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: )
Besia eagene hina bagade ea dio amo Segesisi da moilai bai bagade amo Susa, amo ganodini ea ouligisu hawa: hamonanu. E da soge fi hihi 127 agoane ouligisu. Amo soge fi hihi da Inidia soge asili Suda: ne soge amo ganodini esalu.
2 That in those days, when King Ahasuerus was ruling in Shushan, his strong town,
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;
Ode osodayale ea ouligisu ganodini, e da lolo mai. E da ea lolo manusa: , eagene ouligisu dunu, soge fi hihi ilia ouligisu amola hina dunu, Besia dadi gagui dunu amola Midia dadi gagui dunu, amo huluane hiougi.
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.
E da oubi gafeyale amoga e da ea diasu amola Susa moilai amo liligi noga: idafa amo hiougi misi dunu ilima olelesa lalalu.
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.
Amalalu, hina bagade da lolo nasu bagade, amo ea diasu gagoi ganodini hamoi. Amo hamonana hi afae galagai, amola amoga misa: ne, e da dunu huluane, bagade gagui amola hame gagui, amo huluane hiougi.
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.
Hina bagade ea gagoi da nina: hamoi noga: idafa ba: i. Gasiga: su abula da haisewe amola ahea: iai ba: i. Ilia da oga: iya: i efe amoga silifa gedu amoga la: gilisili amola igi ogelu duni bugi ili amoga gosagisi. Iluwa: su fafai amo da gouli amola silifa amoga hamoi da gagoi ganodini ligisi dialebe ba: i, amola gagoi da ogelu amola yoi gele noga: idafa amola su ela: mei amola ela: mei haisewe igi, amoga fa: i.
7 And they gave them drink in gold vessels, every vessel being different, and wine of the kingdom, freely given by the king.
Waini hano moma: ne, ilia da gouli faigelei hisu hisu hahamoi amo ganodini soga: sasali. Hina bagade da ea waini nodone bagade sagoi.
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.
Hina bagade da ea hawa: hamosu dunu ilima ilia da mae hihini dunu huluane ilia waini hano manusa: defele ilima ima: ne sia: i.
9 And Vashti the queen gave a feast for the women in the house of King Ahasuerus.
Amo galu, hina bagade uda Fa: sedai da hina bagade diasu ganodini, lolo manusa: uda fawane hiougi.
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,
Lolo nabe eso fesuga, hina bagade da waini nanu amola hahawane ba: su. Amalalu, e da ea gulusu danai hawa: hamosu dunu fesuale gala amo ema misa: ne sia: i. Ilia dio da Mihiuma: ne, Bisida, Habouna, Bigida, Aba: geda, Sida amola Gaga: se.
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.
E da amo dunu ilia da hina bagade uda Fa: sedai amo habuga ea dialumaga figisili, ema oule misa: ne sia: i. Fa: sedai da uda noga: idafa ba: su. Hina bagade da Fa: sedai ea noga: idafa ba: su, amo ea hiougi dunuma olelemusa: dawa: i galu.
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.
Be hawa: hamosu dunu da ema hina bagade ea hamoma: ne sia: i olelebeba: le, Fa: sedai hihini hame misunu sia: i. Hina bagade da amo sia: nababeba: le, ougi bagade ba: i.
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:
Hina bagade ea hou da bagade dawa: su dunuma, abuli hamoma: beyale adole ba: su. Amaiba: le, e da ea fada: i sia: ne iasu dunuma ilia sia: nabimusa: wele sia: i.
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: )
Hina bagade ea fada: i sia: ne iasu ouligisu dunu mimogo fesuale gala, Besia amola Midia soge ganodini ilia dio da Gasina, Sieda, A:damada, Dasisi, Milese, Ma: sina, amola Mimiuga: ne.
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?
E da amo dunuma amane sia: i, “Na da hina bagade Segesisi! Ni da na hawa: hamosu dunuma ilia da na uda Fa: sedai e da nama oule misa: ne adosi. Be e da na sia: nabimu higa: i. Ninia da ema adi hamoma: bela: ? Sema dedei da adi sia: sala: ?”
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;
Amalalu, Mimiuga: ne da hina bagade amola eagene ouligisu dunu ilima amane sia: i, “Hina bagade uda Fa: sedai da hina bagade ema fawane hame gadele sia: i. Be e da eagene ouligisu dunu huluane amola dunu huluane Besia amola Midia soge ganodini, amo huluane ilima gadele sia: i dagoi.
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.
Bai uda huluane hina bagade ea ouligisu fifi asi gala amo ganodini da Fa: sedai ea hihi sia: nababeba: le, ilia da egoama hihi ba: mu. Ilia da amane sia: mu, ‘Hina bagade Segesisi da ea uda Fa: sedai ema misa: ne sia: i, be e da higa: i.’
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.
Besia amola Midia ouligisu dunu ilia uda da amo hou nababeba: le, ilia da wali eso, amo hame nabasu hou ilia egoama olelemu. Uda huluane da ilia egoama hame dogolegemu, amola egoa ilia da idua ilima ougi ba: mu.
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.
Hina bagade! Di da hanai galea, hina bagade sema amane hamoma, ‘Fa: sedai da dima bu hamedafa misunu’. Amo sema da Besia amola Midia ela sema dedei amo ganodini dedenanu, bu hamedafa afadenemu, di sia: ma. Amasea, Fa: sedai ea hina bagade uda sogebi, amo eno baligili noga: i udama ima.
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.
Dia fifi asi gala da bagadedafa. Dunu huluane amo ganodini esala, da dia sia: amo nababeba: le, uda huluane da ilia egoa (bagade gagui amola hame gagui defele), ilima nodone dawa: le, nabasu hou bu hamomu.”
21 And this suggestion seemed good to the king and the captains; and the king did as Memucan said;
Hina bagade amola eagene ouligisu dunu da amo hou da noga: i dawa: beba: le, hina bagade da Mimiuga: ne ea sia: i defele hamoi.
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.
E da ea ouligisu fifi asi gala huluane ilima, e da ilila: sia: amola idisu amola dedesu hou defele, ilima sema amane dedene iagagai, “Egoa huluane da ilia sosogo fi ilima hinawane esalumu, amola eno da ilia sia: gua: mu da hamedei.”
