Esther 9
1 And in two [plus] ten month that [is] [the] month of Adar on thir-teen day in it when it approached [the] word of the king and law his to be done on the day when they had hoped [the] enemies of the Jews to domineer over them and it was reversed it that they domineered the Jews they over [those who] hated them.
Sasa katika mwezi wa kumi na mbili, siku ya kumi na tatu ambayo ni siku ya Adari, siku ambayo adui wa Wayahudi walitarajia kutekeleza sheria ya mfalme na kupata nguvu dhidi ya Wayahudi. Badala yake Wayahudi wakapata nguvu dhidi ya adui zao.
2 They assembled the Jews in cities their in all [the] provinces of the king Ahasuerus to stretch out a hand on those seeking harm their and anyone not he stood before them for it had fallen dread of them on all the peoples.
Wayahudi wote wakakusanyika katika miji yao katika majimbo yote ya Mfalme Ahusiero, kutia mikono juu ya wale waliokusudia ubaya. Hakuna aliye kuwa tayari kusimama zao kwa sababu hofu yao ilikuwa imewaangukia watu wote.
3 And all [the] officials of the provinces and the satraps and the governors and [the] doers of the work which [belonged] to the king [were] supporting the Jews for it had fallen [the] dread of Mordecai on them.
Wakuu wote wa majimbo, maakida na magavana, na watawala wa mfalme, waliwasaidia Wayahudi kwa kuwa hofu ya Modekai ilikuwa imewaangukia.
4 For [was] great Mordecai in [the] house of the king and [the] report of him [was] going in all the provinces for the man Mordecai [was] going and becoming great.
Kwa kuwa Modekai alikuwa mkuu katika nyumba ya mfalme, na umaarufu wake ukasambaa katika majimbo yote, kwa kuwa Modekai alikuwa akifanyika mkuu.
5 And they struck down the Jews all enemies their a striking down of sword and slaughter and destruction and they did over [those who] hated them according to pleasure their.
Wayahudi wakawavamia maadi zao kwa upanga, wakiwatenda vibaya kama walivyokuwa wamekusudiwa mabaya dhidi yao Wakawatenda kama walivyo ona vyema machoni pao.
6 And in Susa the citadel they killed the Jews and they destroyed five hundred man.
Katika ngome ya mji wa Shushani pekee jumla ya maadui waliouawa na na kuharibiwa na Wayahudi ni wanaume mia tano.
7 And - Parshandatha and - Dalphon and - Aspatha.
Miongoni mwa waliouawa ni pamoja na Parishandatha, Dalphoni, Aspatha,
8 And - Poratha and - Adalia and - Aridatha.
Poratha, Adalia, Aridatha,
9 And - Parmashta and - Arisai and - Aridai and - Vaizatha.
Parimashita, Arisai, Aridai, Vaizatha,
10 [the] ten [the] sons of Haman [the] son of Hammedatha [the] opposer of the Jews they killed and on the plunder not they stretched out hand their.
na wana kumi wa Hamani, mwana wa Hammedatha, adui wa Wayahudi. Lakini hawakuchua mateka yoyote.
11 On the day that it came [the] number of those killed in Susa the citadel before the king.
Idadi ya wale waliouawa siku hiyo katika mji wa Shushani, ilifikishwa kwa Mfalme Ahusiero.
12 And he said the king to Esther the queen in Susa the citadel they have killed the Jews and they have destroyed five hundred man and [the] ten [the] sons of Haman in [the] rest of [the] provinces of the king what? have they done and what? [is] petition your so it may be given to you and what? [is] request your more and it may be done.
Mfalme akamwambia malkia Esta. Mfalme akamwambia Malkia Esta, “Wayahudi wameua wanaume mia tano katika mji wa Shushani, wakiwemo wana kumi wa Hamani adui wa Wayahudi. Je wamefanya nini katika majimbo mengine? Na sasa haja yako ni nini? Utapewa. Ombi lako ni nini?”
13 And she said Esther if [is] on the king good let it be permitted also tomorrow to the Jews who [are] in Susa to do according to [the] law of this day and [the] ten [the] sons of Haman let them hang on the gallows.
Esta akamjibu, “Mfalme kama ikikupendeza, ruhusu Wayuadi walio katika mji wa Shushani wapige mbiu hii na kesho, na miili ya watoto wa Hamani itundikwe juu ya miti.”
14 And he said the king to be done thus and it was given [the] law in Susa and [the] ten [the] sons of Haman people hanged.
Mfalme akaamuru ombi la Esta litekelezwe. Mbiu ilipigwa katika mji wa Shushani, na wana kumi wa Hamani wakatundikwa juu ya miti.
15 And they assembled (the Jews *Q(k)*) who [were] in Susa also on day four-teen of [the] month of Adar and they killed in Susa three hundred man and on the plunder not they stretched out hand their.
Wayahudi katika mji wa Shushani walisanyika pamoja siku ya kumi na nne ya mwezi wa Adari, na kuwaua maadui zao mia tatu katika mji wa Shushani, lakini hawakugusa nyara zao.
16 And [the] remainder of the Jews who [were] in [the] provinces of the king they assembled - and they made a stand on life their and they had rest from enemies their and they killed among [those who] hated them five and seventy thousand and on the plunder not they stretched out hand their.
Na Wayahudi katika majimbo mengine wakakusanyika ili kujilinda na wakapata faraja kutoka kwa maadui na wakawaua maadui zao elfu sabini na tano, lakini hawakugusa mikono yao kwa vitu vya thamani wale waliouwawa.
17 On day thir-teen of [the] month of Adar and they rested on [day] four-teen in it and they made it a day of feast and joy.
Katika siku ya kumi na tatu ya mwezi wa Adari, Wayahudi wakapumzika katika siku ya kumi na nne, wakapumzika siku hiyo ya karamu na furaha.
18 (And the Jews *Q(k)*) who [were] in Susa they assembled on [day] thir-teen in it and on [day] four-teen in it and they rested on [day] fif-teen in it and they made it a day of feast and joy.
Lakini Wayahudi walioishi katika mji wa Shushani wakaja pamoja siku ya kumi na tatu na ya kumi na nne. Na siku ya kumi na tano wakapumzika na wafanya karamu na kufurahia.
19 There-fore the Jews (the rural villagers *Q(k)*) who were dwelling in [the] cities of the open regions [are] observing day four-teen of [the] month Adar joy and a feast and a day good and [the] sending of portions each to neighbor his.
Hii ndiyo sababu Wayahudi wa vijijini, wanaishi maeneo ya vijijini, huadhimisha siku ya kumi na nne ya mwezi wa Adari kama siku ya furaha na karamu na siku ambayo hutumiana zawadi kwa kila mmoja.
20 And he wrote Mordecai the words these and he sent out letters to all the Jews who [were] in all [the] provinces of the king Ahasuerus near and far.
Modekai akaweka mambo haya na akatuma nyaraka kwa Wayahudi wote waliokuwa katika utawala wa Mfalme Ahusiero,
21 To impose on them to be observing day four-teen of [the] month Adar and day fif-teen in it in every year and year.
akiwataka kuazimisha siku ya kumi na nne na kumi na tano ya mwezi wa Adari kila mwaka.
22 As the days when they had rest on them the Jews from enemies their and the month when it was changed for them from sorrow into joy and from mourning into a day good to make them days of feast and joy and [the] sending of portions each to neighbor his and gifts to the needy [people].
Hizi zilikuwa ndizo siku ambazo Wahudi walipata faraja kutoka kwa maadui zao na wakati huu ndio wakati ambao huzuni ya Wayahudi iligeuzwa kuwa furaha, na kutoka kwa maombolezo hadi kwenye pumziko. Walipaswa kuzifanya siku za karamu na furaha, na kutumiana zawadi ya chakula, na zawadi kwa masikini.
23 And he accepted the Jews [that] which they had begun to do and [that] which he had written Mordecai to them.
Wayahudi wakaendelea na maadhimisho wakifanya kile ambacho Modekai alikuwa amewaandikia.
24 For Haman [the] son of Hammedatha the Agagite [the] opposer of all the Jews he had planned on the Jews to destroy them and he had cast Pur that [is] the lot to trouble them and to destroy them.
Na wakati huo Modekai mwana wa Hammedatha mwagagi, adui wa Wayahudi aliyekuwa amepanga njama ya kuwaangamiza Wayahudi, na kwa kupiga Puri (yaani akapiga kura) ili kuwaangamiza kabisa.
25 And when came it before the king he said with the letter let it return plan his evil which he had planned on the Jews on own head his and people will hang him and sons his on the gallows.
Lakini Mfalme Ahusiero alipopata taarifa ya mpango mbaya huu alioupanga Modekai dhidi ya Wayahudi, aliagiza kwa nyaraka afanyiwe Modekai mwenyewe, na kwamba yeye na wana wake wanyongwe juu ya miti.
26 There-fore people called the days these Purim on [the] name of the Pur there-fore on all [the] words of the letter this and whatever they had seen on thus and whatever it had happened to them.
Hivyo Wayahudi wakaziita siku hizi Purimu, kutokana na jina Puri. Kwa sababu ya mambo yote yaliyo kuwa yameandika katika barua, na mambo yote ambayo walikuwa wameyaona kwa macho yao, na yale yalikuwa yamewapata,
27 They imposed (and they accepted *Q(K)*) the Jews - on themselves - and on offspring their and on all who joined themselves to them and not it will pass away to be observing [the] two the days these according to writing their and according to appointed time their in every year and year.
Wayahudi wakapokea jukumu na desturi mpya. Desturi hii iwe kwa ajili yao, watoto wao, na kila ambaye aliyeungana nao. Na itakuwa kwamba maadhimisho haya watayafanya kwa kila mwaka. Wataadhimisha kwa namna fulani na nyakati hizo hizo kila mwaka.
28 And the days these [were] remembered and observed in every generation and generation clan and clan province and province and city and city and [the] days of the Purim these not they will pass away from among the Jews and remembrance their not it will cease from offspring their.
Siku hizi zilipaswa kuadhimishwa katika kila kizazi, kila familia, kila jimbo na kwa kila mji. Wayahudi hawa na watoto wao hawakuacha kuadhimisha siku hizi za Purimu, ili kwamba wasizisahau.
29 And she wrote Esther the queen [the] daughter of Abihail and Mordecai the Jew all authority to confirm [the] letter of the Purim this second.
Malkia Esta na Modekai wakaandika kwa mamlaka yote na kuthibitisha barua hii ya pili kuhusu Purimu.
30 And he sent letters to all the Jews to seven and twenty and one hundred province[s] [the] kingdom of Ahasuerus words of peace and truth.
Barua zilipelekwa katika majimbo 127 ya mfalme Ahusiero, zikiwatakia Wayahudi wote amani na kweli.
31 To confirm [the] days of the Purim these at appointed times their just as he had imposed on them Mordecai the Jew and Esther the queen and just as they had imposed on self their and on offspring their [the] words of the fasts and cry of distress their.
Na kuthibitisha siku za Purimu sawa sawa na maelekezo ya Modekai na Esta yaliyowataka Wayahudi waadhimishe. Wayahudi wakatii maagizo kwa ajili yao na uzao wao, kama walivyotii siku za kufunga na kuomboleza.
32 And [the] command of Esther it confirmed [the] words of the Purim these and [it was] written in the book.
Agizo la Esta likahakikisha sheria hizi kuhusu Purimu, na ikaandikwa katika kitabu.
