Esther 9
1 And in the twelfth month, that is, the month Adar, on the thirteenth day thereof, when the king's commandment and his decree drew near to be put in execution, in the day that the enemies of the Jews hoped to have power over them (but it was turned to the contrary, that the Jews had power over them that hated them),
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 the Jews gathered themselves together in their cities throughout the provinces of king Ahasuerus, to lay hand on such as sought their hurt. And no man could withstand them; for the fear of them had fallen upon all the peoples.
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 And all the princes of the provinces, and the satraps, and the governors and officers of the king, helped the Jews; for the fear of Mordecai had fallen 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 Mordecai was great in the king's house, and his fame went forth throughout the provinces; for the man Mordecai became continually greater.
Pungal Mordecai fahsrelik nu yen nukewa in tokosrai sac, lah arulana yohk ku lal inkul sin tokosra, ac ku lal yokyokelik na.
5 And the Jews smote all their enemies with the stroke of the sword and slaughter and destruction, and did what they would to those that hated them.
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 Shushan the fortress the Jews slew and destroyed five hundred men.
In Susa, siti fulat sac sifacna, mwet Jew we onela mwet lumfoko.
7 And Parshandatha, and Dalphon, and Aspatha,
Elos unilya Parshandatha, Dalphon, Aspatha,
8 and Poratha, and Adalia, and Aridatha,
Poratha, Adalia, Aridatha,
9 and Parmashta, and Arisai, and Aridai, and Vajezatha,
Parmashta, Arisal, Aridai, ac Vaizatha —
10 the ten sons of Haman the son of Hammedatha, the oppressor of the Jews, they slew; but they laid not their hands on the prey.
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 On that day the number of those that were slain in Shushan the fortress was brought before the king.
Ke len sacna, pisen mwet anwuki in Susa fwackyang nu sel tokosra.
12 And the king said to Esther the queen, The Jews have slain and destroyed five hundred men in Shushan the fortress, and the ten sons of Haman; what have they done in the rest of the king's provinces? And what is thy petition? and it shall be granted thee; and what is thy request further? and it shall be done.
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, If it please the king, let it be granted to the Jews that are in Shushan to do to-morrow also according to this day's decree, and let Haman's ten sons be hanged upon the gallows.
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 the king commanded it so to be done: and the decree was given at Shushan; and they hanged Haman's ten sons.
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 that were in Shushan gathered themselves together on the fourteenth day also of the month Adar, and slew three hundred men at Shushan; but they laid not their hand on the prey.
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 other Jews that were in the king's provinces gathered themselves together, and stood for their life, and had rest from their enemies; and they slew of them that hated them seventy-five thousand (but they laid not their hand on the prey),
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 on the thirteenth day of the month Adar; and on the fourteenth of the same they rested, and made it a day of feasting and joy.
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 But the Jews that were at Shushan gathered themselves together on the thirteenth [day] thereof, and on the fourteenth thereof; and on the fifteenth of the same they rested, and made it a day of feasting and joy.
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 Therefore the Jews of the villages that dwell in the country towns make the fourteenth of the month Adar a day of joy and feasting, and a good day, and on which they send portions one to another.
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 Mordecai wrote these things, and sent letters to all the Jews near and far that were in all the provinces of king Ahasuerus,
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 [this] among them, that they should keep the fourteenth day of the month Adar, and the fifteenth day of the same, yearly,
ac fahkang nu selos in akfulatye len aksingoul akosr ac singoul limekosr in malem Adar, tuh in len lulap lalos in yac nukewa.
22 as the days on which the Jews rested from their enemies, and the month that was turned to them from sorrow to joy, and from mourning into a good day; that they should make them days of feasting and joy, and of sending portions one to another, and gifts 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 undertook to do as they had begun, and as Mordecai had written 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 For Haman the son of Hammedatha the Agagite, the oppressor of all the Jews, had devised against the Jews to destroy them, and had cast Pur, that is, the lot, to consume them and to destroy them;
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 and when [Esther] came before the king, he commanded by letters that his wicked device, which he had devised against the Jews, should return upon his own head; and they hanged him and his sons on the gallows.
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 they called these days Purim after the name of Pur. Therefore, according to all the words of this letter, and for what they had seen concerning this matter and what had 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 the Jews ordained and took upon them, and upon their seed, and upon all such as joined themselves to them, so that it should not fail, that they would observe these two days according to their writing and according to their fixed time, every year;
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 that these days should be remembered and observed throughout every generation, in every family, every province, and every city, and that these days of Purim should not fail from among the Jews, nor the memorial of them cease from among their seed.
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 Abihail, and Mordecai the Jew, wrote with all authority to confirm this second letter of Purim.
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.
30 And he sent letters to all the Jews, to the hundred and twenty-seven provinces of the kingdom of Ahasuerus, words of peace and truth,
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 to confirm these days of Purim in their fixed times, according as Mordecai the Jew and queen Esther had enjoined them, and as they had decreed for themselves and for their seed, as to the matters of the fastings and their cry.
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 the decree of Esther confirmed these matters of Purim; and it was written in the book.
Ma sap lal Esther, ma akkeye oakwuk nu ke Purim, tuh simla in sie book limlim.
