< Esther 9 >

1 And in the twelfth month, that is, the month Adar, on the thirteenth day thereof, when the king's command with his law drew near to he put into execution, on the day that the enemies of the Jews had hoped to have power over them, which had been changed nevertheless, so that the Jews had power over those that hated them,
Ke sun len aksingoul tolu in malem aksingoul luo, malem Adar, len se ma sap lun tokosra ac fah mau akpwayeyuk, ac mwet lokoalok lun mwet Jew elos finsrak mu elos fah leum faclos, tusruktu tiana ouinge — mwet Jew pa tuh leum fin mwet lokoalok lalos.
2 The Jews assembled together in their cities, throughout all the provinces of king Achashverosh, to stretch out their hand against those that had sought their injury: and no man could keep standing before them; for the dread of them had fallen upon all the nations.
In acn sin mwet Jew in siti nukewa ke mutunfacl nukewa lal tokosra Ahasuerus, mwet Jew elos tukeni ac akola in mweuni kutena mwet su srike in anwuk nu selos. Mwet yen nukewa sangeng selos, ac wangin mwet ku in kutangulosla.
3 And all the rulers of the provinces, and the lieutenants, and the governors, and the superintendents of the affairs of the king, elevated the Jews; because the dread of Mordecai had fallen upon them.
Pa oru mwet fulat nukewa — governor, mwet leum ac mwet tutaf lun tokosra — mwet inge elos sroang kasru mwet Jew ke sripen elos nukewa sangeng sel Mordecai.
4 For Mordecai was great in the king's house, and his fame went throughout all the provinces; for the man Mordecai became greater and greater.
Pungal Mordecai fahsrelik nu yen nukewa in tokosrai sac, lah arulana yohk ku lal inkul sin tokosra, ac ku lal yokyokelik na.
5 And the Jews smote all their enemies with the stroke of the sword, and slaughter, and extermination; and they acted with those that hated them according to their pleasure.
Ke ma inge mwet Jew elos ku in oru kutena ma elos lungse oru nu sin mwet lokoalok lalos. Elos anwuk nu selos ke cutlass ac onelosla.
6 And in Shushan the capital the Jews slew and exterminated five hundred men.
In Susa, siti fulat sac sifacna, mwet Jew we onela mwet lumfoko.
7 And Parshandatha, and Dalphon, and Aspatha,
Elos unilya Parshandatha, Dalphon, Aspatha,
8 And Poratha, and Adalya, and Aridatha,
Poratha, Adalia, Aridatha,
9 And Parmashtha, and Arissai, and Aridai, and Vayzatha,
Parmashta, Arisal, Aridai, ac Vaizatha —
10 The ten sons of Haman the son of Hammedatha, the adversary of the Jews, did they slay; but to the spoil did they not stretch forth their hand.
mwet inge pa wen singoul natul Haman wen natul Hammedatha, mwet lokoalok lun mwet Jew. Tusruktu mwet uh tiana eisla kutena ma in ma wap lalos.
11 On that same day came the number of those that were slain in Shushan the capital before the king.
Ke len sacna, pisen mwet anwuki in Susa fwackyang nu sel tokosra.
12 Then said the king unto Esther the queen, In Shushan the capital have the Jews slain and exterminated five hundred men, and the ten sons of Haman: what have they done in the rest of the king's provinces? Now what is thy petition? and it shall be granted thee: and what is thy request farther? and it shall be done.
Ke ma inge tokosra el fahk nu sel Kasra Esther, “In siti Susa mukena, mwet Jew elos onela mwet lumfoko, weang wen singoul natul Haman. Na faska in mutunfacl saya ah! Inge, oasr pac ma kom enenu— Ac itukot nu sum. Fahkma lah mea pac kom lungse, ac kom ac fah eis.”
13 Then said Esther, If it please the king, let it tomorrow also be granted to the Jews who are in Shushan to do according to the law of this day, and let the ten sons of Haman be hanged on the gallows.
Esther el topuk ac fahk, “Fin wo ye mutun Tokosra, lela nu sin mwet Jew in Susa tuh ma elos oru misenge in sifilpa orek lutu. Ac sap tuh monin wen singoul natul Haman in sripsripyak ke nien loksak sac.”
14 And the king ordered that it should be done so; and the law was given out at Shushan; and the ten sons of Haman were hanged.
Tokosra el sapkin ma inge in orek, ac sap soko inge sulkakinyukelik in Susa. Monin wen singoul natul Haman sripsripyak ye mutun mwet nukewa.
15 And the Jews that were in Shushan assembled together also on the fourteenth day of the month Adar, and slew at Shushan three hundred men; but to the spoil they did not stretch forth their hand.
Ke len aksingoul akosr in malem Adar, mwet Jew su muta in Susa toeni ac sifilpa uniya mwet tolfoko su muta in siti uh. Tusruktu elos tia eis kutena ma wap.
16 And the remaining Jews that were in the king's provinces assembled together, and stood forward for their life, and procured rest from their enemies, and slew of those that hated them seventy and five thousand; but to the spoil did they not stretch forth their hand,
Mwet Jew in mutunfacl saya elos tukeni ac sifacna loangelos. Elos suk in sukosokla liki mwet kwaselos, ouinge elos uniya mwet itngoul limekosr tausin mwet lokoalok lalos. Tusruktu elos tia eis kutena ma wap.
17 On the thirteenth day of the month Adar, and they rested on the fourteenth day thereof, and made it a day of entertainment and joy.
Ma inge elos oru ke len aksingoul tolu in malem Adar. Len se toko ah, len aksingoul akosr, elos mongla ac oru tuh in sie len in engan ac orek kufwa.
18 But the Jews that were at Shushan assembled together on the thirteenth day thereof, and on the fourteenth thereof, and rested on the fifteenth thereof, and made it a day of entertainment and joy.
Tusruktu mwet Jew in acn Susa, elos oru len aksingoul limekosr in sie len in engan ac orek kufwa, ke sripen elos uniya mwet lokoalok lalos ke len aksingoul tolu ac singoul akosr.
19 Therefore do the Jews of the villages, that dwell in the unwalled towns, make the fourteenth day of the month Adar as one of joy and entertainment, and a feast-day, and of sending portions one to another.
Pa inge sripa se pwanang mwet Jew su muta in siti srisrik ma tia kulusyukyak ke pot uh elos akfulatye len aksingoul akosr in malem Adar oana sie len lulap nu selos in aengani ac orek kufwa ac akitakati ke mwe mongo.
20 And Mordecai wrote down these events; and he sent letters unto all the Jews that were in all the provinces of king Achashverosh, those nigh and those far away,
Mordecai el sapkin in simla ma nukewa ma sikyak inge, ac supwalik leta nu sin mwet Jew nukewa su muta yen apkuran ac oayapa yen loessula apneni mutunfacl nukewa in Tokosrai lun Persia,
21 To take it on themselves as a duty, that they should celebrate the fourteenth day of the month Adar, and the fifteenth day of the same in each and every year,
ac fahkang nu selos in akfulatye len aksingoul akosr ac singoul limekosr in malem Adar, tuh in len lulap lalos in yac nukewa.
22 Like those days whereon the Jews had rest from their enemies, and the month which was changed unto them from sorrow to joy, and from mourning into a feast-day: to make them days of entertainment and joy, and of sending portions one to the other, and gifts to the needy.
Pa inge len ma mwet Jew elos tuh aksukosokyalosla liki mwet lokoalok lalos. Pa inge malem se ma moul in keok ac asor lalos tuh ekla nu ke engan ac insewowo. Fwackyang nu selos elos in akfulatye len luo inge ke orek kufwa ac aengani, oayapa elos in sang mwe kite ke mwe mongo nu sin sie sin sie ac nu sin mwet sukasrup.
23 And the Jews took upon themselves that which they had begun already to do, and that which Mordecai had written unto them.
Ke ma inge mwet Jew elos oru oana ma Mordecai el sapkakin nu selos, ac elos mutawauk in akfulatye len inge ke yac nukewa.
24 Because Haman the son of Hammedatha, the Agagite, the adversary of all the Jews, had devised against the Jews to exterminate them, and had cast the Pur, that is, the lot, to destroy them, and to exterminate them.
Haman, wen natul Hammedatha in fwilin tulik natul Agag su kwase mwet Jew nukewa, el tuh orek susfa (pangpang “purim”) in konauk len se ma ac sikiyukla mwet Jew. El tuh nunku in sukelosla nukewa.
25 But when [Esther] came before the king, he ordered by that letter that his wicked device, which he had devised against the Jews, should return upon his own head: and they hanged him and his sons on the gallows.
Tusruktu ke tokosra el etauk ke pwapa sulallal sac, el supwalik leta in sapkin tuh ma Haman el akoo in oru lain mwet Jew fah folokyang nu sel sifacna, na el, ac wen natul, sripsripyak ke nien loksak sac.
26 Therefore did they call these days Purim, after the name of Pur: therefore, because of all the words of this letter, both for that which they had experienced thereby, and for that which had occurred unto them,
Pa inge sripa oru pangpang len lulap inge Purim, (kalmeya pa “susfa”). Ke sripen leta lal Mordecai, ac ke sripen ma nukewa ma sikyak nu selos,
27 The Jews confirmed it as a duty, and took upon themselves, and upon their seed, and upon all such as join themselves unto them, so that no one should fail therein, that they would celebrate these two days according to their prescription, and at their appointed time, in each and every year.
mwet Jew elos orala sie ma sap nu selos sifacna, oayapa nu sin fwilin tulik natulos ac kutena mwet su ac fah wela mwet Jew, tuh len luo inge in akfulatyeyuk ke sun pacl fal la ke yac nukewa, in fal nu ke oakwuk ma Mordecai el oakiya.
28 And these days are remembered and celebrated throughout each and every generation, every family, every province, and every city; and these days of Purim will not pass away from the midst of the Jews, nor will their memorial cease from their seed.
Akkeyeyukla tuh sou lun mwet Jew in fwil nukewa, ac in mutunfacl nukewa ac siti nukewa, fah esam ac akilen len lun Purim nwe tok.
29 Then wrote Esther the queen, the daughter of Abichayil, with Mordecai the Jew, with all due strength, to confirm this letter of Purim the second time.
Na Kasra Esther, acn natul Abihail, el simusla pac leta se weang leta lal Mordecai, ac sang ku nukewa lal in akkeye sramsram ke Purim, oapana ma Mordecai el simusla tari.
30 And he sent letters unto all the Jews, to the hundred and twenty-seven provinces of the kingdom of Achashverosh, word's of peace and truth,
Leta sac ma nu sin mwet Jew nukewa, ac supweyukelik nu in mutunfacl siofok longoul itkosr in Tokosrai lun Persia. Leta inge fahkak mwe finsrak nu sin mwet Jew tuh elos in moul in misla ac tia fosrnga,
31 To confirm these days of Purim in their times, just as Mordecai the Jew and Esther the queen had enjoined on them, and as they had confirmed for themselves and for their seed, the matters of the fastings and their prayers.
ac oayapa oakiya tuh elos, ac fwil natulos, in akfulatye len lun Purim ke pacl fal, oana ke elos oakiya pac akilenyen pacl in lalo ac eoksra. Ma se inge sapkinyuk sel Mordecai ac Kasra Esther.
32 And the order of Esther confirmed these matters of Purim; and it was written in the book.
Ma sap lal Esther, ma akkeye oakwuk nu ke Purim, tuh simla in sie book limlim.
