Esther 9
1 For in the twelfth month, on the thirteenth day of the month which is Adar, the letters written by the king arrived.
Ke sun len aksingoul tolu in malem aksingoul luo, malem Adar, len se ma sap lun tokosra ac fah mau akpwayeyuk, ac mwet lokoalok lun mwet Jew elos finsrak mu elos fah leum faclos, tusruktu tiana ouinge — mwet Jew pa tuh leum fin mwet lokoalok lalos.
2 In that day the adversaries of the Jews perished: for no one resisted, through fear of them.
In acn sin mwet Jew in siti nukewa ke mutunfacl nukewa lal tokosra Ahasuerus, mwet Jew elos tukeni ac akola in mweuni kutena mwet su srike in anwuk nu selos. Mwet yen nukewa sangeng selos, ac wangin mwet ku in kutangulosla.
3 For the chiefs of the satraps, and the princes and the royal scribes, honoured the Jews; for the fear of Mardochaeus lay upon them.
Pa oru mwet fulat nukewa — governor, mwet leum ac mwet tutaf lun tokosra — mwet inge elos sroang kasru mwet Jew ke sripen elos nukewa sangeng sel Mordecai.
4 For the order of the king was in force, that he should be celebrated in all the kingdom.
Pungal Mordecai fahsrelik nu yen nukewa in tokosrai sac, lah arulana yohk ku lal inkul sin tokosra, ac ku lal yokyokelik na.
Ke ma inge mwet Jew elos ku in oru kutena ma elos lungse oru nu sin mwet lokoalok lalos. Elos anwuk nu selos ke cutlass ac onelosla.
6 And in the city Susa the Jews killed five hundred men:
In Susa, siti fulat sac sifacna, mwet Jew we onela mwet lumfoko.
7 both Pharsannes, and Delphon and Phasga,
Elos unilya Parshandatha, Dalphon, Aspatha,
8 and Pharadatha, and Barea, and Sarbaca,
Poratha, Adalia, Aridatha,
9 and Marmasima, and Ruphaeus, and Arsaeus, and Zabuthaeus,
Parmashta, Arisal, Aridai, ac Vaizatha —
10 the ten sons of Aman the son of Amadathes the Bugaean, the enemy of the Jews, and they plundered [their property] on the same day:
mwet inge pa wen singoul natul Haman wen natul Hammedatha, mwet lokoalok lun mwet Jew. Tusruktu mwet uh tiana eisla kutena ma in ma wap lalos.
11 and the number of them that perished in Susa was rendered to the king.
Ke len sacna, pisen mwet anwuki in Susa fwackyang nu sel tokosra.
12 And the king said to Esther, The Jews have slain five hundred men in the city Susa; and how, think you, have they used them in the rest of the country? What then do you yet ask, that it may be [done] for you?
Ke ma inge tokosra el fahk nu sel Kasra Esther, “In siti Susa mukena, mwet Jew elos onela mwet lumfoko, weang wen singoul natul Haman. Na faska in mutunfacl saya ah! Inge, oasr pac ma kom enenu— Ac itukot nu sum. Fahkma lah mea pac kom lungse, ac kom ac fah eis.”
13 And Esther said to the king, let it be granted to the Jews so to treat them tomorrow as to hand the ten sons of Aman.
Esther el topuk ac fahk, “Fin wo ye mutun Tokosra, lela nu sin mwet Jew in Susa tuh ma elos oru misenge in sifilpa orek lutu. Ac sap tuh monin wen singoul natul Haman in sripsripyak ke nien loksak sac.”
14 And he permitted it to be so done; and he gave up to the Jews of the city the bodies of the sons of Aman to hang.
Tokosra el sapkin ma inge in orek, ac sap soko inge sulkakinyukelik in Susa. Monin wen singoul natul Haman sripsripyak ye mutun mwet nukewa.
15 And the Jews assembled in Susa on the fourteenth [day] of Adar, and killed three hundred men, but plundered no property.
Ke len aksingoul akosr in malem Adar, mwet Jew su muta in Susa toeni ac sifilpa uniya mwet tolfoko su muta in siti uh. Tusruktu elos tia eis kutena ma wap.
16 And the rest of the Jews who were in the kingdom assembled, and helped one another, and obtained rest from their enemies: for they destroyed fifteen thousand of them on the thirteenth [day] of Adar, but took no spoil.
Mwet Jew in mutunfacl saya elos tukeni ac sifacna loangelos. Elos suk in sukosokla liki mwet kwaselos, ouinge elos uniya mwet itngoul limekosr tausin mwet lokoalok lalos. Tusruktu elos tia eis kutena ma wap.
17 And they rested on the fourteenth of the same month, and kept it as a day of rest with joy and gladness.
Ma inge elos oru ke len aksingoul tolu in malem Adar. Len se toko ah, len aksingoul akosr, elos mongla ac oru tuh in sie len in engan ac orek kufwa.
18 And the Jews in the city Susa assembled also on the fourteenth [day] and rested; and they kept also the fifteenth with joy and gladness.
Tusruktu mwet Jew in acn Susa, elos oru len aksingoul limekosr in sie len in engan ac orek kufwa, ke sripen elos uniya mwet lokoalok lalos ke len aksingoul tolu ac singoul akosr.
19 On this account then [it is that] the Jews dispersed in every foreign land keep the fourteenth of Adar [as] a holy day with joy, sending portions each to his neighbour.
Pa inge sripa se pwanang mwet Jew su muta in siti srisrik ma tia kulusyukyak ke pot uh elos akfulatye len aksingoul akosr in malem Adar oana sie len lulap nu selos in aengani ac orek kufwa ac akitakati ke mwe mongo.
20 And Mardochaeus wrote these things in a book, and sent them to the Jews, as many as were in the kingdom of Artaxerxes, both them that were near and them that were afar off,
Mordecai el sapkin in simla ma nukewa ma sikyak inge, ac supwalik leta nu sin mwet Jew nukewa su muta yen apkuran ac oayapa yen loessula apneni mutunfacl nukewa in Tokosrai lun Persia,
21 to establish these [as] joyful days, and to keep the fourteenth and fifteenth of Adar;
ac fahkang nu selos in akfulatye len aksingoul akosr ac singoul limekosr in malem Adar, tuh in len lulap lalos in yac nukewa.
22 for on these days the Jews obtained rest from their enemies; and [as to] the month, which was Adar, in which a change was made for them, from mourning to joy, and from sorrow to a good day, to spend the whole of it [in] good days of feasting and gladness, sending portions to their friends, and to the poor.
Pa inge len ma mwet Jew elos tuh aksukosokyalosla liki mwet lokoalok lalos. Pa inge malem se ma moul in keok ac asor lalos tuh ekla nu ke engan ac insewowo. Fwackyang nu selos elos in akfulatye len luo inge ke orek kufwa ac aengani, oayapa elos in sang mwe kite ke mwe mongo nu sin sie sin sie ac nu sin mwet sukasrup.
23 And the Jews consented [to this] accordingly as Mardochaeus wrote to them,
Ke ma inge mwet Jew elos oru oana ma Mordecai el sapkakin nu selos, ac elos mutawauk in akfulatye len inge ke yac nukewa.
24 [showing] how Aman the son of Amadathes the Macedonian fought against them, how he made a decree and cast lots to destroy them utterly;
Haman, wen natul Hammedatha in fwilin tulik natul Agag su kwase mwet Jew nukewa, el tuh orek susfa (pangpang “purim”) in konauk len se ma ac sikiyukla mwet Jew. El tuh nunku in sukelosla nukewa.
25 also how he went in to the king, telling [him] to hang Mardochaeus: but all the calamities he tried to bring upon the Jews came upon himself, and he was hanged, and his children.
Tusruktu ke tokosra el etauk ke pwapa sulallal sac, el supwalik leta in sapkin tuh ma Haman el akoo in oru lain mwet Jew fah folokyang nu sel sifacna, na el, ac wen natul, sripsripyak ke nien loksak sac.
26 Therefore these days were called Phrurae, because of the lots; (for in their language they are called Phrurae; ) because of the words of this letter, and [because of] all they suffered on this account, and all that happened to them.
Pa inge sripa oru pangpang len lulap inge Purim, (kalmeya pa “susfa”). Ke sripen leta lal Mordecai, ac ke sripen ma nukewa ma sikyak nu selos,
27 And [Mardochaeus] established it, and the Jews took upon themselves, and upon their seed, and upon those that were joined to them [to observe it], neither would they on any account behave differently: but these days [were to be] a memorial kept in every generation, and city, and family, and province.
mwet Jew elos orala sie ma sap nu selos sifacna, oayapa nu sin fwilin tulik natulos ac kutena mwet su ac fah wela mwet Jew, tuh len luo inge in akfulatyeyuk ke sun pacl fal la ke yac nukewa, in fal nu ke oakwuk ma Mordecai el oakiya.
28 And these days of the Phrurae, [said they, ]shall be kept for ever, and their memorial shall not fail in any generation.
Akkeyeyukla tuh sou lun mwet Jew in fwil nukewa, ac in mutunfacl nukewa ac siti nukewa, fah esam ac akilen len lun Purim nwe tok.
29 And queen Esther, the daughter of Aminadab, and Mardochaeus the Jew, wrote all that they had done, and the confirmation of the letter of Phrurae.
Na Kasra Esther, acn natul Abihail, el simusla pac leta se weang leta lal Mordecai, ac sang ku nukewa lal in akkeye sramsram ke Purim, oapana ma Mordecai el simusla tari.
Leta sac ma nu sin mwet Jew nukewa, ac supweyukelik nu in mutunfacl siofok longoul itkosr in Tokosrai lun Persia. Leta inge fahkak mwe finsrak nu sin mwet Jew tuh elos in moul in misla ac tia fosrnga,
31 And Mardochaeus and Esther the queen appointed [a fast] for themselves privately, even at that time also having formed their plan against their own health.
ac oayapa oakiya tuh elos, ac fwil natulos, in akfulatye len lun Purim ke pacl fal, oana ke elos oakiya pac akilenyen pacl in lalo ac eoksra. Ma se inge sapkinyuk sel Mordecai ac Kasra Esther.
32 And Esther established it by a command for ever, and it was written for a memorial.
Ma sap lal Esther, ma akkeye oakwuk nu ke Purim, tuh simla in sie book limlim.
