Esta 8
1 Siku hiyo Mfalme Ahusiero akampa Malkia Esta mali yote ya Hamani, adui wa Wayahudi. Na kisha akampandisha cheo Modekai ili atumike mbele zake, kwa sababu Malkia Esta alikuwa amemueleza Mfalme uhusiano wake na Modekai.
In that dai kyng Assuerus yaf to Hester, the queen, the hows of Aaman, aduersarie of Jewis. And Mardochee entride bifor the face of the kyng; for Hester knoulechide to hym, that he was `hir fadris brother.
2 Kisha Mfalme akampa pete yake aliyokuwa amempa Hamani. Malkia Esta akampandisha Modekai ili awe mkuu katika shamba la Hamani.
Therfor the kyng took the ryng, which he hadde comaundid to be resseyued fro Aaman, and yaf to Mardochee. Forsothe Hester ordeynede Mardochee ouer hir hows.
3 Kisha Esta akaongea tena na mfalme. Akaanguka chini na kulia mbele za mfalme akimsihi Mfalme abatilishe njama ya kuwaua Wayahudi wote iliyokuwa imetangazwa na Hamani Muagagi
And Hester was not appaied with these thingis, and felde doun to the feet of the kyng, and wepte, and spak to hym, and preiede, that he schulde comaunde the malice of Aaman of Agag, and hise worste castis, whiche he hadde thouyte out ayens Jewis, `to be maad voide.
4 kisha mfalme akamnyoshea Esta fimbo yake ya dhahabu, akainuka na kusimama mbele ya mfalme.
And the kyng bi custom helde forth the goldun yerde of the kyng with his hond, bi which the signe of merci was schewid. `Therfor sche roos vp,
5 Esta akasema, “Kama ikikupendeza na kama nimepata kibali mbele zako, agiza mbiu ipigwe ili kubatilisha barua zilizoandikwa na Hamani mwana wa Hammedatha muagagi, barua alizoziandika ili kuwa angamiza Wayahudi wote walikuwa katika majimbo yote ya mfalme.
and stood bifor hym, and seide, If it plesith the kyng, and if Y haue founde grace bifor hise iyen, and if my preier is not seyn `to be contrarie to hym, Y biseche, that the elde lettris of Aaman, traitour and enemy of Jewis, by whiche he hadde comaundid hem to perische in alle the prouynces of the kyng, be amendid bi newe pistlis;
6 Ninawezaje kuona ubaya ukiwapa watu wangu? Ninawezaje kutazama uharibifu wa jamaa zangu?”
for hou schal Y mowe suffre the deth, and the sleyng of my puple?
7 Mfalme Ahusiero akamwambia Esta na Modekai, Muyahudi, tazama nimempa Esta nyumba yote ya Hamani na wamemtundika Hamani katika mti kwa sababu alikuwa amekusudia kuwaangamiza Wayahudi wote.
And kyng Assuerus answeride to Hester, the queen, and to Mardochee, Jew, Y grauntide the hows of Aaman to Hester, the queen, and Y comaundide hym to be hangid `on the cros, for he was hardi to sette hond ayens the Jewis.
8 Hivyo andika mbiu nyingine kwa ajili ya Wayahudi kwa jina la mfalme na uipige muhuri kwa pete ya mfalme. Kwa sababu mbiu imekwisha andikwa kwa jina la mfalme na kugongwa muhuri kwa pete ya mfamle na haiwezi kubatilishwa.”
Therfor write ye to Jewis, as it plesith to you, `bi the name of the kyng, and aseele ye the lettris with my ring. For this was the custom, that no man durste ayenseie the pistlis, that weren sente in the kyngis name, and weren aseelid with his ryng.
9 Kisha waandishi wa mfalme wakakusanyika kwa wakati huo huo katika mwezi wa tatu, ambao ni mwezi wa Sivani, siku ya ishirini ya mwezi wa tatu. Mbiu iliandikwa yote ambayo Modekai aliyaamuru kwa Wayahudi watendewe na wenyeji wa kila jimbo. Mbiu iliandikwa kwa maakida magavana na wakuu wa majimbo yote yaliyokuwa toka India hadi Ethiopia, majimbo 127 kila jimbo iliandikwa kuwa maandishi yake, na kila watu kwa lugha yao, na kwa Wayahudi kwa maandishi na lugha yao.
And whanne the dyteris and `writeris of the kyng weren clepid; `sotheli it was the tyme of the thridde monethe, which is clepid Siban, in the thre and twentithe dai of that monethe; pistlis weren writun, as Mardochee wolde, to Jewis, and to princes, and to procuratouris, and to iugis, that weren souereyns of an hundrid and seuene and twenti prouynces, fro Iynde `til to Ethiope, to prouynce and to prouynce, to puple and to puple, bi her langagis and lettris, and to Jewis, that thei myyten rede and here.
10 Modekai akaandika kwa jina la Mfalme Ahusiero na akazipiga muhuri kwa pete ya mfalme. Akapeleka nyaraka kwa matarishi, akawapandisha kwenye farasi waendao kwa haraka waliotumika kwa huduma ya mfalme, waliozaliwa kwa mfalme.
And tho pistlis, that weren sent `bi the kyngis name, weren aseelid with his ryng, and sent bi messangeris, whiche runnen aboute bi alle prouynces, and camen with newe messagis bifor the elde lettris.
11 Mfalme akawapa Wayahudi wote katika majimbo ya utawala wake kibali cha kukusanyika na kujilinda na ruhusa ya kuangamiza, kuua na kuharibu mtu yeyote aliyekuwa na kusudi la kuwaua Wayahudi wote na kupora mali zao.
To whiche the kyng comaundide, that thei schulden clepe togidere the Jewis bi alle citees, `and comaunde to be gaderid togidere, that thei schulden stonde for her lyues; and schulden sle, and do awei alle her enemyes, with her wyues and children, and alle howsis.
12 Jambo hili lilipaswa litekelezwe katika majimbo yote ya Mfalme Ahusiero, siku ya ya kumi na tatu ya mwezi wa kumi na mbili, ambao ni mwezi wa Adari.
And o dai of veniaunce, that is, in the thrittenthe dai of the tweluethe monethe Adar, was ordeined bi alle prouynces.
13 Nakala ya mbiu ilipaswa kutolewa kama sheria na kutangazwa kwa watu wote. Wayahudi walikuwa tayari kwa siku hiyo kulipa kisasi kwa adui zao.
And the schort sentence of the pistle was this, that it were maad knowun in alle londis and puplis, that weren suget to the empire of kyng Assuerus, that the Jewis ben redi to take veniaunce of her enemyes.
14 Hivyo matarishi wakaendesha farasi waliokuwa wakitumiwa katika huduma za kifalme. Walienda kwa haraka sana. Mbiu hii pia ilikuwa imetolewa katika mji wa Shushani pia.
And the messangeris yeden out, bifor berynge swift messages; and the comaundement of the kyng hangide in Susa.
15 Kisha Mosekai akaondoka mbele za mfalme akiwa amevaa mavazi ya kifalme, nguo buluu na nyeupe na taji kubwa ya dhahabu na joho la zambarau. Mji wa Shushani ukafurahia.
Sotheli Mardochee yede out of the paleis and of the kyngis siyt, and schynede in the kyngis clothis, that is, of iacynct and of colour of the eir, and he bar a goldun coroun in his heed, and was clothid with a mentil of selk and of purpur; and al the citee fulli ioiede, and was glad.
16 Wayahudi walikuwa na nuru, na furaha na heshima. Mji wowote ambao mbiu hii ilipigwa, Wayahudi walifurahia na walifanya karamu na pumziko.
Forsothe a newe liyt semede to rise to the Jewis,
17 Watu wengi wakatamani kuwa Wayahudi sababu ya hofu ya Wayahudi iliyokuwa juu yao.
ioie, onour, and daunsyng, at alle puplis, citees, and alle prouynces, whidur euere the comaundementis of the kyng camen, a wondurful ioie, metis, and feestis, and an hooli dai, in so myche, that many of an other folk and sect weren ioyned to the religioun and cerymonyes of hem; for the greet drede of the name of Jewis `hadde asaylid alle hem.
