Esther 2

1 Some time later, when the anger of King Xerxes had subsided, he remembered Vashti and what she had done, and what had been decreed against her.

Hagi ana zama huvagaregeno'a kini ne' Serksisina arimpa ahe'zamo'ma uramigeno'a, Vasti'ma hu'nea zanku agesa nentahino, Vasti'a kuinia omanigahie huno'ma huvempama hu'nea zanku agesa antahi'ne.

2 Then the king’s attendants proposed, “Let a search be made for beautiful young virgins for the king,

Hagi kini ne'mofo tava'oma'are'ma mani'ne'za knare antahintahima nemiza vene'nemo'za anage hu'naze, huge'za venema ovase'ne'nia hentofa agi agonane mofa'nerami hake'za avre'za eho hu'za hu'naze.

3 and let the king appoint commissioners in each province of his kingdom to assemble all the beautiful young women into the harem at the citadel of Susa. Let them be placed under the care of Hegai, the king’s eunuch in charge of the women, and let them be given beauty treatments.

Hagi kini ne'moka mago mago kumatera ranra kva vahetami zamazeri otitere huge'za venema omasenenia knarenare mofaneramina zamavare'za rankumate Susa enkeno, kini ne'moka eri'za ne' Hegai kegava huzmante'neno zamavufagama eri so'ema hanaza zana nezaminige'za zamavufaga eri so'e nehu'za knare'nare mofa'nea zoregahaze.

4 Then let the young woman who pleases the king become queen in place of Vashti.” This suggestion pleased the king, and he acted accordingly.

Ana nehu'za mani'nenagenka anampinti'ma kini ne'moka kenankeno kavesi'nia mofa avrenankeno Vasti nona erino kuinia manigahie.

5 Now there was at the citadel of Susa a Jewish man from the tribe of Benjamin named Mordecai son of Jair, the son of Shimei, the son of Kish.

Hagi ananknafina mago Jiu nera Simei nemofo Kisi negeho Benzameni nagapinti ne' agi'a Modekaiakino Susa rankumapina kini ne'mofo ra nompi nemania nere.

6 He had been carried into exile from Jerusalem by Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon among those taken captive with Jeconiah king of Judah.

Hagi korapara Babiloni kini ne' Nebukatnesama Jerusalemi kumapinti'ma vahe'tmima kinama huzmanteno zamavare'noma vu'nefi, Modekaiane Juda vahe kini ne' Jehoiakininena zanavre'za vu'naze.

7 And Mordecai had brought up Hadassah (that is, Esther), the daughter of his uncle, because she did not have a father or mother. The young woman was lovely in form and appearance, and when her father and mother had died, Mordecai had taken her in as his own daughter.

Hagi Modekaia'a mago mofara nesaro kegava hu'neankino, ana mofamofo agi'a Hadasha'e, mago agi'a Esta'e. Na'ankure Estana nerera nefa'a ko fri'ne. Hagi ana mofara avufgamo'ene agi'agonamo'a hentofaza hu'ne. Hagi nerera afa'ma nefrigeno'a, Modekai'a avreno agra mofa'agna huno kegava hu'ne.

8 When the king’s command and edict had been proclaimed, many young women gathered at the citadel of Susa under the care of Hegai. Esther was also taken to the palace and placed under the care of Hegai, the custodian of the women.

Hagi kini ne' Serksisima kema atreno, knare'nare mofa'nema haketa zamavareta Susa rankumate ehoma higeno'a, rama'a mofa'nerami zamavare'za neazafi Estanena anampi avre'za Susa kumate Hegai azampi eme ante'naze.

9 And the young woman pleased him and obtained his favor, so he quickly provided her with beauty treatments and the special diet. He assigned to her seven select maidservants from the palace and transferred her with them to the best place in the harem.

Hagi Hegai'ma Estama negeno'a, tusiza huno musena hunteno avesinte'ne. Ana'ma nehuno'a, ame huno Estana avufgama eri so'ema hu zantamine ne'zanena nemino, kini ne'mofo kumapinti 7ni'a eri'za mofanerami huzmantege'za kini ne'mofona marerirfa nompi Estana avre'za ome kegava hunte'naze.

10 Esther did not reveal her people or her lineage, because Mordecai had instructed her not to do so.

Hagi Esta'a kuma'ane vahe'amofo agia ahe forera osu'ne, na'ankure Modekaia'a anara osuo huno hunte'negu anara hu'ne.

11 And every day Mordecai would walk back and forth in front of the court of the harem to learn about Esther’s welfare and what was happening to her.

Hagi Modekaia'a maka zupa Esta'ma mani'nea nomofo avuga vano nehuno, Estana na'anoma huntesnagura keno vano hutere hu'ne.

12 In the twelve months before her turn to go to King Xerxes, the harem regulation required each young woman to receive beauty treatments with oil of myrrh for six months, and then with perfumes and cosmetics for another six months.

Hagi ana maka mofa'nema kini ne'mofo avugama vanagura 12fu'a ikampi zamavufaga kegava hu'za erifatgo hute'za vugahaze. Hagi 6'a ikampina mere nehaza masave freno nevnigeno 6si'a ikama vagamare'nigeno'a, mago 6si'a ikampina mnanentake zama eri haviama hu'nea masave freno nevnigeno ana 6si'a ikamo'a ome vagaregahie.

13 When the young woman would go to the king, she was given whatever she requested to take with her from the harem to the king’s palace.

Hagi kini ne'mofo avugama vunaku'ma hanigeno'a, kukeno avasesezano inankna zanku'ma avesi'nia zana anama mase'nenia nompintira amisageno eri'neno kini ne'mofo avuga vugahie.

14 She would go there in the evening, and in the morning she would return to a second harem under the care of Shaashgaz, the king’s eunuch in charge of the concubines. She would not return to the king unless he delighted in her and summoned her by name.

Hagi kinagama sesigeno'a, kini ne'mofo nompi kini ne'ene umani'nenigeno komatanigeno'a, ete mago nompi vanigeno agonknaza hari'naza ne' Sasgasi'e nehia ne'mo kegava huzmantegahie.

15 Now Esther was the daughter of Abihail, the uncle from whom Mordecai had adopted her as his own daughter. And when it was her turn to go to the king, she did not ask for anything except what Hegai, the king’s trusted official in charge of the harem, had advised. And Esther found favor in the eyes of everyone who saw her.

Hagi Abihaili mofa Esta'a Modekaina nenogokino agrama kini ne'ma ome ke knama egeno'a, mago kukenaguro avasase zankura zamantahi onke'neanki kva'amo Hegai'ma huhamprinte'nea zantami eri hankre'ne. Hagi Estama ke'naza vahe'amo'za muse hunente'za mago zamarimpa hunte'naze.

16 She was taken to King Xerxes in the royal palace in the tenth month, the month of Tebeth, in the seventh year of his reign.

Hagi Serksisima 7ni'a kafuma kinima nemanige'za ana kafumofona, 10ni ikana Tebetie nehaza ikante Estana avre'za noma'are eme ami'naze.

17 And the king loved Esther more than all the other women, and she found grace and favor in his sight more than all of the other virgins. So he placed the royal crown upon her head and made her queen in place of Vashti.

Ana higeno kini ne'mo'a mago'a mofa'neramima avesizmante'neama'a agatereno Estana tusiza huno avesinte'ne. Hagi Esta'a vene omase mofa'nea mika zamagatereno kini ne'mofo avesira eri knare higeno, kini ne'mo'a tusi muse hunenteno kuini fetorira antaninteno, Vasti nontera Estana kuinia azeri oti'ne.

18 Then the king held a great banquet, Esther’s banquet, for all his officials and servants. He proclaimed a tax holiday in the provinces and gave gifts worthy of the king’s bounty.

Ana huteno kini ne'mo'a Estana ne'za krenenteno azeri musena nehuno, ranra kva vahe'ane eri'za vahe'anena kehige'za ana ne'zantera e'naze. Ana nehuno kini ne'mo'ma kegavama hu'nea kumatamimpi vahekura ananknarera manigasa hiho nehuno maka vahera musezana zami'ne.

19 When the virgins were assembled a second time, Mordecai was sitting at the king’s gate.

Hagi vene omase mofa'nemo'za mago'enema emeri atruma nehazageno'a, Modekai'a kini ne'mofo kuma kafante mani'ne.

20 Esther still had not revealed her lineage or her people, just as Mordecai had instructed. She obeyed Mordecai’s command, as she had done under his care.

Hagi Modekai'ma asami'nea kante anteno Esta'a agra igati mofa mani'ne mago vahera erinte amara huno osami'ne.

21 In those days, while Mordecai was sitting at the king’s gate, Bigthan and Teresh, two of the king’s eunuchs who guarded the entrance, grew angry and conspired to assassinate King Xerxes.

Hagi Modekai'ma kini ne'mofo kuma kafante'ma nemania knafina, kini ne'mofo eri'za netrena Bithanake Teresikea tusi zanarimpa kini ne' Serkisisina ahenenteke ahe frinaku oku'a nanekea retro hu'na'e.

22 When Mordecai learned of the plot, he reported it to Queen Esther, and she informed the king on Mordecai’s behalf.

Hianagi Modekaia'a ana oku nanekezni'a antahiteno, vuno kuini a' Estana ome asamigeno Esta'a Modekai'ma hia nanekea erino kini nera ome asami'ne.

23 After the report had been investigated and verified, both officials were hanged on the gallows. And all this was recorded in the Book of the Chronicles in the presence of the king.

Hagi ana nanekema hake'za erifore'ma hazageno'ma tamagema me'nege'za nege'za, ana netrena zanazeri'za vahe'ma zamahe'zama nehanti'za zafare hantizageke fri'na'e. Hagi ama ana agenkea kini vahe'mofo agenkema krenentaza avontafepi krente'naze.
