Esther 9
1 And, in the twelfth month, the same, is the month Adar, on the thirteenth day thereof, when the word of the king and his edict arrived to be put in execution, —on the day when the enemies of the Jews hoped to have power over them, though it, was changed, so that the Jews themselves should have power over them who hated them,
Kũrĩ mũthenya wa ikũmi na ĩtatũ mweri wa ikũmi na ĩĩrĩ, nĩguo mweri wa Adari, nĩrĩo itua rĩrĩa rĩathanĩtwo nĩ mũthamaki, rĩarĩ rĩhingio. Mũthenya ũcio, thũ cia Ayahudi nĩcierĩgĩrĩire kũmahoota, no rĩrĩ, gũkĩgarũrũkana, nao Ayahudi makĩgĩa na hinya gũkĩra arĩa maamathũire.
2 the Jews assembled themselves together in their cities, throughout all the provinces of King Ahasuerus, to thrust forth a hand against them who were seeking their hurt, and, no man, stood before them, for the dread of them had fallen upon all the peoples.
Ayahudi nĩmecookanĩrĩirie matũũra-inĩ mao manene mabũrũri-inĩ mothe ma Mũthamaki Ahasuerusu, nĩgeetha matharĩkĩre acio mendaga kũmaniina. Gũtirĩ mũndũ ũngĩahotire kũmeetiiria, nĩ ũndũ ndũrĩrĩ icio ingĩ ciothe nĩciametigĩrire.
3 And, all the rulers of the provinces, and the satraps and the pashas, and the doers of business that pertained to the king, were extolling the Jews, —for the dread of Mordecai, had fallen upon them;
Nao andũ othe arĩa maarĩ igweta a mabũrũri macio, na anene a mũthamaki, na abarũthi, na arĩa mateithagĩrĩria mũthamaki gwathana magĩteithia Ayahudi, nĩ ũndũ nĩmanyiitĩtwo nĩ guoya wa gwĩtigĩra Moridekai.
4 since great was Mordecai, in the house of the king, and, his fame, was going forth throughout all the provinces, —for, the man Mordecai, went on waxing great.
Moridekai aarĩ mũndũ woĩkaine wega kũu nyũmba-inĩ ya ũthamaki; nayo ngumo yake ĩkĩhunja mabũrũri-inĩ macio mothe, nake agĩkĩrĩrĩria kũgĩa na hinya.
5 So then the Jews smote all their enemies, with the smiting of the sword and slaughter, and destruction, —and they dealt with them who hated them according to their pleasure.
Ayahudi makĩhũũra thũ ciao ciothe na hiũ cia njora, magĩciũraga magĩciniina, na magĩĩka thũ ciao, o icio ciamathũire, o ũrĩa wothe mangĩendire gũciĩka.
6 Yea, in Shusan the palace, did the Jews slay and destroy five hundred men.
Nyũmba-inĩ ya mũthamaki kũu Shushani, Ayahudi nĩmooragire na makĩniina andũ magana matano.
7 And Parshandatha and Dalphon, and Aspatha;
Ningĩ nĩmooragire Parishandatha, na Dalifoni, na Asipatha,
8 and Poratha, and Adalia, and Aridatha;
na Poratha, na Adalia, na Aridatha,
9 and Parmashta, and Arisai, and Aridai, and Vaizatha; —
na Parimashata, na Arisai, na Aridai, na Vaizatha,
10 the ten sons of Haman son of Hammedatha, the adversary of the Jews, slew they, —but, on the spoil, thrust they not forth their hand.
na nĩo ariũ ikũmi a Hamani mũrũ wa Hamedatha, ũrĩa warĩ thũ ya Ayahudi. No matiigana gũtaha indo ciao.
11 On that day, came in the number of the slain into Shusan the palace, before the king.
Mũigana wa andũ arĩa mooragĩirwo nyũmba-inĩ ya mũthamaki kũu Shushani nĩwakinyĩirio mũthamaki mũthenya o ro ũcio.
12 Then said the king unto Esther the queen, In Shusan the palace, have the Jews slain and caused to perish five hundred men, and the ten sons of Haman, —in the rest of the provinces of the king, what have they done? What, then, is thy petition, that it may be granted thee? and what is thy request further, that it may he performed?
Nake mũthamaki akĩĩra Esiteri mũtumia wa mũthamaki atĩrĩ, “Ayahudi nĩmoragĩte na makaniina andũ magana matano o na ariũ ikũmi a Hamani thĩinĩ wa nyũmba ya ũthamaki kũu gĩikaro kĩrĩa kĩirigĩre gĩa Shushani. Hihi mekĩte atĩa mabũrũri-inĩ marĩa mangĩ ma mũthamaki? Atĩrĩrĩ, ihooya rĩaku nĩ rĩrĩkũ? Nĩũkũhingĩrio. Na nĩ ũndũ ũrĩkũ ũrooria ũheo? O naguo ũndũ ũcio nĩũkũheo.”
13 Then said Esther, If, unto the king, it seem good, let it be granted, to-morrow also, unto the Jews who are in Shusan, to do according to the edict of to-day, —and that, the ten sons of Haman, be hanged upon the gallows.
Esiteri agĩcookia atĩrĩ, “Mũthamaki angĩona kwagĩrĩire-rĩ, ĩtĩkĩria Ayahudi arĩa marĩ Shushani makaahingia itua rĩĩrĩ o na rũciũ, na ũreke ciimba cia ariũ ikũmi a Hamani igaacuurio mĩtĩ-igũrũ.”
14 And the king commanded it to be done so, and there was given an edict, in Shusan, —and, the ten sons of Haman, they hanged.
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio mũthamaki agĩathana gwĩkwo ũguo. Itua rĩkĩhĩtũkio kũu Shushani, nao magĩcuuria ciimba cia ariũ acio ikũmi a Hamani mĩtĩ-igũrũ.
15 So the Jews who were in Shusan assembled themselves together, on the fourteenth day also, of the month Adar, and slew in Shusan three hundred men, —but, on the spoil, thrust they not forth their hand.
Ayahudi arĩa maarĩ kũu Shushani magĩcookanĩrĩra hamwe mũthenya wa ikũmi na ĩna wa mweri wa Adari, nao makĩũraga andũ magana matatũ kũu Shushani. No matiigana gũtaha indo ciao.
16 And, the remainder of the Jews who were in the provinces of the king, assembled themselves together and stood for their life, and then had rest from their enemies, having slain of them that hated them seventy-five thousand, —but, on the spoil, thrust they not forth their hand:
O mahinda macio-rĩ, Ayahudi arĩa angĩ maatigaire mabũrũri-inĩ marĩa mũthamaki ũcio aathamakaga o nao makĩũngana hamwe nĩguo meegitĩre, na meeyũkĩrĩrie harĩ thũ ciao. Makĩũraga andũ ngiri mĩrongo mũgwanja na ithano cia thũ ciao, no matiigana gũtaha indo ciao.
17 on the thirteenth day of the month Adar, —and then had rest on the fourteenth day thereof, and made it a day of banqueting and rejoicing.
Ũndũ ũcio wekĩkire kũrĩ mũthenya wa ikũmi na ĩtatũ mweri-inĩ wa Adari, na kũrĩ mũthenya wa ikũmi na ĩna makĩhurũka, na makĩũtua mũthenya wa ndĩa na wa gĩkeno.
18 But, the Jews who were in Shusan, assembled themselves together on the thirteenth day thereof, and on the fourteenth day thereof, —and then had rest on the fifteenth day thereof, and made it a day of banqueting and rejoicing.
Na rĩrĩ, Ayahudi arĩa maarĩ Shushani, nĩmonganĩte mũthenya wa ikũmi na ĩtatũ na wa ikũmi na ĩna, naguo mũthenya wa ikũmi na ĩtano makĩhurũka na makĩũtua mũthenya wa ndĩa na wa gĩkeno.
19 For this cause, the country Jews, who dwelt in the country towns, were making the fourteenth day of the month Adar one of rejoicing and banqueting, and a day of happiness, —and of sending portions every one to his neighbour.
Ũndũ ũcio nĩguo ũtũmaga Ayahudi arĩa maatũũraga tũtũũra-inĩ marũmie mũthenya wa ikũmi na ĩna wa mweri wa Adari, ũrĩ mũthenya wa gĩkeno na wa ndĩa, na mũthenya wa kũheana iheo harĩ mũndũ na ũrĩa ũngĩ.
20 And Mordecai wrote these things, —and sent letters unto all the Jews who were in all the provinces of King Ahasuerus, near, and far off;
Moridekai nĩandĩkire maũndũ macio, na agĩtũmĩra Ayahudi othe marũa kũndũ guothe mabũrũri-inĩ ma Mũthamaki Ahasuerusu, marĩa maarĩ gũkuhĩ na marĩa maarĩ kũraya,
21 to establish for them, that they should continue to observe the fourteenth day of the month Adar, and the fifteenth day thereof, —always year by year;
nĩguo makũngũyagĩre mũthenya wa ikũmi na ĩna, na wa ikũmi na ĩtano wa mweri wa Adari o mwaka,
22 according to the days wherein the Jews found rest from their enemies, and the month which was turned for them, from sorrow to joy, and from mourning to a happy day, —that they should make them days of banqueting and rejoicing, and of sending portions, every one to his neighbour, and gifts, unto the needy.
arĩ rĩo ihinda rĩrĩa Ayahudi meeyũkĩrĩirie kũrĩ thũ ciao, o na arĩ guo mweri ũrĩa kĩeha kĩao gĩatuĩkire gĩkeno, namo macakaya mao magĩtuĩka mũthenya wa gũkũngũiya. Aamandĩkĩire marũmagie mĩthenya ĩyo ĩrĩ mĩthenya ya ndĩa na ya gĩkeno, na ya kũheana iheo cia irio harĩ mũndũ na ũrĩa ũngĩ, na ya kũhe athĩĩni iheo.
23 And the Jews took upon them that which they had begun to do, —and that which Mordecai had written unto them;
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio Ayahudi magĩtĩkĩra gũthiĩ na mbere na gũkũngũĩra ũguo maambĩrĩirie, magekaga ũrĩa Moridekai aamandĩkĩire.
24 because, Haman, son of Hammedatha, the Agagite, the adversary of all the Jews, had plotted against the Jews, to cause them to perish, —and had cast Pur, the same, is the Lot, to terrify them, and to destroy them;
Nĩgũkorwo Hamani mũrũ wa Hamedatha, ũrĩa Mũagagi, o we thũ ya Ayahudi othe, nĩathugundĩte gũũkĩrĩra Ayahudi amaniine, na agĩcuuka puri (ũguo nĩ kuuga agĩcuuka mĩtĩ) nĩguo monũhwo na maniinwo.
25 but, by [Esther’s] going in before the king, he commanded by letter, that his wicked plot which he had plotted against the Jews, should return, upon his own head, —and that he and his sons should be hanged upon the gallows.
No rĩrĩa ũndũ ũcio wa hitho wamenyekire nĩ mũthamaki, akĩruta watho mwandĩke wa kuuga atĩ ũũru ũcio Hamani aathugundĩire Ayahudi ũmũcookerere we mwene, o na atĩ we na ariũ ake macuurio mĩtĩ-igũrũ.
26 For this cause, called they these days Purim, after the name Pur, for this cause, —for all the words of this epistle, —and what they had seen concerning such a matter, and what had reached unto them.
(Nĩ ũndũ ũcio mĩthenya ĩyo ĩgĩtwo Purimu kuumana na rĩĩtwa rĩu Puri.) Nĩ ũndũ wa maũndũ mothe marĩa maandĩkĩtwo marũa-inĩ macio, na nĩ ũndũ wa ũrĩa meyoneire na nĩ ũndũ wa maũndũ marĩa maamakorire,
27 The Jews established and took upon themselves—and upon their seed, and upon all who should join themselves unto them, that it might not pass away, that they would continue to keep these two days, according to the writing concerning them and at their set time, —always year by year.
Ayahudi magĩĩtua kũgĩe mũtugo wa kũrũmĩrĩrwo, nĩguo o ene, na njiaro ciao, na arĩa othe mangĩtũũrania nao, marũmagie mĩthenya ĩyo yeerĩ o mwaka mategũtĩĩrĩria, na njĩra ĩrĩa kwandĩkĩtwo, na mahinda marĩa maatuĩtwo.
28 And, these days, were to be remembered and to be kept, always from generation to generation, by every family, every province, and every city, —that, these days of Purim, should not pass away, out of the midst of the Jews, and, the memorial of them, not cease from their seed.
Mĩthenya ĩyo ĩtuĩke ya kũririkanagwo na ĩmenyagĩrĩrwo nĩ njiarwa ciothe na nyũmba ciothe, na mabũrũri-inĩ mothe na matũũra-inĩ manene mothe. Na mĩthenya ĩyo ya Purimu ndĩkanaage gũkũngũĩrwo nĩ Ayahudi, o na kana kĩririkano kĩayo kĩage njiaro-inĩ ciao.
29 Then wrote Esther the queen daughter of Abihail and Mordecai the Jew, with all authority, —to confirm this second epistle concerning the Purim;
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio Esiteri, mũtumia wa mũthamaki, mwarĩ wa Abihaili, marĩ na Moridekai ũrĩa Mũyahudi, makĩandĩka marĩ na ũhoti wothe ũrĩa maarĩ naguo, nĩguo mekĩre marũa macio ma keerĩ meegiĩ Purimu hinya.
30 and he sent letters unto all the Jews, throughout the hundred and twenty-seven provinces of the kingdom of Ahasuerus, —words of peace and stability:
Nake Moridekai agĩtũmĩra Ayahudi othe arĩa maarĩ mabũrũri-inĩ 127 ma ũthamaki wa Ahasuerusu marũa, marĩ ciugo cia kũmeciiria wega na kũmoomĩrĩria,
31 to establish these days of the Purim, in their set times, according as Mordecai the Jew and Esther the queen had enjoined upon them, and according as they had enjoined upon their own soul, and upon their seed, —the story of the fastings and of their outcry.
nĩgeetha marũmagie mĩthenya ĩyo ya Purimu mahinda marĩa matuĩtwo, o ta ũrĩa Moridekai ũrĩa Mũyahudi marĩ na Esiteri, mũtumia wa mũthamaki maamatuĩrĩire, na o ta ũrĩa meetuĩrĩire o ene, hamwe na njiaro ciao, ũhoro wĩgiĩ mahinda mao ma kwĩhinga kũrĩa irio na gũcakaya.
32 And, the command of Esther, confirmed the story of these Purim, —and it was written in a book.
Itua rĩu rĩa kũrũmĩrĩrwo rĩa Esiteri nĩrĩekĩrire mawatho macio maakoniĩ Purimu hinya, naguo watho ũcio ũkĩandĩkwo mabuku-inĩ ma kĩririkano.
