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,
When Mordecai learned of all that had been done, he tore his clothes and put on sackcloth and ashes. He went out into the middle of the city, and cried out with a loud and a 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.
He went up only as far as the king's gate, because no one was allowed to go through it clothed in sackcloth.
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.
In every province, wherever the king's command and decree reached, there was great mourning among the Jews, with fasting, weeping, and lamenting. Many of them lay in sackcloth and ashes.
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.
When Esther's young women and her servants came and told her, the queen was in great distress. She sent garments to clothe Mordecai (so he could take off his sackcloth), but he would not accept 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 called for Hathak, one of the king's officials who had been assigned to serve her. She ordered him to go to Mordecai to learn what had happened and what it meant.
6 Ha: ida: ge da asili, Modigai da moilai gagoi ganodini, hina bagade ea diasu logo holei gadenene esalebe ba: i.
So Hathak went to Mordecai in the city square in front of the king's gate.
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.
Mordecai reported to him all that had happened to him, and the total amount of the silver that Haman had promised to weigh out and put into the king's treasuries in order to put the Jews to death.
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.’”
He also gave him a copy of the decree that was issued in Susa for the Jews' destruction. He did this so that Hathak could show it to Esther, and that he should give her the responsibility of going to the king to beg for his favor, and to plead with him on behalf of her people.
9 Ha: ida: ge da Esedama asili, Modigai ea sia: adoi.
So Hathak went and told Esther what Mordecai had said.
10 Amola Eseda da Ha: ida: gema, e da Modigai amoma amane adosima: ne sia: i,
Then Esther spoke to Hathak and told him to go back 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.”
She said, “All the king's servants and the people of the king's provinces know that if any man or woman goes to the king inside the inner courtyard without being summoned, there is only one law: That he must be put to death—except for anyone to whom the king holds out the golden scepter so that he may live. I have not been called to come to the king these thirty days.”
12 Modigai da Eseda ea sia: adosi nababeba: le,
So Hathak reported Esther's 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.
Mordecai sent back this message: “You must not think that in the king's palace, you will escape any more than all the other 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 you remain silent at this time, relief and rescue will rise up for the Jews from another place, but you and your father's house will perish. Who knows whether you have come to this royal position for such a time as this?”
15 Amalalu, Eseda da Modigai ema amo sia: adole iasi,
Then Esther sent this message to Mordecai,
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, gather together all the Jews who live in Susa, and fast for me. Do not eat nor drink for three days, night or day. My young girls and I will fast in the same way. Then I will go to the king, even though it is against the law, and if I perish, I perish.”
17 Amo sia: nabalu, Modigai da fisili asili, Eseda ea olelei huluane defele hamoi dagoi.
Mordecai went and did all that Esther told him to do.
