< Esther 8 >
1 On that day did king Achashverosh give the house of Haman the adversary of the Jews unto Esther the queen: and Mordecai came before the king; for Esther had told what he was unto her.
In len sacna Tokosra Ahasuerus el sang nu sel Kasra Esther ma nukewa su ma lal Haman, mwet lokoalok lun mwet Jew. Esther el fahkang nu sel tokosra lah Mordecai el sou nu sel, ac tukun pacl sac fahla, filfilla Mordecai elan ku in utyak nu ye mutun tokosra.
2 And the king took off his signet-ring which he had taken away from Haman, and gave it unto Mordecai: and Esther appointed Mordecai over the house of Haman.
Tokosra el eisla ring se lal ma sil lal oan kac (ring se ma el tuh eisla sel Haman) ac sang nu sel Mordecai. Esther el sang tuh Mordecai elan nununku ma nukewa lal Haman.
3 And Esther spoke again before the king, and fell down at his feet, and wept, and besought him to do away the evil of Haman the Agagite, and his device which he had devised against the Jews.
Na Esther el faksufi sisken nial tokosra, tung ac kwafe sel elan oru sie inkanek in sikulya pwapa sulallal ma Haman, su ma in fwilin tulik natul Agag, el orala tari in lain mwet Jew.
4 And the king held out toward Esther the golden sceptre; and Esther arose, and stood up before the king;
Tokosra el asroela scepter gold lal nu sel, ouinge Esther el tuyak ac fahk,
5 And she said, If it be pleasing to the king, and if I have found grace before him, and the thing seem proper before the king, and I be pleasing in his eyes, let it be written to recall the letters, the device of Haman the son of Hammedatha the Agagite, which he hath written to exterminate the Jews who are in all the provinces of the king.
“Fin wo ac suwohs ye mutun Tokosra, ac el fin nunku keik ac pakomutuk, lela in simla sie pac mwe fahkak in sikulya ma sap lal Haman, wen natul Hammedatha su ma ke fwilin tulik natul Agag, ma fahk mu in sikiyukla mwet Jew nukewa in tokosrai uh.
6 For how could I endure to look on the evil that is to befall my people? and how could I endure to look on the extermination of my kindred?
Nga ac mutangla fuka ma koluk lulap se inge fin tuku nu fin mwet luk, ac sou luk sefacna elos anwuki?”
7 Then said king Achashverosh unto Esther the queen and to Mordecai the Jew, Behold, the house of Haman have I given to Esther, and him have they hanged on the gallows, because he had stretched out his hand against the Jews.
Na Tokosra Ahasuerus el fahk nu sel Kasra Esther ac Mordecai, mwet Jew, “Liye, nga srupsrulak Haman ke sripen pwapa sulallal lal lain mwet Jew, ac nga sang lal Esther ma lal nukewa.
8 But ye write yourselves concerning the Jews, as it may be good in your eyes, in the king's name, and seal it with the king's signet-ring; for a writing which is written in the king's name, and sealed with the king's signet-ring, cannot be recalled.
Tusruktu kutena mwe fahkak ma supweyukelik inen tokosra ac sil lun tokosra oan kac tia ku in tulokinyuki. Finne ouinge, komtal ku in simis kutena ma komtal lungse nu sin mwet Jew, ac komtal ku in simusla inek kac, ac siliya ke ring lun tokosra.”
9 Then were called the king's scribes at that time in the third month, that is, the month Sivan, on the three and twentieth day thereof; and it was written all just as Mordecai commanded to the Jews, and to the lieutenants, and the governors and the princes of the provinces who were from India unto Ethiopia, one hundred and twenty-seven provinces, unto every province according to its writing, and unto every people according to its language, and to the Jews according to their writing, and according to their language.
Ma se inge sikyak ke len aklongoul tolu in malem aktolu, malem lun Sivan. Mordecai el solani mwet sim nukewa lun tokosra. El kaskas ac elos sim leta nu sin mwet Jew ac nu sin governor, mwet leum ac mwet fulat nukewa lun mutunfacl siofok longoul itkosr, mutawauk India me na nwe Ethiopia. Leta inge simla ke kas lun kais sie acn, ac ke luman sim lun kais sie acn, oayapa nu sin mwet Jew in kas lalos ac ouiyen sim lalos.
10 And he wrote in the name of king Achashverosh, and sealed it with the king's signet-ring, and he sent letters through means of the swift messengers on horseback, and riders on mules, camels, and young dromedaries:
Leta nukewa simla inel Tokosra Ahasuerus ac siliyuki ke ring lun tokosra. Utukelik sin mwet kasrusr fin horse na mulac, ma tohfla mwe kulansap lal tokosra.
11 That the king had granted to the Jews who were in every city to gather themselves together, and to stand forward for their life, to destroy, to slay, and to exterminate all the military strength of the people and province that would assault them, both little ones and women, and to plunder their property as spoil,
Leta inge akkalemye lah tokosra el lela mwet Jew in siti nukewa in tukeni pwapa in sifacna loangelos. Mwet mweun lun kutena mutunfacl ku kutena acn fin tuku mweun nu selos, tulik natulos, ku mutan kialos, na mwet Jew elos ku in lainulos ac onelosla. Elos ku in sukelosla ac eis ma lalos nukewa tuh in ma wap.
12 On one day in all the provinces of king Achashverosh, on the thirteenth day of the twelfth month, which is the month Adar.
Ma sap se inge ac fah mutawauk orekmakinyuk fin acn Persia nufon, fal nu ke len se oakwuki in anwuki mwet Jew, len aksingoul tolu in malem aksingoul luo, malem in Adar.
13 A copy of the writing to be given out as a law in every province, was published unto all nations, and that the Jews should be ready against that day to avenge themselves on their enemies.
Enenu in sulkakinyuk oana sie ma sap, ac in akkalemyeyuk nu sin mwet nukewa in mutunfacl nukewa, tuh mwet Jew nukewa fah akola in foloksak nu sin mwet lokoalok lalos ke len sac.
14 The swift messengers that rode upon mules and camels went out, being hastened and hurried forward with the command of the king: and the law was given out at Shushan the capital.
In oana oakwuk lal tokosra, mwet utuk kas elos kasrusr fin horse nutin tokosra, ac elos kasrusr ke mui na safla lalos. Ma sap sac oayapa sulkakinyuk in siti Susa.
15 And Mordecai went out from the presence of the king in a royal apparel of blue and white, and with a great crown of gold, and with a cloak of fine linen and purple: and the city of Shushan was glad and joyful.
Mordecai el illa liki inkul sin tokosra, ac el nukum nuknuk folfol ac fasrfasr lun tokosra, ac nuknuk lik orek ke linen sroninmutuk srik eoa, ac el puela sifal ke sie nuknuk yunla ke gold. Na inkanek Susa ah ngisyak ke sasa ac pusren engan lulap.
16 For the Jews there was light, with joy and gladness, and honor.
Mwet Jew elos arulana enganak ac mongi; elos insewowo ac pulakin mu elos ac kutangla.
17 And in every province, and in every city, whithersoever the king's command reached with his law, there were joy and gladness for the Jews, entertainments and a feast-day: and many of the people of the land became Jews; for the dread of the Jews had fallen upon them.
In siti ac mutunfacl nukewa, ku kutena acn ma mwe fahkak lun tokosra ritiyuk we, mwet Jew elos oru tuh in sie len lulap lalos, ke elos orek kufwa ac arulana engan. Ma inge pwanang mwet puspis saya weang mwet Jew, ke sripen elos mutawauk in sangeng sin mwet Jew.
