Esther 1
1 This is an account of what happened during the time of King Xerxes, the Xerxes who ruled over 127 provinces from India to 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 At the time King Xerxes was ruling from his royal throne at the fortress in Susa.
3 In the third year of his reign he organized a feast for his officials and administrators. The army commanders of Persia and Media, the nobles, and the provincial officials were all there with 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 He put on display his wealth and the glory of his kingdom, showing how majestic, splendid, and glorious he was, for 180 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 After that the king gave a feast lasting for seven days for all the people, great and small, who were there in the fortress of Susa in the garden courtyard of the king's pavilion.
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 It was decorated with white and blue cotton curtains tied with cords of fine linen and purple thread on silver rings, held up by marble pillars. Gold and silver couches were placed on a pavement made of purple porphyry, marble, mother-of-pearl, and expensive stones.
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 Drinks were served in golden goblets of different kinds, and the royal wine flowed freely because of the king's generosity.
Waini hano moma: ne, ilia da gouli faigelei hisu hisu hahamoi amo ganodini soga: sasali. Hina bagade da ea waini nodone bagade sagoi.
8 The king had ruled that there was to be no limit on how much a guest could drink; he had told his servants to give each guest whatever they wanted.
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 Queen Vashti also gave a feast for the women in the palace that belonged to King Xerxes.
Amo galu, hina bagade uda Fa: sedai da hina bagade diasu ganodini, lolo manusa: uda fawane hiougi.
10 On the seventh day of the feast, the king, feeling happy from drinking wine, ordered the seven eunuchs who were his attendants, Mehuman, Biztha, Harbona, Bigtha, Abagtha, Zethar, and Karkas,
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 Queen Vashti to him wearing her royal headdress, so he could show her beauty to the people and officials, for she was very good-looking.
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 eunuchs delivered the order from the king, Queen Vashti refused to come. The king became extremely angry—he was absolutely furious.
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 Then the king spoke with the wise men who would know what to do, for it was the custom for him to ask the opinion of experts in procedures and legal matters.
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 Those closest to him were Carshena, Shethar, Admatha, Tarshish, Meres, Marsena, and Memucan. They were the seven nobles of Persia and Media who had frequent meetings with the king and had the highest positions 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 does the law say should be done with Queen Vashti?” he asked. “She refused to obey the direct order of King Xerxes as delivered 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 Memucan gave his answer before the king and the nobles, “Queen Vashti hasn't just insulted the king but all the nobles and all the people of all the provinces of King Xerxes.
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 Once it gets out what the queen has done, all wives will despise their husbands, looking down on them and telling them, ‘King Xerxes ordered Queen Vashti brought to him but she didn't come!’
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 By the end of the day, the wives of all the nobles throughout Persia and Media who have heard what the queen did will treat their noble husbands with angry contempt!
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 Your Majesty, issue a royal decree, in accordance with the laws of Persia and Media which cannot be changed, that Vashti is banished from the presence of King Xerxes, and that Your Majesty will give her royal position to another, one who is better than her.
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 When Your Majesty's decree is proclaimed throughout your vast empire, all wives will respect their husbands, highborn or lowborn.”
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 This advice looked good to the king and the nobles, so the king did what Memucan had 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 He sent letters to all provinces in the empire, in each province's script and language, that every man should rule his own home, and use his own mother tongue.
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.”
