Esta 4

1 Hagi ana maka zama haza nanekema Modekai'ma nentahino'a, kukena'a tagato tagatu nehuno, tanefa kateno nefreno rankuma amu'nompi nevuno ranke huno tusi zavi krafa huno vu'ne.

Now when Mardochai had heard these things, he rent his garments, and put on sackcloth, strewing ashes on his head: and he cried with a loud voice in the street in the midst of the city, shewing the anguish of his mind.

2 Hianagi kini ne'mofo kuma agu'afina uofre'neanki, ana kuma kafante umani'ne. Na'ankure zamasunku kukenama hu'ne'naza vahe'mo'za kini ne'mofo kumapina uofregahaze.

And he came lamenting in this manner even to the gate of the palace: for no one clothed with sackcloth might enter the king’s court.

3 Hagi kini ne'mo'ma hiankemo'ma maka kumate'ma vuno eno'ma hige'za Jiu vahe'mo'zama nentahi'za, ne'zana a'o hu'za nemani'za tusi zavi krafa hu'naze. Rama'a vahe'mo'za zamasunku kukena antanite'za tanefa kate'za nefre'za mani'naze.

And in all provinces, towns, and places, to which the king’s cruel edict was come, there was great mourning among the Jews, with fasting, wailing, and weeping, many using sackcloth and ashes for their bed.

4 Hagi ana nanekema Esta eri'za mofa'nene, eri'za vene'ne'amo'zama eme nesmizageno'a, Esta'a tusi antahintahi huno ome ru emeru nehuno, kukena antentegeno vu'neanagi Modekai'a ana kukena ontani'ne.

Then Esther’s maids and her eunuchs went in, and told her. And when she heard it she was in a consternation: and she sent a garment, to clothe him, and to take away the sackcloth: but he would not receive it.

5 Anante Esta'a, kini ne'mo'ma huntegeno'ma eme kegavama hunte'nea eri'za ne' Hatakina hunteno, Modekaia'ma zavi'ma netea zamofo agafa'a ome antahigenka ko hu'ne.

And she called for Athach the eunuch, whom the king had appointed to attend upon her, and she commanded him to go to Mardochai, and learn of him why he did this.

6 Higeno Hataki'a Modekaima rankuma amu'nompima kini ne'mofo kuma kafante'ma mani'nere vu'ne.

And Athach going out went to Mardochai, who was standing in the street of the city, before the palace gate:

7 Anama huno vigeno'a Modekai'a maka zama agrite'ma fore'ma hu'nea zamofo nanekea nesmino, Jiu vahe'ma zamahesire'ma Hamani'ma mizama sesigeno kini ne'mofo feno nompima ome antesaza zagomofo kea asami'ne.

And Mardochai told him all that had happened, how Aman had promised to pay money into the king’s treasures, to have the Jews destroyed.

8 Ana nehuno Susa rankumapima mani'naza Jiu vahe'ma zamahe hana'ma hanaza avoma kre'naza avontafe'enena Hatakina nemino anage hu'ne, erinka ama avontafera vunka omeri ani hunka Estana asmigeno, Esta'a vahe'amota tagri tagira erino kini netera vuno tazama hanigura nanekea ome huranteno.

He gave him also a copy of the edict which was hanging up in Susan, that he should shew it to the queen, and admonish her to go in to the king, and to entreat him for her people.

9 Hagi Hataki'a Estante vuno Modekai'ma hiankea ome asmi'ne.

And Athach went back and told Esther all that Mardochai had said.

10 Higeno Esta'a Hatakina asmino, Amanage hunka Modekaina ome asmio.

She answered him, and bade him say to Mardochai:

11 Kini ne'mofo eri'za vahe'mo'o, kini ne'mo'ma kegavama hu'nea kumateti vemo'o a'mo'ma, kini ne'mo'ma kema osunenifima kenaku'ma agri nompima esaza vahe'mofona magoke kasegege'za me'ne. E'i ana vahera ahe frigahaze. Hagi anama umrenerinigeno kini ne'mo'ma gorire azota'ama rusute amisia vahe ahe ofrigahie. Hagi kini ne'mo'a nagrikura eme nago huno osige'na hago 30'a kna mani'noe.

All the king’s servants, and all the provinces that are under his dominion, know, that whosoever, whether man or woman, cometh into the king’s inner court, who is not called for, is immediately to be put to death without any delay: except the king shall hold out the golden sceptre to him, in token of clemency, that so he may live. How then can I go in to the king, who for these thirty days now have not been called unto him?

12 Hagi ana nanekea Modekaina ome asamizageno,

And when Mardochai had heard this,

13 Modekai'a amanage huno kenona'a hu'ne. Kagra kini ne'mofo nompi mani'noankino mago zana navatera forera osugahie hunka kagesa ontahio. Maka Jiu vahe'motane kagri'enena tahe frigahaze.

He sent word to Esther again, saying: Think not that thou mayst save thy life only, because thou art in the king a house, more than all the Jews:

14 Hagi kagrama kema osuma mani'nankeno'a, Jiu vahe'ma zamazama hu'zamo'a ruregati egahie. Hianagi kagri'ene nagakanena otrekano tamino tahe vagaregahaze. Hagi kagra amanahu knafima tazama hananku kuinia mani'nane.

For if thou wilt now hold thy peace, the Jews shall be delivered by some other occasion: and thou, and thy father’s house shall perish. And who knoweth whether thou art not therefore come to the kingdom, that thou mightest be ready in such a time as this?

15 Anagema nentahino'a, Esta'a amanage huno Modekaina kenona hunte'ne,

And again Esther sent to Mardochai in these words:

16 Vunka Susa rankumapima mani'naza Jiu vahetmina ome zamavare atru hunka kini ne'ma ome kesuazankura 3'a knafina ne'zane tinena a'o huta mani'neta kenage'ene feru'enena nunamuna hiho. Nagri'enema nemaniza mofa'neramine nagranena anazanke huta ne'zana a'o hu'neta nunamuna hugahune. Ana hute'na kasegemo'a i'o hu'neanagi, vanugeno'ma nahe frisiana ha nahe frisianki, kini netera vugahue.

Go, and gather together all the Jews whom thou shalt find in Susan, and pray ye for me. Neither eat nor drink for three days and three nights: and I with my handmaids will fast in like manner, and then I will go in to the king, against the law, not being called, and expose myself to death and to danger.

17 Anage higeno Modekai'a vuno maka Estama huntea kante anteno ana ome hu'ne.

So Mardochai went, and did all that Esther had commanded him.
