Esther 3
1 After these things did king Ahasuerus promote Haman the son of Hammedatha the Agagite, and advanced him, and set his seat above all the princes that were with him.
MAHOPE ihu o keia mau mea, hoohanohano ae la ke alii o Ahasuero ia Hamana, i ke keiki a Hamedata ke Agaga, a hookiekie ia ia, a hoonoho iho la ia ia maluna o na'lii a pau e noho pu ana me ia.
2 And all the king's servants, that were in the king's gate, bowed down, and prostrated themselves before Haman; for the king had so commanded concerning him. But Mordecai bowed not down, nor prostrated himself before him.
A o na kanaka a pau o ke alii ma ka pukapa o ke alii, kukuli no lakou a moe ilalo imua o Hamana, no ka mea, pela ka ke alii kauoha nona. Aole nae i kukuli iho o Moredekai, aole i moe ilalo.
3 Then the king's servants, that were in the king's gate, said unto Mordecai: 'Why transgressest thou the king's commandment?'
Alaila, olelo aku la na kanaka o ke alii, ka poe ma ka pukapa o ke alii, ia Moredekai, No ke aha la oe e hoohala nei i ke kauoha a ke alii?
4 Now it came to pass, when they spoke daily unto him, and he hearkened not unto them, that they told Haman, to see whether Mordecai's words would stand; for he had told them that he was a Jew.
Olelo aku no lakou ia ia i kela la i keia la, aole nae ia i hoolohe mai i ka lakou, alaila, hai aku la lakou ia Hamana, i ike lakou i ke ku pono ana o na mea a Moredekai, a me ka ole; no ka mea, ua hai mai oia ia lakou he Iudaio ia.
5 And when Haman saw that Mordecai bowed not down, nor prostrated himself before him, then was Haman full of wrath.
A ike aku la o Hamana, aole i kukuli o Moredekai, aole hoi i moe imua ona, alaila piha iho la o Hamana i ka huhu.
6 But it seemed contemptible in his eyes to lay hands on Mordecai alone; for they had made known to him the people of Mordecai; wherefore Haman sought to destroy all the Jews that were throughout the whole kingdom of Ahasuerus, even the people of Mordecai.
He mea e hoowahawahaia i kona manao ke kau ka lima maluna o Moredekai wale no; no ka mea, ua hoike lakou ia ia i ko Moredekai lahuikanaka. Nolaila i imi ai o Hamana e luku i na Iudaio a pau, ma ke aupuni a pau o Ahasuero, i ka lahuikanaka hoi o Moredekai.
7 In the first month, which is the month Nisan, in the twelfth year of king Ahasuerus, they cast pur, that is, the lot, before Haman from day to day, and from month to month, to the twelfth month, which is the month Adar.
I ka malama mua, oia hoi ka malama o Nisana, i ka makahiki umikumamalua o ke alii o Ahasuero, hoolei pura lakou, oia hoi ka hailona, imua o Hamana i kela la i keia la, i kela malama i keia malama, a hiki i ka malama umikumamalua, oia hoi o Adara.
8 And Haman said unto king Ahasuerus: 'There is a certain people scattered abroad and dispersed among the peoples in all the provinces of thy kingdom; and their laws are diverse from those of every people; neither keep they the king's laws; therefore it profiteth not the king to suffer them.
I aku la o Hamana i ke alii, ia Ahasuero, He lahuikanaka i puehuia a helelei iwaena o na kanaka, ma na aina a pau o kou aupuni; okoa o ko lakou kanawai i ko na kanaka e a pau, aole hoi lakou i malama i na kanawai o ke alii. Aole he mea pono no ke alii ke hoomalu ia lakou.
9 If it please the king, let it be written that they be destroyed; and I will pay ten thousand talents of silver into the hands of those that have the charge of the king's business, to bring it into the king's treasuries.'
A ina he maikai i ko ke alii manao, e palapalaia, e make lakou; a na'u no e kaupaona aku i umi tausani talena kala, no ka poe malama ia hana, e laweia mai ia iloko o na waihonakala o ke alii.
10 And the king took his ring from his hand, and gave it unto Haman the son of Hammedatha the Agagite, the Jews' enemy.
Wehe ae la ke alii i kona komo lima, mai kona lima ae, a haawi mai la ia Hamana i ke keiki a Hamadata ke Agaga, i ka enemi o na Iudaio.
11 And the king said unto Haman: 'The silver is given to thee, the people also, to do with them as it seemeth good to thee.'
I mai la ke alii ia Hamana, Ua haawiia ke kala nou, a me na kanaka pu, e hana aku ia lakou e like me ka mea au e manao ai he maikai.
12 Then were the king's scribes called in the first month, on the thirteenth day thereof, and there was written, according to all that Haman commanded, unto the king's satraps, and to the governors that were over every province, and to the princes of every people; to every province according to the writing thereof, and to every people after their language; in the name of king Ahasuerus was it written, and it was sealed with the king's ring.
Alaila, i ka la umikumamakolu o ka malama mua, kiina ka poe kakauolelo o ke alii, a e like me na mea a pau a Hamana i kauoha'i, pela i palapalaia'i i na kiasina o ke alii a me na'lii aimoku a pau, i na'lii o na lahuikanaka a pau o na aina a pau, e like me ka mea i palapalaia, i na lahuikanaka a pau ma ka lakou olelo iho: ma ka inoa o ke alii o Ahasuero ka palapala ana, a hoailonaia me ke komolima o ke alii.
13 And letters were sent by posts into all the king's provinces, to destroy, to slay, and to cause to perish, all Jews, both young and old, little children and women, in one day, even upon the thirteenth day of the twelfth month, which is the month Adar, and to take the spoil of them for a prey.
A hoounaia na palapala, ua na elele i lawe, i na aina a pau o ke alii, e luku, a e pepehi, a e hoolilo i ka make i na Iudaio a pau, na mea opiopio, a me na mea kahiko, i na keiki uuku a me na wahine, ma ka la hookahi, ma ka la umikumamakolu o ka malama umikumamalua, oia hoi ka malama o Adara, a e lawe hoi i ko lakou waiwai i waiwai pio.
14 The copy of the writing, to be given out for a decree in every province, was to be published unto all peoples, that they should be ready against that day.
A hoolahaia i na kanaka a pau ka palapala like, ua kauia i kanawai no na aina a pau, i makaukau lakou, ke hiki aku a ua la la.
15 The posts went forth in haste by the king's commandment, and the decree was given out in Shushan the castle; and the king and Haman sat down to drink; but the city of Shushan was perplexed.
A holo aku la na elele, ua hoolalelaleia e ke kauoha a ke alii. A kauia no hoi ia kanawai ma Susana ka pakaua. Noho iho la ilalo ke alii a me Hamana e inu; aka ua pilikia loa ko ke kulanakauhale o Susana.
