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 Mordecai found out all that was done, Mordecai tore his clothes and put on sackcloth with ashes, and went out into the middle of the city, and wailed loudly and bitterly.

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.

He came even before the king’s gate, for no one is allowed inside the king’s gate clothed with sackcloth.

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.

In every province, wherever the king’s commandment and his decree came, there was great mourning amongst the Jews, and fasting, and weeping, and wailing; and many lay in sackcloth and ashes.

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.

Esther’s maidens and her eunuchs came and told her this, and the queen was exceedingly grieved. She sent clothing to Mordecai, to replace his sackcloth, but he didn’t 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.

Then Esther called for Hathach, one of the king’s eunuchs, whom he had appointed to attend her, and commanded him to go to Mordecai, to find out what this was, and why it was.

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

So Hathach went out to Mordecai, to the city square which was before the king’s 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.

Mordecai told him of all that had happened to him, and the exact sum of the money that Haman had promised to pay to the king’s treasuries for the destruction of the Jews.

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 also gave him the copy of the writing of the decree that was given out in Susa to destroy them, to show it to Esther, and to declare it to her, and to urge her to go in to the king to make supplication to him, and to make request before him for her people.

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

Hathach came and told Esther the words of Mordecai.

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

Then Esther spoke to Hathach, and gave him a message to Mordecai:

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 the people of the king’s provinces know that whoever, whether man or woman, comes to the king into the inner court without being called, there is one law for him, that he be put to death, except those to whom the king might hold out the golden sceptre, that he may live. I have not been called to come in to the king these thirty days.”

12 Hagi ana nanekea Modekaina ome asamizageno,

They told Esther’s words to Mordecai.

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.

Then Mordecai asked them to return this answer to Esther: “Don’t think to yourself that you will escape in the king’s house any 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 you remain silent now, then relief and deliverance will come to the Jews from another place, but you and your father’s house will perish. Who knows if you haven’t come to the kingdom for such a time as this?”

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

Then Esther asked them to answer Mordecai,

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, gather together all the Jews who are present in Susa, and fast for me, and neither eat nor drink three days, night or day. I and my maidens will also fast the same way. Then I will go in to the king, which is against the law; and if I perish, I perish.”

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

So Mordecai went his way, and did according to all that Esther had commanded him.
