Esther 8

1 On that day, King Achashyerosh gave the house of Haman, the Jews' enemy, to Esther the queen. Mordecai came before the king; for Esther had told what he was to her.

In len sacna Tokosra Ahasuerus el sang nu sel Kasra Esther ma nukewa su ma lal Haman, mwet lokoalok lun mwet Jew. Esther el fahkang nu sel tokosra lah Mordecai el sou nu sel, ac tukun pacl sac fahla, filfilla Mordecai elan ku in utyak nu ye mutun tokosra.

2 The king took off his ring, which he had taken from Haman, and gave it to Mordecai. Esther set Mordecai over the house of Haman.

Tokosra el eisla ring se lal ma sil lal oan kac (ring se ma el tuh eisla sel Haman) ac sang nu sel Mordecai. Esther el sang tuh Mordecai elan nununku ma nukewa lal Haman.

3 Esther spoke yet again before the king, and fell down at his feet, and begged him with tears to put away the mischief of Haman the Agagite, and his plot that he had devised against the Jews.

Na Esther el faksufi sisken nial tokosra, tung ac kwafe sel elan oru sie inkanek in sikulya pwapa sulallal ma Haman, su ma in fwilin tulik natul Agag, el orala tari in lain mwet Jew.

4 Then the king held out to Esther the golden scepter. So Esther arose, and stood before the king.

Tokosra el asroela scepter gold lal nu sel, ouinge Esther el tuyak ac fahk,

5 She said, "If it pleases the king, and if I have found favor in his sight, and the thing seem right to the king, and I am pleasing in his eyes, let it be written to reverse the letters devised by Haman, the son of Hammedatha the Agagite, which he wrote to destroy the Jews who are in all the king's provinces.

“Fin wo ac suwohs ye mutun Tokosra, ac el fin nunku keik ac pakomutuk, lela in simla sie pac mwe fahkak in sikulya ma sap lal Haman, wen natul Hammedatha su ma ke fwilin tulik natul Agag, ma fahk mu in sikiyukla mwet Jew nukewa in tokosrai uh.

6 For how can I endure to see the disaster that would come to my people? How can I endure to see the destruction of my relatives?"

Nga ac mutangla fuka ma koluk lulap se inge fin tuku nu fin mwet luk, ac sou luk sefacna elos anwuki?”

7 Then King Achashyerosh said to Esther the queen and to Mordecai the Jew, "See, I have given Esther the house of Haman, and him they have hanged on the gallows, because he laid his hand on the Jews.

Na Tokosra Ahasuerus el fahk nu sel Kasra Esther ac Mordecai, mwet Jew, “Liye, nga srupsrulak Haman ke sripen pwapa sulallal lal lain mwet Jew, ac nga sang lal Esther ma lal nukewa.

8 Write also to the Jews, as it pleases you, in the king's name, and seal it with the king's ring; for the writing which is written in the king's name, and sealed with the king's ring, may not be reversed by any man."

Tusruktu kutena mwe fahkak ma supweyukelik inen tokosra ac sil lun tokosra oan kac tia ku in tulokinyuki. Finne ouinge, komtal ku in simis kutena ma komtal lungse nu sin mwet Jew, ac komtal ku in simusla inek kac, ac siliya ke ring lun tokosra.”

9 Then the king's scribes were called at that time, in the third month Sivan, on the twenty-third day of the month; and it was written according to all that Mordecai commanded to the Jews, and to the satraps, and the governors and officials of the provinces which are from India to Ethiopia, one hundred twenty-seven provinces, to every province according to its writing, and to every people in their language, and to the Jews in their writing, and in their language.

Ma se inge sikyak ke len aklongoul tolu in malem aktolu, malem lun Sivan. Mordecai el solani mwet sim nukewa lun tokosra. El kaskas ac elos sim leta nu sin mwet Jew ac nu sin governor, mwet leum ac mwet fulat nukewa lun mutunfacl siofok longoul itkosr, mutawauk India me na nwe Ethiopia. Leta inge simla ke kas lun kais sie acn, ac ke luman sim lun kais sie acn, oayapa nu sin mwet Jew in kas lalos ac ouiyen sim lalos.

10 He wrote in the name of King Achashyerosh, and sealed it with the king's ring, and sent letters by courier on horseback, riding on royal horses that were bread from swift steeds.

Leta nukewa simla inel Tokosra Ahasuerus ac siliyuki ke ring lun tokosra. Utukelik sin mwet kasrusr fin horse na mulac, ma tohfla mwe kulansap lal tokosra.

11 In those letters, the king granted the Jews who were in every city to gather themselves together, and to defend their life, to destroy, to kill, and to cause to perish, all the power of the people and province that would assault them, their little ones and women, and to plunder their possessions,

Leta inge akkalemye lah tokosra el lela mwet Jew in siti nukewa in tukeni pwapa in sifacna loangelos. Mwet mweun lun kutena mutunfacl ku kutena acn fin tuku mweun nu selos, tulik natulos, ku mutan kialos, na mwet Jew elos ku in lainulos ac onelosla. Elos ku in sukelosla ac eis ma lalos nukewa tuh in ma wap.

12 on one day in all the provinces of King Achashyerosh, on the thirteenth day of the twelfth month, which is the month Adar.

Ma sap se inge ac fah mutawauk orekmakinyuk fin acn Persia nufon, fal nu ke len se oakwuki in anwuki mwet Jew, len aksingoul tolu in malem aksingoul luo, malem in Adar.

13 A copy of the letter, that the decree should be given out in every province, was published to all the peoples, that the Jews should be ready for that day to avenge themselves on their enemies.

Enenu in sulkakinyuk oana sie ma sap, ac in akkalemyeyuk nu sin mwet nukewa in mutunfacl nukewa, tuh mwet Jew nukewa fah akola in foloksak nu sin mwet lokoalok lalos ke len sac.

14 So the couriers who rode on royal horses went out, hastened and pressed on by the king's commandment. The decree was given out in the citadel of Shushan.

In oana oakwuk lal tokosra, mwet utuk kas elos kasrusr fin horse nutin tokosra, ac elos kasrusr ke mui na safla lalos. Ma sap sac oayapa sulkakinyuk in siti Susa.

15 Mordecai went out of the presence of the king in royal clothing of blue and white, and with a great crown of gold, and with a robe of fine linen and purple; and the city of Shushan shouted and was glad.

Mordecai el illa liki inkul sin tokosra, ac el nukum nuknuk folfol ac fasrfasr lun tokosra, ac nuknuk lik orek ke linen sroninmutuk srik eoa, ac el puela sifal ke sie nuknuk yunla ke gold. Na inkanek Susa ah ngisyak ke sasa ac pusren engan lulap.

16 The Jews had light, gladness, joy, and honor.

Mwet Jew elos arulana enganak ac mongi; elos insewowo ac pulakin mu elos ac kutangla.

17 In every province, and in every city, wherever the king's commandment and his decree came, the Jews had gladness, joy, a feast, and a good day. Many from among the peoples of the land became Jews; for the fear of the Jews was fallen on them.

In siti ac mutunfacl nukewa, ku kutena acn ma mwe fahkak lun tokosra ritiyuk we, mwet Jew elos oru tuh in sie len lulap lalos, ke elos orek kufwa ac arulana engan. Ma inge pwanang mwet puspis saya weang mwet Jew, ke sripen elos mutawauk in sangeng sin mwet Jew.
