1 Hagi 12fu ikana Adarie nehaza ikamofo 13ni kna zupa kini ne'mo'ma huno Jiu vahera zamahe vagaregahaze hu'neana, ete rukrahe hu'za Jiu vahe'mo'za ha' vahe'zmia zamahe'naze.

Therefore, on the thirteenth day of the twelfth month, which as we have said before is called Adar, when all the Jews were prepared to be executed and their enemies were greedy for their blood, the situation turned around, and the Jews began to have the upper hand and to vindicate themselves of their adversaries.

2 Hagi Jiu vahe'mo'za maka kumatmimpina ha'ma huzmante'nia vahe'ma nona hu'za ha'ma huzmante'nagu eritru hu'za mani'naze. Hianagi mago'mo'e huno hara huozmante'naze. Na'ankure maka vahe'mo'za Jiu vahekura tusi koro hu'naze.

And they gathered together throughout each city, and town, and place, so as to extend their hands against their enemies and their persecutors. And no one dared to resist them, because their great power had pierced all the peoples.

3 Higeno mago mago provinsifima zamagima me'nea vahe'mo'zane, ranra kva vahe'mo'zane, gavana vahe'mo'zane, kini ne'mofo agi'ma eri'za ru kumate'ma nemaniza kva vahe'mo'zanena Jiu vahetega ante'naze. Na'ankure zamagra tusiza hu'za Modekainkura korora hu'naze.

For even the judges of the provinces, and the rulers, and the procurators, and everyone of dignity, who presided over every place and work, extolled the Jews for fear of Mordecai.

4 Na'ankure Modekaina kini ne'mo'a ragi amino avregeno kini ne'mofo kumapi umanigeno, agi agenkemo'a maka kaziga haruharu higeno, maka kna tusi himamu'ane ne' efore hu'ne.

For they knew him to be the leader of the palace and to have much power. Likewise, the fame of his name increased daily and flew everywhere through word of mouth.

5 Hagi Jiu vahe'mo'za ha'marezmantea vahera bainati kazinteti maka zamahe hana nehu'za, ha'marezmantea vahera na'anoma huzmante'naku'ma haza zana amne huzmante'naze.

And so the Jews struck their enemies like a great plague and killed them, repaying according to what they had prepared to do to them,

6 Hagi hanave vihuma hugagi'naza Susa rankumapina 500'a vahe Jiu vahe'mo'za zamahe fri'naze.

so much so that even in Susa they executed five hundred men, besides the ten sons of Haman the Agagite, the enemy of the Jews, and their names are these:

7 Ana nehu'za Parsandatama, Dalfonima, Aspatama,

Parshandatha, and Dalphon, and Aspatha

8 Poratama, Adaliama, Aridatama,

and Poratha, and Adalia, and Aridatha,

9 Parmastama, Arisaima, Aridaima, Vaizatama hu'za,

and Parmashta, and Arisai, and Aridai, and Vaizatha.

10 Jiu vahe'ma ha'marenentea ne' Hamedata nemofo Hemanina 10ni'a ne' mofavreramina zamahe fri hana hu'naze. Hianagi Jiu vahe'mo'za anama zamahaza vahe'mofo fenona e'ori'naze.

When they had slain them, they were unwilling to touch the spoils of their belongings.

11 Hagi ana kna zupama hankave vihuma hugagi'naza Susa rankumapima vahe'ma zamahaza agenkea kini ne'ma ome asamizageno'a,

And immediately the number of those who had been killed in Susa was reported to the king.

12 kini ne'mo'a anage huno kuini a' Estana asami'ne, Hanave vihuma hugagi'naza Susa rankumapina 500'a vahe'ene 10ni'a Hemani ne'mofavreraminena Jiu vahe'mo'za zamahaze. Hagi e'ina'ma ama kumapima hazana mago'a kumapina hago rama'a vahe zamahe fri'negahaze. Hianagi menina na'anku mago'enena kavenesifi nantahigege'na kami'neno? Nazankuroma nantahima kesana zana amne kamigahuanki nasamio.

He said to the queen, “In the city of Susa, the Jews have executed five hundred men, and also the ten sons of Haman. How many executions do you think that they have carried out in all the provinces? What more do you ask, and what do you wish, so that I may order it to be done?”

13 Higeno Esta'a kenona huno, Kini ne'mokama antahi'nanama knare'ma hina musema hanunka, menima hankezama hazaza hunka, okina Susa kumate'ma mani'naza Jiu vahetmina huizo huzmantege'za vahera nezamahe'za, Hemanina 10ni'a ne'mofavreramina zafare zamavufaga'a eri'za hantiho.

And she answered, “If it pleases the king, may power be granted to the Jews, so as to do tomorrow in Susa just as they have done today, and that the ten sons of Haman may be hung up the gallows.”

14 Anage higeno kini ne'mo'a ana hiho nehuno, kasege retro hige'za Hemanina 10ni'a ne'mofavreramina zafare zamavufaga'a eri'za hanti'naze.

And the king instructed that it should be so done. And immediately the edict was hung up in Susa, and the ten sons of Haman were hung up.

15 Ana nehu'za Adarie nehaza ikamofona 14ni zupa Jiu vahe'mo'za mago'ene 300'a vahe Susa rankumapina zamahe'nazanagi, kote'ma zamahe'naza vahetmimofo fenoma e'ori'nazaza hu'za e'ori'naze.

On the fourteenth day of the month Adar, the Jews gathered themselves together, and they executed in Susa three hundred men, but they did not seize their belongings from them.

16 Hagi ana'ma nehazageno'a kini ne'mo'ma ruga'ama kegavama hu'nea provinsifima nemani'za Jiu vahe'mo'za emeri atru hu'za zamagranena hahu'za zamagra'a zamagu'vazi'naze. E'inama hazafina ha'marezmantea vahetmina 75tauseni'a vahe zamahe fri'naze. Hianagi zamagranena anama zamahe friza vahe'mokizmi fenozana e'ori'naze.

Moreover, throughout all the provinces which were subject to the king’s dominion, the Jews made a stand for their lives, and they executed their enemies and their persecutors, so much so that the number of those who were killed amounted to seventy-five thousand, and yet no one touched any of their belongings.

17 Hagi Adarie nehaza ikamofona 13ni zupa, e'i ana zana hu'za vahera zamahete'za, 14ni knazupa manigsa hu'za mani'ne'za tusi ne'za kre'za nene'za musenkasea hu'naze.

Now the thirteenth day of the month Adar was the first day with all of the executions, and on the fourteenth day they ceased the killing. This day they established to be sacred, so that in all times hereafter they would be free for feasting, joyfulness, and celebration.

18 Hianagi Susama nemaniza Jiu vahe'mo'za 13nine 14ni kna zupaga ha' vahezminena hara hute'za, 15ni kna zupa tusi ne'za kre'za nene'za musena hu'naze.

But, as for those who were carrying out the killings in the city of Susa, they turned to killing on the thirteenth and fourteenth day of the same month. But on the fifteenth day they ceased to attack. And for that reason they established that day as sacred, with feasting and with gladness.

19 E'ina agafare osi kumatmimpima nemaniza Jiu vahe'mo'za Adariema nehaza ikamofona 14ni knazupa manigasa hu'za ne'zana kre'za nene'za musenkasea hu'za musezana omi ami nehaze.

But in truth, those Jews who were staying in unwalled towns and villages, appointed the fourteenth day of the month Adar for celebration and gladness, so as to rejoice on that day and send one another portions of their feasts and their meals.

20 Higeno Modekai'a ama ana zamofo agenkea avontafepi kreno kini ne' Serksisi'ma mika kegavama hu'nea provinsifima nemaniza Jiu vahetmintega atregeno vuno eno hu'ne.

And so Mordecai wrote down all these things and sent them, composed in letters, to the Jews who were staying in all the king’s provinces, as much to those in nearby places as to those far away,

21 Hagi ana avona kreno Adari ikamofona 14nine 15ni kna zupaga maka kafufina ne'zama kreta neneta musenkasema hu kna erinteho.

so that they would accept the fourteenth and fifteenth day of the month Adar for holy days, and always, at the return of the year, would celebrate them with sacred esteem.

22 Hagi e'i ana knarera ne'za kreta neneta musenkase nehuta, musezana omi ami nehuta, zamunte omne vahetaminena ana huzmanteho. E'ina huta knazampinti'ene ha' vahetimofo zamazampinti'ene tasunku zampinti'ma atreta atiramita e'nona zankura antahimigahune.

For on those days, the Jews vindicated themselves of their enemies, and their mourning and sorrow were turned into mirth and joy, so that these would be days of feasting and gladness, in which they would send one another portions of their feasts, and would grant gifts to the poor.

23 Ana hige'za Jiu vahe'mo'za hu'za, Amama eri agafama hu'nazana hu vava huta vugahune nehu'za, Modekaia'ma hiankegura mago zamarimpa hu'naze

And the Jews accepted as a solemn ritual all the things which they had begun to do at that time, which Mordecai had commanded with letters to be done.

24 Na'ankure korapara Agati ne' Hamedata nemofo Hemani'a Jiu vahe zamahe hana hunaku antahintahia retro hu'neane. Ana antahintahima retro'ma nehuno'a, purie nehaza satu zokago reno ke'negu anara hu'naze.

For Haman, the son of Hammedatha of Agag lineage, the enemy and adversary of the Jews, had devised evil against them, to kill them and to destroy them. And he had cast Pur, which in our language means the lot.

25 Hianagi kini ne'mofo avugama Esta'ma ne-egeno'a, Jiu vahetmima zamahenaku'ma Hemanima kefo antahi'zama retro'ma hu'neana, eri arukrahe hu'za agri ahe fri'naze. Ana nehu'za 10ni'a ne'mofavre'a zamahe'za zafare hanti'naze.

And after this, Esther had entered before the king, begging him that his efforts might be made ineffective by the king’s letters, and that the evil he intended against the Jews might return upon his own head. Finally, both he and his sons were fastened to a cross.

26 E'ina agafare ne'zama kre'za nene'za musema nehaza knagura Purimie hu'za satu zokago agire asamre'naze.

And so, from that time, these days are called Purim, that is, of the lots, because Pur, that is, the lot, was cast into the urn. And all things that had been carried out are contained in the volume of this epistle, that is, of this book.

27 E'ina avu'ava zana Jiu vahe'mo'za kasege eri retro hazageno zamagripinti'ma fore'ma hanaza vahete'ene ru vahe'mo'zama Jiu vahe'enema mani'naku'ma hanaza vahete'enena kasegegna huno me'nena avaririgahaze. Hagi Jiu vahe'mo'za huama hu'za, maka kafua mani okanegosunanki ama ana tare knarera ne'zana kreta neneta musena hugahune hu'za hu'naze.

And whatever they suffered, and whatever was altered afterwards, the Jews received for themselves and their offspring and for all who were willing to be joined to their religion, so that none would be permitted to transgress the solemnity of these two days, to which the writing testifies, and which certain times require, as the years continually succeed one another.

28 E'ina hu'negu mago mago nagapinti'ma forehu anante anante'ma hu'za vanaza vahe'mo'za maka kumatmimpina ama ana tare knarareke ne'zana kre'za nene'za musenkase hutere hu'za vugahaze. Hagi maka kafufina ama ana Purimi knama fore'ma hanige'za, mika Jiu vahe'mo'za zamageraokani manigasa antahitere hugahaze.

These are the days which no one ever will erase into oblivion, and which every province in the whole world, throughout each generation, shall celebrate. Neither is there any city wherein the days of Purim, that is, of lots, may not be observed by the Jews, and by their posterity, which has been obligated to these ceremonies.

29 Ana higeno Abihaili mofa kuini a' Esta'ene Modekaike henka mago avona kreke Purimi knama kegava hu nanekea eri hankaveti'na'e.

And Esther the queen, the daughter of Abihail, and Mordecai the Jew, also wrote a second letter, so that with all zealousness this day would be confirmed as customary for future generations.

30 Ana huteke ha'zama omnesige'za zamarimpa fruma hu'zama mani'naza nanekema kre'na'a avontafera 127ni'a provinsima kini ne' Serksisi'ma kegavama hu'nea kumatmimpima Jiu vahe'ma nemanizarega atrakeno vuno eno hu'ne.

And they sent to all the Jews, who had been stirred up in the one hundred twenty-seven provinces of king Artaxerxes, that they should have peace and receive truth,

31 Hagi Jiu ne' Modekai'ene kuini a' Esta'enema hu'na'a kante ante'za ana avoma kre atrakeno vuno eno'ma hia avomo'a Purimi knama ne-esige'zama kegavama hana zamofo ke eri hankaveti'ne. Hige'za Jiu vahe'mo'za ne'zama a'oma hu'za zavi krafama hu'naza zanku nentahi'za zamagragu'ene zamagripinti'ma fore'ma hanaza vahe'enenku hu'za ana knamo'a meno vugahie hu'za eri hankaveti'naze.

and observe the days of lots, and celebrate them with joy at their proper time, just as Mordecai and Esther had established. And they accepted these to be observed by themselves and by their offspring: fasting, and crying out, and the days of lots,

32 Hagi Purimi knama kegava hu kasegema kuini a' Esta'ma eri hanavetigeno kasegema fore'ma hu'nea agenkea ranra zantamima fore'ma nehige'za krenentaza avontafepi krentazageno me'ne.

and all things which are contained in the history of this book, which is called Esther.
