Esetera 9
1 I KA malama umikumamalua, oia hoi ka malama o Adara, i ka la umikumamakolu, i ka wa kokoke e hookoia'i ka olelo a me ke kanawai o ke alii, i ka la i manao ai na enemi o na Iudaio e lanakila maluna o lakou; ua hoololiia nae, a lanakila na Iudaio maluna o ka poe i inaina mai ia lakou;
Now in the twelfth month (that is the month of Adar), on the thirteenth day, when the king’s command and his decree was about to put into execution, on the day that the enemies of the Jews hoped to gain the mastery over them, then the tables were turned so that the Jews had the mastery over those who hated them.
2 Hoakoakoa'e la na Iudaio maloko o ko lakou mau kulanakauhale ma na mokuna a pau o ke alii o Ahasuero, e kau ka lima maluna o na mea i imi e hoopoino ia lakou. Aole kanaka i hiki ke ku imua o lakou, no ka mea, kau ae la ka makau ia lakou maluna o na kanaka a pau.
The Jews gathered together in the cities throughout all the provinces of King Ahasuerus, to attack anyone who tried to harm them. No one could withstand them, for the fear of them had fallen on all the peoples.
3 A o na'lii a pau o na aina, a me na kiaaina, a me na'lii aimoku, a me na mea hana i ka hana a ke alii, kokua no lakou i na Iudaio; no ka mea, kau ae la ka makau ia Moredekai maluna o lakou.
All the princes of the provinces and the satraps and the governors and they who attended to the king’s business, helped the Jews, because the fear of Mordecai had fallen on them.
4 No ka mea, ua kiekie o Moredekai maloko o ka hale o ke alii, a kaulana aku la ia ma na aina a pau. No ka mea, o ua kanaka la o Moredekai hoi, nui ka mahuahua ana o kona kiekie.
For Mordecai was great in the king’s palace, and as his power increased his fame spread throughout all the provinces.
5 A luku aku la na Iudaio i ko lakou poe enemi a pau, i ka hahau ana o ka pahikaua, a me ka pepehi, a me ka luku aku, a hana aku no hoi i ka poe inaina mai ia lakou mamuli o ko lakou makemake.
The Jews put all their enemies to the sword and, with slaughter and destruction, they did what they wanted to those who hated them.
6 A ma Susana, ma ka pakaua, luku aku la na Iudaio me ka pepehi aku, i elima haneri kanaka.
In Susa the capital the Jews killed five hundred people.
7 A o Paresanedata, a me Dalepona, a me Asepata,
They killed Parshandatha, Dalphon, Aspatha,
8 A o Porata, a me Adalia a me Aridata,
Poratha, Adalia, Aridatha,
9 A o Paremaseta, a me Arisai, a me Aridai, a me Vaiezata,
Parmashta, Arisia, Aridai, and Vaizatha,
10 O na keikikane he umi a Hamana ke keiki a Hamedata, ka enemi o na Iudaio, ka lakou i luku ai; aka, aole i kau lakou i ko lakou mau lima maluna o ka waiwai pio.
the ten sons of Haman the son of Hammedatha, the Jews’ enemy; but they did not take any plunder.
11 Ia la, laweia mai i ke alii ka heluna o ka poe i lukuia ma Susana, ma ka pakaua.
On that day the number of those who were slain in Susa was brought before the king,
12 I mai la ke alii ia Esetera, i ke alii wahine, Ua pepehi na Iudaio, me ka luku aku i elima haneri kanaka ma Susana ka pakaua nei, a me na keiki he umi a Hamana. Heaha hoi ka lakou i hana'i ma na aina e o ke alii? Heaha kau mea e nonoi mai ai? E haawiia no ia ia oe. Heaha hoi kau kauoha? E hanain no ia.
and the king said to Queen Esther, ‘The Jews have slain five hundred people in Susa, and the ten sons of Haman. What then have they done in the rest of the king’s provinces! Now what is your petition? It will be granted to you. What is your request? It will be done.’
13 Alaila, i aku la o Esetera, Ina i lealea ke alii, e haawiia mai na na Iudaio ma Susana nei, e hana i ka la apopo, e like me ke kanawai o neia la, a e liia na keiki he umi a Humana ma ke olokea.
‘If it please the king,’ Esther said, ‘let it be granted to the Jews who are in Susa to do tomorrow also according to this day’s decree. Let the bodies of Haman’s ten sons be hanged on the gallows.’
14 Kauoha ae ke alii e hanaia pela; a ma Susana ke kau ana o ia kanawai; a li iho la lakou i na keiki he umi a Hamana.
And the king commanded it to be done. A decree was given out in Susa and they hung the bodies of Haman’s ten sons on the gallows.
15 Hoakoakoa hou ae la na Iudaio ma Susana, i ka la umikumamaha o ka malama o Adara, a luku aku la i na kanaka ma Susana, i ekolu haneri; aka, aole lakou i kau i ko lakou lima ma ka waiwai pio.
The Jews who were in Susa gathered themselves together again on the fourteenth day of the month of Adar. They killed three hundred people in Susa. But they did not take any plunder.
16 A o ka poe Iudaio e, ma na mokuna o ke alii, hoakoakoa lakou, a malama hoi i ko lakou ola, a maha lakou i ko lakou poe enemi, a luku ae la no hoi i kanahikukumamalima tausani o ka poe i inaina mai ia lakou. Aka, aole lakou i kau i ko lakou lima ma ka waiwai pio.
And the other Jews who were in the king’s provinces gathered themselves together and fought for their lives and overcame their enemies. They killed seventy-five thousand who hated them. But they did not take any plunder.
17 I ka la umikumamakolu o ka malama o Adara, a i ka la umikumamaha, hoomaha lakou, a hoolilo ia la, i la ahaaina, a i la olioli.
This was on the thirteenth day of Adar. On the fourteenth day of the month Adar the Jews rested and made it a day of feasting and rejoicing.
18 Aka, o na Iudaio ma Susana, hoakoakoa lakou ma ka la umikumamakolu o ia malama, a ma ka la umikumamaha; a i ka la umikumamalima hoomaha lakou, a hoolilo ia la i la ahaaina, a i la olioli.
(But the Jews in Susa gathered on both the thirteenth and fourteenth day – and rested on the fifteenth day of the same month and made it a day of feasting and rejoicing.)
19 No ia mea, o na Iudaio ma na papu, ka poe i noho maloko o na kulanakauhale paa ole i ka pa, hoolilo lakou i ka la umikumamaha o ka malama o Adara i la olioli, a i la ahaaina, a i la maikai, a i la haawi wale i ka ai i kekahi i kekahi.
This is why the Jews who live in the country villages keep the fourteenth day of the month of Adar as a day of rejoicing and feasting and a holiday, and a day in which they send gifts of food to each other.
20 Kakau iho la o Moredekai i keia mau mea, a hoouna ae la i na palapaia i na Iudaio a pau, ma na aina a pau o ke alii, o Ahasuero, ma kahi kokoke, a ma kahi loihi aku,
Mordecai had these things recorded. He sent letters to all the Jews who were in all the provinces of the King Ahasuerus, both near and far.
21 E hoomau iwaena o lakou ka malama ana i ka la umikumamaha o ka malama o Adara, a me ka la umikumamalima, i kela makahiki i keia makahiki,
He told them to keep the fourteenth day of the month of Adar and also the fifteenth day every year,
22 I na la hoi i hoomahaia'i na Iudaio i ko lakou poe enemi, i ka malama hoi i hoololiia no lakou, mai ke kaumaha i ka olioli, a mai ke kanikau ana i ka hauoli, i hoolilo lakou ia mau la i la ahaaina, a i la olioli, a i la haawi wale i ka ai i kekahi i kekahi, a me ka manawalea aku i ka poe ilihune.
as the days on which the Jews had rest from their enemies, and the month which was turned from sorrow to gladness and from mourning into a feast day. They should make them days of feasting and gladness and of sending gifts of food to each other and of gifts to the poor.
23 Hoao na Iudaio e hana e like me ka lakou i hoomaka ai, a e like hoi me ka Moredekai i palapala aka ai ia lakou.
So what the Jews had begun to do they adopted as a custom, just as Mordecai had written to them.
24 No ka mea, o Hamana, ke keiki a Hamedata ke Agaga, ka enemi o na Iudaio a pau, ua imi hala mea ku e i na Iudaio e make ai lakou, a ua hoolei pura, oia hoi ka hailona, i mea e pepehi ai, a e luku ai hoi ia lakou;
For Haman the son of Hammedatha, the Agagite, the enemy of all the Jews, had plotted to destroy them. He had cast “Pur”, that is the lot, intending to consume them and to destroy them.
25 A hele aku la o Esetera imua i ke alo o ke alii, kauoha ae la ia ma na palapala, e hoihoiia maluna o kona poo iho ka manao hewa ana i manao ai i na Iudaio, a e liia hoi oia a me kana mau keikikane maluna o ke olokea.
But when the matter came before the king, he gave written orders that his wicked plot, which he had planned against the Jews, should come upon his own head, and that he and his sons should be hanged on the gallows.
26 Nolaila lakou i kapa ai ia mau la, o Purima, mamuli o ka inoa o Pura. Nolaila, no na huaolelo a pau iloko o ia palapala, a no na mea a lakou i ike ai o ia mau mea, a no na mea i hiki mai ai maluna o lakou,
This is why these days are called Purim, after the word Pur. Therefore because of all the words of this letter, as well as all they had seen, and all they had experienced,
27 Kau no na Iudaio i kanawai, a hoopaa hoi no lakou, a no ka lakou poe keiki, a no ka poe a pau i hai pa me lakou, i mea e haule ole ai, e malama lakou ia mau la elua, e like me ka palapala, a me ka manawa, i kela makahiki, i keia makahiki,
the Jews established and made it a custom for them, for their descendants, and for all who should join them, so that it might not be repealed, that they should continue to observe these two days as feasts each year,
28 I hoomanaoia'i ia mau la, i malamaia hoi i na hanauna a pau, e na ohana a pau ma na aina a pau, a ma na kulanakauhale a pau; i haule ole keia mau la Purima iwaena o na Iudaio, i ole hoi e pau ka hoomanao ana o ka lakou mamo i ua mau la la.
and that these days should be remembered and kept throughout every generation, every family, every province, and every city. And these days of Purim should not pass away from among the Jews nor the remembrance of them disappear among their descendants.
29 Alaila, o Esetera, ke alii wahine, ke kaikamahine a Abihaila, a me Moredekai, ka Iudaio, palapala ikaika aku laua e hoopaa i Keia plapala lua o ka Purima.
Queen Esther, the daughter of Abihail, gave Mordecai the Jew all authority in writing to confirm this second letter of Purim.
30 A hoouna ae la oia i na palapala, i na Iudaio a pau, i na aina he haneri me ka iwakaluakumamahiku o ke aupuni o Ahasuero, me na olelo aloha, a me ka oiaio,
He sent letters to all the Jews, to the hundred and twenty-seven provinces of the kingdom of Ahasuerus, wishing them peace and security,
31 E hoopaa ia mau la Purima, i ko lakou manawa pono e like me ka Moredekai, ka ka Iudaio, a me ka Esetera, ka ke alii wahine i kauoha ai ia lakou, a e like hoi me ka lakou i hooholo ai no lakou iho, a no na keiki me na mamo a lakou, i na mea hoi o ka hookeai ana, a me ka uwe ana.
to confirm these days of Purim in their proper times, to be observed as Mordecai the Jew and Queen Esther had directed and as the Jews had proscribed for themselves and their descendants, in the matter of the fastings and their cry of lamentation.
32 Na ke kanawai o Esetera i hoopaa keia mau mea o ka Purima; a kakauia iho la no hoi ia iloko o ka buke.
And the commands of Esther confirmed these matters of Purim; and it was written in the records.
