< 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 wrath of King Achashyerosh was pacified, he remembered Vashti, and what she had done, and what was decreed against her.
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 king's servants who served him said, "Let beautiful young virgins be sought 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 appoint officers in all the provinces of his kingdom, that they may gather together all the beautiful young virgins to the citadel of Shushan, to the women's house, to the custody of Hegai the king's eunuch, keeper of the women. Let cosmetics be given 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 maiden who pleases the king be queen instead of Vashti." The thing pleased the king, 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.
There was a certain Jew in the citadel of Shushan, whose name was 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 carried away from Jerusalem with the captives who had been carried away with Jeconiah king of Judah, whom Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon had carried 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.
He brought up Hadassah, that is, Esther, his uncle's daughter; for she had neither father nor mother. The maiden was fair and beautiful; and when her father and mother were dead, Mordecai took her for his own 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 it happened, when the king's commandment and his decree was heard, and when many maidens were gathered together to the citadel of Shushan, to the custody of Hegai, that Esther was taken into the king's house, to the custody of Hegai, 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.
The maiden pleased him, and she obtained kindness from him. He quickly gave her cosmetics and her portions of food, and the seven choice maidens who were to be given her out of the king's house. He moved her and her maidens to the best place in the women's house.
10 Eseda da Yu a: fini galu. Be Modigai ea fada: i sia: nababeba: le, Eseda da amo hou wamolegei.
Esther had not made known her people nor her relatives, because Mordecai had instructed her that she should not make it known.
11 Eso huluane, Modigai da Esedama liligi doaga: mu hou amo nabima: beale, hina bagade idua ilia gilisisu diasu gagoi midadi lalabo aliligisa lalalusu.
Mordecai walked every day in front of the court of the women's house, to find out how Esther did, and what would become of 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.
Each young woman's turn came to go in to King Achashyerosh after her purification for twelve months (for so were the days of their purification accomplished, six months with oil of myrrh, and six months with sweet fragrances and with preparations for beautifying women).
13 A: fini afae afae da uda gilisisu diasu fisili, hina bagade ea diasuga asili, e da ea hanai liligi ga: musa: asi.
The young woman then came to the king like this: whatever she desired was given her to go with her out of the women's house to the king's house.
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 next day she returned into the second women's house, to the custody of Shaashgaz, the king's eunuch, who kept the secondary wives. She came in to the king no more, unless the king delighted in her, and she was called by name.
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 turn of Esther, the daughter of Abihail the uncle of Mordecai, who had taken her for his daughter, came to go in to the king, she required nothing but what Hegai the king's eunuch, the keeper of the women, advised. Esther obtained favor in the sight of all those who looked at 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 to King Achashyerosh into his royal house in the tenth month, which is the month Tebeth, in the seventh year of his reign.
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.
The king loved Esther more than all the women, and she obtained favor and kindness in his sight more than all the virgins; so that he set the royal crown on her head, and made her queen instead 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 made a great feast for all his officials and his servants, even Esther's feast; and he proclaimed a holiday in the provinces, and gave gifts according to the king's bounty.
19 Amohaga, hina bagade da Modigai amo eagene ouligisu hawa: hamoma: ne ilegei.
When the virgins were gathered together the second time, Mordecai was sitting in the King's Gate.
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 not yet made known her relatives nor her people, as Mordecai had commanded her; for Esther obeyed Mordecai, like she did when she was brought up by 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 sitting in the King's Gate, two of the king's eunuchs, Bigthan and Teresh, who were doorkeepers, were angry, and sought to lay hands on the King Achashyerosh.
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.
This thing became known to Mordecai, who informed Esther the queen; and Esther informed 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.
When this matter was investigated, and it was found to be so, they were both hanged on a tree; and it was written in the book of the chronicles in the king's presence.
