1 Ga abin da ya faru a zamanin Zerzes. Zerzes ya yi mulki bisan larduna 127 daga Indiya zuwa Kush.
And it came to pass in the days of Achashverosh, of the same Achashverosh who reigned, from India even unto Ethiopia, over a hundred and seven and twenty provinces,
2 A lokacin nan, Sarki Zerzes ya yi mulki daga gadon sarauta, cikin mazaunin masarautar Shusha.
In those days, when this king Achashverosh was sitting on the throne of his kingdom, which was in Shushan the capital,
3 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.
That, in the third year of his reign, he made a feast unto all his princes and his servants, the army of Persia and Media, the nobles and the princes of the provinces who were near him:
4 Kwanaki 180 cif, ya nuna yawan dukiyar masarautarsa, da ɗaukakarta da kuma darajar girmansa.
When he showed the riches and the glory of his kingdom, and the brilliance [and] the splendor of his greatness, during many days, a hundred and eighty days.
5 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.
And when these days were completed, the king made unto all the people that were found in Shushan the capital, unto every one, from the great even to the small, a feast of seven days, in the court of the garden of the king's palace;
6 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.
[Where were] white, green, and blue [hangings], fastened with cords of fine linen and purple, on rollers of silver and pillars of marble; couches of gold and silver, upon a pavement of green, and white, and yellow, and black marble.
7 Aka rarraba ruwan inabi cikin kwaf na zinariya, kowanne kuwa dabam yake da ɗayan. Ruwan inabin kuwa yana da yawa, bisa ga wadatar sarki.
And they gave them to drink in vessels of gold, —the vessels being diverse one from the other, —and the royal wine was in abundance, according to the ability of the king.
8 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.
And the drinking was, according to the [king's] order, without compulsion; for so had the king enjoined on all the officers of his house, to do according to the pleasure of every man.
9 Sarauniya Bashti ita ma ta yi liyafa saboda mata a fadar Sarki Zerzes.
Also Vashti the queen made a feast for the women, in the royal house which belonged to king Achashverosh.
10 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,
On the seventh day, when the heart of the king was merry with wine, he commanded Mehuman, Biztha, Charbona, Bigtha, and Abagtha, Zethar, and Carcass, the seven chamberlains that served in the presence of king Achashverosh,
11 su kawo Sarauniya Bashti a gabansa, sanye da rawanin sarautarta, don ta nuna kyanta wa mutane da kuma hakimai, gama ita kyakkyawa ce ƙwarai.
To bring Vashti the queen before the king [ornamented] with the royal crown, to show the people and the princes her beauty; for she was handsome in appearance.
12 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.
But queen Vashti refused to come at the word of the king brought by the hand of the chamberlains; and the king was very wroth, and his fury burnt in him.
13 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
Then said the king to the wise men, who knew [the occurrences of] the times; for so [came] every affair of the king before all acquainted with law and state institutions;
14 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.
And those next unto him were Carshena, Shethar, Admatha, Tharshish, Meress, Marsena, and Memuchan, the seven princes of Persia and Media, who could see [at all times] the king's face, who sat in the first rank in the kingdom:
15 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?”
What should according to law be done with queen Vashti; because she had not fulfilled the order of king Achashverosh by the hand of the chamberlains?
16 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.
Then said Memuchan before the king and the princes, Not against the king alone hath Vashti the queen done wrong, but also against all the princes, and against all the people that are in all the provinces of king Achashverosh.
17 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.’
For the conduct of the queen will go abroad unto all the women, so that they will despise their husbands in their eyes, when it shall be reported, King Achashverosh ordered Vashti the queen to be brought into his presence, but she came not.
18 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.
And even this day will the ladies of Persia and Media, who have heard of the conduct of the queen, say this unto all the princes of the king; and there will arise too much contempt and quarrel.
19 “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.
If it please the king, let there go forth a royal order from him, and let it be written among the laws of the Persians and the Medes, that no one transgress it, That Vashti come no more before king Achashverosh: and let the king give her royal dignity unto another that is better than she.
20 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.”
And when the king's decree which he will make shall be published throughout all his kingdom, however great it is: all the wives will show respect to their husbands, unto every one, from the great even to the small.
21 Sarki da hakimansa suka gamsu da wannan shawara. Saboda haka sarki ya yi kamar yadda Memukan ya faɗa.
And the speech was pleasing in the eyes of the king and of the princes; and the king did according to the speech of Memuchan.
22 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.
And he sent letters unto all the provinces of the king, unto every province according to its writing, and to every people according to its language, that every man should bear rule in his own house, however he may speak according to the language of his people.
