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.
Kutu pacl tok, Tokosra Ahasuerus el kilukunak mwet se pangpang Haman nu ke wal se ma fulat liki mwet leum nukewa sayal. Haman el wen natul Hammedatha, su sie mwet in fwilin tulik natul Agag.
2 And all the king’s servants, that [were] in the king’s gate, bowed, and reverenced Haman: for the king had so commanded concerning him. But Mordecai bowed not, nor did [him] reverence.
Tokosra el sapkin mwet leum nukewa su kulansapwal in akfulatyal Haman, ac elos in putati ac pasrla nu sel. Elos nukewa oru sayal Mordecai, su tia wi putati ac epasr nu sel.
3 Then the king’s servants, which [were] in the king’s gate, said unto Mordecai, Why transgressest thou the king’s commandment?
Mwet leum sayal uh elos siyuk sel lah efu el ku tia akos ma sap lun tokosra.
4 Now it came to pass, when they spake daily unto him, and he hearkened not unto them, that they told Haman, to see whether Mordecai’s matters would stand: for he had told them that he [was] a Jew.
Len nu ke len elos kwafel elan sroang wi, tuh el tiana porongelos. El fahk mu, “Nga sie mwet Jew, ac nga tia ku in epasr nu sel Haman.” Ke ma inge elos fahkang nu sel Haman ma se inge, in suk lah el ac ku in muteng ouiya se lal Mordecai inge.
5 And when Haman saw that Mordecai bowed not, nor did him reverence, then was Haman full of wrath.
Haman el foloyak ke el etauk lah Mordecai el tia wi putati ac epasr nu sel,
6 And he thought scorn to lay hands on Mordecai alone; for they had shewed 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.
ac ke el lohng lah Mordecai el sie mwet Jew, el nunkauk elan oru sie kai na yohk, tia nu sel Mordecai mukena, a el lumahla in sukela mwet Jew nukewa in tokosrai lun Persia.
7 In the first month, that [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], that [is], the month Adar.
In yac aksingoul luo wacl Tokosra Ahasuerus, in malem se meet, malem in Nisan, Haman el sapkin in orek susfa (elos pangon “purim”) in konauk len su in malem su el ac oru pwapa sulallal se lal inge. Len aksingoul tolu in malem aksingoul luo, malem Adar, pa sikyak.
8 And Haman said unto king Ahasuerus, There is a certain people scattered abroad and dispersed among the people in all the provinces of thy kingdom; and their laws [are] diverse from all people; neither keep they the king’s laws: therefore it [is] not for the king’s profit to suffer them.
Ouinge Haman el fahk nu sel Tokosra Ahasuerus, “Oasr un mwet se fahsrelik ac muta ke mutunfacl nukewa in tokosrai lom uh. Facsin lalos uh sie liki na facsin lun mwet nukewa. Ac elos tia pac wi akos ma sap lun tokosrai se inge. Ke ma inge, ac wanginna sripa wo nu sin tokosra kom fin lela elos in mutana.
9 If it please the king, let it be written that they may be destroyed: and I will pay ten thousand talents of silver to the hands of those that have the charge of the business, to bring [it] into the king’s treasuries.
Fin ou lungse lun Tokosra Fulat, supwalik sie sap ku tuh elos in sikiyukla. Kom fin oru ouinge, nga ac srukak tuhn in silver tolfoko itngoul limekosr nu in nien fil mani lun tokosra, in kasru mukuikui nukewa lun tokosrai uh.”
10 And the king took his ring from his hand, and gave it unto Haman the son of Hammedatha the Agagite, the Jews’ enemy.
Oasr sie ring lun tokosra ma orekmakinyuk in stami kutena ma simusla ku sin tokosra. Na tokosra el eisla ring sac liki kufinpaol, ac sang nu sel Haman, mwet lokoalok lun mwet Jew, su wen natul Hammedatha, in fwilin tulik natul Agag.
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.
Tokosra el fahk nu sel Haman, “Mwet ingan ac mani lalos ma lom. Oru oana lungse lom.”
12 Then were the king’s scribes called on the thirteenth day of the first month, and there was written according to all that Haman had commanded unto the king’s lieutenants, and to the governors that [were] over every province, and to the rulers of every people of every province according to the writing thereof, and [to] every people after their language; in the name of king Ahasuerus was it written, and sealed with the king’s ring.
Ouinge ke len se aksingoul tolu ke malem se meet, Haman el solani mwet sim nukewa lun tokosra, ac akkalemye sie mwe fahkak nu selos, elos in lungasla nu ke kas nukewa ac in simusla ke kain in sim nukewa ma orekmakinyuk in tokosrai sac. Mwe fahkak se inge in supweyukelik nu sin mwet leum nukewa, governor nukewa, ac mwet fulat nukewa. Ma inge tuh orekla inel Tokosra Ahasuerus ac stamiyuki ke ring lal.
13 And the letters were sent by posts into all the king’s provinces, to destroy, to kill, 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.
Mwet utuk kas elos usalik mwe fahkak inge nu in mutunfacl nukewa lun tokosrai sac. Kas kac uh fahk mu in len sefanna, len aksingoul tolu in malem Adar, mwet Jew nukewa — mukul, mutan, ac tulik — in anwuki. Elos in tufah akmuseyuki ke wangin pakomuta, ac ma lalos nukewa in itukla in ma wap.
14 The copy of the writing for a commandment to be given in every province was published unto all people, that they should be ready against that day.
Mwe fahkak ke ma sap ku sac enenu in sulkakinyukelik nu in mutunfacl nukewa, tuh mwet nukewa in akola nu ke len sac.
15 The posts went out, being hastened by the king’s commandment, and the decree was given in Shushan the palace. And the king and Haman sat down to drink; but the city Shushan was perplexed.
Fal nu ke sap lun tokosra, mwe fahkak sac sulkakinyuk kalem nu sin mwet nukewa in siti fulat Susa, ac mwet utuk kas uh sa na in usalik nu in facl nukewa. Mwet nukewa in siti Susa elos arulana fohsak, a tokosra ac Haman mutana nimnim.
