Eseza 9

1 Ku lunaku olw’ekkumi n’ebiri gwe mwezi Adali, ekiragiro kya Kabaka lwe kyali kigenda okutuukirizibwa. Ku lunaku olwo abalabe b’Abayudaaya kwe baasuubirira okubafuga, naye ate Abayudaaya ne bafuga abo abaabakyawa.

And in the twelfth month — it [is] the month of Adar — on the thirteenth day of it, in which the word of the king, even his law, hath come to be done, in the day that the enemies of the Jews had hoped to rule over them, and it is turned that the Jews rule over those hating them —

2 Abayudaaya ne bakuŋŋaana mu bibuga byabwe okubuna ebitundu byonna ebya Kabaka Akaswero, okukwata abo abaali baagala okubaleetako obulabe, so tewaali muntu eyayaŋŋanga okubayinza, kubanga entiisa yali egudde ku bantu bonna abamawanga gonna.

the Jews have been assembled in their cities, in all provinces of the king Ahasuerus, to put forth a hand on those seeking their evil, and no man hath stood in their presence, for their fear hath fallen on all the peoples.

3 Awo abakungu bonna ab’ebitundu, n’abaamasaza, ne bagavana n’abasigire ba kabaka abaafuganga ne bayamba Abayudaaya, kubanga entiisa yali ebakutte olwa Moluddekaayi.

And all heads of the provinces, and the lieutenants, and the governors, and those doing the work that the king hath, are lifting up the Jews, for a fear of Mordecai hath fallen upon them;

4 Moluddekaayi yali akulaakulanye mu lubiri, era n’ettutumu lye ne lyatiikirira okubuna ebitundu byonna, ate era ne yeeyongera amaanyi n’obuyinza.

for great [is] Mordecai in the house of the king, and his fame is going into all the provinces, for the man Mordecai is going on and becoming great.

5 Awo Abayudaaya ne batta era ne bazikiriza abalabe baabwe bonna n’ekitala, era ne bakola nga bwe baayagala abo abaabakyawa.

And the Jews smite among all their enemies — a smiting of the sword, and slaughter, and destruction — and do with those hating them according to their pleasure,

6 Mu lubiri olw’e Susani, Abayudaaya batta ne bazikiriza abasajja ebikumi bitaano.

and in Shushan the palace have the Jews slain and destroyed five hundred men;

7 Ate era batta Palusandasa, ne Dalufoni, ne Asupasa,

and Parshandatha, and Dalphon, and Aspatha,

8 Polasa, ne Adaliya, ne Alidasa,

and Poratha, and Adalia, and Aridatha,

9 Palumasuta, ne Alisayi, ne Alidayi, ne Vaizasa

and Parmashta, and Arisai, and Aridai, and Vajezatha,

10 abatabani ekkumi aba Kamani mutabani wa Kammedasa omulabe w’Abayudaaya. Naye tebaakwata ku munyago.

ten sons of Haman son of Hammedatha, adversary of the Jews, they have slain, and on the prey they have not put forth their hand.

11 Ku lunaku olwo, Kabaka n’ategeezebwa omuwendo gw’abo abattibwa mu lubiri e Susani.

On that day hath come the number of the slain in Shushan the palace before the king,

12 Awo Kabaka n’agamba Nnabagereka Eseza nti, “Abayudaaya basse era bazikirizza abasajja ebikumi bitaano, ate era ne batabani ba Kamani ekkumi nabo battiddwa. Kale kyenkana wa kye bakoze mu bitundu bya Kabaka ebirala? Kiki ky’osaba kaakano? Onookiweebwa. Era kiki kye weegayirira? Kale n’akyo kinaakolebwa.”

and the king saith to Esther the queen, 'In Shushan the palace have the Jews slain and destroyed five hundred men, and the ten sons of Haman; in the rest of the provinces of the king what have they done? and what [is] thy petition? and it is given to thee; and what thy request again? and it is done.'

13 Eseza n’addamu nti, “Kabaka bw’anaasiima, enkya Abayudaaya baweebwe olukusa okukola nga ekiragiro ekya leero bwe kibadde era emirambo gya batabani ba Kamani ekkumi giwanikibwe ku miti.”

And Esther saith, 'If to the king [it be] good, let it be given also to-morrow, to the Jews who [are] in Shushan, to do according to the law of to-day; and the ten sons of Haman they hang on the tree.'

14 Amangwago Kabaka n’alagira kikolebwe. Ekiragiro ne kirangirirwa mu Susani, era emirambo gya batabani ba Kamani ekkumi ne giwanikibwa.

And the king saith — 'to be done so;' and a law is given in Shushan, and the ten sons of Haman they have hanged.

15 Awo ku lunaku olw’ekkumi n’enya mu mwezi ogwa Adali, Abayudaaya mu Susani ne beekuŋŋaanya, era ne batta abasajja ebikumi bisatu mu Susani, naye ne batakwata ku munyago.

And the Jews who [are] in Shushan are assembled also on the fourteenth day of the month of Adar, and they slay in Shushan three hundred men, and on the prey they have not put forth their hand.

16 Mu kiseera kyekimu Abayudaaya abalala abaali mu bitundu bya Kabaka nabo ne bakuŋŋaana okwerwanirira, n’okufuna ne bafuna okuwummula eri abalabe baabwe. Ne batta emitwalo nsanvu mu etaano ku bo naye ne batakwata ku munyago.

And the rest of the Jews, who [are] in the provinces of the king, have been assembled, even to stand for their life, and to rest from their enemies, and to slay among those hating them five and seventy thousand, and on the prey they have not put forth their hand;

17 Bino byabaawo ku lunaku olw’ekkumi n’essatu mu mwezi ogwa Adali, ku lunaku olw’ekkumi n’ennya ne bawummula era ne balufuula lunaku lwa kuliirangako mbaga n’olw’okusanyukirangako.

on the thirteenth day of the month of Adar, even to rest on the fourteenth of it, and to make it a day of banquet and of joy.

18 Abayudaaya ab’omu Susani ne bakuŋŋaananga ku lunaku olw’ekkumi n’essatu ne ku lunaku olw’ekkumi n’ennya, ate ku lunaku olw’ekkumi n’ettaano ne bawummula, era ne balufuula olunaku olw’okuliirangako embaga n’okusanyukirangako.

And the Jews who [are] in Shushan have been assembled, on the thirteenth day of it, and on the fourteenth of it, even to rest on the fifteenth of it, and to make it a day of banquet and of joy.

19 Abayudaaya ab’omu byalo abaabeeranga mu bibuga ebitaaliiko bbugwe kyebaava bafuula olunaku olw’ekkumi n’ennya olw’omwezi Adali okuba olunaku okuliirangako embaga n’olw’okusanyukirangako, era olunaku olw’okuweerazaganirako ebirabo.

Therefore the Jews of the villages, who are dwelling in cities of the villages, are making the fourteenth day of the month of Adar — joy and banquet, and a good day, and of sending portions one to another.

20 Awo Moluddekaayi n’awandiika ebyabaawo byonna, era n’aweereza Abayudaaya bonna abaali mu bitundu byonna ebya Kabaka Akaswero ebbaluwa, mu matwale ag’okumpi n’agewala,

And Mordecai writeth these things, and sendeth letters unto all the Jews who [are] in all provinces of the king Ahasuerus, who are near and who are far off,

21 ng’abalagira okukuumanga olunaku olw’ekkumi n’ennya n’olw’ekkumi n’ettaano mu mwezi ogwa Adali nga lwa mbaga,

to establish on them, to be keeping the fourteenth day of the month of Adar, and the fifteenth day of it, in every year and year,

22 era nga kye kiseera Abayudaaya kye baafunirako eddembe eri abalabe baabwe, ate era nga gwe mwezi obuyinike bwabwe lwe bwafuulibwa essanyu, n’okunakuwala kwabwe ne kukoma. Moluddekaayi n’abiwandiika okujjukira ennaku ezo ng’ennaku ez’okuliirangako embaga n’okusanyukirangako, ate era n’okuweerezaganya ebyokulya ebirungi, era n’okugabiranga abaavu ebirabo.

as days on which the Jews have rested from their enemies, and the month that hath been turned to them from sorrow to joy, and from mourning to a good day, to make them days of banquet and of joy, and of sending portions one to another, and gifts to the needy.

23 Awo Abayudaaya ne basuubiza okukola nga bwe baatandika, nga Moluddekaayi bwe yabawandiikira.

And the Jews have received that which they had begun to do, and that which Mordecai hath written unto them,

24 Kamani mutabani wa Kammedasa Omwagaagi omulabe w’Abayudaaya bonna, yali asalidde Abayudaaya olukwe okubazikiriza, era ng’akubye akalulu Puli, okubasaanyaawo n’okubazikiriza.

because Haman son of Hammedatha the Agagite, adversary of all the Jews, had devised concerning the Jews to destroy them, and had caused to fall Pur — that [is] the lot — to crush them and to destroy them;

25 Naye Eseza bwe yakimanyisa Kabaka, Kabaka n’awa ekiragiro mu buwandiike nti olukwe olubi Kamani lwe yali asalidde Abayudaaya ludde ku mutwe gwe, era ye ne batabani be ne bawanikibwa ku kalabba.

and in her coming in before the king, he said with the letter, 'Let his evil device that he devised against the Jews turn back upon his own head,' and they have hanged him and his sons on the tree,

26 Ennaku ezo kyebaava baziyita Pulimu ng’erinnya lya Puli bwe liri. Awo olw’ebigambo byonna ebyawandiikibwa mu bbaluwa, n’olw’ebyo bye baalaba, n’ebyabatuukako,

therefore they have called these days Purim — by the name of the lot — therefore, because of all the words of this letter, and what they have seen concerning this, and what hath come unto them,

27 Abayudaaya kyebaava balagira ne basuubiza, era ne basuubiriza ezzadde lyabwe n’abo bonna abanaabeegattangako, nti awatali kwekwasa nsonga yonna, bateekwa okukwatanga ennaku ezo zombi buli mwaka ng’ekiwandiiko kyazo bwe kyali era ng’ebiro byazo bwe byali.

the Jews have established and received upon them, and upon their seed, and upon all those joined unto them, and it doth not pass away, to be keeping these two days according to their writing, and according to their season, in every year and year;

28 Ennaku ezo zijjukirwenga ku mirembe gyonna, na buli kika, na buli ssaza era na buli kibuga, era ennaku zino eza Pulimu, Abayudaaya tebalekangayo okuzijagulizaangako, wadde okuzeerabira.

and these days are remembered and kept in every generation and generation, family and family, province and province, and city and city, and these days of Purim do not pass away from the midst of the Jews, and their memorial is not ended from their seed.

29 Awo Nnabagereka Eseza muwala wa Abikayiri ne Moluddekaayi Omuyudaaya ne bawandiika n’obuyinza bwonna okunyweza ebbaluwa eyo eyookubiri eya Pulimu.

And Esther the queen, daughter of Abihail, writeth, and Mordecai the Jew, with all might, to establish this second letter of Purim,

30 Ebbaluwa ne ziweerezebwa, mu bitundu ekikumi mu abiri mu omusanvu eby’obwakabaka bwa Akaswero,

and he sendeth letters unto all the Jews, unto the seven and twenty and a hundred provinces of the kingdom of Ahasuerus — words of peace and truth —

31 n’okuwa ebiragiro nti ennaku ezo eza Pulimu zikuumibwenga mu biro byazo nga Omuyudaaya Moluddekaayi ne Nnabagereka Eseza bwe baabalagira, era nga bwe beeyama bo bennyini n’ezzadde lyabwe okusinziira ku biseera byabwe bye baayitamu eby’okusiiba n’okukungubaga.

to establish these days of Purim, in their seasons, as Mordecai the Jew hath established on them, and Esther the queen, and as they had established on themselves, and on their seed — matters of the fastings, and of their cry.

32 Awo ekiragiro kya Eseza ne kinyweza ebigambo ebyo ebya Pulimu, era ne kiwandiikibwa mu byafaayo.

And a saying of Esther hath established these matters of Purim, and it is written in the Book.
