Esteri 8:1-17
8 Ekiro ekyo, Omwami Ahasuero mwaha Omughole Esteri y’enyumba ya Hamani enzighu y’Abayahudi; na Mordekayi mwasa embere sy’omwami; kusangwa Esteri abya iniabirimubwira Mordekayi nga niki kiwe.
2 Neryo omwami mwalusya embuka yiwe eyiriko akashe eyo alusaya oko Hamani amahayo Mordekayi. Na Esteri mwayira Mordekayi mo muhanganiri w’enyumba ya Hamani.
3 Kandi Esteri mwakania n’omwami eyindi ngendo. Mwawa oko bisando biwe, amalira n’erimulemba-lemba ati abindule obuhanya obo Hamani Omuagagi akola, kandi akakiraye embita eyo apanga busana n’Abayahudi.
4 Omwami mwasumbira Esteri y’omutso w’obwami ow’ehoro, na Esteri mwahangana am’imana embere sy’omwami.
5 Mwabugha ati: “Kyamatsemesya omwami kandi namabya inabiribana erisimwa omo meso wiwe, n’omwami amalangira ikitolere, kandi amabya iniabirinitsemera, ekihamulo kihandikawe ekikendizima esyobaruha esirimo embita nyibi esyo Hamani omughala wa Hamedata Omuagagi, ahandikisaya busana n’erihwerekererya Abayahudi abali omo syongabiro* syosi sy’omwami.
6 Kusangwa nangatoka niti erisamalira obuhanya obukendihika oko bandu baghe? Kandi nangatoka niti erihanda omutima ekihanda kyaghe kikatoghotibwa?”
7 Neryo Omwami Ahasuero mwabwira Omughole Esteri na Mordekayi Omuyahudi ati: “Mulebaye! Nabiriha enyumba ya Hamani yo Esteri kandi nabiribugha niti Hamani ahanikawe oko muti busana n’embita yiwe nyibi y’erilwa* n’Abayahudi.
8 Neryo lino mwanganahandika omo rina ly’omwami ekyosi-kyosi ekyo mukendilangira ikitolere oko Bayahudi n’erihirako ekibohi omo mbuka y’omwami eyiriko akashe; kusangwa erihamula erihandikire omo rina ry’omwami kandi erihirirweko ekibohi omo mbuka y’omwami eyiriko akashe, siryangabindulwa.”
9 Neryo oko ndambi eyo, abahandiki b’omwami mubabirikirwa omo kiro kye 23 ky’omwisi w’akasatu ni bugha ambu omwisi we Sivani,* nabo mubahandika ebyosi ebyo Mordekayi alayira Abayahudi, esyoseghu-seghu sy’omo butabali, abaguvernere, n’abanyamwami b’esyongabiro* 127 erilua e India erihika e Etiopia, obuli ngabiro omo mihandikire yayo n’obuli kihanda omo mubughe wakyo, n’oko Bayahudi omo mihandikire* yabo n’omo mubughe wabo.
10 Mwahandikayo omo rina ly’omwami Ahasuero n’erihirako ekibohi omo mbuka y’omwami eyiriko akashe. Esyobaruha esyo mwatumasyo omo byala by’abakwenda abakaghenda oko syosabayiri. Mubaghenda oko syosabayiri esikatibita kutsibu, esyakulibawa busana n’omubiiri w’omwami.
11 Omo syobaruha esi, omwami mwaligha Abayahudi ababya omo miyi mbiriri-mbiriri yosi bayihindanaye haghuma erilwira oko buyingo* bwabo n’erihwerekererya, n’eriita, n’eriherya abasuda b’ekihanda kyosi-kyosi kutse engabiro* eyangalwa nabo, erihirako abakali, n’abana, n’erihunga ebindu byabo.
12 Omwatsi oyo abya atolere iniakolwa omo kiro kighuma omo syongabiro* syosi sy’omwami Ahasuero oko kiro kye 13 ky’omwisi we 12, ni bugha ambu omwisi we Adari.*
13 Ekopi y’esyobaruha esyo, yabya itolere iyatumwa omo syongabiro* syosi, eribya kyalayiro. Ebyabya musyo byabya bitolere ibyatulaghanibwa oko bihanda byosi, Abayahudi bayiteghekanaye oko kiro ekyo eriyikisirya oko syonzighu syabo.
14 Abaghombe, ni bugha ambu, abakwenda abakaghenda oko syosabayiri esikatibita esyabya sikakolesibwa omo mubiiri w’obwami, mubaghenda luba kandi mubaghenda bakatibita ngoko omwami alayira. Ekyalayiro eki mukyatulaghanibwa n’omo Shushani* omuyi w’obutabali.*
15 Neryo Mordekayi mwalua embere sy’omwami inianambite esyongyimba sy’obwami esye ble* kandi nyeru-nyeru, inianambite n’embita nene y’ehoro, erikoti eryuwene ery’obweya bw’embuli bw’erangi y’olubono-bono.* N’omuyi we Shushani* mwayisyandira omo butseme.
16 Kusangwa busana n’Abayahudi, habya eriluhuka* n’eritsema, n’eritsanga n’erisikibwa.
17 N’omo syangabiro* syosi n’omo miyi yosi eyahika ekyalayiro ky’omwami n’erihamula riwe, Abayahudi babya bakatsema n’eriyisyandira, ibanemukola esyofete n’eriyitsemesya. Abandu bangyi b’omo bihanda by’ekihugho, mubayahula mo Bayahudi kusangwa babya ibabiribyamo obuba busana n’Abayahudi.
