< Esther 1 >

1 In the days of Assuerus, who reigned from India to Ethiopia over a hundred and twenty-seven provinces:
Hagi Serksisima (Ahasurusi'ma) kinima mani'neana India mopareti eri agafa huteno, vuno Itiopia (Cush) mopare ome atre'nea kumatmima 127ni'a provinsirami kegavama hu'nea knafina, amanahu'za fore hu'ne.
2 When he sat on the throne of his kingdom, the city Susan was the capital of his kingdom.
Hagi ana knafina kini ne' Serksisi'a kini tra'are ran kumapi Susa mani'ne.
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,
Hagi 3'a kafuma kinima nemanino'a, ranra kva vahetamine eri'za vahe'aramimofona tusi ne'za krezmante'ne. Hagi Pesiane Media sondia vahete kva vahetamine, ranra eri'za vahetamine, gavana vahe'mo'zanena anampinke mani'naze.
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.
Na'ankure 6si'a ikamofo agu'afi agrama kegavama hu'nea mopafi zago-fenona eriama nehuno, hihamu konariria erinte ama huno zamaveri hu'ne.
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.
Hagi ana knaramima evutegeno'a, kini ne'mo'a Susa rankumapima atru hu'nea vahetmimofo ne'zana tusi ne'za kreno retro huzmante'ne. Na'ankure ana maka vahe'ma atruma hu'nazana, osi eri'za vaheteti vuno ra eri'za vahete vu'ne. Hagi ana ne'zana kini ne'mo'a agra kumapima me'nea knagune hozafi retro hige'za 7ni'a knamofo agu'afi nene'za musena hu'naze.
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.
Hagi ana knagune hozafima konaririma hunte'neana, efeke'ene fitunke tavraverami renteno evu'ne. Hagi ana tavraveramina efeke'ene fitunke nofitminu silvare rinifi alabasta have posirera ru marave'marave nehia haverami renteno evu'ne. Hagi mopafima ruzahu ruzahu havema rekamrente'za evu'naza agofetura golireti'ene silvareti'ma tro'ma hu'naza tratami ante'naze.
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.
Hagi golireti'ma tro'ma hu'naza kapufi waini tina tagiza ru avamente avamente vahera nemizageno, kini ne'mo'a wainiramina rama'a ana vahera zami'ne.
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.
Hagi zamagima hige'za e'naza vahe'mo'za zamagra zamavesite waini tina ne'naze. Na'ankure waini tima tagino veva'ma hu vahetmina kini ne'mo'a zamasmino, mago magomofoma avesi'nia avamente waini tina tagita zamiho huno huzmante'ne.
9 Also Vasthi the queen made a feast for the women in the palace, where king Assuerus was used to dwell.
Hagi kini ne' Serksisima venenezagama zamazeri musema nehigeno'a, anahukna huno kini ne' kumapina kuini a' Vasti'a agranena zamazeri muse huno tusi'a ne'za a'neramimofona krezmante'ne.
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,
Hagi namba 7ni kna zupama waini timo'ma kini ne' Serksisi antahintahima azeri negima nenegeno'a, Mehumanima, Bazitama, Habonama, Bigtama, Abagtama, Zetarima, Kakasima huno zamagonknazama hari'nea 7ni'a eri'za vahe'aramima ana ne'zama nenaku'ma etruma hu'naza vahetmina huzmanteno,
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.
kuini a' Vastina ome avre'za esageno kuini fetori antanineno kini ne'mofo avuga enogu huzmante'ne. Hagi kuin' Vasti'a hentofa agi agonane a mani'neankino, kini ne'mo'a eri'za vahetmima'a zamaveri hunaku kuini a' Vastina kea hu'ne.
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,
Hianagi ana nanekema kini ne'mofo eri'za vahe'mo'zama ome asamizankea kuini a' Vasti'a ontahi'ne. Hagi ana'ma higeno'a, kini ne'mofona tusi rimpa ahegeno arimpama ahezamo'a agu'afina tevere'ne.
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:
Ana higeno kini ne'mo'a, kuini a' Vasti'ma hunte'nea zanku nentahino antahintahi eri'naku knare antahintahine vahetami zmantahige'ne. Na'ankure kini vahe' zamavu'zmavara knare antahintahine vahe'ma antahigeno antahintahima eri zamavu'zmava me'negu anara hu'ne.
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: )
Hagi knare antahi'zane vahetmima kini ne'mofo tava'oma'are'ma nemaniza vahetmina Kasenaki, Setaki, Adamataki, Tasisiki, Meresiki, Masenaki, Memukani'e. Hagi ama ana 7ni'a vahetmina Pesiane Media kamanimofo ranra kva vahetminkino, maka zupa kini ne' eme ketere nehaza vahe mani'naze.
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?
Hagi kini ne' Serksisi'a anage huno ana vahera zamasami'ne, eri'za vahe'niaramima huzmante'na Kuini a' Vastima kehinkeno enoma huge'za ome asamizageno'a, kuini a' Vasti'a ke'ni'a ontahianki, na'a huntegahufi kasegefina keta nasamiho.
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.
Higeno kini ne'mofo avugane ranra kva vahetmimofo zamavuga Memukani'a kenona huno, kuini a' Vasti'a kini ne'tekera ama ana avu'avara huonteanki, maka ranra kva vahetamine, maka vahetmima kini ne'mo'ma kegavama hu'nea mopafima mani'naza vahete'ene ama ana avu'avara huzmante.
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.
Na'ankure ama ana kema vuno eno'ma hina maka a'nemo'zama antahinu'za, kuini a' Vasti'a kini ne' Serksisi'a ke hiana ke'a antahino ome'ne hu'za nehu'za, zmavenanehe'mofona zamage fenkami netre'za kezmia ontahigahaze.
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.
Hagi menima Pesiane Media ranra kva vahetmimofo a'nemo'zama kuini a' Vastima kini ne'ma huntea avu'avazamofo agenkema antahisu'za, ana zanke hu'za kini ne'mofo ranra kva vahetmina zamage fenkami netre'za, kezmia ontahisage'za tusi zamarimpagu hugahaze.
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.
E'ina hu'negu ama ana kere'ma kini ne'mokama muse hanunka mago kasege krenka, kuini a' Vasti'a nagri navuga omegahie, hunka negrenka mago knare aku kenka erigeno kuini Vasti nona erino kuinia manino.
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.
Hagi e'inama hunka kasegema tro hanankeno ana nanekemo'ma maka kagrama kegavama hu'nana mopa atupare'ma vuno eno'ma hinkeno, maka agima omne' a'nereti vuno agima me' nea a'neraminte'ma vaniana a'nemo'za, zmavenanehe'i kea nentahiza zamage sga hugahaze.
21 His counsel pleased the king, and the princes: and the king did according to the counsel of Mamuchan.
Hagi kini ne'ene ranra eri'za vahetmimo'za Memukani'ma hia antahintahirera mago zamarimpa hu'za muse hu'naze. Ana hazageno Memukani'ma antahintahima amia kante anteno kini ne'mo'a ana zana hu'ne.
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.
Hagi kini ne'mo'a avona kreno maka agrama kegavama hu'nea kumatmintega atregeno vuno eno hu'ne. Hagi mago mago kumategama avoma kre atre'neana zamagrama negraza avompinti kre atre'ne. Hagi ana avompina amanage huno krente'ne, mago mago naga'mofona vemo vugota kva manigahie huno kretre'ne.
