Esiteri 8
1 Mũthenya o ro ũcio, Mũthamaki Ahasuerusu akĩhe mũtumia wake Esiteri indo cia Hamani, ũcio thũ ya Ayahudi. Nake Moridekai agĩũka mbere ya mũthamaki, nĩ ũndũ Esiteri nĩoigĩte ũrĩa maatarainie.
The same day did King Ahashuerosh giue the house of Haman the aduersarie of the Iewes vnto the Queene Ester. and Mordecai came before the King: for Ester tolde what hee was vnto her.
2 Mũthamaki akĩruta gĩcũhĩ kĩa mũhũũri wake kĩrĩa aatunyĩte Hamani, na agĩkĩhe Moridekai. Nake Esiteri agĩtua Moridekai mũrũgamĩrĩri wa indo cia Hamani.
And the King tooke off his ring, which he had taken from Haman, and gaue it vnto Mordecai: and Ester set Mordecai ouer the house of Haman.
3 Esiteri agĩthaitha mũthamaki o rĩngĩ, akĩĩgũithagia magũrũ-inĩ make akĩrĩraga. Akĩmũhooya aniine mũbango ũcio mũũru wa Hamani ũcio Mũagagi, ũrĩa aaciirĩire wa gũũkĩrĩra Ayahudi.
And Ester spake yet more before the King, and fell downe at his feete weeping, and besought him that he would put away the wickednes of Haman the Agagite, and his deuice that he had imagined against the Iewes.
4 Hĩndĩ ĩyo mũthamaki agĩtambũrũkĩria Esiteri rũthanju rwa thahabu rwa ũthamaki, nake Esiteri agĩũkĩra akĩrũgama mbere yake.
And the King held out the golden scepter toward Ester. Then arose Ester, and stood before the King,
5 Akĩĩra mũthamaki atĩrĩ, “Mũthamaki angĩona kwagĩrĩire, na ngorwo nĩnjĩtĩkĩrĩkĩte nĩwe na one ũndũ ũcio nĩguo wagĩrĩire nĩ gwĩkwo, na akorwo nĩ akenetio nĩ niĩ-rĩ, nĩetĩkĩre kwandĩkithia watho wa kũgarũra marũa marĩa maatũmĩtwo nĩ Hamani mũrũ wa Hamedatha, ũcio Mũagagi, ũrĩa aaciirĩire na akĩandĩkithia nĩguo aniinithie Ayahudi mabũrũri-inĩ marĩa mothe mũthamaki athamakaga.
And sayd, If it please the King, and if I haue found fauour in his sight, and the thing be acceptable before the King, and I please him, let it be written, that the letters of the deuice of Haman the sonne of Ammedatha the Agagite may be called againe, which he wrote to destroy the Iewes, that are in all the Kings prouinces.
6 Nĩ ũndũ-rĩ, ingĩhota atĩa gũkirĩrĩria ngĩonaga ngero ĩrĩa ĩkũgerwo andũ akwa? Ingĩhota atĩa gũkirĩrĩria kuona andũ a nyũmba yakwa makĩniinwo?”
For how can I suffer and see the euil, that shall come vnto my people? Or howe can I suffer and see the destruction of my kinred?
7 Mũthamaki Ahasuerusu agĩcookeria Esiteri mũtumia wa mũthamaki na Moridekai ũrĩa Mũyahudi atĩrĩ, “Nĩ ũndũ Hamani nĩaciirĩire kũũragithia Ayahudi, indo ciake nĩndĩciheete Esiteri, na nĩ mamũcuurĩtie mũtĩ-igũrũ.
And the King Ahashuerosh sayde vnto the Queene Ester, and to Mordecai the Iewe, Behold, I haue giuen Ester the house of Haman, whome they haue hanged vpon the tree, because he layd hand vpon the Iewes.
8 Na rĩrĩ, andĩkithiai uuge ũngĩ na rĩĩtwa rĩa mũthamaki wa gũteithia Ayahudi ta ũrĩa mũkuona kwagĩrĩire, na mũhũũre marũa macio mũhũũri na gĩcũhĩ kĩa mũthamaki, nĩ ũndũ gũtirĩ marũa mandĩkĩtwo na rĩĩtwa rĩa mũthamaki na makahũũrwo mũhũũri wa gĩcũhĩ gĩake mangĩgarũrwo.”
Write yee also for the Iewes, as it liketh you in the Kinges name, and seale it with the Kings ring (for the writings written in the Kings name, and sealed with the Kings ring, may no man reuoke)
9 O rĩmwe aandĩki-marũa a ũthamaki magĩĩtwo, mũthenya wa mĩrongo ĩĩrĩ na ithatũ, mweri-inĩ wa gatatũ, mweri wa Sivani. Makĩandĩka watho wothe wa Moridekai kũrĩ Ayahudi na anene a mũthamaki, na abarũthi, na andũ arĩa maarĩ igweta a mabũrũri 127 matambũrũkĩte kuuma bũrũri wa Ahĩndĩ nginya bũrũri wa Kushi. Mawatho macio maandĩkirwo na mwandĩkĩre wa o bũrũri na rũthiomi rwa a andũ, o na kũrĩ Ayahudi na mwandĩkĩre na rũthiomi rwao.
Then were the Kings Scribes called at the same time, euen in the thirde moneth, that is the moneth Siuan, on the three and twentieth day thereof: and it was written, according to all as Mordecai commanded, vnto the Iewes and to the princes, and captaines, and rulers of the prouinces, which were from India euen vnto Ethiopia, an hundreth and seuen and twentie prouinces, vnto euery prouince, according to the writing thereof, and to euery people after their speache, and to the Iewes, according to their writing, and according to their language.
10 Moridekai nĩandĩkithirie marũa na rĩĩtwa rĩa Mũthamaki Ahasuerusu, makĩhũũrwo mũhũũri wa gĩcũhĩ kĩa mũthamaki, na akĩmatũma na andũ arĩa maathiiaga mahaicĩte mbarathi, o arĩa maahaicaga mbarathi iria ciarĩ ihenya, nacio ciaciarĩtwo nĩ mbarathi cia mũthamaki.
And hee wrote in the King Ahashuerosh name, and sealed it with the Kings ring: and he sent letters by postes on horsebacke and that rode on beastes of price, as dromedaries and coltes of mares.
11 Itua rĩu rĩa mũthamaki rĩgĩtĩkĩria Ayahudi a matũũra mothe marĩa manene kĩhooto gĩa kũngana megitĩre; maniine, na moorage, na mahukie mbũtũ o ciothe cia rũruka o ruothe kana bũrũri ũrĩa ũngĩmatharĩkĩra, o hamwe na andũ-a-nja na ciana ciao; na matahe indo cia thũ ciao.
Wherein the King graunted the Iewes (in what cities so euer they were) to gather theselues together, and to stand for their life, and to roote out, to slay and to destroy al the power of the people and of the prouince that vexed them, both children and women, and to spoyle their goods:
12 Mũthenya ũrĩa wamũrirwo wa Ayahudi gwĩka ũguo mabũrũri-inĩ mothe ma Mũthamaki Ahasuerusu warĩ mũthenya wa ikũmi na ĩtatũ mweri wa ikũmi na ĩĩrĩ, naguo nĩ mweri wa Adari.
Vpon one day in all the prouinces of King Ahashuerosh, euen in the thirteenth day of the twelft moneth, which is the moneth Adar.
13 Kobi ya marũa macio ma itua rĩu yarĩ ĩheanwo ĩrĩ watho wa kũrũmĩrĩrwo mabũrũri-inĩ mothe, na itua rĩu rĩmenyithio andũ a ndũrĩrĩ ciothe, nĩguo Ayahudi mehaarĩrie mũthenya ũcio merĩhĩrie harĩ thũ ciao.
The copie of the writing was, howe there should be a commandement giuen in all and euery prouince, published among all the people, and that the Iewes should be ready against that day to auenge themselues on their enemies.
14 Atwari acio a marũa, mahaicĩte mbarathi cia mũthamaki, magĩthiĩ na ihenya nĩkũhĩkwo nĩ watho wa mũthamaki. Narĩo itua rĩu nĩrĩaheanirwo kũu nyũmba-inĩ ya mũthamaki kũu Shushani.
So the postes rode vpon beasts of price, and dromedaries, and went forth with speede, to execute the Kings commandement, and the decree was giuen at Shushan the palace.
15 Moridekai oimire mbere ya mũthamaki ekĩrĩte nguo cia ũthamaki cia rangi wa bururu na rangi mwerũ, na arĩ na tanji nene ya thahabu mũtwe, na akehumba nguo ndaaya ya rangi wa ndathi ya gatani ĩrĩa njega. Nao andũ a itũũra rĩa Shushani magĩkũngũĩra itua rĩu marĩ na gĩkeno.
And Mordecai went out from the King in royall apparell of blewe, and white, and with a great crowne of gold, and with a garment of fine linen and purple, and the citie of Shushan reioyced and was glad.
16 Kũrĩ Ayahudi rĩu rĩarĩ ihinda rĩa gũkena, na kũigua wega na gũcanjamũka o na gũtĩĩka.
And vnto the Iewes was come light and ioy and gladnes, and honour.
17 Thĩinĩ wa bũrũri o wothe o na thĩinĩ wa itũũra inene o rĩothe, kũrĩa guothe itua rĩu rĩa mũthamaki rĩatwarirwo, Ayahudi nĩmagĩire na gĩkeno na magĩcanjamũka, makĩruga maruga magĩkũngũĩra. Na andũ aingĩ a ndũrĩrĩ ingĩ makĩĩgarũra magĩĩtua Ayahudi tondũ nĩmanyiitĩtwo nĩ guoya wa gwĩtigĩra Ayahudi.
Also in all and euery prouince, and in al and euery citie and place, where the Kings commandement and his decree came, there was ioy and gladnes to the Iewes, a feast and good day, and many of the people of the land became Iewes: for the feare of the Iewes fell vpon them.
