Eryo izooba niryo abazigu b'Abayudaaya baabaire nibagira ngu nibaija kugira obushoboorozi aha Bayudaaya, kwonka kyahinduka, Abayudaaya baaba nibo baabugira aha bazigu baabo.2Batyo Abayudaaya baateeranira omu ndembo zaabo z'omu mashaza g'omugabe Ahasuero goona, kukwata abaabaire nibenda kubakora kubi. Tihariho muntu n'omwe owaabaire naabaasa kubaza omu kaso, ahabw'okuba amahanga goona gakaba gabatiinire.3Kandi abategyeki b'amashaza boona, n'abategyeki b'omugabe n'abandi bategyeki, n'abatware b'omu kikaari ky'omugabe, baaha Abayudaaya emikono, ahabw'okuba nabo bakaba batiinire Morodekai.4Morodekai ogwo akaba ahindukire rugambwa omu ka y'omugabe, kandi okurangaanwa kwe kubugire omu mashaza goona; ahabw'okuba akaguma naayeyongyera kuhama.5Batyo Abayudaaya baitsa abazigu baabo rurara, baabacwekyereza, baabamaraho; abaabaire nibabanga, baabagira nk'oku barikwenda.6Omu rurembo rukuru Shushani Abayudaaya baitamu abashaija magana ataano, baabamaraho;7kandi baita na Parishanidasa, Dalifooni, Asipaasa,8Poraasa, Adalia, Aridasa,9Parimashiita, Arisai, Aridai na Vaizaasa,10boona ikumi beene Hamani mwene Hamedasa, omuzigu w'Abayudaaya; kwonka tibaagira ki baanyaga.11Eryo izooba omubaro gw'abaitwa omu rurembo rukuru Shushani gwagambirwa omugabe.12Omugabe yaagira omwigarire Esteeri ati: Abayudaaya baita abashaija magana ataano omu rurembo Shushani, baabamaraho; baita na beene Hamani ikumi. Mbwenu noogira ngu omu gandi mashaza g'omu bugabe bakozire ebirikwingana ki? Hariho ekindi eki orikushaba, okakiheebwa? Nari hariho ekindi eki orikwenda, ngu kihikiirizibwe?13Esteeri yaamugarukamu ati: Omugabe ku araabe naasiima, aikirize Abayudaaya abari omuri Shushani nyencakare batwaze nk'ekiragiro ky'eri izooba oku kyaba; kandi beene Hamani abo, oku bari ikumi, bahanikwe aha biti.14Atyo omugabe yaaragiira ku kiba kityo; ekiragiro kyabugibwa omuri Shushani, na beene Hamani oku bari ikumi baahanikwa.15Ku bwaseesire aha kiro kya ikumi na bina ky'okwezi Adari, Abayudaaya abaabaire bari omuri Shushani baateeranira hamwe, baita abashaija magana ashatu, kwonka nabwo tibaagira ki baanyaga.16N'abandi Bayudaaya b'omu mashaza g'omugabe baateeranira hamwe, baayerwanaho, baita omu bazigu baabo abantu obukumi mushanju n'enkumi itaano, baahuumura ahabw'abazigu baabo, kandi nabwo tibaagira ki baanyaga.17Okwo nikwo byabaire aha kiro kya ikumi na bishatu ky'okwezi Adari; aha kiro kya ikumi na bina baahuumura, baakigira ekiro kikuru ky'obugyenyi ky'okuriira hamwe n'okushemererwa.18Kwonka Abayudaaya ab'omuri Shushani baateeranira hamwe aha kiro kya ikumi na bishatu n'ekya ikumi na bina eby'okwo kwezi; bwanyima aha kya ikumi na bitaano baahuumura, baakigira ekiro kikuru ky'obugyenyi ky'okuriira hamwe n'okushemererwa.19Nikyo Abayudaaya ab'omu byaro, abatuura omuri tauni ezitaine ngo z'amabaare, baijukira ekiro kya ikumi na bina ky'okwezi Adari, bakakigira eizooba ry'okushemerererwaho n'okuriira hamwe, n'eizooba rirungi ry'okutwekyereraniraho eby'okurya.Ebyo biro okuhinduka ebiro bikuru aha Bayudaaya

N'ahabw'ekyo ahabw'ebyahandiikirwe omuri egyo baruha, n'ebi Abayudaaya bareebire omuri ako kabi, kandi n'ebyabahikireho,27bakaragiira, kandi baaragaana ahabwabo n'ahabwa baijukuru baabo, n'ahabwa boona abaakwataniise nabo, ku batarireka kwijuka ebyo biro bibiri, nk'ekihandiiko kyabyo oku kyabaire kiri, n'obunaku bwabyo obwataireho buri mwaka.28Kandi baragiira ngu, omu miryango yoona, n'omuri buri ishaza, n'omuri buri rurembo bagume baijukye ebyo biro, babigire ebiro bikuru omu busingye bwona, kandi ngu ebyo biro bya Purimu, bitarihugwaho omu Bayudaaya, nari ekiijutsyo kyabyo okweba omu ruzaaro rwabo.29Bwanyima omwigarire Esteeri, muhara wa Abihaili, na Morodekai Omuyudaaya, baahandiika n'obushoboorozi nibahamya egyo baruha ya kabiri eya Purimu.30Ebaruha zaatwekyerwa Abayudaaya boona ab'omu mashaza igana na makumi abiri na mushanju ag'omu bugabe bwa Ahasuero, ezaabaire zirimu ebigambo by'obusingye n'amazima;31ngu zibone kuhamya ebyo biro bikuru bya Purimu omu bunaku obutairweho, nk'oku Morodekai Omuyudaaya n'omwigarire Esteeri baabiragiire Abayudaaya, bakabiragaana ahabwabo n'oruzaaro rwabo, eby'okwesiibyakwo n'amaganya gaabo.32Kityo ekiragiro ky'omwigarire Esteeri kyahamya egyo migyenzo ya Purimu, kyahandiikwa n'omu kitabo.Bible Society of Uganda
