kama wakati ambao Wayahudi walipata nafuu kutoka kwa adui zao na kama mwezi ambao huzuni yao iligeuzwa kuwa furaha na kuomboleza kwao kuwa siku ya kusherehekea. Aliwaandikia kushika siku hizo kama siku za karamu na za furaha na kupeana zawadi za vyakula wao kwa wao na zawadi kwa maskini.

Esther 9:22 · Berean Standard Bible
as the days on which the Jews gained rest from their enemies and the month in which their sorrow turned to joy and their mourning into a holiday. He wrote that these were to be days of feasting and joy, of sending gifts to one another and to the poor.
Context
20Mordekai aliandika matukio haya, naye akapeleka barua kwa Wayahudi wote walioko katika majimbo ya Mfalme Ahasuero, majimbo yaliyo mbali na karibu, 21akiwataka kila mwaka washerehekee siku ya kumi na nne na ya kumi na tano ya mwezi wa Adari 22kama wakati ambao Wayahudi walipata nafuu kutoka kwa adui zao na kama mwezi ambao huzuni yao iligeuzwa kuwa furaha na kuomboleza kwao kuwa siku ya kusherehekea. Aliwaandikia kushika siku hizo kama siku za karamu na za furaha na kupeana zawadi za vyakula wao kwa wao na zawadi kwa maskini. 23Hivyo Wayahudi walikubali kuendeleza sherehe walizokuwa wamezianza, wakifanya lile Mordekai alilokuwa amewaandikia. 24Kwa maana Hamani mwana wa Hamedatha Mwagagi, adui wa Wayahudi wote, alikuwa amepanga hila dhidi ya Wayahudi ili kuwaangamiza, na alikuwa amepiga puri (yaani kura) kwa ajili ya maangamizi na uharibifu wao.
