Esther 2
1 After these things, when the wrath of King Ahashuerosh was appeased, he remembred Vashti, and what she had done, and what was decreed against her.
Sima na mikolo, kanda ya mokonzi Kizerisesi ekitaki; akomaki kokanisa Vasti, makambo oyo asalaki mpe mobeko oyo azwaki na tina na ye.
2 And the Kings seruants that ministred vnto him, sayd, Let them seeke for the King beautifull yong virgins,
Bato oyo basalaka epai ya mokonzi balobaki na ye: — Tika ete balukela mokonzi bilenge basi ya kitoko oyo bayebi nanu nzoto ya mibali te.
3 And let the King appoynt officers through all the prouinces of his kingdome, and let them gather all the beautiful yong virgins vnto the palace of Shushan, into the house of the women, vnder the hand of Hege the Kings eunuche, keeper of the women, to giue them their things for purification.
Tika ete mokonzi atia bato kati na etuka moko na moko ya bokonzi na ye, mpo ete bamema na ndako ya basi oyo ezalaka na Size, engumba mokonzi, bilenge basi nyonso ya kitoko oyo bayebi nanu nzoto ya mibali te. Tika ete bapesa bango na maboko ya Ege, kalaka ya lokumu mpo na mokonzi, oyo baboma ye mokongo mpe abatelaka basi; mpe tika ete bapesa bango mafuta mpe malasi oyo ekomisaka bato kitoko.
4 And the mayde that shall please the King, let her reigne in the steade of Vashti. And this pleased the King, and he did so.
Tika ete elenge mwasi oyo akosepelisa mokonzi akoma mwasi ya mokonzi na esika ya Vasti. Likanisi oyo esepelisaki mokonzi mpe asalelaki yango.
5 In the citie of Shushan, there was a certaine Iewe, whose name was Mordecai the sonne of Iair, the sonne of Shimei, the sonne of Kish a man of Iemini,
Kati na Size, engumba mokonzi batonga makasi, ezalaki na Moyuda moko ya libota ya Benjame; kombo na ye ezalaki « Maridoshe. » Maridoshe azalaki mwana mobali ya Yairi, mwana mobali ya Shimei, mwana mobali ya Kishi.
6 Which had bene caryed away from Ierusalem with the captiuitie that was caryed away with Ieconiah King of Iudah (whom Nebuchad-nezzar King of Babel had caryed away)
Maridoshe azalaki kati na bato oyo Nabukodonozori, mokonzi ya Babiloni, amemaki na bowumbu, longwa na Yelusalemi, elongo na Yekonia, mokonzi ya Yuda.
7 And he nourished Hadassah, that is Ester, his vncles daughter: for she had neither father nor mother, and the mayde was fayre, and beautifull to looke on: and after the death of her father, and her mother, Mordecai tooke her for his own daughter
Maridoshe azalaki kobokola Adasa, mwana mwasi ya noko na ye mpo ete azalaki lisusu na tata mpe na mama te. Nzokande, elenge mwasi oyo kombo na ye mosusu ezalaki « Ester » azalaki na ezaleli malamu mpe elongi kitoko. Tango tata mpe mama na ye bakufaki, Maridoshe azwaki ye mpe akomaki kobokola ye lokola mwana na ye penza ya mwasi.
8 And when the Kings commandement, and his decree was published, and many maydes were brought together to the palace of Shushan, vnder the hand of Hege, Ester was brought also vnto the Kings house vnder the hande of Hege the keeper of the women.
Tango bapanzaki sango ya mitindo mpe ya mobeko ya mokonzi, basangisaki bilenge basi ebele na engumba Size, mpe Ege azalaki kobatela bango. Boye bamemaki mpe Ester kati na ndako ya mokonzi mpe bapesaki ye na maboko ya Ege, mosali oyo azalaki kobatela ndako ya basi ya mokonzi.
9 And the mayde pleased him, and she founde fauour in his sight: therefore he caused her things for purification to be giuen her speedily, and her state, and seuen comely maides to be giuer her out of the Kings house, and he gaue change to her and to her maydes of the best in the house of the women.
Ester asepelisaki Ege mpe azwaki ngolu na miso na ye. Mbala moko, apesaki ye biloko ya monzele mpe bilei oyo asengeli kolia; apesaki ye mpe basali sambo ya basi oyo aponaki kati na ndako ya mokonzi. Bongo atiaki ye elongo na basali na ye ya basi kati na shambre oyo elekaki kitoko kati na ndako ya basi ya mokonzi.
10 But Ester shewed not her people and her kinred: for Mordecai had charged her, that shee should not tell it.
Ester atikalaki te koyebisa ekolo mpe libota na ye, pamba te Maridoshe apekisaki ye koloba yango.
11 Aud Mordecai walked euery day before the court of the womens house, to knowe if Ester did well, and what should be done with her.
Mikolo nyonso, Maridoshe azalaki koleka liboso ya lopango ya ndako ya basi ya mokonzi mpo na kozwa basango ya Ester mpe koyeba ndenge nini bazalaki kobatela ye.
12 And when the course of euery mayd came, to go in to King Ahashuerosh, after that she had bene twelue moneths according to the maner of the women (for so were the dayes of their purifications accomplished, sixe moneths with oyle of myrrhe, and sixe moneths with sweete odours and in the purifying of the women:
Kolanda ndenge ekatamaki, liboso ete elenge mwasi nyonso akende kokutana na mokonzi Kizerisesi, basengelaki kosala sanza zomi na mibale mpo na kobongisa ye mpo ete akoma kitoko: sanza motoba na mafuta ya mire, mpe sanza motoba mosusu na biloko ya monzele.
13 And thus went the maides vnto the King) whatsoeuer she required, was giuen her, to go with her out of the womens house vnto ye kings house.
Tala ndenge elenge mwasi nyonso oyo azalaki kokende epai ya mokonzi azalaki: Wuta na ndako ya basi ya mokonzi kino na ndako ya mokonzi, bazalaki kopesa ye eloko nyonso oyo azalaki na yango na bosenga.
14 In the euening she went, and on the morow she returned into the second house of the women vnder the hand of Shaashgaz the Kings eunuche, which kept the concubines: shee came in to the King no more, except shee pleased the King, and that she were called by name.
Boye elenge mwasi azalaki kokende epai ya mokonzi na pokwa; mpe na tongo ya mokolo oyo ezalaki kolanda, azalaki kokende na ndako mosusu ya basi ya mokonzi, oyo Shashigazi azalaki kokamba. Shashigazi azalaki kalaka ya lokumu mpo na mokonzi, baboma ye mokongo mpe azalaki na mokumba ya kobatela bamakangu ya mokonzi. Elenge mwasi azalaki lisusu te kozonga liboso ya mokonzi, longola kaka soki mokonzi ayoki posa na ye mpe abengisi ye na kombo.
15 Now when the course of Ester the daughter of Abihail the vncle of Mordecai (which had taken her as his owne daughter) came, that shee should go in to the King, she desired nothing, but what Hege the Kings eunuche the keeper of the women sayde: and Ester founde fauour in the sight of all them that looked vpon her.
Tango ekomaki ngala ya Ester ya kokende epai ya mokonzi; Ester, mwana mwasi ya Abiyaili, noko ya Maridoshe oyo abokolaki Ester, amemaki eloko mosusu te, bobele oyo Ege, kalaka ya lokumu, oyo baboma ye mokongo mpe azalaki na kobatela ndako ya basi ya mokonzi, ayebisaki ye. Mpe Ester azwaki ngolu na miso ya moto nyonso oyo azalaki komona ye.
16 So Ester was taken vnto King Ahashuerosh into his house royall in the tenth moneth, which is the moneth Tebeth, in the seuenth yeere of his reigne.
Ezalaki na sanza ya zomi, sanza ya Tebeti, na mobu ya sambo ya bokonzi ya Kizerisesi nde bamemaki Ester liboso ya mokonzi kati na ndako ya mokonzi.
17 And the King loued Ester aboue all the women, and shee founde grace and fauour in his sight more then all the virgins: so that he set the crowne of the kingdome vpon her head, and made her Queene instead of Vashti.
Mokonzi alingaki Ester makasi koleka basi nyonso. Ester azwaki ngolu mpe andimamaki na miso ya mokonzi koleka bilenge basi mosusu. Bongo mokonzi atiaki motole ya bokonzi na moto ya Ester mpe akomisaki ye mwasi ya mokonzi na esika ya Vasti.
18 Then the King made a great feast vnto all his princes, and his seruants, which was the feast of Ester, and gaue rest vnto the prouinces, and gaue gifts, according to the power of a King.
Mokonzi alambisaki biloko ebele mpo na lokumu ya Ester mpe mpo na kosepela elongo na basali na ye nyonso mpe bakalaka na ye. Akataki lisusu ete, na mokolo wana, bituka nyonso efuta mpako te mpe akabolaki bakado na motema ya esengo.
19 And whe the virgins were gathered ye second time, then Mordecai sate in the Kings gate.
Tango basangisaki bilenge basi na mbala ya mibale, Maridoshe avandaki na ekuke ya mokonzi.
20 Ester had not yet shewed her kindred nor her people, as Mordecai had charged her: for Ester did after the worde of Mordecai, as when she was nourished with him.
Kasi Ester atikalaki te koloba libota na ye to mpe ekolo na ye, ndenge kaka Maridoshe ayebisaki ye ete aloba yango te. Ester azalaki kokoba kobatela toli ya Maridoshe, ndenge kaka azalaki kosala na tango Maridoshe azalaki kobokola ye.
21 In those dayes whe Mordecai sate in the Kings gate, two of the Kings eunuches, Bigthan and Teresh, which kept the doore, were wroth, and sought to lay hand on the King Ahashuerosh.
Tango Maridoshe avandaki na ekuke ya mokonzi, Bigitani mpe Tereshi, basoda mibale oyo baboma bango mokongo mpe bazalaki kobatela ekuke ya mokonzi, batombokaki mpe balukaki koboma mokonzi Kizerisesi.
22 And the thing was knowen to Mordecai, and he tolde it vnto Queene Ester, and Ester certified the King thereof in Mordecais name:
Kasi Maridoshe asosolaki makanisi na bango mpe ayebisaki yango epai ya Ester, mwasi ya mokonzi, oyo mpe ayebisaki yango epai ya mokonzi na kombo ya Maridoshe.
23 and when inquisition was made, it was found so: therefore they were both hanged on a tree: and it was written in the booke of the Chronicles before the King.
Bongo sima na bango koluka koyeba bosolo ya likambo yango, emonanaki ete ezali likambo ya solo. Boye badiembikaki basoda nyonso mibale na nzete mpe bakomaki makambo nyonso wana kati na buku ya masolo, na miso ya mokonzi.
