Esther 8
1 And in that day king Artaxerxes gave to Esther all that belonged to Aman the slanderer: and Mardochaeus was called by the king; for Esther had shown that he was related 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 And the king took the ring which he had taken away from Aman, and gave it to Mardochaeus: and Esther appointed Mardochaeus over all that had been Aman's.
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 And she spoke yet again to the king, and fell at his feet, and implored [him] to do away the mischief of Aman, and all that he had done against 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 Then the king stretched out to Esther the golden sceptre: and Esther arose to stand near the king.
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 And Esther said, If it seem good to you, and I have found favor [in your sight], let an order be sent that the letters sent by Aman may be reversed, that were written for the destruction of the Jews, who are in your kingdom.
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 shall I be able to look upon the affliction of my people, and how shall I be able to survive the destruction of my kindred?
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 And the king said to Esther, If I have given and freely granted you all that was Aman's, and hanged him on a gallows, because he laid his hands upon the Jews, what do you yet further seek?
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 Write you also in my name, as it seems good to you, and seal [it] with my ring: for whatever [orders] are written at the command of the king, and sealed with my ring, it is not lawful to gainsay them.
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 So the scribes were called in the first month, which is Nisan, on the three and twentieth day of the same year; and [orders] were written to the Jews, whatever [the king had] commanded to the local governors and chiefs of the satraps, from India even to Ethiopia, a hundred and twenty-seven satraps, according to the several provinces, according to their dialects.
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 And they were written by order of the king, and sealed with his ring, and they sent the letters by the posts:
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 wherein he charged them to use their [own] laws in every city, and to help each other, and to treat their adversaries, and those who attacked them, as they pleased,
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 on one day in all the kingdom of Artaxerxes, on the thirteenth [day] of the twelfth month, which is 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 And let the copies be posted in conspicuous places throughout the kingdom, and let all the Jews be ready against this day, to fight against 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 So the horsemen went forth with haste to perform the king's commands; and the ordinance was also published in 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 And Mardochaeus went forth robed in the royal apparel, and wearing a golden crown, and a diadem of fine purple linen: and the people in Susa saw [it] and rejoiced.
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 And the Jews had light and gladness,
He malamalama ko na Iudaio, a me ka hauoli, a me ka olioli, a me ka mahaloia.
17 in every city and province wherever the ordinance was published: wherever the proclamation took place, the Jews had joy and gladness, feasting and mirth: and many of the Gentiles were circumcised, and became Jews, for fear of the Jews.
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.
