Esther 9
1 On the thirteenth day of the twelfth month, the month of Adar, the king’s command and edict were to be executed. On this day the enemies of the Jews had hoped to overpower them, but their plan was overturned and the Jews overpowered those who hated them.
I KA malama umikumamalua, oia hoi ka malama o Adara, i ka la umikumamakolu, i ka wa kokoke e hookoia'i ka olelo a me ke kanawai o ke alii, i ka la i manao ai na enemi o na Iudaio e lanakila maluna o lakou; ua hoololiia nae, a lanakila na Iudaio maluna o ka poe i inaina mai ia lakou;
2 In each of the provinces of King Xerxes, the Jews assembled in their cities to attack those who sought to harm them. No man could withstand them, because the fear of them had fallen upon all peoples.
Hoakoakoa'e la na Iudaio maloko o ko lakou mau kulanakauhale ma na mokuna a pau o ke alii o Ahasuero, e kau ka lima maluna o na mea i imi e hoopoino ia lakou. Aole kanaka i hiki ke ku imua o lakou, no ka mea, kau ae la ka makau ia lakou maluna o na kanaka a pau.
3 And all the officials of the provinces, the satraps, the governors, and the king’s administrators helped the Jews, because the fear of Mordecai had fallen upon them.
A o na'lii a pau o na aina, a me na kiaaina, a me na'lii aimoku, a me na mea hana i ka hana a ke alii, kokua no lakou i na Iudaio; no ka mea, kau ae la ka makau ia Moredekai maluna o lakou.
4 For Mordecai exercised great power in the palace, and his fame spread throughout the provinces as he became more and more powerful.
No ka mea, ua kiekie o Moredekai maloko o ka hale o ke alii, a kaulana aku la ia ma na aina a pau. No ka mea, o ua kanaka la o Moredekai hoi, nui ka mahuahua ana o kona kiekie.
5 The Jews put all their enemies to the sword, killing and destroying them, and they did as they pleased to those who hated them.
A luku aku la na Iudaio i ko lakou poe enemi a pau, i ka hahau ana o ka pahikaua, a me ka pepehi, a me ka luku aku, a hana aku no hoi i ka poe inaina mai ia lakou mamuli o ko lakou makemake.
6 In the citadel of Susa, the Jews killed and destroyed five hundred men,
A ma Susana, ma ka pakaua, luku aku la na Iudaio me ka pepehi aku, i elima haneri kanaka.
7 including Parshandatha, Dalphon, Aspatha,
A o Paresanedata, a me Dalepona, a me Asepata,
8 Poratha, Adalia, Aridatha,
A o Porata, a me Adalia a me Aridata,
9 Parmashta, Arisai, Aridai, and Vaizatha.
A o Paremaseta, a me Arisai, a me Aridai, a me Vaiezata,
10 They killed these ten sons of Haman son of Hammedatha, the enemy of the Jews, but they did not lay a hand on the plunder.
O na keikikane he umi a Hamana ke keiki a Hamedata, ka enemi o na Iudaio, ka lakou i luku ai; aka, aole i kau lakou i ko lakou mau lima maluna o ka waiwai pio.
11 On that day the number of those killed in the citadel of Susa was reported to the king,
Ia la, laweia mai i ke alii ka heluna o ka poe i lukuia ma Susana, ma ka pakaua.
12 who said to Queen Esther, “In the citadel of Susa the Jews have killed and destroyed five hundred men, including Haman’s ten sons. What have they done in the rest of the royal provinces? Now what is your petition? It will be given to you. And what further do you request? It will be fulfilled.”
I mai la ke alii ia Esetera, i ke alii wahine, Ua pepehi na Iudaio, me ka luku aku i elima haneri kanaka ma Susana ka pakaua nei, a me na keiki he umi a Hamana. Heaha hoi ka lakou i hana'i ma na aina e o ke alii? Heaha kau mea e nonoi mai ai? E haawiia no ia ia oe. Heaha hoi kau kauoha? E hanain no ia.
13 Esther replied, “If it pleases the king, may the Jews in Susa also have tomorrow to carry out today’s edict, and may the bodies of Haman’s ten sons be hanged on the gallows.”
Alaila, i aku la o Esetera, Ina i lealea ke alii, e haawiia mai na na Iudaio ma Susana nei, e hana i ka la apopo, e like me ke kanawai o neia la, a e liia na keiki he umi a Humana ma ke olokea.
14 So the king commanded that this be done. An edict was issued in Susa, and they hanged the ten sons of Haman.
Kauoha ae ke alii e hanaia pela; a ma Susana ke kau ana o ia kanawai; a li iho la lakou i na keiki he umi a Hamana.
15 On the fourteenth day of the month of Adar, the Jews in Susa came together again and put to death three hundred men there, but they did not lay a hand on the plunder.
Hoakoakoa hou ae la na Iudaio ma Susana, i ka la umikumamaha o ka malama o Adara, a luku aku la i na kanaka ma Susana, i ekolu haneri; aka, aole lakou i kau i ko lakou lima ma ka waiwai pio.
16 The rest of the Jews in the royal provinces also assembled to defend themselves and rid themselves of their enemies. They killed 75,000 who hated them, but they did not lay a hand on the plunder.
A o ka poe Iudaio e, ma na mokuna o ke alii, hoakoakoa lakou, a malama hoi i ko lakou ola, a maha lakou i ko lakou poe enemi, a luku ae la no hoi i kanahikukumamalima tausani o ka poe i inaina mai ia lakou. Aka, aole lakou i kau i ko lakou lima ma ka waiwai pio.
17 This was done on the thirteenth day of the month of Adar, and on the fourteenth day they rested, making it a day of feasting and joy.
I ka la umikumamakolu o ka malama o Adara, a i ka la umikumamaha, hoomaha lakou, a hoolilo ia la, i la ahaaina, a i la olioli.
18 The Jews in Susa, however, had assembled on the thirteenth and the fourteenth days of the month. So they rested on the fifteenth day, making it a day of feasting and joy.
Aka, o na Iudaio ma Susana, hoakoakoa lakou ma ka la umikumamakolu o ia malama, a ma ka la umikumamaha; a i ka la umikumamalima hoomaha lakou, a hoolilo ia la i la ahaaina, a i la olioli.
19 This is why the rural Jews, who live in the villages, observe the fourteenth day of the month of Adar as a day of joy and feasting. It is a holiday for sending gifts to one another.
No ia mea, o na Iudaio ma na papu, ka poe i noho maloko o na kulanakauhale paa ole i ka pa, hoolilo lakou i ka la umikumamaha o ka malama o Adara i la olioli, a i la ahaaina, a i la maikai, a i la haawi wale i ka ai i kekahi i kekahi.
20 Mordecai recorded these events and sent letters to all the Jews in all the provinces of King Xerxes, both near and far,
Kakau iho la o Moredekai i keia mau mea, a hoouna ae la i na palapaia i na Iudaio a pau, ma na aina a pau o ke alii, o Ahasuero, ma kahi kokoke, a ma kahi loihi aku,
21 to establish among them an annual celebration on the fourteenth and fifteenth days of the month of Adar
E hoomau iwaena o lakou ka malama ana i ka la umikumamaha o ka malama o Adara, a me ka la umikumamalima, i kela makahiki i keia makahiki,
22 as the days on which the Jews gained rest from their enemies and the month in which their sorrow turned to joy and their mourning into a holiday. He wrote that these were to be days of feasting and joy, of sending gifts to one another and to the poor.
I na la hoi i hoomahaia'i na Iudaio i ko lakou poe enemi, i ka malama hoi i hoololiia no lakou, mai ke kaumaha i ka olioli, a mai ke kanikau ana i ka hauoli, i hoolilo lakou ia mau la i la ahaaina, a i la olioli, a i la haawi wale i ka ai i kekahi i kekahi, a me ka manawalea aku i ka poe ilihune.
23 So the Jews agreed to continue the custom they had started, as Mordecai had written to them.
Hoao na Iudaio e hana e like me ka lakou i hoomaka ai, a e like hoi me ka Moredekai i palapala aka ai ia lakou.
24 For Haman son of Hammedatha, the Agagite, the enemy of all the Jews, had plotted against the Jews to destroy them and had cast the Pur (that is, the lot) to crush and destroy them.
No ka mea, o Hamana, ke keiki a Hamedata ke Agaga, ka enemi o na Iudaio a pau, ua imi hala mea ku e i na Iudaio e make ai lakou, a ua hoolei pura, oia hoi ka hailona, i mea e pepehi ai, a e luku ai hoi ia lakou;
25 But when it came before the king, he commanded by letter that the wicked scheme which Haman had devised against the Jews should come back upon his own head, and that he and his sons should be hanged on the gallows.
A hele aku la o Esetera imua i ke alo o ke alii, kauoha ae la ia ma na palapala, e hoihoiia maluna o kona poo iho ka manao hewa ana i manao ai i na Iudaio, a e liia hoi oia a me kana mau keikikane maluna o ke olokea.
26 Therefore these days are called Purim, from the word Pur. Because of all the instructions in this letter, and because of all they had seen and experienced,
Nolaila lakou i kapa ai ia mau la, o Purima, mamuli o ka inoa o Pura. Nolaila, no na huaolelo a pau iloko o ia palapala, a no na mea a lakou i ike ai o ia mau mea, a no na mea i hiki mai ai maluna o lakou,
27 the Jews bound themselves to establish the custom that they and their descendants and all who join them should not fail to celebrate these two days at the appointed time each and every year, according to their regulation.
Kau no na Iudaio i kanawai, a hoopaa hoi no lakou, a no ka lakou poe keiki, a no ka poe a pau i hai pa me lakou, i mea e haule ole ai, e malama lakou ia mau la elua, e like me ka palapala, a me ka manawa, i kela makahiki, i keia makahiki,
28 These days should be remembered and celebrated by every generation, family, province, and city, so that these days of Purim should not fail to be observed among the Jews, nor should the memory of them fade from their descendants.
I hoomanaoia'i ia mau la, i malamaia hoi i na hanauna a pau, e na ohana a pau ma na aina a pau, a ma na kulanakauhale a pau; i haule ole keia mau la Purima iwaena o na Iudaio, i ole hoi e pau ka hoomanao ana o ka lakou mamo i ua mau la la.
29 So Queen Esther daughter of Abihail, along with Mordecai the Jew, wrote with full authority to confirm this second letter concerning Purim.
Alaila, o Esetera, ke alii wahine, ke kaikamahine a Abihaila, a me Moredekai, ka Iudaio, palapala ikaika aku laua e hoopaa i Keia plapala lua o ka Purima.
30 And Mordecai sent letters with words of peace and truth to all the Jews in the 127 provinces of the kingdom of Xerxes,
A hoouna ae la oia i na palapala, i na Iudaio a pau, i na aina he haneri me ka iwakaluakumamahiku o ke aupuni o Ahasuero, me na olelo aloha, a me ka oiaio,
31 in order to confirm these days of Purim at their appointed time, just as Mordecai the Jew and Queen Esther had established them and had committed themselves and their descendants to the times of fasting and lamentation.
E hoopaa ia mau la Purima, i ko lakou manawa pono e like me ka Moredekai, ka ka Iudaio, a me ka Esetera, ka ke alii wahine i kauoha ai ia lakou, a e like hoi me ka lakou i hooholo ai no lakou iho, a no na keiki me na mamo a lakou, i na mea hoi o ka hookeai ana, a me ka uwe ana.
32 So Esther’s decree confirmed these regulations about Purim, which were written into the record.
Na ke kanawai o Esetera i hoopaa keia mau mea o ka Purima; a kakauia iho la no hoi ia iloko o ka buke.
