< Esta 8 >
1 Siku ile ile Mfalme Ahasuero akampa Malkia Esta shamba la Hamani, adui wa Wayahudi. Naye Mordekai akaja mbele ya mfalme, kwa kuwa Esta alikuwa amesema jinsi anavyohusiana naye.
On the day that he gave the king Ahasuerus to Esther the queen [the] house of Haman [the] opposer (of the Jews *Q(k)*) and Mordecai he came before the king for she had told Esther what? [was] he to her.
2 Mfalme akaivua pete yake ya muhuri, ambayo alikuwa amemnyangʼanya Hamani, akampa Mordekai, naye Esta akamweka Mordekai juu ya shamba la Hamani.
And he removed the king signet-ring his which he had taken away from Haman and he gave it to Mordecai and she appointed Esther Mordecai over [the] house of Haman.
3 Esta alimsihi tena mfalme, akianguka miguuni pake na kulia. Akamwomba akomeshe mpango mwovu wa Hamani Mwagagi ambao alikuwa ameupanga dhidi ya Wayahudi.
And she repeated Esther and she spoke before the king and she fell before feet his and she wept and she sought favor to him to take away [the] evil of Haman the Agagite and plan his which he had planned on the Jews.
4 Kisha mfalme alimnyooshea Esta fimbo yake ya utawala ya dhahabu naye aliinuka na kusimama mbele yake.
And he extended the king to Esther [the] scepter of gold and she arose Esther and she stood before the king.
5 Esta akasema, “Kama ikimpendeza mfalme, nami kama nikipata kibali naye akiona ni jambo lililo sawa kunitendea na kama akipendezwa nami, basi iandikwe amri ya kuzitangua barua zile Hamani mwana wa Hamedatha, Mwagagi, alizotunga na kuandika kuangamiza Wayahudi katika majimbo yote ya mfalme.
And she said if [is] on the king good and if I have found favor before him and it is proper the matter before the king and [am] good I in view his let it be written to revoke the letters [the] plan of Haman [the] son of Hammedatha the Agagite which he wrote to destroy the Jews who [are] in all [the] provinces of the king.
6 Kwa maana nitawezaje kuvumilia kuona maafa yakiwapata watu wangu? Nitawezaje kuvumilia kuona maangamizi ya jamaa yangu?”
For how? will I be able and I will look on the evil which it will find people my and how? will I be able and I will look on [the] destruction of kindred my.
7 Mfalme Ahasuero akawajibu Malkia Esta na Mordekai Myahudi, “Kwa sababu Hamani aliwashambulia Wayahudi, nimetoa shamba la Hamani kwa Esta, naye ameangikwa kwenye mti wa kunyongea.
And he said the king Ahasuerus to Esther the queen and to Mordecai the Jew here! [the] house of Haman I have given to Esther and him they have hanged on the gallows on that he stretched out hand his (on the Jews. *Q(k)*)
8 Basi andika amri nyingine kwa jina la mfalme kwa ajili ya Wayahudi kama unavyoona vyema, kisha uifunge kwa kutia muhuri kwa pete ya mfalme kwa kuwa hakuna andiko lililoandikwa kwa jina la mfalme na kutiwa muhuri kwa pete ya mfalme linaloweza kutanguliwa.”
And you write on the Jews according to the good in view your in [the] name of the king and seal [it] with [the] signet-ring of the king for a writing which [is] written in [the] name of the king and it is sealed with [the] signet-ring of the king not to revoke.
9 Mara moja waandishi wa mfalme wakaitwa kwenye siku ya ishirini na tatu, mwezi wa tatu, ndio mwezi wa Siwani. Wakaandika yote Mordekai aliyoamuru kwa Wayahudi, kwa majemadari, watawala na wakuu wa majimbo 127 kuanzia Bara Hindi mpaka Kushi. Maagizo haya yaliandikwa kwa maandishi ya kila jimbo na kwa lugha ya kila mtu pia kwa Wayahudi kwa maandishi yao wenyewe na lugha yao.
And they were summoned [the] scribes of the king at the time that in the month third that [is] [the] month of Sivan on [day] three and twenty in it and it was written according to all that he commanded Mordecai to the Jews and to the satraps and the governors and [the] officials of the provinces which - [were] from India and to Cush seven and twenty and a hundred province[s] province and province according to writing its and people and people according to language its and to the Jews according to writing their and according to language their.
10 Mordekai aliandika nyaraka kwa jina la Mfalme Ahasuero, akazitia muhuri kwa pete ya mfalme na kuzipeleka kwa njia ya matarishi, ambao waliendesha farasi waendao kasi waliozalishwa maalum kwa ajili ya mfalme.
And he wrote in [the] name of the king Ahasuerus and he sealed [it] with [the] signet-ring of the king and he sent letters by [the] hand of couriers on horses [the] riders of the steed[s] royal [the] sons of the mares.
11 Waraka wa mfalme uliwaruhusu Wayahudi katika kila mji kuwa na haki ya kukusanyika na kujilinda wenyewe; kuharibu, kuua na kuangamiza jeshi lolote, taifa lolote au jimbo lile litakalowashambulia wao, wake zao, watoto wao na kuteka mali za adui zao.
That he had permitted the king to the Jews - who [were] in every city and city to assemble and to make a stand on life their to annihilate and to kill and to destroy every army of people and province which attacks them little one[s] and women and spoil their to take as plunder.
12 Siku ambayo iliwekwa kwa Wayahudi kufanya hili katika majimbo yote ya Mfalme Ahasuero ilikuwa siku ya kumi na tatu ya mwezi wa kumi na mbili, yaani mwezi wa Adari.
On a day one in all [the] provinces of the king Ahasuerus on [day] thir-teen of month two [plus] ten that [is] [the] month of Adar.
13 Nakala ya tangazo ilikuwa itolewe kama sheria katika kila jimbo na iweze kujulikana kwa watu wa kila taifa, ili kwamba Wayahudi wawe tayari siku hiyo kulipiza kisasi kwa adui zao.
copy of The writing [was] to be given law in every province and province being disclosed to all the peoples and to be (the Jews *Q(k)*) (ready *Q(K)*) for the day this to avenge themselves from enemies their.
14 Matarishi, wakiwa wamepanda farasi wa kifalme, walitoka mbio wakichochewa na agizo la mfalme. Tangazo lilitolewa pia katika ngome ya mji wa Shushani.
The couriers [the] riders of the steed[s] royal they went out hastened and hurried at [the] word of the king and the law it was given in Susa the citadel.
15 Mordekai akaondoka mbele ya mfalme akiwa amevaa mavazi ya kifalme ya buluu na nyeupe, taji kubwa la dhahabu na joho la zambarau la kitani safi. Na mji wa Shushani ukasherehekea kwa furaha.
And Mordecai he went out - from to before the king in clothing of royalty of violet and white cloth and a crown of gold great and a robe of fine linen and purple and the city of Susa it shouted for joy and it rejoiced.
16 Kwa maana kwa Wayahudi ulikuwa wakati wa raha na furaha, shangwe na heshima.
To the Jews it belonged light and gladness and joy and honor.
17 Katika kila jimbo na katika kila jiji, popote waraka wa mfalme ulipofika, kulikuwepo furaha na shangwe miongoni mwa Wayahudi, pamoja na karamu na kushangilia. Na watu wengi wa mataifa mengine wakajifanya Wayahudi kwa sababu ya kuwahofu Wayahudi.
And in every province and province and in every city and city [the] place where [the] word of the king and law his [was] reaching gladness and joy [belonged] to the Jews a feast and a day good and many of [the] peoples of the land [were] becoming Jews for it had fallen dread of the Jews on them.
