Ɛda no ara, Ɔhene Ahasweros de Haman a ɔyɛ Yudafoɔ ɔtamfoɔ no agyapadeɛ maa Ɔhemmaa Ɛster. Na afei, wɔde Mordekai baa ɔhene anim, ɛfiri sɛ, na Ɛster akyerɛ sɛdeɛ ɔne no bɔ abusua.

2 Kabaka n’aggyako empeta ye gye yaggya ku Kamani n’agiwa Moluddekaayi, ate era ne Eseza n’afuula Moluddekaayi okuvunaanyizibwa ebintu ebyali ebya Kamani.

Ɔhene no worɔɔ kawa a ɔgye firii Haman nkyɛn no de hyɛɛ Mordekai. Na Ɛster yii Mordekai sɛ ɔno na ɔnhwɛ Haman agyapadeɛ so.

3 Awo Eseza n’agenda ewa Kabaka nate ng’amwegayirira ng’agwa ku bigere bye n’okukaaba nga bw’akaaba, ng’amusaba akomye enteekateeka embi zonna eza Kamani Omwagaagi, n’enkwe ze yali asalidde Abayudaaya.

Bio, Ɛster baa ɔhene no nkyɛn bɛhwee ne nan ase, de su srɛɛ no sɛ, Haman atirisopam a ɔpam de tiaa Yudafoɔ no, wɔmma wɔnnyae.

4 Kabaka n’agololera Eseza omuggo ogwa zaabu, amangu ago Eseza n’agolokoka n’ayimirira mu maaso ga Kabaka.

Bio, ɔhene no sɔɔ sika ahempoma no mu, de kyerɛɛ Ɛster so. Enti, ɔsɔre gyinaa nʼanim

5 Eseza n’ayogera nti, “Kabaka bw’anasiima, era obanga ŋŋaanze mu maaso ga Kabaka, nange obanga musanyusa, bawandiike ekiragiro okujjulula ebbaluwa Kamani mutabani wa Kammedasa Omwagaagi, ze yayiiya era n’awandiika okuzikiriza Abayudaaya mu bitundu byonna ebya kabaka.

kaa sɛ, “Sɛ mesɔ Ɔhenkɛseɛ ani na sɛ ɔdwene sɛ ɛyɛ a, hyɛ mmara a ɛtia sɛeɛ a na Hamedata babarima Haman pɛ sɛ ɔsɛe Yudafoɔ a wɔwɔ ɔhene amantam nyinaa no mu.

6 Nnyinza ntya okugumiikiriza okulaba obulabe obulijja ku bantu bange, era n’okulaba okuzikirizibwa okw’ennyumba yange?”

Na mɛyɛ dɛn matena ase ahwɛ sɛ wɔrekunkum me nkurɔfoɔ ne mʼabusuafoɔ, asɛe wɔn?”

7 Awo Kabaka Akaswero n’agamba Nnabagereka Eseza ne Moluddekaayi Omuyudaaya nti, “Olw’okuba Kamani yali ayagala kuzikiriza Abayudaaya, ebintu bye mbiwadde Eseza, era n’okuwanikibwa awanikibbwa ku Kalabba.

Na ɔhene Ahasweros ka kyerɛɛ Ɔhemmaa Ɛster ne Yudani Mordekai sɛ, “Mede Haman agyapadeɛ ama Ɛster, na wɔasɛn no dua so, ɛfiri sɛ, ɔpɛɛ sɛ ɔsɛe Yudafoɔ.

8 Noolwekyo muwandiike ekiwandiiko ekirala mu linnya lya Kabaka ku lw’Abayudaaya nga bwe musiima, era mukisseeko akabonero n’empeta ya Kabaka, kubanga tewali kiwandiiko ekiwandiikiddwa mu linnya lya Kabaka era ekiteekeddwako akabonero n’empeta ya Kabaka ekiyinza okujjululwa.”

Afei, kɔ so fa ɔhene din to nkra kɔma Yudafoɔ, ka deɛ wopɛ biara kyerɛ wɔn, na fa ɔhene kawa no sɔ ano. Nanso, kae sɛ, biribiara a wɔatwerɛ wɔ ɔhene din mu de ne kawa asɔ ano no, wɔnnane ani.”

9 Ku lunaku olw’amakumi abiri mu esatu mu mwezi ogwokusatu, gwe mwezi Sivaani abawandiisi ba Kabaka ne bayitibwa ne bawandiika byonna Moluddekaayi bye yalagira Abayudaaya, ebbaluwa n’eweerezebwa eri abaamasaza, ne bagavana n’abakungu abaafuganga mu bitundu ekikumi mu abiri mu omusanvu okuva e Buyindi okutuusa ku Buwesiyopya. Ebiragiro by’awandiikibwa eri buli ssaza ng’empandiika yaalyo bwe yali, n’eri buli ggwanga ng’olulimi lwabwe bwe lwali, n’eri Abayudaaya mu mpandiika yaabwe era ne mu lulimi lwabwe.

Enti, Siwan bosome (bɛyɛ Ayɛwohomumu) da a ɛtɔ so aduonu enum no, wɔfrɛɛ ɔhene atwerɛfoɔ. Mordekai kaa nsɛm no, na wɔtwerɛɛ mmara kɔmaa Yudafoɔ ne mmapɔmma, amradofoɔ ne mpasua no mu adwumayɛfoɔ a wɔwɔ amantam ɔha aduonu nson no mu, ɛfiri India kɔsi Etiopia. Wɔtwerɛɛ mmara no wɔ kasa hodoɔ a nnipa no ka no ahemman no mu, a Yudafoɔ no ka ho.

10 Moluddekaayi n’awandiika mu linnya lya Kabaka Akaswero, ebbaluwa n’azissaako akabonero n’empeta ya Kabaka, n’aziweereza zitwalibwe ababaka abeebagala embalaasi ezidduka ennyo ate nga zaakuzibwa mu bisibo bya Kabaka.

Mordekai de Ɔhene Ahasweros din na ɛtwerɛeɛ, na ɔde ɔhene no kawa sɔɔ ano. Ɔde nkrataa no somaa abɔfoɔ ahoɔherɛfoɔ a wɔtenatenaa apɔnkɔ a wɔayɛn wɔn ama ɔhene no som no so.

11 Ekiragiro kya Kabaka ky’awa Abayudaaya mu buli kibuga olukusa okukuŋŋaana n’okwekuuma; okuzikiriza, n’okutta, n’okusaanyaawo eggye lyonna ery’eggwanga lyonna oba essaza lyonna erinaabalumba, abakazi baabwe n’abaana baabwe abato, ate era n’okunyaga ebintu by’abalabe baabwe.

Ɔhene no mmara no maa Yudafoɔ a wɔwɔ kuro biara so tumi ma wɔkaa wɔn ho bɔɔ mu, bɔɔ wɔn nkwa ho ban. Wɔmaa wɔn ho kwan sɛ, ɔman anaa ɔmantam biara a ɛbɛtu wɔn mma anaa wɔn yerenom so sa no, wɔwɔ ho kwan sɛ, wɔkunkum wɔn, tɔre wɔn ase, fo wɔn atamfoɔ no agyapadeɛ.

12 Olunaku olwalondebwa Abayudaaya okukola bino mu bitundu byonna ebya Kabaka Akaswero lwe lwali olunaku olw’ekkumi n’essatu mu mwezi ogw’ekkumi n’ebiri, gwe mwezi Adali.

Ɛda pɔtee a wɔtu sii hɔ maa adeyɛ yi wɔ ɔhene Ahasweros mantam mu no yɛ Adar bosome (bɛyɛ Ɔbɛnem) da a ɛtɔ so nson wɔ afe a na wɔrebɛsim no mu.

13 Ebyaggyibwa mu kiragiro ekyo byali bya kuba nga tteeka mu buli kitundu, era n’okumanyibwa eri abantu aba buli ggwanga, nti ku lunaku olwo Abayudaaya beeteekereteekere okulwanyisa abalabe baabwe.

Ɛsɛ sɛ wɔfa mmara yi sɛso wɔ ɔmantam biara mu sɛ mmara, na wɔda no adi kyerɛ ɔmanfoɔ nyinaa. Sɛ ɛba saa a, saa da no, Yudafoɔ no bɛsiesie wɔn ho, atɔ wɔn atamfoɔ so were.

14 Awo ababaka abeebagala embalaasi za Kabaka, ne bagenda mbiro, ku kiragiro kya Kabaka, era n’ekiragiro ekiwandiikiddwa ne kirangirirwa mu lubiri lw’e Susani.

Ɔhene asɛm no enti, abɔfoɔ no de apɔnkɔ a wɔayɛn wɔn ama ɔhene no tuu mmirikatɛntɛ. Wɔhyɛɛ mmara korɔ no ara bi wɔ Susa aban no mu.

15 Awo Moluddekaayi n’ava mu maaso ga Kabaka ng’ayambadde ebyambalo bya Kabaka ebya kaniki n’ebyeru, era ng’atikkiddwa engule ennene eya zaabu, era ng’ayambadde omunagiro ogwa bafuta ennungi n’olugoye olw’effulungu. Ekibuga ekya Susani ne kisanyuka nnyo.

Na Mordekai hyɛɛ ahentadeɛ tuntum ne fufuo ne sikakɔkɔɔ ahenkyɛ, na ɔhyɛɛ batakari afasebire ngugusoɔ fɛfɛ bi guu so. Na ɔmanfoɔ a wɔwɔ Susa no hyɛɛ mmara foforɔ no ho fa.

16 Ate n’eri Abayudaaya kyali kiseera kya ssanyu, n’okujaguza n’ekitiibwa.

Anigyeɛ ne ahosɛpɛ hyɛɛ Yudafoɔ no ma ma, na wɔhyɛɛ wɔn animuonyam wɔ baabiara.

17 Mu buli kitundu, ne mu buli kibuga, ekiragiro kya Kabaka we kyatuuka, waaliyo essanyu n’okujaguza n’embaga nnene ddala mu Bayudaaya. Era abantu bangi abamawanga amalala ne bafuuka Abayudaaya olw’entiisa ey’Abayudaaya eyali ebakutte.

Kuropɔn biara ne ɔmantam biara a ɔhene no mmara no duruiɛ no, Yudafoɔ no sɛpɛɛ wɔn ho, hyɛɛ fa kɛseɛ na wɔdii ho afoofi. Na asase no so nnipa bebree yɛɛ wɔn ho Yudafoɔ, ɛfiri sɛ, na wɔsuro deɛ Yudafoɔ no bɛyɛ wɔn.
