Esther 4
1 And Mordecai hath known all that hath been done, and Mordecai rendeth his garments, and putteth on sackcloth and ashes, and goeth forth into the midst of the city and crieth — a cry loud and bitter,
Rĩrĩa Moridekai aamenyire ũrĩa wothe gwekĩtwo, agĩtembũranga nguo ciake, akĩĩhumba nguo ya ikũnia na akĩĩhurĩria mũhu, agĩthiĩ, agĩtuĩkanĩria itũũra akĩrĩraga anĩrĩire mũno, na arĩ na ruo.
2 and he cometh in unto the front of the gate of the king, but none is to come in unto the gate of the king with a sackcloth-garment.
Aathiire o nginya kĩhingo-inĩ kĩa mũciĩ wa mũthamaki, tondũ gũtirĩ mũndũ wetĩkagĩrio gũtoonya kũu thĩinĩ ehumbĩte nguo ya ikũnia.
3 And in every province and province, the place where the word of the king, even his law, is coming, a great mourning have the Jews, and fasting, and weeping, and lamenting: sackcloth and ashes are spread for many.
Thĩinĩ wa mabũrũri mothe kũrĩa marũa na watho wa mũthamaki wakinyaga kwagĩaga na gũcakaya kũnene, na kwĩhinga kũrĩa irio, na kũrĩra na kũgirĩka kũnene kũrĩ Ayahudi. Aingĩ ao magĩkoma thĩ mehumbĩte nguo cia ikũnia na mehurĩirie mũhu.
4 And young women of Esther come in and her eunuchs, and declare [it] to her, and the queen is exceedingly pained, and sendeth garments to clothe Mordecai, and to turn aside his sackcloth from off him, and he hath not received [them].
Hĩndĩ ĩrĩa ndungata cia Esiteri cia airĩtu na cia arũme iria ciarĩ hakũre ciokire ikĩmũhe ũhoro ũkoniĩ Moridekai, Esiteri nĩathĩĩnĩkire mũno. Akĩmũneanĩra nguo ehumbe arute ĩyo ya ikũnia, no Moridekai akĩrega gũcioya.
5 And Esther calleth to Hatach, of the eunuchs of the king, whom he hath stationed before her, and giveth him a charge for Mordecai, to know what this [is], and wherefore this [is].
Nake Esiteri agĩtũmanĩra Hathaka, ũmwe wa ndungata iria ciarĩ hakũre cia mũthamaki, ũrĩa waheetwo wĩra wa kũmũtungatĩra, akĩmwatha athiĩ akamenye nĩ ũndũ ũrĩkũ ũcio wathĩĩnagia Moridekai, na gĩtũmi kĩaguo.
6 And Hatach goeth out unto Mordecai, unto a broad place of the city, that [is] before the gate of the king,
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio Hathaka akiumagara, agĩthiĩ kũrĩ Moridekai kĩhaaro-inĩ gĩa itũũra rĩu inene hau mbere ya kĩhingo kĩa mũciĩ wa mũthamaki.
7 and Mordecai declareth to him all that hath met him, and the explanation of the money that Haman said to weigh to the treasuries of the king for the Jews, to destroy them,
Nake Moridekai akĩmwĩra maũndũ marĩa mothe maamũkorete, hamwe na mũigana wa mbeeca iria ciothe Hamani eeranĩire kũrĩha ciigwo kĩgĩĩna-inĩ kĩa mũthamaki nĩguo Ayahudi maniinwo biũ.
8 and the copy of the writing of the law that had been given in Shushan to destroy them he hath given to him, to shew Esther, and to declare [it] to her, and to lay a charge on her to go in unto the king, to make supplication to him, and to seek from before him, for her people.
Ningĩ akĩmũnengera kobi ya marũa ma watho ũcio wa kũniinwo kwao, ĩrĩa yandĩkĩtwo na ĩkahunjanĩrio kũu Shushani, akamĩonie Esiteri na amũtaarĩrie ũhoro wayo, na akĩmwĩra aringĩrĩrie Esiteri athiĩ kũrĩ mũthamaki, akamũthaithe maiguĩrwo tha, na aarĩrĩrie andũ ake harĩ mũthamaki.
9 And Hatach cometh in and declareth to Esther the words of Mordecai,
Nake Hathaka agĩcooka, na akĩmenyithia Esiteri ũrĩa Moridekai oigĩte.
10 and Esther speaketh to Hatach, and chargeth him for Mordecai:
Nake Esiteri akĩmũtaarĩria ũrĩa ekwĩra Moridekai, akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ,
11 'All servants of the king, and people of the provinces of the king, do know that any man and woman, who cometh in unto the king, unto the inner court, who is not called — one law [of] his [is] to put [them] to death, apart from him to whom the king holdeth out the golden sceptre, then he hath lived; and I — I have not been called to come in unto the king these thirty days.'
“Anene othe a mũthamaki, o na andũ othe a mabũrũri marĩa mũthamaki aathanaga nĩmooĩ atĩ mũndũ mũrũme kana mũndũ-wa-nja o wothe ũrĩa ũngĩtoonya harĩ mũthamaki hau nja ya na thĩinĩ atetĩtwo, mũthamaki arĩ o watho ũmwe: naguo nĩ atĩ mũndũ ũcio ooragwo. Kĩgirĩrĩria kĩa ũndũ kũũragwo no mũthamaki amũtambũrũkĩirie rũthanju rwake rwa ũthamaki rwa thahabu. No rĩrĩ, rĩu matukũ mĩrongo ĩtatũ nĩmathirĩte kuuma rĩrĩa ndetĩtwo thiĩ kũrĩ mũthamaki.”
12 And they declare to Mordecai the words of Esther,
Rĩrĩa ciugo cia Esiteri cierirwo Moridekai,
13 and Mordecai speaketh to send back unto Esther: 'Do not think in thy soul to be delivered [in] the house of the king, more than all the Jews,
agĩtũmana macookio mamwĩre atĩrĩ, “Ndũgeciirie atĩ tondũ ũrĩ thĩinĩ wa nyũmba ya mũthamaki atĩ wee nowe wiki ũkaahonoka, nao Ayahudi othe maniinwo.
14 but if thou keep entirely silent at this time, respite and deliverance remaineth to the Jews from another place, and thou and the house of thy fathers are destroyed; and who knoweth whether for a time like this thou hast come to the kingdom?'
Nĩgũkorwo ũngĩaga kwaria ihinda ta rĩĩrĩ, kĩhonia na kũhonokio kwa Ayahudi nĩikoima handũ hangĩ, no wee na nyũmba ya thoguo no mũkaaniinwo. Ningĩ-rĩ, nũũ ũũĩ kana wokire ũthamaki-inĩ nĩ ũndũ wa ihinda ta rĩĩrĩ?”
15 And Esther speaketh to send back unto Mordecai:
Nake Esiteri akĩmeera macookerie Moridekai ũhoro, mamwĩre atĩrĩ,
16 'Go, gather all the Jews who are found in Shushan, and fast for me, and do not eat nor drink three days, by night and by day; also I and my young women do fast likewise, and so I go in unto the king, that [is] not according to law, and when I have perished — I have perished.'
“Thiĩ ũcookanĩrĩrie Ayahudi othe arĩa maikaraga Shushani, na mwĩhinge kũrĩa irio nĩ ũndũ wakwa. Mũtikaarĩe kana mũnyue kahinda ka mĩthenya ĩtatũ, ũtukũ na mũthenya. Niĩ na ndungata ciakwa cia airĩtu nĩtũkwĩhinga kũrĩa irio hamwe na inyuĩ. Twarĩkia gwĩka ũguo-rĩ, nĩngathiĩ kũrĩ mũthamaki, o na akorwo tiguo watho ugĩte. Ingĩkua-rĩ, ndĩgĩkue.”
17 And Mordecai passeth on, and doth according to all that Esther hath charged upon him.
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio Moridekai agĩthiĩ na agĩĩka ũrĩa wothe Esiteri aamũtaarĩte.
