< Esther 4 >

1 When Mordecai learned of all that had happened, he tore his clothes, put on sackcloth and ashes, and went out into the middle of the city, wailing loudly and bitterly.
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,
2 But he went only as far as the king’s gate, because the law prohibited anyone wearing sackcloth from entering that gate.
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.
3 In every province to which the king’s command and edict came, there was great mourning among the Jews. They fasted, wept, and lamented, and many lay in sackcloth and ashes.
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.
4 When Esther’s maidens and eunuchs came and told her about Mordecai, the queen was overcome with distress. She sent clothes for Mordecai to wear instead of his sackcloth, but he would not accept them.
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.
5 Then Esther summoned Hathach, one of the king’s eunuchs appointed to her, and she dispatched him to Mordecai to learn what was troubling him and why.
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.
6 So Hathach went out to Mordecai in the city square in front of the king’s gate,
Ha: ida: ge da asili, Modigai da moilai gagoi ganodini, hina bagade ea diasu logo holei gadenene esalebe ba: i.
7 and Mordecai told him all that had happened to him, including the exact amount of money that Haman had promised to pay into the royal treasury in order to destroy the Jews.
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.
8 Mordecai also gave Hathach a copy of the written decree issued in Susa for the destruction of the Jews, to show and explain to Esther, urging her to approach the king, implore his favor, and plead before him for her people.
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.’”
9 So Hathach went back and relayed Mordecai’s response to Esther.
Ha: ida: ge da Esedama asili, Modigai ea sia: adoi.
10 Then Esther spoke to Hathach and instructed him to tell Mordecai,
Amola Eseda da Ha: ida: gema, e da Modigai amoma amane adosima: ne sia: i,
11 “All the royal officials and the people of the king’s provinces know that one law applies to every man or woman who approaches the king in the inner court without being summoned—that he be put to death. Only if the king extends the gold scepter may that person live. But I have not been summoned to appear before the king for the past thirty days.”
“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.”
12 When Esther’s words were relayed to Mordecai,
Modigai da Eseda ea sia: adosi nababeba: le,
13 he sent back to her this reply: “Do not imagine that because you are in the king’s palace you alone will escape the fate of all the Jews.
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.
14 For if you remain silent at this time, relief and deliverance for the Jews will arise from another place, but you and your father’s house will perish. And who knows if perhaps you have come to the kingdom for such a time as this?”
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: ?”
15 Then Esther sent this reply to Mordecai:
Amalalu, Eseda da Modigai ema amo sia: adole iasi,
16 “Go and assemble all the Jews who can be found in Susa, and fast for me. Do not eat or drink for three days, night or day, and I and my maidens will fast as you do. After that, I will go to the king, even though it is against the law. And if I perish, I perish!”
“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!”
17 So Mordecai went and did all that Esther had instructed him.
Amo sia: nabalu, Modigai da fisili asili, Eseda ea olelei huluane defele hamoi dagoi.
