Ɛster 2
1 Ɔhene Ahasweros bo tɔɔ ne yam akyire no, ɔhyɛɛ aseɛ dwenee deɛ Wasti ayɛ ne mmara a wɔahyɛ no ho.
Oluvannyuma, obusungu bwa Kabaka Akaswero bwe bwakkakkana, yasigala ng’alowooza ku Vasuti, kye yakola, n’ekyali kisaliddwawo.
2 Na nʼasomfoɔ susuu ho kyerɛɛ no sɛ, “Ma yɛnwurawura ahemman yi mu, na yɛmpɛ mmaabunu ahoɔfɛfoɔ mfa wɔn mmrɛ ɔhene.
Awo abaddu ba Kabaka ne baleeta ekirowoozo nti, “Banoonyeze Kabaka omuwala ku bawala abato abalungi nga mbeerera.
3 Ɔhene nyi ananmusifoɔ bi wɔ ɔmantam biara mu, na wɔmfa mmaa ahoɔfɛfoɔ yi mmra ɔhene yerenom atenaeɛ wɔ Susa. Hegai a ɔyɛ opiani no na ɔbɛhwɛ wɔn so, ama wɔn ahosiesie nnuro.
Kabaka alonde ababaka mu buli kitundu mu bwakabaka bwe, bamuleetere abawala abato ababalagavu abalungi mu lubiri lwe e Susani bakuumibwe mu nnyumba y’abakyala. Era Kegayi omulaawe wa Kabaka avunaanyizibwe abawala abo, ng’abawa ne by’okulungiya byonna bye beetaaga.
4 Ɛno akyi no, ababaawa a ɔsɔ wʼani yie no na wɔbɛsi no ɔhemmaa, asi Wasti ananmu.” Saa afotuo yi sɔɔ ɔhene no ani yie, enti ɔyɛɛ saa ntɛm so.
Awo omuwala anasiimibwa kabaka, ye anafuuka Nnabagereka mu kifo kya Vasuti.” Ekirowoozo ekyo kyasanyusa kabaka, era n’akissa mu nkola.
5 Na Yudani bi a ɔyɛ Yair babarima a ne din de Mordekai te Susa aban no mu. Na ɔfiri Benyamin abusuakuo mu. Na ɔyɛ Kis ne Simei aseni.
Mu biro ebyo mu lubiri e Susani, waaliyo Omuyudaaya ow’omu kika kya Benyamini, erinnya lye Moluddekaayi, mutabani wa Yayiri, muzzukulu wa Simeeyi, muzzukulu wa Kiisi,
6 Ɔhene Nebukadnessar na ɔtwaa nʼabusuafoɔ ne Yudahene Yekonia ne afoforɔ bi asuo firii Yerusalem kɔɔ Babilonia.
eyawaambibwa Nebukadduneeza, Kabaka we Babulooni n’aleetebwa mu buwaŋŋanguse nga y’omu ku basibe abaasibibwa ne Yekoniya, eyali Kabaka wa Yuda, okuva e Yerusaalemi.
7 Na saa ɔbarima yi wɔ onua hoɔfɛfoɔ bi a ne din de Hadasa a na wɔsane frɛ no Ɛster. Ɛberɛ a nʼagya ne ne maame wuwuiɛ no, Mordekai faa no kaa nʼabusua ho, tetee no sɛ nʼankasa babaa.
Moluddekaayi yalina omuwala omuto erinnya lye Kadasa, gwe yalinako oluganda, eyakulira mu mikono gye, kubanga yali mulekwa nga yafiirwa kitaawe ne nnyina. Erinnya ly’omuwala ono eddala nga ye Eseza, era yali ng’alabika bulungi nnyo.
8 Ɔhene no mmara a ɔhyɛeɛ no enti, wɔde Ɛster ne mmabaawa bebree baa ɔhene yerenom atenaeɛ wɔ Susa aban no mu, de wɔn hyɛɛ Hegai nsa.
Awo olwatuuka ekiragiro kya Kabaka bwe kyalangirirwa, abawala bangi, nga ne Eseza mwali ne baleetebwa mu lubiri e Susani ne bakwasibwa Kegayi eyali alabirira abakyala ba Kabaka.
9 Hegai ani gyee Ɛster ho yie, ma ɔhwɛɛ no yie. Ntɛm ara, ɔma wɔmaa no aduane sononko, na ɔmaa no ahosiesie nnuro kaa ho. Ɔsane de mfenaa baason a ɔyii wɔn firii ahemfie hɔ maa no, na ɔde ɔno ne mfenaa no kɔtenaa deɛ ɛhɔ yɛ pa ara wɔ mmaa atenaeɛ hɔ.
Eseza n’asiimibwa Kegayi, era n’amuwa ebintu eby’okulungiya, n’emmere ey’enjawulo. Era yamuwa n’abazaana musanvu abaalondebwa okuva mu lubiri lwa Kabaka, era n’amuteeka mu kifo ekisinga obulungi awakuumibwa abakyala.
10 Ɛster anka ne ɔman a ɔfiri mu ne nʼabusua a ɔbɔ ankyerɛ obiara, ɛfiri sɛ na Mordekai abɔ nʼano sɛ ɔnnkyerɛ.
Eseza yali tamanyiddwa ggwanga lye, wadde ekika kye, kubanga Moluddekaayi yali amugaanye okulyogera.
11 Ɛda biara Mordekai kɔnante fa ahemfie no adihɔ hɔ, bisa Ɛster ase sɛ ne ho te sɛn.
Buli lunaku Moluddekaayi yalagangako mu luggya lw’ennyumba ya bakyala okumanya ebyafanga ku Eseza.
12 Ansa na wɔde ababaawa biara bɛkɔ ɔhene nkyɛn no, wɔma ɔde ahoɔfɛ nnuro yɛ ne ho afe. Wɔde kurobo ngo yɛ ne ho abosome nsia na ɛno akyi, wɔde aduhwam ne nku sononko bi ayɛ ne ho abosome nsia.
Awo oluwalo lwa buli muwala bwe lwatuukanga okugenda eri Kabaka Akaswero, omuwala oyo yalinanga okuba ng’amaze emyezi kkumi n’ebiri egy’okufumbirirwa, ng’era mu bbanga eryo, emyezi omukaaga aba ng’akozesa amafuta ag’omugavu n’emyezi omukaaga omulala nga yeyambisa obuwoowo n’ebintu ebirala ebifumbirira.
13 Na sɛ ɛduru ɛberɛ a ɛsɛ sɛ ɔkɔ ɔhene nkyɛn a wɔma no kwan ma ɔfa atadeɛ anaa agudeɛ a ɔpɛ sɛ ɔde siesie ne ho, na ama nʼahoɔfɛ no adi mu.
Bw’atyo omuwala n’alyokanga agenda eri Kabaka. Omuwala bwe yatuukanga okugenda ewa Kabaka yabanga wa ddembe okuweebwa kyonna ky’ayagala okuva mu nnyumba y’abakyala.
14 Anwummerɛ no, wɔde no kɔ ɔhene dabekyire, na adeɛ kye a, wɔde no akɔ baabi a ɔhene yerenom teɛ no. Ɛhɔ no, ɔhene piani foforɔ bi a wɔfrɛ no Saasgas na ɔbɛhwɛ no so. Na ɛhɔ na ɔbɛtena ne nkwa nna nyinaa a ɔrenkɔ ɔhene no nkyɛn bio, gye sɛ ɔhene no ani gyee ne ho yie ansa na wabɔ ne din afrɛ no.
Yagendangayo kawungeezi, ate bwe bwakeeranga, n’addayo mu kifo ekirala era eky’abakyala ekyalabirirwanga Saasugazi, omulaawe wa Kabaka eyakuumanga abakyala ba Kabaka abalala. Era omuwala oyo teyaddanga wa Kabaka wabula ng’amusiimye, era ng’amutumizza.
15 Na ɛduruu Ɛster a ɔyɛ Abihail ba no so no, wammisa hwee gye sɛ deɛ Hegai a ɔyɛ ɔhene piani a ɔhwɛ mmaa no so no tuu no fo wɔ ho no (Mordekai nua ne Abihail, na Mordekai nso ha ɔhwɛɛ Ɛster).
Awo oluwalo lwa Eseza omuwala eyakuzibwa Moluddekaayi, ate nga muwala wa Abikayiri, eyalina oluganda ku Moluddekaayi, bwe lwatuuka okugenda eri Kabaka, Eseza talina birala bye yasaba okuggyako ebyo Kegayi, omulaawe wa Kabaka bye yamuwa. Era Eseza n’aganja mu maaso g’abo bonna abaamutunuulira.
16 Ɛberɛ a wɔde Ɛster kɔmaa ɔhene Ahasweros wɔ ahemfie hɔ Tebet bosome (bɛyɛ Ɔpɛpɔn) mu a na ɛyɛ nʼadedie mfeɛ nson so no,
Yatwalibwa eri Kabaka Akaswero mu lubiri lwe mu mwezi ogw’ekkumi, gwe mwezi Tebesi, mu mwaka ogw’omusanvu ogw’okufuga kwe.
17 ɔhene no dɔɔ no senee mmaabunu a wɔaka no nyinaa. Nʼani gyee ne ho ara kɔsii sɛ, ɔhyɛɛ no ahenkyɛ, pagyaa no sɛ ɔhemmaa, sii Wasti ananmu.
Kabaka n’ayagala nnyo Eseza okukira abakyala abalala bonna, era n’aganja mu maaso ge okusinga abawala embeerera bonna. N’amutikkira engule okuba Nnabagereka mu kifo kya Vasuti.
18 Ahemmaasie no mu, ɔtoo ɛpono maa ne mmapɔmma ne asomfoɔ nyinaa de hyɛɛ Ɛster animuonyam. Ɔmaa obiara akyɛdeɛ bebree, na ɔyɛɛ no afahyɛ wɔ amantam no nyinaa so.
Awo Kabaka n’akolera Eseza embaga ennene, n’ayita abakungu be wamu n’abaami be, era n’alangirira abantu okusonyiyibwa emisolo mu bitundu byonna, ate n’agaba n’ebirabo nga bwe yayagala.
19 Mpo, ɛberɛ a wɔde mmabaawa no nyinaa kɔɔ mmaa atenaeɛ a ɛtɔ so mmienu no mu no, na Mordekai nso abɛyɛ panin wɔ ahemfie hɔ no,
Olunaku olumu Moluddekaayi bwe yali ng’atudde ku wankaaki w’olubiri lwa Kabaka, abawala ne bakuŋŋaanira eri Kabaka omulundi ogwokubiri.
20 Ɛster ankyerɛ baabi a ɔfiri ne abusua a ɔbɔ da. Ɔkɔɔ so dii Mordekai afotuo no so sɛdeɛ ɔyɛeɛ wɔ ɛberɛ a na ɔne no teɛ no.
Eseza yakuuma ekyama Moluddekaayi kye yali amukuutidde, eky’obutayogera ekika kye newaakubadde eggwanga lye.
21 Ɛda koro bi a Mordekai wɔ adwuma mu wɔ ahemfie no, ɔhene no apiafoɔ baanu a wɔn din de Bigtan ne Teres a na wɔyɛ ɔhene no kɔkoamfie no ɛpono ano awɛmfoɔ no bo fuu ɔhene Ahasweros, na wɔpamm ne tiri so sɛ wɔbɛkum no.
Awo mu biro ebyo Moluddekaayi ng’atudde ku wankaaki wa Kabaka, abalaawe ba Kabaka babiri, Bigusani ne Teresi, ku abo abaakuumanga omulyango, ne banyiigira Kabaka Akaswero, era ne bateesa okumutemula.
22 Mordekai tee atirisopam no, ɔbɔɔ ɔhemmaa Ɛster amaneɛ. Ɔno nso ka kyerɛɛ ɔhene no, na ɔmaa Mordekai amo sɛ ɔbɛkaa asɛm no.
Naye Moluddekaayi n’agwa mu lukwe olwo, n’ategeezaako Eseza Nnabagereka, eyagenda n’abuulira Kabaka nga Moluddekaayi bwe yamutegeeza.
23 Wɔkɔɔ asɛm no mu, hunuu sɛ asɛm a Mordekai bɛkaeɛ no yɛ nokorɛ no, wɔsɛnee mmarima baanu no wɔ dua so. Wɔtwerɛɛ yei nyinaa hyɛɛ ɔhene Ahasweros adedie abakɔsɛm nwoma mu.
Awo ekigambo ekyo bwe baakyekenneenya, ne kirabika nga kituufu, abasajja abo bombi ne bawanikibwa ku kalabba. Awo ebigambo bino byonna ne biwandiikibwa mu kitabo eky’ebyafaayo ebya buli lunaku mu maaso ga Kabaka.
