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, which is the month of Adar, on the thirteenth day, when the king's law and decree were about to be carried out, on the day when the enemies of the Jews hoped to gain power over them, it was reversed. The Jews gained power 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 assembled in their cities throughout all the provinces of King Ahasuerus, to lay hands on those who tried to bring disaster on them. No one could stand against 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 officials of the provinces, the provincial governors, the governors, and the king's administrators, 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 house, and his fame spread throughout all the provinces, for the man Mordecai was becoming great.
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 attacked their enemies with the sword, killing and destroying them, and did as they pleased 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 the fortress of Susa itself the Jews killed and destroyed five hundred men.
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, Arisai, Aridai, 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.
and the ten sons of Haman son of Hammedatha, the enemy of the Jews. 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.
That day the number of those killed in the fortress of Susa, was reported to 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.
The king said to Queen Esther, “The Jews have killed five hundred men in the fortress of Susa, including 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 you. What is your request? It will be granted to you.”
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.
Esther said, “If it pleases the king, let the Jews who are in Susa be permitted to carry out this day's decree tomorrow also, and let the bodies of Haman's ten sons be hanged on 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.
So the king commanded that this be done. A decree was issued in Susa, and they hanged the ten sons of Haman.
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 came together on the fourteenth day of the month of Adar, and killed three hundred more men in Susa, but laid no hands on the 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.
The rest of the Jews who were in the king's provinces came together to defend their lives, and they got relief from their enemies and killed seventy-five thousand of those who hated them, but they did not lay their hands on the valuables of those they killed.
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 happened on the thirteenth day of the month of Adar. On the fourteenth day they rested and made that a day of feasting and gladness.
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 who were in Susa assembled together on the thirteenth and the fourteenth days. On the fifteenth day they rested and made it a day of feasting and gladness.
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.
That is why the Jews of the villages, who make their homes in the rural towns, observe the fourteenth day of the month of Adar as a day of gladness and feasting, and as a day on which they send gifts of food to one another.
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 recorded these things and sent letters to all the Jews who were in all the provinces of 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,
obligating them to keep the fourteenth and the fifteenth day of Adar 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.
These were the days when the Jews got relief from their enemies, and the month when their sorrow turned to joy, and mourning into a day of celebration. They were to make them days of feasting and gladness, and of sending gifts of food to one another, and 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 the Jews continued the celebration they had begun, doing what 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;
At that time Haman son of Hammedatha the Agagite, the enemy of all the Jews, had plotted against the Jews to destroy them, and he threw Pur (that is, he threw lots), to crush and 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 orders by letters that the wicked plan Haman developed against the Jews should come back on 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,
Therefore they called these days Purim, after the name of Pur. Because of everything that was written in this letter, and everything that they had seen and that had happened to them,
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 accepted a new custom and duty. This custom would be for themselves, their descendants, and everyone who joined them. It would be that they would celebrate these two days every year. They would celebrate them in a certain way and at the same time 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.
These days were to be celebrated and observed in every generation, every family, every province, and every city. These Jews and their descendants would never cease to faithfully observe these days of Purim, so that they should never forget them.
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 daughter of Abihail and Mordecai the Jew wrote with full authority and confirmed this second letter about 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,
Letters were sent to all the Jews in the 127 provinces of the kingdom of Ahasuerus, wishing the Jews safety and truth.
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.
These letters confirmed the days of Purim at their appointed times, as Mordecai the Jew and Queen Esther obligated the Jews. The Jews accepted this obligation for themselves and their descendants, just as also they accepted times of fasting and lamenting.
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.
The command of Esther confirmed these regulations regarding Purim, and it was written in the book.
