Eseta 9
1 Pea ʻi hono hongofulu mā ua ʻoe māhina, ʻaia ko e māhina ko ʻAtali ʻi hono hongofulu mā tolu ʻoe ʻaho ʻi ai, ʻi he hoko ʻo ofi ʻae fekau mo e tuʻutuʻuni ʻae tuʻi ke fakatonutonu, ʻi he ʻaho ko ia naʻe ʻamanaki ai ʻe he ngaahi fili ʻoe Siu ke nau maʻu ʻae mālohi kiate kinautolu, (ka naʻe liliu kehe ia, koeʻuhi naʻe hoko ʻo pule ʻae kakai Siu kiate kinautolu naʻe fehiʻa kiate kinautolu: )
十二月，乃亚达月十三日，王的谕旨将要举行，就是犹大人的仇敌盼望辖制他们的日子，犹大人反倒辖制恨他们的人。
2 Naʻe kātoa fakataha ʻakinautolu ʻe he kakai Siu ʻi honau ngaahi kolo ʻi he ngaahi puleʻanga kotoa pē ʻoe tuʻi ko ʻAhasivelo, ke puke ʻakinautolu ʻoku kumi ke fai kovi kiate kinautolu: pea naʻe ʻikai ha tangata naʻe faʻa talia ʻakinautolu: he naʻe tō ʻae manavahē kiate kinautolu ʻi he kakai kotoa pē.
犹大人在亚哈随鲁王各省的城里聚集，下手击杀那要害他们的人。无人能敌挡他们，因为各族都惧怕他们。
3 Pea naʻe tokoni ki he kakai Siu ʻae ngaahi tuʻi ʻoe ngaahi puleʻanga, mo e kau matāpule, mo e kau tokoni, mo e kau matāpule ʻae tuʻi; he naʻe tō kiate kinautolu ʻae manavahē kia Motekiai.
各省的首领、总督、省长，和办理王事的人，因惧怕末底改，就都帮助犹大人。
4 He naʻe hoko ʻo lahi ʻa Motekiai ʻi he fale ʻoe tuʻi, pea naʻe ongo atu ki he ngaahi puleʻanga kotoa pē ʻa ʻene ongolelei: he ko e tangata ni ko Motekiai naʻe fakaʻaʻau ai pe ia ke hakeakiʻi.
末底改在朝中为大，名声传遍各省，日渐昌盛。
5 Pea naʻe taaʻi pehē pē ʻe he kakai Siu honau ngaahi fili kotoa pē ʻaki ʻae tā ʻoe heletā, mo e tāmateʻi, mo e fakaʻauha, ʻonau fai ʻenau faʻiteliha kiate kinautolu naʻe fehiʻa kiate kinautolu.
犹大人用刀击杀一切仇敌，任意杀灭恨他们的人。
6 Pea naʻe tāmateʻi ʻo fakaʻauha ʻe he kakai Siu ʻae kau tangata ʻe toko nimangeau ʻi Susani ko e kolo fakaʻeiki.
在书珊城，犹大人杀灭了五百人；
7 [Pea naʻe tāmateʻi ]ʻa Pasanitata, mo Talifoni, mo ʻAsipata.
又杀巴珊大他、达分、亚斯帕他、
8 Mo Polate, mo ʻAtalia, mo ʻAlitata,
破拉他、亚大利雅、亚利大他、
9 Mo Pamasita, mo ʻAlisai, mo ʻAlitai, mo Vasisata,
帕玛斯他、亚利赛、亚利代、瓦耶撒他；
10 Ko e foha ʻe hongofulu ʻo Hamani ko e foha ʻo Hamitata, ko e fili ʻoe kakai Siu, naʻa nau tāmateʻi: ka naʻe ʻikai te nau ala honau nima ki he koloa vete.
这十人都是哈米大他的孙子、犹大人仇敌哈曼的儿子。犹大人却没有下手夺取财物。
11 Naʻe ʻomi ʻi he ʻaho ko ia ki he ʻao ʻoe tuʻi hono lau ʻokinautolu naʻe tāmateʻi ʻi Susani ko e kolo fakaʻeiki.
当日，将书珊城被杀的人数呈在王前。
12 Pea naʻe pehē ʻe he tuʻi kia Eseta ko e tuʻi fefine, “Kuo tāmateʻi mo fakaʻauha ʻe he kakai Siu ʻae kau tangata ʻe toko nimangeau ʻi Susani ko e kolo, mo e foha ʻe hongofulu ʻo Hamani; ko e hā kuo nau fai ʻi he ngaahi toenga puleʻanga ʻoe tuʻi? Pea ko eni, ko e hā haʻo kole? Pea ʻe tuku ia kiate koe: pe ko e hā haʻo tala ʻoku toe? Pea ʻe fai ia.”
王对王后以斯帖说：“犹大人在书珊城杀灭了五百人，又杀了哈曼的十个儿子，在王的各省不知如何呢？现在你要什么，我必赐给你；你还求什么，也必为你成就。”
13 Pea pehē ai ʻe Eseta, “Kapau ʻoku lelei ki he tuʻi, tuku ke ngofua ki he kakai Siu ʻaia ʻoku ʻi Susani ke nau fai ʻapongipongi ʻo hangē ko e tuʻutuʻuni ʻoe ʻaho ni, pea tuku ke tautau ʻae foha ʻe hongofulu ʻo Hamani ki he tautauʻanga.”
以斯帖说：“王若以为美，求你准书珊的犹大人，明日也照今日的旨意行，并将哈曼十个儿子的尸首挂在木架上。”
14 Pea naʻe fekau ʻe he tuʻi ke fai ia pea naʻe fai ʻae fono ʻi Susani; pea naʻa nau tautau ʻae foha ʻe hongofulu ʻo Hamani.
王便允准如此行。旨意传在书珊，人就把哈曼十个儿子的尸首挂起来了。
15 He naʻe fakataha ʻae kakai Siu naʻe ʻi Susani ʻi hono hongofulu mā fā ʻoe ʻaho ʻoe māhina ko ʻAtali, ʻonau tāmateʻi ʻae kau tangata ʻe toko tolungeau ʻi Susani; ka naʻe ʻikai te nau ala ki he vete.
亚达月十四日，书珊的犹大人又聚集在书珊，杀了三百人，却没有下手夺取财物。
16 Ka ko e ngaahi Siu niʻihi naʻe ʻi he ngaahi puleʻanga ʻoe tuʻi naʻa nau fakakātoa fakataha ʻakinautolu, ʻonau tuʻu tali tau koeʻuhi ko ʻenau moʻui, pea naʻa nau maʻu ʻae mālōlō mei honau ngaahi fili, pea tāmateʻi ʻi honau ngaahi fili ko e toko fitu mano mo e toko nima afe, ka naʻe ʻikai te nau ala ki he vete,
在王各省其余的犹大人也都聚集保护性命，杀了恨他们的人七万五千，却没有下手夺取财物。这样，就脱离仇敌，得享平安。
17 ʻI hono hongofulu mā tolu ʻoe ʻaho ʻoe [māhina ]ko ʻAtali: pea ʻi hono hongofulu mā fā ʻoe ʻaho ʻoe māhina ko ia naʻa nau mālōlō, ʻonau ngaohi ia ko e ʻaho kātoanga kai mo fakafiefia:
亚达月十三日，行了这事；十四日安息，以这日为设筵欢乐的日子。
18 Ka ko e kakai Siu naʻe ʻi Susani naʻa nau fakakātoa fakataha ʻakinautolu ʻi hono hongofulu mā tolu, pea ʻi hono hongofulu mā fā, pea ʻi hono hongofulu mā nima naʻa nau mālōlō, ʻo ngaohi ia ko e ʻaho kātoanga kai mo fakafiefia.
但书珊的犹大人，这十三日、十四日聚集杀戮仇敌；十五日安息，以这日为设筵欢乐的日子。
19 Ko ia ko e kakai Siu ʻoe ngaahi potu kakai, ʻaia naʻe nofo ʻi he ngaahi kolo taʻehanoʻā, naʻa nau ngaohi hono hongofulu mā fā ʻoe ʻaho ʻoe māhina, ko ʻAtali, ko e ʻaho fiefia mo kātoanga kai, mo e ʻaho lelei, ke feʻaveʻaki pē ʻae ngaahi ʻinasi kiate kinautolu.
所以住无城墙乡村的犹大人，如今都以亚达月十四日为设筵欢乐的吉日，彼此馈送礼物。
20 Pea naʻe tohi ʻe Motekiai ʻae ngaahi meʻa ni, ʻo ne fekau ʻae ngaahi tohi ki he kakai Siu kotoa pē naʻe ʻi he ngaahi puleʻanga kotoa pē ʻoe tuʻi ko ʻAhasivelo, ʻae ofi mo e mamaʻo,
末底改记录这事，写信与亚哈随鲁王各省远近所有的犹大人，
21 Ke fakatuʻumaʻu ʻae meʻa ni ʻiate kinautolu, koeʻuhi ke nau tauhi maʻu hono hongofulu ma fā ʻoe ʻaho ʻoe māhina ko ʻAtali, mo hono hongofulu ma nima ʻoe ʻaho, ʻi he taʻu kotoa pē,
嘱咐他们每年守亚达月十四、十五两日，
22 ʻAia ko e ngaahi ʻaho naʻe mālōlō ai ʻae kakai Siu mei honau ngaahi fili, mo e māhina naʻe foki ai ʻae mamahi meiate kinautolu ki he fiefia, pea mei he tangi ki he ʻaho lelei: koeʻuhi ke nau ngaohi ia ko e ongo ʻaho kātoanga kai mo fakafiefia, mo e feʻaveʻaki ʻoe ngaahi meʻa kiate kinautolu, mo e ngaahi meʻa foaki ki he masiva.
以这月的两日为犹大人脱离仇敌得平安、转忧为喜、转悲为乐的吉日。在这两日设筵欢乐，彼此馈送礼物，周济穷人。
23 Pea naʻe alea ʻae kakai Siu ke fai pe ʻo hangē ko ia kuo nau kamata, pea hangē ko ia naʻe tohi ʻe Motekiai kiate kinautolu;
于是，犹大人按着末底改所写与他们的信，应承照初次所守的守为永例；
24 Ko e meʻa ʻia Hamani ko e foha ʻo Hamitata, ko e tangata Ekaki, ko e fili ʻoe kakai Siu kotoa pē, ʻaia naʻa ne filioʻi kovi ki he kakai Siu ke fakaʻauha ʻakinautolu, mo ne fai ʻae “Puli,” ʻaia ko e talotalo, ke tāmateʻi ʻakinautolu, mo fakaʻauha ʻakinautolu;
是因犹大人的仇敌亚甲族哈米大他的儿子哈曼设谋杀害犹大人，掣普珥，就是掣签，为要杀尽灭绝他们；
25 Ka ʻi he haʻu ʻa Eseta ki he ʻao ʻoe tuʻi, naʻa ne fekau ʻi he ngaahi tohi, koeʻuhi ko ʻene filioʻi angakovi, ʻaia naʻa ne fakatupu ki he kakai Siu, ke foki mai ia ki hono ʻulu ʻoʻona, pea ke tautau ia mo hono ngaahi foha ki he tautauʻanga.
这事报告于王，王便降旨使哈曼谋害犹大人的恶事归到他自己的头上，并吩咐把他和他的众子都挂在木架上。
26 Ko ia naʻa nau ui ai ʻae ʻaho ko ia, ko Pulimi ko e hingoa mei he lea ko Puli. Ko ia ko e meʻa ʻi he ngaahi lea kotoa pē ʻoe tohi ni, pea mo ia naʻa nau mamata ki ai, ʻaia ʻoku kau ki he meʻa ni, pea mo ia naʻe hoko kiate kinautolu,
照着普珥的名字，犹大人就称这两日为“普珥日”。他们因这信上的话，又因所看见所遇见的事，
27 Naʻe tuʻutuʻuni ʻe he kakai Siu, pea fakahoko kiate kinautolu, pea ki honau hako, pea kiate kinautolu naʻe fakahoko ʻakinautolu kiate kinautolu, pea ke ʻoua naʻa ngata, kenau tauhi ʻae ongo ʻaho ni ʻo fakatatau ki heʻena tohi, pea fakatatau ki hono kuonga kuo tuʻutuʻuni ʻi he taʻu kotoa pē:
就应承自己与后裔，并归附他们的人，每年按时必守这两日，永远不废。
28 Pea koeʻuhi ke manatuʻi mo tauhi ʻae ongo ʻaho ni, ʻi he toʻutangata kotoa pē [tuku ]fakaholo, ʻi he faʻahinga kotoa pē, ʻi he puleʻanga kotoa pē, pea ʻi he kolo kotoa pē: pea ko e ongo ʻaho ʻoe Pulimi ke ʻoua naʻa ngata mei he kakai Siu, pea ʻoua naʻa mole ʻae manatu ki ai mei honau hako.
各省各城、家家户户、世世代代纪念遵守这两日，使这“普珥日”在犹大人中不可废掉，在他们后裔中也不可忘记。
29 Pea naʻe tohi ai ʻe Eseta ko e tuʻi fefine, ko e ʻofefine ʻo ʻApieli, mo Motekiai ko e Siu, ʻi he mālohi lahi, ke fakatuʻumaʻu hono ua ʻoe tohi ʻo Pulimi.
亚比孩的女儿—王后以斯帖和犹大人末底改以全权写第二封信，坚嘱犹大人守这“普珥日”，
30 Pea naʻa ne fekau ʻae ngaahi tohi mo e ngaahi lea ʻae melino mo e moʻoni, ki he kakai Siu kotoa pē, ki he ngaahi vāhenga fonua ʻe teau mā uofulu mā fitu ʻoe puleʻanga ʻo ʻAhasivelo,
用和平诚实话写信给亚哈随鲁王国中一百二十七省所有的犹大人，
31 Ke fakamoʻoni ki he ongo ʻaho ʻoe Pulimi ʻi hona kuonga, ʻo hangē ko e tuʻutuʻuni naʻe fekau ʻe Motekiai ko e Siu mo Eseta ko e tuʻi fefine, pea hangē ko ʻena tuʻutuʻuni moʻo kinaua pea maʻa honau hako, ko e meʻa ʻoe ʻaukai mo ʻenau tangi.
劝他们按时守这“普珥日”，禁食呼求，是照犹大人末底改和王后以斯帖所嘱咐的，也照犹大人为自己与后裔所应承的。
32 Pea ko e fono ʻa Eseta naʻe fakapapau ki he ngaahi meʻa ʻoe Pulimi; pea naʻe tohi ia ʻi he tohi.
以斯帖命定守“普珥日”，这事也记录在书上。
