Esther 1
1 Now it happened in the days of Achashyerosh (this is Achashyerosh who reigned from India even to Ethiopia, over one hundred twenty-seven provinces),
Ga abin da ya faru a zamanin Zerzes. Zerzes ya yi mulki bisan larduna 127 daga Indiya zuwa Kush.
2 that in those days, when the King Achashyerosh sat on the throne of his kingdom, which was in Shushan the palace,
A lokacin nan, Sarki Zerzes ya yi mulki daga gadon sarauta, cikin mazaunin masarautar Shusha.
3 in the third year of his reign, he made a feast for all his officials and his servants; the power of Persia and Media, the nobles and princes of the provinces, being 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 He displayed the riches of his glorious kingdom and the honor of his excellent majesty many days, even one hundred eighty days.
Kwanaki 180 cif, ya nuna yawan dukiyar masarautarsa, da ɗaukakarta da kuma darajar girmansa.
5 When these days were fulfilled, the king made a seven day feast for all the people who were present in Shushan the palace, both great and small, in the court of the garden of the king's 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 There were hangings of white, green, and blue material, fastened with cords of fine linen and purple to silver rings and marble pillars. The couches were of gold and silver, on a pavement of red, white, yellow, and black marble.
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 They gave them drinks in golden vessels of various kinds, including royal wine in abundance, according to the bounty 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 In accordance with the law, the drinking was not compulsory; for so the king had instructed all the officials of his house, that they should do according to every man's 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 Also Vashti the queen made a feast for the women in the royal house which belonged to King Achashyerosh.
Sarauniya Bashti ita ma ta yi liyafa saboda mata a fadar Sarki Zerzes.
10 On the seventh day, when the heart of the king was merry with wine, he commanded Mehuman, Biztha, Harbona, Bigtha, and Abagtha, Zethar, and Carcass, the seven eunuchs who served in the presence of Achashyerosh the king,
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 Vashti the queen before the king with the royal crown, to show the people and the officials her beauty; for she was beautiful.
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 queen Vashti refused to come at the king's commandment by the eunuchs. Therefore the king was very angry, and his anger burned 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, who knew the times, (for it was the king's custom to consult those who knew law and judgment;
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 to him were Carshena, Shethar, Admatha, Tarshish, Meres, Marsena, and Memucan, the seven officials of Persia and Media, who saw the king's face, and sat first in the kingdom),
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 to the queen Vashti according to law, because she has not done the bidding of the King Achashyerosh by the eunuchs?"
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 Memucan answered before the king and the officials, "Vashti the queen has not done wrong to just the king, but also to all the officials and to all the people who are in all the provinces of the King Achashyerosh.
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 this deed of the queen will become known to all women, causing them to show contempt for their husbands, when it is reported, 'King Achashyerosh commanded Vashti the queen to be brought in before him, but she did not come.'
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 Today, the princesses of Persia and Media who have heard of the queen's deed will tell all the king's officials. This will cause much contempt 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 commandment go from him, and let it be written among the laws of the Persians and the Medes, so that it cannot be altered, that Vashti may never again come before King Achashyerosh; and let the king give her royal estate to another who is better than 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 When the king's decree which he shall make is published throughout all his kingdom (for it is great), all the wives will give their husbands honor, 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 advice pleased the king and the officials, and the king did according to the word 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 king's provinces, into every province according to its writing, and to every people in their language, that every man should rule his own house, speaking in the language of his own 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.
