أَسْتِير 1
| وَحَدَثَ فِي أَيَّامِ أَحَشْوِيرُوشَ، هُوَ أَحَشْوِيرُوشُ ٱلَّذِي مَلَكَ مِنَ ٱلْهِنْدِ إِلَى كُوشٍ عَلَى مِئَةٍ وَسَبْعٍ وَعِشْرِينَ كُورَةً، | ١ 1 |
Now it came to pass in the days of Ahasuerus, (this [is] Ahasuerus who reigned from India even to Cush, [over] a hundred and seven and twenty provinces: )
| أَنَّهُ فِي تِلْكَ ٱلْأَيَّامِ حِينَ جَلَسَ ٱلْمَلِكُ أَحَشْوِيرُوشُ عَلَى كُرْسِيِّ مُلْكِهِ ٱلَّذِي فِي شُوشَنَ ٱلْقَصْرِ، | ٢ 2 |
[That] in those days, when the king Ahasuerus sat on the throne of his kingdom, which [was] in Shushan the palace,
| فِي ٱلسَّنَةِ ٱلثَّالِثَةِ مِنْ مُلْكِهِ، عَمِلَ وَلِيمَةً لِجَمِيعِ رُؤَسَائِهِ وَعَبِيدِهِ جَيْشِ فَارِسَ وَمَادِي، وَأَمَامَهُ شُرَفَاءُ ٱلْبُلْدَانِ وَرُؤَسَاؤُهَا، | ٣ 3 |
In the third year of his reign, he made a feast to all his princes and his servants; the power of Persia and Media, the nobles and princes of the provinces, [being] before him:
| حِينَ أَظْهَرَ غِنَى مَجْدِ مُلْكِهِ وَوَقَارَ جَلَالِ عَظَمَتِهِ أَيَّامًا كَثِيرَةً، مِئَةً وَثَمَانِينَ يَوْمًا. | ٤ 4 |
When he showed the riches of his glorious kingdom and the honor of his excellent majesty many days, [even] a hundred and eighty days.
| وَعِنْدَ ٱنْقِضَاءِ هَذِهِ ٱلْأَيَّامِ، عَمِلَ ٱلْمَلِكُ لِجَمِيعِ ٱلشَّعْبِ ٱلْمَوْجُودِينَ فِي شُوشَنَ ٱلْقَصْرِ، مِنَ ٱلْكَبِيرِ إِلَى ٱلصَّغِيرِ، وَلِيمَةً سَبْعَةَ أَيَّامٍ فِي دَارِ جَنَّةِ قَصْرِ ٱلْمَلِكِ. | ٥ 5 |
And when these days had expired, the king made a feast for all the people that were present in Shushan the palace, both for great and small, seven days, in the court of the garden of the king's palace;
| بِأَنْسِجَةٍ بَيْضَاءَ وَخَضْرَاءَ وَأَسْمَانْجُونِيَّةٍ مُعَلَّقَةٍ بِحِبَالٍ مِنْ بَزٍّ وَأُرْجُوانٍ، فِي حَلَقَاتٍ مِنْ فِضَّةٍ، وَأَعْمِدَةٍ مِنْ رُخَامٍ، وَأَسِرَّةٍ مِنْ ذَهَبٍ وَفِضَّةٍ، عَلَى مُجَزَّعٍ مِنْ بَهْتٍ وَمَرْمَرٍ وَدُرٍّ وَرُخَامٍ أَسْوَدَ. | ٦ 6 |
[Where were] white, green, and blue [hangings], fastened with cords of fine linen and purple to silver rings and pillars of marble: the beds [were of] gold and silver, upon a pavement of red, and blue, and white, and black marble.
| وَكَانَ ٱلسِّقَاءُ مِنْ ذَهَبٍ، وَٱلْآنِيَةُ مُخْتَلِفَةُ ٱلْأَشْكَالِ، وَٱلْخَمْرُ ٱلْمَلِكِيُّ بِكَثْرَةٍ حَسَبَ كَرَمِ ٱلْمَلِكِ. | ٧ 7 |
And they gave [them] drink in vessels of gold, (the vessels being diverse one from another, ) and royal wine in abundance, according to the state of the king.
| وَكَانَ ٱلشُّرْبُ حَسَبَ ٱلْأَمْرِ. لَمْ يَكُنْ غَاصِبٌ، لِأَنَّهُ هَكَذَا رَسَمَ ٱلْمَلِكُ عَلَى كُلِّ عَظِيمٍ فِي بَيْتِهِ أَنْ يَعْمَلُوا حَسَبَ رِضَا كُلِّ وَاحِدٍ. | ٨ 8 |
And the drinking [was] according to the law; none constrained: for so the king had appointed to all the officers of his house, that they should do according to every man's pleasure.
| وَوَشْتِي ٱلْمَلِكَةُ عَمِلَتْ أَيْضًا وَلِيمَةً لِلنِّسَاءِ فِي بَيْتِ ٱلْمُلْكِ ٱلَّذِي لِلْمَلِكِ أَحَشْوِيرُوشَ. | ٩ 9 |
Also Vashti the queen made a feast for the women [in] the royal house which [belonged] to king Ahasuerus.
| فِي ٱلْيَوْمِ ٱلسَّابِعِ لَمَّا طَابَ قَلْبُ ٱلْمَلِكِ بِٱلْخَمْرِ، قَالَ لِمَهُومَانَ وَبِزْثَا وَحَرْبُونَا وَبِغْثَا وَأَبَغْثَا وَزِيثَارَ وَكَرْكَسَ، ٱلْخِصْيَانِ ٱلسَّبْعَةِ ٱلَّذِينَ كَانُوا يَخْدِمُونَ بَيْنَ يَدَيِ ٱلْمَلِكِ أَحَشْوِيرُوشَ، | ١٠ 10 |
On the seventh day, when the heart of the king was merry with wine, he commanded Mehuman, Biztha, Harbona, Bigtha, and Abagtha, Zethar, and Carcas, the seven chamberlains that served in the presence of Ahasuerus the king,
| أَنْ يَأْتُوا بِوَشْتِي ٱلْمَلِكَةِ إِلَى أَمَامِ ٱلْمَلِكِ بِتَاجِ ٱلْمُلْكِ، لِيُرِيَ ٱلشُّعُوبَ وَٱلرُّؤَسَاءَ جَمَالَهَا، لِأَنَّهَا كَانَتْ حَسَنَةَ ٱلْمَنْظَرِ. | ١١ 11 |
To bring Vashti the queen before the king with the crown royal, to show the people and the princes her beauty: for she [was] fair to look on.
| فَأَبَتِ ٱلْمَلِكَةُ وَشْتِي أَنْ تَأْتِيَ حَسَبَ أَمْرِ ٱلْمَلِكِ عَنْ يَدِ ٱلْخِصْيَانِ، فَٱغْتَاظَ ٱلْمَلِكُ جِدًّا وَٱشْتَعَلَ غَضَبُهُ فِيهِ. | ١٢ 12 |
But the queen Vashti refused to come at the king's commandment by [his] chamberlains: therefore was the king very wroth, and his anger burned in him.
| وَقَالَ ٱلْمَلِكُ لِلْحُكَمَاءِ ٱلْعَارِفِينَ بِٱلْأَزْمِنَةِ، لِأَنَّهُ هَكَذَا كَانَ أَمْرُ ٱلْمَلِكِ نَحْوَ جَمِيعِ ٱلْعَارِفِينَ بِٱلسُّنَّةِ وَٱلْقَضَاءِ، | ١٣ 13 |
Then the king said to the wise men, who knew the times, (for so [was] the king's manner towards all that knew law and judgment:
| وَكَانَ ٱلْمُقَرِّبُونَ إِلَيْهِ كَرْشَنَا وَشِيثَارَ وَأَدْمَاثَا وَتَرْشِيشَ وَمَرَسَ وَمَرْسَنَا وَمَمُوكَانَ، سَبْعَةَ رُؤَسَاءِ فَارِسَ وَمَادِي ٱلَّذِينَ يَرَوْنَ وَجْهَ ٱلْمَلِكِ وَيَجْلِسُونَ أَوَّلًا فِي ٱلْمُلْكِ: | ١٤ 14 |
And the next to him [was] Carshena, Shethar, Admatha, Tarshish, Meres, Marsena, [and] Memucan, the seven princes of Persia and Media, who saw the king's face, [and] who sat the first in the kingdom; )
| «حَسَبَ ٱلسُّنَّةِ، مَاذَا يُعْمَلُ بِٱلْمَلِكَةِ وَشْتِي لِأَنَّهَا لَمْ تَعْمَلْ كَقَوْلِ ٱلْمَلِكِ أَحَشْوِيرُوشَ عَنْ يَدِ ٱلْخِصْيَانِ؟» | ١٥ 15 |
What shall we do to the queen Vashti according to law, because she hath not performed the commandment of the king Ahasuerus by the chamberlains?
| فَقَالَ مَمُوكَانُ أَمَامَ ٱلْمَلِكِ وَٱلرُّؤَسَاءِ: «لَيْسَ إِلَى ٱلْمَلِكِ وَحْدَهُ أَذْنَبَتْ وَشْتِي ٱلْمَلِكَةُ، بَلْ إِلَى جَمِيعِ ٱلرُّؤَسَاءِ وَجَمِيعِ ٱلشُّعُوبِ ٱلَّذِينَ فِي كُلِّ بُلْدَانِ ٱلْمَلِكِ أَحَشْوِيرُوشَ. | ١٦ 16 |
And Memucan answered before the king and the princes, Vashti the queen hath not done wrong to the king only, but also to all the princes, and to all the people that [are] in all the provinces of the king Ahasuerus.
| لِأَنَّهُ سَوْفَ يَبْلُغُ خَبَرُ ٱلْمَلِكَةِ إِلَى جَمِيعِ ٱلنِّسَاءِ، حَتَّى يُحْتَقَرَ أَزْوَاجُهُنَّ فِي أَعْيُنِهِنَّ عِنْدَمَا يُقَالُ: إِنَّ ٱلْمَلِكَ أَحَشْوِيرُوشَ أَمَرَ أَنْ يُؤْتَى بِوَشْتِي ٱلْمَلِكَةِ إِلَى أَمَامِهِ فَلَمْ تَأْتِ. | ١٧ 17 |
For [this] deed of the queen will come abroad to all women, so that they will despise their husbands in their eyes, when it shall be reported, The king Ahasuerus commanded Vashti the queen to be brought in before him, but she came not.
| وَفِي هَذَا ٱلْيَوْمِ تَقُولُهُ رَئِيسَاتُ فَارِسَ وَمَادِي ٱللَّوَاتِي سَمِعْنَ خَبَرَ ٱلْمَلِكَةِ لِجَمِيعِ رُؤَسَاءِ ٱلْمَلِكِ. وَمِثْلُ ذَلِكَ ٱحْتِقَارٌ وَغَضَبٌ. | ١٨ 18 |
[Likewise] will the ladies of Persia and Media say this day to all the king's princes, who have heard of the deed of the queen. Thus [will there arise] too much contempt and wrath.
| فَإِذَا حَسُنَ عِنْدَ ٱلْمَلِكِ، فَلْيَخْرُجْ أَمْرٌ مَلِكِيٌّ مِنْ عِنْدِهِ، وَلْيُكْتَبْ فِي سُنَنِ فَارِسَ وَمَادِي فَلَا يَتَغَيَّرَ، أَنْ لَا تَأْتِ وَشْتِي إِلَى أَمَامِ ٱلْمَلِكِ أَحَشْوِيرُوشَ، وَلْيُعْطِ ٱلْمَلِكُ مُلْكَهَا لِمَنْ هِيَ أَحْسَنُ مِنْهَا. | ١٩ 19 |
If it pleaseth the king, let a royal commandment go from him, and let it be written among the laws of the Persians and the Medes, that it be not altered, That Vashti come no more before king Ahasuerus; and let the king give her royal estate to another that is better than she.
| فَيُسْمَعُ أَمْرُ ٱلْمَلِكِ ٱلَّذِي يُخْرِجُهُ فِي كُلِّ مَمْلَكَتِهِ لِأَنَّهَا عَظِيمَةٌ، فَتُعْطِي جَمِيعُ ٱلنِّسَاءِ ٱلْوَقَارَ لِأَزْوَاجِهِنَّ مِنَ ٱلْكَبِيرِ إِلَى ٱلصَّغِيرِ». | ٢٠ 20 |
And when the king's decree which he shall make shall be published throughout all his empire, (for it is great, ) all the wives will give to their husbands honor, both to great and small.
| فَحَسُنَ ٱلْكَلَامُ فِي أَعْيُنِ ٱلْمَلِكِ وَٱلرُّؤَسَاءِ، وَعَمِلَ ٱلْمَلِكُ حَسَبَ قَوْلِ مَمُوكَانَ. | ٢١ 21 |
And the saying pleased the king and the princes; and the king did according to the word of Memucan:
| وَأَرْسَلَ كُتُبًا إِلَى كُلِّ بُلْدَانِ ٱلْمَلِكِ، إِلَى كُلِّ بِلَادٍ حَسَبَ كِتَابَتِهَا، وَإِلَى كُلِّ شَعْبٍ حَسَبَ لِسَانِهِ، لِيَكُونَ كُلُّ رَجُلٍ مُتَسَلِّطًا فِي بَيْتِهِ، وَيُتَكَلَّمَ بِذَلِكَ بِلِسَانِ شَعْبِهِ. | ٢٢ 22 |
For he sent letters into all the king's provinces, into every province according to the writing of it, and to every people after their language, that every man should bear rule in his own house, and that [it] should be published according to the language of every people.
