Esther 9

Now in the twelfth month, that is, the month Adar, on the thirteenth day of the same, when the king's commandment and his decree drew near to be put in execution, in the day that the enemies of the Jews hoped to have power over them, (though it was turned to the contrary, that the Jews had rule over them that hated them;)

Na i te tekau ma rua o nga marama, ara i te marama Arara, i te tekau ma toru o nga ra, i te mea ka tata te mahia te kupu a te kingi, me tana ture, i te ra ano i hua ai nga hoariri o nga Hurai ka taea e ratou; otiia i puta ke ano, no te mea i taea e nga Hurai te hunga i kino ki a ratou;

The Jews gathered themselves together in their cities throughout all the provinces of the king Ahasuerus, to lay hand on such as sought their hurt: and no man could withstand them; for the fear of them fell upon all people.

Ka huihui nga Hurai ki o ratou pa i nga kawanatanga katoa a Kingi Ahahueruha, he mea kia pa ai nga ringa ki te hunga e whai ana kia mate ratou; a kihai tetahi i tu ki to ratou aroaro; kua tau hoki to ratou wehi ki nga iwi katoa.

And all the rulers of the provinces, and the lieutenants, and the deputies, and officers of the king, helped the Jews; because the fear of Mordecai fell upon them.

A, ko nga rangatira katoa o nga kawanatanga, me nga kawana, me nga kawana iti, me nga kaimahi i te mahi a te kingi, i awhina i nga Hurai; no te mea kua tau te wehi o Mororekai ki a ratou.

For Mordecai was great in the king's house, and his fame went out throughout all the provinces: for this man Mordecai waxed greater and greater.

He nui hoki a Mororekai i roto i te whare o te kingi, a i paku tona rongo ki nga kawanatanga katoa: kua nui haere hoki taua tangata, a Mororekai.

Thus the Jews smote all their enemies with the stroke of the sword, and slaughter, and destruction, and did what they would unto those that hated them.

Na patua iho e nga Hurai o ratou hoariri katoa ki te hoari, he parekura, he whakangaromanga; meatia ana e ratou ta ratou i pai ai ki te hunga i kino ki a ratou.

And in Shushan the palace the Jews slew and destroyed five hundred men.

I Huhana ano, i te whare kingi, e rima rau nga tangata i patua, i whakangaromia e nga Hurai.

And Parshandatha, and Dalphon, and Aspatha,

Ko Parahanarata ano, ko Rarapono, ko Ahapata,

And Poratha, and Adalia, and Aridatha,

Ko Porata, ko Araria, ko Arirata,

And Parmashta, and Arisai, and Aridai, and Vajezatha,

Ko Paramahata, ko Arihai, ko Arirai, ko Waietata,

The ten sons of Haman the son of Hammedatha, the enemy of the Jews, slew they; but on the spoil laid they not their hand.

Ko nga tama kotahi tekau a Hamana tama a Hamerata, a te hoariri o nga Hurai, patua iho e ratou; kihai ia o ratou ringa i pa ki nga taonga.

On that day the number of those that were slain in Shushan the palace was brought before the king.

I taua ra ka kawea ki te kingi te tokomaha o te hunga i patua ki Huhana, ki te whare kingi.

And the king said unto Esther the queen, The Jews have slain and destroyed five hundred men in Shushan the palace, and the ten sons of Haman; what have they done in the rest of the king's provinces? now what is thy petition? and it shall be granted thee: or what is thy request further? and it shall be done.

Na ka mea te kingi ki a Kuini Ehetere, E rima rau nga tangata kua patua nei e nga Hurai, huna rawa ki Huhana, ki te whare kingi, me nga tama kotahi tekau a Hamana; i pehea ra ratou i era kawanatanga a te kingi? he aha hoki tau e mea nei mau? ka hoatu hoki ki a koe. He aha ake tau e tono ai? a ka meatia.

Then said Esther, If it please the king, let it be granted to the Jews which are in Shushan to do to morrow also according unto this day's decree, and let Haman's ten sons be hanged upon the gallows.

Ano ra ko Ehetere, Ki te pai te kingi, tukua nga Hurai i Huhana apopo kia mea i nga mea o te ture o tenei ra, kia whakairihia nga tama kotahi tekau a Hamana ki runga ki te rakau.

And the king commanded it so to be done: and the decree was given at Shushan; and they hanged Haman's ten sons.

Na ka mea te kingi kia meatia tenei, a ka homai te ture i Huhana. Na whakairihia ana nga tama kotahi tekau a Hamana.

For the Jews that were in Shushan gathered themselves together on the fourteenth day also of the month Adar, and slew three hundred men at Shushan; but on the prey they laid not their hand.

A i huihui nga Hurai i Huhana i te tekau ma wha ano o nga ra o te marama Arara, a e toru rau nga tangata i patua e ratou i Huhana; kihai ia o ratou ringa i pa ki nga taonga.

But the other Jews that were in the king's provinces gathered themselves together, and stood for their lives, and had rest from their enemies, and slew of their foes seventy and five thousand, but they laid not their hands on the prey,

Na, ko era atu Hurai o nga kawanatanga a te kingi, i huihui ratou, a tu ana ki runga, kia ora ai ratou. Na ka ta o ratou manawa i o ratou hoariri, a patua iho e ratou o te hunga i kino ki a ratou e whitu tekau ma rima mano; kihai ano ia o ratou ringa i pa ki nga taonga.

On the thirteenth day of the month Adar; and on the fourteenth day of the same rested they, and made it a day of feasting and gladness.

I meinga tenei i te tekau ma toru ano o nga ra o te marama Arara; i te tekau ma wha hoki ka ta te manawa, waiho iho e ratou hei ra mo te kai hakari, mo te hari.

But the Jews that were at Shushan assembled together on the thirteenth day thereof, and on the fourteenth thereof; and on the fifteenth day of the same they rested, and made it a day of feasting and gladness.

Engari ko nga Hurai i Huhana, i huihui i te tekau ma toru o nga ra o taua marama, i te tekau ma wha ano, a no te tekau ma rima ka whakata; waiho iho e ratou hei ra mo te kai hakari, mo te hari.

Therefore the Jews of the villages, that dwelt in the unwalled towns, made the fourteenth day of the month Adar a day of gladness and feasting, and a good day, and of sending portions one to another.

Na reira nga Hurai e noho ana i nga pa koraha, i nga pa taiepakore, i mea ai ko te tekau ma wha o nga ra o te marama Arara hei ra mo te hari, mo te kai hakari, hei ra pai, e tuku tahua ai tetahi ki tetahi.

And Mordecai wrote these things, and sent letters unto all the Jews that were in all the provinces of the king Ahasuerus, both nigh and far,

Na ka tuhituhia e Mororekai enei mea katoa, a tukua ana e ia nga pukapuka ki nga Hurai katoa o nga kawanatanga katoa a Kingi Ahahueruha, ki nga mea e tata ana, ki nga mea i tawhiti,

To stablish this among them, that they should keep the fourteenth day of the month Adar, and the fifteenth day of the same, yearly,

Kia whakapumautia te tikanga ma ratou, kia whakaritea te tekau ma wha o nga ra o te marama Arara, me te tekau ma rima ano o nga ra o taua marama, i ia tau, i ia tau,

As the days wherein the Jews rested from their enemies, and the month which was turned unto them from sorrow to joy, and from mourning into a good day: that they should make them days of feasting and joy, and of sending portions one to another, and gifts to the poor.

Kia rite ki nga ra i ta ai te manawa o nga Hurai i o ratou hoariri, ki te marama ano i puta ke ai to ratou tangi hei hari, to ratou pouri hei ra pai, kia meinga hei ra kai hakari, hei ra hari, e tukua ai etahi wahi ma tetahi, ma tetahi, me etahi mea ano ma nga rawakore.

And the Jews undertook to do as they had begun, and as Mordecai had written unto them;

Na whakaae ana nga Hurai kia mahia nga mea i timataia nei e ratou, nga mea ano i tuhituhia e Mororekai ki a ratou.

Because Haman the son of Hammedatha, the Agagite, the enemy of all the Jews, had devised against the Jews to destroy them, and had cast Pur, that is, the lot, to consume them, and to destroy them;

He mea mo ta Hamana tama a Hamerata Akaki; ko te hoariri nei ia o nga Hurai katoa; whakaaroa ana e ia he he mo nga Hurai, kia huna ratou; a maka ana e ia he Puri, ara he rota mo ratou kia whakamotitia, kia huna;

But when Esther came before the king, he commanded by letters that his wicked device, which he devised against the Jews, should return upon his own head, and that he and his sons should be hanged on the gallows.

No te taenga ia o taua mea ki te aroaro o te kingi, ka whakahau ia, na te pukapuka, kia hoki te whakaaro kino i whakaaroa e ia mo nga Hurai ki runga ki tona pane ake, a taronatia ana ia, ratou ko ana tama, ki runga ki te tarawa.

Wherefore they called these days Purim after the name of Pur. Therefore for all the words of this letter, and of that which they had seen concerning this matter, and which had come unto them,

Na reira i huaina ai aua ra ko Purimi, no te ingoa nei, no Puri. Na reira ano, no nga kupu katoa o tenei pukapuka, no ta ratou ano i kite ai o tenei mea, no nga mea ano i pa ki a ratou,

The Jews ordained, and took upon them, and upon their seed, and upon all such as joined themselves unto them, so as it should not fail, that they would keep these two days according to their writing, and according to their appointed time every year;

I whakapumau ai nga Hurai i te tikanga, i whakaae ai hei mea ma ratou, ma o ratou uri, ma te hunga ano hoki e honoa ki a ratou, hei mea e kore e whakataka, kia whakaritea enei ra e rua, kia pera ano me te mea i tuhituhia, i te wa ano e tika ai i tenei tau, i tenei tau;

And that these days should be remembered and kept throughout every generation, every family, every province, and every city; and that these days of Purim should not fail from among the Jews, nor the memorial of them perish from their seed.

Kia maharatia ano enei ra, kia mahia e nga whakatupuranga katoa, e nga hapu katoa, e nga kawanatanga katoa, e nga pa katoa, kia kaua ano enei ra o Purimi e ngaro i roto i nga Hurai, me te maharatanga ki aua ra kia kaua e mahue i o ratou uri.

Then Esther the queen, the daughter of Abihail, and Mordecai the Jew, wrote with all authority, to confirm this second letter of Purim.

Katahi ka tuhituhi a Kuini Ehetere, ta Apihaira tamahine, a Mororekai Hurai ano, whakapau rawa to raua mana, kia whakapumautia tenei pukapuka tuarua o Purimi.

And he sent the letters unto all the Jews, to the hundred twenty and seven provinces of the kingdom of Ahasuerus, with words of peace and truth,

A i tukua e ia he pukapuka ki nga Hurai katoa, ki nga kawanatanga kotahi rau e rua tekau ma whitu o te kingitanga o Ahahueruha, no te rangimarie nga kupu, no te pono,

To confirm these days of Purim in their times appointed, according as Mordecai the Jew and Esther the queen had enjoined them, and as they had decreed for themselves and for their seed, the matters of the fastings and their cry.

Kia whakapumautia enei ra o Purimi i nga wa e tika ai, kia pera me ta Mororekai Hurai raua ko Kuini Ehetere i whakatakoto ai ma ratou; me ta ratou ano i whakatakoto ai hei tikanga ma ratou, ma o ratou uri, ara nga nohopuku, me ta ratou tangi.

And the decree of Esther confirmed these matters of Purim; and it was written in the book.

Na whakapumautia ana enei meatanga Purimi e te kupu a Ehetere; tuhituhia iho ki te pukapuka.
