1 Hagi ana knazupage kini ne' Serksisi'a Jiu vahe'ma ha'ma rezmantea ne'mofo mopa'ama, noma'ama maka zama'anena kuini a' Esta eri nemino, Modekaina avate eri'za vahe avre'ne. Na'ankure kuini a' Esta'a kini nera asamino Modekaia nensaro mani'ne huno hu'ne.

On that day king, Artaxerxes gave the house of Haman, the adversary of the Jews, to queen Esther, and Mordecai entered before the king. For Esther had confessed to him that he was her paternal uncle.

2 Ana nehuno kini ne'mo'a amiteno ete eri'nea rinia Modekai ami'ne. Higeno Esta'a Modekaina nonku'ma kva vahe azeri oti'ne.

And the king took the ring, which he had ordered to be taken from Haman, and he handed it to Mordecai. And Esther appointed Mordecai over her house.

3 Ana huteno Esta'a mago'ane kini nete vuno, zavi ome neteno agafi umaseno kini nera agesu huno, Agagi ne' Hemani'ma Jiu vahe'ma zamahe hana'ma hunaku'ma retro'ma hu'nea nanekea eri atro huno hu'ne.

Not content with these things, she threw herself down at the king’s feet and wept, and, speaking to him, pleaded that he would give orders that the malice of Haman the Agagite, and his most wicked schemes, which he had contrived against the Jews, would be made ineffective.

4 Hagi anante kini ne'mo'a golire azota arusute amigeno Esta'a kini ne'mofo avuga oti'no,

But he, as was the custom, extended the golden scepter with his hand, which was the sign of clemency, and she rose up and stood before him.

5 amanage huno hu'ne, Kini ne'mokama musema nehunka, kavesi nantenka, kagesama antahisankeno kagri kavure'ma fatgoma hanigenka, Agati ne' Hemani'ma huno, Jiu vahe'ma maka kumapinti'ma zamahe hanama huke hu'nea naneke eri atregeno kagrama kegava hu'nana mopafina ana zana forera osino.

And she said, “If it pleases the king, and if I have found favor in his eyes, and my request is not seen to be disagreeable to him, I beg you that the former letters of Haman, the traitor and enemy of the Jews, by which he instructed them to be destroyed in all the king’s provinces, may be corrected by new letters.

6 Na'ankure nagrama nege'nugeno'ma vahenimo'ma e'inahu hazenkema erisage'na inankna hu'na frua hu'na manigahue. Hagi naga'ni'ama zamahesage'na haviza hugahue.

For how will I be able to endure the murder and execution of my people?”

7 Higeno kuini a' Estane Jiu ne' Modekainena amanage huno kini ne' Serksisi'a znasmi'ne, Hemani nonkumara ko Esta amugeno, Hemanina zafare ahe'za hanti'naze. Na'ankure agra Jiu vahetmina zamahe fanane huke hu'negu anara hu'noe.

And king Artaxerxes answered Esther the queen and Mordecai the Jew, “I have granted Haman’s house to Esther, and I have ordered him to be fastened to a cross, because he dared to lay hands on the Jews.

8 Hagi menina ama'na avona kini ne'mo'na nagire kreta avame'zana rinini'a rekamareta Jiu vahetega atrenkeno maka kaziga vuno eno hino. Na'ankure ko'ma kini ne'mo'na nagire'ma avoma kreno, nagri avame'zama rinima rekamrentea avontafera eri otregahaze.

Therefore, write to the Jews, just as it pleases you, in the king’s name, sealing the letters with my ring.” For this was the custom, that letters which were sent in the king’s name and were sealed with his ring, no one would dare to contradict.

9 Higeno 3 ikanku'ma Sivanie nehaza ikamofo 23 zupa kini ne'mofo avoma kre eri'za neku higeno, Modekaima hia kante anteno, Jiu vahetegama, ugota kva vahetegama, ranra kva vahetegama gavana vahetegama, mareri eri'za vaheteganena kreno atregeno maka 127ni'a provinsia Indiati vuno (Kus) Itiopia ome atre'nea kumatamintega vuno eno hu'ne. Hagi mago mago provinsifi vahetmintega zamagri'a zamagerupinti kretere nehuno, Jiu vahetega zamagri zamagerupinti kretre'ne.

Then the scribes and copyists were brought in, (now it was the time of the third month which is called Sivan, ) on the twenty-third day of the month, and letters were written, as Mordecai wanted, to the Jews, and to the governors, and procurators, and judges, who presided over the one hundred twenty-seven provinces, from India all the way to Ethiopia: to one province and another, to one people and another, in accordance with their languages and letters, and to the Jews, exactly as they were able to read and hear.

10 Hagi ana avona kini ne' Serksisi agifi kreno, avame'zana agri rinireti rekamarente'ne. Ana huteno ana avontafe tamina avoma erino vuno eno'ma hu vahetami huzmantege'za kini ne'mofo erizante'ma agamareno vuno eno'ma nehia hosi afutamimpi ana avona ame hu'za eri'za vu'za eza hu'naze.

And these letters, which were sent in the king’s name, had been signed with his ring, and were sent by swift couriers who were to rush in every direction, through all the provinces, so as to prevent the former letters with new messages.

11 Hagi ana avontafepina kini ne'mo'a Jiu vahera hu izo huzmanteno, magokepi ome atru hutma manitere hu'neta ha'ma vahe'mo'zama huramantesageta tamagra amne hara huzmanteta fenontamine a'netamine mofavre'taminena tamagura nevazita, ha' vahetamimofo fenozana erigahaze huno krentene.

The king commanded them to bring together the Jews throughout each city, and to instruct them to join together, so as to make a stand for their lives, and to execute and destroy all their enemies, with their wives and children and their entire houses, and to plunder their spoil.

12 Hagi ana'ma hanaza zamofo knama kini ne' Serksisima erinte'neana Adarie nehaza ikana 12fu ikankino, 13 knazupa ana zama hanazankna erinte'ne.

And one day of retribution was established throughout all the provinces, namely, the thirteenth of the twelfth month Adar.

13 Hagi ana nanekema kre'neana maka provinsifina kasegegna hu'za huama hanageno, ana knama esige'za Jiu vahe'mo'za trotra hu'za mani'ne'za ha' vahe'zamimo'za ha'ma eme huzmantesnage'za, nona hu'za hara huzmantegahaze.

And such was the content of the letter, so that it would be made known in all lands and nations, which are subject to the authority of king Artaxerxes, that the Jews have been made ready to be vindicated of their enemies.

14 Hagi kini ne'mo'a avoma erino vuno eno'ma hu vahetami huzmantege'za kini ne'mofo erizante'ma agamareno vuno eno'ma nehia hosi afutamimpi, ana avona ame huza eri'za vu'za e'za hu'naze. Hagi anahu nanekege Susa rankumapinena huama hu'naze.

And so the swift couriers departed in haste, carrying through the announcement, and the king’s edict was hung up in Susa.

15 Hagi Modekai'a kini vahe'mo'zama nentaniza za'za kukena hokonke'ene efeke kukena nentanino, golire fetori asenirera nentanino, fitunke nakre ku'a amega antanino kini ne'mofo avugatira atreno vige'za Susa rankumapina ana avoma kre'nea zantera musenkasena hu'naze.

But Mordecai, going forth from the palace and from the king’s presence, shone in royal apparel the color of hyacinth and of the sky, wearing a golden crown on his head, and clothed with a cloak of silk and purple. And all the city rejoiced and was joyful.

16 Hagi Jiu vahe'mokizmia, zamagu'afina muse zamo'a avitegeno, maka kaziga ra zamigi zami'naze.

But for the Jews, a new light seemed to rise; there was joy, honor, and dancing.

17 Hagi maka kazigane maka rankumapinena Jiu vahe'mo'za kini ne'mo'ma hiankema nentahi'za mago mani fruhu kna erinte'za ne'za kre'za nene'za, tusi musenkase nehazageno rama'a vahe'mo'za Jiu vahekese'naze. Na'ankure zamagra Jiu vahekura tusi koro hu'naze.

With all the peoples, cities, and provinces, wherever the king’s orders arrived, there was wonderful rejoicing, banquets and feasts, and a solemn holy day, so much so that many of the other nations joined themselves to their religious practices and ceremonies. For a great fear of the name of the Jews had overcome them all.
