Esther 1
1 And it came to pass, in the days of Ahasuerus, —the same, Ahasuerus that reigned from India even unto Ethiopia, a hundred and twenty-seven provinces:
Kadagidi aldaw a panagturay ni Ahasuero (daytoy ni Ahasuero a nagturay manipud India agingga iti Etiopia, kadagiti 127 a probinsia),
2 in those days, —when King Ahasuerus was sitting on the throne of his kingdom, which was in Shusan the palace;
kadagidiay nga al-aldaw, nakatugaw ni Ari Ahasuero iti naarian a tronona iti palasiona idiay Susa.
3 in the third year of his reign, he made a banquet unto all his rulers, and his servants, —the power of Persia and Media, the nobles and the rulers being before him;
Iti maikatlo a tawen a panagturayna, nangipaay isuna iti padaya para kadagiti amin nga opisial ken adipenna. Kaduana ti armada ti Persia ken Media, dagiti natatakneng a tattao, ken dagiti gobernador dagiti probinsia.
4 when he showed the riches of the glory of his kingdom, and the splendour of his excellent majesty, many days, a hundred and eighty days;
Impakitana ti kinabaknang ti pagarianna ken ti dayaw iti dayag ti kinatan-okna iti adu nga al-aldaw, iti 180 nga aldaw.
5 that, when these days were fulfilled, the king made—for all the people that were present in Shusan the palace, both for great and small—a banquet, seven days, —in the court of the garden of the palace of the king:
Idi nalpasen dagitoy nga al-aldaw, nangipaay ti ari iti padaya a nagbayag iti pito nga aldaw. Daytoy ket para kadagiti amin a tattao nga adda iti palasio ti Susa, manipud iti katatan-okan agingga iti kanununumoan. Naangay daytoy iti paraangan ti minuyungan iti palasio ti ari.
6 white stuff, cotton and blue, being held fast with cords of fine linen and purple, upon rods of silver, and pillars of white marble, —the couches being of gold and silver, upon a pavement of alabaster and white marble, and pearl and black marble.
Ti paraangan ti minuyungan ket naarkusan kadagiti kurtina a naaramid iti puraw a lupot ken lila nga addaan iti tali a lino ken lila, a nakabitin kadagiti singsing a pirak manipud iti adigi a marmol. Adda dagiti pagtugawan a balitok ken pirak iti pagbaddekan a nabaldusaan iti nangisit a bato, marmol, balay ti perlas, ken adda marisna a batbato.
7 And they gave them drink in vessels of gold, vessels, from vessels, being diverse, —even the wine of the kingdom in abundance, by the bounty of the king.
Naidasar dagiti mainum kadagiti balitok a kopa. Tunggal kopa ket naidumduma, ket adda naiyeg nga adu nga arak ti ari gapu iti kinamanangited iti ari.
8 And, the drinking, was according to the law, no one compelling, —for, so, had the king appointed unto every chief of his household, that every man, should do according to his pleasure.
Ti panagiinom ket nagtultuloy kas panangsurot iti bilin, “Nasken nga awan ti pinnilitan.” Imbilin ti ari kadagiti amin a trabahador ti palasiona nga aramidenda ti aniaman a tarigagayan ti tunggal sangaili.
9 Also Vashti the queen, made a banquet for the women, —in the royal house which belonged to King Ahasuerus.
Nangangay met iti padaya ni Reyna Vasti para kadagiti babbai iti palasio ni Ari Ahasuero.
10 On the seventh day, when merry was the heart of the king with wine, he commanded Mehuman, Biztha, Harbona, Bigtha, and Abagtha, Zethar and Carcas, the seven eunuchs who were waiting before King Ahasuerus, —
Iti maikapito nga aldaw, idi agragragsak ti puso ti ari gapu iti arak, imbagana kada Mehuman, Bizta, Harbona, Bigta, Abagta, Zetar, ken Carcas (dagiti pito nga opisial nga agserserbi kenkuana),
11 to bring in Vashti the queen, with the royal crown, —to show the peoples and the rulers her beauty, for, of pleasing appearance, was she.
nga iyegda ni Reyna Vasti kenkuana a nakakorona. Kayatna nga ipakita kadagiti tattao ken kadagiti opisial ti kinapintasna, ta makapasiddaaw ti langana.
12 But Queen Vashti refused to come in at the command of the king, which was given through the eunuchs, —and the king was exceeding wroth, and, his anger, burned within him.
Ngem nagkedked ni Reyna Vasti a sumurot iti sao ti ari nga inyeg kenkuana dagiti opisial. Ket nakaunget unay ti ari; simged iti pungtot iti kaungganna.
13 Then said the king unto the wise men having knowledge of the times, —for, so, was the manner of the king before all having knowledge of law and judgment;
Nakiuman ngarud ti ari kadagiti lallaki a mabigbigbig a masirib, a makaawat kadagiti panawen (ta daytoy iti pamuspusan iti ari no maipapan kadagiti isu amin a nalalaing iti linteg ken panangukom).
14 and, near unto him, were Carshena, Shethar, Admatha, Tarshish, Meres, Marsena, Memucan, —the seven rulers of Persia and Media, who used to behold the face of the king, who sat first, in the kingdom—
Ita dagiti nasinged kenkuana ket da Carsena, Setar, Admata, Tarsis, Meres, Marsena, ken Memucan, dagiti pito a prinsipe iti Persia ken Media. Mabalinda iti umasideg iti ari, ken iggemda dagiti kangangatoan a akem iti pagarian.
15 According to law, what ought to be done, with Queen Vashti, —for that she hath not performed the command of King Ahasuerus, through the eunuchs?
“Kas panangtungpal iti linteg, ania ti maaramid kenni Reyna Vasti gapu ta saan isuna a nagtulnog iti bilin ni Ari Ahasuero, nga inyeg kenkuana dagiti opisial?”
16 Then said Memucan before the king and the rulers, Not against the king alone, hath Vashti the queen acted perversely, —but against all the rulers, and against all the peoples, who are in all the provinces of King Ahasuerus.
Kinuna ni Memucan iti sangngoanan ti ari ken kadagiti opisial, “Saan laeng a maibusor iti ari ti biddut a naaramid ni reyna Vasti, ngem maibusor met kadagiti amin nga opisial ken amin a tattao nga adda kadagiti probinsia ni Ari Ahasuero.
17 For the report of the queen, will go forth, unto all women, so putting contempt upon their lords, in their eyes, —when it is reported to them, King Ahasuerus, commanded Vashti the queen to be brought in before him, but she came not.
Ta maamoanto dagiti amin a babbai ti inaramid ti reyna. Daytoyto ti pakaigapoan a tratoenda ti assawada nga addaan iti gura. Kunadanto, 'Imbilin iti ari nga iyegda ni reyna Vasti iti sangoananna, ngem nagkedked isuna.'
18 And, this day, shall the ladies of Persia and Media, who have heard the report of the queen, tell it, unto all the lords of the king, —with enough of contempt and wrath.
Sakbay nga agleppas daytoy nga aldaw dagiti nataktakneng a babbai iti Persia ken Media a nakangngeg iti daytoy a banag maipangep iti reyna ket ibagadanto met kadagiti amin nga opisial iti ari. Addanto nakaro a gura ken pungtot.
19 If, unto the king, it seem good, let there go forth a royal declaration from before him, and let it be written among the laws of Persia and Media, so that it shall not pass away, —That Vashti, is not to come in, before King Ahasuerus, and, her royal estate, let the king give unto her neighbour, who is better than she.
No makaay-ayo daytoy iti ari, mangipaulog isuna iti bilin nga aggapo kenkuana, ket mapalubusan a maisurat daytoy kadagiti linteg iti Persia ken Medes, a saanto a mabaliwan, a saanton a makaasideg ni Vasti kenkuana. Ited koma ti ari ti saadna a kas reyna iti sabali a nasaysayaat ngem isuna.
20 When the edict of the king which he shall make, is published throughout all his kingdom, for, great, it is, then, all wives, will give honour unto their lords, both great and small.
Inton naipablaak ti bilin ti ari iti entero a nalawa a pagarianna, raemento amin dagiti babbai dagiti assawada, manipud iti katatan-okan agingga iti kanunumoan.”
21 And the thing seemed good in the eyes of the king, and the rulers, —and the king did according to the word of Memucan.
Naay-ayo ti ari ken dagiti natatakneng a lallaki iti daytoy a balakad, ket inaramid ti ari kas insingasing ni Memucan.
22 So he sent letters, into all the provinces of the king, into every province according to she writing thereof, and unto every people according to their tongue, —That every man should he ruler in his own house, and issue his commands, according to the tongue of his people.
Nangipatulod ti ari iti surat kadagiti amin a probinsia a masakupan iti pagarianna, iti tunggal probinsia iti bukodda a pannurat, ken iti tunggal tattao iti bukodda a pagsasao. Imbilinna nga amin a lallaki ket masapul nga isu iti amo iti bukodna a pagtaengan. Naited daytoy a bilin iti pagsasao iti tunggal tattao nga adda iti emperio.
