Esther 3
1 After these events did king Achashverosh make great Haman the son of Hammedatha the Agagite, and he advanced him; and he placed his seat above that of 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, bent the knee and prostrated themselves to Haman; for so had the king commanded concerning him; but Mordecai bent not the knee nor prostrated himself.
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 said the king's, servants, who were in the king's gate, unto Mordecai, Why transgressest thou the king's command?
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 unto him day by day, and he hearkened not unto them, that they told it to Haman, to see whether the words of Mordecai would be able to stand; for he had told them that be 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 bent not the knee, nor prostrated himself to him, Haman became full of fury.
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 appeared too contemptible in his eyes to lay his hand on Mordecai alone: for they had told him of the people of Mordecai: therefore Haman sought to destroy all the Jews that were throughout all the kingdom of Achashverosh, 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, that is the month Nissan, in the twelfth year of king Achashverosh, some one cast the 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 Then said Haman unto king Achashverosh, There is one people scattered yet separate among the nations in all the provinces of thy kingdom; and their laws are different from those of every people; while they do not execute the laws of the king; and it is no profit for the king to tolerate 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 be pleasing to the king, let [a decree] be written to destroy them; and ten thousand talents of silver will I weigh out into the hands of those that have the charge of the business, to bring [the same] 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 drew his signet-ring from off his hand, and gave it unto Haman the son of Hammedatha the Agagite, the adversary of the Jews.
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, that people also, to do therewith as it seemeth good in thy eyes.
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 called the king's scribes in the first month on the thirteenth day thereof, and there was written all just as Haman had commanded unto the king's lieutenants, and to the governors that were over every province, and to the princes of every people, to every province according to its writing, and to every people according to its language: in the name of king Achashverosh was it written, and it was sealed with the king's signet-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 the letters were sent by the runners unto all the king's provinces, to destroy, to kill, and to exterminate all the Jews, from young to old, little ones and women, on one day, on the thirteenth day of the twelfth month, which is the month Adar, and to plunder their property as spoil.
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 A copy of the writing, to be given out as a law in every province, was published unto all the nations, that they might 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 runners went out with all speed with the king's decree, and the law was given out in Shushan the capital: 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.
