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,
Na i te tekau ma rua o nga marama, ara i te marama Arara, i te tekau ma toru o nga ra, i te mea ka tata te mahia te kupu a te kingi, me tana ture, i te ra ano i hua ai nga hoariri o nga Hurai ka taea e ratou; otiia i puta ke ano, no te mea i taea e nga Hurai te hunga i kino ki a ratou;
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.
Ka huihui nga Hurai ki o ratou pa i nga kawanatanga katoa a Kingi Ahahueruha, he mea kia pa ai nga ringa ki te hunga e whai ana kia mate ratou; a kihai tetahi i tu ki to ratou aroaro; kua tau hoki to ratou wehi ki nga iwi katoa.
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.
A, ko nga rangatira katoa o nga kawanatanga, me nga kawana, me nga kawana iti, me nga kaimahi i te mahi a te kingi, i awhina i nga Hurai; no te mea kua tau te wehi o Mororekai ki a ratou.
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.
He nui hoki a Mororekai i roto i te whare o te kingi, a i paku tona rongo ki nga kawanatanga katoa: kua nui haere hoki taua tangata, a Mororekai.
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.
Na patua iho e nga Hurai o ratou hoariri katoa ki te hoari, he parekura, he whakangaromanga; meatia ana e ratou ta ratou i pai ai ki te hunga i kino ki a ratou.
6 And in Shushan the capital the Jews slew and exterminated five hundred men.
I Huhana ano, i te whare kingi, e rima rau nga tangata i patua, i whakangaromia e nga Hurai.
7 And Parshandatha, and Dalphon, and Aspatha,
Ko Parahanarata ano, ko Rarapono, ko Ahapata,
8 And Poratha, and Adalya, and Aridatha,
Ko Porata, ko Araria, ko Arirata,
9 And Parmashtha, and Arissai, and Aridai, and Vayzatha,
Ko Paramahata, ko Arihai, ko Arirai, ko Waietata,
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.
Ko nga tama kotahi tekau a Hamana tama a Hamerata, a te hoariri o nga Hurai, patua iho e ratou; kihai ia o ratou ringa i pa ki nga taonga.
11 On that same day came the number of those that were slain in Shushan the capital before the king.
I taua ra ka kawea ki te kingi te tokomaha o te hunga i patua ki Huhana, ki te whare kingi.
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.
Na ka mea te kingi ki a Kuini Ehetere, E rima rau nga tangata kua patua nei e nga Hurai, huna rawa ki Huhana, ki te whare kingi, me nga tama kotahi tekau a Hamana; i pehea ra ratou i era kawanatanga a te kingi? he aha hoki tau e mea nei mau? ka hoatu hoki ki a koe. He aha ake tau e tono ai? a ka meatia.
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.
Ano ra ko Ehetere, Ki te pai te kingi, tukua nga Hurai i Huhana apopo kia mea i nga mea o te ture o tenei ra, kia whakairihia nga tama kotahi tekau a Hamana ki runga ki te rakau.
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.
Na ka mea te kingi kia meatia tenei, a ka homai te ture i Huhana. Na whakairihia ana nga tama kotahi tekau a Hamana.
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.
A i huihui nga Hurai i Huhana i te tekau ma wha ano o nga ra o te marama Arara, a e toru rau nga tangata i patua e ratou i Huhana; kihai ia o ratou ringa i pa ki nga taonga.
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,
Na, ko era atu Hurai o nga kawanatanga a te kingi, i huihui ratou, a tu ana ki runga, kia ora ai ratou. Na ka ta o ratou manawa i o ratou hoariri, a patua iho e ratou o te hunga i kino ki a ratou e whitu tekau ma rima mano; kihai ano ia o ratou ringa i pa ki nga taonga.
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.
I meinga tenei i te tekau ma toru ano o nga ra o te marama Arara; i te tekau ma wha hoki ka ta te manawa, waiho iho e ratou hei ra mo te kai hakari, mo te hari.
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.
Engari ko nga Hurai i Huhana, i huihui i te tekau ma toru o nga ra o taua marama, i te tekau ma wha ano, a no te tekau ma rima ka whakata; waiho iho e ratou hei ra mo te kai hakari, mo te hari.
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.
Na reira nga Hurai e noho ana i nga pa koraha, i nga pa taiepakore, i mea ai ko te tekau ma wha o nga ra o te marama Arara hei ra mo te hari, mo te kai hakari, hei ra pai, e tuku tahua ai tetahi ki tetahi.
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,
Na ka tuhituhia e Mororekai enei mea katoa, a tukua ana e ia nga pukapuka ki nga Hurai katoa o nga kawanatanga katoa a Kingi Ahahueruha, ki nga mea e tata ana, ki nga mea i tawhiti,
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,
Kia whakapumautia te tikanga ma ratou, kia whakaritea te tekau ma wha o nga ra o te marama Arara, me te tekau ma rima ano o nga ra o taua marama, i ia tau, i ia tau,
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.
Kia rite ki nga ra i ta ai te manawa o nga Hurai i o ratou hoariri, ki te marama ano i puta ke ai to ratou tangi hei hari, to ratou pouri hei ra pai, kia meinga hei ra kai hakari, hei ra hari, e tukua ai etahi wahi ma tetahi, ma tetahi, me etahi mea ano ma nga rawakore.
23 And the Jews took upon themselves that which they had begun already to do, and that which Mordecai had written unto them.
Na whakaae ana nga Hurai kia mahia nga mea i timataia nei e ratou, nga mea ano i tuhituhia e Mororekai ki a ratou.
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.
He mea mo ta Hamana tama a Hamerata Akaki; ko te hoariri nei ia o nga Hurai katoa; whakaaroa ana e ia he he mo nga Hurai, kia huna ratou; a maka ana e ia he Puri, ara he rota mo ratou kia whakamotitia, kia huna;
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.
No te taenga ia o taua mea ki te aroaro o te kingi, ka whakahau ia, na te pukapuka, kia hoki te whakaaro kino i whakaaroa e ia mo nga Hurai ki runga ki tona pane ake, a taronatia ana ia, ratou ko ana tama, ki runga ki te tarawa.
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,
Na reira i huaina ai aua ra ko Purimi, no te ingoa nei, no Puri. Na reira ano, no nga kupu katoa o tenei pukapuka, no ta ratou ano i kite ai o tenei mea, no nga mea ano i pa ki a ratou,
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.
I whakapumau ai nga Hurai i te tikanga, i whakaae ai hei mea ma ratou, ma o ratou uri, ma te hunga ano hoki e honoa ki a ratou, hei mea e kore e whakataka, kia whakaritea enei ra e rua, kia pera ano me te mea i tuhituhia, i te wa ano e tika ai i tenei tau, i tenei tau;
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.
Kia maharatia ano enei ra, kia mahia e nga whakatupuranga katoa, e nga hapu katoa, e nga kawanatanga katoa, e nga pa katoa, kia kaua ano enei ra o Purimi e ngaro i roto i nga Hurai, me te maharatanga ki aua ra kia kaua e mahue i o ratou uri.
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.
Katahi ka tuhituhi a Kuini Ehetere, ta Apihaira tamahine, a Mororekai Hurai ano, whakapau rawa to raua mana, kia whakapumautia tenei pukapuka tuarua o Purimi.
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,
A i tukua e ia he pukapuka ki nga Hurai katoa, ki nga kawanatanga kotahi rau e rua tekau ma whitu o te kingitanga o Ahahueruha, no te rangimarie nga kupu, no te pono,
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.
Kia whakapumautia enei ra o Purimi i nga wa e tika ai, kia pera me ta Mororekai Hurai raua ko Kuini Ehetere i whakatakoto ai ma ratou; me ta ratou ano i whakatakoto ai hei tikanga ma ratou, ma o ratou uri, ara nga nohopuku, me ta ratou tangi.
32 And the order of Esther confirmed these matters of Purim; and it was written in the book.
Na whakapumautia ana enei meatanga Purimi e te kupu a Ehetere; tuhituhia iho ki te pukapuka.
