Esther 4
1 And Mordecai has known all that has been done, and Mordecai tears his garments, and puts on sackcloth and ashes, and goes forth into the midst of the city and cries—a cry loud and bitter,
A IKE ae la o Moredekai i na mea a pau i hanaia'i, alaila, haehae iho la ia i kona aahu. a komo ia i ke kapa inoino, a me ka lehu, a puka aku la iwaho iwaena o ke kulanakauhale, a uwe iho la, he uwe nui ehaeha loa.
2 and he comes to the front of the gate of the king, but none is to come to the gate of the king with a sackcloth-garment.
A hele oia imua o ka pukapa o ke alii; no ka mea, aole e komo iloko o ka pukapa o ke alii ka mea i aahuia i ke kapa inoino.
3 And in each and every province, the place where the word of the king, even his law, is coming, the Jews have a great mourning, and fasting, and weeping, and lamenting: sackcloth and ashes are spread for many.
A ma na aina a pau kahi i laha aku ai ka olelo a ke alii, a me kona kanawai, nui loa iho la ke kanikau ana o na Iudaio, a me ka hookeai ana, a me ka uwe ana, a me ke kumakena ana; a nui iho la ka poe i moe me ke kapa inoino, a me ka lehu.
4 And young women of Esther come in and her eunuchs, and declare [it] to her, and the queen is exceedingly pained, and sends garments to clothe Mordecai, and to turn aside his sackcloth from off him, and he has not received [them].
A hele aku la na wahine a me na luna o Esetera, a hai aku la ia ia. Alaila, ehaeha loa ke alii wahine, a hoouna ae la ia i ka aahu e hoaahu ai ia Moredekai, a e lawe aku hoi i kona kapa inoino. Aole nae ia i lawe ia mea.
5 And Esther calls to Hatach, of the eunuchs of the king, whom he has stationed before her, and gives him a charge for Mordecai, to know what this [is], and why this [is].
Alaila, hea ae la o Esetera ia Hataka, i kekahi luna o ke alii, ana i hoonoho ai ma ko ia la alo, a kauoha ae la ia ia no Moredekai, i ike oia ia mea, a me ke kumu o ia mea.
6 And Hatach goes out to Mordecai, to a broad place of the city, that [is] before the gate of the king,
Alaila, hele aku la o Hataka ia Moredekai, ma ke alanui o ke kulanakauhale, ma ke alo o ka pukapa o ke alii.
7 and Mordecai declares to him all that has met him, and the explanation of the money that Haman said to weigh to the treasuries of the king for the Jews, to destroy them,
Hai mai la o Moredekai i na mea a pau i loohia mai ai oia, a me ke kala a Hamana i olelo ai e haawi maloko o na waihonakala o ke alii, no na Iudaio, e luku ai ia lakou.
8 and the copy of the writing of the law that had been given in Shushan to destroy them he has given to him, to show Esther, and to declare [it] to her, and to lay a charge on her to go in to the king, to make supplication to him, and to seek from before him, for her people.
A haawi no hoi ia ia i ke kope o ka palapala o ke kanawai i kauia ma Susana, e luku ia lakou, e hoike aku ai ia Esetera, a e hai aku ia ia, a e kauoha aku ia ia e hele aku iloko i ke alii e olelo aku ia ia, a e noi aku no kona poe kanaka.
9 And Hatach comes in and declares to Esther the words of Mordecai,
Hoi mai la o Hataka, a hai ae la ia Esetera i na olelo a Moredekai.
10 and Esther speaks to Hatach, and charges him for Mordecai:
Olelo hou ae la o Esetera ia Hataka, a ma o na la oia i kauoha'i ia Moredekai;
11 “All servants of the king, and people of the provinces of the king, know that any man and woman who comes to the king, into the inner court, who is not called—one law of his [is] to put [them] to death, apart from him to whom the king holds out the golden scepter, then he has lived; and I have not been called to come in to the king these thirty days.”
Ua ike no na kanaka a pau o ke alii, a me na lahuikanaka o na aina o ke alii, o ka mea hele i ke alii la, ma ka pahale oloko, o ke kane a me ka wahine, me ke kii ole ia mai, hookahi kanawai nona, e make ia, ke o ole mai ke alii i ke kookooalii gula ia ia, i mea e ola'i. Aole hoi au i kiina mai e hele i ke alii la, i keia mau la he kanakolu.
12 And they declare to Mordecai the words of Esther,
Hai mai la lakou ia Moredekai i na olelo a Esetera.
13 and Mordecai commands to send back to Esther: “Do not think in your soul to be delivered [in] the house of the king, more than all the Jews,
Alaila, kauoha ae la o Moredekai, e olelo aku ia Esetera, Mai manao oe iloko o kou naau, e pakele oe iloko o ka hale o ke alii, a e ole na Iudaio e a pau.
14 but if you keep entirely silent at this time, respite and deliverance remains to the Jews from another place, and you and the house of your fathers are destroyed; and who knows whether for a time like this you have come to the kingdom?”
No ka mea, ina e hamau oe i kau olelo i keia manawa, alaila, loaa no i na Iudaio ka hoakeaia, a me ke ola, mai kahi e mai; a e make no oe, a me ko ka hale o kou makuakane. Malia paha o kou mea ia i hiki ai i ke aupuni no ka manawa e like me neia?
15 And Esther commands to send back to Mordecai:
Alaila, kauoha ae la o Esetera, e olelo aku lakou ia Moredekai.
16 “Go, gather all the Jews who are found in Shushan, and fast for me, and do not eat nor drink three days, by night and by day; also I and my young women fast likewise, and so I go in to the king, that [is] not according to law, and when I have perished—I have perished.”
O hele, a e hoakoakoa mai i na Iudaio a pau i loaa ma Susana nei, a e hookeai oukou no'u, mai ai, mai inu hoi, i na la ekolu, aole i ka po, aole i ke ao; a owau no kekahi e hookeai, a me ko'u poe wahine, a pela wau e komo aku ai i ke alii la: aole ia i ku pono i ke kanawai; aka, ina e make au, make no.
17 And Mordecai passes on, and does according to all that Esther has charged on him.
Alaila, hele aku la o Moredekai, a hana iho la e like me na mea a pau a Esetera i kauoha mai ai ia ia.
