Estere 9
1 Pa mwezi wa 12, mwezi wa Adara pa tsiku la 13 la mwezi womwewo, tsiku limene lamulo loyamba lija la mfumu linayembekezereka kuti litsatidwe, pamene adani a Ayuda anati awononge Ayudawo, zinthu zinasintha. Ayuda ndiwo anawononga adani awo.
Now in the twelfth month, which is the month Adar, on the thirteenth day of the same, when the king’s commandment and his decree drew near to be put in execution, on the day that the enemies of the Jews hoped to have rule over them (whereas it was turned to the contrary, that the Jews had rule over them that hated them),
2 Ayuda anasonkhana mʼmizinda ya zigawo zonse za Mfumu Ahasiwero kuthira nkhondo onse amene anafuna kuwawononga. Palibe amene akanalimbana nawo chifukwa anthu onse a mitundu ina anachita nawo mantha.
the Jews gathered themselves together in their cities throughout all the provinces of the king Ahasuerus, to lay hand on such as sought their hurt: and no man could withstand them; for the fear of them was fallen upon all the peoples.
3 Ndipo akuluakulu onse a zigawo, akalonga, akazembe ndi ogwira ntchito za mfumu anathandiza Ayuda, chifukwa anachita mantha ndi Mordekai.
And all the princes of the provinces, and the satraps, and the governors, and they that did the king’s business, helped the Jews; because the fear of Mordecai was fallen upon them.
4 Pajatu Mordekai anali munthu wamkulu mʼnyumba ya ufumu. Mbiri yake inafalikira zigawo zonse, ndipo mphamvu zake zinakulirakulirabe.
For Mordecai was great in the king’s house, and his fame went forth throughout all the provinces; for the man Mordecai waxed greater and greater.
5 Motero Ayuda anakantha adani awo onse ndi lupanga, kuwapha ndi kuwawononga, ndipo anachita chimene chinawakomera kwa adani awo.
And the Jews smote all their enemies with the stroke of the sword, and with slaughter and destruction, and did what they would unto them that hated them.
6 Ku likulu la mzinda wa Susa, Ayuda anapha ndi kuwononga anthu 500.
And in Shushan the palace the Jews slew and destroyed five hundred men.
7 Ayuda anaphanso Parisandata, Dalifoni, Asipata,
And Parshandatha, and Dalphon, and Aspatha,
8 Porata, Adaliya, Aridata,
and Poratha, and Adalia, and Aridatha,
9 Parimasita, Arisai, Aridai ndi Vaisata,
and Parmashta, and Arisai, and Aridai, and Vaizatha,
10 ana khumi a Hamani, mwana wa Hamedata, mdani wa Ayuda. Koma sanalande katundu wawo.
the ten sons of Haman the son of Hammedatha, the Jews’ enemy, slew they; but on the spoil they laid not their hand.
11 Tsiku lomwelo anawuza mfumu chiwerengero cha anthu amene anaphedwa mu likulu la mzinda wa Susa.
On that day the number of those that were slain in Shushan the palace was brought before the king.
12 Mfumu inati kwa mfumukazi Estere, “Ayuda apha ndi kuwononga anthu 500 ndi ana khumi a Hamani mu likulu la mzinda wa Susa. Nanga ku zigawo zina zonse za mfumu achitako chiyani? Kodi tsopano ukupemphanso chiyani? Chimene ukupempha ndidzakupatsa. Kodi ukufuna chiyani? Chimene ukufuna ndidzakupatsa.”
And the king said unto Esther the queen, The Jews have slain and destroyed five hundred men in Shushan the palace, and the ten sons of Haman; what then have they done in the rest of the king’s provinces! Now what is thy petition? and it shall be granted thee: or what is thy request further? and it shall be done.
13 Estere anayankha kuti, “Ngati chingakukomereni mfumu, apatseni chilolezo Ayuda okhala mu Susa kuti achitenso zimene achita lerozi mawa, potsata lamulo ndipo mulole kuti ana khumi a Hamani aja mitembo yawo ipachikidwe pa mtanda.”
Then said Esther, If it please the king, let it be granted to the Jews that are in Shushan to do to-morrow also according unto this day’s decree, and let Haman’s ten sons be hanged upon the gallows.
14 Choncho mfumu inalamula kuti izi zichitike. Anapereka lamulo mu Susa ndipo mitembo ya ana khumi a Hamani anayipachika pa mtanda.
And the king commanded it so to be done: and a decree was given out in Shushan; and they hanged Haman’s ten sons.
15 Ayuda a mu mzinda wa Susa anasonkhana pamodzi pa tsiku la 14 la mwezi wa Adara ndipo anapha anthu 300 mu Susa, koma sanatenge katundu wawo.
And the Jews that were in Shushan gathered themselves together on the fourteenth day also of the month Adar, and slew three hundred men in Shushan; but on the spoil they laid not their hand.
16 Tsono Ayuda ena onse amene anali mu zigawo za mfumu anasonkhananso kudziteteza ndipo sanasautsidwenso ndi adani popeza anapha anthu 75,000 koma sanalande zofunkha zawo.
And the other Jews that were in the king’s provinces gathered themselves together, and stood for their lives, and had rest from their enemies, and slew of them that hated them seventy and five thousand; but on the spoil they laid not their hand.
17 Zonsezi zinachitika pa tsiku la 13 la mwezi wa Adara ndipo pa tsiku la 14 anapumula ndi kupanga tsikuli kuti likhale la madyerero ndi chikondwerero.
[This was done] on the thirteenth day of the month Adar; and on the fourteenth day of the same they rested, and made it a day of feasting and gladness.
18 Koma Ayuda okhala mu Susa anasonkhana pa tsiku la 13 ndi la 14 ndipo anakonza tsiku la 15 kuti likhale tsiku la madyerero ndi chikondwerero.
But the Jews that were in Shushan assembled together on the thirteenth [day] thereof, and on the fourteenth thereof; and on the fifteenth [day] of the same they rested, and made it a day of feasting and gladness.
19 Ichi ndi chifukwa chake Ayuda a ku midzi, amene amakhala mʼzithando amasunga tsiku la 14 la mwezi wa Adara ngati la madyerero ndi chikondwerero, tsiku lopatsana mphatso.
Therefore do the Jews of the villages, that dwell in the unwalled towns, make the fourteenth day of the month Adar [a day of] gladness and feasting, and a good day, and of sending portions one to another.
20 Mordekai analemba mawu awa mʼmakalata ndipo anawatumiza kwa Ayuda onse okhala mʼzigawo zonse za mfumu Ahasiwero, a pafupi ndi a kutali:
And Mordecai wrote these things, and sent letters unto all the Jews that were in all the provinces of the king Ahasuerus, both nigh and far,
21 Anati chaka chilichonse, Ayudawo azisunga tsiku la 14 ndi 15 la mwezi wa Adara,
to enjoin them that they should keep the fourteenth day of the month Adar, and the fifteenth day of the same, yearly,
22 ngati masiku amene Ayuda anapulumutsidwa kwa adani awo, ndiponso ngati mwezi umene chisoni chawo chinasandulika chimwemwe ndi kulira kwawo kunasandulika chikondwerero. Anawalembera kuti azisunga masikuwa ngati masiku a madyerero ndi chikondwerero, masiku opatsana mphatso zachakudya kwa wina ndi mnzake komanso opereka mphatso kwa osauka.
as the days wherein the Jews had rest from their enemies, and the month which was turned unto them from sorrow to gladness, and from mourning into a good day; that they should make them days of feasting and gladness, and of sending portions one to another, and gifts to the poor.
23 Choncho Ayuda anavomereza kusunga masikuwa ngati a chikondwerero monga analembera Mordekai.
And the Jews undertook to do as they had begun, and as Mordecai had written unto them;
24 Hamani mwana wa Hamedata, Mwagagi, mdani wa Ayuda onse, anakonza chiwembu chakupha ndi kuwononga Ayuda ndipo anachita maere otchedwa Purimu kuti awaphe ndi kuwawononga.
because Haman the son of Hammedatha, the Agagite, the enemy of all the Jews, had plotted against the Jews to destroy them, and had cast Pur, that is the lot, to consume them, and to destroy them;
25 Koma mfumu itazindikira za chiwembuchi, inalamula kuti zilembedwe mʼmakalata kuti chiwembu chimene Hamani anakonzera Ayuda chigwere pa iye mwini, ndi kuti iye pamodzi ndi ana ake apachikidwe pa mtanda.
but when [the matter] came before the king, he commanded by letters that his wicked device, which he had devised against the Jews, should return upon his own head, and that he and his sons should be hanged on the gallows.
26 Ndi chifukwa chake masiku amenewa amatchedwa masiku a Purimu potsata dzina lakuti Purimu. Chifukwa cha kalata ya Mordekai ndiponso chifukwa cha zimene anaziona ndi kuwachitikira,
Wherefore they called these days Purim, after the name of Pur. Therefore because of all the words of this letter, and of that which they had seen concerning this matter, and that which had come unto them,
27 Ayuda onse anagwirizana kukhazikitsa lamulo lokhudza iwo, zidzukulu zawo ndi onse amene adzapanga nawo ubale kuti asalephere kusunga masiku awiri amenewa chaka chilichonse monga zinalembedweramo ndiponso potsata nthawi imene anayika.
the Jews ordained, and took upon them, and upon their seed, and upon all such as joined themselves unto them, so that it should not fail, that they would keep these two days according to the writing thereof, and according to the appointed time thereof, every year;
28 Azisunga ndi kukumbukira masiku amenewa mu mʼbado uliwonse ndi banja lililonse, mʼchigawo chilichonse ndi mu mzinda uliwonse. Ndipo Ayuda asadzasiye kukondwerera masiku a Purimuwa ndiponso zidzukulu zawo zisadzaleke kuwakumbukira.
and that these days should be remembered and kept throughout every generation, every family, every province, and every city; and that these days of Purim should not fail from among the Jews, nor the remembrance of them perish from their seed.
29 Choncho mfumukazi Estere, mwana wa mkazi wa Abihaili, pamodzi ndi Mordekai Myuda analemba ndi ulamuliro onse kutsimikizira kalata iyi yachiwiri yokhudza Purimu.
Then Esther the queen, the daughter of Abihail, and Mordecai the Jew, wrote with all authority to confirm this second letter of Purim.
30 Ndipo Mordekai anatumiza makalata kwa Ayuda onse ku zigawo 127 za ufumu wa Ahasiwero. Kalatayi inali ya mawu a mtendere ndiponso a kukhulupirika
And he sent letters unto all the Jews, to the hundred twenty and seven provinces of the kingdom of Ahasuerus, [with] words of peace and truth,
31 kuti azisunga masiku a Purimu pa nyengo imene inavomerezeka monga mmene Mordekai Myuda ndi mfumukazi Estere anawalamulira ndiponso monga anadziyikira eni okha ndi zidzukulu zawo zonena za nthawi zawo za kusala zakudya ndi kulira.
to confirm these days of Purim in their appointed times, according as Mordecai the Jew and Esther the queen had enjoined them, and as they had ordained for themselves and for their seed, in the matter of the fastings and their cry.
32 Lamulo la Estere linakhazikitsa mwambo wa Purimuwu ndipo zinalembedwa mʼmabuku.
And the commandment of Esther confirmed these matters of Purim; and it was written in the book.
