’ategeezebwa omuwendo gw’abo abattibwa mu lubiri e Susani.
12 And the King sayd vnto the Queene Ester, The Iewes haue slayne in Shushan the palace and destroyed fiue hundreth men, and the ten sonnes of Haman: what haue they done in the rest of the Kings prouinces? and what is thy petition, that it may be giuen thee? or what is thy request moreouer, that it may be performed?
Awo Kabaka n’agamba Nnabagereka Eseza nti, “Abayudaaya basse era bazikirizza abasajja ebikumi bitaano, ate era ne batabani ba Kamani ekkumi nabo battiddwa. Kale kyenkana wa kye bakoze mu bitundu bya Kabaka ebirala? Kiki ky’osaba kaakano? Onookiweebwa. Era kiki kye weegayirira? Kale n’akyo kinaakolebwa.”
13 Then sayd Ester, If it please the King, let it be granted also to morow to the Iewes that are in Shushan, to do according vnto this daies decree, that they may hang vpon ye tree Hamans ten sonnes.
Eseza n’addamu nti, “Kabaka bw’anaasiima, enkya Abayudaaya baweebwe olukusa okukola nga ekiragiro ekya leero bwe kibadde era emirambo gya batabani ba Kamani ekkumi giwanikibwe ku miti.”
14 And the King charged to doe so, and the decree was giuen at Shushan, and they hanged Hamans ten sonnes.
Amangwago Kabaka n’alagira kikolebwe. Ekiragiro ne kirangirirwa mu Susani, era emirambo gya batabani ba Kamani ekkumi ne giwanikibwa.
15 So the Iewes that were in Shushan, assembled themselues vpon the fourteenth day of the moneth Adar, and slew three hundreth men in Shushan, but on the spoyle they layd not their hand.
Awo ku lunaku olw’ekkumi n’enya mu mwezi ogwa Adali, Abayudaaya mu Susani ne beekuŋŋaanya, era ne batta abasajja ebikumi bisatu mu Susani, naye ne batakwata ku munyago.
16 And the rest of the Iewes that were in the Kings prouinces assembled themselues, and stood for their liues, and had rest from their enemies, and slewe of them that hated them, seuentie and fiue thousand: but they layd not their hand on the spoyle.
Mu kiseera kyekimu Abayudaaya abalala abaali mu bitundu bya Kabaka nabo ne bakuŋŋaana okwerwanirira, n’okufuna ne bafuna okuwummula eri abalabe baabwe. Ne batta emitwalo nsanvu mu etaano ku bo naye ne batakwata ku munyago.
17 This they did on the thirteenth day of the moneth Adar, and rested the fourteenth day thereof, and kept it a day of feasting and ioy.
Bino byabaawo ku lunaku olw’ekkumi n’essatu mu mwezi ogwa Adali, ku lunaku olw’ekkumi n’ennya ne bawummula era ne balufuula lunaku lwa kuliirangako mbaga n’olw’okusanyukirangako.
18 But the Iewes that were in Shushan assembled themselues on the thirteenth day, and on the fourteenth therof, and they rested on the fifteenth of the same, and kept it a day of feasting and ioy.
Abayudaaya ab’omu Susani ne bakuŋŋaananga ku lunaku olw’ekkumi n’essatu ne ku lunaku olw’ekkumi n’ennya, ate ku lunaku olw’ekkumi n’ettaano ne bawummula, era ne balufuula olunaku olw’okuliirangako embaga n’okusanyukirangako.
19 Therefore the Iewes of the villages that dwelt in the vnwalled townes, kept the foureteenth day of the moneth Adar with ioy and feasting, euen a ioyfull day, and euery one sent presents vnto his neighbour.
Abayudaaya ab’omu byalo abaabeeranga mu bibuga ebitaaliiko bbugwe kyebaava bafuula olunaku olw’ekkumi n’ennya olw’omwezi Adali okuba olunaku okuliirangako embaga n’olw’okusanyukirangako, era olunaku olw’okuweerazaganirako ebirabo.
20 And Mordecai wrote these words, and sent letters vnto all the Iewes that were through all the prouinces of the King Ahashuerosh, both neere and farre,
Awo Moluddekaayi n’awandiika ebyabaawo byonna, era n’aweereza Abayudaaya bonna abaali mu bitundu byonna ebya Kabaka Akaswero ebbaluwa, mu matwale ag’okumpi n’agewala,
21 Inioyning them that they shoulde keepe the fourteenth day of the moneth Adar, and the fifteenth day of the same, euery yeere.
ng’abalagira okukuumanga olunaku olw’ekkumi n’ennya n’olw’ekkumi n’ettaano mu mwezi ogwa Adali nga lwa mbaga,
22 According to the dayes wherein the Iewes rested from their enemies, and the moneth which was turned vnto them from sorowe to ioy, and from mourning into a ioyfull day, to keepe them the dayes of feasting, and ioy, and to sende presents euery man to his neyghbour, and giftes to the poore.
era nga kye kiseera Abayudaaya kye baafunirako eddembe eri abalabe baabwe, ate era nga gwe mwezi obuyinike bwabwe lwe bwafuulibwa essanyu, n’okunakuwala kwabwe ne kukoma. Moluddekaayi n’abiwandiika okujjukira ennaku ezo ng’ennaku ez’okuliirangako embaga n’okusanyukirangako, ate era n’okuweerezaganya ebyokulya ebirungi, era n’okugabiranga abaavu ebirabo.
23 And the Iewes promised to do as they had begun, and as Mordecai had written vnto them,
Awo Abayudaaya ne basuubiza okukola nga bwe baatandika, nga Moluddekaayi bwe yabawandiikira.
24 Because Haman the sonne of Hammedatha the Agagite al the Iewes aduersarie, had imagined against the Iewes, to destroy them, and had cast Pur (that is a lot) to consume and destroy them.
Kamani mutabani wa Kammedasa Omwagaagi omulabe w’Abayudaaya bonna, yali asalidde Abayudaaya olukwe okubazikiriza, era ng’akubye akalulu Puli, okubasaanyaawo n’okubazikiriza.
25 And when she came before the King, he commanded by letters, Let this wicked deuise (which he imagined against the Iewes) turne vpon his owne head, and let them hang him and his sonnes on the tree.
Naye Eseza bwe yakimanyisa Kabaka, Kabaka n’awa ekiragiro mu buwandiike nti olukwe olubi Kamani lwe yali asalidde Abayudaaya ludde ku mutwe gwe, era ye ne batabani be ne bawanikibwa ku kalabba.
26 Therfore they called these dayes Purim, by the name of Pur, and because of all the wordes of this letter, and of that which they had seene besides this, and of that which had come vnto them.
Ennaku ezo kyebaava baziyita Pulimu ng’erinnya lya Puli bwe liri. Awo olw’ebigambo byonna ebyawandiikibwa mu bbaluwa, n’olw’ebyo bye baalaba, n’ebyabatuukako,
27 The Iewes also ordeined, and promised for them and for their seede, and for all that ioyned vnto them, that they would not faile to obserue those two dayes euery yeere, according to their writing, and according to their season,
Abayudaaya kyebaava balagira ne basuubiza, era ne basuubiriza ezzadde lyabwe n’abo bonna abanaabeegattangako, nti awatali kwekwasa nsonga yonna, bateekwa okukwatanga ennaku ezo zombi buli mwaka ng’ekiwandiiko kyazo bwe kyali era ng’ebiro byazo bwe byali.
28 And that these dayes shoulde be remembred, and kept throughout euery generation and euery familie, and euery prouince, and euery citie: euen these daies of Purim should not faile among the Iewes, and the memoriall of them should not perish from their seede.
Ennaku ezo zijjukirwenga ku mirembe gyonna, na buli kika, na buli ssaza era na buli kibuga, era ennaku zino eza Pulimu, Abayudaaya tebalekangayo okuzijagulizaangako, wadde okuzeerabira.
29 And the Queene Ester ye daughter of Abihail and Mordecai the Iew wrote with al authoritie (to cofirme this letter of Purim ye second time)
Awo Nnabagereka Eseza muwala wa Abikayiri ne Moluddekaayi Omuyudaaya ne bawandiika n’obuyinza bwonna okunyweza ebbaluwa eyo eyookubiri eya Pulimu.
30 And he sent letters vnto al the Iewes to the hundreth and seuen and twentie prouinces of the kingdome of Ahashuerosh, with words of peace and trueth,
Ebbaluwa ne ziweerezebwa, mu bitundu ekikumi mu abiri mu omusanvu eby’obwakabaka bwa Akaswero,
31 To confirme these dayes of Purim, according to their seasons, as Mordecai the Iewe and Ester the Queene had appointed them, and as they had promised for them selues and for their seede with fasting and prayer.
n’okuwa ebiragiro nti ennaku ezo eza Pulimu zikuumibwenga mu biro byazo nga Omuyudaaya Moluddekaayi ne Nnabagereka Eseza bwe baabalagira, era nga bwe beeyama bo bennyini n’ezzadde lyabwe okusinziira ku biseera byabwe bye baayitamu eby’okusiiba n’okukungubaga.
32 And the decree of Ester confirmed these words of Purim, and was written in the booke.
Awo ekiragiro kya Eseza ne kinyweza ebigambo ebyo ebya Pulimu, era ne kiwandiikibwa mu byafaayo.
