以斯帖記 9
1 十二月，「阿達爾」月十三日，是該執行君令和上諭的那一天，也是猶太人的敵人原想殲滅猶太人的日期，卻變成了猶太人制服敵人的日子。
Pea ʻi hono hongofulu mā ua ʻoe māhina, ʻaia ko e māhina ko ʻAtali ʻi hono hongofulu mā tolu ʻoe ʻaho ʻi ai, ʻi he hoko ʻo ofi ʻae fekau mo e tuʻutuʻuni ʻae tuʻi ke fakatonutonu, ʻi he ʻaho ko ia naʻe ʻamanaki ai ʻe he ngaahi fili ʻoe Siu ke nau maʻu ʻae mālohi kiate kinautolu, (ka naʻe liliu kehe ia, koeʻuhi naʻe hoko ʻo pule ʻae kakai Siu kiate kinautolu naʻe fehiʻa kiate kinautolu: )
2 住在薛西斯王各省各城的猶太人，都聚集起來，動手攻打那些想謀害他們的人，但沒有一個人能敵擋他們，因為所有人民都害怕他們。
Naʻe kātoa fakataha ʻakinautolu ʻe he kakai Siu ʻi honau ngaahi kolo ʻi he ngaahi puleʻanga kotoa pē ʻoe tuʻi ko ʻAhasivelo, ke puke ʻakinautolu ʻoku kumi ke fai kovi kiate kinautolu: pea naʻe ʻikai ha tangata naʻe faʻa talia ʻakinautolu: he naʻe tō ʻae manavahē kiate kinautolu ʻi he kakai kotoa pē.
3 各省的首長，御史大臣和省長，以及為君王服務的人，都擁護猶太人，因為害怕摩爾德開。
Pea naʻe tokoni ki he kakai Siu ʻae ngaahi tuʻi ʻoe ngaahi puleʻanga, mo e kau matāpule, mo e kau tokoni, mo e kau matāpule ʻae tuʻi; he naʻe tō kiate kinautolu ʻae manavahē kia Motekiai.
4 的確，摩爾德開在王宮裏已掌大權，聲譽傳遍各省，而摩爾德開的權力越來越大。
He naʻe hoko ʻo lahi ʻa Motekiai ʻi he fale ʻoe tuʻi, pea naʻe ongo atu ki he ngaahi puleʻanga kotoa pē ʻa ʻene ongolelei: he ko e tangata ni ko Motekiai naʻe fakaʻaʻau ai pe ia ke hakeakiʻi.
5 這樣猶太人就用刀屠殺，消滅了一切敵人，任意對待了仇恨他們的人；
Pea naʻe taaʻi pehē pē ʻe he kakai Siu honau ngaahi fili kotoa pē ʻaki ʻae tā ʻoe heletā, mo e tāmateʻi, mo e fakaʻauha, ʻonau fai ʻenau faʻiteliha kiate kinautolu naʻe fehiʻa kiate kinautolu.
6 只在穌撒禁城，猶太人就殺死了五百人，
Pea naʻe tāmateʻi ʻo fakaʻauha ʻe he kakai Siu ʻae kau tangata ʻe toko nimangeau ʻi Susani ko e kolo fakaʻeiki.
7 也殺了帕商大達、達耳豐、阿斯帕達、
[Pea naʻe tāmateʻi ]ʻa Pasanitata, mo Talifoni, mo ʻAsipata.
8 頗辣達、阿黎大達、
Mo Polate, mo ʻAtalia, mo ʻAlitata,
9 帕瑪市達、阿黎賽、阿黎待與耶匝達，
Mo Pamasita, mo ʻAlisai, mo ʻAlitai, mo Vasisata,
10 即哈曼大達的兒子，猶太人的仇人哈曼的十個兒子，但沒有下手搶奪財物。
Ko e foha ʻe hongofulu ʻo Hamani ko e foha ʻo Hamitata, ko e fili ʻoe kakai Siu, naʻa nau tāmateʻi: ka naʻe ʻikai te nau ala honau nima ki he koloa vete.
11 當天，君王就知道了在穌撒禁城內殺死的人數。
Naʻe ʻomi ʻi he ʻaho ko ia ki he ʻao ʻoe tuʻi hono lau ʻokinautolu naʻe tāmateʻi ʻi Susani ko e kolo fakaʻeiki.
12 對艾斯德爾后說：「在穌撒禁城內，猶太人已殺死了五百人和哈曼的十個兒子，在帝國其他各省內，他們更將做出何事﹖如今你還請求什麼，我必賜給你；你還要求什麼，我都必履行。」
Pea naʻe pehē ʻe he tuʻi kia Eseta ko e tuʻi fefine, “Kuo tāmateʻi mo fakaʻauha ʻe he kakai Siu ʻae kau tangata ʻe toko nimangeau ʻi Susani ko e kolo, mo e foha ʻe hongofulu ʻo Hamani; ko e hā kuo nau fai ʻi he ngaahi toenga puleʻanga ʻoe tuʻi? Pea ko eni, ko e hā haʻo kole? Pea ʻe tuku ia kiate koe: pe ko e hā haʻo tala ʻoku toe? Pea ʻe fai ia.”
13 艾斯德爾答說：「如蒙大王賜恩，請恩准住在穌撒的猶太人，明天也照今天的法律行事，把哈曼的十個兒子懸在刑架上。」
Pea pehē ai ʻe Eseta, “Kapau ʻoku lelei ki he tuʻi, tuku ke ngofua ki he kakai Siu ʻaia ʻoku ʻi Susani ke nau fai ʻapongipongi ʻo hangē ko e tuʻutuʻuni ʻoe ʻaho ni, pea tuku ke tautau ʻae foha ʻe hongofulu ʻo Hamani ki he tautauʻanga.”
14 王就下令照辦。於是在穌撒發出了一道諭旨，要把哈曼的十個兒子懸在刑架上。
Pea naʻe fekau ʻe he tuʻi ke fai ia pea naʻe fai ʻae fono ʻi Susani; pea naʻa nau tautau ʻae foha ʻe hongofulu ʻo Hamani.
15 在「阿達爾」月十四日那一天，住在穌撒的猶太人又集合起來，在那裏擊殺了三百人，但沒有下手搶奪財物。
He naʻe fakataha ʻae kakai Siu naʻe ʻi Susani ʻi hono hongofulu mā fā ʻoe ʻaho ʻoe māhina ko ʻAtali, ʻonau tāmateʻi ʻae kau tangata ʻe toko tolungeau ʻi Susani; ka naʻe ʻikai te nau ala ki he vete.
16 住在君王各省的他猶太人，也聚集起來保衛自己，擺脫敵人的侵害，把他們的七萬五千仇人殺死，但沒有下手搶奪財物。
Ka ko e ngaahi Siu niʻihi naʻe ʻi he ngaahi puleʻanga ʻoe tuʻi naʻa nau fakakātoa fakataha ʻakinautolu, ʻonau tuʻu tali tau koeʻuhi ko ʻenau moʻui, pea naʻa nau maʻu ʻae mālōlō mei honau ngaahi fili, pea tāmateʻi ʻi honau ngaahi fili ko e toko fitu mano mo e toko nima afe, ka naʻe ʻikai te nau ala ki he vete,
17 這是「阿達爾」月十三日的事；十四日那天，他們安息，舉行慶功的歡宴。
ʻI hono hongofulu mā tolu ʻoe ʻaho ʻoe [māhina ]ko ʻAtali: pea ʻi hono hongofulu mā fā ʻoe ʻaho ʻoe māhina ko ia naʻa nau mālōlō, ʻonau ngaohi ia ko e ʻaho kātoanga kai mo fakafiefia:
18 住在穌撒的猶太人，因為在十三十四日聚集復仇，便於十五日安息，舉行慶功的歡宴。
Ka ko e kakai Siu naʻe ʻi Susani naʻa nau fakakātoa fakataha ʻakinautolu ʻi hono hongofulu mā tolu, pea ʻi hono hongofulu mā fā, pea ʻi hono hongofulu mā nima naʻa nau mālōlō, ʻo ngaohi ia ko e ʻaho kātoanga kai mo fakafiefia.
19 從此以後，那些住在村莊的猶太鄉民，奉「阿達爾」月十四日為慶日，歡宴慶祝，互送禮物；但居住在城市的猶太人卻以「阿達爾」月十五日為慶日，互送禮物。
Ko ia ko e kakai Siu ʻoe ngaahi potu kakai, ʻaia naʻe nofo ʻi he ngaahi kolo taʻehanoʻā, naʻa nau ngaohi hono hongofulu mā fā ʻoe ʻaho ʻoe māhina, ko ʻAtali, ko e ʻaho fiefia mo kātoanga kai, mo e ʻaho lelei, ke feʻaveʻaki pē ʻae ngaahi ʻinasi kiate kinautolu.
20 摩爾德開於是將這些事記錄下來，並向薛西斯王各省遠近的猶太人頒發文書，
Pea naʻe tohi ʻe Motekiai ʻae ngaahi meʻa ni, ʻo ne fekau ʻae ngaahi tohi ki he kakai Siu kotoa pē naʻe ʻi he ngaahi puleʻanga kotoa pē ʻoe tuʻi ko ʻAhasivelo, ʻae ofi mo e mamaʻo,
21 通告他們應每年慶祝「阿達爾」月十四十五兩天，
Ke fakatuʻumaʻu ʻae meʻa ni ʻiate kinautolu, koeʻuhi ke nau tauhi maʻu hono hongofulu ma fā ʻoe ʻaho ʻoe māhina ko ʻAtali, mo hono hongofulu ma nima ʻoe ʻaho, ʻi he taʻu kotoa pē,
22 因為這兩是猶太人徹底擺脫仇敵的日子，而這一月為他們是化憂為喜，化凶為吉的一月，因此該以歡宴慶祝這兩天，互贈禮物，救濟窮困。
ʻAia ko e ngaahi ʻaho naʻe mālōlō ai ʻae kakai Siu mei honau ngaahi fili, mo e māhina naʻe foki ai ʻae mamahi meiate kinautolu ki he fiefia, pea mei he tangi ki he ʻaho lelei: koeʻuhi ke nau ngaohi ia ko e ongo ʻaho kātoanga kai mo fakafiefia, mo e feʻaveʻaki ʻoe ngaahi meʻa kiate kinautolu, mo e ngaahi meʻa foaki ki he masiva.
23 猶太人便把已開始舉行的和摩爾德開給他們規定的事，奉為永遠當守的盛典。
Pea naʻe alea ʻae kakai Siu ke fai pe ʻo hangē ko ia kuo nau kamata, pea hangē ko ia naʻe tohi ʻe Motekiai kiate kinautolu;
24 原來阿加格人哈默大達的兒子哈曼，那全猶太人的仇人曾蓄意加害猶太人，要將他們滅絕，就抽出「普爾」即籤，來擇定剷除殲滅他們的日子。
Ko e meʻa ʻia Hamani ko e foha ʻo Hamitata, ko e tangata Ekaki, ko e fili ʻoe kakai Siu kotoa pē, ʻaia naʻa ne filioʻi kovi ki he kakai Siu ke fakaʻauha ʻakinautolu, mo ne fai ʻae “Puli,” ʻaia ko e talotalo, ke tāmateʻi ʻakinautolu, mo fakaʻauha ʻakinautolu;
25 但是君王一洞悉此事，便下諭令說：「哈曼加害猶太人想出來的陰謀，應加在他自己頭上! 」就判處他和他的兒子們懸在刑架上。
Ka ʻi he haʻu ʻa Eseta ki he ʻao ʻoe tuʻi, naʻa ne fekau ʻi he ngaahi tohi, koeʻuhi ko ʻene filioʻi angakovi, ʻaia naʻa ne fakatupu ki he kakai Siu, ke foki mai ia ki hono ʻulu ʻoʻona, pea ke tautau ia mo hono ngaahi foha ki he tautauʻanga.
26 從此，人就援用「普爾」一名，稱這兩天為「普凌節。」依照這文書記載的，和他們有關此事親身看見及經歷的一切，
Ko ia naʻa nau ui ai ʻae ʻaho ko ia, ko Pulimi ko e hingoa mei he lea ko Puli. Ko ia ko e meʻa ʻi he ngaahi lea kotoa pē ʻoe tohi ni, pea mo ia naʻa nau mamata ki ai, ʻaia ʻoku kau ki he meʻa ni, pea mo ia naʻe hoko kiate kinautolu,
27 猶太人便給自己，給自己的子孫，給一切加入他們集會的人，規定了「每年該照規定依時慶祝這兩天」為不可更改的法律；
Naʻe tuʻutuʻuni ʻe he kakai Siu, pea fakahoko kiate kinautolu, pea ki honau hako, pea kiate kinautolu naʻe fakahoko ʻakinautolu kiate kinautolu, pea ke ʻoua naʻa ngata, kenau tauhi ʻae ongo ʻaho ni ʻo fakatatau ki heʻena tohi, pea fakatatau ki hono kuonga kuo tuʻutuʻuni ʻi he taʻu kotoa pē:
28 世世代代，家家戶戶，各省各城，應紀念和慶祝這兩天；猶太人決不可廢除這兩天的「普凌節，」他們的子孫也決不可忘掉這慶節。
Pea koeʻuhi ke manatuʻi mo tauhi ʻae ongo ʻaho ni, ʻi he toʻutangata kotoa pē [tuku ]fakaholo, ʻi he faʻahinga kotoa pē, ʻi he puleʻanga kotoa pē, pea ʻi he kolo kotoa pē: pea ko e ongo ʻaho ʻoe Pulimi ke ʻoua naʻa ngata mei he kakai Siu, pea ʻoua naʻa mole ʻae manatu ki ai mei honau hako.
29 阿彼海耳的女兒艾斯德爾后與猶太人摩爾德開，又以全權再度寫了一道核准「普凌節」的文書。
Pea naʻe tohi ai ʻe Eseta ko e tuʻi fefine, ko e ʻofefine ʻo ʻApieli, mo Motekiai ko e Siu, ʻi he mālohi lahi, ke fakatuʻumaʻu hono ua ʻoe tohi ʻo Pulimi.
30 然後把此文書分發給所有住在薛西斯帝國一百二十七省內的猶太人，以平如誠懇的言詞，
Pea naʻa ne fekau ʻae ngaahi tohi mo e ngaahi lea ʻae melino mo e moʻoni, ki he kakai Siu kotoa pē, ki he ngaahi vāhenga fonua ʻe teau mā uofulu mā fitu ʻoe puleʻanga ʻo ʻAhasivelo,
31 勸他們遵照猶太人摩爾德開對這「普凌節」所規定的，依時舉行。至於禁食和哀歌的吟詠等禮，則可依照他們自己及自己的後代所規定的去行。
Ke fakamoʻoni ki he ongo ʻaho ʻoe Pulimi ʻi hona kuonga, ʻo hangē ko e tuʻutuʻuni naʻe fekau ʻe Motekiai ko e Siu mo Eseta ko e tuʻi fefine, pea hangē ko ʻena tuʻutuʻuni moʻo kinaua pea maʻa honau hako, ko e meʻa ʻoe ʻaukai mo ʻenau tangi.
32 從此，艾斯德爾的命令，便成了「普凌節」的規定，並記載於史冊。
Pea ko e fono ʻa Eseta naʻe fakapapau ki he ngaahi meʻa ʻoe Pulimi; pea naʻe tohi ia ʻi he tohi.
