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.
Pea hili ʻae ngaahi meʻa ni naʻe fakahikihiki ʻe he tuʻi ko ʻAhasivelo ʻa Hamani ko e foha ʻo Hamitata ko e tangata Ekaki, mo ne hakeakiʻi ia, pea ʻai hono nofoʻa ke māʻolunga hake ʻi he ngaahi houʻeiki naʻe ʻiate ia.
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.
Pea naʻe punou ʻae kau tamaioʻeiki kotoa pē, ʻaia naʻe ʻi he matapā ʻoe tuʻi, ʻonau fakaʻapaʻapa kia Hamani: he naʻe pehē pe ʻae fekau ʻae tuʻi ʻiate ia. Ka naʻe ʻikai punou ʻa Motekiai, pe fai fakaʻapaʻapa kiate ia.
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?
Pea pehē ai ʻe he kau tamaioʻeiki ʻae tuʻi, ʻaia naʻe nofo ʻi he matapā ʻae tuʻi kia Motekiai, “Ko e hā ʻoku ke talangataʻa ai ki he fekau ʻae tui?”
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.
Pea naʻe hoko ʻo pehē, ʻi heʻenau lea kiate ia ʻi he ʻaho kotoa pē, pea ʻikai tokanga ia kiate kinautolu, naʻa nau [toki ]tala ia kia Hamani, ke vakai, pe ʻe tuʻumaʻu ʻae anga ʻa Motekiai: he naʻa ne tala kiate kinautolu ko e Siu ia.
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.
Pea ʻi he vakai ʻa Hamani naʻe ʻikai punou ʻa Motekiai, pe fakaʻapaʻapa kiate ia, naʻe pito ai ʻa Hamani ʻi he ʻita.
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.
Pea naʻe pehē ʻe ia ko e meʻa noa pē ke ala kia Motekiai tokotaha pē: he naʻa nau fakahā kiate ia ʻae kakai ʻo Motekiai: ko ia naʻe tokanga ʻe Hamani ke fakaʻauha ʻae ngaahi Siu kotoa pē ʻi he puleʻanga kotoa pē ʻo ʻAhasivelo, ʻio, ko e kakai ʻo Motekiai.
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.
ʻI he ʻuluaki māhina, ʻaia ko e māhina ko Nisani, ʻi hono hongofulu ma ua ʻoe taʻu ʻoe pule ʻoe tuʻi ko ʻAhasivelo, naʻa nau lī ʻa Puli, ʻaia ko e talotalo, ʻi he ʻao ʻo Hamani, ʻi he ʻaho hokohoko pe, pea mei he māhina ki he māhina, ʻo hoko ki hono hongofulu ma ua ʻae māhina, ʻaia ko e māhina ko ʻAtali.
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.
Pea naʻe pehē ʻe Hamani ki he tuʻi ko ʻAhasivelo, “ʻOku ai ʻae kakai ʻe taha kuo movetevete mamaʻo atu ʻo nofo tuku fakaholo ʻi he lotolotonga ʻoe kakai ʻi he ngaahi potu kotoa pē ʻo ho puleʻanga; pea ʻoku kehe ʻenau ngaahi fono ʻi he kakai kotoa pē; pea ʻoku ʻikai foki te nau tokanga ki he ngaahi fono ʻae tuʻi: ko ia ʻoku ʻikai ʻaonga ki he tuʻi ke kātaki ʻakinautolu.
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.
Kapau ʻoku lelei ki he tuʻi, tuku ke tohi koeʻuhi ke fakaʻauha ʻakinautolu: pea te u totongi ki he nima ʻokinautolu ʻoku tuku ki ai ʻae ngāue ni, ʻae taleniti siliva ʻe taha mano, ke ʻomi ki he ngaahi fale koloa ʻoe tuʻi.”
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.
Pea naʻe toʻo ʻe he tuʻi hono mama mei hono nima, pea ne foaki ia kia Hamani ko e foha ʻo Hamitata ko e tangata Ekaki, ko e fili ʻoe kakai Siu.
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.
Pea pehē ʻe he tuʻi kia Hamani, “Kuo foaki ʻae siliva kiate koe, mo e kakai foki, ke ke fai kiate kinautolu ʻaia ʻoku mata lelei kiate koe.”
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.
Pea naʻe toki ui ke fakataha ʻae kau tangata tohi ʻae tuʻi ʻi hono hongofulu ma tolu ʻoe ʻaho ʻoe ʻuluaki māhina, pea naʻe tohi ʻo fakatatau ki he meʻa kotoa pē naʻe fekau ʻe Hamani ki he kau matāpule mo e kau pule fonua ʻaia naʻe pule ʻi he ngaahi puleʻanga, pea ki he kau pule kotoa pē ʻoe kakai kotoa pē ʻi he ngaahi puleʻanga kotoa pē ʻo fakatatau mo e tohi ʻo ia, pea ki he kakai kotoa pē ʻo taau mo ʻenau lea: naʻe tohi ia ʻi he huafa ʻoe tuʻi ko ʻAhasivelo, pea fakamaʻu ʻaki ʻae mama ʻoe tuʻi.
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.
Pea naʻe ʻave ʻae ngaahi tohi ʻi he kau ʻave tohi ki he ngaahi puleʻanga kotoa pē ʻoe tuʻi, ke maumau, ke tāmateʻi, mo fakaʻauha, ʻae kakai Siu kotoa pē, ʻae iiki mo e motuʻa, ʻae tamaiki iiki, mo e kau fefine, ʻi he ʻaho pe taha, ʻio, ʻi hono ʻaho ʻe hongofulu mā tolu ʻi hono hongofulu mā ua ʻoe māhina, ʻaia ko e māhina ko ʻAtali, pea ke faʻao ʻae vete ʻanautolu.
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.
Ko hono hiki ʻoe tohi ko e fekau ke ʻatu ki he puleʻanga kehekehe kotoa pē, naʻe fakahā atu ki he kakai kotoa pē, koeʻuhi kenau tali teu pe ki he ʻaho ko ia.
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.
Naʻe ʻalu atu kituaʻā ʻae kau ʻave tohi, he naʻe fakavavevave ia ʻe he fekau ʻae tuʻi, pea naʻe fai ʻae fono ʻi Susani ko e kolo fakaʻeiki. Pea naʻe nofo hifo ʻae tuʻi mo Hamani ke inu: ka naʻe maveuveu ʻae kolo ko Susani.
