Esther 9
1 Ní ọjọ́ kẹtàlá oṣù kejìlá, oṣù Addari, tí ó yẹ kí a mú àṣẹ tí ọba pa wá sí ìmúṣẹ. Ní ọjọ́ yìí ni ọ̀tá àwọn Júù rò pé àwọn yóò borí i wọn, ṣùgbọ́n nísinsin yìí a ti yìí padà, àwọn Júù sì na ọwọ́ agbára tó ga lórí àwọn tí ó kórìíra wọn.
And in the twelfth month — it [is] the month of Adar — on the thirteenth day of it, in which the word of the king, even his law, hath come to be done, in the day that the enemies of the Jews had hoped to rule over them, and it is turned that the Jews rule over those hating them —
2 Àwọn Júù péjọ ní àwọn ìlú u wọn ní gbogbo agbègbè ọba Ahaswerusi láti kọlu àwọn tó ń wá ìparun wọn. Kò sí ẹnikẹ́ni tí ó lè dojúkọ wọ́n, nítorí gbogbo àwọn ènìyàn ìlú tókù ń bẹ̀rù u wọn.
the Jews have been assembled in their cities, in all provinces of the king Ahasuerus, to put forth a hand on those seeking their evil, and no man hath stood in their presence, for their fear hath fallen on all the peoples.
3 Gbogbo àwọn ọlọ́lá ìgbèríko, àwọn alákòóso, àwọn baálẹ̀ àti àwọn onídàájọ́ ọba ran àwọn Júù lọ́wọ́, nítorí wọ́n bẹ̀rù u Mordekai.
And all heads of the provinces, and the lieutenants, and the governors, and those doing the work that the king hath, are lifting up the Jews, for a fear of Mordecai hath fallen upon them;
4 Mordekai sì jẹ́ ẹni pàtàkì ní ààfin ọba, òkìkí rẹ̀ sì tàn jákèjádò àwọn ìgbèríko, ó sì ní agbára kún agbára.
for great [is] Mordecai in the house of the king, and his fame is going into all the provinces, for the man Mordecai is going on and becoming great.
5 Àwọn Júù sì gé gbogbo àwọn ọ̀tá a wọn lulẹ̀ pẹ̀lú idà, wọ́n pa wọ́n, wọ́n sì run wọ́n, wọ́n sì ṣe ohun tí ó wù wọ́n sí àwọn tí ó kórìíra wọn.
And the Jews smite among all their enemies — a smiting of the sword, and slaughter, and destruction — and do with those hating them according to their pleasure,
6 Ní ilé ìṣọ́ ti Susa, àwọn Júù pa ẹ̀ẹ́dẹ́gbẹ̀ta ọkùnrin run.
and in Shushan the palace have the Jews slain and destroyed five hundred men;
7 Wọ́n sì tún pa Parṣandata, Dalfoni, Aspata,
and Parshandatha, and Dalphon, and Aspatha,
8 Porata, Adalia, Aridata,
and Poratha, and Adalia, and Aridatha,
9 Parmaṣta, Arisai, Aridai àti Faisata.
and Parmashta, and Arisai, and Aridai, and Vajezatha,
10 Àwọn ọmọkùnrin mẹ́wẹ̀ẹ̀wá tí wọ́n jẹ́ ọmọ Hamani, ọmọ Hammedata, ọ̀tá àwọn Júù. Ṣùgbọ́n wọn kò fi ọwọ́ wọn lé ìkógun un wọn.
ten sons of Haman son of Hammedatha, adversary of the Jews, they have slain, and on the prey they have not put forth their hand.
11 Ní ọjọ́ náà gan an ni a mú iye àwọn tí a pa ní ilé ìṣọ́ ti Susa wá fún ọba.
On that day hath come the number of the slain in Shushan the palace before the king,
12 Ọba sì sọ fún Esteri ayaba pé, “Àwọn Júù ti pa ẹ̀ẹ́dẹ́gbẹ̀ta ọkùnrin àti àwọn ọmọkùnrin mẹ́wẹ̀ẹ̀wá tí i ṣe ọmọ Hamani ní ilé ìṣọ́ Susa run. Kí ni wọ́n ṣe ní gbogbo ìgbèríko ọba tókù? Báyìí kí ni ẹ̀bẹ̀ rẹ? A ó fi fún ọ. Kí ni ìbéèrè rẹ? A ó sì tún fi fún ọ.”
and the king saith to Esther the queen, 'In Shushan the palace have the Jews slain and destroyed five hundred men, and the ten sons of Haman; in the rest of the provinces of the king what have they done? and what [is] thy petition? and it is given to thee; and what thy request again? and it is done.'
13 Esteri sì dáhùn pé, “Bí ó bá tẹ́ ọba lọ́rùn, fún àwọn Júù tí ó wà ní Susa ní àṣẹ láti ṣe gẹ́gẹ́ bí wọ́n ti ṣe ní òní kí wọn ṣe bákan náà ní ọ̀la, kí a sì so àwọn ọmọkùnrin Hamani mẹ́wẹ̀ẹ̀wá náà rọ̀ sórí igi.”
And Esther saith, 'If to the king [it be] good, let it be given also to-morrow, to the Jews who [are] in Shushan, to do according to the law of to-day; and the ten sons of Haman they hang on the tree.'
14 Nítorí náà ọba pàṣẹ pé kí a ṣe bẹ́ẹ̀. A sì gbé àṣẹ kan jáde ní Susa, wọ́n sì so àwọn ọmọkùnrin mẹ́wẹ̀ẹ̀wá Hamani kọ́.
And the king saith — 'to be done so;' and a law is given in Shushan, and the ten sons of Haman they have hanged.
15 Àwọn Júù tí ó wà ní Susa sì péjọ ní ọjọ́ kẹrìnlá oṣù Addari, wọ́n sì pa ọ̀ọ́dúnrún ọkùnrin ní Susa, ṣùgbọ́n wọn kò fi ọwọ́ wọn lé ìkógun un wọn.
And the Jews who [are] in Shushan are assembled also on the fourteenth day of the month of Adar, and they slay in Shushan three hundred men, and on the prey they have not put forth their hand.
16 Lákokò yìí, àwọn tókù nínú àwọn Júù tí wọ́n wà ní agbègbè ọba náà tún kó ara wọn jọ láti dáàbò bo ara wọn kí wọn sì sinmi lọ́wọ́ àwọn ọ̀tá a wọn. Wọ́n sì pa ẹgbàá mẹ́tàdínlógójì ó lé ẹgbẹ̀rin àwọn tí ó kórìíra wọn ṣùgbọ́n wọn kò fi ọwọ́ wọn lé ìkógun un wọn.
And the rest of the Jews, who [are] in the provinces of the king, have been assembled, even to stand for their life, and to rest from their enemies, and to slay among those hating them five and seventy thousand, and on the prey they have not put forth their hand;
17 Èyí ṣẹlẹ̀ ní ọjọ́ kẹtàlá oṣù Addari, wọ́n sì sinmi ní ọjọ́ kẹrìnlá, wọ́n sì ṣe ọjọ́ náà ní ọjọ́ àsè àti ayọ̀.
on the thirteenth day of the month of Adar, even to rest on the fourteenth of it, and to make it a day of banquet and of joy.
18 Àwọn Júù tí ó wà ní Susa, kó ara wọn jọ ní ọjọ́ kẹtàlá àti ọjọ́ kẹrìnlá, nígbà tí ó sì di ọjọ́ kẹ́ẹ̀dógún wọ́n sinmi wọ́n sì ṣe ọjọ́ náà ní ọjọ́ àsè àti ayọ̀.
And the Jews who [are] in Shushan have been assembled, on the thirteenth day of it, and on the fourteenth of it, even to rest on the fifteenth of it, and to make it a day of banquet and of joy.
19 Nítorí náà ni àwọn Júù tí wọ́n ń gbé ní ìletò ṣe pa ọjọ́ kẹrìnlá oṣù Addari mọ́ gẹ́gẹ́ bí ọjọ́ ayọ̀ àti ọjọ́ àsè, ọjọ́ tí wọ́n ń fún ara wọn ní ẹ̀bùn.
Therefore the Jews of the villages, who are dwelling in cities of the villages, are making the fourteenth day of the month of Adar — joy and banquet, and a good day, and of sending portions one to another.
20 Mordekai ṣe àkọsílẹ̀ àwọn ìṣẹ̀lẹ̀ wọ̀nyí, ó sì kọ ìwé ránṣẹ́ sí gbogbo àwọn Júù jákèjádò àgbáyé ọba Ahaswerusi, tí ó wà ní tòsí àti àwọn tí ó wà ní jìnnà réré,
And Mordecai writeth these things, and sendeth letters unto all the Jews who [are] in all provinces of the king Ahasuerus, who are near and who are far off,
21 láti lè máa ṣe àjọyọ̀ ní ọjọ́ kẹrìnlá àti ọjọ́ kẹ́ẹ̀dógún oṣù Addari ní ọdọọdún.
to establish on them, to be keeping the fourteenth day of the month of Adar, and the fifteenth day of it, in every year and year,
22 gẹ́gẹ́ bí àkókò tí àwọn Júù gba ìsinmi kúrò lọ́wọ́ àwọn ọ̀tá a wọn, àti bí oṣù tí ìbànújẹ́ ẹ wọn yí padà di ayọ̀ àti tí ọjọ́ ọ̀fọ̀ wọn di ọjọ́ àjọyọ̀.

as days on which the Jews have rested from their enemies, and the month that hath been turned to them from sorrow to joy, and from mourning to a good day, to make them days of banquet and of joy, and of sending portions one to another, and gifts to the needy.
23 Bẹ́ẹ̀ ni àwọn Júù gbà láti máa ṣe àjọyọ̀ tí wọ́n ti bẹ̀rẹ̀, wọ́n ń ṣe bí Mordekai ti kọ̀wé sí wọn.
And the Jews have received that which they had begun to do, and that which Mordecai hath written unto them,
24 Nítorí Hamani ọmọ Hammedata, ará Agagi, ọ̀tá gbogbo àwọn Júù, ti gbèrò sí àwọn Júù láti pa wọ́n run, ó sì ti di puri (èyí tí í ṣe ìbò) fún ìsọdahoro àti ìparun wọn.
because Haman son of Hammedatha the Agagite, adversary of all the Jews, had devised concerning the Jews to destroy them, and had caused to fall Pur — that [is] the lot — to crush them and to destroy them;
25 Ṣùgbọ́n nígbà tí Esteri sọ nípa ìṣọ̀tẹ̀ náà fún ọba, ó kọ̀wé àṣẹ kan jáde pé kí ète búburú tí Hamani ti pa sí àwọn Júù kí ó padà sí orí òun fúnra rẹ̀, àti pé kí a gbé òun àti àwọn ọmọkùnrin rẹ̀ kọ́ sórí igi.
and in her coming in before the king, he said with the letter, 'Let his evil device that he devised against the Jews turn back upon his own head,' and they have hanged him and his sons on the tree,
26 (Nítorí náà a pe àwọn ọjọ́ wọ̀nyí ní Purimu, láti ara ọ̀rọ̀ puri). Nítorí ohun gbogbo tí a kọ sínú ìwé yìí àti nítorí ohun tí wọ́n ti rí àti ohun tí ó ti ṣẹlẹ̀ sí wọn,
therefore they have called these days Purim — by the name of the lot — therefore, because of all the words of this letter, and what they have seen concerning this, and what hath come unto them,
27 àwọn Júù fi lélẹ̀, wọ́n sì gbà á gẹ́gẹ́ bí ìlànà fún ara wọn àti fún irú àwọn ọmọ wọn àti gbogbo àwọn tí ó darapọ̀ mọ́ wọn, kò sì ní kúrò, wọn yóò sì máa pa àwọn ọjọ́ méjèèjì yìí mọ́ ní gbogbo ọdún, gẹ́gẹ́ bí a ti kọ ọ́ àti àkókò tí a yàn.
the Jews have established and received upon them, and upon their seed, and upon all those joined unto them, and it doth not pass away, to be keeping these two days according to their writing, and according to their season, in every year and year;
28 A gbọdọ̀ máa ṣe ìrántí àwọn ọjọ́ wọ̀nyí kí a sì máa pa wọ́n mọ́ ní ìrandíran ní gbogbo ìdílé, àti ní gbogbo ìgbèríko àti ní gbogbo ìlú. A gbọdọ̀ máa ṣe àwọn ọjọ́ Purimu wọ̀nyí ní àárín àwọn Júù, bẹ́ẹ̀ ni kò gbọdọ̀ di ohun ìgbàgbé láàrín irú àwọn ọmọ wọn.
and these days are remembered and kept in every generation and generation, family and family, province and province, and city and city, and these days of Purim do not pass away from the midst of the Jews, and their memorial is not ended from their seed.
29 Bẹ́ẹ̀ ni Esteri ayaba, ọmọbìnrin Abihaili, pẹ̀lú Mordekai ará a Júù, kọ̀wé pẹ̀lú àṣẹ láti fi ìdí ìwé kejì nípa Purimu yìí múlẹ̀.
And Esther the queen, daughter of Abihail, writeth, and Mordecai the Jew, with all might, to establish this second letter of Purim,
30 Mordekai sì kọ ìwé ránṣẹ́ sí gbogbo àwọn Júù, sí ìgbèríko mẹ́tàdínláàádóje ní ilẹ̀ ọba Ahaswerusi ní ọ̀rọ̀ àlàáfíà àti òtítọ́.
and he sendeth letters unto all the Jews, unto the seven and twenty and a hundred provinces of the kingdom of Ahasuerus — words of peace and truth —
31 Láti fi ìdí àwọn ọjọ́ ọ Purimu yìí múlẹ̀ ní àkókò tí wọ́n yàn, gẹ́gẹ́ bí Mordekai ará Juda, àti Esteri ayaba ti pa á láṣẹ fún wọn, àti bí wọ́n ṣe fi lélẹ̀ fún ara wọn àti irú àwọn ọmọ wọn ní ìbámu pẹ̀lú àkókò àwẹ̀ àti ẹkún wọn.
to establish these days of Purim, in their seasons, as Mordecai the Jew hath established on them, and Esther the queen, and as they had established on themselves, and on their seed — matters of the fastings, and of their cry.
32 Àṣẹ Esteri sì fi ìdí ìlànà Purimu wọ̀nyí múlẹ̀, a sì kọ ọ́ sínú ìwé àkọsílẹ̀.
And a saying of Esther hath established these matters of Purim, and it is written in the Book.
