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)
I KE kau ia Ahasuero, (o Ahasuero ia i alii ai maluna o na aina hookahi haneri me ka iwakaluakumamahiku, mai Inia mai a Aitiopia: )
2 In those dayes when the King Ahashuerosh sate on his throne, which was in the palace of Shushan,
Ia manawa, i ka wa e noho ana o Ahasuero ke alii maluna o ka nohoalii o kona aupuni, aia ma Susana ka pakaua;
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,
I ke kolu o ka makahiki o kona nohoalii ana, hana iho la ia i ahaaina na kona poe alii a pau, a me kana poe kauwa; a aia hoi imua ona ka poe koa o Peresia a me Media, o na kaukaualii hoi, a me na'lii o na aina:
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.
A hoike oia i ka waiwai nani o kona aupuni, a me ka hanohauo o kona maikai nui, no na la he nui loa, hookahi haneri a me kanawalu mau la.
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,
A hala ia mau la, alaila, hana iho la ke alii i ahaaina, i ehiku la, ma ke kahua pakaua o ka hale o ke alii, no na mea a pau i loaa ma Susana ka pakaua, no na mea koikoi a me na makaainana.
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.
O na paku hoi, he lole huluhulu keokeo, a he olona keokeo, a me ka poni, ua paa i na kaula huluhulu keokeo, maikai, a me ka ulaula, i nakiia iloko o na komo dala, ma na kia pohaku keokeo. O na noho hilinai, he gula ia a me ke kala maluna o ke kahua pohaku omaomao, a keokeo, i hoonoho pu ia me na momi a me ka ea.
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.
Haawi lakou i ka mea inu maloko o na kiaha gula, a ua like ole kekahi kiaha me kekahi kiaha, a ua nui ka waina maikai, e like me ka aoao mau o ke alii.
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.
Mamuli o ke kanawai ka inu ana, aole mea nana i koi aku; no ka mea, pela ke kauoha a ke alii i na luna a pau o kona hale, e hana kela kanaka keia kanaka e like me kona manao iho.
9 The Queene Vashti made a feast also for the women in the royall house of King Ahashuerosh.
O Vaseti, ke alii wahine kekahi, hana iho la oia i ahaaina na na wahine ma ka halealii o ke alii o Ahasuero.
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 i ka hiku o ka la, i ka wa i olioli ai ka naau o ke alii i ka waina, olelo ae la ia ia Mehumana, a me Bizeta, a me Harebona, a me Bigeta, a me Abageta, a me Zetara, a me Karekasa, na luna ehiku i hookauwa ma ke alo o ke alii, o Ahasuero,
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.
E lawe mai lakou ia Vaseti, i ke alii wahine imua i ke alo o ke alii, me ka papale alii, e hoike aku i na kanaka a me na'lii, i kona maikai; no ka mea, he helehelena maikai kona.
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.
Hoole ae la ke alii wahine, o Vaseti, aole e hele ma ka olelo a ke alii, ana i kauoha ae i na luna. Nolaila, ukiuki loa iho la ke alii, a wela iho la kona huhu iloko ona.
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:
Alaila, olelo ae la ke alii i ka poe akamai, i ka poe i ike i na manawa, (no ka mea, pela no ke alii i hana'i imua i ke alo o ka poe a pau i ike i ke kanawai a me ka hooponopono:
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)
Eia ka poe i pili ia ia, o Karesena, o Setara, o Ademata, o Taresisa, o Meresa, o Maresena, a me Memukana, ehiku alii o Peresia, a me Media, a ike lakou i ka maka o ke alii, a o lakou na mea noho kiekie maloko o ke aupuni: )
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?
Mamuli o ke kanawai, pehea la kakou e hana'i i ke alii wahine ia Vaseti, no kona malama ole ana i ka olelo a ke alii, a Ahasuero, ma ka lima o na luna?
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.
Alaila, olelo aku la o Memukana imua i ke alo o ke alii, a me na'lii, Ua hana hewa o Vaseti ke alii wahine, aole i ke alii wale no, aka, i na'lii a pau, a me na kanaka a pau e noho ana ma na aina a pau o Ke alii o Ahasuero.
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.
No ka mea, e kaulana aku no ia hana a ke alii wahine, i na wahine a pau, nolaila, e hoowahawahaia'i ka lakou poe kane e lakou, i ka wa e kaulana'i ke kanoha ana a ke alii a Ahasuero e laweia mai imua ona o Vaseti ke alii wahine, aole ia i hele mai.
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.
A i keia la, o na'lii wahine a pau o Peresia, a me Media, ka poe i lohe i ka nana a ke alii wahine, e olelo no lakou pela i na kuhina o ke alii. Pela e nui loa ai auanei ka hoowahawaha ana, a me ka ukiuki.
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.
Ina he maikai i ko ke alii manao, e hoolahaia'ku no kekahi olelo no ke aupuni, a e kakauia no hoi ia ma na kanawai o Peresia a me Media, i haule ole ia, aole loa e hele hou mai o Vaseti imua i ke alo o ke alii, o Ahasuero; a e haawi aku hoi ke alii i ko Vaseti waiwai alii na kekahi i oi aku ka pono mamua o kona.
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.
Aia hoolahaia ke kanawai a ke alii e hana'i, ma kona aupuni a pau, (no ka mea he nui ia, ) alaila e hoomaikai no na wahine i ka lakou poe kane i na mea nui a me na mea uuku.
21 And this saying pleased the King and the princes, and the King did according to the worde of Memucan.
Ua maikai keia olelo i ka manao o ke alii, a me na kuhina, a hana iho la ke alii e like me ka olelo a Memukana.
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.
A hoouna ae la ia i na palapala i na mokuna a pau o ke alii, i kela mokuna i keia mokuna, e like me ka mea i palapalaia, a i kela lahuikanaka i keia lahuikanaka, e like me ka lakou olelo iho, e noho haku no kela kanaka keia kanaka ma kona hale iho; a hoolahaia'ku la keia ma ka olelo o na lahuikanakaa pau.
