Esetera 4

1 A IKE ae la o Moredekai i na mea a pau i hanaia'i, alaila, haehae iho la ia i kona aahu. a komo ia i ke kapa inoino, a me ka lehu, a puka aku la iwaho iwaena o ke kulanakauhale, a uwe iho la, he uwe nui ehaeha loa.

When Mordecai ascertained all that had been done, Mordecai rent his clothes, and put on sackcloth [strewed] with ashes, and went out into the midst of the city, and cried with a loud and bitter cry;

2 A hele oia imua o ka pukapa o ke alii; no ka mea, aole e komo iloko o ka pukapa o ke alii ka mea i aahuia i ke kapa inoino.

And thus he came up to the front of the king's gate; for none dared to enter into the king's gate clothed with sackcloth.

3 A ma na aina a pau kahi i laha aku ai ka olelo a ke alii, a me kona kanawai, nui loa iho la ke kanikau ana o na Iudaio, a me ka hookeai ana, a me ka uwe ana, a me ke kumakena ana; a nui iho la ka poe i moe me ke kapa inoino, a me ka lehu.

And in each and every province, in every place whither the king's decree and his law had reached, there was great mourning for the Jews, with fasting and weeping and wailing; and a sackcloth [strewed] with ashes became the bed of the great.

4 A hele aku la na wahine a me na luna o Esetera, a hai aku la ia ia. Alaila, ehaeha loa ke alii wahine, a hoouna ae la ia i ka aahu e hoaahu ai ia Moredekai, a e lawe aku hoi i kona kapa inoino. Aole nae ia i lawe ia mea.

Then came the maidens of Esther with her chamberlains and told it her; and the queen was exceedingly terrified; and she sent garments to clothe Mordecai, and to remove his sackcloth from him, but he accepted them not.

5 Alaila, hea ae la o Esetera ia Hataka, i kekahi luna o ke alii, ana i hoonoho ai ma ko ia la alo, a kauoha ae la ia ia no Moredekai, i ike oia ia mea, a me ke kumu o ia mea.

Then called Esther for Hatach, one of the king's chamberlains, whom he had appointed to attend upon her, and gave him a charge for Mordecai to know what this was, and why this was.

6 Alaila, hele aku la o Hataka ia Moredekai, ma ke alanui o ke kulanakauhale, ma ke alo o ka pukapa o ke alii.

So Hatach went forth to Mordecai unto the street of the city, which was before the king's gate.

7 Hai mai la o Moredekai i na mea a pau i loohia mai ai oia, a me ke kala a Hamana i olelo ai e haawi maloko o na waihonakala o ke alii, no na Iudaio, e luku ai ia lakou.

And Mordecai told him all that had happened unto him, and of the fixed sum of money which Haman had promised to weigh out into the treasuries of the king for the Jews, to destroy them.

8 A haawi no hoi ia ia i ke kope o ka palapala o ke kanawai i kauia ma Susana, e luku ia lakou, e hoike aku ai ia Esetera, a e hai aku ia ia, a e kauoha aku ia ia e hele aku iloko i ke alii e olelo aku ia ia, a e noi aku no kona poe kanaka.

Also the copy of the writing of the law that had been given out in Shushan to destroy them he gave to him, to show it unto Esther, and to tell her [all], and to charge her that she should go in unto the king, and to make supplication unto him, and to present a request before him for her people.

9 Hoi mai la o Hataka, a hai ae la ia Esetera i na olelo a Moredekai.

And Hatach came and told Esther the words of Mordecai.

10 Olelo hou ae la o Esetera ia Hataka, a ma o na la oia i kauoha'i ia Moredekai;

And Esther said unto Hatach, and gave him a charge unto Mordecai,

11 Ua ike no na kanaka a pau o ke alii, a me na lahuikanaka o na aina o ke alii, o ka mea hele i ke alii la, ma ka pahale oloko, o ke kane a me ka wahine, me ke kii ole ia mai, hookahi kanawai nona, e make ia, ke o ole mai ke alii i ke kookooalii gula ia ia, i mea e ola'i. Aole hoi au i kiina mai e hele i ke alii la, i keia mau la he kanakolu.

All the king's servants, and the people of the king's provinces, do know, that every one, whether man or woman, who should come unto the king into the inner court, who is not called, there is but one law for him, to put him to death, except the one to whom the king should hold out the golden sceptre, for he will be suffered to live; but I have not been called to come in unto the king these thirty days.

12 Hai mai la lakou ia Moredekai i na olelo a Esetera.

And they told Mordecai the words of Esther.

13 Alaila, kauoha ae la o Moredekai, e olelo aku ia Esetera, Mai manao oe iloko o kou naau, e pakele oe iloko o ka hale o ke alii, a e ole na Iudaio e a pau.

Then said Mordecai to bring this answer back to Esther, Imagine not in thy soul to be able to escape in the king's house out of all the Jews.

14 No ka mea, ina e hamau oe i kau olelo i keia manawa, alaila, loaa no i na Iudaio ka hoakeaia, a me ke ola, mai kahi e mai; a e make no oe, a me ko ka hale o kou makuakane. Malia paha o kou mea ia i hiki ai i ke aupuni no ka manawa e like me neia?

For if thou do indeed maintain silence at this time, enlargement and deliverance will arise to the Jews from another place; but thou and thy father's house will perish: and who knoweth whether thou hast not for a time like this attained to the royal dignity?

15 Alaila, kauoha ae la o Esetera, e olelo aku lakou ia Moredekai.

Then said Esther to bring this answer back to Mordecai,

16 O hele, a e hoakoakoa mai i na Iudaio a pau i loaa ma Susana nei, a e hookeai oukou no'u, mai ai, mai inu hoi, i na la ekolu, aole i ka po, aole i ke ao; a owau no kekahi e hookeai, a me ko'u poe wahine, a pela wau e komo aku ai i ke alii la: aole ia i ku pono i ke kanawai; aka, ina e make au, make no.

Go, assemble together all the Jews who are now present in Shushan, and fast ye for me, so that ye neither eat nor drink three days, either night or day; also I myself with my maidens will fast in like manner; and then will I go in unto the king, which is not according to the law; and if I then perish, I perish.

17 Alaila, hele aku la o Moredekai, a hana iho la e like me na mea a pau a Esetera i kauoha mai ai ia ia.

And Mordecai went about, and did in accordance with all that Esther had charged him.
