and the queen Vashti refuseth to come in at the word of the king that [is] by the hand of the eunuchs, and the king is very wroth, and his fury hath burned in him.

And the king saith to wise men, knowing the times — for so [is] the word of the king before all knowing law and judgment,

and he who is near unto him [is] Carshena, Shethar, Admatha, Tarshish, Meres, Marsena, Memucan, seven heads of Persia and Media seeing the face of the king, who are sitting first 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?”
'According to law, what — to do with queen Vashti, because that she hath not done the saying of the king Ahasuerus by the hand of the eunuchs?'
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.
And Memucan saith before the king and the heads, 'Not against the king by himself hath Vashti the queen done perversely, but against all the heads, and against all the peoples that [are] in all provinces of the king Ahasuerus;
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 go forth doth the word of the queen unto all the women, to render their husbands contemptible in their eyes, in their saying, The king Ahasuerus said to bring in Vashti the queen before him, and she did not come;
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.
yea, this day do princesses of Persia and Media, who have heard the word of the queen, say [so] to all heads of the king, even according to the sufficiency of contempt and wrath.
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 to the king [it be] good, there goeth forth a royal word from before him, and it is written with the laws of Persia and Media, and doth not pass away, that Vashti doth not come in before the king Ahasuerus, and her royalty doth the king give to her companion who [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 the sentence of the king that he maketh hath been heard in all his kingdom — for it [is] great — and all the wives give honour to their husbands, from great even unto small.'
21 Sarki da hakimansa suka gamsu da wannan shawara. Saboda haka sarki ya yi kamar yadda Memukan ya faɗa.
And the thing is good in the eyes of the king, and of the princes, and the king doth according to the word of Memucan,
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 sendeth letters unto all provinces of the king, unto province and province according to its writing, and unto people and people according to its tongue, for every man being head in his own house — and speaking according to the language of his people.
