Eseda 2

1 Fa: no, hina bagade ea ougi hou gumibi galu, e da Fa: sedai ea hou hamoi amola hina bagade hi sema hamoi amo bu gebewane dadawa: lalu.

After these things, when the king's feelings were calmer, the thought of Vashti and what she had done and the order he had made against her, came back to his mind.

2 Amaiba: le, hina bagade ema gadenene fada: i sia: ne iasu dunu da ema amane naba ba: i, “Di da dunuga hame dawa: digi a: fini noga: idafa, ili hogomu da defeala: ?

Then the servants who were waiting on the king said to him, Let search be made for some fair young virgins for the king:

3 Di dia fifi asi gala huluane amo ganodini, eagene ouligisu dunu ilegema. Ilia da amo a: fini huluane oule misini, dia uda iligili diasu gagusi (moilai bai bagade Susa, amo ganodini diala) amoga oule misunu da defea. Ilia da amo a: fini, Hega: iai ema nina: hamoma: ne oule misa: ne sia: ma. (Hega: iai da hina bagade ea uda amo ouligisu. E da gulusu danai dunu esalu).

Let the king give authority to certain men in all the divisions of his kingdom, to get together all the fair young virgins and send them to Shushan, the king's town, to the women's house, under the care of Hegai, the king's servant, the keeper of the women: and let the things needed for making them clean be given to them;

4 Amasea, nowa a: fini dia hanaiwane ba: sea, amo di lale, Fa: sedai ea sogebi ema ima.” Hina bagade da amo fada: i sia: da noga: iyale dawa: beba: le, amoga fa: no bobogei.

And let the girl who is pleasing to the king be queen in place of Vashti. And the king was pleased with this suggestion; and he did so.

5 Yu dunu amo ea dio Modigai (Ya: ie egefe) da Susa moilai bai bagade amo ganodini esalu. Ea fi da Bediamini fi amola e da Gisi amola Simiai elagaga fi dunu esalu.

Now there was a certain Jew in Shushan named Mordecai, the son of Jair, the son of Shimei, the son of Kish, a Benjamite;

6 Musa: , Ba: bilone hina bagade amo Nebiuga: denese, da Yuda hina bagade amo Yihoiagimi afugili, Yelusaleme moilai bai bagade fisili Ba: bilone sogega udigili hawa: hamoma: ne oule asi. Amo esoga, e da eno Yuda dunu amola afugili asi. Amola Modigai da amo mugululi asi dunu amo ili gilisili asi.

Who had been taken away from Jerusalem among those who had been made prisoner with Jeconiah, king of Judah, when Nebuchadnezzar, king of Babylon, had taken him away.

7 Modigai da eya ea uda mano ea dio amo Eseda, amo da guluba: mano fofoi. Amo mano ea Hibulu diodafa da Hada: sa, amola e da uda a: fini noga: idafa ba: su.

And he had been a father to Hadassah, that is Esther, the daughter of his father's brother: for she had no father or mother, and she was very beautiful; and when her father and mother were dead, Mordecai took her for his daughter.

8 Hina bagade da amo sia: beba: le, ea ouligisu dunu da a: fini bagohame Susa moilai bai bagadega oule misi. Ilia da Eseda amola oule misini, Hega: iai (hina bagade ea uda gilisisu ouligisu dunu) amoea ouligima: ne i.

So when the order made by the king was publicly given out, and a number of girls had been placed in the care of Hegai in the king's house in Shushan, Esther was taken into the king's house and put in the care of Hegai, the keeper of the women.

9 Hega: iai da Eseda noga: i ba: i. E da Esedama nodoi ba: le, e da liligi noga: iga nina: hahamonesisi, amola ha: i manu noga: idafa i. Amola e da golasu sesei noga: i ema olei, amola a: fini fesuale ilia da Eseda fidima: ne, Hega: iai ea sia: i.

And he was pleased with the girl and was kind to her; and he quickly gave her what was needed for making her clean, and the things which were hers by right, and seven servant-girls who were to be hers from the king's house: and he had her and her servant-girls moved to the best place in the women's part of the house.

10 Eseda da Yu a: fini galu. Be Modigai ea fada: i sia: nababeba: le, Eseda da amo hou wamolegei.

Esther had not said what family or people she came from, for Mordecai had given her orders not to do so.

11 Eso huluane, Modigai da Esedama liligi doaga: mu hou amo nabima: beale, hina bagade idua ilia gilisisu diasu gagoi midadi lalabo aliligisa lalalusu.

And every day Mordecai took his walk before the square of the women's house, to see how Esther was and what would be done to her.

12 Ilia da ode afae amoga, mae fisili, amo a: fini huluane ilima nina: hamosu. Oubi gafeyale ganodini, ilia a: finima susuligi meya udululasu. Amo fa: no ilia da oubi eno gafeyale ganodini gabusiga: susuligi (bolosame) amoga amo a: finima udululasu. Amalalu, ilia da a: fini afae afae amo hina bagade Segesisima oule ahoasu.

Now every girl, when her turn came, had to go in to King Ahasuerus, after undergoing, for a space of twelve months, what was ordered by the law for the women (for this was the time necessary for making them clean, that is, six months with oil of myrrh and six months with sweet perfumes and such things as are needed for making women clean):

13 A: fini afae afae da uda gilisisu diasu fisili, hina bagade ea diasuga asili, e da ea hanai liligi ga: musa: asi.

And in this way the girl went in to the king; whatever she had a desire for was given to her to take with her from the women's house into the house of the king.

14 E da hina bagade ea diasuga daeya asili, amola hahabe ilia da e uda gilisisu diasu eno amoga oule momafusu. Amogawi, gulusu danai dunu eno ea dio amo Sia: isaga: se da hina bagade ea gidisedagi uda ouligisu. Amo a: fini da bu hina bagadema bu hame ahoasu. Be hina bagade da ema hanaiba: le, e misa: ne sia: beba: le fawane bu ahoasu.

In the evening she went, and on the day after she came back to the second house of the women, into the keeping of Shaashgaz, one of the king's unsexed servants who had the care of the king's wives: only if the king had delight in her and sent for her by name did she go in to him again.

15 Eseda da A: biha: ile ea mano, amola e bogoloba, ea ola Modigai da e fofoi. Eseda da a: fini noga: i amola dunu huluane da ema nodoi. E da hina bagadema ahoanoba, e da abula Hega: iai (gulusu danai dunu amo da uda gilisisu ouligisu) amo ea sia: i defele abula ga: ne asi.

Now when the time came for Esther, the daughter of Abihail, his father's brother, whom Mordecai had taken as his daughter, to go in to the king, she made request for nothing but what Hegai, the king's servant and keeper of the women, had given her. And Esther was looked on kindly by all who saw her.

16 Ode fesuale amola oubi ganumu (amo oubi ea dio da Dibede) amo hina bagade Segesisi ea ouligibi odega, ilia Eseda amo hina bagade Segesisi ea diasuga oule asi.

So Esther was taken in to King Ahasuerus in his house in the tenth month, which is the month Tebeth, in the seventh year of his rule.

17 Hina bagade da Eseda baligili hanaiwane ba: i. E da Esedama hanai amo da oda a: fini ilima hanai baligi dagoi. E da hina bagade ea habuga amo Eseda ea dialumaga figisili, Fa: sedai ea musa: gagui sogebi Esedama i dagoi.

And Esther was more pleasing to the king than all the women, and to his eyes she was fairer and more full of grace than all the other virgins: so he put his crown on her head and made her queen in place of Vashti.

18 Amalalu, Segesisi da Eseda nodoma: ne, lolo bagade mai. Amoga e da eagene hina amola ouligisu dunu huluane hiougi. E da ea fifi asi gala dunu huluane helefima: ne eso ilegei, amola hahawane dogolegele liligi bagohame sagoi.

Then the king gave a great feast for all his captains and his servants, even Esther's feast; and he gave orders through all the divisions of his kingdom for a day of rest from work, and gave wealth from his store.

19 Amohaga, hina bagade da Modigai amo eagene ouligisu hawa: hamoma: ne ilegei.

And when the virgins came together in the second house of the women, Mordecai took his seat in the doorway of the king's house.

20 Be Eseda da Yu uda, be e da Modigai ea sia: i defele, amo sia: wamolegei. Ea uda manohadi eso amo defele, e da Modigai ea sia: nabasu.

Esther had still said nothing of her family or her people, as Mordecai had given her orders; for Esther did what Mordecai said, as when she was living with him.

21 Modigai da hina bagade diasuga eagene ouligisu hawa: hamonanu. Amo esohaga, Bigada: ina amola Dilese (ela da gulusu danai dunu amo da hina bagade ea sesei logo ga: su sosodo aligisu) ela da hina bagade Segesisi ema ougiba: le, e medole legemusa: ilegei.

In those days, while Mordecai was seated at the king's doorway, two of the king's servants, Bigthan and Teresh, keepers of the door, being angry, were looking for a chance to make an attack on King Ahasuerus.

22 Modigai da amo sia: ilegei nabalu, hina bagade uda Eseda ema olelei. Eseda da alofele Modigai ea ba: i liligi amo hina bagade Segesisi ema adoi.

And Mordecai, having knowledge of their purpose, sent word of it to Esther the queen; and Esther gave the news to the king in Mordecai's name.

23 Ilia da amo sia: bai hogole, abodelalu, sia: adole i da dafawane ba: i. Amaiba: le, ilia Bigada: ina amola Dilese ela galogoa efega bagele hegoa: nesi. Hina bagade da sia: beba: le, eagene ouligisu dunu ilia da amo hou huluane, fifi asi gala meloa dedei amo ganodini dedene legei.

And when the thing had been looked into, it was seen to be true, and the two of them were put to death by hanging on a tree: and it was put down in the records before the king.
