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,
No te mohiotanga o Mororekai ki nga mea katoa i meatia, haehaea ana e Mororekai ona kakahu, kei te kakahu i te kakahu taratara, kei te mea i te pungarehu ki a ia: haere ana ki waenganui o te pa, he nui, he tiwerawera tana tangi.
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.
Na haere ana ia ki mua i te kuwaha o te kingi; e kore hoki e ahei kia haere ki roto i te kuwaha o te kingi ki te mea he taratara te kakahu.
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.
Na, i nga kawanatanga katoa, i nga wahi i tae atu ai te kupu a te kingi me tana ture, nui atu te tangi o nga Hurai, te nohopuku, te aue, me te uhunga: a he tokomaha he kakahu taratara to ratou whariki, he pungarehu.
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].
Na kua tae nga kotiro a Ehetere me ana rangatira ruma, kei te whakaatu ki a ia. Na tino mamae rawa te kuini. Hoatu ana e ia he kakahu kia kawea hei kakahu mo Mororekai, kia tangohia hoki ona kakahu taratara i a ia: otiia kihai ia i tango atu.
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].
Katahi a Ehetere ka karanga ki a Hataka, ki tetahi o nga rangatira ruma a te kingi i whakaritea nei e ia kia tu ki tona aroaro, a ka whakahau i a ia kia haere ki a Mororekai, kia mohiotia he aha ra tenei mea, a na te aha hoki.
6 And Hatach goes out to Mordecai, to a broad place of the city, that [is] before the gate of the king,
Heoi haere ana a Hataka ki a Mororekai, ki te waharoa o te pa, ara ki te aronga o te kuwaha o te kingi.
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,
A whakaaturia ana e Mororekai ki a ia nga mea katoa i pa ki a ia, me te tuturu o te moni i kiia e Hamana kia paunatia e ia ki roto ki nga whare taonga o te kingi hei mea mo nga Hurai kia whakangaromia.
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.
I homai ano e ia ki a ia nga kupu o te ture i tuhituhia, i homai nei i Huhana kia whakangaromia ratou, a mana e whakakite ki a Ehetere, e whakaatu ki a ia, mana hoki ia e whakahau kia haere ki te kingi wawao ai; kia rapua hoki i tona aroaro he me a mo tona iwi.
9 And Hatach comes in and declares to Esther the words of Mordecai,
Na haere ana a Hataka, whakaaturia ana e ia ki a Ehetere nga kupu a Mororekai.
10 and Esther speaks to Hatach, and charges him for Mordecai:
Katahi a Ehetere ka korero ki a Hataka, a hoatu ana e ia he kupu ki a Mororekai, hei mea:
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.”
E mohio ana nga tangata katoa a te kingi, me te iwi o nga kawanatanga a te kingi, ko nga tangata katoa, ahakoa tane, ahakoa wahine, e haere ana ki to roto marae, ki te kingi, i te mea kihai i karangatia, kotahi tonu tana ture kia whakamatea, ki te kahore ia e torona atu e te kingi te hepeta koura ki a ia kia ora ai. Engari ko ahau, ka toru tekau enei ra oku kihai i karangatia kia haere ki te kingi.
12 And they declare to Mordecai the words of Esther,
Na korerotia ana e ratou ki a Mororekai nga kupu a Ehetere.
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,
Katahi a Mororekai ka ki atu kia whakahokia tenei kupu ki a Ehetere, Kei mahara koe na ka ora koe i te whare o te kingi, i nga Hurai katoa.
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?”
Ki te wahangu rawa hoki koe i tenei wa, tera e puta ake he tanga manawa, he whakaoranga mo nga Hurai i tetahi atu wahi. Na ko koe, ko te whare hoki o tou papa, ka ngaro; ko wai hoki ka mohio mo te wa penei pea i tae mai ai koe ki te kingitanga?
15 And Esther commands to send back to Mordecai:
Katahi ka ki a Ehetere kia whakahokia tenei kupu ki a Mororekai,
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.”
Tikina, huihuia nga Hurai katoa e kitea ki Huhana, ka nohopuku ai koutou, hei mea moku; kaua hoki e kai, kaua e inu, kia toru nga ra, po, ao, ko ahau hoki, ko matou ko aku kotiro ka nohopuku ano; ko reira ahau haere ai ki te kingi; he mea kahore nei e rite ki te ture. A ki te mea ka huna ahau, ka huna ahau.
17 And Mordecai passes on, and does according to all that Esther has charged on him.
Heoi haere ana a Mororekai, meatia ana e ia nga mea katoa i whakahaua ki a ia e Ehetere.
