1 Aftir these thingis kyng Assuerus enhaunside Aaman, the sone of Amadathi, that was of the kynrede of Agag, and settide his trone aboue alle the princes whiche he hadde.
Mgbe ihe ndị a gasịrị, eze bụ Ahasuerọs mere Heman nwa Hamedata onye Agag ka ọ bụrụ onye ukwu, o nyere ya ugwu site nʼinye ya oche dị elu karịa nke ndị ọzọ niile a na-asọpụrụ.
2 And alle the seruauntis of the kyng, that lyuyden in the yatis of the paleis, kneliden, and worschipiden Aaman; for the emperour hadde comaundid so to hem; Mardochee aloone bowide not the knees, nethir worschipide hym.
Ndịisi ọchịchị eze niile na-egbu ikpere nʼala nye Heman nsọpụrụ mgbe ọbụla o si nʼọnụ ụzọ ama ụlọeze na-agafe, nʼihi na ọ bụ otu a ka eze nyere nʼiwu. Ma Mọdekai ekweghị egbu ikpere nye ya, ọ kwekwaghị enye ya nsọpụrụ.
3 `To whom the children of the kyng seiden, that saten bifore at the yatis of the paleis, Whi kepist `thou not the comaundementis of the kyng, othere wise than othere men?
Mgbe ahụ, ndị ozi eze ndị nọ nʼọnụ ụzọ ama eze jụrụ Mọdekai ajụjụ si ya, “Gịnị mere i ji na-enupu isi nʼiwu eze nyere?”
4 And whanne thei seiden ful ofte these thingis, and he nolde here, thei tolden to Aaman, `and wolden wite, whether he contynuede in sentence; for he hadde seid to hem, that he was a Jew.
Ha na-agwa ya okwu kwa ụbọchị kwa ụbọchị, ma o geghị ha ntị. Nʼihi nke a, ha gwara Heman ihe banyere ya, ịhụ ma ọ ga-anabata omume Mọdekai, ebe ọ gwara ha na ya bụ onye Juu.
5 And whanne Aaman hadde herd this thing, and hadde preued `bi experience, that Mardochee bowide not the kne to hym, nethir worschipide hym, he was ful wrooth,
Ihe a were Heman iwe nke ukwuu mgbe ọ chọpụtara na Mọdekai jụrụ igbu ikpere nʼihu ya, maọbụ ịsọpụrụ ya.
6 and he ledde for nouyt to sette hise hondis on Mardochee aloone; for he hadde herd, that Mardochee was of the folc of Jewis, and more he wolde leese al the nacioun of Jewis, that weren in the rewme of Assuerus.
Mgbe ọ matara ndị Mọdekai ha bụ, ọ dị ya ka ihe ileda anya ma o gbuo naanị Mọdekai. Kama Heman chọrọ ụzọ ọ ga-esi laa ndị Mọdekai niile, bụ ndị Juu nọ nʼalaeze niile nke Sekses nʼiyi.
7 In the firste monethe, whos nam is Nysan, in the tweluethe yeer of the rewme of Assuerus, lot was sent in to a vessel, which lot is seid in Ebrew phur, `bifor Aaman, in what dai and in what monethe the folk of Jewis ouyte to be slayn; and the tweluethe monethe yede out, which is clepid Adar.
Nʼọnwa mbụ, nke bụ ọnwa Nisan, nʼafọ nke iri na abụọ nke ọchịchị eze Ahasuerọs. Ha fere nza (nke bụ Pua) nʼihu Heman iji họpụta ụbọchị na ọnwa. Ma nza ahụ danyere nʼụbọchị nke iri na atọ nʼọnwa nke iri na abụọ, nke bụ ọnwa Aada.
8 And Aaman seide to the king Assuerus, A puple is scaterid bi alle the prouynces of thi rewme, and is departid fro it silf togidere, and vsith newe lawis and cerymonyes, and ferthermore it dispisith also the comaundementis of the kyng; and thou knowest best, that it spedith not to thi rewme, `that it encreesse in malice bi licence.
Mgbe ahụ Heman sịrị eze Sekses, “O nwere otu ndị gbasara ebe niile, nʼetiti ndị bi nʼobodo dị iche iche niile nke alaeze gị, ha kepụrụ onwe ha iche. Iwu ha dị iche site nʼiwu nke ndị mba ọzọ. Ha adịghị edebekwa iwu eze, ọ gaghị abara eze uru i hapụ ha ka ha nọdụrụ onwe ha.
9 If it plesith thee, `deme thou that it perisch, and Y schal paie ten thousynde of talentis to the keperis of thi tresour.
Ọ bụrụ na ọ masịrị eze, ya nye iwu ka a laa ha nʼiyi, aga m akwụnye puku talenti ọlaọcha iri nʼaka ndị nlekọta nʼihi ụlọakụ eze.”
10 Therfor the kyng took `fro his hond the ryng which he vside, and yaf it to Aaman, the sone of Amadathi, of the kynrede of Agag, to the enemy of Jewis.
Ya mere, eze gbapụtara ọlaaka ikike ya nye ya Heman nwa Hamedata onye Agag, onye iro ndị Juu
11 And the kyng seide to hym, The siluer, which thou bihiytist, be thin; do thou of the puple that, that plesith thee.
Eze gwara Heman, “Enyela m gị ọlaọcha ahụ, ya na ndị a. Mee ha dịka o si dị gị mma.”
12 And the scryuens of the kyng weren clepid in the firste monethe Nysan, in the threttenthe dai of the same monethe; and it was writun, as Aaman hadde comaundid, to alle prynces of the kyng, and to domesmen of prouynces and of dyuerse folkis, that ech folk myyte rede and here, `for dyuersite of langagis, bi the name of kyng Assuerus. And lettris aseelid with
