< Esetera 8 >
1 I A la, haawi ae la ke alii o Ahasuero i ko ka hale o Hamana ka enemi o na Iudaio no Esetera, ke alii wahine. A hele aku o Moredekai imua i ke alo o ke alii, no ka mea, ua hai aku o Esetera i kona wahi i pili ai ia ia.
On that day hath the king Ahasuerus given to Esther the queen the house of Haman, adversary of the Jews, and Mordecai hath come in before the king, for Esther hath declared what he [is] to her,
2 A wehe ae la ke alii i kona komolima, ka mea ana i lawe ai mai Hamana aku, a haawi iho la oia ia Moradekai. A hoonoho aku la o Esetera ia Moredekai maluna o ka hale o Hamana.
and the king turneth aside his signet, that he hath caused to pass away from Haman, and giveth it to Mordecai, and Esther setteth Mordecai over the house of Haman.
3 Olelo hou aku la o Esetera imua i ke alo o ke alii, a moe iho la ilalo ma kona mau wawae, a nonoi aku la ia ia me ka waimaka, e hoopau i ka hewa a Hamana, ke Agaga, a me ka manao ana i manao ku e mai ai i na Iadaio.
And Esther addeth, and speaketh before the king, and falleth before his feet, and weepeth, and maketh supplication to him, to cause the evil of Haman the Agagite to pass away, and his device that he had devised against the Jews;
4 Alaila, o mai la ke alii i ke kookooalii gula no Esetera. Ala ae la o Esetera iluna, a ku aku la imua o ke alii.
and the king holdeth out to Esther the golden sceptre, and Esther riseth, and standeth before the king,
5 I aku la, Ina i lealea ke alii, a ina i loaa ia'u ke alohaia mai e ia, a ina he mea pono i ko ke alii manao, a ina he maikai au i kona nana ana mai, e kakauia o hoole i na palapala i noonooia e Hamana, ke keiki a Hamadata ke Agaga, na mea ana i palapala aku ai e luku i na Iudaio, ma na aina a pau o ke alii.
and saith, 'If to the king [it be] good, and if I have found grace before him, and the thing hath been right before the king, and I [be] good in his eyes, let it be written to bring back the letters — a device of Haman son of Hammedatha the Agagite — that he wrote to destroy the Jews who [are] in all provinces of the king,
6 No ka mea, pehea la e hiki ai ia'u ke hoomanawanui i ka ike ana aku i ka hewa e hiki mai ana maluna o ko'u lahuikanaka? Pehea la hoi e hiki ai ia'u ke hoomanawanui i ka ike ana aku i ka make o ko'u hanauna?
for how do I endure when I have looked on the evil that doth find my people? and how do I endure when I have looked on the destruction of my kindred?'
7 Alaila, olelo mai la ke alii o Ahasuero ia Esetera, i ke alii wahine, a ia Moredekai, i ka Iudaio, Aia hoi, ua haawi aku au i ka hale o Hamana no Esetera, a na li lakou ia ia maluna o ke olokea, no ka mea, kau no oia i kona lima maluna o na Iudaio.
And the king Ahasuerus saith to Esther the queen, and to Mordecai the Jew, 'Lo, the house of Haman I have given to Esther, and him they have hanged on the tree, because that he put forth his hand on the Jews,
8 E palapala olua no na Iudaio, e like me ko olua makemake, a ma ka inoa hoi o ke alii, a e hoailona iho me ke komolima o ke alii; no ka mea, o ka palapala i kakauia ma ka inoa o ke alii, a hoailona i ke komolima o ke alii, aohe mea nana e hoole.
and ye, write ye for the Jews, as [it is] good in your eyes, in the name of the king, and seal with the signet of the king — for the writing that is written in the name of the king, and sealed with the signet of the king, there is none to turn back.'
9 Ia manawa, i ke kolu o ka malama, oia hoi ka malama o Sivana, i ka iwakaluakumamakolu o ka la, kiina ka poe kakanolelo a ka alii; a e like me na mea a pau a Moredekai i kauoha'i pela no i palapalaia 'ku ai i na Indiaio a me na kiaaina, a me na'lii aimoku, a me na'lii o na aina, mai Inia mai a Aitiopia, hookahi haneri me ka iwakaluakumamahiku aina, i kela aina i keia aina, he like me ka kana palapala iho, i kela lahuikanaka i keia lahuikanaka, ma ka lakou olelo, a i na Indaio, e like me ka lakou palapala ana, a ma ka lakou olelo ponoi.
And the scribes of the king are called, at that time, in the third month — it [is] the month of Sivan — in the three and twentieth of it, and it is written, according to all that Mordecai hath commanded, unto the Jews, and unto the lieutenants, and the governors, and the heads of the provinces, that [are] from Hodu even unto Cush, seven and twenty and a hundred provinces — province and province according to its writing, and people and people according to its tongue, and unto the Jews according to their writing, and according to their tongue.
10 A palapala aku no oia ma ka inoa o ke alii o Ahasuero, a hoailona iho la me ke komolima o ke alii, a hoouna oia i ka palapala ma ka lima o ko ke alii mau elele maluna o na lio, na mea holo maluna o na lio mama, a me na hoki maikai a na lio wahine i hanau ai.
And he writeth in the name of the king Ahasuerus, and sealeth with the signet of the king, and sendeth letters by the hand of the runners with horses, riders of the dromedary, the mules, the young mares,
11 A haawi mai la ka alii i na Iudaio ma na kulanakauhale a pau, e hoakoakoa pu, e malama i ko lakou oia, e luku, a e pepehi, a e hoolilo i ka make i ka poe koa o na kanaka, a me na mokuna ke hana ino mai ia lakou, i na keiki a me na wahine, a e lawe hoi i ko lakou waiwai, i waiwaipio:
that the king hath given to the Jews who [are] in every city and city, to be assembled, and to stand for their life, to cut off, to slay, and to destroy the whole force of the people and province who are distressing them, infants and women, and their spoil to seize.
12 Ma ka la hookahi, Ma na aina a pau o ke alii o Ahasuero, ma ka la umikumamakolu o ka malama umikumalaua, oia hoi ka malama o Adara.
In one day, in all the provinces of the king Ahasuerus, on the thirteenth of the twelfth month — it [is] the month of Adar —
13 A hoolahaia i na kanaka a pau, ke kope o ka palapala, i kanawai no na aina a pau, i makaukau na Iudaio e hoopai i ka hewa o ko lakou poe enemi, ke hiki aku ia la.
a copy of the writing to be made law in every province and province is revealed to all the peoples, and for the Jews being ready at this day to be avenged of their enemies.
14 Holo aku la na elele, ka poe i holo maluna o na lio mama, a me na hoki maikai, a na hoolalelaleia, a ua hooikaikaia, e ke kauoha a ke alii. A kauia no hoi ia kanawai ma Susana, ma ka pakaua.
The runners, riding on the dromedary, [and] the mules, have gone out, hastened and pressed by the word of the king, and the law hath been given in Shushan the palace.
15 A hele aku la o Moredekai, mai ke alo aku o ke alii, me ka aahu poni uliuli, a me ke keokeo, a me ka leialii gula nui, a me ka lole hooluelue keokeo, a me ka poni. Olioli iho la ke kulanakauhale o Susana, a hauoli ae la.
And Mordecai went out from before the king, in royal clothing of blue and white, and a great crown of gold, and a garment of fine linen and purple, and the city of Shushan hath rejoiced and been glad;
16 He malamalama ko na Iudaio, a me ka hauoli, a me ka olioli, a me ka mahaloia.
to the Jews hath been light, and gladness, and joy, and honour,
17 A ma na aina a pau, a ma na kulanakauhale a pau, kahi i hiki aku ai ka olelo a ke alii, a me kona kanawai, he hauoli ko na Iudaio, a me ka olioli, he ahaaina, a me ka la maikai. A nui no hoi na kanaka o ka aina i lilo i Iudaio, no ka mea, kau mai ka makau i na ludaio maluna o lakou.
and in every province and province, and in every city and city, the place where the word of the king, even his law, is coming, gladness and joy [are] to the Jews, a banquet, and a good day; and many of the peoples of the land are becoming Jews, for a fear of the Jews hath fallen upon them.
