Esetera 3
1 MAHOPE ihu o keia mau mea, hoohanohano ae la ke alii o Ahasuero ia Hamana, i ke keiki a Hamedata ke Agaga, a hookiekie ia ia, a hoonoho iho la ia ia maluna o na'lii a pau e noho pu ana me ia.
After these things did king Ahasuerus promote Haman the son of Hammedatha the Agagite, and advanced him, and set his seat above all the princes that were with him.
2 A o na kanaka a pau o ke alii ma ka pukapa o ke alii, kukuli no lakou a moe ilalo imua o Hamana, no ka mea, pela ka ke alii kauoha nona. Aole nae i kukuli iho o Moredekai, aole i moe ilalo.
And all the king's servants, that were in the king's gate, bowed, and reverenced Haman: for the king had so commanded concerning him. But Mordecai bowed not, nor did him reverence.
3 Alaila, olelo aku la na kanaka o ke alii, ka poe ma ka pukapa o ke alii, ia Moredekai, No ke aha la oe e hoohala nei i ke kauoha a ke alii?
Then the king's servants, which were in the king's gate, said unto Mordecai, Why trangress you the king's commandment?
4 Olelo aku no lakou ia ia i kela la i keia la, aole nae ia i hoolohe mai i ka lakou, alaila, hai aku la lakou ia Hamana, i ike lakou i ke ku pono ana o na mea a Moredekai, a me ka ole; no ka mea, ua hai mai oia ia lakou he Iudaio ia.
Now it came to pass, when they spoke daily unto him, and he hearkened not unto them, that they told Haman, to see whether Mordecai's matters would stand: for he had told them that he was a Jew.
5 A ike aku la o Hamana, aole i kukuli o Moredekai, aole hoi i moe imua ona, alaila piha iho la o Hamana i ka huhu.
And when Haman saw that Mordecai bowed not, nor did him reverence, then was Haman full of wrath.
6 He mea e hoowahawahaia i kona manao ke kau ka lima maluna o Moredekai wale no; no ka mea, ua hoike lakou ia ia i ko Moredekai lahuikanaka. Nolaila i imi ai o Hamana e luku i na Iudaio a pau, ma ke aupuni a pau o Ahasuero, i ka lahuikanaka hoi o Moredekai.
And he thought scorn to lay hands on Mordecai alone; for they had showed him the people of Mordecai: wherefore Haman sought to destroy all the Jews that were throughout the whole kingdom of Ahasuerus, even the people of Mordecai.
7 I ka malama mua, oia hoi ka malama o Nisana, i ka makahiki umikumamalua o ke alii o Ahasuero, hoolei pura lakou, oia hoi ka hailona, imua o Hamana i kela la i keia la, i kela malama i keia malama, a hiki i ka malama umikumamalua, oia hoi o Adara.
In the first month, that is, the month Nisan, in the twelfth year of king Ahasuerus, they cast Pur, that is, the lot, before Haman from day to day, and from month to month, to the twelfth month, that is, the month Adar.
8 I aku la o Hamana i ke alii, ia Ahasuero, He lahuikanaka i puehuia a helelei iwaena o na kanaka, ma na aina a pau o kou aupuni; okoa o ko lakou kanawai i ko na kanaka e a pau, aole hoi lakou i malama i na kanawai o ke alii. Aole he mea pono no ke alii ke hoomalu ia lakou.
And Haman said unto king Ahasuerus, There is a certain people scattered abroad and dispersed among the people in all the provinces of your kingdom; and their laws are diverse from all people; neither keep they the king's laws: therefore it is not for the king's profit to suffer them.
9 A ina he maikai i ko ke alii manao, e palapalaia, e make lakou; a na'u no e kaupaona aku i umi tausani talena kala, no ka poe malama ia hana, e laweia mai ia iloko o na waihonakala o ke alii.
If it please the king, let it be written that they may be destroyed: and I will pay ten thousand talents of silver to the hands of those that have the charge of the business, to bring it into the king's treasuries.
10 Wehe ae la ke alii i kona komo lima, mai kona lima ae, a haawi mai la ia Hamana i ke keiki a Hamadata ke Agaga, i ka enemi o na Iudaio.
And the king took his ring from his hand, and gave it unto Haman the son of Hammedatha the Agagite, the Jews' enemy.
11 I mai la ke alii ia Hamana, Ua haawiia ke kala nou, a me na kanaka pu, e hana aku ia lakou e like me ka mea au e manao ai he maikai.
And the king said unto Haman, The silver is given to you, the people also, to do with them as it seems good to you.
12 Alaila, i ka la umikumamakolu o ka malama mua, kiina ka poe kakauolelo o ke alii, a e like me na mea a pau a Hamana i kauoha'i, pela i palapalaia'i i na kiasina o ke alii a me na'lii aimoku a pau, i na'lii o na lahuikanaka a pau o na aina a pau, e like me ka mea i palapalaia, i na lahuikanaka a pau ma ka lakou olelo iho: ma ka inoa o ke alii o Ahasuero ka palapala ana, a hoailonaia me ke komolima o ke alii.
Then were the king's scribes called on the thirteenth day of the first month, and there was written according to all that Haman had commanded unto the king's lieutenants, and to the governors that were over every province, and to the rulers of every people of every province according to the writing thereof, and to every people after their language; in the name of king Ahasuerus was it written, and sealed with the king's ring.
13 A hoounaia na palapala, ua na elele i lawe, i na aina a pau o ke alii, e luku, a e pepehi, a e hoolilo i ka make i na Iudaio a pau, na mea opiopio, a me na mea kahiko, i na keiki uuku a me na wahine, ma ka la hookahi, ma ka la umikumamakolu o ka malama umikumamalua, oia hoi ka malama o Adara, a e lawe hoi i ko lakou waiwai i waiwai pio.
And the letters were sent by posts 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 upon the thirteenth day of the twelfth month, which is the month Adar, and to take the spoil of them for a prey.
14 A hoolahaia i na kanaka a pau ka palapala like, ua kauia i kanawai no na aina a pau, i makaukau lakou, ke hiki aku a ua la la.
The copy of the writing for a commandment to be given in every province was published unto all people, that they should be ready against that day.
15 A holo aku la na elele, ua hoolalelaleia e ke kauoha a ke alii. A kauia no hoi ia kanawai ma Susana ka pakaua. Noho iho la ilalo ke alii a me Hamana e inu; aka ua pilikia loa ko ke kulanakauhale o Susana.
The posts went out, being hastened by the king's commandment, and the decree was given in Shushan the palace. And the king and Haman sat down to drink; but the city Shushan was perplexed.
