Eseda 8

1 Amo esoga, hina bagade Segesisi da hina bagade uda Esedama, Yu ilia ha lai dunu Ha: ima: ne ea gagui liligi huluane Eseda igili i. Eseda da hina bagade Segesisima amane adoi, “Modigai da na sosogo fi dunu.” Amalalu, Segesisi da Modigai ea odagia sia: ma: ne logo doasi.

On that day king Assuerus gave the house of Aman, the Jews’ enemy, to queen Esther, and Mardochai came in before the king. For Esther had confessed to him that he was her uncle.

2 Hina bagade da ea lobo sogo gasisalasu amo duga: le, (e da amo musa: Ha: ima: nema i, be bu samogei) Modigaima i. Eseda da Modigaima, Ha: ima: ne ea musa: gagui liligi amo ouligima: ne sia: i.

And the king took the ring which he had commanded to be taken again from Aman, and gave it to Mardochai. And Esther set Mardochai over her house.

3 Amalalu, Eseda da hina bagade ema bu adole ba: i. E da ea emo gadenene gala: la sa: ili, dinana ha: giwane amane sia: i, “Hina bagade! Ninia ha lai dunu, Ha: ima: ne (A: iga: ge egaga fi dunu) da Yu dunu fi huluane medole legemusa: ilegei. Be ea wadela: i ilegesu, di hedofama!”

And not content with these things, she fell down at the king’s feet and wept, and speaking to him besought him, that he would give orders that the malice of Aman the Agagite, and his most wicked devices which he had invented against the Jews, should be of no effect.

4 Hina bagade da ea galiamo gouliga hamoi amo ema disiagaiba: le, Eseda da wa: legadole, amane sia: i,

But he, as the manner was, held out the golden sceptre with his hand, which was the sign of clemency: and she arose up and stood before him,

5 “Hina bagade noga: idafa! Di da hanai galea, amola di da nama asigi galea, di da Ha: ima: ne ea wadela: i sia: i ilegei amo hedofama. Ha: ima: ne (Ha: mida: ida egefe amola A: iga: ge egaga fi dunu) e da Yu dunu huluanedafa dia fifi asi ganodini esalebe, amo medole legemusa: sia: i.

And said: If it please the king, and if I have found favour in his sight, and my request be not disagreeable to him, I beseech thee, that the former letters of Aman the traitor and enemy of the Jews, by which he commanded that they should be destroyed in all the king’s provinces, may be reversed by new letters.

6 Ilia da na fi dunu amola na sosogo fi huluane medole legei ba: sea, na da adi hamoma: bela: ?”

For how call I endure the murdering and slaughter of my people?

7 Amalalu, hina bagade Segesisi da hina bagade uda Eseda amola Yu dunu Modigai elama amane sia: i, “Hodoma! Ha: ima: ne da Yu dunu medole legemusa: ilegeiba: le, na da e fuga: ma: ne hegoa: nesi dagoi. Amola ea liligi gagui amo na da Eseda ema i dagoi.

And king Assuerus answered Esther the queen, and Mardochai the Jew: I have given Aman’s house to Esther, and I have commanded him to be hanged on a gibbet, because he durst lay hands on the Jews.

8 Be sia: da Besia hina bagade ea dioba: le sia: i, amola amo sia: dedei da hina bagade ea lobo sosoga gasisalasu amoga bu hamoi, amo sia: afadenemu da hamedei. Be alia hanaiga, Yu dunuma meloa dedene imunu da defea. Ali da na dioba: le dedenanu, na lobo sogoga gasisalasu amoga bu hamoma.”

Write ye therefore to the Jews, as it pleaseth you, in the king’s name, and seal the letters with my ring. For this was the custom, that no man durst gainsay the letters which were sent in the king’s name, and were sealed with his ring.

9 Amo hou da eso 23 amola oubi osoda (Sifane oubi) amoga ba: i. Modigai da hina bagade ea sia: dedesu dunu ema misa: ne sia: si, ili da ea sia: amo eagene ouligisu amola hina dunu fifi asi gala 127 soge amo da Inidia sogega asili Suda: ne amoga doaga: i, ilima iasima: ne, meloa dedema: ne sia: i. Amo sia: da fifi asi gala hihi ilia sia: defele dedene, amola Yu dunu ilia sia: defele dedene ilima iasima: ne sia: i.

Then the king’s scribes and secretaries were called for (now it was the time of the third month which is called Siban) the three and twentieth day of the month, and letters were written, as Mardochai had a mind, to the Jews, and to the governors, and to the deputies, and to the judges, who were rulers over the hundred and twenty-seven provinces, from India even to Ethiopia: to province and province, to people and people, according to their languages and characters, and to the Jews, according as they could read and hear.

10 Modigai da sia: beba: le, ilia da hina bagade Segesisi ea dioba: le dedei, amola Modigai da dedei amoga hina bagade ea lobo sogo gasisalasu amoga bu hamoi. Dunu eno ilia da hina bagade ea hehenasu bagade dawa: hosi, amo da: iya fila heda: le, amo meloa dedei fifi asi gala huluane ilima sagola asi.

And these letters which were sent in the king’s name, were sealed with his ring, and sent by posts: who were to run through all the provinces, to prevent the former letters with new messages.

11 Meloa dedei da hina bagade da Yu dunu moilai huluane ganodini esala, ilia bu gegemu logo doasi dagoi sia: i. Ilia bu gegemusa: , momagema: ne sia: i. Dadi gagui dunu da adi fifi asi gala amo ganodini ilima doagala: sea, ilia da amo dunuma bu gegene, amo dunu, uda amola mano fane lelegele, ilia liligi huluane lamu da defea, meloa da agoane dedei.

And the king gave orders to them, to speak to the Jews in every city, and to command them to gather themselves together, and to stand for their lives, and to kill and destroy all their enemies with their wives and children and all their houses, and to take their spoil.

12 Meloa dedei da amo hou Besia fifi asi gala huluane amo ganodini, eso13amola oubi fago (A: ida oubi) amoga ba: mu. Amo esoga, Ha: ima: ne da musa: Yu dunu huluane fuga: ma: ne sia: i.

And one day of revenge was appointed through all the provinces, to wit, the thirteenth of the twelfth month Adar.

13 Amo meloa dedei ilia da sema gaheabolo hamoi sia: i. Amola Yu dunu ilia gegemusa: noga: le momagema: ne, dunu huluanedafa amo nabimu da defea, ilia sia: i. Amasea, ilia da ilima ha lai bu dabema: ne, logo da doasi dagoi sia: i.

And this was the content of the letter, that it should be notified in all lands and peoples that were subject to the empire of king Assuerus, that the Jews were ready to be revenged of their enemies.

14 Hina bagade da sia: beba: le, dunu da hosi da: iya fila heda: le, amo meloa dedei iasima: ne hehenai. Moilai bai Susa amola, amo ganodini ilia da amo sia: dunu huluane nabima: ne olelei.

So the swift posts went out carrying the messages, and the king’s edict was hung up in Susan.

15 Modigai da abula noga: idafa salalu, amola habuga gouliga hamoi figili, hina bagade ea diasu fisili, gadili asi. Amalalu, Susa moilai bai bagade amo ganodini, dunu ilia nodone bagade haia: fusu.

And Mardochai going forth out of the palace, and from the king’s presence, shone in royal apparel, to wit, of violet and sky colour, wearing a golden crown on his head, and clothed with a cloak of silk and purple. And all the city rejoiced and was glad.

16 Yu dunu da hahawane bagade ba: i. Ilia da beda: i hou fisili, denesi dagoi.

But to the Jews a new light seemed to rise, joy, honour, and dancing.

17 Moilai huluane amola fifi asi gala huluane amo ganodini, ilia da hina bagade ea sia: dedei amo nababeba: le, Yu dunu da hahawane helefisu amola lolo nasu hamoi. Amola dunu eno mogili da Yu dunu ilima beda: iba: le, ilia fidafa fisili, bu Yu dunu fi ilima gilisi.

And in all peoples, cities, and provinces, whithersoever the king’s commandments came, there was wonderful rejoicing, feasts and banquets, and keeping holy day: insomuch that many of other nations and religion, joined themselves to their worship and ceremonies. For a great dread of the name of the Jews had fallen upon all.
