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.
Lẹ́yìn nǹkan wọ̀nyí, Ahaswerusi ọba sì dáwọ́ ìbínú un rẹ̀ dúró, ó rántí i Faṣti àti ohun tí ó ti ṣe àti àṣẹ tí ó pa nípa tirẹ̀.
2 And the Kings seruants that ministred vnto him, sayd, Let them seeke for the King beautifull yong virgins,
Nígbà náà ni ìránṣẹ́ ọba tí ó wà ní ọ̀dọ̀ ọ rẹ̀ wí pé, “Jẹ́ kí a wá ọmọbìnrin arẹwà tí kò ì ti mọ ọkùnrin rí fún ọba.
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.
Àti pé kí ọba kí ó yan àwọn aláṣẹ ní gbogbo agbègbè ilẹ̀ ọba láti kó gbogbo àwọn arẹwà ọmọbìnrin wọ̀nyí jọ sí ilé àwọn obìnrin ní ilé ìṣọ́ Susa. Kí a kó wọn fún ìtọ́jú Hegai, ìwẹ̀fà ọba, ẹni tí ó ṣe olùtọ́jú àwọn obìnrin; kí a ṣe ìtọ́jú u wọn dáradára.
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.
Nígbà náà kí ọmọbìnrin tí ó bá tẹ́ ọba lọ́rùn kí ó jẹ́ ayaba dípò Faṣti.” Ìmọ̀ràn yìí tẹ́ ọba lọ́rùn, ó sì tẹ̀lé e.
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,
Ó sì ṣe ní ìgbà náà ará a Júù kan wà ní ilé ìṣọ́ ti Susa, ẹni tí orúkọ rẹ̀ ń jẹ́ Mordekai ọmọ Jairi, ọmọ Ṣimei, ọmọ Kiṣi, ẹ̀yà Benjamini,
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)
ẹni tí Nebukadnessari ọba Babeli ti gbé lọ sí ìgbèkùn láti Jerusalẹmu, lára àwọn tí wọ́n kó ní ìgbèkùn pẹ̀lú ọba Jekoniah ọba Juda.
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
Mordekai ní arákùnrin kan ẹni tí orúkọ rẹ̀ ń jẹ́ Hadassa, ẹni tí ó tọ́ dàgbà nítorí tí kò ní baba bẹ́ẹ̀ sì ni kò ní ìyá. Obìnrin yìí, ẹni tí a tún mọ̀ sí Esteri, ó dára ó sì lẹ́wà, Mordekai mú u gẹ́gẹ́ bí ọmọ rẹ̀ nígbà tí baba àti ìyá rẹ̀ ti kú.
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.
Nígbà tí a ti kéde òfin àti àṣẹ ọba, ọ̀pọ̀lọpọ̀ àwọn ọmọbìnrin ni a kó wá sí ilé ti ìṣọ́ Susa, sí abẹ́ ìtọ́jú Hegai. A sì mú Esteri náà wá sí ààfin ọba pẹ̀lú, a fà á lé Hegai lọ́wọ́, ẹni tí ó jẹ́ alábojútó ilé àwọn obìnrin.
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.
Ọmọbìnrin náà sì wù ú, ó sì rí ojúrere rẹ̀, lẹ́sẹ̀kẹsẹ̀ ó pèsè àwọn ohun tí ó dára àti oúnjẹ pàtàkì fún un. Ó sì yan àwọn ìránṣẹ́bìnrin wúńdíá méje láti ààfin ọba òun àti àwọn ìránṣẹ́bìnrin náà lọ sí ibi tí ó dára jù nínú ilé àwọn obìnrin.
10 But Ester shewed not her people and her kinred: for Mordecai had charged her, that shee should not tell it.
Esteri kò tí ì sọ nípa àwọn ènìyàn àti ìdílé e rẹ̀, nítorí Mordekai ti pàṣẹ fún un pé kí ó má ṣe sọ ọ́.
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.
Ní ojoojúmọ́ ni Mordekai máa ń rìn ní iwájú ilé àwọn obìnrin láti wo bí Esteri ṣe wà ní àlàáfíà àti ohun tí ó ṣẹlẹ̀ sí i.
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:
Kí àkókò tó tó fún obìnrin kọ̀ọ̀kan láti lọ sí ọ̀dọ̀ ọba Ahaswerusi, ó ní láti lo ohun èlò tí ń mú ara lẹ́wà tí a yàn fún àwọn obìnrin fún oṣù méjìlá, yóò lo òróró òjìá fún oṣù mẹ́fà, yóò sì lo ohun èlò olóòórùn dídùn tùràrí àti ìpara fún oṣù mẹ́fà pẹ̀lú.
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.
Báyìí ni yóò ṣe lọ síwájú ọba: ohunkóhun tí ó bá béèrè ni wọ́n fi fún un láti inú ilé àwọn obìnrin lọ sí ààfin ọba.
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.
Ní alẹ́ ni yóò lọ síbẹ̀, tí ó bá sì di òwúrọ̀ yóò padà sí ilé kejì nínú ilé àwọn obìnrin ní abẹ́ ìtọ́jú Ṣaaṣigasi ìwẹ̀fà ọba ẹni tí ó máa ń ṣe ìtọ́jú àwọn àlè. Òun kò ní lọ sí ọ̀dọ̀ ọba mọ́ àyàfi tí inú ọba bá dùn sí i, tí ó sì ránṣẹ́ pé ó ní orúkọ obìnrin.
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.
Nígbà tí ó kan Esteri (ọmọbìnrin tí Mordekai gbà ṣe ọmọ, ọmọbìnrin arákùnrin rẹ̀ tí ó ń jẹ́ Abihaili) láti lọ sí ọ̀dọ̀ ọba, wọn kò béèrè fún ohunkóhun ju èyí tí Hegai, ìwẹ̀fà ọba ẹni tí ó jẹ́ olùtọ́jú ilé àwọn obìnrin sọ pé kí ó ṣe lọ. Esteri sì rí ojúrere lọ́dọ̀ gbogbo àwọn tí ó rí i.
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.
A mú Esteri lọ síwájú ọba Ahaswerusi ní ibùgbé ọba ní oṣù kẹwàá, tí ó jẹ́ oṣù Tebeti, ní ọdún keje ìjọba rẹ̀.
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.
Esteri sì wu ọba ju àwọn obìnrin tókù lọ, Ó sì rí ojúrere àti oore-ọ̀fẹ́ gbà ju ti àwọn wúńdíá tókù lọ. Nítorí náà ó fi adé ọba dé e ní orí ó sì fi ṣe ayaba dípò Faṣti.
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.
Ọba sì ṣe àsè ńlá, àsè Esteri, fún gbogbo àwọn ọlọ́lá àti àwọn ìjòyè e rẹ̀. Ó sì kéde ìsinmi jákèjádò ìgbèríko ó sì pín ẹ̀bùn fún wọn pẹ̀lú bí ọba ṣe lawọ́ tó.
19 And whe the virgins were gathered ye second time, then Mordecai sate in the Kings gate.
Nígbà tí àwọn wúńdíá tún péjọ ní ìgbà kejì, Mordekai jókòó sí ẹnu-ọ̀nà ọba.
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.
Ṣùgbọ́n Esteri pa àṣírí ìdílé e rẹ̀ àti ibi tí ó ti wá mọ́ gẹ́gẹ́ bí Mordekai ṣe sọ fún un pé kí ó ṣe, nítorí tí ó ń tẹ̀lé àṣẹ tí Mordekai fún un gẹ́gẹ́ bí ó ṣe máa ń ṣe nígbà tí ó wà ní ọ̀dọ̀ Mordekai.
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.
Ní àsìkò tí Mordekai jókòó sí ẹnu-ọ̀nà ọba, Bigitana àti Tereṣi, àwọn ìjòyè ọba méjì tí wọ́n máa ń ṣọ́ ẹnu-ọ̀nà, wọ́n bínú, wọ́n sì ń wá ọ̀nà láti pa ọba Ahaswerusi.
22 And the thing was knowen to Mordecai, and he tolde it vnto Queene Ester, and Ester certified the King thereof in Mordecais name:
Ṣùgbọ́n Mordekai sì mọ̀ nípa ọ̀tẹ̀ náà, ó sọ̀ fún ayaba Esteri, Esteri sì sọ fún ọba, wọ́n sì fi ọlá fún Mordekai.
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.
Nígbà tí wọ́n sì wádìí ọ̀rọ̀ náà tí ó sì jásí òtítọ́, a sì so àwọn ìjòyè méjèèjì náà kọ́. Gbogbo nǹkan wọ̀nyí ni a kọ sínú ìwé ìtàn ní iwájú ọba.
