Esther 8

1 Ní ọjọ́ kan náà ni ọba Ahaswerusi fún Esteri ayaba ní ilé e Hamani, ọ̀tá àwọn Júù. Mordekai sì wá síwájú ọba, nítorí Esteri ti sọ bí ó ṣe jẹ́ sí ọba.

On that day did king Achashverosh give the house of Haman the adversary of the Jews unto Esther the queen: and Mordecai came before the king; for Esther had told what he was unto her.

2 Ọba sì bọ́ òrùka dídán an rẹ̀, èyí tí ó ti gbà lọ́wọ́ Hamani ó sì fi fún Mordekai, Esteri sì yàn án gẹ́gẹ́ bí olórí ilé e Hamani.

And the king took off his signet-ring which he had taken away from Haman, and gave it unto Mordecai: and Esther appointed Mordecai over the house of Haman.

3 Esteri sì tún bẹ ọba lórí ìkúnlẹ̀, pẹ̀lú omijé lójú. Ó bẹ̀ ẹ́ kí ó fi òpin sí ètò búburú Hamani ará Agagi, èyí tí ó ti pète fún àwọn Júù.

And Esther spoke again before the king, and fell down at his feet, and wept, and besought him to do away the evil of Haman the Agagite, and his device which he had devised against the Jews.

4 Nígbà náà ni ọba na ọ̀pá aládé wúrà sí Esteri ó sì dìde, ó dúró níwájú rẹ̀.

And the king held out toward Esther the golden sceptre; and Esther arose, and stood up before the king;

5 Ó wí pé, “Bí ó bá wu ọba, tí ó bá sì bọ̀wọ̀ fún mi pẹ̀lú ojúrere tí ó sì rò pé ohun tí ó dára ni láti ṣe, tí ó bá sì ní inú dídùn pẹ̀lú mi, jẹ́ kí a kọ ìwé àṣẹ láti yí ète tí Hamani ọmọ Hammedata, ará Agagi, tí ó kọ́ pàṣẹ pé kí a pa àwọn Júù tí wọ́n wà ní gbogbo àgbáyé ìjọba ọba run.

And she said, If it be pleasing to the king, and if I have found grace before him, and the thing seem proper before the king, and I be pleasing in his eyes, let it be written to recall the letters, the device of Haman the son of Hammedatha the Agagite, which he hath written to exterminate the Jews who are in all the provinces of the king.

6 Nítorí báwo ni èmi yóò ṣe fi ara dà á tí èmi yóò sì rí kí ibi máa ṣubú lu àwọn ènìyàn mi? Báwo ni èmi yóò ṣe fi ara dà á, tí èmi yóò sì máa wo ìparun àwọn ìdílé mi?”

For how could I endure to look on the evil that is to befall my people? and how could I endure to look on the extermination of my kindred?

7 Ọba Ahaswerusi dá Esteri ayaba àti Mordekai ará a Júù náà lóhùn pé, “Nítorí Hamani kọlu àwọn ará a Júù, èmi ti fi ilé e rẹ̀ fún Esteri, wọ́n sì ti ṣo ó kọ́ sórí igi.

Then said king Achashverosh unto Esther the queen and to Mordecai the Jew, Behold, the house of Haman have I given to Esther, and him have they hanged on the gallows, because he had stretched out his hand against the Jews.

8 Nísinsin yìí, kọ ìwé àṣẹ mìíràn ní orúkọ ọba bí àwọn Júù ṣe jẹ́ pàtàkì sí ọ, kí o sì fi òrùka ọba ṣe èdìdì dì í, nítorí kò sí àkọsílẹ̀ tí a bá ti kọ ní orúkọ ọba tí a sì fi òrùka ọba ṣe èdìdì tí a lè yìí padà.”

But ye write yourselves concerning the Jews, as it may be good in your eyes, in the king's name, and seal it with the king's signet-ring; for a writing which is written in the king's name, and sealed with the king's signet-ring, cannot be recalled.

9 Lẹ́sẹ̀kan náà àwọn akọ̀wé ọba péjọ ní ọjọ́ kẹtàlélógún oṣù kẹta, oṣù Sifani. Wọ́n kọ gbogbo àṣẹ Mordekai sí àwọn Júù, àti sí àwọn alákòóso baálẹ̀ àti àwọn ọlọ́lá ìgbèríko mẹ́tàdínláàádóje tí ó lọ láti India títí ó fi dé Kuṣi. Kí a kọ àṣẹ náà ní ìlànà bí ìgbèríko kọ̀ọ̀kan ṣe ń kọ̀wé àti bí èdè olúkúlùkù àti pẹ̀lú sí àwọn Júù ní ìlànà bí wọ́n ṣe ń kọ̀wé àti èdè e wọn.

Then were called the king's scribes at that time in the third month, that is, the month Sivan, on the three and twentieth day thereof; and it was written all just as Mordecai commanded to the Jews, and to the lieutenants, and the governors and the princes of the provinces who were from India unto Ethiopia, one hundred and twenty-seven provinces, unto every province according to its writing, and unto every people according to its language, and to the Jews according to their writing, and according to their language.

10 Mordekai sì fi àṣẹ ọba Ahaswerusi kọ̀wé, ó sì fi òrùka ọba ṣe èdìdì i rẹ̀, ó rán an lọ ní kíákíá, ó sì rán àwọn ìránṣẹ́ ayaba, tiwọn yára bí àṣà àwọn tí wọ́n ń gun ẹṣin tí ó yára, ní pàtàkì èyí tí a ń bọ́ fún ọba.

And he wrote in the name of king Achashverosh, and sealed it with the king's signet-ring, and he sent letters through means of the swift messengers on horseback, and riders on mules, camels, and young dromedaries:

11 Àṣẹ ọba sì dé ọ̀dọ̀ àwọn Júù ní gbogbo ìlú láti kó ara wọn jọ kí wọn sì dáàbò bo ara wọn; láti pa, láti run àti láti kọlu ogunkógun orílẹ̀-èdè kórílẹ̀ èdè kankan tàbí ìgbèríko tí ó bá fẹ́ kọlù wọ́n, àwọn obìnrin àti àwọn ọmọ wọn; kí ẹ sì kó gbogbo ohun ìní àwọn ọ̀tá wọn.

That the king had granted to the Jews who were in every city to gather themselves together, and to stand forward for their life, to destroy, to slay, and to exterminate all the military strength of the people and province that would assault them, both little ones and women, and to plunder their property as spoil,

12 Ọjọ́ tí a yàn fún àwọn Júù ní gbogbo agbègbè ọba Ahaswerusi láti ṣe nǹkan yìí ni ọjọ́ kẹtàlá èyí tí í ṣe oṣù kejìlá, oṣù Addari.

On one day in all the provinces of king Achashverosh, on the thirteenth day of the twelfth month, which is the month Adar.

13 Ọkàn ìwé àṣẹ náà ni kí a gbé jáde gẹ́gẹ́ bí òfin ní gbogbo ìgbèríko kí ẹ sì jẹ́ kí ó di mí mọ̀ fún gbogbo ènìyàn ìlú nítorí àwọn Júù yóò le è múra ní ọjọ́ náà láti gbẹ̀san fún ara wọn lára àwọn ọ̀tá wọn.

A copy of the writing to be given out as a law in every province, was published unto all nations, and that the Jews should be ready against that day to avenge themselves on their enemies.

14 Bẹ́ẹ̀ ni àwọn ìránṣẹ́ ayaba tiwọn yára bí àṣà tí wọ́n ń gun ẹṣin ọba, sáré jáde, wọ́n sáré lọ nípa àṣẹ ọba. A sì tún gbé àṣẹ náà jáde ní ilé ìṣọ́ ti Susa.

The swift messengers that rode upon mules and camels went out, being hastened and hurried forward with the command of the king: and the law was given out at Shushan the capital.

15 Mordekai sì kúrò níwájú ọba, ó wọ aṣọ aláró àti funfun, ó dé adé e wúrà ńlá pẹ̀lú ìgbànú elése àlùkò dáradára, ìlú Susa sì ṣe àjọyọ̀ ńlá.

And Mordecai went out from the presence of the king in a royal apparel of blue and white, and with a great crown of gold, and with a cloak of fine linen and purple: and the city of Shushan was glad and joyful.

16 Àsìkò ìdùnnú àti ayọ̀, inú dídùn àti ọlá ni ó jẹ́ fún àwọn Júù.

For the Jews there was light, with joy and gladness, and honor.

17 Ní gbogbo ìgbèríko àti ní gbogbo ìlú, ní gbogbo ibi tí àṣẹ ọba dé, ni ayọ̀ àti inú dídùn ti wà láàrín àwọn Júù, wọ́n sì ń ṣe àsè àti àjọyọ̀. Ọ̀pọ̀lọpọ̀ àwọn ìlú tókù sọ ara wọn di Júù nítorí ẹ̀rù àwọn Júù bà wọ́n.

And in every province, and in every city, whithersoever the king's command reached with his law, there were joy and gladness for the Jews, entertainments and a feast-day: and many of the people of the land became Jews; for the dread of the Jews had fallen upon them.
