< Esther 3 >
1 After these things King Achashyerosh promoted Haman the son of Hammedatha the Agagite, and advanced him, and set his seat above all the officials who were with him.
Kutu pacl tok, Tokosra Ahasuerus el kilukunak mwet se pangpang Haman nu ke wal se ma fulat liki mwet leum nukewa sayal. Haman el wen natul Hammedatha, su sie mwet in fwilin tulik natul Agag.
2 All the king's servants who were in the King's Gate bowed down, and paid homage to Haman; for the king had so commanded concerning him. But Mordecai did not bow down or pay him homage.
Tokosra el sapkin mwet leum nukewa su kulansapwal in akfulatyal Haman, ac elos in putati ac pasrla nu sel. Elos nukewa oru sayal Mordecai, su tia wi putati ac epasr nu sel.
3 Then the king's servants, who were in the King's Gate, said to Mordecai, "Why do you disobey the king's commandment?"
Mwet leum sayal uh elos siyuk sel lah efu el ku tia akos ma sap lun tokosra.
4 Now it came to pass, when they spoke daily to him, and he did not listen to them, that they told Haman, to see whether Mordecai's reason would stand; for he had told them that he was a Jew.
Len nu ke len elos kwafel elan sroang wi, tuh el tiana porongelos. El fahk mu, “Nga sie mwet Jew, ac nga tia ku in epasr nu sel Haman.” Ke ma inge elos fahkang nu sel Haman ma se inge, in suk lah el ac ku in muteng ouiya se lal Mordecai inge.
5 When Haman saw that Mordecai did not bow down, nor pay him homage, Haman was full of wrath.
Haman el foloyak ke el etauk lah Mordecai el tia wi putati ac epasr nu sel,
6 But he scorned the thought of laying hands on Mordecai alone, for they had made known to him Mordecai's people. Therefore Haman sought to destroy all the Jews who were throughout the whole kingdom of Achashyerosh, even Mordecai's people.
ac ke el lohng lah Mordecai el sie mwet Jew, el nunkauk elan oru sie kai na yohk, tia nu sel Mordecai mukena, a el lumahla in sukela mwet Jew nukewa in tokosrai lun Persia.
7 In the first month, which is the month Nisan, in the twelfth year of King Achashyerosh, they cast Pur (that is, the lot) before Haman from day to day, and from month to month, and chose the twelfth month, which is the month Adar.
In yac aksingoul luo wacl Tokosra Ahasuerus, in malem se meet, malem in Nisan, Haman el sapkin in orek susfa (elos pangon “purim”) in konauk len su in malem su el ac oru pwapa sulallal se lal inge. Len aksingoul tolu in malem aksingoul luo, malem Adar, pa sikyak.
8 Haman said to King Achashyerosh, "There is a certain people scattered abroad and dispersed among the peoples in all the provinces of your kingdom, and their laws are different than other people's. They do not keep the king's laws. Therefore it is not for the king's profit to allow them to remain.
Ouinge Haman el fahk nu sel Tokosra Ahasuerus, “Oasr un mwet se fahsrelik ac muta ke mutunfacl nukewa in tokosrai lom uh. Facsin lalos uh sie liki na facsin lun mwet nukewa. Ac elos tia pac wi akos ma sap lun tokosrai se inge. Ke ma inge, ac wanginna sripa wo nu sin tokosra kom fin lela elos in mutana.
9 If it pleases the king, let it be written that they be destroyed; and I will pay ten thousand talents of silver into the hands of those who are in charge of the king's business, to bring it into the king's treasuries."
Fin ou lungse lun Tokosra Fulat, supwalik sie sap ku tuh elos in sikiyukla. Kom fin oru ouinge, nga ac srukak tuhn in silver tolfoko itngoul limekosr nu in nien fil mani lun tokosra, in kasru mukuikui nukewa lun tokosrai uh.”
10 The king took his ring from his hand, and gave it to Haman the son of Hammedatha the Agagite, the Jews' enemy.
Oasr sie ring lun tokosra ma orekmakinyuk in stami kutena ma simusla ku sin tokosra. Na tokosra el eisla ring sac liki kufinpaol, ac sang nu sel Haman, mwet lokoalok lun mwet Jew, su wen natul Hammedatha, in fwilin tulik natul Agag.
11 The king said to Haman, "The silver is given to you, the people also, to do with them as it seems good to you."
Tokosra el fahk nu sel Haman, “Mwet ingan ac mani lalos ma lom. Oru oana lungse lom.”
12 Then the king's scribes were called in on the first month, on the thirteenth day of the month; and all that Haman commanded was written to the king's satraps, and to the governors who were over every province, and to the officials of every people, to every province according its writing, and to every people in their language. It was written in the name of King Achashyerosh, and it was sealed with the king's ring.
Ouinge ke len se aksingoul tolu ke malem se meet, Haman el solani mwet sim nukewa lun tokosra, ac akkalemye sie mwe fahkak nu selos, elos in lungasla nu ke kas nukewa ac in simusla ke kain in sim nukewa ma orekmakinyuk in tokosrai sac. Mwe fahkak se inge in supweyukelik nu sin mwet leum nukewa, governor nukewa, ac mwet fulat nukewa. Ma inge tuh orekla inel Tokosra Ahasuerus ac stamiyuki ke ring lal.
13 Letters were sent by couriers into all the king's provinces, to destroy, to kill, and to cause to perish, all Jews, both young and old, little children and women, in one day, even on the thirteenth day of the twelfth month, which is the month Adar, and to plunder their possessions.
Mwet utuk kas elos usalik mwe fahkak inge nu in mutunfacl nukewa lun tokosrai sac. Kas kac uh fahk mu in len sefanna, len aksingoul tolu in malem Adar, mwet Jew nukewa — mukul, mutan, ac tulik — in anwuki. Elos in tufah akmuseyuki ke wangin pakomuta, ac ma lalos nukewa in itukla in ma wap.
14 A copy of the letter, that the decree should be given out in every province, was published to all the peoples, that they should be ready against that day.
Mwe fahkak ke ma sap ku sac enenu in sulkakinyukelik nu in mutunfacl nukewa, tuh mwet nukewa in akola nu ke len sac.
15 The couriers went forth in haste by the king's commandment, and the decree was given out in the citadel of Shushan. The king and Haman sat down to drink; but the city of Shushan was perplexed.
Fal nu ke sap lun tokosra, mwe fahkak sac sulkakinyuk kalem nu sin mwet nukewa in siti fulat Susa, ac mwet utuk kas uh sa na in usalik nu in facl nukewa. Mwet nukewa in siti Susa elos arulana fohsak, a tokosra ac Haman mutana nimnim.
