1 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.
Oluvannyuma lw’ebyo Kabaka Akaswero n’akuza Kamani mutabani wa Kammedasa, Omwagaagi era n’amusukkiriza n’amuwa n’entebe ey’ekitiibwa okusinga abakungu abalala bonna.
2 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.
Era abaddu ba Kabaka bonna abaabeeranga ku wankaaki wa Kabaka baamufukaamiriranga ne bamuwa ekitiibwa, kubanga kyali kiragiro ekyava eri Kabaka. Naye Moluddekaayi teyamufukaamirira wadde okumussaamu ekitiibwa.
3 Hĩndĩ ĩyo anene a mũthamaki arĩa maarĩ kĩhingo-inĩ kĩa mũciĩ wa mũthamaki makĩũria Moridekai atĩrĩ, “Ũregete gwathĩkĩra watho wa mũthamaki nĩkĩ?”
Awo abagalagala ba Kabaka ab’oku wankaaki ne babuuza Moluddekaayi nti, “Nsonga ki ekulobera okugondera ekiragiro kya Kabaka?”
4 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.
Buli lunaku baayogeranga naye ku nsonga eyo naye ye n’agaana okubawuliriza. Ekyavaamu kwe kubuulira Kamani ku nsonga y’emu, balabe oba Moluddekaayi anaakyusa ku nneeyisa ye, kubanga yali yabategeezaako nti Muyudaaya.
5 Rĩrĩa Hamani onire atĩ Moridekai ndangĩmũturĩria maru kana amũtĩĩe, akĩngʼũrĩka mũno.
Awo Kamani bwe yalaba nga Moluddekaayi tamufukaamirira wadde okumussaamu ekitiibwa, Kamani n’asunguwala nnyo.
6 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.
Bwe yategeera abantu ba Moluddekaayi kye bali, Kamani n’alaba ng’okumutta yekka tekigasa. Kamani n’anoonya engeri gy’ayinza okuzikiriza abantu ba Moluddekaayi, Abayudaaya bonna mu bwakabaka bwonna obwa Akaswero.
7 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.
Awo mu mwezi ogw’olubereberye ogwa Nisani, mu mwaka ogw’ekkumi n’ebiri ogwa kabaka Akaswero, ne bakuba Puli, ke kalulu, mu maaso ga Kamani okufuna olunaku n’omwezi, era omwezi ogw’ekkumi n’ebiri ogwa Adali ne gulondebwa.
8 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.
Awo Kamani n’agamba Kabaka Akaswero nti, “Waliwo abantu abasaasaanye ate nga beeyawudde ku mawanga mu bitundu byonna eby’obwakabaka bwo; n’amateeka gaabwe ga njawulo ku g’abantu abalala bonna, era tebakuuma mateeka ga Kabaka. Noolwekyo tekigasa Kabaka kubagumiikiriza.
9 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.”
Kabaka bw’anasiima, kiwandiikibwe era kiyisibwe, n’okuzikirizibwa bazikirizibwe: nange ndisasula ttalanta eza ttani ebikumi bisatu mu nsavu mu ttaano ebya ffeeza mu ggwanika lya Kabaka.”
10 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio mũthamaki akĩruta gĩcũhĩ kĩa mũhũũri wake kuuma kĩara-inĩ gĩake, agĩkĩnengera Hamani mũrũ wa Hamedatha, ũrĩa Mũagagi, ũcio thũ ya Ayahudi.
Awo kabaka n’aggya empeta ye ku ngalo ye n’agiwa Kamani mutabani wa Kammedasa Omwagaagi omulabe w’Abayudaaya.
11 Mũthamaki akĩĩra Hamani atĩrĩ, “Ikara na mbeeca icio ciaku, na wĩke na andũ acio o ũrĩa ũkwenda.”
Ate era Kabaka n’agamba Kamani nti, “Ensimbi zikuweereddwa n’abantu bakole nga bw’osiima.”
12 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.
Ne bayita abawandiisi ba Kabaka ku lunaku olw’ekkumi n’essatu mu mwezi ogw’olubereberye, ne bawandiika byonna nga Kamani bwe yalagira, ne bawandiikira abaamasaza ne bagavana ba buli kitundu, n’abakungu ba buli ggwanga; era n’eri buli kitundu ng’empandiika yaakyo bwe yali, n’eri buli ggwanga ng’olulimi lwabwe bwe lwali; byawandiikibwa mu linnya lya Kabaka Akaswero era ne biteekebwako akabonero n’empeta ya Kabaka.
13 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.
Ebbaluwa zaatwalibwa ababaka mu bitundu byonna ebya Kabaka n’ekiragiro, eky’okuzikiriza, n’okutta n’okumalawo Abayudaaya bonna, abato n’abakadde, abaana abato n’abakazi mu lunaku lumu olw’ekkumi n’essatu mu mwezi ogw’ekkumi n’ebiri ogwa Adali, awamu n’okunyaga ebyabwe byonna.
14 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.
Ebyaggyibwa mu kiwandiike ne biraalikibwa eri amawanga gonna, ekiragiro ne kirangirirwa mu buli kitundu, balyoke beeteekereteekere olunaku olwo.
15 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.
Awo ababaka ne banguwa okugenda olw’ekiragiro kya Kabaka, etteeka ne libuulirwa mu lubiri lw’e Susani. Awo Kabaka ne Kamani ne batuula okunywa; naye ekibuga kya Susani ne kisasamala.
