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),
Ní ọjọ́ kẹtàlá oṣù kejìlá, oṣù Addari, tí ó yẹ kí a mú àṣẹ tí ọba pa wá sí ìmúṣẹ. Ní ọjọ́ yìí ni ọ̀tá àwọn Júù rò pé àwọn yóò borí i wọn, ṣùgbọ́n nísinsin yìí a ti yìí padà, àwọn Júù sì na ọwọ́ agbára tó ga lórí àwọn tí ó kórìíra wọn.
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.
Àwọn Júù péjọ ní àwọn ìlú u wọn ní gbogbo agbègbè ọba Ahaswerusi láti kọlu àwọn tó ń wá ìparun wọn. Kò sí ẹnikẹ́ni tí ó lè dojúkọ wọ́n, nítorí gbogbo àwọn ènìyàn ìlú tókù ń bẹ̀rù u wọn.
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.
Gbogbo àwọn ọlọ́lá ìgbèríko, àwọn alákòóso, àwọn baálẹ̀ àti àwọn onídàájọ́ ọba ran àwọn Júù lọ́wọ́, nítorí wọ́n bẹ̀rù u Mordekai.
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.
Mordekai sì jẹ́ ẹni pàtàkì ní ààfin ọba, òkìkí rẹ̀ sì tàn jákèjádò àwọn ìgbèríko, ó sì ní agbára kún agbára.
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.
Àwọn Júù sì gé gbogbo àwọn ọ̀tá a wọn lulẹ̀ pẹ̀lú idà, wọ́n pa wọ́n, wọ́n sì run wọ́n, wọ́n sì ṣe ohun tí ó wù wọ́n sí àwọn tí ó kórìíra wọn.
6 In the citadel of Shushan, the Jews killed and destroyed five hundred men.
Ní ilé ìṣọ́ ti Susa, àwọn Júù pa ẹ̀ẹ́dẹ́gbẹ̀ta ọkùnrin run.
7 They killed Parshandatha, Dalphon, Aspatha,
Wọ́n sì tún pa Parṣandata, Dalfoni, Aspata,
8 Poratha, Adalia, Aridatha,
Porata, Adalia, Aridata,
9 Parmashta, Arisai, Aridai, and Vaizatha,
Parmaṣta, Arisai, Aridai àti Faisata.
10 the ten sons of Haman the son of Hammedatha, the Jew's enemy, but they did not lay their hand on the plunder.
Àwọn ọmọkùnrin mẹ́wẹ̀ẹ̀wá tí wọ́n jẹ́ ọmọ Hamani, ọmọ Hammedata, ọ̀tá àwọn Júù. Ṣùgbọ́n wọn kò fi ọwọ́ wọn lé ìkógun un wọn.
11 On that day, the number of those who were slain in the citadel of Shushan was brought before the king.
Ní ọjọ́ náà gan an ni a mú iye àwọn tí a pa ní ilé ìṣọ́ ti Susa wá fún ọba.
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."
Ọba sì sọ fún Esteri ayaba pé, “Àwọn Júù ti pa ẹ̀ẹ́dẹ́gbẹ̀ta ọkùnrin àti àwọn ọmọkùnrin mẹ́wẹ̀ẹ̀wá tí i ṣe ọmọ Hamani ní ilé ìṣọ́ Susa run. Kí ni wọ́n ṣe ní gbogbo ìgbèríko ọba tókù? Báyìí kí ni ẹ̀bẹ̀ rẹ? A ó fi fún ọ. Kí ni ìbéèrè rẹ? A ó sì tún fi fún ọ.”
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."
Esteri sì dáhùn pé, “Bí ó bá tẹ́ ọba lọ́rùn, fún àwọn Júù tí ó wà ní Susa ní àṣẹ láti ṣe gẹ́gẹ́ bí wọ́n ti ṣe ní òní kí wọn ṣe bákan náà ní ọ̀la, kí a sì so àwọn ọmọkùnrin Hamani mẹ́wẹ̀ẹ̀wá náà rọ̀ sórí igi.”
14 The king commanded this to be done. A decree was given out in Shushan; and they hanged Haman's ten sons.
Nítorí náà ọba pàṣẹ pé kí a ṣe bẹ́ẹ̀. A sì gbé àṣẹ kan jáde ní Susa, wọ́n sì so àwọn ọmọkùnrin mẹ́wẹ̀ẹ̀wá Hamani kọ́.
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.
Àwọn Júù tí ó wà ní Susa sì péjọ ní ọjọ́ kẹrìnlá oṣù Addari, wọ́n sì pa ọ̀ọ́dúnrún ọkùnrin ní Susa, ṣùgbọ́n wọn kò fi ọwọ́ wọn lé ìkógun un wọn.
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.
Lákokò yìí, àwọn tókù nínú àwọn Júù tí wọ́n wà ní agbègbè ọba náà tún kó ara wọn jọ láti dáàbò bo ara wọn kí wọn sì sinmi lọ́wọ́ àwọn ọ̀tá a wọn. Wọ́n sì pa ẹgbàá mẹ́tàdínlógójì ó lé ẹgbẹ̀rin àwọn tí ó kórìíra wọn ṣùgbọ́n wọn kò fi ọwọ́ wọn lé ìkógun un wọn.
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.
Èyí ṣẹlẹ̀ ní ọjọ́ kẹtàlá oṣù Addari, wọ́n sì sinmi ní ọjọ́ kẹrìnlá, wọ́n sì ṣe ọjọ́ náà ní ọjọ́ àsè àti ayọ̀.
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.
Àwọn Júù tí ó wà ní Susa, kó ara wọn jọ ní ọjọ́ kẹtàlá àti ọjọ́ kẹrìnlá, nígbà tí ó sì di ọjọ́ kẹ́ẹ̀dógún wọ́n sinmi wọ́n sì ṣe ọjọ́ náà ní ọjọ́ àsè àti ayọ̀.
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.
Nítorí náà ni àwọn Júù tí wọ́n ń gbé ní ìletò ṣe pa ọjọ́ kẹrìnlá oṣù Addari mọ́ gẹ́gẹ́ bí ọjọ́ ayọ̀ àti ọjọ́ àsè, ọjọ́ tí wọ́n ń fún ara wọn ní ẹ̀bùn.
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,
Mordekai ṣe àkọsílẹ̀ àwọn ìṣẹ̀lẹ̀ wọ̀nyí, ó sì kọ ìwé ránṣẹ́ sí gbogbo àwọn Júù jákèjádò àgbáyé ọba Ahaswerusi, tí ó wà ní tòsí àti àwọn tí ó wà ní jìnnà réré,
21 to enjoin them that they should keep the fourteenth and fifteenth days of the month Adar yearly,
láti lè máa ṣe àjọyọ̀ ní ọjọ́ kẹrìnlá àti ọjọ́ kẹ́ẹ̀dógún oṣù Addari ní ọdọọdún.
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.
gẹ́gẹ́ bí àkókò tí àwọn Júù gba ìsinmi kúrò lọ́wọ́ àwọn ọ̀tá a wọn, àti bí oṣù tí ìbànújẹ́ ẹ wọn yí padà di ayọ̀ àti tí ọjọ́ ọ̀fọ̀ wọn di ọjọ́ àjọyọ̀. Ó kọ ọ́ sí wọn láti máa pa ọjọ́ náà mọ́ gẹ́gẹ́ bí ọjọ́ àsè àti ọjọ́ ayọ̀ kí wọn sì máa fi oúnjẹ fún ara wọn, kí wọn sì máa fi ẹ̀bùn fún àwọn aláìní.
23 The Jews accepted the custom that they had begun, as Mordecai had written to them;
Bẹ́ẹ̀ ni àwọn Júù gbà láti máa ṣe àjọyọ̀ tí wọ́n ti bẹ̀rẹ̀, wọ́n ń ṣe bí Mordekai ti kọ̀wé sí wọn.
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;
Nítorí Hamani ọmọ Hammedata, ará Agagi, ọ̀tá gbogbo àwọn Júù, ti gbèrò sí àwọn Júù láti pa wọ́n run, ó sì ti di puri (èyí tí í ṣe ìbò) fún ìsọdahoro àti ìparun wọn.
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.
Ṣùgbọ́n nígbà tí Esteri sọ nípa ìṣọ̀tẹ̀ náà fún ọba, ó kọ̀wé àṣẹ kan jáde pé kí ète búburú tí Hamani ti pa sí àwọn Júù kí ó padà sí orí òun fúnra rẹ̀, àti pé kí a gbé òun àti àwọn ọmọkùnrin rẹ̀ kọ́ sórí igi.
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,
(Nítorí náà a pe àwọn ọjọ́ wọ̀nyí ní Purimu, láti ara ọ̀rọ̀ puri). Nítorí ohun gbogbo tí a kọ sínú ìwé yìí àti nítorí ohun tí wọ́n ti rí àti ohun tí ó ti ṣẹlẹ̀ sí wọn,
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;
àwọn Júù fi lélẹ̀, wọ́n sì gbà á gẹ́gẹ́ bí ìlànà fún ara wọn àti fún irú àwọn ọmọ wọn àti gbogbo àwọn tí ó darapọ̀ mọ́ wọn, kò sì ní kúrò, wọn yóò sì máa pa àwọn ọjọ́ méjèèjì yìí mọ́ ní gbogbo ọdún, gẹ́gẹ́ bí a ti kọ ọ́ àti àkókò tí a yàn.
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.
A gbọdọ̀ máa ṣe ìrántí àwọn ọjọ́ wọ̀nyí kí a sì máa pa wọ́n mọ́ ní ìrandíran ní gbogbo ìdílé, àti ní gbogbo ìgbèríko àti ní gbogbo ìlú. A gbọdọ̀ máa ṣe àwọn ọjọ́ Purimu wọ̀nyí ní àárín àwọn Júù, bẹ́ẹ̀ ni kò gbọdọ̀ di ohun ìgbàgbé láàrín irú àwọn ọmọ wọn.
29 Then Esther the queen, the daughter of Abihail, and Mordecai the Jew, wrote with all authority to confirm this second letter of Purim.
Bẹ́ẹ̀ ni Esteri ayaba, ọmọbìnrin Abihaili, pẹ̀lú Mordekai ará a Júù, kọ̀wé pẹ̀lú àṣẹ láti fi ìdí ìwé kejì nípa Purimu yìí múlẹ̀.
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,
Mordekai sì kọ ìwé ránṣẹ́ sí gbogbo àwọn Júù, sí ìgbèríko mẹ́tàdínláàádóje ní ilẹ̀ ọba Ahaswerusi ní ọ̀rọ̀ àlàáfíà àti òtítọ́.
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.
Láti fi ìdí àwọn ọjọ́ ọ Purimu yìí múlẹ̀ ní àkókò tí wọ́n yàn, gẹ́gẹ́ bí Mordekai ará Juda, àti Esteri ayaba ti pa á láṣẹ fún wọn, àti bí wọ́n ṣe fi lélẹ̀ fún ara wọn àti irú àwọn ọmọ wọn ní ìbámu pẹ̀lú àkókò àwẹ̀ àti ẹkún wọn.
32 The commandment of Esther confirmed these matters of Purim; and it was written in the book.
Àṣẹ Esteri sì fi ìdí ìlànà Purimu wọ̀nyí múlẹ̀, a sì kọ ọ́ sínú ìwé àkọsílẹ̀.
