Esther 1
1 Now it came about in the days of Ahasuerus, (that Ahasuerus who was ruler of a hundred and twenty-seven divisions of the kingdom, from India as far as Ethiopia: )
Ga abin da ya faru a zamanin Zerzes. Zerzes ya yi mulki bisan larduna 127 daga Indiya zuwa Kush.
2 That in those days, when King Ahasuerus was ruling in Shushan, his strong town,
A lokacin nan, Sarki Zerzes ya yi mulki daga gadon sarauta, cikin mazaunin masarautar Shusha.
3 In the third year of his rule he gave a feast to all his captains and his servants; and the captains of the army of Persia and Media, the great men and the rulers of the divisions of his kingdom, were present before him;
A shekara ta uku ta mulkinsa, ya yi wa dukan hakimansa da ma’aikatansa liyafa. Shugabannin mayaƙan Farisa, da Mediya, da yerimai; da kuma hakimai na lardunan suka kasance.
4 And for a long time, even a hundred and eighty days, he let them see all the wealth and the glory of his kingdom and the great power and honour which were his.
Kwanaki 180 cif, ya nuna yawan dukiyar masarautarsa, da ɗaukakarta da kuma darajar girmansa.
5 And at the end of that time, the king gave a feast for all the people who were present in Shushan, the king's town, small as well as great, for seven days, in the outer square of the garden of the king's house.
Sa’ad da waɗannan kwanaki suka wuce, sai sarki ya yi liyafa a cikin lambun da aka shinge na fadar sarki wadda ta ɗauki kwana bakwai wa dukan mutane daga ƙarami har zuwa babba, waɗanda suke zama a masarautar Shusha.
6 There were fair hangings of white and green and blue, fixed with cords of purple and the best linen to silver rings and pillars of polished stone: the seats were of gold and silver on a floor of red and white and yellow and black stone.
Lambun yana da fararen labulen da aka rataye da shunayya na lallausan lilin, da aka ɗaura da igiyoyin fararen lilin, da yadin jan garura, haɗe da zoban azurfa a kan ginshiƙin farin ƙasa. A nan, akwai kujeru na zinariya da na azurfa a kan daɓe mai ado da aka yi da duwatsu masu daraja, da farin ƙasa, da fararen duwatsun wuya, da waɗansu duwatsu masu tsada.
7 And they gave them drink in gold vessels, every vessel being different, and wine of the kingdom, freely given by the king.
Aka rarraba ruwan inabi cikin kwaf na zinariya, kowanne kuwa dabam yake da ɗayan. Ruwan inabin kuwa yana da yawa, bisa ga wadatar sarki.
8 And the drinking was in keeping with the law; no one was forced: for the king had given orders to all the chief servants of his house to do as was pleasing to every man.
Bisa ga umarnin sarki, aka bar kowane baƙo yă sha yadda ya ga dama, gama sarki ya umarci dukan bayin da suke rarraba ruwan inabin su ba wa kowa abin da yake so.
9 And Vashti the queen gave a feast for the women in the house of King Ahasuerus.
Sarauniya Bashti ita ma ta yi liyafa saboda mata a fadar Sarki Zerzes.
10 On the seventh day, when the heart of the king was glad with wine, he gave orders to Mehuman, Biztha, Harbona, Bigtha, and Abagtha, Zethar, and Carcas, the seven unsexed servants who were waiting before Ahasuerus the king,
A rana ta bakwai, sa’ad da Sarki Zerzes, ya yi tilis da ruwan inabi, sai ya umarci bābānni bakwai waɗanda suke yin masa hidima, wato, Mehuman, Bizta, Harbona, Bigta, Abagta, Zetar da Karkas,
11 That Vashti the queen was to come before him, crowned with her crown, and let the people and the captains see her: for she was very beautiful.
su kawo Sarauniya Bashti a gabansa, sanye da rawanin sarautarta, don ta nuna kyanta wa mutane da kuma hakimai, gama ita kyakkyawa ce ƙwarai.
12 But when the servants gave her the king's order, Vashti the queen said she would not come: then the king was very angry, and his heart was burning with wrath.
Amma da masu hidima suka ba da umarnin sarki, sai Sarauniya Bashti ta ƙi zuwa. Wannan ya ɓata wa sarki rai, ya kuma yi fushi ƙwarai.
13 And the king said to the wise men, who had knowledge of the times, (for this was the king's way with all who were expert in law and in the giving of decisions:
Da yake, al’ada ce sarki yă nemi shawara daga sanannu a batun doka da adalci, sai ya yi magana da masu hikima waɗanda suke fahimtar lokuta
14 And second only to him were Carshena, Shethar, Admatha, Tarshish, Meres, Marsena, and Memucan, the seven rulers of Persia and Media, who were friends of the king, and had the first places in the kingdom: )
suke kuma mafi kusa da sarki. Waɗannan masu hikima kuwa su ne, Karshena, Shetar, Admata, Tarshish, Meres, Marsena da kuma Memukan. Su hakimai bakwai ne na Farisa da Mediya waɗanda suke da dama ta musamman ta kaiwa ga sarki, suke kuma da matsayi mafi girma a masarautar.
15 What is to be done by law to Vashti the queen, because she has not done what King Ahasuerus, by his servants, gave her orders to do?
Ya ce, “Bisa ga doka, me za a yi wa Sarauniya Bashti? Gama ta ƙi yin biyayya da umarnin sarki Zerzes da bābānni suka kai mata?”
16 And before the king and the captains, Memucan gave his answer: Vashti the queen has done wrong, not only to the king, but to all the captains and to all the peoples in all the divisions of the kingdom of King Ahasuerus;
Sai Memukan ya amsa a gaban sarki da hakimai ya ce, “Sarauniya Bashti ta yi laifi, ba ga sarki kaɗai ba, amma ga dukan hakimai ma, da kuma mutanen dukan lardunan sarki Zerzes.
17 For news of what the queen has done will come to the ears of all women, and they will no longer give respect to their husbands when it is said to them, King Ahasuerus gave orders for Vashti the queen to come before him and she came not.
Domin halin Sarauniya zai zama sananne ga dukan mata, ta haka kuwa za su ƙasƙantar da mazansu su kuma ce, ‘Sarki Zerzes ya umarta a kawo Sarauniya Bashti a gabansa, amma ta ƙi zuwa.’
18 And the wives of the captains of Persia and Media, hearing what the queen has done, will say the same to all the king's captains. So there will be much shame and wrath.
Wannan rana matan hakiman Farisa da na Mediya waɗanda suka ji game da halin sarauniya, za su yi haka wa dukan hakiman sarki. Zai zama babu ƙarshen rashin bangirma da kuma reni.
19 If it is pleasing to the king, let an order go out from him, and let it be recorded among the laws of the Persians and the Medes, so that it may never be changed, that Vashti is never again to come before King Ahasuerus; and let the king give her place to another who is better than she.
“Saboda haka, in ya gamshi sarki, bari yă ba da hatimi na sarauta, bari kuma a rubuta shi cikin dokokin Farisa da Mediya, wanda ba za a iya sokewa ba, cewa Bashti ba za tă ƙara zuwa gaban sarkin Zerzes ba. Bari kuma sarki yă ba da matsayinta na sarauta ga wata, wadda ta fi ta.
20 And when this order, given by the king, is made public through all his kingdom (for it is great), all the wives will give honour to their husbands, great as well as small.
Ta haka, sa’ad da aka yi shelar dokar sarki ko’ina a fāɗin masarautarsa, dukan mata za su ba wa mazansu girma, daga ƙarami har zuwa babba.”
21 And this suggestion seemed good to the king and the captains; and the king did as Memucan said;
Sarki da hakimansa suka gamsu da wannan shawara. Saboda haka sarki ya yi kamar yadda Memukan ya faɗa.
22 And sent letters to all the divisions of the kingdom, to every division in the writing commonly used there, and to every people in the language which was theirs, saying that every man was to be the ruler in his house, and that this order was to be given out in the language of his people.
Ya aika da saƙo zuwa ga dukan ɓangarorin masarautar, zuwa ga kowane lardi a irin nasa rubutu, zuwa kuma ga kowane mutane a nasu harshe, ana shelar a kowane yare na mutane, cewa kowane mutum yă zama mai mulki bisa gidansa.
