< Esther 8 >

1 [Later] on that same day, King Xerxes declared that everything that Haman, the enemy of the Jews, owned, would now belong to Queen Esther. Esther told the king that Mordecai was her cousin. [When] the king [heard that, he sent a message to tell] Mordecai to come in.
Hagi ana knazupage kini ne' Serksisi'a Jiu vahe'ma ha'ma rezmantea ne'mofo mopa'ama, noma'ama maka zama'anena kuini a' Esta eri nemino, Modekaina avate eri'za vahe avre'ne. Na'ankure kuini a' Esta'a kini nera asamino Modekaia nensaro mani'ne huno hu'ne.
2 When Mordecai came in, the king took off the ring that had his official seal on it, the ring that he had [previously] given to Haman, and gave it to Mordecai, [to indicate that Mordecai was now his most important official]. And Esther appointed Mordecai to be in charge of everything that had belonged to Haman.
Ana nehuno kini ne'mo'a amiteno ete eri'nea rinia Modekai ami'ne. Higeno Esta'a Modekaina nonku'ma kva vahe azeri oti'ne.
3 Esther again [came to] talk to the king. She prostrated herself at his feet, crying. She [wanted to] plead for him to stop what Haman had planned, to kill all the Jews.
Ana huteno Esta'a mago'ane kini nete vuno, zavi ome neteno agafi umaseno kini nera agesu huno, Agagi ne' Hemani'ma Jiu vahe'ma zamahe hana'ma hunaku'ma retro'ma hu'nea nanekea eri atro huno hu'ne.
4 The king held out his gold scepter/staff toward Esther, so Esther arose and stood in front of him.
Hagi anante kini ne'mo'a golire azota arusute amigeno Esta'a kini ne'mofo avuga oti'no,
5 She said, “Your majesty, if you are pleased with me, and if you think that it is the right thing to do, make a new law to cancel what Haman decreed, that all the Jews in all the provinces in your empire should be killed.
amanage huno hu'ne, Kini ne'mokama musema nehunka, kavesi nantenka, kagesama antahisankeno kagri kavure'ma fatgoma hanigenka, Agati ne' Hemani'ma huno, Jiu vahe'ma maka kumapinti'ma zamahe hanama huke hu'nea naneke eri atregeno kagrama kegava hu'nana mopafina ana zana forera osino.
6 I cannot bear seeing all my family and [all the rest of] my people killed.”
Na'ankure nagrama nege'nugeno'ma vahenimo'ma e'inahu hazenkema erisage'na inankna hu'na frua hu'na manigahue. Hagi naga'ni'ama zamahesage'na haviza hugahue.
7 King Xerxes replied to Queen Esther and Mordecai, “Because Haman tried to get rid of all the Jews, I have given to Esther everything that belonged to Haman, and I have ordered [my soldiers] to hang Haman.
Higeno kuini a' Estane Jiu ne' Modekainena amanage huno kini ne' Serksisi'a znasmi'ne, Hemani nonkumara ko Esta amugeno, Hemanina zafare ahe'za hanti'naze. Na'ankure agra Jiu vahetmina zamahe fanane huke hu'negu anara hu'noe.
8 So now I am also permitting you to write other letters, to [save] your people. You may put my name [on the letters], and use my ring to seal them because no letter that has my name on it and which is sealed with my ring can ever be changed.”
Hagi menina ama'na avona kini ne'mo'na nagire kreta avame'zana rinini'a rekamareta Jiu vahetega atrenkeno maka kaziga vuno eno hino. Na'ankure ko'ma kini ne'mo'na nagire'ma avoma kreno, nagri avame'zama rinima rekamrentea avontafera eri otregahaze.
9 Then the king summoned his secretaries, on June 25th, and [Mordecai told them to] write letters to the Jews and to all the governors and other officials in all of the 127 provinces, which extended from India [in the east] to Ethiopia [in the west]. They wrote these letters in all the languages that the people in each area spoke. They also wrote letters to the Jewish people, in their language.
Higeno 3 ikanku'ma Sivanie nehaza ikamofo 23 zupa kini ne'mofo avoma kre eri'za neku higeno, Modekaima hia kante anteno, Jiu vahetegama, ugota kva vahetegama, ranra kva vahetegama gavana vahetegama, mareri eri'za vaheteganena kreno atregeno maka 127ni'a provinsia Indiati vuno (Kus) Itiopia ome atre'nea kumatamintega vuno eno hu'ne. Hagi mago mago provinsifi vahetmintega zamagri'a zamagerupinti kretere nehuno, Jiu vahetega zamagri zamagerupinti kretre'ne.
10 They wrote in those letters that the Jews in every city were permitted by the king to gather together to protect themselves. They also were permitted to kill any group of soldiers who attacked them. They were also permitted to kill the women and children of those who attacked them, and to take the possessions of the people whom they killed.
Hagi ana avona kini ne' Serksisi agifi kreno, avame'zana agri rinireti rekamarente'ne. Ana huteno ana avontafe tamina avoma erino vuno eno'ma hu vahetami huzmantege'za kini ne'mofo erizante'ma agamareno vuno eno'ma nehia hosi afutamimpi ana avona ame hu'za eri'za vu'za eza hu'naze.

12 [All this was to be done] on March 7th of the following year. Mordecai signed the king’s name on the letters, and sealed them with the seal that was on the king’s ring. Then he gave them to messengers, who rode on fast horses that had been raised especially for the king.
Hagi ana'ma hanaza zamofo knama kini ne' Serksisima erinte'neana Adarie nehaza ikana 12fu ikankino, 13 knazupa ana zama hanazankna erinte'ne.
13 Copies of this law were to be nailed to posts in every province and read to all the people, in order that the Jews would be ready to (get revenge on/fight against) their enemies on March 7th.
Hagi ana nanekema kre'neana maka provinsifina kasegegna hu'za huama hanageno, ana knama esige'za Jiu vahe'mo'za trotra hu'za mani'ne'za ha' vahe'zamimo'za ha'ma eme huzmantesnage'za, nona hu'za hara huzmantegahaze.
14 The king commanded the men who took these letters [to all the provinces] to ride quickly on the king’s horses. And copies of the letter were also posted and read to the people in [the capital city, ] Susa.
Hagi kini ne'mo'a avoma erino vuno eno'ma hu vahetami huzmantege'za kini ne'mofo erizante'ma agamareno vuno eno'ma nehia hosi afutamimpi, ana avona ame huza eri'za vu'za e'za hu'naze. Hagi anahu nanekege Susa rankumapinena huama hu'naze.
15 Before Mordecai left the palace, he put on the blue and white robe and a large gold crown that the king had given him. He also put on a coat made of fine purple cloth. When the people in Susa heard the new law, they all shouted and cheered.
Hagi Modekai'a kini vahe'mo'zama nentaniza za'za kukena hokonke'ene efeke kukena nentanino, golire fetori asenirera nentanino, fitunke nakre ku'a amega antanino kini ne'mofo avugatira atreno vige'za Susa rankumapina ana avoma kre'nea zantera musenkasena hu'naze.
16 The Jews in Susa were very happy, and [other people] honored [them].
Hagi Jiu vahe'mokizmia, zamagu'afina muse zamo'a avitegeno, maka kaziga ra zamigi zami'naze.
17 And when the new law arrived in every city and province, the Jews there celebrated and prepared feasts and were very joyful. And many men throughout the empire [were circumcised and] became Jews, because they were now afraid of [what] the Jews [would do to them if they were not Jews].
Hagi maka kazigane maka rankumapinena Jiu vahe'mo'za kini ne'mo'ma hiankema nentahi'za mago mani fruhu kna erinte'za ne'za kre'za nene'za, tusi musenkase nehazageno rama'a vahe'mo'za Jiu vahekese'naze. Na'ankure zamagra Jiu vahekura tusi koro hu'naze.
