Esther 3
1 After these things hath the king Ahasuerus exalted Haman son of Hammedatha the Agagite, and lifteth him up, and setteth his throne above all the heads who [are] with him,
Thuutha wa maũndũ macio, Mũthamaki Ahasuerusu nĩatũũgĩririe Hamani mũrũ wa Hamedatha, ũrĩa Mũagagi, akĩmũnenehia na akĩmũhe gĩtĩĩo gĩakĩrĩte kĩa andũ arĩa angĩ othe maarĩ igweta.
2 and all servants of the king, who [are] in the gate of the king, are bowing and doing obeisance to Haman, for so hath the king commanded for him; and Mordecai doth not bow nor do obeisance.
Anene othe a mũthamaki arĩa maarĩ hau kĩhingo-inĩ kĩa mũciĩ wa mũthamaki nĩmaturagia maru na makainamĩrĩra, magatĩĩa Hamani, nĩ ũndũ mũthamaki nĩathanĩte gwĩkagwo ũguo nĩ ũndũ wake. No Moridekai ndaigana gũturia maru kana kũmũinamĩrĩra amũtĩĩe.
3 And the servants of the king, who [are] in the gate of the king, say to Mordecai, 'Wherefore [art] thou transgressing the command of the king?'
Hĩndĩ ĩyo anene a mũthamaki arĩa maarĩ kĩhingo-inĩ kĩa mũciĩ wa mũthamaki makĩũria Moridekai atĩrĩ, “Ũregete gwathĩkĩra watho wa mũthamaki nĩkĩ?”
4 And it cometh to pass, in their speaking unto him, day by day, and he hath not hearkened unto them, that they declare [it] to Haman, to see whether the words of Mordecai do stand, for he hath declared to them that he [is] a Jew.
O mũthenya nĩmamwaragĩria no akĩrega kũmaigua. Nĩ ũndũ ũcio makĩhe Hamani ũhoro ũcio nĩgeetha mone kana mũtugo ũcio wa Moridekai no ũkirĩrĩrio, nĩgũkorwo nĩameerĩte atĩ we aarĩ Mũyahudi.
5 And Haman seeth that Mordecai is not bowing and doing obeisance to him, and Haman is full of fury,
Rĩrĩa Hamani onire atĩ Moridekai ndangĩmũturĩria maru kana amũtĩĩe, akĩngʼũrĩka mũno.
6 and it is contemptible in his eyes to put forth a hand on Mordecai by himself, for they have declared to him the people of Mordecai, and Haman seeketh to destroy all the Jews who [are] in all the kingdom of Ahasuerus — the people of Mordecai.
No aarĩkia kũmenya rũrĩrĩ rwa andũ a Moridekai rwarĩ rũrĩkũ, akĩona kũũragithia Moridekai arĩ o wiki ti kũiganu. Handũ ha ũguo, Hamani agĩcaria njĩra ya kũniinithia rũrĩrĩ ruothe rwa andũ a Moridekai, na nĩo Ayahudi, arĩa maarĩ mabũrũri-inĩ mothe marĩa maathagwo nĩ Mũthamaki Ahasuerusu.
7 In the first month — it [is] the month of Nisan — in the twelfth year of the king Ahasuerus, hath one caused to fall Pur (that [is] the lot) before Haman, from day to day, and from month to month, [to] the twelfth, it [is] the month of Adar.
Mwaka-inĩ wa ikũmi na ĩĩrĩ wa Mũthamaki Ahasuerusu, mweri wa mbere, mweri wa Nisani, magĩcuuka puri (ũguo nĩ ta kuuga gũcuuka mĩtĩ) mbere ya Hamani nĩguo mathuure mũthenya na mweri. Naguo mũtĩ ũkĩgwĩra mweri wa ikũmi na ĩĩrĩ, nĩguo mweri wa Adari.
8 And Haman saith to the king Ahasuerus, 'There is one people scattered and separated among the peoples, in all provinces of thy kingdom, and their laws [are] diverse from all people, and the laws of the king they are not doing, and for the king it is not profitable to suffer them;
Hamani agĩcooka akĩĩra Mũthamaki Ahasuerusu atĩrĩ, “Nĩ kũrĩ rũrĩrĩ rũhurunjũkĩire ndũrĩrĩ-inĩ cia mabũrũri mothe marĩa ũthamakagĩra, rũrĩa mĩtugo yao ĩtahaanaine na ya andũ arĩa angĩ othe, na andũ a rũrĩrĩ rũu matiathĩkagĩra mawatho ma mũthamaki; nĩ ũndũ ũcio hatirĩ bata wa mũthamaki kũmakirĩrĩria.
9 if to the king [it be] good, let it be written to destroy them, and ten thousand talents of silver I weigh into the hands of those doing the work, to bring [it] in unto the treasuries of the king.'
Mũthamaki angĩona kwagĩrĩire-rĩ, no kũrutwo watho wa kũmaniinithia, na niĩ nĩngũiga taranda 10,000 cia betha thĩinĩ wa kĩgĩĩna kĩa ũthamaki cia kũrĩha andũ arĩa mekũruta wĩra ũcio.”
10 And the king turneth aside his signet from off his hand, and giveth it to Haman son of Hammedatha the Agagite, adversary of the Jews;
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio mũthamaki akĩruta gĩcũhĩ kĩa mũhũũri wake kuuma kĩara-inĩ gĩake, agĩkĩnengera Hamani mũrũ wa Hamedatha, ũrĩa Mũagagi, ũcio thũ ya Ayahudi.
11 and the king saith to Haman, 'The silver is given to thee, and the people, to do with it as [it is] good in thine eyes.'
Mũthamaki akĩĩra Hamani atĩrĩ, “Ikara na mbeeca icio ciaku, na wĩke na andũ acio o ũrĩa ũkwenda.”
12 And scribes of the king are called, on the first month, on the thirteenth day of it, and it is written according to all that Haman hath commanded, unto lieutenants of the king, and unto the governors who [are] over province and province, and unto the heads of people and people, province and province, according to its writing, and people and people according to its tongue, in the name of the king Ahasuerus it hath been written and sealed with the signet of the king,
Na rĩrĩ, mũthenya wa ikũmi na ĩtatũ wa mweri wa mbere, aandĩki-marũa a mũthamaki magĩĩtwo. Makĩandĩka ũrĩa wothe Hamani aathanĩte, na mwandĩkĩre wa o bũrũri, na rũthiomi rwa o rũrĩrĩ, makĩandĩkĩra anene a mũthamaki, na abarũthi a mabũrũri a kũndũ na kũndũ, na andũ arĩa maarĩ igweta a ndũrĩrĩ mwanya. Marũa macio maandĩkirwo na rĩĩtwa rĩa Mũthamaki Ahasuerusu we mwene, na magĩĩkĩrwo mũhũũri wa gĩcũhĩ gĩake mwene.
13 and letters to be sent by the hand of the runners unto all provinces of the king, to cut off, to slay, and to destroy all the Jews, from young even unto old, infant and women, on one day, on the thirteenth of the twelfth month — it [is] the month of Adar — and their spoil to seize,
Marũa macio maatwarirwo mabũrũri-inĩ mothe ma mũthamaki nĩ andũ arĩa maakuuaga marũa, namo maaheanĩte watho wa kwananga, na kũũraga, na kũhukia Ayahudi othe, andũ ethĩ na arĩa akũrũ, na andũ-a-nja na twana tũnini, maniinwo mũthenya o ro ũmwe, arĩ guo mũthenya wa ikũmi na ĩtatũ, mweri wa ikũmi na ĩĩrĩ, mweri wa Adari, na matahe indo ciao.
14 a copy of the writing to be made law in every province and province is revealed to all the peoples, to be ready for this day.
Kobi ĩmwe ya marũa macio ma watho ũcio yarĩ ĩtũmwo ĩrĩ watho wa kũrũmĩrĩrwo mabũrũri-inĩ mothe, na ũmenyithio andũ a ndũrĩrĩ ciothe, nĩgeetha mehaarĩrie nĩ ũndũ wa mũthenya ũcio.
15 The runners have gone forth, hastened by the word of the king, and the law hath been given in Shushan the palace, and the king and Haman have sat down to drink, and the city Shushan is perplexed.
Nĩ ũndũ wa ũrĩa watho wa mũthamaki warĩ wa na ihenya, atwari a marũa makiumagara o narua tondũ watho ũcio waheanirwo kuuma thĩinĩ wa nyũmba ya ũthamaki kũu gĩikaro kĩrĩa kĩarĩ kĩirigĩre gĩa Shushani. Mũthamaki na Hamani magĩikara thĩ kũnyua, no itũũra rĩu inene rĩa Shushani rĩkĩgagaya mũno.
