Eseda 9
1 Yu dunu ilia ha lai dunu da oubi A: ida amola eso13 amoga, Yu dunu huluane medole legemusa: dawa: i. Be amo eso doaga: beba: le, Yu dunu da ilia ha lai dunuma bu gegebeba: le, ili hasali dagoi.
Therefore, on the thirteenth day of the twelfth month, which as we have said before is called Adar, when all the Jews were prepared to be executed and their enemies were greedy for their blood, the situation turned around, and the Jews began to have the upper hand and to vindicate themselves of their adversaries.
2 Yu dunu da ilia sogebi moilai bega: huluane amo ganodini da nowa da ilima doagala: musa: dawa: sea, amo dunuma bu gegemusa: momagei. Dunu huluane da Yu dunuba: le beda: i galu. Ilia da Yu dunuma dabe gegemu hamedei ba: i.
And they gathered together throughout each city, and town, and place, so as to extend their hands against their enemies and their persecutors. And no one dared to resist them, because their great power had pierced all the peoples.
3 Dafawane! Fifi asi gala eagene ouligisu dunu, hina dunu amola hina bagade ea ouligisu dunu huluane da Modigaiba: le beda: i. Amaiba: le, ilia da Yu dunu fawane fidisu.
For even the judges of the provinces, and the rulers, and the procurators, and everyone of dignity, who presided over every place and work, extolled the Jews for fear of Mordecai.
4 Modigai da hina bagade ea ouligisu fi amo ganodini nimi bagade ba: i. Amola ea nimi hou da gado heda: lalu. Amola dunu huluane Besia fifi asi ganodini da ea hou dawa: i dagoi.
For they knew him to be the leader of the palace and to have much power. Likewise, the fame of his name increased daily and flew everywhere through word of mouth.
5 Amaibale, Yu dunu da ilia ha lai dunuma, ilia hanaiga hamosu. Ilia da ilima doagala: le, gobihei sedade amoga ilia ha lai dunu medole lelegei.
And so the Jews struck their enemies like a great plague and killed them, repaying according to what they had prepared to do to them,
6 Moilai bai bagade Susa amo ganodini, Yu dunu ilia da dunu 500 agoane medole legei dagoi.
so much so that even in Susa they executed five hundred men, besides the ten sons of Haman the Agagite, the enemy of the Jews, and their names are these:
7 Dunu ilia medole legei amo ganodini, Ha: ima: ne (Yu dunu ilia ha lai dunu, Ha: meda: ida egefe) amo egefe nabuane galu medole legei ba: i. Ilia dio amo da Basia: nada: ida, Da: lafone, A:saba: ida, Boula: ida, Ada: ilia, Alidada, Bama: seda, A:lisai, Alida: i amola Fadiesada. Be Yu dunu ilia da mi hanane sasamogesu hame hamoi.
Parshandatha, and Dalphon, and Aspatha
and Poratha, and Adalia, and Aridatha,
and Parmashta, and Arisai, and Aridai, and Vaizatha.
When they had slain them, they were unwilling to touch the spoils of their belongings.
11 Amo esoga, hina bagade Segesisi ea ouligisu dunu da dunu Susa amo ganodini medole legei ilia idi, amo ema adole i.
And immediately the number of those who had been killed in Susa was reported to the king.
12 Amalalu, e da hina bagade uda Esedama amane sia: i, “Yu dunu da Susa amo ganodini fawane dunu 500 agoane medole legei. Ilia da fifi asi amo ganodini habodayane medole legebela: ? Di da wali adi lama: bela: ? Di da dia hanai nama adosea, na da amo defele dima imunu.”
He said to the queen, “In the city of Susa, the Jews have executed five hundred men, and also the ten sons of Haman. How many executions do you think that they have carried out in all the provinces? What more do you ask, and what do you wish, so that I may order it to be done?”
13 Eseda da bu adole i, “Hina bagade noga: idafa! Yu dunu Susa amo ganodini ilia wali hamoi defele, aya bu hamoma: ne, di sia: ma. Amola Ha: ima: ne egefe nabuane gala, ilia da: i hodo amo ifa duni bugili fugalegei amoga hegoa: nesima: ne sia: ma.”
And she answered, “If it pleases the king, may power be granted to the Jews, so as to do tomorrow in Susa just as they have done today, and that the ten sons of Haman may be hung up the gallows.”
14 Hina bagade da Eseda ea sia: i defele hamoma: ne sia: i. Ilia da Ha: ima: ne ea mano nabuane ilia da: i hodo, dunu huluane ba: ma: ne, hegoa: nesisi.
And the king instructed that it should be so done. And immediately the edict was hung up in Susa, and the ten sons of Haman were hung up.
15 Eso 14 amola oubi A: ida amoga, Yu dunu Susa ganodini esalebe da bu gilisili, dunu 300 eno medole legei. Be amo esoga amola ilia da mihanane sasamogesu hame hamoi.
On the fourteenth day of the month Adar, the Jews gathered themselves together, and they executed in Susa three hundred men, but they did not seize their belongings from them.
16 Amola Yu dunu fifi asi gala huluane amo ganodini esalu, da momagele, ilia ha lai dunuma bu gegei. Ilia da ilia ha lai dunu 75,000 amo medole legei. Be ilia da mihanane sasamogesu hame hamoi.
Moreover, throughout all the provinces which were subject to the king’s dominion, the Jews made a stand for their lives, and they executed their enemies and their persecutors, so much so that the number of those who were killed amounted to seventy-five thousand, and yet no one touched any of their belongings.
17 Amo hou da eso 13 amola Aba oubi amoga ba: i. Be ayamoga eso 14 amoga, medole legesu hame ba: i. Ilia da hahawane nodone lolo mai.
Now the thirteenth day of the month Adar was the first day with all of the executions, and on the fourteenth day they ceased the killing. This day they established to be sacred, so that in all times hereafter they would be free for feasting, joyfulness, and celebration.
18 Be Yu dunu Susa amo ganodini esala da eso 15, A: ida oubiga helefisu hamoi. Ilia da ilia ha lai amo eso 13 amola eso14 amoga medole legele, eso 15 amoga medole legesu yolesiba: le, helefi.
But, as for those who were carrying out the killings in the city of Susa, they turned to killing on the thirteenth and fourteenth day of the same month. But on the fifteenth day they ceased to attack. And for that reason they established that day as sacred, with feasting and with gladness.
19 Amaiba: le, wali Yu dunu huluane moilale gagai fonobahadi amo ganodini esala, ilia A: ida oubi amola eso 14 amoga hahawane helefisa. Ilia da lolo naha, amola dunu enoma enoma hahawane dogolegele iasu liligi sagosa.
But in truth, those Jews who were staying in unwalled towns and villages, appointed the fourteenth day of the month Adar for celebration and gladness, so as to rejoice on that day and send one another portions of their feasts and their meals.
20 Modigai da sia: beba: le, ilia amo hou hamoi huluane dedene, amola Yu dunu huluane Besia fifi asi gala amo ganodini esala, ilima dedene iasi.
And so Mordecai wrote down all these things and sent them, composed in letters, to the Jews who were staying in all the king’s provinces, as much to those in nearby places as to those far away,
21 Amo meloa dedei da ilia da eso 14 amola eso15A: ida oubiga, ode huluane amoga, helefisu hamoma: ne sia: i.
so that they would accept the fourteenth and fifteenth day of the month Adar for holy days, and always, at the return of the year, would celebrate them with sacred esteem.
22 Bai amo esoga, Yu dunu da ilia ha lai dunu wadela: lesi dagoi. Yu dunu da bagadewane da: i dione, se nabawane esalu. Be A: ida oubiga ilia da: i dioi fisili, hahawane bagade ba: i. Amaiba: le, amo esoga, ilia da hahawane lolo moma: ne, amola dunu enoma enoma ha: i manu sagole moma: ne amola hame gagui dunuma liligi hahawane dogolegele ima: ne, Modigai da sia: i dagoi.
For on those days, the Jews vindicated themselves of their enemies, and their mourning and sorrow were turned into mirth and joy, so that these would be days of feasting and gladness, in which they would send one another portions of their feasts, and would grant gifts to the poor.
23 Amaiba: le, Yu dunu da Modigai ea sia: i defele hamoi dagoi. Amalu fa: no, ilia da amo lolo nasu, ode huluane hahamona ahoana.
And the Jews accepted as a solemn ritual all the things which they had begun to do at that time, which Mordecai had commanded with letters to be done.
24 Ha: ima: ne (Ha: mida: ida egefe, amola A: iga: ge egaga fi. Ha: ima: ne da Yu dunu ilia ha lai), e da eso ilegei ilia da Yu dunu medole legema: ne dawa: musa: , ululuasu (amo ululuasu hedesu ea dio da Biulime). E da Yu dunu huluane medole legele, ebelemusa: dawa: i galu.
For Haman, the son of Hammedatha of Agag lineage, the enemy and adversary of the Jews, had devised evil against them, to kill them and to destroy them. And he had cast Pur, which in our language means the lot.
25 Be Eseda da amo hou hina bagade Segesisima olelebeba: le, hina bagade da Ha: ima: ne ea ilegei hedofamusa: , meloa dedene iasi. Amalalu, Yu dunu hame, be Ha: ima: ne amola egefe huluane da medole legei dagoi ba: i. Ilia da ilia da: i hodo ifa duni bugili fugalegeiga hegoa: nesi dagoi ba: i.
And after this, Esther had entered before the king, begging him that his efforts might be made ineffective by the king’s letters, and that the evil he intended against the Jews might return upon his own head. Finally, both he and his sons were fastened to a cross.
And so, from that time, these days are called Purim, that is, of the lots, because Pur, that is, the lot, was cast into the urn. And all things that had been carried out are contained in the volume of this epistle, that is, of this book.
27 Amaiba: le, ilia da amo helefisu lolo nabe amoma Biulime dio asuli. Bai Modigai ea meloa dedei amola ilima doaga: i hou, amo Yu dunu da dawa: beba: le, ilia da ilila: sema hamoi. Amo sema da ilia, amola iligaga fi, amola nowa dunu da sinidigili Yu dunu hamosu, amo dunu huluane da ode huluane amoga Modigai ea sia: i defele, eso14amola eso 15 A: ida oubiga, hahawane helefili, lolo manu, amane sema hamoi.
And whatever they suffered, and whatever was altered afterwards, the Jews received for themselves and their offspring and for all who were willing to be joined to their religion, so that none would be permitted to transgress the solemnity of these two days, to which the writing testifies, and which certain times require, as the years continually succeed one another.
28 Ilia da sema agoane hamoi. Yu sosogo fi huluane, amola hobea fifi mabe huluane, fifi asi gala huluane moilale gagai huluane amo ganodini esala, ilia da mae yolesili, Biulime lolo nasu hahamona ahoanumu.
These are the days which no one ever will erase into oblivion, and which every province in the whole world, throughout each generation, shall celebrate. Neither is there any city wherein the days of Purim, that is, of lots, may not be observed by the Jews, and by their posterity, which has been obligated to these ceremonies.
29 Amalalu, hina bagade uda Eseda (A: biha: ile idiwi) amola Modigai, ela da musa: meloa dedei amoma gasa ima: ne, Biulime ea hou olelema: ne, meloa eno dedene i.
And Esther the queen, the daughter of Abihail, and Mordecai the Jew, also wrote a second letter, so that with all zealousness this day would be confirmed as customary for future generations.
30 Amo meloa ilia da Yu dunu huluane Besia fifi asi 127 gala, amo ganodini esala, ilima iasi. Meloa dedei da Yu dunu ilia olofole, gaga: iwane esalumu da defea, sia: i.
And they sent to all the Jews, who had been stirred up in the one hundred twenty-seven provinces of king Artaxerxes, that they should have peace and receive truth,
31 Amola ilia da musa: ha: i mae nawane helefisu eso amola da: i dione helefisu eso hamoi, amo defele ilia da Biulime helefisu amo ea eso amola oubi ilegei, amoga hamoma: ne sia: i. Modigai amola hina bagade uda Eseda, da amo hamoma: ne sia: gilisili sia: i.
and observe the days of lots, and celebrate them with joy at their proper time, just as Mordecai and Esther had established. And they accepted these to be observed by themselves and by their offspring: fasting, and crying out, and the days of lots,
32 Eseda ea sia: da Biulime sema dafawane dawa: ma: ne, da meloa bioi amo ganodini dedene legei.
and all things which are contained in the history of this book, which is called Esther.
