Esther 9
1 Now in the twelfth month, which is the month Adar, on the thirteenth day of the month, when the king's commandment and his decree drew near to be put in execution, on the day that the enemies of the Jews hoped to conquer them, (but it was turned out the opposite happened, that the Jews conquered those who 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 Jews gathered themselves together in their cities throughout all the provinces of the King Achashyerosh, to lay hands on those who wanted to harm them. No one could withstand them, because the fear of them had fallen on all the 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 officials of the provinces, the satraps, the governors, and those who did the king's business helped the Jews, because the fear of Mordecai had fallen on 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 king's house, and his fame went out throughout all the provinces; for the man Mordecai grew 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 The Jews struck all their enemies with the stroke of the sword, and with slaughter and destruction, and did what they wanted to those who hated them.
Awo Abayudaaya ne batta era ne bazikiriza abalabe baabwe bonna n’ekitala, era ne bakola nga bwe baayagala abo abaabakyawa.
6 In the citadel of Shushan, the Jews killed and destroyed five hundred men.
Mu lubiri olw’e Susani, Abayudaaya batta ne bazikiriza abasajja ebikumi bitaano.
7 They killed Parshandatha, Dalphon, Aspatha,
Ate era batta Palusandasa, ne Dalufoni, ne Asupasa,
8 Poratha, Adalia, Aridatha,
Polasa, ne Adaliya, ne Alidasa,
9 Parmashta, Arisai, Aridai, and Vaizatha,
Palumasuta, ne Alisayi, ne Alidayi, ne Vaizasa
10 the ten sons of Haman the son of Hammedatha, the Jew's enemy, but they did not lay their hand on the plunder.
abatabani ekkumi aba Kamani mutabani wa Kammedasa omulabe w’Abayudaaya. Naye tebaakwata ku munyago.
11 On that day, the number of those who were slain in the citadel of Shushan was brought before the king.
Ku lunaku olwo, Kabaka n’ategeezebwa omuwendo gw’abo abattibwa mu lubiri e Susani.
12 The king said to Esther the queen, "The Jews have slain and destroyed five hundred men in the citadel of Shushan, including the ten sons of Haman; what then have they done in the rest of the king's provinces. Now what is your petition? It shall be granted you. What is your further request? It shall be done."
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 Esther said, "If it pleases the king, let it be granted to the Jews who are in Shushan to do tomorrow also according to this day's decree, and let Haman's ten sons be hanged on the gallows."
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 The king commanded this to be done. A decree was given out in Shushan; and they hanged Haman's ten sons.
Amangwago Kabaka n’alagira kikolebwe. Ekiragiro ne kirangirirwa mu Susani, era emirambo gya batabani ba Kamani ekkumi ne giwanikibwa.
15 The Jews who were in Shushan gathered themselves together on the fourteenth day also of the month Adar, and killed three hundred men in Shushan; but they did not lay their hand on the spoil.
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 The other Jews who were in the king's provinces gathered themselves together, defended their lives, had rest from their enemies, and killed seventy-five thousand of those who hated them; but they did not lay their hand on the plunder.
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 was done on the thirteenth day of the month Adar; and on the fourteenth day of that month they rested and made it a day of feasting and gladness.
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 Jews who were in Shushan assembled together on the thirteenth and on the fourteenth days of the month; and on the fifteenth day of that month, they rested, and made it a day of feasting and gladness.
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 Jews of the villages, who live in the unwalled towns, make the fourteenth day of the month Adar a day of gladness and feasting, a good day, and a day of sending presents of food to one another.
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 Mordecai wrote these things, and sent letters to all the Jews who were in all the provinces of the king Achashyerosh, both near and far,
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 to enjoin them that they should keep the fourteenth and fifteenth days of the month Adar yearly,
ng’abalagira okukuumanga olunaku olw’ekkumi n’ennya n’olw’ekkumi n’ettaano mu mwezi ogwa Adali nga lwa mbaga,
22 as the days in which the Jews had rest from their enemies, and the month which was turned to them from sorrow to gladness, and from mourning into a good day; that they should make them days of feasting and gladness, and of sending presents of food to one another, and gifts to the needy.
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 The Jews accepted the custom that they had begun, as Mordecai had written to them;
Awo Abayudaaya ne basuubiza okukola nga bwe baatandika, nga Moluddekaayi bwe yabawandiikira.
24 because Haman the son of Hammedatha, the Agagite, the enemy of all the Jews, had plotted against the Jews to destroy them, and had cast "Pur," that is the lot, to consume them, and to 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 but when this became known to the king, he commanded by letters that his wicked device, which he had devised against the Jews, should return on his own head, and that he and his sons should be hanged on the gallows.
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 Therefore they called these days "Purim," from the word "Pur." Therefore because of all the words of this letter, and of that which they had seen concerning this matter, and that which had come to 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 Jews established, and imposed on themselves, and on their descendants, and on all those who joined themselves to them, so that it should not fail, that they would keep these two days according to what was written, and according to its appointed time, every year;
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 days should be remembered and kept throughout every generation, every family, every province, and every city; and that these days of Purim should not fail from among the Jews, nor the memory of them perish among their descendants.
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 Then Esther the queen, the daughter of Abihail, and Mordecai the Jew, wrote with all authority to confirm this second letter of Purim.
Awo Nnabagereka Eseza muwala wa Abikayiri ne Moluddekaayi Omuyudaaya ne bawandiika n’obuyinza bwonna okunyweza ebbaluwa eyo eyookubiri eya Pulimu.
30 He sent letters to all the Jews, to the hundred twenty-seven provinces of the kingdom of Achashyerosh, with words of peace and truth,
Ebbaluwa ne ziweerezebwa, mu bitundu ekikumi mu abiri mu omusanvu eby’obwakabaka bwa Akaswero,
31 to confirm these days of Purim in their appointed times, as Mordecai the Jew and Esther the queen had decreed, and as they had imposed upon themselves and their descendants, in the matter of the fastings and their cry.
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 The commandment of Esther confirmed these matters of Purim; and it was written in the book.
Awo ekiragiro kya Eseza ne kinyweza ebigambo ebyo ebya Pulimu, era ne kiwandiikibwa mu byafaayo.
