Esetera 2
1 MAHOPE iho o keia mau mea, i ka wa i maalili ai ka huhu o ke alii o Ahasuero, hoomanao iho la ia ia Vaseti, a me na mea ana i hana'i, a me ka kanawai i kauia nona.
After these events, when the fury of king Achashverosh was appeased, he remembered Vashti, and what she had done, and what had been decreed concerning her.
2 Alaila, olelo ae la na kanaka o ke alii, o ka poe i lawelawe nana, E imiia ua ke alii na kaikamahine puupaa, a maikai ke nana aku:
Thus said the king's young men, his servants, Let there be sought for the king virgins handsome in appearance;
3 A e hoonoho hoi ke alii i mau luna ma na aina a pau o kona aupuni, i hoakoakoa mai ai lakou ma Susana nei, ma ka pakaua, i na kaikamahine puupaa a pau, na mea maikai ke nana aku, a i ka hele o na wahine, malalo o ka lima o Hegai ka luna o ke alii, o ka mea malama i na wahine, a e haawiia no lakou na laau ala e maemae ai.
And let the king appoint officers in all the provinces of his kingdom, that they may gather together all the young virgins, handsome in appearance, unto Shushan the capital, into the house of the women, under the custody of Hege the king's chamberlain, the keeper of the women; and let them give them their customary anointings;
4 A o ke kaikamahine e lealea ai ke alii, e lilo ia i alii wahine ma ka hakahaka o Vaseti. A oluolu ke alii ia mea, a hana iho la oia pela.
And let the maiden who may be pleasing in the eyes of the king become queen instead of Vashti: and the speech was pleasing in the eyes of the king, and he did so.
5 Ma Susana ka pakaua kekahi Iudalo, o Moredekai kona inoa, he keiki ia na Iaira, ke keiki a Simei, ke keiki a Kisa, he Beniamina;
There was a certain Jew in Shushan the capital, whose name was Mordecai, the son of Yair, the son of Shim'i, the son of Kish, a Benjamite;
6 Ua lawe pio ia, mai Ierusalema aku, me ka poe pio i lawe pu ia me Iekonia, ke alii o ka Iada, ka mea a Nebukaneza ke alii o Babulona i lawe pio ai.
Who had been carried away into exile from Jerusalem with the exiles who had been exiled with Jeconyah, the king of Judah, whom Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon had carried into exile.
7 Nana no i hanai ia Hadasa, oia hoi o Esetera, ke kaikamahine a kekahi makuakane ona. No ka mea, aole o Esetera makuakane, aole ona makuwahine; ua maikai ka helehelena o ua kaikamahine la, ua uani hoi; a make kona makuakane a me kona makuwahine, lawe o Moredekai ia ia i kaikamahine nana.
And he had brought up Hadassah, that is Esther, the daughter of his uncle; for she had neither father nor mother, and the maiden was beautiful in form and handsome in appearance; and when her father and mother were dead, Mordecai had taken her to himself as a daughter.
8 A loheia ka olelo a ke alii, a me kona kanawai, a hoakoakoaia mai na kaikamahine he nui loa ma Susana ka pakaua, ma ka lima o Hegai, o Esetera kekahi i laweia mai iloko o ka hale o ke alii, ma ka lima o Hegai, o ka mea malama i na wahine.
And it came to pass, when the king's order and his decree were heard, and when many maidens were brought together unto Shushan the capital, under the custody of Hegai, that Esther also was brought unto the king's house, under the custody of Hegai, the keeper of the women.
9 Ua maikai ia kaikamahine i kona manao, a loaa ia ia ke alohaia mai e ia, a haawi koke ae la oia ia ia i na mea ala e maemae ai, a me na mea i pili ia ia, a me na kauwa wahine ehiku, na mea pono ke haawiia mai nona mailoko mai o ka hale o ke alii. A hoonoho oia ia ia a me kana mau kauwa wahine, ma ka hale maikai o na wahine.
And the maiden was pleasing in his eyes, and she obtained favor before him; and he made haste to give her her anointings, with her presents, and the seven maidens, who were selected to be given her, out of the king's house: and he preferred her and her maidens with the best things in the house of the women.
10 Aole i hoike o Esetera i kona lahuikanaka, a me kona hanauna; no ka mea, ua kauoha mai o Moredekai ia ia, aole e hoike.
Esther told nothing of her people or of her descent; for Mordecai had charged her that she should not tell.
11 A holoholo ae la o Moredekai i kela la i keia la, ma ke kahua o ka hale o na wahine, i ike ia i ko Esetera noho ana, a me ka mea e hauaia mai ia ia.
And day by day did Mordecai walk before the court of the house of women, to ascertain the well-being of Esther, and what would be done with her.
12 A hiki i ka manawa pono e hele aku ai kela kaikamahine keia kaikamahine iloko i ke alii ia Ahasuero, mahope iho o kona noho ana he umi a me kumamalua malama, e like me ka hana mau ana a na wahine, (no ka mea, penei i malamaia'i na la o ka hoomaemae ana: eono malama me ka aila mura, a eono malama me na mea ala, a me na mea e maemae ai na wahine: )
And when the turn of every maiden was come to go in unto king Achashverosh, at the expiration [of the time] that she had been treated according to the custom of the women, twelve months; for so were the days of their anointings accomplished, six months with the oil of myrrh, and six months with sweet odors, and with other ointments of the women;
13 Pela i hele ai na kaikamahine i ke alii. O ka mea ana i makemake ai, haawiia mai no ia nana, e lawe pu me ia, mai ka hale o na wahine aku, a ka hale o ke alii.
And thus came the maiden unto the king; [and] whatsoever she asked for was given her to go with her out of the house of the women as far as the house of the king.
14 I ke ahiahi, komo aku la oia iloko, a kakahiaka hoi mai la, a i ka lua o ka hale o na wahine, ma ka lima o Saasegaza, ka luna o ke alii nana i malama i na haiawahine; aole ia i komo hou aku i ke alii la, ke olioli ole ke alii ia ia, a heaia'ku hoi ia ma ka inoa.
In the evening she went, and in the morning she returned unto the second house of the women, to the custody of Sha'ashgas, the king's chamberlain, the keeper of the concubines: she used not to come again unto the king, except the king desired for her, and she was called by name.
15 A hiki i ka manawa pono e komo aku ai i ke alii la, o Esetera, e ke kaikamahine a Abihaila, he makuakane no Moredekai, ka mea i lawe ia ia i kaikamahine nana, aole i makeraake o Esetera i kekahi mea e ae, i na mea wale no a Hegai i olelo ai, ka luna o ke alii, ka mea malama i na wahine. Loaa no ia Esetera ka hoomaikaiia mai e ka poe a pau i ike ia ia.
And when the turn of Esther, the daughter of Abichayil, the uncle of Mordecai, who had taken her to himself as a daughter, was come to go in unto the king, she required nothing but what Hegai the king's chamberlain, the keeper of the women, said: and Esther obtained grace in the eyes of all those that beheld her.
16 A laweia'ku la o Esetera i ke alii, ia Ahasuero, iloko o kona hale alii, i ka malama umi, oia hoi ka malama o Tebeta, i ka hiku o ka makahiki o kona noho alii ana.
And Esther was taken unto king Achashverosh, unto his royal house, in the tenth month, which is the month Tebeth, in the seventh year of his reign.
17 A oi aku ka makemake o ke alii ia Esetera, mamua o na wahine a pau, a loaa ia ia ke alohaia, a me ka lokomaikaiia mai e ia, mamua o na wahine puupaa a pau. A kau iho la ia i ka leialii maluna o kona poo, a hoolilo iho la ia ia i alii wahine ma ka hakahaka o Vaseti.
And the king loved Esther above all the women, and she obtained grace and favor before him more than all the virgins; and he placed the royal crown upon her head, and made her queen instead of Vashti.
18 Alaila, hana iho la ke alii i ahaaina nui na kona mau alii a pau, a me kona poe kanaka; o ka Esetera ahaaina ia. A haawi ae la oia i ka hoomaha no ua aina, a haawi no hoi i ka manawalea, e like me ka aoao mau o ke alii.
And the king made a great feast unto all his princes and his servants, the feast of Esther; and he made a release of taxes to the provinces, and gave presents, according to the ability of the king.
19 A i ka lua o ka hoakoakoa ana mai o na wahine puupaa, e noho ana no o Moredekai ma ka pukapa o ke alii.
And when virgins were gathered together the second time, then was Mordecai sitting in the king's gate.
20 Aole i hoike o Esetera i kona hanauna, a me kona lahuikanaka, e like me ka Moredekai i kauoha aku ai ia ia; no ka mea, malama no o Esetera i ke kauoha a Moredekai, e like me kona manawa i malamaia'i e ia.
[But] Esther had not yet told of her descent nor her people; as Mordecai had charged her; and Esther did [fulfill] the order of Mordecai, equally as when she was under his guardianship.
21 Ia manawa, i ko Moredokai noho ana ma ka pukapa o ke alii, huhu aku la na luna elua o ke alii, o Bigetana, a me Teresa, na mea kiaipuka, a imi iho la laua i wahi e hiki ai e kau ka lima maluna o ke alii o Ahasuero.
In those days, while Mordecai was sitting in the king's gate, Bigthan and Theresh, two chamberlains of the king, of those who kept the door, became wroth, and sought to lay [their] hand on king Achashverosh.
22 A ua ikeia ia mea e Moredekai, a nana no i hai aku ia Esetera, i ke alii wahine; a hai aku o Esetera i ke alii, ma ka inoa o Moredekai.
And the thing became known to Mordecai, and he told it unto Esther the queen; and Esther said it to the king in the name of Mordecai.
23 A hookolokoloia ua mea la, loaa no; nolaila, liia laua a elua maluna o ka laau; a kakauia no hoi ia ma ka buke oihaua imua i ke alo o ke alii.
And the thing was inquired into and found true; and they were both of them hanged on a gallows; and it was written in the book of chronicles before the king.
