Esther 8
1 On that day has King Ahasuerus given to Esther the queen the house of Haman, adversary of the Jews, and Mordecai has come in before the king, for Esther has declared what he [is] to her,
Nʼotu ụbọchị ahụ, Ahasuerọs bụ eze, nyefere Esta nwunye eze akụnụba niile Heman onye iro ndị Juu nwere. E mekwara ka Mọdekai bịa nʼihu eze, nʼihi na Esta agwala eze na ọ bụ nwanne nna ya.
2 and the king turns aside his signet, that he has caused to pass away from Haman, and gives it to Mordecai, and Esther sets Mordecai over the house of Haman.
Mgbe ahụ, eze wepụtara ọlaaka ikike ya, nke a gbapụtara site nʼaka Heman nye ya Mọdekai. Esta mekwara Mọdekai onye nlekọta akụnụba Heman.
3 And Esther adds, and speaks before the king, and falls before his feet, and weeps, and makes supplication to him, to cause the evil of Haman the Agagite to pass away, and his scheme that he had devised against the Jews;
Ọzọkwa, Esta bịara nʼihu eze daa nʼala nʼụkwụ eze rịọ ya arịrịọ nʼanya mmiri ka ọ kwụsị echiche ọjọọ ahụ Heman onye Agag, chere megide ndị Juu.
4 and the king holds out to Esther the golden scepter, and Esther rises, and stands before the king,
Eze setịpụrụ mkpara ọlaedo ya nye Esta. Esta biliri, guzo nʼihu eze,
5 and says, “If to the king [it be] good, and if I have found grace before him, and the thing has been right before the king, and I [am] good in his eyes, let it be written to bring back the letters—a scheme of Haman son of Hammedatha the Agagite—that he wrote to destroy the Jews who [are] in all provinces of the king,
ọ sịrị, “Ọ bụrụ na ọ dị eze mma, ọ bụrụkwa na m hụtara amara nʼihu ya, bụrụkwa ihe ziri ezi nʼanya eze, ọ bụrụkwa na ihe m masịrị ya, ka ede iwu nʼakwụkwọ ịkagbu ozi Heman nwa Hamedata, onye Agag, nke o chepụtara dee ime ka a laa ndị Juu nʼiyi nʼala niile eze na-achị.
6 for how do I endure when I have looked on the evil that finds my people? And how do I endure when I have looked on the destruction of my family?”
Nʼihi na m ga-esi aṅaa nagide ya, ịhụ ka a na-egbu ndị m, na-alakwa ụmụnna m nʼiyi?”
7 And King Ahasuerus says to Esther the queen, and to Mordecai the Jew, “Behold, the house of Haman I have given to Esther, and him they have hanged on the tree, because that he put forth his hand on the Jews,
Mgbe ahụ, eze bụ Ahasuerọs gwara Esta nwunye eze na Mọdekai onye Juu okwu sị ha, “Enyela m Esta akụnụba Heman, ha akwụgbukwaala Heman nʼosisi, nʼihi na ọ chọrọ ịla ndị Juu nʼiyi.
8 and you, write for the Jews, as [it is] good in your eyes, in the name of the king, and seal with the signet of the king—for the writing that is written in the name of the king, and sealed with the signet of the king, there is none to turn back.”
Ugbu a, deenụ akwụkwọ ozi banyere ndị Juu niile, dee ihe ọbụla dị mma nʼanya unu nʼaha eze. Werekwa ọlaaka ikike eze kaa ya akara, nʼihi na ọ dịghị akwụkwọ ọbụla e dere nʼaha eze, kaakwa ya akara mgbaaka eze nke a pụrụ imegharị.”
9 And the scribes of the king are called, at that time, in the third month—it [is] the month of Sivan—in the twenty-third [day] of it, and it is written, according to all that Mordecai has commanded, to the Jews, and to the lieutenants, and the governors, and the heads of the provinces, that [are] from Hodu even to Cush, one hundred twenty-seven provinces—province and province according to its writing, and people and people according to its tongue, and to the Jews according to their writing, and according to their tongue.
Otu mgbe ahụ, akpọrọ ndị ode akwụkwọ eze. Ọ bụ nʼiri abalị na atọ nke ọnwa atọ nʼafọ nke bụ ọnwa Sivan ka ihe ndị a mere. Ha dere iwu niile Mọdekai nyere banyere ndị Juu, ndịisi ọchịchị niile na ndị ọchịchị niile na-elekọta mpaghara alaeze niile site nʼIndia ruo Kush. Ọnụọgụgụ ha niile dị otu narị na iri abụọ na asaa. E depụtasịrị iwu ahụ nʼodide akwụkwọ nke ala ọbụla a na-achị achị si dị, na dịka asụsụ ndị ọbụla si dị, ma nyekwa ndị Juu dịka odide akwụkwọ na asụsụ ha si dị.
10 And he writes in the name of King Ahasuerus, and seals with the signet of the king, and sends letters by the hand of the runners with horses, riders of the dromedary, the mules, the young mares,
Mọdekai dere akwụkwọ ahụ nʼaha eze, bụ Ahasuerọs, werekwa ọlaaka ikike eze kaa ya akara, zipụ akwụkwọ ndị a site nʼaka ndị ọgba ọsọ ndị ịnyịnya na-ebu, bụ ndị na-agba ịnyịnya ụkwụ ọsọ nke e leziri anya nke ọma zụọ maka ije ozi dịrị eze.
11 that the king has given to the Jews who [are] in each and every city, to be assembled, and to stand for their life, to cut off, to slay, and to destroy the whole force of the people and province who are distressing them, infants and women, and their spoil to seize.
Akwụkwọ nke iwu eze a, nyere ndị Juu niile nọ nʼobodo ọbụla ike izukọta nʼotu maka ịzọ ndụ ha, nyekwa ha ikike ibibi, gbuo ma laa nʼiyi ndị agha nke mba ọbụla, maọbụ ala ndị ahụ a na-achị achị bụ ndị nwere ike ịla ha, ndị inyom ha na ụmụntakịrị ha nʼiyi, na ịpụnara ha akụnụba ha.
12 In one day, in all the provinces of King Ahasuerus, on the thirteenth of the twelfth month—it [is] the month of Adar—
Ụbọchị a akara aka maka ndị Juu ime ihe ndị a nʼobodo niile nʼalaeze eze Ahasuerọs bụ nʼabalị iri na atọ nke ọnwa Ada.
13 a copy of the writing to be made law in each and every province is revealed to all the peoples, and for the Jews being ready at this day to be avenged of their enemies.
E kwukwara nʼakwụkwọ iwu ahụ na a ghaghị ịnabata iwu eze ahụ nʼobodo ọbụla dị nʼalaeze ya. E kwukwara na a ga-agụpụtara ya mmadụ niile, kọwazie ya ime ka ndị Juu niile nọdụ na njikere imeri ndị iro ha.
14 The runners, riding on the dromedary, [and] the mules, have gone out, hurried and pressed by the word of the king, and the law has been given in Shushan the palace.
Ndị ahụ na-agba ọsọ, bụ ndị na-ebu akwụkwọ ozi, nọkwasịrị nʼelu ịnyịnya eze mee ngwangwa pụọ, ebe iwu eze kwaliri ha. E nyekwara iwu a na Susa.
15 And Mordecai went out from before the king, in royal clothing of blue and white, and a great crown of gold, and a garment of fine linen and purple, and the city of Shushan has rejoiced and been glad;
Mgbe Mọdekai si nʼihu eze pụọ, o yi uwe ndị eze nke na-acha ọcha, na nke na-achakwa anụnụ anụnụ, kpurukwa okpueze ọlaedo dị ukwuu, na uwe mwụda e ji ezi akwa nke na-acha odo odo dụọ nʼahụ ya. Obodo Susa tiri mkpu ṅụrịakwa ọṅụ.
16 to the Jews has been light, and gladness, and joy, and honor,
Nye ndị Juu nʼonwe ha, ọ bụ oge ịṅụrị ọnụ, obi ụtọ na nsọpụrụ.
17 and in each and every province, and in each and every city, the place where the word of the king, even his law, is coming, gladness and joy [are] to the Jews, a banquet, and a good day; and many of the peoples of the land are becoming Jews, for a fear of the Jews has fallen on them.
Na mpaghara alaeze ahụ niile, na nʼobodo ọbụla nke iwu eze ahụ bịaruru, e nwere ọṅụ na obi ụtọ nʼetiti ndị Juu niile, nweekwa oke oriri na ọṅụṅụ. Ọtụtụ mmadụ nʼime ndị si mba dị iche iche ghọrọ ndị Juu, nʼihi egwu ndị Juu dakwasịrị ha.
