< Esther 4 >
1 Now when Mordecai perceiued all that was done, Mordecai rent his clothes, and put on sackecloth and ashes, and went out into the middes of the citie, and cryed with a great crye, and a bitter.
A IKE ae la o Moredekai i na mea a pau i hanaia'i, alaila, haehae iho la ia i kona aahu. a komo ia i ke kapa inoino, a me ka lehu, a puka aku la iwaho iwaena o ke kulanakauhale, a uwe iho la, he uwe nui ehaeha loa.
2 And he came euen before the Kings gate, but he might not enter within the Kings gate, being clothed with sackecloth.
A hele oia imua o ka pukapa o ke alii; no ka mea, aole e komo iloko o ka pukapa o ke alii ka mea i aahuia i ke kapa inoino.
3 And in euery prouince, and place, whither the Kings charge and his commission came, there was great sorowe among the Iewes, and fasting, and weeping and mourning, and many laye in sackecloth and in ashes.
A ma na aina a pau kahi i laha aku ai ka olelo a ke alii, a me kona kanawai, nui loa iho la ke kanikau ana o na Iudaio, a me ka hookeai ana, a me ka uwe ana, a me ke kumakena ana; a nui iho la ka poe i moe me ke kapa inoino, a me ka lehu.
4 Then Esters maydes and her eunuches came and tolde it her: therefore the Queene was very heauie, and she sent raiment to clothe Mordecai, and to take away his sackecloth from him, but he receiued it not.
A hele aku la na wahine a me na luna o Esetera, a hai aku la ia ia. Alaila, ehaeha loa ke alii wahine, a hoouna ae la ia i ka aahu e hoaahu ai ia Moredekai, a e lawe aku hoi i kona kapa inoino. Aole nae ia i lawe ia mea.
5 Then called Ester Hatach one of the Kings eunuches, whom he had appointed to serue her, and gaue him a commandement vnto Mordecai, to knowe what it was, and why it was.
Alaila, hea ae la o Esetera ia Hataka, i kekahi luna o ke alii, ana i hoonoho ai ma ko ia la alo, a kauoha ae la ia ia no Moredekai, i ike oia ia mea, a me ke kumu o ia mea.
6 So Hatach went foorth to Mordecai vnto the streete of the citie, which was before the Kings gate.
Alaila, hele aku la o Hataka ia Moredekai, ma ke alanui o ke kulanakauhale, ma ke alo o ka pukapa o ke alii.
7 And Mordecai tolde him of all that which had come vnto him, and of the summe of the siluer that Haman had promised to pay vnto the Kings treasures, because of the Iewes, for to destroy them.
Hai mai la o Moredekai i na mea a pau i loohia mai ai oia, a me ke kala a Hamana i olelo ai e haawi maloko o na waihonakala o ke alii, no na Iudaio, e luku ai ia lakou.
8 Also he gaue him the copy of the writing and commission that was giuen at Shushan, to destroy them, that he might shewe it vnto Ester and declare it vnto her, and to charge her that she should goe in to the King, and make petition and supplication before him for her people.
A haawi no hoi ia ia i ke kope o ka palapala o ke kanawai i kauia ma Susana, e luku ia lakou, e hoike aku ai ia Esetera, a e hai aku ia ia, a e kauoha aku ia ia e hele aku iloko i ke alii e olelo aku ia ia, a e noi aku no kona poe kanaka.
9 So when Hatach came, he told Ester the wordes of Mordecai.
Hoi mai la o Hataka, a hai ae la ia Esetera i na olelo a Moredekai.
10 Then Ester sayde vnto Hatach, and commanded him to say vnto Mordecai,
Olelo hou ae la o Esetera ia Hataka, a ma o na la oia i kauoha'i ia Moredekai;
11 All the Kings seruants and the people of the Kings prouinces doe knowe, that whosoeuer, man or woman, that commeth to the King into the inner court, which is not called, there is a law of his, that he shall dye, except him to whom the King holdeth out the golden rodde, that he may liue. Now I haue not bene called to come vnto the King these thirtie dayes.
Ua ike no na kanaka a pau o ke alii, a me na lahuikanaka o na aina o ke alii, o ka mea hele i ke alii la, ma ka pahale oloko, o ke kane a me ka wahine, me ke kii ole ia mai, hookahi kanawai nona, e make ia, ke o ole mai ke alii i ke kookooalii gula ia ia, i mea e ola'i. Aole hoi au i kiina mai e hele i ke alii la, i keia mau la he kanakolu.
12 And they certified Mordecai of Esters wordes.
Hai mai la lakou ia Moredekai i na olelo a Esetera.
13 And Mordecai saide, that they should answere Ester thus, Thinke not with thy selfe that thou shalt escape in the Kings house, more then all the Iewes.
Alaila, kauoha ae la o Moredekai, e olelo aku ia Esetera, Mai manao oe iloko o kou naau, e pakele oe iloko o ka hale o ke alii, a e ole na Iudaio e a pau.
14 For if thou holdest thy peace at this time, comfort and deliuerance shall appeare to the Iewes out of another place, but thou and thy fathers house shall perish: and who knoweth whether thou art come to the kingdome for such a time?
No ka mea, ina e hamau oe i kau olelo i keia manawa, alaila, loaa no i na Iudaio ka hoakeaia, a me ke ola, mai kahi e mai; a e make no oe, a me ko ka hale o kou makuakane. Malia paha o kou mea ia i hiki ai i ke aupuni no ka manawa e like me neia?
15 Then Ester commanded to answere Mordecai,
Alaila, kauoha ae la o Esetera, e olelo aku lakou ia Moredekai.
16 Goe, and assemble all the Iewes that are found in Shushan, and fast ye for me, and eate not, nor drinke in three dayes, day nor night. I also and my maydes will fast likewise, and so will I go in to the King, which is not according to the lawe: and if I perish, I perish.
O hele, a e hoakoakoa mai i na Iudaio a pau i loaa ma Susana nei, a e hookeai oukou no'u, mai ai, mai inu hoi, i na la ekolu, aole i ka po, aole i ke ao; a owau no kekahi e hookeai, a me ko'u poe wahine, a pela wau e komo aku ai i ke alii la: aole ia i ku pono i ke kanawai; aka, ina e make au, make no.
17 So Mordecai went his way, and did according to all that Ester had commanded him.
Alaila, hele aku la o Moredekai, a hana iho la e like me na mea a pau a Esetera i kauoha mai ai ia ia.
