Esther 8
1 On that day king Ahasuerus gave the house of Haman the Jews' enemy to Esther the queen. And Mordecai came before the king, for Esther had told what he was to her.
I A la, haawi ae la ke alii o Ahasuero i ko ka hale o Hamana ka enemi o na Iudaio no Esetera, ke alii wahine. A hele aku o Moredekai imua i ke alo o ke alii, no ka mea, ua hai aku o Esetera i kona wahi i pili ai ia ia.
2 And the king took off his ring, which he had taken from Haman, and gave it to Mordecai. And Esther set Mordecai over the house of Haman.
A wehe ae la ke alii i kona komolima, ka mea ana i lawe ai mai Hamana aku, a haawi iho la oia ia Moradekai. A hoonoho aku la o Esetera ia Moredekai maluna o ka hale o Hamana.
3 And Esther spoke yet again before the king, and fell down at his feet, and besought him with tears to put away the mischief of Haman the Agagite, and his device that he had devised against the Jews.
Olelo hou aku la o Esetera imua i ke alo o ke alii, a moe iho la ilalo ma kona mau wawae, a nonoi aku la ia ia me ka waimaka, e hoopau i ka hewa a Hamana, ke Agaga, a me ka manao ana i manao ku e mai ai i na Iadaio.
4 Then the king held out to Esther the golden scepter. So Esther arose, and stood before the king.
Alaila, o mai la ke alii i ke kookooalii gula no Esetera. Ala ae la o Esetera iluna, a ku aku la imua o ke alii.
5 And she said, If it please the king, and if I have found favor in his sight, and the thing seem right before the king, and I be pleasing in his eyes, let it be written to reverse the letters devised by Haman, the son of Hammedatha the Agagite, which he wrote to destroy the Jews that are in all the king's provinces.
I aku la, Ina i lealea ke alii, a ina i loaa ia'u ke alohaia mai e ia, a ina he mea pono i ko ke alii manao, a ina he maikai au i kona nana ana mai, e kakauia o hoole i na palapala i noonooia e Hamana, ke keiki a Hamadata ke Agaga, na mea ana i palapala aku ai e luku i na Iudaio, ma na aina a pau o ke alii.
6 For how can I endure to see the evil that shall come to my people? Or how can I endure to see the destruction of my kindred?
No ka mea, pehea la e hiki ai ia'u ke hoomanawanui i ka ike ana aku i ka hewa e hiki mai ana maluna o ko'u lahuikanaka? Pehea la hoi e hiki ai ia'u ke hoomanawanui i ka ike ana aku i ka make o ko'u hanauna?
7 Then the king Ahasuerus said to Esther the queen and to Mordecai the Jew, Behold, I have given Esther the house of Haman, and him they have hanged upon the gallows, because he laid his hand upon the Jews.
Alaila, olelo mai la ke alii o Ahasuero ia Esetera, i ke alii wahine, a ia Moredekai, i ka Iudaio, Aia hoi, ua haawi aku au i ka hale o Hamana no Esetera, a na li lakou ia ia maluna o ke olokea, no ka mea, kau no oia i kona lima maluna o na Iudaio.
8 Write ye also to the Jews, as it pleases you, in the king's name, and seal it with the king's ring, for the writing which is written in the king's name, and sealed with the king's ring, may no man reverse.
E palapala olua no na Iudaio, e like me ko olua makemake, a ma ka inoa hoi o ke alii, a e hoailona iho me ke komolima o ke alii; no ka mea, o ka palapala i kakauia ma ka inoa o ke alii, a hoailona i ke komolima o ke alii, aohe mea nana e hoole.
9 Then the king's scribes were called at that time, in the third month Sivan, on the twenty-third day of it. And it was written according to all that Mordecai commanded to the Jews, and to the satraps, and the governors and rulers of the provinces which are from India to Ethiopia, a hundred twenty-seven provinces, to every province according to the writing of it, and to every people after their language, and to the Jews according to their writing, and according to their language.
Ia manawa, i ke kolu o ka malama, oia hoi ka malama o Sivana, i ka iwakaluakumamakolu o ka la, kiina ka poe kakanolelo a ka alii; a e like me na mea a pau a Moredekai i kauoha'i pela no i palapalaia 'ku ai i na Indiaio a me na kiaaina, a me na'lii aimoku, a me na'lii o na aina, mai Inia mai a Aitiopia, hookahi haneri me ka iwakaluakumamahiku aina, i kela aina i keia aina, he like me ka kana palapala iho, i kela lahuikanaka i keia lahuikanaka, ma ka lakou olelo, a i na Indaio, e like me ka lakou palapala ana, a ma ka lakou olelo ponoi.
10 And he wrote the name of king Ahasuerus, and sealed it with the king's ring, and sent letters by post on horseback, riding on swift steeds that were used in the king's service bred of the stud,
A palapala aku no oia ma ka inoa o ke alii o Ahasuero, a hoailona iho la me ke komolima o ke alii, a hoouna oia i ka palapala ma ka lima o ko ke alii mau elele maluna o na lio, na mea holo maluna o na lio mama, a me na hoki maikai a na lio wahine i hanau ai.
11 in which the king granted the Jews that were in every city to gather themselves together, and to stand for their life, to destroy, to kill, and to cause to perish, all the power of the people and province who would assault them, their little ones and women, and to take the spoil of them for a prey,
A haawi mai la ka alii i na Iudaio ma na kulanakauhale a pau, e hoakoakoa pu, e malama i ko lakou oia, e luku, a e pepehi, a e hoolilo i ka make i ka poe koa o na kanaka, a me na mokuna ke hana ino mai ia lakou, i na keiki a me na wahine, a e lawe hoi i ko lakou waiwai, i waiwaipio:
12 upon one day in all the provinces of king Ahasuerus, namely, upon the thirteenth day of the twelfth month, which is the month Adar.
Ma ka la hookahi, Ma na aina a pau o ke alii o Ahasuero, ma ka la umikumamakolu o ka malama umikumalaua, oia hoi ka malama o Adara.
13 A copy of the writing, that the decree should be given out in every province, was published to all the peoples, and that the Jews should be ready against that day to avenge themselves on their enemies.
A hoolahaia i na kanaka a pau, ke kope o ka palapala, i kanawai no na aina a pau, i makaukau na Iudaio e hoopai i ka hewa o ko lakou poe enemi, ke hiki aku ia la.
14 So the posts that rode upon swift steeds that were used in the king's service went out, being hastened and pressed on by the king's commandment, and the decree was given out in Shushan the palace.
Holo aku la na elele, ka poe i holo maluna o na lio mama, a me na hoki maikai, a na hoolalelaleia, a ua hooikaikaia, e ke kauoha a ke alii. A kauia no hoi ia kanawai ma Susana, ma ka pakaua.
15 And Mordecai went forth from the presence of the king in royal apparel of blue and white, and with a great crown of gold, and with a robe of fine linen and purple. And the city of Shushan shouted and was glad.
A hele aku la o Moredekai, mai ke alo aku o ke alii, me ka aahu poni uliuli, a me ke keokeo, a me ka leialii gula nui, a me ka lole hooluelue keokeo, a me ka poni. Olioli iho la ke kulanakauhale o Susana, a hauoli ae la.
16 The Jews had light and gladness, and joy and honor.
He malamalama ko na Iudaio, a me ka hauoli, a me ka olioli, a me ka mahaloia.
17 And in every province, and in every city, wherever the king's commandment and his decree came, the Jews had gladness and joy, a feast and a good day. And many from among the peoples of the land became Jews, for the fear of the Jews was fallen upon them.
A ma na aina a pau, a ma na kulanakauhale a pau, kahi i hiki aku ai ka olelo a ke alii, a me kona kanawai, he hauoli ko na Iudaio, a me ka olioli, he ahaaina, a me ka la maikai. A nui no hoi na kanaka o ka aina i lilo i Iudaio, no ka mea, kau mai ka makau i na ludaio maluna o lakou.
