1 Baada ya matukio haya, Mfalme Ahasuero alimheshimu Hamani mwana wa Hamedatha, Mwagagi, akampandisha na kumpa kiti chake cha heshima cha juu sana kuliko wakuu wengine wote.
After - the things these he made great the king Ahasuerus Haman [the] son of Hammedatha the Agagite and he exalted him and he placed seat his above all the officials who [were] with him.
2 Maafisa wote wa mfalme waliokaa langoni mwa mfalme walipiga magoti na kumpa Hamani heshima, kwa kuwa mfalme alikuwa ameamuru hili kuhusu Hamani. Lakini Mordekai hakumpigia magoti wala kumheshimu.
And all [the] servants of the king who [were] at [the] gate of the king [were] kneeling and bowing down to Haman for thus he had commanded to him the king and Mordecai not he knelt and not he bowed down.
3 Kisha maafisa wa mfalme waliokuwa langoni mwa mfalme walimuuliza Mordekai, “Kwa nini hutii agizo la mfalme?”
And they said [the] servants of the king who [were] at [the] gate of the king to Mordecai why? [are] you transgressing [the] commandment of the king.
4 Siku baada ya siku walizungumza naye lakini hakukubali. Kwa hiyo walimweleza Hamani kuona kama tabia ya Mordekai itaweza kuvumiliwa, kwa maana alikuwa amewaambia kuwa yeye ni Myahudi.
And it was (just as spoke they *Q(K)*) to him a day and a day and not he listened to them and they told to Haman to see ¿ will they stand [the] words of Mordecai that he had told to them that he [was] a Jew.
5 Wakati Hamani alipoona kuwa Mordekai hampigii magoti wala kumpa heshima alighadhibika.
And he saw Haman that not Mordecai [was] kneeling and bowing down to him and he was filled Haman rage.
6 Hata hivyo baada ya kujulishwa watu wa Mordekai ni akina nani, alibadili wazo la kumuua Mordekai peke yake. Badala yake Hamani alitafuta njia ya kuwaangamiza watu wote wa Mordekai, yaani, Wayahudi, walio katika ufalme wote wa Ahasuero.
And he despised in view his to stretch out a hand on Mordecai to only him if people had told to him [the] people of Mordecai and he sought Haman to annihilate all the Jews who [were] in all [the] kingdom of Ahasuerus [the] people of Mordecai.
7 Katika mwaka wa kumi na mbili wa utawala wa Mfalme Ahasuero, katika mwezi wa kwanza uitwao Nisani, walipiga puri (yaani kura) mbele ya Hamani ili kuchagua siku na mwezi. Kura ikaangukia kwenye mwezi wa kumi na mbili, yaani Adari.
In the month first that [is] [the] month of Nisan in year two [plus] ten of the king Ahasuerus someone cast Pur it [is] the lot before Haman from day - to day and from month to month (and it fell the lot on three [plus] ten day of month *X*) two [plus] ten that [is] [the] month of Adar.
8 Kisha Hamani akamwambia Mfalme Ahasuero, “Wako watu fulani wameenea na kutawanyika miongoni mwa watu katika majimbo yote ya ufalme wako, ambao desturi zao ni tofauti na zile za watu wengine wote, nao hawatii sheria za mfalme. Haifai mfalme kuwavumilia watu hawa.
And he said Haman to the king Ahasuerus there it [is] a people one scattered and separated among the peoples in all [the] provinces of kingdom your and laws their [are] differing from every people and [the] laws of the king not they [are] doing and for the king not [is] appropriate to let remain them.
9 Kama inampendeza mfalme, itolewe amri kuwaangamiza, nami nitaweka talanta 10,000 za fedha katika hazina ya mfalme kwa ajili ya watu watakaoshughulikia jambo hili.”
If [is] on the king good let it be written to destroy them and ten thousand talent[s] of silver I will weigh out on [the] hands of [the] doers of the work to bring [it] into [the] treasuries of the king.
10 Basi mfalme alichukua pete yake ya muhuri kutoka kwenye kidole chake na kumpa Hamani mwana wa Hamedatha, Mwagagi, adui wa Wayahudi.
And he removed the king signet-ring his from on hand his and he gave it to Haman [the] son of Hammedatha the Agagite [the] opposer of the Jews.
11 Mfalme akamwambia Hamani, “Baki na fedha yako na uwatendee hao watu utakavyo.”
And he said the king to Haman the silver [is] given to you and the people to do with it according to the good in view your.
12 Kisha siku ya kumi na tatu ya mwezi wa kwanza waandishi wa mfalme waliitwa. Wakaandika barua kwa kila jimbo na katika kila lugha ya watu kama agizo la Hamani lilivyotoka kwa mfalme, kwa watawala wa majimbo mbalimbali, na wakuu wa watu mbalimbali. Hizi ziliandikwa kwa jina la Mfalme Ahasuero mwenyewe na kutiwa muhuri wa pete yake mwenyewe.
And they were summoned [the] scribes of the king in the month first on thir-teenth day in it and it was written according to all that he commanded Haman to [the] satraps of the king and to the governors who - [were] over province and province and to [the] officials of people and people province and province according to writing its and people and people according to language its in [the] name of the king Ahasuerus [it was] written and [it was] sealed with [the] signet-ring of the king.
13 Barua zilipelekwa na tarishi katika majimbo yote ya mfalme zikiwa na amri ya kuharibu, kuua na kuangamiza Wayahudi wote, wadogo kwa wakubwa, wanawake na watoto wadogo, siku moja, yaani siku ya kumi na tatu ya mwezi wa kumi na mbili, ndio mwezi wa Adari, na pia kuteka nyara vitu vyao.
And they were sent documents by [the] hand of the runners to all [the] provinces of the king to annihilate to kill and to destroy all the Jews from young man and unto old [man] little one[s] and women on a day one on [day] thir-teen of month two [plus] ten that [is] [the] month of Adar and spoil their to take as plunder.
14 Nakala ya andiko la amri ilipaswa kutolewa kama sheria katika kila jimbo, na kufahamishwa kwa watu wa kila taifa ili waweze kuwa tayari kwa siku ile.
copy of The writing [was] to be given law in every province and province [was] disclosed to all the peoples to be ready for the day this.
15 Kwa kuharakishwa na amri ya mfalme, matarishi walikwenda na andiko lilitolewa katika mji wa ngome ya Shushani. Mfalme na Hamani waliketi na kunywa, lakini mji wa Shushani ulifadhaika.
The runners they went out being hasty at [the] word of the king and the law it was given in Susa the citadel and the king and Haman they sat down to drink and the city of Susa it was in confusion.
