Pea naʻe hoko ʻo pehē ʻi he ngaahi ʻaho ʻo ʻAhasivelo, (ko e ʻAhasivelo eni naʻe pule mei Initia ʻo aʻu ki ʻItiopea, ki he vahe fonua ʻe teau mā uofulu mā fitu: )
2 Matukũ-inĩ macio-rĩ, Mũthamaki Ahasuerusu aathamakaga arĩ gĩtĩ-inĩ gĩake kĩa ũnene thĩinĩ wa nyũmba ya ũthamaki kũu gĩikaro kĩgitĩre kĩa mũthamaki gĩa Shushani,
ʻI he ngaahi ʻaho ko ia, ʻi heʻene nofo ʻae tuʻi ko ʻAhasivelo, ki he nofoʻa fakatuʻi ʻo hono puleʻanga, ʻaia naʻe ʻi Susani ko e kolo fakaʻeiki.

Naʻa ne fai ʻae kātoanga ki heʻene ngaahi houʻeiki kotoa pē mo ʻene kau tamaioʻeiki ʻi hono tolu taʻu ʻo ʻene pule: ko e mālohi ʻo Peasia mo Mitia, ko e ngaahi houʻeiki, mo kinautolu naʻe pule ki he ngaahi vahe fonua, naʻe ʻi hono ʻao:
4 Nake akĩonania ũtonga mũnene wa ũthamaki wake na ũkengi na riiri wa ũnene wake, ihinda rĩa matukũ 180.
Pea naʻa ne fakahā ai ʻi he ngaahi ʻaho lahi ʻae koloa ʻo hono puleʻanga fakamanavahē, mo e lahi ʻo ʻene ongoongolelei ʻaʻana, ʻio, ʻi he ʻaho ʻe teau ma valungofulu.
5 Matukũ macio maathira, mũthamaki nĩarugithirie iruga, rĩrĩa rĩaikarire mĩthenya mũgwanja, narĩo rĩarĩ thĩinĩ wa mũgũnda ũrĩa warĩ mũirigĩre wa nyũmba ya mũthamaki, rĩkĩrugĩrwo andũ othe kuuma ũrĩa mũnini nginya ũrĩa mũnene, arĩa maarĩ kũu thĩinĩ wa gĩikaro kĩrĩa kĩarĩ kĩirigĩre gĩa Shushani.
Pea ʻi he hili ʻae ngaahi ʻaho ko ia, naʻe fai ʻae kātoanga ʻe he tuʻi ki he kakai kotoa pē naʻe ʻi Susani ko e kolo fakaʻeiki, ki he lahi, mo e siʻi, ʻi he ngaahi ʻaho ʻe fitu, ʻi he lotoʻā ʻoe ngoue ʻi he fale fakaʻeiki ʻoe tuʻi;
6 Mũgũnda ũcio warĩ na mĩcuurio ya gatani ya rangi mwerũ na ya rangi wa bururu, nayo yohanĩtio na mĩkanda ya gatani ya rangi mwerũ na ya rangi wa ndathi, ikoohererwo icũhĩ-inĩ cia betha iria cianyiitithanĩtio na itugĩ cia mahiga marĩa mega merũ. Nĩ kwarĩ na itĩ cia gũikarĩra cia thahabu na cia betha iria ciaigĩtwo kũndũ kwarĩtwo mahiga ma nyaigĩ, na mahiga mega merũ, na mahiga ma rangi wa ngoikoni, na mahiga mangĩ ma goro mũno.
ʻAia naʻe ʻi ai ʻae ngaahi [puipui ]hinehina, mo lanu ʻakau mata, mo lanu moana, naʻe fakamaʻu ʻaki ʻae ngaahi afo ʻoe filo tupenu tuʻovalevale mo e paʻuhiʻuhi ki he ngaahi kaveʻi siliva mo e ngaahi pou ʻoe maka hinehina: naʻe koula mo siliva ʻae ngaahi mohenga naʻe tuʻu ki he faliki [fale ]ʻoe maka hinehina, mo e kulokula, mo e lanu moana, mo e hinehina, mo e ʻuliʻuli.

Pea naʻe fai ʻae inu ʻo fakatatau ki he fono naʻe ʻikai puleʻi mālohi ʻe ha tokotaha he naʻe pehē ʻe he fono ʻae tuʻi ki he kau matāpule kotoa pē ʻo hono fale, ke nau fai taki taha kotoa pē ʻo fakatatau ki hono loto ʻoʻona.
9 O nake Vashiti, mũtumia wa mũthamaki, nĩarugithĩirie andũ-a-nja iruga o kũu nyũmba-inĩ ya ũthamaki ya Mũthamaki Ahasuerusu.
Pea naʻe fai foki ʻe Vasiti ko e tuʻi fefine ʻae kātoanga ki heʻenau fefine ʻi he fale fakatuʻi ʻaia naʻe ʻoe tuʻi ko ʻAhasivelo.
10 Mũthenya wa mũgwanja, hĩndĩ ĩrĩa Mũthamaki Ahasuerusu aakenete nĩ ũndũ wa kũnyua ndibei, agĩatha ndungata iria mũgwanja ciarĩ hakũre iria ciamũtungatagĩra, nĩcio Mehumani, na Bizatha, na Haribona, na Bigatha, na Abagutha, na Zetharu, na Karikasi,
Pea ʻi hono fitu ʻoe ʻaho ʻi he fiefia ʻae loto ʻoe tuʻi ʻi he uaine, naʻa ne fekau kia Mihumani, mo Pisita, mo Hapona, mo Pikita, mo ʻApakita, mo Setali, mo Kakasi, ko e kau tauhi fale ʻe toko fitu naʻe talifekau ʻi he ʻao ʻo ʻAhasivelo ko e tuʻi.
11 irehe Vashiti, ũcio mũtumia wa mũthamaki mbere yake ekĩrĩte tanji yake ya ũthamaki, nĩgeetha onanie ũthaka wake kũrĩ andũ, o na ningĩ kũrĩ andũ arĩa maarĩ igweta, nĩgũkorwo aarĩ kĩĩrorerwa.
Ke nau ʻomi ʻa Vasiti ko e tuʻi fefine ki he ʻao ʻoe tuʻi mo e tatā fakaʻeiki, ke fakahā ki he kakai mo e ngaahi houʻeiki hono hoihoifua: he naʻe hoihoifua ia ke mamata ki ai.
12 No rĩrĩa ndungata icio ciakinyirie watho wa mũthamaki, Vashiti mũtumia wa mũthamaki akĩrega gũthiĩ. Hĩndĩ ĩyo mũthamaki akĩngʼũrĩka mũno na agĩcinwo nĩ marakara.
Ka naʻe ʻikai fie haʻu ʻae tuʻi fefine ko Vasiti ʻi he fekau ʻae tuʻi ʻi he kau talafekau: ko ia naʻe tuputāmaki ai ʻae tuʻi, pea lili ʻene houhau ʻiate ia.
13 Na tondũ warĩ mũtugo wa mũthamaki gũtuĩria maũndũ ma watho na ma kĩhooto, akĩaria na andũ arĩa oogĩ na mooĩ ũhoro wa matukũ ma tene.
Pea pehē ai ʻe he tuʻi ki he kau tangata poto, ʻaia naʻe ʻilo ʻae ngaahi kuonga, (he naʻe pehē pe ʻae anga ʻae tuʻi kiate kinautolu kotoa pē naʻe ʻilo ʻae fono mo e fakamaau:
14 Nao arĩa maakuhĩrĩirie mũthamaki mũno maarĩ Karishena, na Shetharu, na Adamatha, na Tarashishi, na Meresu, na Marisena na Memukani, andũ mũgwanja arĩa maarĩ igweta a Perisia na Media, arĩa meetĩkĩrĩtio kuonanaga na mũthamaki, na nĩo maarĩ anene mũno ũthamaki-inĩ ũcio.
Pea naʻe hoko mo ia ʻa Kasina, mo Setali, mo ʻAtimata, mo Tasisi, mo Melesi, mo Masina, mo Mimukani, ko e houʻeiki ʻe toko fitu ʻo Peasia mo Mitia, ʻaia naʻe mamata ki he fofonga ʻoe tuʻi, pea naʻe nofo ki muʻa ʻi he puleʻanga; )
15 Mũthamaki akĩũria atĩrĩ, “Kũringana na watho-rĩ, Vashiti mũtumia wa mũthamaki agĩrĩirwo nĩ gwĩkwo atĩa? Nĩaregete gwathĩkĩra watho wa Mũthamaki Ahasuerusu ũrĩa akinyĩirio nĩ andũ acio ahakũre.”
“Ko e hā te tau fai ki he tuʻi fefine, ko Vasiti ʻo fakatatau ki he fono, ko e meʻa ʻi he ʻikai te ne fai ʻae fekau ʻae tuʻi ko ʻAhasivelo ʻi he kau talafekau?”
16 Memukani agĩcookia arĩ mbere ya mũthamaki na andũ arĩa maarĩ igweta atĩrĩ, “Vashiti mũtumia wa mũthamaki nĩekĩte mahĩtia, na to mũthamaki wiki ahĩtĩirie, no ahĩtĩirie o na andũ othe arĩa marĩ igweta na andũ othe a mabũrũri ma Mũthamaki Ahasuerusu.
Pea naʻe lea ʻa Mimukani ʻi he ʻao ʻoe tuʻi mo e ngaahi houʻeiki, [ʻo pehē], “Naʻe ʻikai fai hala ʻe Vasiti ko e tuʻi fefine ki he tuʻi pē, ka ki he ngaahi houʻeiki kotoa pē, pea ki he kakai kotoa pē ʻaia ʻoku ʻi he ngaahi puleʻanga ʻoe tuʻi ko ʻAhasivelo.
17 Nĩgũkorwo ũndũ ũyũ wĩkĩtwo nĩ mũtumia wa mũthamaki nĩũkũmenyeka nĩ andũ-a-nja othe, na nĩ ũndũ ũcio nĩmarĩmenagĩrĩria athuuri ao makoiga atĩrĩ, ‘Mũthamaki Ahasuerusu araathanire Vashiti mũtumia wa mũthamaki arehwo mbere yake, no ndaigana gũthiĩ.’
Koeʻuhi ʻe ongo atu ki he mamaʻo ʻae ngāue ni ʻae tuʻi fefine ki he kau fefine kotoa pē, ko ia te nau mata manuki ai ki honau ngaahi husepāniti, ʻoka fakaongo atu ia, ‘Naʻe fekau ʻe he tuʻi ko ʻAhasivelo ke ʻomi ʻae tuʻi fefine ki hono ʻao, ka naʻe ʻikai haʻu ia.’
18 Ũmũthĩ-rĩ, andũ-a-nja arĩa marĩ igweta a Perisia na Media arĩa maiguĩte ũndũ ũyũ wĩkĩtwo nĩ mũtumia wa mũthamaki noguo nao marĩĩkaga andũ arĩa marĩ igweta a mũthamaki. Kĩnyararo na ngarari itigathira.
ʻE lea pehē pē foki ʻe he houʻeiki fefine ʻo Peasia mo Mitia he ʻaho ni ki he ngaahi houʻeiki ʻae tuʻi, ʻaia kuo ongoʻi ʻae ngāue ni ʻae tuʻi fefine. Ko ia ʻe tupu ai ʻae manuki lahi mo e ʻita.
19 “Nĩ ũndũ ũcio, mũthamaki angĩona arĩ wega, nĩarute watho wa ũthamaki na etĩkĩre wandĩkwo mawatho-inĩ ma Perisia na Media, marĩa matagarũragwo, atĩ Vashiti ndarĩ hĩndĩ ĩngĩ agooka mbere ya Mũthamaki Ahasuerusu. Naho handũ ha Vashiti-rĩ, mũthamaki acarie mũndũ-wa-nja ũngĩ mwega kũmũkĩra.
Pea kapau ʻoku lelei ki he tuʻi, ke fai ʻe ia ʻae fono fakatuʻi, pea tuku ke tohi ia ʻi he ngaahi fono ʻoe kakai Peasia mo e kakai Mitia, koeʻuhi ke ʻoua naʻa fakakehe ia, koeʻuhi ke ʻoua naʻa toe haʻu ʻa Vasiti ki he ʻao ʻoe tuʻi ko ʻAhasivelo: pea ke foaki ʻe he tuʻi hono tuʻunga fakatuʻi ki ha tokotaha ʻoku lelei lahi ʻiate ia.
20 Rĩrĩa watho ũcio wa mũthamaki ũrĩanĩrĩrwo kũndũ guothe kũrĩa mũthamaki aathanaga-rĩ, andũ-a-nja othe nĩmarĩtĩĩaga athuuri ao, kuuma ũrĩa mũnini nginya ũrĩa mũnene.”

21 Mũthamaki na andũ ake arĩa maarĩ igweta magĩkenio nĩ mataaro macio, nĩ ũndũ ũcio mũthamaki agĩĩka o ta ũrĩa Memukani oigĩte.
Pea naʻe mālie ai ʻae tuʻi mo e ngaahi houʻeiki ʻi he lea ko ia; pea naʻe fai ʻe he tuʻi ʻo fakatatau ki he lea ʻa Mimukani.
22 Agĩtũma marũa kũndũ guothe ũthamaki-inĩ ũcio, o bũrũri na mwandĩkĩre waguo na o rũrĩrĩ na mwarĩrie waruo, akĩanĩrĩrithia na thiomi cia andũ othe atĩ mũthuuri o wothe nĩwe mwathi wa mũciĩ wake.
