Esther 9
1 So on the thirteenth day of the twelfth month, which as we have said above is called Adar, when all the Jews were designed to be massacred, and their enemies were greedy after their blood, the case being altered, the Jews began to have the upper hand, and to revenge themselves of their adversaries.
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.
2 And they gathered themselves together in every city, and town, and place, to lay their hands on their enemies, and their persecutors. And no one durst withstand them, for the fear of their power had gone through every people.
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.
3 And the judges of the provinces, and the governors, and lieutenants, and every one in dignity, that presided over every place and work, extolled the Jews for fear of Mardochai:
Gbogbo àwọn ọlọ́lá ìgbèríko, àwọn alákòóso, àwọn baálẹ̀ àti àwọn onídàájọ́ ọba ran àwọn Júù lọ́wọ́, nítorí wọ́n bẹ̀rù u Mordekai.
4 For they knew him to be prince of the palace, and to have great power: and the fame of his name increased daily, and was spread abroad through all men’s mouths.
Mordekai sì jẹ́ ẹni pàtàkì ní ààfin ọba, òkìkí rẹ̀ sì tàn jákèjádò àwọn ìgbèríko, ó sì ní agbára kún agbára.
5 So the Jews made a great slaughter of their enemies, and killed them, repaying according to what they had prepared to do to them:
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.
6 Insomuch that even in Susan they killed five hundred men, besides the ten sons of Aman the Agagite, the enemy of the Jews: whose names are these:
Ní ilé ìṣọ́ ti Susa, àwọn Júù pa ẹ̀ẹ́dẹ́gbẹ̀ta ọkùnrin run.
7 Pharsandatha, and Delphon, and Esphatha,
Wọ́n sì tún pa Parṣandata, Dalfoni, Aspata,
8 And Phoratha, and Adalia, and Aridatha,
Porata, Adalia, Aridata,
9 And Phermesta, and Arisai, and Aridai, and Jezatha.
Parmaṣta, Arisai, Aridai àti Faisata.
10 And when they had slain them, they would not touch the spoils of their goods.
Àwọn ọmọkùnrin mẹ́wẹ̀ẹ̀wá tí wọ́n jẹ́ ọmọ Hamani, ọmọ Hammedata, ọ̀tá àwọn Júù. Ṣùgbọ́n wọn kò fi ọwọ́ wọn lé ìkógun un wọn.
11 And presently the number of them that were killed in Susan was brought to the king.
Ní ọjọ́ náà gan an ni a mú iye àwọn tí a pa ní ilé ìṣọ́ ti Susa wá fún ọba.
12 And he said to the queen: The Jews have killed five hundred men in the city of Susan, besides the ten sons of Aman: how many dost thou think they have slain in all the provinces? What askest thou more, and what wilt thou have me to command to be done?
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.”
13 And she answered: If it please the king, let it be granted to the Jews, to do tomorrow in Susan as they have done today, and that the ten sons of Aman may be hanged upon gibbets.
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.”
14 And the king commanded that it should be so done. And forthwith the edict was hung up in Susan, and the ten sons of Aman were hanged.
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.
15 And on the fourteenth day of the month Adar the Jews gathered themselves together, and they killed in Susan three hundred men: but they took not their substance.
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.
16 Moreover through all the provinces which were subject to the king’s dominion the Jews stood for their lives, and slew their enemies and persecutors: insomuch that the number of them that were Billed amounted to seventy-five thousand, and no man took any of their goods.
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.
17 Now the thirteenth day of the month Adar was the first day with them all of the slaughter, and on the fourteenth day they left off. Which they ordained to be kept holy day, so that all times hereafter they should celebrate it with feasting, joy, and banquets.
Èyí ṣẹlẹ̀ ní ọjọ́ kẹtàlá oṣù Addari, wọ́n sì sinmi ní ọjọ́ kẹrìnlá, wọ́n sì ṣe ọjọ́ náà ní ọjọ́ àsè àti ayọ̀.
18 But they that were killing in the city of Susan, were employed in the slaughter on the thirteenth and fourteenth day of the same month: and on the fifteenth day they rested. And therefore they appointed that day to be a holy day of feasting and gladness.
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.
19 But those Jews that dwelt in towns not walled and in villages, appointed the fourteenth day of the month Adar for banquets and gladness, so as to rejoice on that day, and send one another portions of their banquets and meats.
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.
20 And Mardochai wrote all these things, and sent them comprised in letters to the Jews that abode in all the king’s provinces, both those that lay near and those afar off,
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,
21 That they should receive the fourteenth and fifteenth day of the month Adar for holy days, and always at the return of the year should celebrate them with solemn honour:
láti lè máa ṣe àjọyọ̀ ní ọjọ́ kẹrìnlá àti ọjọ́ kẹ́ẹ̀dógún oṣù Addari ní ọdọọdún.
22 Because on those days the Jews revenged themselves of their enemies, and their mourning and sorrow were turned into mirth and joy, and that these should be days of feasting and gladness, in which they should send one to another portions of meats; and should give gifts to the poor.
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. Ó kọ ọ́ sí wọn láti máa pa ọjọ́ náà mọ́ gẹ́gẹ́ bí ọjọ́ àsè àti ọjọ́ ayọ̀ kí wọn sì máa fi oúnjẹ fún ara wọn, kí wọn sì máa fi ẹ̀bùn fún àwọn aláìní.
23 And the Jews undertook to observe with solemnity all they had begun to do at that time, which Mardochai by letters had commanded to be done.
Bẹ́ẹ̀ ni àwọn Júù gbà láti máa ṣe àjọyọ̀ tí wọ́n ti bẹ̀rẹ̀, wọ́n ń ṣe bí Mordekai ti kọ̀wé sí wọn.
24 For Aman, the son of Amadathi of the race of Agag, the enemy and adversary of the Jews, had devised evil against them, to kill them and destroy them: and had cast Phur, that is, the lot.
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.
25 And afterwards Esther went in to the king, beseeching him that his endeavours might be made void by the king’s letters: and the evil that he had intended against the Jews, might return upon his own head. And so both he and his sons were hanged upon gibbets.
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.
26 And since that time these days are called Phurim, that is, of lots: because Phur, that is, the lot, was cast into the urn. And all things that were done, are contained in the volume of this epistle, that is, of this book:
(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,
27 And the things that they suffered, and that were afterwards changed, the Jews took upon themselves and their seed, and upon all that had a mind to be joined to their religion, so that it should be lawful for none to pass these days without solemnity: which the writing testifieth, and certain times require, as the years continually succeed one another.
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.
28 These are the days which shall never be forgot: and which all provinces in the whole world shall celebrate throughout all generations: neither is there any city wherein the days of Phurim, that is, of lots, must not be observed by the Jews, and by their posterity, which is bound to these ceremonies.
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.
29 And Esther the queen, the daughter of Abihail, and Mardochai the Jew, wrote also a second epistle, that with all diligence this day should be established a festival for the time to come.
Bẹ́ẹ̀ ni Esteri ayaba, ọmọbìnrin Abihaili, pẹ̀lú Mordekai ará a Júù, kọ̀wé pẹ̀lú àṣẹ láti fi ìdí ìwé kejì nípa Purimu yìí múlẹ̀.
30 And they sent to all the Jews that were in the hundred and twenty-seven provinces of king Assuerus, that they should have peace, and receive truth,
Mordekai sì kọ ìwé ránṣẹ́ sí gbogbo àwọn Júù, sí ìgbèríko mẹ́tàdínláàádóje ní ilẹ̀ ọba Ahaswerusi ní ọ̀rọ̀ àlàáfíà àti òtítọ́.
31 And observe the days of lots, and celebrate them with joy in their proper time: as Mardochai and Esther had appointed, and they undertook them to be observed by themselves and by their seed, fasts, and cries, and the days of lots,
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.
32 And all things which are contained in the history of this book, which is called Esther.
Àṣẹ Esteri sì fi ìdí ìlànà Purimu wọ̀nyí múlẹ̀, a sì kọ ọ́ sínú ìwé àkọsílẹ̀.
