Eseta 3
1 Pea hili ʻae ngaahi meʻa ni naʻe fakahikihiki ʻe he tuʻi ko ʻAhasivelo ʻa Hamani ko e foha ʻo Hamitata ko e tangata Ekaki, mo ne hakeakiʻi ia, pea ʻai hono nofoʻa ke māʻolunga hake ʻi he ngaahi houʻeiki naʻe ʻiate ia.
After these things has King Ahasuerus exalted Haman son of Hammedatha the Agagite, and lifts him up, and sets his throne above all the heads who [are] with him,
2 Pea naʻe punou ʻae kau tamaioʻeiki kotoa pē, ʻaia naʻe ʻi he matapā ʻoe tuʻi, ʻonau fakaʻapaʻapa kia Hamani: he naʻe pehē pe ʻae fekau ʻae tuʻi ʻiate ia. Ka naʻe ʻikai punou ʻa Motekiai, pe fai fakaʻapaʻapa kiate ia.
and all servants of the king, who [are] in the gate of the king, are bowing and doing homage to Haman, for so the king has commanded for him; and Mordecai does not bow nor pay respect.
3 Pea pehē ai ʻe he kau tamaioʻeiki ʻae tuʻi, ʻaia naʻe nofo ʻi he matapā ʻae tuʻi kia Motekiai, “Ko e hā ʻoku ke talangataʻa ai ki he fekau ʻae tui?”
And the servants of the king, who [are] in the gate of the king, say to Mordecai, “Why [are] you transgressing the command of the king?”
4 Pea naʻe hoko ʻo pehē, ʻi heʻenau lea kiate ia ʻi he ʻaho kotoa pē, pea ʻikai tokanga ia kiate kinautolu, naʻa nau [toki ]tala ia kia Hamani, ke vakai, pe ʻe tuʻumaʻu ʻae anga ʻa Motekiai: he naʻa ne tala kiate kinautolu ko e Siu ia.
And it comes to pass, in their speaking to him, day by day, and he has not listened to them, that they declare [it] to Haman, to see whether the words of Mordecai stand, for he has declared to them that he [is] a Jew.
5 Pea ʻi he vakai ʻa Hamani naʻe ʻikai punou ʻa Motekiai, pe fakaʻapaʻapa kiate ia, naʻe pito ai ʻa Hamani ʻi he ʻita.
And Haman sees that Mordecai is not bowing and doing homage to him, and Haman is full of fury,
6 Pea naʻe pehē ʻe ia ko e meʻa noa pē ke ala kia Motekiai tokotaha pē: he naʻa nau fakahā kiate ia ʻae kakai ʻo Motekiai: ko ia naʻe tokanga ʻe Hamani ke fakaʻauha ʻae ngaahi Siu kotoa pē ʻi he puleʻanga kotoa pē ʻo ʻAhasivelo, ʻio, ko e kakai ʻo Motekiai.
and it is contemptible in his eyes to put forth a hand on Mordecai by himself, for they have declared to him the people of Mordecai, and Haman seeks to destroy all the Jews who [are] in all the kingdom of Ahasuerus—the people of Mordecai.
7 ʻI he ʻuluaki māhina, ʻaia ko e māhina ko Nisani, ʻi hono hongofulu ma ua ʻoe taʻu ʻoe pule ʻoe tuʻi ko ʻAhasivelo, naʻa nau lī ʻa Puli, ʻaia ko e talotalo, ʻi he ʻao ʻo Hamani, ʻi he ʻaho hokohoko pe, pea mei he māhina ki he māhina, ʻo hoko ki hono hongofulu ma ua ʻae māhina, ʻaia ko e māhina ko ʻAtali.
In the first month—it [is] the month of Nisan—in the twelfth year of King Ahasuerus, has one caused to fall Pur (that [is] the lot) before Haman, from day to day, and from month to month, [to] the twelfth, it [is] the month of Adar.
8 Pea naʻe pehē ʻe Hamani ki he tuʻi ko ʻAhasivelo, “ʻOku ai ʻae kakai ʻe taha kuo movetevete mamaʻo atu ʻo nofo tuku fakaholo ʻi he lotolotonga ʻoe kakai ʻi he ngaahi potu kotoa pē ʻo ho puleʻanga; pea ʻoku kehe ʻenau ngaahi fono ʻi he kakai kotoa pē; pea ʻoku ʻikai foki te nau tokanga ki he ngaahi fono ʻae tuʻi: ko ia ʻoku ʻikai ʻaonga ki he tuʻi ke kātaki ʻakinautolu.
And Haman says to King Ahasuerus, “There is one people scattered and separated among the peoples, in all provinces of your kingdom, and their laws [are] diverse from all people, and the laws of the king they are not doing, and for the king it is not profitable to permit them;
9 Kapau ʻoku lelei ki he tuʻi, tuku ke tohi koeʻuhi ke fakaʻauha ʻakinautolu: pea te u totongi ki he nima ʻokinautolu ʻoku tuku ki ai ʻae ngāue ni, ʻae taleniti siliva ʻe taha mano, ke ʻomi ki he ngaahi fale koloa ʻoe tuʻi.”
if to the king [it be] good, let it be written to destroy them, and ten thousand talents of silver I weigh into the hands of those doing the work, to bring [it] into the treasuries of the king.”
10 Pea naʻe toʻo ʻe he tuʻi hono mama mei hono nima, pea ne foaki ia kia Hamani ko e foha ʻo Hamitata ko e tangata Ekaki, ko e fili ʻoe kakai Siu.
And the king turns aside his signet from off his hand, and gives it to Haman son of Hammedatha the Agagite, adversary of the Jews;
11 Pea pehē ʻe he tuʻi kia Hamani, “Kuo foaki ʻae siliva kiate koe, mo e kakai foki, ke ke fai kiate kinautolu ʻaia ʻoku mata lelei kiate koe.”
and the king says to Haman, “The silver is given to you, and the people, to do with it as [it is] good in your eyes.”
12 Pea naʻe toki ui ke fakataha ʻae kau tangata tohi ʻae tuʻi ʻi hono hongofulu ma tolu ʻoe ʻaho ʻoe ʻuluaki māhina, pea naʻe tohi ʻo fakatatau ki he meʻa kotoa pē naʻe fekau ʻe Hamani ki he kau matāpule mo e kau pule fonua ʻaia naʻe pule ʻi he ngaahi puleʻanga, pea ki he kau pule kotoa pē ʻoe kakai kotoa pē ʻi he ngaahi puleʻanga kotoa pē ʻo fakatatau mo e tohi ʻo ia, pea ki he kakai kotoa pē ʻo taau mo ʻenau lea: naʻe tohi ia ʻi he huafa ʻoe tuʻi ko ʻAhasivelo, pea fakamaʻu ʻaki ʻae mama ʻoe tuʻi.
And scribes of the king are called, on the first month, on the thirteenth day of it, and it is written according to all that Haman has commanded, to lieutenants of the king, and to the governors who [are] over province and province, and to the heads of people and people, province and province, according to its writing, and people and people according to its tongue, in the name of King Ahasuerus it has been written and sealed with the signet of the king,
13 Pea naʻe ʻave ʻae ngaahi tohi ʻi he kau ʻave tohi ki he ngaahi puleʻanga kotoa pē ʻoe tuʻi, ke maumau, ke tāmateʻi, mo fakaʻauha, ʻae kakai Siu kotoa pē, ʻae iiki mo e motuʻa, ʻae tamaiki iiki, mo e kau fefine, ʻi he ʻaho pe taha, ʻio, ʻi hono ʻaho ʻe hongofulu mā tolu ʻi hono hongofulu mā ua ʻoe māhina, ʻaia ko e māhina ko ʻAtali, pea ke faʻao ʻae vete ʻanautolu.
and letters to be sent by the hand of the runners to all provinces of the king, to cut off, to slay, and to destroy all the Jews, from young even to old, infant and women, on one day, on the thirteenth of the twelfth month—it [is] the month of Adar—and to seize their spoil,
14 Ko hono hiki ʻoe tohi ko e fekau ke ʻatu ki he puleʻanga kehekehe kotoa pē, naʻe fakahā atu ki he kakai kotoa pē, koeʻuhi kenau tali teu pe ki he ʻaho ko ia.
a copy of the writing to be made law in each and every province is revealed to all the peoples, to be ready for this day.
15 Naʻe ʻalu atu kituaʻā ʻae kau ʻave tohi, he naʻe fakavavevave ia ʻe he fekau ʻae tuʻi, pea naʻe fai ʻae fono ʻi Susani ko e kolo fakaʻeiki. Pea naʻe nofo hifo ʻae tuʻi mo Hamani ke inu: ka naʻe maveuveu ʻae kolo ko Susani.
The runners have gone forth, hurried by the word of the king, and the law has been given in Shushan the palace, and the king and Haman have sat down to drink, and the city Shushan is perplexed.
