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.

At that time King Ahasuerus gave the property of Haman the Jews’ enemy to Queen Esther. Mordecai was made one of the king’s personal advisers, for Esther had disclosed his relationship to her.

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.

The king also drew off his signet ring, which he had taken from Haman. He gave it to Mordecai, and Esther placed Mordecai in charge of Haman’s property.

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.

Then Esther sought another audience with the king and fell at his feet and with tears begged him to avert the evil planned by Haman the Agagite and to frustrate his designs against the Jews.

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

The king held out to her the golden sceptre, and she arose 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.

“If it seems best to the king,” she said, “and if I have won his favor and he thinks it right, and if I please him, let written orders be given to revoke the dispatches devised by Haman son of Hammedatha the Agagite, which he wrote ordering the destruction of the Jews who are in all the king’s provinces.

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 can I bear to look upon the evil that will come to my people? How can I bear to see their destruction?”

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.

Then King Ahasuerus said to Queen Esther and to Mordecai the Jew, “See, I have given Esther the property of Haman, and they have hanged him on the gallows, because he laid hands upon 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.

Now you write on behalf of the Jews, as seems best to you, in the king’s name and seal it with the king’s signet ring. For a document that is written in the king’s name and sealed with the king’s signet ring cannot be revoked.”

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.

On the twenty-third day of the third month (that is the month of Sivan), the king’s secretaries were summoned and as Mordecai instructed an edict was issued to the Jews, to the satraps and provincial governors and the rulers of each of the one hundred twenty-seven provinces from India to Ethiopia in their own script and their own language, and to the Jews in their own script and language.

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.

Mordecai wrote in the name of King Ahasuerus. He sealed it with the king’s signet ring. Dispatches were sent by mounted couriers who rode the swift, noble steeds, bred of the royal studs.

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.

In this way the king permitted the Jews who were in every city to gather together and make a stand for their life, to destroy, to kill, and annihilate all the armed forces of any people or province that might be hostile to them, including their children and women, and to take their goods as plunder

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

throughout all the provinces of King Ahasuerus on that thirteenth day of the twelfth month (which is called 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.

A copy of the edict was to be published as a decree in every province – publicly displayed so that the Jews might be ready for that day and avenge themselves.

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.

So the couriers who rode the swift, noble steeds went out, hastened and impelled by the king’s commands! Meantime the decree had been given out in the royal palace at 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.

and Mordecai had gone out from the presence of the king in royal garments of violet and white and with a great crown of gold and with a robe of fine linen and purple. The people of Susa shouted and were glad.

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

To the Jews there came light and gladness and joy and honor.

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.

And in every province and city, wherever the king’s command and decree came, there was gladness and joy among the Jews and a holiday. Many of the peoples of the earth professed to be Jews, for fear of the Jews took possession of them.
