< Esther 2 >

1 After this, when the wrath of king Assuerus was appeased, he remembered Vasthi, and what she had done and what she had suffered:
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 And the king’s servants and his officers said: Let young women be sought for the king, virgins and beautiful,
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 some persons be sent through all the provinces to look for beautiful maidens and virgins: and let them bring them to the city of Susan, and put them into the house of the women under the hand of Egeus the eunuch, who is the overseer and keeper of the king’s women: and let them receive women’s ornaments, and other things necessary for their use.
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 And whosoever among them all shall please the king’s eyes, let her be queen instead of Vasthi. The word pleased the king: and he commanded it should be done as they had suggested.
Ana nehu'za mani'nenagenka anampinti'ma kini ne'moka kenankeno kavesi'nia mofa avrenankeno Vasti nona erino kuinia manigahie.
5 There was a man in the city of Susan, a Jew, named Mardochai, the son of Jair, the son of Semei, the son of Cis, of the race of Jemini,
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 Who had been carried away from Jerusalem at the time that Nabuchodonosor king of Babylon carried away Jechonias king of Juda,
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 he had brought up his brother’s daughter Edissa, who by another name was called Esther: now she had lost both her parents: and was exceeding fair and beautiful. And her father and mother being dead, Mardochai adopted her for his 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 And when the king’s ordinance was noised abroad, and according to his commandment many beautiful virgins were brought to Susan, and were delivered to Egeus the eunuch: Esther also among the rest of the maidens was delivered to him to be kept in the number 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 she pleased him, and found favour in his sight. And he commanded the eunuch to hasten the women’s ornaments, and to deliver to her her part, and seven of the most beautiful maidens of the king’s house, and to adorn and deck out both her and her waiting maids.
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 And she would not tell him her people nor her country. For Mardochai had charged her to say nothing at all of that:
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 he walked every day before the court of the house, in which the chosen virgins were kept, having a care for Esther’s welfare, and desiring to know what would befall her.
Hagi Modekaia'a maka zupa Esta'ma mani'nea nomofo avuga vano nehuno, Estana na'anoma huntesnagura keno vano hutere hu'ne.
12 Now when every virgin’s turn came to go in to the king, after all had been done for setting them off to advantage, it was the twelfth month: so that for six months they were anointed with oil of myrrh, and for other six months they used certain perfumes and sweet spices.
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 And when they were going in to the king, whatsoever they asked to adorn themselves they received: and being decked out, as it pleased them, they passed from the chamber of the women to the king’s chamber.
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 And she that went in at evening, came out in the morning, and from thence she was conducted to the second house, that was under the hand of Susagaz the eunuch, who had the charge over the king’s concubines: neither could she return any more to the king, unless the king desired it, and had ordered her by name to come.
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 And as the time came orderly about, the day was at hand, when Esther, the daughter of Abihail the brother of Mardochai, whom he had adopted for his daughter, was to go in to the king. But she sought not women’s ornaments, but whatsoever Egeus the eunuch the keeper of the virgins had a mind, he gave her to adorn her. For she was exceeding fair, and her incredible beauty made her appear agreeable and amiable in the eyes of all.
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 So she was brought to the chamber of king Assuerus the tenth month, which is called 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 her more than all the women, and she had favour and kindness before him above all the women, and he set the royal crown on her head, and made her queen instead of Vasthi.
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 And he commanded a magnificent feast to be prepared for all the princes, and for his servants, for the marriage and wedding of Esther. And he gave rest to all the provinces, and bestowed gifts according to princely magnificence.
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 And when the virgins were sought the second time, and gathered together, Mardochai stayed 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 Neither had Esther as yet declared her country and people, according to his commandment. For whatsoever he commanded, Esther observed: and she did all things in the same manner as she was wont at that time when he brought her up a little one.
Hagi Modekai'ma asami'nea kante anteno Esta'a agra igati mofa mani'ne mago vahera erinte amara huno osami'ne.
21 At that time, therefore, when Mardochai abode at the king’s gate, Bagathan and Thares, two of the king’s eunuchs, who were porters, and presided in the first entry of the palace, were angry: and they designed to rise up against the king, and to kill him.
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 And Mardochai had notice of it, and immediately he told it to queen Esther: and she to the king in Mardochai’s name, who had reported the thing unto her.
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 It was inquired into, and found out: and they were both hanged on a gibbet. And it was put in the histories, and recorded in the chronicles before 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.
