Esiteri 4

1 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.

Now when Mordecai perceiued all that was done, Mordecai rent his clothes, and put on sackecloth and ashes, and went out into the middes of the citie, and cryed with a great crye, and a bitter.

2 Aathiire o nginya kĩhingo-inĩ kĩa mũciĩ wa mũthamaki, tondũ gũtirĩ mũndũ wetĩkagĩrio gũtoonya kũu thĩinĩ ehumbĩte nguo ya ikũnia.

And he came euen before the Kings gate, but he might not enter within the Kings gate, being clothed with sackecloth.

3 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.

And in euery prouince, and place, whither the Kings charge and his commission came, there was great sorowe among the Iewes, and fasting, and weeping and mourning, and many laye in sackecloth and in ashes.

4 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.

Then Esters maydes and her eunuches came and tolde it her: therefore the Queene was very heauie, and she sent raiment to clothe Mordecai, and to take away his sackecloth from him, but he receiued it not.

5 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.

Then called Ester Hatach one of the Kings eunuches, whom he had appointed to serue her, and gaue him a commandement vnto Mordecai, to knowe what it was, and why it was.

6 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio Hathaka akiumagara, agĩthiĩ kũrĩ Moridekai kĩhaaro-inĩ gĩa itũũra rĩu inene hau mbere ya kĩhingo kĩa mũciĩ wa mũthamaki.

So Hatach went foorth to Mordecai vnto the streete of the citie, which was before the Kings gate.

7 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.

And Mordecai tolde him of all that which had come vnto him, and of the summe of the siluer that Haman had promised to pay vnto the Kings treasures, because of the Iewes, for to destroy them.

8 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.

Also he gaue him the copy of the writing and commission that was giuen at Shushan, to destroy them, that he might shewe it vnto Ester and declare it vnto her, and to charge her that she should goe in to the King, and make petition and supplication before him for her people.

9 Nake Hathaka agĩcooka, na akĩmenyithia Esiteri ũrĩa Moridekai oigĩte.

So when Hatach came, he told Ester the wordes of Mordecai.

10 Nake Esiteri akĩmũtaarĩria ũrĩa ekwĩra Moridekai, akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ,

Then Ester sayde vnto Hatach, and commanded him to say vnto Mordecai,

11 “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.”

All the Kings seruants and the people of the Kings prouinces doe knowe, that whosoeuer, man or woman, that commeth to the King into the inner court, which is not called, there is a law of his, that he shall dye, except him to whom the King holdeth out the golden rodde, that he may liue. Now I haue not bene called to come vnto the King these thirtie dayes.

12 Rĩrĩa ciugo cia Esiteri cierirwo Moridekai,

And they certified Mordecai of Esters wordes.

13 agĩtũmana macookio mamwĩre atĩrĩ, “Ndũgeciirie atĩ tondũ ũrĩ thĩinĩ wa nyũmba ya mũthamaki atĩ wee nowe wiki ũkaahonoka, nao Ayahudi othe maniinwo.

And Mordecai saide, that they should answere Ester thus, Thinke not with thy selfe that thou shalt escape in the Kings house, more then all the Iewes.

14 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?”

For if thou holdest thy peace at this time, comfort and deliuerance shall appeare to the Iewes out of another place, but thou and thy fathers house shall perish: and who knoweth whether thou art come to the kingdome for such a time?

15 Nake Esiteri akĩmeera macookerie Moridekai ũhoro, mamwĩre atĩrĩ,

Then Ester commanded to answere Mordecai,

16 “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.”

Goe, and assemble all the Iewes that are found in Shushan, and fast ye for me, and eate not, nor drinke in three dayes, day nor night. I also and my maydes will fast likewise, and so will I go in to the King, which is not according to the lawe: and if I perish, I perish.

17 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio Moridekai agĩthiĩ na agĩĩka ũrĩa wothe Esiteri aamũtaarĩte.

So Mordecai went his way, and did according to all that Ester had commanded him.
