Esther 9
1 The first law that the king had commanded was to be made effective on March 7th. On that day the enemies of the Jews hoped to get rid of them. But instead, on that same day the Jews defeated their enemies.
Yu dunu ilia ha lai dunu da oubi A: ida amola eso13 amoga, Yu dunu huluane medole legemusa: dawa: i. Be amo eso doaga: beba: le, Yu dunu da ilia ha lai dunuma bu gegebeba: le, ili hasali dagoi.
2 Throughout the empire, the Jews gathered together in their cities to attack those who wanted to get rid of them. No one could fight against the Jews, because all the other people in the areas where the Jews lived were afraid of them, [so they did not want to help anyone who attacked the Jews].
Yu dunu da ilia sogebi moilai bega: huluane amo ganodini da nowa da ilima doagala: musa: dawa: sea, amo dunuma bu gegemusa: momagei. Dunu huluane da Yu dunuba: le beda: i galu. Ilia da Yu dunuma dabe gegemu hamedei ba: i.
3 All the governors and [other] officials and important people in all the provinces helped the Jews, because they were afraid of Mordecai.
Dafawane! Fifi asi gala eagene ouligisu dunu, hina dunu amola hina bagade ea ouligisu dunu huluane da Modigaiba: le beda: i. Amaiba: le, ilia da Yu dunu fawane fidisu.
4 They were afraid of him because in all the provinces [they knew that] Mordecai was now the king’s most important official, [with the authority that Haman previously had]. Mordecai was becoming more famous because [the king was giving him] more and more power.
Modigai da hina bagade ea ouligisu fi amo ganodini nimi bagade ba: i. Amola ea nimi hou da gado heda: lalu. Amola dunu huluane Besia fifi asi ganodini da ea hou dawa: i dagoi.
5 [On March 7th, ] the Jews attacked and killed with their swords all of their enemies. They did whatever they wanted to do, to the people who hated them.
Amaibale, Yu dunu da ilia ha lai dunuma, ilia hanaiga hamosu. Ilia da ilima doagala: le, gobihei sedade amoga ilia ha lai dunu medole lelegei.
6 [Just] in Susa alone, the capital city, they killed 500 people.
Moilai bai bagade Susa amo ganodini, Yu dunu ilia da dunu 500 agoane medole legei dagoi.
7 Among those whom they killed were the ten sons of Haman. [Their names were] Parshandatha, Dalphon, Aspatha,
Dunu ilia medole legei amo ganodini, Ha: ima: ne (Yu dunu ilia ha lai dunu, Ha: meda: ida egefe) amo egefe nabuane galu medole legei ba: i. Ilia dio amo da Basia: nada: ida, Da: lafone, A:saba: ida, Boula: ida, Ada: ilia, Alidada, Bama: seda, A:lisai, Alida: i amola Fadiesada. Be Yu dunu ilia da mi hanane sasamogesu hame hamoi.
8 Poratha, Adalia, Aridatha,
9 Parmashta, Arisai, Aridai, and Vaizatha.
10 Those were grandsons of Hammedatha and sons of Haman, the enemy of the Jews. The Jews killed them, but they did not take the things that belonged to the people whom they killed.
11 [At the end of] that day someone reported to the king the number of people whom the Jews killed in Susa.
Amo esoga, hina bagade Segesisi ea ouligisu dunu da dunu Susa amo ganodini medole legei ilia idi, amo ema adole i.
12 Then the king said to Queen Esther, “The Jews have killed 500 people here in Susa, including the ten sons of Haman! [So I think that] they must have killed many more people in the rest of my empire [RHQ]! [But okay], now what else do you want me to do for you. You tell me, and I will do it.”
Amalalu, e da hina bagade uda Esedama amane sia: i, “Yu dunu da Susa amo ganodini fawane dunu 500 agoane medole legei. Ilia da fifi asi amo ganodini habodayane medole legebela: ? Di da wali adi lama: bela: ? Di da dia hanai nama adosea, na da amo defele dima imunu.”
13 Esther replied, “If it pleases you, allow the Jews here in Susa to do again tomorrow what [you] commanded [them] to do today. And command that the bodies of Haman’s ten sons be hanged on the gallows/poles.”
Eseda da bu adole i, “Hina bagade noga: idafa! Yu dunu Susa amo ganodini ilia wali hamoi defele, aya bu hamoma: ne, di sia: ma. Amola Ha: ima: ne egefe nabuane gala, ilia da: i hodo amo ifa duni bugili fugalegei amoga hegoa: nesima: ne sia: ma.”
14 So the king commanded that the Jews be permitted to kill more of their enemies the next day. After he issued [another] order in Susa, the bodies of Haman’s ten sons were hanged.
Hina bagade da Eseda ea sia: i defele hamoma: ne sia: i. Ilia da Ha: ima: ne ea mano nabuane ilia da: i hodo, dunu huluane ba: ma: ne, hegoa: nesisi.
15 On the next day, the Jews in Susa gathered together and killed 300 more people. But [again, ] they did not take the things that belonged to the people whom they killed.
Eso 14 amola oubi A: ida amoga, Yu dunu Susa ganodini esalebe da bu gilisili, dunu 300 eno medole legei. Be amo esoga amola ilia da mihanane sasamogesu hame hamoi.
16 That happened on March 8th. On the following day, the Jews [in Susa] rested and celebrated. In all the other provinces, the Jewish people gathered together to defend themselves, and they killed 75,000 people who hated them, but [again] they did not take the things that belonged to the people whom they killed.
Amola Yu dunu fifi asi gala huluane amo ganodini esalu, da momagele, ilia ha lai dunuma bu gegei. Ilia da ilia ha lai dunu 75,000 amo medole legei. Be ilia da mihanane sasamogesu hame hamoi.
17 That occurred on March 7th, and on the following day they rested and celebrated.
Amo hou da eso 13 amola Aba oubi amoga ba: i. Be ayamoga eso 14 amoga, medole legesu hame ba: i. Ilia da hahawane nodone lolo mai.
18 After the Jews in Susa gathered together [and killed their enemies] on March 7th and 8th, they rested and celebrated on March 9th.
Be Yu dunu Susa amo ganodini esala da eso 15, A: ida oubiga helefisu hamoi. Ilia da ilia ha lai amo eso 13 amola eso14 amoga medole legele, eso 15 amoga medole legesu yolesiba: le, helefi.
19 That is why [every year], on March 8th, the Jews who live in villages now celebrate [defeating their enemies]. They have feasts and give gifts [of food] to each other.
Amaiba: le, wali Yu dunu huluane moilale gagai fonobahadi amo ganodini esala, ilia A: ida oubi amola eso 14 amoga hahawane helefisa. Ilia da lolo naha, amola dunu enoma enoma hahawane dogolegele iasu liligi sagosa.
20 Mordecai wrote down all the things that had happened. Then he sent letters to the Jews who lived throughout the empire of King Xerxes.
Modigai da sia: beba: le, ilia amo hou hamoi huluane dedene, amola Yu dunu huluane Besia fifi asi gala amo ganodini esala, ilima dedene iasi.
21 He told them that every year they should celebrate on the 8th and 9th of March,
Amo meloa dedei da ilia da eso 14 amola eso15A: ida oubiga, ode huluane amoga, helefisu hamoma: ne sia: i.
22 because those were the days when the Jews got rid of their enemies. He also told them that they should celebrate on those days by feasting and giving gifts [of food] to each other and to poor people. They would remember it as the month in which they changed from being very sorrowful to being very joyful, from crying to celebrating.
Bai amo esoga, Yu dunu da ilia ha lai dunu wadela: lesi dagoi. Yu dunu da bagadewane da: i dione, se nabawane esalu. Be A: ida oubiga ilia da: i dioi fisili, hahawane bagade ba: i. Amaiba: le, amo esoga, ilia da hahawane lolo moma: ne, amola dunu enoma enoma ha: i manu sagole moma: ne amola hame gagui dunuma liligi hahawane dogolegele ima: ne, Modigai da sia: i dagoi.
23 So the Jews agreed to do what Mordecai wrote. They agreed to celebrate on those days [every year].
Amaiba: le, Yu dunu da Modigai ea sia: i defele hamoi dagoi. Amalu fa: no, ilia da amo lolo nasu, ode huluane hahamona ahoana.
24 They would remember how Haman, son of Hammedatha, a descendant of [King] Agag, became an enemy of all the Jews. [They would remember] how he had made an evil plan to kill the Jews, and that he had (cast lots/thrown small marked stones) to choose the day to kill [DOU] them.
Ha: ima: ne (Ha: mida: ida egefe, amola A: iga: ge egaga fi. Ha: ima: ne da Yu dunu ilia ha lai), e da eso ilegei ilia da Yu dunu medole legema: ne dawa: musa: , ululuasu (amo ululuasu hedesu ea dio da Biulime). E da Yu dunu huluane medole legele, ebelemusa: dawa: i galu.
25 [They would remember] that when Esther told the king about Haman’s plan, the king arranged that the evil plan that Haman had made to kill the Jews would fail, and that he [would be killed] instead of the Jews, and that Haman and that his sons were hanged.
Be Eseda da amo hou hina bagade Segesisima olelebeba: le, hina bagade da Ha: ima: ne ea ilegei hedofamusa: , meloa dedene iasi. Amalalu, Yu dunu hame, be Ha: ima: ne amola egefe huluane da medole legei dagoi ba: i. Ilia da ilia da: i hodo ifa duni bugili fugalegeiga hegoa: nesi dagoi ba: i.
26 [Because the (lot/small marked stone) that Haman threw was called] Pur, the Jews called these days Purim. And, because of everything that ([Mordecai] wrote/was written) in that letter, and because of all that happened to them,
27 the Jews [throughout the empire] agreed to celebrate in that manner on those two days every year. They said that they would tell their descendants and those people who became Jews to be certain to celebrate this festival every year. They should celebrate just as [Mordecai] told them to do [in the letter] that he wrote.
Amaiba: le, ilia da amo helefisu lolo nabe amoma Biulime dio asuli. Bai Modigai ea meloa dedei amola ilima doaga: i hou, amo Yu dunu da dawa: beba: le, ilia da ilila: sema hamoi. Amo sema da ilia, amola iligaga fi, amola nowa dunu da sinidigili Yu dunu hamosu, amo dunu huluane da ode huluane amoga Modigai ea sia: i defele, eso14amola eso 15 A: ida oubiga, hahawane helefili, lolo manu, amane sema hamoi.
28 They said that they would remember and celebrate on those two days every year, in each family, in every city, and in every province. They solemnly declared that they and their descendants would never stop remembering and celebrating those days called Purim.
Ilia da sema agoane hamoi. Yu sosogo fi huluane, amola hobea fifi mabe huluane, fifi asi gala huluane moilale gagai huluane amo ganodini esala, ilia da mae yolesili, Biulime lolo nasu hahamona ahoanumu.
29 Then Mordecai and Queen Esther, who was the daughter of Abihail, wrote a second letter about the Purim feast. Esther used the authority that she had because of being the queen to confirm that what Mordecai had written in the first letter was true.
Amalalu, hina bagade uda Eseda (A: biha: ile idiwi) amola Modigai, ela da musa: meloa dedei amoma gasa ima: ne, Biulime ea hou olelema: ne, meloa eno dedene i.
30 What they wrote [in the second letter] was, “We wish that all of you will be living peacefully and safely/righteously. We want you and your descendants to celebrate Purim each year on the days that we two established, and to do the things that we two told you to do.” In that letter, Queen Esther and Mordecai also gave them instructions about (fasting/abstaining from eating food) and being sorrowful. Then copies of that letter were sent to all the Jews who were living in the 127 provinces of the empire.
Amo meloa ilia da Yu dunu huluane Besia fifi asi 127 gala, amo ganodini esala, ilima iasi. Meloa dedei da Yu dunu ilia olofole, gaga: iwane esalumu da defea, sia: i.
Amola ilia da musa: ha: i mae nawane helefisu eso amola da: i dione helefisu eso hamoi, amo defele ilia da Biulime helefisu amo ea eso amola oubi ilegei, amoga hamoma: ne sia: i. Modigai amola hina bagade uda Eseda, da amo hamoma: ne sia: gilisili sia: i.
32 The letter that Esther wrote about the manner in which they should celebrate the Purim feast was also written in an official record.
Eseda ea sia: da Biulime sema dafawane dawa: ma: ne, da meloa bioi amo ganodini dedene legei.
