Esther 8
1 That very day King Xerxes gave Queen Esther the property that had belonged to Haman, the enemy of the Jews. Also, Mordecai came before the king, because Esther had explained who 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 The king removed his signet ring which he had taken back from Haman, and gave it to Mordecai. Esther put Mordecai in charge of Haman's property.
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 Esther went to speak to the king again, falling down at his feet and weeping, pleading with him to do away with the evil scheme of Haman the Agagite that he had thought up to destroy 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 Once again the king held out the golden scepter to Esther. She got up and stood before him.
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 Esther said, “If it please Your Majesty, and if he looks on me favorably, and if the king believes it is the right thing to do, and if he is pleased with me, let an order be issued that revokes the letters sent out by Haman, son of Hammedatha, the Agagite, with his devious scheme to destroy the Jews in all the provinces of the king.
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 bear to see the disaster about to fall on my people? How can I bear to see the destruction of my family?”
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 King Xerxes said to Esther the Queen and Mordecai the Jew, “Notice that I have given Haman's estate to Esther, and he was impaled on a pole because he wanted to kill 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 Now you may write an order regarding the Jews in whatever way you want, in the king's name, and seal it with the king's signet ring. For no decree written in the king's name and sealed with his signet ring can be revoked.”
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 The king's secretaries were summoned, and on the twenty-third day of the third month, the month of Sivan, they wrote a decree of all of Mordecai's orders to the Jews and to the king's chief officers, the governors, and the nobles of the 127 provinces from India to Ethiopia. They wrote to every province in its own script, to every people in their own language, and to the Jews in their own script and 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 He wrote in the name of King Xerxes and sealed it with the king's signet ring. He sent the letters by messenger on horseback, who rode fast thoroughbred horses of the king.
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 The letters from the king authorized the Jews in every city to gather together in self-defense, and to destroy, kill, and annihilate any armed group of a people or province that might attack them, including women and children, and to confiscate their possessions.
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 This was to happen on one day throughout all the provinces of King Xerxes, the thirteenth day of the twelfth month, the month of 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 decree was to be issued as law in every province and publicized to the people so that the Jews would be ready on that day to pay back 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 By order of the king, the messengers riding the king's relay horses rushed out, hurrying on their way. The decree was also issued in the fortress of Susa.
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 Then Mordecai left the king, wearing royal clothes of blue and white, with a large golden crown and a purple robe made of fine linen. The city of Susa shouted with joy.
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 For the Jews it was a bright time of happiness, joy, and respect.
He malamalama ko na Iudaio, a me ka hauoli, a me ka olioli, a me ka mahaloia.
17 In every province and in every city, wherever the king's order and decree had reached, the Jews were joyful and happy—they feasted and celebrated. Many people became Jews, because they had become afraid of 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.
