Eseda 4

1 Modigai da amo sia: nababeba: le, bagadewane da: i dioiba: le, ea abula hi gadelai. Amalalu, e da eboboi abula ga: ne, ea dialumaga nasubu ulalu, moilai dogoa amodili bagadewane digini baligili asili,

Now when Mordecai saw what was done, pulling off his robe, he put on haircloth, with dust on his head, and went out into the middle of the town, crying out with a loud and bitter cry.

2 Hina bagade ea diasu logo holei amoga doaga: i. E da ganodini hame golili sa: i. Bai dunu da eboboi abula sanawene ganodini masunu, da sema bagade galu.

And he came even before the king's doorway; for no one might come inside the king's door clothed in haircloth.

3 Amola hina bagade Segesisi ea fifi asi gala amo ganodini, Yu fi dunu da hina bagade ea sia: nababeba: le, bagadewane didigia: lu. Ilia da ha: i mae nawane, dinanawane, eboboi abula gaga: ne, nasubua diasa: i.

And in every part of the kingdom, wherever the king's word and his order came, there was great sorrow among the Jews, and weeping and crying and going without food; and numbers of them were stretched on the earth covered with dust and haircloth.

4 Eseda ea hawa: hamosu a: fini amola gulusu danai hawa: hamosu dunu da Modigai ea hou ema olelebeba: le, e da ema asigiba: le, se bagade nabi. E da Modigai ea eboboi abula gisa: le, eno noga: i ga: ma: ne, abula eno ema iasi. Be Modigai da amo abula higale, hame lai.

And Esther's women and her servants came and gave her word of it. Then great was the grief of the queen: and she sent robes for Mordecai, so that his clothing of haircloth might be taken off; but he would not have them.

5 Amalalu, Eseda da hina bagade ea gulusu danai hawa: hamosu dunu afae (ea dio amo da Ha: ida: ge) ema misa: ne sia: i, e da Modigai hihi amo ea bai adole ba: ma: ne, Modigaima asunasi.

Then Esther sent for Hathach, one of the king's unsexed servants whom he had given her for waiting on her, and she gave him orders to go to Mordecai and see what this was and why it was.

6 Ha: ida: ge da asili, Modigai da moilai gagoi ganodini, hina bagade ea diasu logo holei gadenene esalebe ba: i.

So Hathach went out and saw Mordecai in the open square of the town before the king's doorway.

7 Modigai da ema doaga: i hou huluane Ha: ida: gema olelei. Amola Ha: ima: ne da Yu fi dunu huluane medole legelalu, silifa muni 340,000 gilougala: me defei amo hina bagade ea muni salasu ganodini salimusa: sia: i, amo sia: huluane, Modigai da Ha: ida: gema olelei.

And Mordecai gave him an account of what had taken place, and of the amount of money which Haman had said he would put into the king's store for the destruction of the Jews.

8 E da sia: musa: dedei meloa (Yu dunu medole legema: ne dedei) amowane Susa moilai bai bagadega iasili eno fifi asi gala huluanema sagoi, amo Ha: ida: gema i. E da Ha: ida: gema amane sia: i, “Amo meloa Esedama ia masa. Ema amane sia: ma, ‘Di da hina bagade ema asili, ema e da Yu dunu ilima asigili, ili esaloma: ne, ea ili medoma: ne sia: i amo afadenema: ne sia: ma.’”

And he gave him the copy of the order which had been given out in Shushan for their destruction, ordering him to let Esther see it, and to make it clear to her; and to say to her that she was to go in to the king, requesting his mercy, and making prayer for her people.

9 Ha: ida: ge da Esedama asili, Modigai ea sia: adoi.

And Hathach came back and gave Esther an account of what Mordecai had said.

10 Amola Eseda da Ha: ida: gema, e da Modigai amoma amane adosima: ne sia: i,

Then Esther sent Hathach to say to Mordecai:

11 “Hina bagade da misa: ne hame sia: i dunu o uda amo ema udigili ahoasea, amo dunu o uda ilia da medole legemu. Amo da sema bagade. Dunu huluanedafa da amo sema dawa: Amo bogosu sema amoga hobeamu logo afadafa fawane gala. Hina bagade da ea gouliga hamoi galiamo ema misi dunuma disiagasea, amo dunu ili da hame medole legemu. Be oubi afae amoga, hina bagade da nama misa: ne hame sia: si.”

It is common knowledge among all the king's servants and the people of every part of the kingdom, that if anyone, man or woman, comes to the king in his inner room without being sent for, there is only one law for him, that he is to be put to death; only those to whom the king's rod of gold is stretched out may keep their lives: but I have not been sent for to come before the king these thirty days.

12 Modigai da Eseda ea sia: adosi nababeba: le,

And they said these words to Mordecai.

13 e da ema amane sisane adosi, “Di da hina bagade ea diasu ganodini esalebeba: le, disu da gaga: i dagoi ba: mu, amo maedafa dawa: ma.

Then Mordecai sent this answer back to Esther: Do not have the idea that you in the king's house will be safe from the fate of all the Jews.

14 Di da wali se nabasu esoga ouiya: le esalea, Yu dunu ilima gaga: su hou da sogebi enoga misini, ilia da gaga: i dagoi ba: mu. Be di amola dia eda sosogo fi da bogomu. Be nowa da dawa: bela: ? Di da Yu dunu gaga: ma: ne, hina bagade idua ilegebela: ?”

If at this time you say nothing, then help and salvation will come to the Jews from some other place, but you and your father's family will come to destruction: and who is to say that you have not come to the kingdom even for such a time as this?

15 Amalalu, Eseda da Modigai ema amo sia: adole iasi,

Then Esther sent them back to Mordecai with this answer:

16 “Yu dunu huluane Susa amo ganodini esalebe, gilisima: ne sia: ma. Ilia da eso amola gasi udiana amoga ha: i amola hano mae nawane, ha: giwane Godema sia: ne gadoma: ne sia: ma. Na amola na hawa: hamosu a: fini da amo defele hamomu. Amalalu, na da sema mae dawa: le, hina bagadema masunu. Be na da amo hamobeba: le, bogosea, bogomu fawane. Mae dawa: ma!”

Go, get together all the Jews who are present in Shushan, and go without food for me, taking no food or drink night or day for three days: and I and my women will do the same; and so I will go in to the king, which is against the law: and if death is to be my fate, then let it come.

17 Amo sia: nabalu, Modigai da fisili asili, Eseda ea olelei huluane defele hamoi dagoi.

So Mordecai went away and did everything as Esther had said.
