Esther 2
1 After these things, when the wrath of king Ahasuerus was pacified, he remembered Vashti, and what she had done, and what was decreed against her.
Kalpasan dagitoy a banbanag, idi bimmaawen ti pungtot ni Ari Ahasuero, nalagipna ni Vasti ken ti inaramidna. Nalagipna met ti maipapan iti bilin nga inaramidna a maibusor kenkuana.
2 Then said the king’s servants that ministered unto him, Let there be fair young virgins sought for the king:
Ket kinuna dagiti agtutubo a lallaki nga agserserbi kenkuana, “Iti biang iti ari, adda koma maaramid a panagbirok kadagiti napipintas a birhen a babbalasang.
3 and let the king appoint officers in all the provinces of his kingdom, that they may gather together all the fair young virgins unto Shushan the palace, to the house of the women, unto the custody of Hegai the king’s chamberlain, keeper of the women; and let their things for purification be given them;
Mangdutok koma ti ari kadagiti opisial kadagiti amin a probinsia iti pagarianna, a mangummong kadagiti amin a napipintas a birhen a babbalasang idiay harem iti palasio iti Susa. Maipaaywanda koma kenni Hegai, nga opisial ti ari, nga isu iti agay-aywan kadagiti babbai, ket bay-am isuna a mangted kadakuada kadagiti pagpapintas.
4 and let the maiden that pleaseth the king be queen instead of Vashti. And the thing pleased the king; and he did so.
Ti balasang a makaay-ayo iti ari ti agbalin a reyna a kasukat ni Vasti.” Daytoy a balakad ket nagustoan iti ari, ket inaramidna ngarud daytoy.
5 There was a certain Jew in Shushan the palace, whose name was Mordecai, the son of Jair, the son of Shimei, the son of Kish, a Benjamite,
Adda maysa a Judio iti siudad ti Susa nga agnagan iti Mardokeo a putot a lalaki ni Jair a puto a lalaki ni Simei a puto a lalaki ni Kis, a Benjamita.
6 who had been carried away from Jerusalem with the captives that had been carried away with Jeconiah king of Judah, whom Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon had carried away.
Naiyadayo isuna iti Jerusalem ta nairaman isuna kadagiti naitalaw a kas balud a kaduada Jehoiakim nga ari ti Juda, nga intalaw ni Nebucadnesar nga ari ti Babylonia.
7 And he brought up Hadassah, that is, Esther, his uncle’s daughter: for she had neither father nor mother, and the maiden was fair and beautiful; and when her father and mother were dead, Mordecai took her for his own daughter.
Inay-aywananna ni Hadassa, dayta ket ni Ester, a puto a babai ti ulitegna, gapu ta awan ti ama wenno inana. Napintas ti pammagi ti balasang ken makaay-ayo ti langana. Inbilang isuna ni Mardokeo a kas bukodna a putot a babai.
8 So it came to pass, when the king’s commandment and his decree was heard, and when many maidens were gathered together unto Shushan the palace, to the custody of Hegai, that Esther was taken into the king’s house, to the custody of Hegai, keeper of the women.
Idi a naipakaammo ti bilin ken linteg ti ari, adu a babbalasang ti naiyeg iti palasio ti Susa. Naipaaywanda kenni Hegai. Naipan met ni Ester iti palasio ti ari ken naipaaywan kenni Hegai, ti mangay-aywan kadagiti babbai.
9 And the maiden pleased him, and she obtained kindness of him; and he speedily gave her her things for purification, with her portions, and the seven maidens who were meet to be given her out of the king’s house: and he removed her and her maidens to the best place of the house of the women.
Naay-ayo ti balasang ni Hegai, ket nagun-odna ti paborna. Dagus nga impaayanna kadagiti pagpapintas ken iti bingayna a taraon. Nangidutok isuna kenkuana kadagiti pito nga adipen a babbai a naggapo iti palasio ti ari, ket inkabilna isuna ken dagiti adipen a babbai iti kasasayaatan a paset iti balay dagiti babbai.
10 Esther had not made known her people nor her kindred; for Mordecai had charged her that she should not make it known.
Awan ti siasinoman a nangibagaan ni Ester no siasino dagiti tattao wenno kakabagianna, ta imbilin kenkuana ni Mardokeo a saanna nga ibagbaga.
11 And Mordecai walked every day before the court of the women’s house, to know how Esther did, and what would become of her.
Inaldaw nga agsubli subli ni Mardokeo iti paraangan ti balay dagiti babbai, tapno maamoanna no ania ti mapaspasamak kenni Ester, ken no ania iti mabalin a maaramid kenkuana.
12 Now when the turn of every maiden was come to go in to king Ahasuerus, after that it had been done to her according to the law for the women twelve months (for so were the days of their purifications accomplished, [to wit], six months with oil of myrrh, and six months with sweet odors and with the things for the purifying of the women),
Idi dimteng ti batang ti tunggal babai a mapan kenni Ari Ahasuero—kas panagtulnog kadagiti annuruten para kadagiti babbai, lippasen ti tunggal babai ti sangapulo ket dua a bulan a panagpapintas, innem a bulan nga agusarda iti lana ti mira, ken innem a bulan nga agusarda ti pabanglo ken pagpapintas—
13 then in this wise came the maiden unto the king: Whatsoever she desired was given her to go with her out of the house of the women unto the king’s house.
inton mapan ti balasang iti ayan ti ari, maipaay kenkuana aniaman a tarigagayanna manipud iti balay dagiti babbai, nga itugotna iti palasio.
14 In the evening she went, and on the morrow she returned into the second house of the women, to the custody of Shaashgaz, the king’s chamberlain, who kept the concubines: she came in unto the king no more, except the king delighted in her, and she were called by name.
Sumrek isuna iti rabii, ket iti kabigatanna agsubli isuna iti maikadua a balay dagiti babbai, ken iti panangaywan ni Saasgas, ti opisial iti ari, a mangay- aywan kadagiti assawa iti ari. Saan isuna nga agsubli iti ari malaksid no naliwliwa kenkuana ti ari ket paayabanna manen isuna.
15 Now when the turn of Esther, the daughter of Abihail the uncle of Mordecai, who had taken her for his daughter, was come to go in unto the king, she required nothing but what Hegai the king’s chamberlain, the keeper of the women, appointed. And Esther obtained favor in the sight of all them that looked upon her.
Ita dimteng ti tiempo ni Ester (putot a babai ni Abihail, ti uliteg ni Mardokeo, a nangala kenkuana a kas bukodna a putot a babai) a mapan iti ayan ti ari, awan iti aniaman a kiniddawna no di, ti insingasing ni Hegai nga opisial ti ari a mangay-aywan kadagiti babbai. Ita nagun-od ni Ester ti pabor dagiti amin a nakakita kenkuana.
16 So Esther was taken unto king Ahasuerus into his house royal in the tenth month, which is the month Tebeth, in the seventh year of his reign.
Naiyeg ni Ester iti pagtaengan ni Ari Ahasuero iti maikasangapulo a bulan, a bulan ti Tebeth, iti maikapito a tawen iti panagturayna.
17 And the king loved Esther above all the women, and she obtained favor and kindness in his sight more than all the virgins; so that he set the royal crown upon her head, and made her queen instead of Vashti.
Inayat ti ari ni Ester a nalablabes ngem kadagiti amin a babbai, ket nagun-od ni Ester ti pabor ken panagayat iti sangoanan ti ari, a nalablabes ngem kadagiti amin a birhen, isu nga inkabil ti ari ti korona ti reyna iti ulo ni Ester ket insaad ti ari ni Ester a reyna a kasukat ni Vasti.
18 Then the king made a great feast unto all his princes and his servants, even Esther’s feast; and he made a release to the provinces, and gave gifts, according to the bounty of the king.
Nangangay ti ari iti dakkel a padaya para kadagiti amin nga opisial ken kadagiti adipenna, “Padaya ni Ester,” ket impaayna ti tulong kadagiti probinsia manipud kadagiti naibayad a buis. Nangited pay isuna kadagiti sagut a nabuyugan iti kinaimbag.
19 And when the virgins were gathered together the second time, then Mordecai was sitting in the king’s gate.
Ita, idi sangsangkamaysa a naummong manen dagiti birhen iti maikadua a tiempo, nakatugaw ni Mardokeo iti ruangan ti palasio ti ari.
20 Esther had not yet made known her kindred nor her people; as Mordecai had charged her: for Esther did the commandment of Mordecai, like as when she was brought up with him.
Saan pay nga imbaga ni Ester iti siasinoman iti maipanggep kadagiti kakabagianna wenno tattaona, a kas imbilin ni Mardokeo kenkuana. Intuloyna a tinungpal ti balakad ni Mardokeo, a kas inaramidna idi inaywananna isuna.
21 In those days, while Mordecai was sitting in the king’s gate, two of the king’s chamberlains, Bigthan and Teresh, of those that kept the threshold, were wroth, and sought to lay hands on the king Ahasuerus.
Kadagidiay nga al-aldaw, kabayatan nga agtugtugaw ni Mardokeo iti ruangan ti palasio ti ari, dua kadagiti opisyal ti ari ti nakaunget, da Bigtana ken Teres, a mangbanbantay iti ruangan iti ari, ket pinanggepda a dangran ni Ari Ahasuero.
22 And the thing became known to Mordecai, who showed it unto Esther the queen; and Esther told the king [thereof] in Mordecai’s name.
Idi naiparangarang dayta a banag kenni Mardokeo, imbagana kenni Reyna Ester, ket nakisarita ni Ester iti ari babaen iti nagan ni Mardokeo.
23 And when inquisition was made of the matter, and it was found to be so, they were both hanged on a tree: and it was written in the book of the chronicles before the king.
Nasukimat ken napaneknekan ti damag, ket nabitay nga agpada dagiti dua a lallaki. Naisurat ti pasamak Iti Libro Iti Pakasaritaan iti imatang iti ari.
