Esther 1
1 In the dayes of Ahashuerosh (this is Ahashuerosh that reigned, from India euen vnto Ethiopia, ouer an hundreth, and seuen and twentie prouinces)
Ga abin da ya faru a zamanin Zerzes. Zerzes ya yi mulki bisan larduna 127 daga Indiya zuwa Kush.
2 In those dayes when the King Ahashuerosh sate on his throne, which was in the palace of Shushan,
A lokacin nan, Sarki Zerzes ya yi mulki daga gadon sarauta, cikin mazaunin masarautar Shusha.
3 In the third yeere of his reigne, he made a feast vnto all his princes and his seruants, euen the power of Persia and Media, and to the captaines and gouernours of the prouinces which were before him,
A shekara ta uku ta mulkinsa, ya yi wa dukan hakimansa da ma’aikatansa liyafa. Shugabannin mayaƙan Farisa, da Mediya, da yerimai; da kuma hakimai na lardunan suka kasance.
4 That he might shewe the riches and glorie of his kingdome, and the honour of his great maiestie many dayes, euen an hundreth and foure score dayes.
Kwanaki 180 cif, ya nuna yawan dukiyar masarautarsa, da ɗaukakarta da kuma darajar girmansa.
5 And when these dayes were expired, the King made a feast to all the people that were founde in the palace of Shushan, both vnto great and small, seuen dayes, in the court of the garden of the Kings palace,
Sa’ad da waɗannan kwanaki suka wuce, sai sarki ya yi liyafa a cikin lambun da aka shinge na fadar sarki wadda ta ɗauki kwana bakwai wa dukan mutane daga ƙarami har zuwa babba, waɗanda suke zama a masarautar Shusha.
6 Vnder an hanging of white, greene, and blue clothes, fastened with cordes of fine linen and purple, in siluer rings, and pillars of marble: the beds were of golde, and of siluer vpon a pauement of porphyre, and marble and alabaster, and blue colour.
Lambun yana da fararen labulen da aka rataye da shunayya na lallausan lilin, da aka ɗaura da igiyoyin fararen lilin, da yadin jan garura, haɗe da zoban azurfa a kan ginshiƙin farin ƙasa. A nan, akwai kujeru na zinariya da na azurfa a kan daɓe mai ado da aka yi da duwatsu masu daraja, da farin ƙasa, da fararen duwatsun wuya, da waɗansu duwatsu masu tsada.
7 And they gaue them drinke in vessels of golde, and changed vessel after vessel, and royall wine in abundance according to the power of the King.
Aka rarraba ruwan inabi cikin kwaf na zinariya, kowanne kuwa dabam yake da ɗayan. Ruwan inabin kuwa yana da yawa, bisa ga wadatar sarki.
8 And the drinking was by an order, none might compel: for so the King had appoynted vnto all the officers of his house, that they should do according to euery mans pleasure.
Bisa ga umarnin sarki, aka bar kowane baƙo yă sha yadda ya ga dama, gama sarki ya umarci dukan bayin da suke rarraba ruwan inabin su ba wa kowa abin da yake so.
9 The Queene Vashti made a feast also for the women in the royall house of King Ahashuerosh.
Sarauniya Bashti ita ma ta yi liyafa saboda mata a fadar Sarki Zerzes.
10 Vpon the seuenth daye when the King was merie with wine, he commanded Mehuman, Biztha, Harbona, Bigtha, and Abagtha, Zethar, and Carcas, the seuen eunuches, (that serued in the presence of King Ahashuerosh)
A rana ta bakwai, sa’ad da Sarki Zerzes, ya yi tilis da ruwan inabi, sai ya umarci bābānni bakwai waɗanda suke yin masa hidima, wato, Mehuman, Bizta, Harbona, Bigta, Abagta, Zetar da Karkas,
11 To bring Queene Vashti before the King with the crowne royall, that he might shewe the people and the princes her beautie: for shee was fayre to looke vpon.
su kawo Sarauniya Bashti a gabansa, sanye da rawanin sarautarta, don ta nuna kyanta wa mutane da kuma hakimai, gama ita kyakkyawa ce ƙwarai.
12 But the Queene Vashti refused to come at the Kings worde, which he had giuen in charge to the eunuches: therefore the King was very angry, and his wrath kindled in him.
Amma da masu hidima suka ba da umarnin sarki, sai Sarauniya Bashti ta ƙi zuwa. Wannan ya ɓata wa sarki rai, ya kuma yi fushi ƙwarai.
13 Then the King said to the wise men, that knew the times (for so was the Kings maner towards all that knew the law and the iudgement:
Da yake, al’ada ce sarki yă nemi shawara daga sanannu a batun doka da adalci, sai ya yi magana da masu hikima waɗanda suke fahimtar lokuta
14 And the next vnto him was Carshena, Shethar, Admatha, Tarshish, Meres, Marsena, and Memucan the seuen princes of Persia and Media, which sawe the Kings face, and sate the first in the kingdome)
suke kuma mafi kusa da sarki. Waɗannan masu hikima kuwa su ne, Karshena, Shetar, Admata, Tarshish, Meres, Marsena da kuma Memukan. Su hakimai bakwai ne na Farisa da Mediya waɗanda suke da dama ta musamman ta kaiwa ga sarki, suke kuma da matsayi mafi girma a masarautar.
15 What shall we do vnto the Queene Vashti according to the law, because she did not according to the worde of the King Ahashuerosh by the commission of the eunuches?
Ya ce, “Bisa ga doka, me za a yi wa Sarauniya Bashti? Gama ta ƙi yin biyayya da umarnin sarki Zerzes da bābānni suka kai mata?”
16 Then Memucan answered before the King and the Princes, The Queene Vashti hath not only done euill against the King, but against all the princes, and against all the people that are in all the prouinces of King Ahashuerosh.
Sai Memukan ya amsa a gaban sarki da hakimai ya ce, “Sarauniya Bashti ta yi laifi, ba ga sarki kaɗai ba, amma ga dukan hakimai ma, da kuma mutanen dukan lardunan sarki Zerzes.
17 For the acte of the Queene shall come abroade vnto all women, so that they shall despise their husbands in their owne eyes, and shall say, The King Ahashuerosh comanded Vashti the Queene to be brought in before him, but she came not.
Domin halin Sarauniya zai zama sananne ga dukan mata, ta haka kuwa za su ƙasƙantar da mazansu su kuma ce, ‘Sarki Zerzes ya umarta a kawo Sarauniya Bashti a gabansa, amma ta ƙi zuwa.’
18 So shall the princesses of Persia and Media this day say vnto all the Kings Princes, when they heare of the acte of the Queene: thus shall there be much despitefulnesse and wrath.
Wannan rana matan hakiman Farisa da na Mediya waɗanda suka ji game da halin sarauniya, za su yi haka wa dukan hakiman sarki. Zai zama babu ƙarshen rashin bangirma da kuma reni.
19 If it please the King, let a royal decree proceede from him, and let it be written among the statutes of Persia, and Media, (and let it not be transgressed) that Vashti come no more before King Ahashuerosh: and let the King giue her royal estate vnto her companion that is better then she.
“Saboda haka, in ya gamshi sarki, bari yă ba da hatimi na sarauta, bari kuma a rubuta shi cikin dokokin Farisa da Mediya, wanda ba za a iya sokewa ba, cewa Bashti ba za tă ƙara zuwa gaban sarkin Zerzes ba. Bari kuma sarki yă ba da matsayinta na sarauta ga wata, wadda ta fi ta.
20 And when the decree of the King which shalbe made, shalbe published throughout all his kingdome (though it be great) all the women shall giue their husbands honour, both great and small.
Ta haka, sa’ad da aka yi shelar dokar sarki ko’ina a fāɗin masarautarsa, dukan mata za su ba wa mazansu girma, daga ƙarami har zuwa babba.”
21 And this saying pleased the King and the princes, and the King did according to the worde of Memucan.
Sarki da hakimansa suka gamsu da wannan shawara. Saboda haka sarki ya yi kamar yadda Memukan ya faɗa.
22 For he sent letters into all the prouinces of the King, into euery prouince according to the writing thereof, and to euery people after their language, that euery man should beare rule in his owne house, and that he should publish it in the language of that same people.
Ya aika da saƙo zuwa ga dukan ɓangarorin masarautar, zuwa ga kowane lardi a irin nasa rubutu, zuwa kuma ga kowane mutane a nasu harshe, ana shelar a kowane yare na mutane, cewa kowane mutum yă zama mai mulki bisa gidansa.
