< Esther 1 >

1 In the days of Assuerus, who reigned from India to Ethiopia over a hundred and twenty-seven provinces:
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 When he sat on the throne of his kingdom, the city Susan was the capital of his kingdom.
3 Now in the third year of his reign he made a great feast for all the princes, and for his servants, for the most mighty of the Persians, and the nobles of the Medes, and the governors of the provinces in his sight,
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 That he might shew the riches of the glory of his kingdom, and the greatness, and boasting of his power, for a long time, to wit, for a hundred and fourscore days.
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 when the days of the feast were expired, he invited all the people that were found in Susan, from the greatest to the least: and commanded a feast to be made seven days in the court of the garden, and of the wood, which was planted by the care and the hand of the king.
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 And there were hung up on every side sky coloured, and green, and violet hangings, fastened with cords of silk, and of purple, which were put into rings of ivory, and were held up with marble pillars. The beds also were of gold and silver, placed in order upon a floor paved with porphyry and white marble: which was embellished with painting of wonderful variety.
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 that were invited, drank in golden cups, and the meats were brought in divers vessels one after another. Wine also in abundance and of the best was presented, as was worthy of a king’s magnificence.
Waini hano moma: ne, ilia da gouli faigelei hisu hisu hahamoi amo ganodini soga: sasali. Hina bagade da ea waini nodone bagade sagoi.
8 Neither was there any one to compel them to drink that were not willing, but as the king had appointed, who set over every table one of his nobles, that every man might take what he would.
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 Also Vasthi the queen made a feast for the women in the palace, where king Assuerus was used to dwell.
Amo galu, hina bagade uda Fa: sedai da hina bagade diasu ganodini, lolo manusa: uda fawane hiougi.
10 Now on the seventh day, when the king was merry, and after very much drinking was well warmed with wine, he commanded Mauman, and Bazatha, and Harbona, and Bagatha, and Abgatha, and Zethar, and Charcas, the seven eunuchs that served in his presence,
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 To bring in queen Vasthi before the king, with the crown set upon her head, to shew her beauty to all the people and the princes: for she was exceeding 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 she refused, and would not come at the king’s commandment, which he had signified to her by the eunuchs. Whereupon the king, being angry, and inflamed with a very great fury,
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 Baked the wise men, who according to the custom of the kings, were always near his person, and all he did was by their counsel, who knew the laws, and judgments of their forefathers:
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 (Now the chief and nearest him were, Charsena, and Sethar, and Admatha, and Tharsis, and Mares, and Marsana, and Mamuchan, seven princes of the Persians, and of the Medes, who saw the face of the king, and were used to sit first after him: )
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 sentence ought to pass upon Vasthi the queen, who had refused to obey the commandment of king Assuerus, which he had sent to her by the eunuchs?
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 Mamuchan answered, in the hearing of the king and the princes: Queen Vasthi hath not only injured the king, but also all the people and princes that are in all the provinces of king Assuerus.
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 this deed of the queen will go abroad to all women, so that they will despise their husbands, and will say: King Assuerus commanded that queen Vasthi should come in to him, and she would 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 by this example all the wives of the princes of the Persians and the Medes will slight the commandments of their husbands: wherefore the king’s indignation is just.
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 please thee, let an edict go out from thy presence, and let it be written according to the law of the Persians and of the Medes, which must not be altered, that Vasthi come in no more to the king, but another, that is better than her, be made queen in her place.
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 let this be published through all the provinces of thy empire, (which is very wide, ) and let all wives, as well of the greater as of the lesser, give honour to their husbands.
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 His counsel pleased the king, and the princes: and the king did according to the counsel of Mamuchan.
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 he sent letters to all the provinces of his kingdom, as every nation could hear and read, in divers languages and characters, that the husbands should be rulers and masters in their houses: and that this should be published to every 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.”
