Esetera 1
1 I KE kau ia Ahasuero, (o Ahasuero ia i alii ai maluna o na aina hookahi haneri me ka iwakaluakumamahiku, mai Inia mai a Aitiopia: )
And it comes to pass, in the days of Ahasuerus—he [is] Ahasuerus who is reigning from Hodu even to Cush, one hundred twenty-seven provinces—
2 Ia manawa, i ka wa e noho ana o Ahasuero ke alii maluna o ka nohoalii o kona aupuni, aia ma Susana ka pakaua;
in those days, at the sitting of King Ahasuerus on the throne of his kingdom, that [is] in Shushan the palace,
3 I ke kolu o ka makahiki o kona nohoalii ana, hana iho la ia i ahaaina na kona poe alii a pau, a me kana poe kauwa; a aia hoi imua ona ka poe koa o Peresia a me Media, o na kaukaualii hoi, a me na'lii o na aina:
in the third year of his reign, he has made a banquet to all his heads and his servants; of the force of Persia and Media, the chiefs and heads of the provinces [are] before him,
4 A hoike oia i ka waiwai nani o kona aupuni, a me ka hanohauo o kona maikai nui, no na la he nui loa, hookahi haneri a me kanawalu mau la.
in his showing the wealth of the glory of his kingdom, and the glory of the beauty of his greatness, many days—one hundred eighty days.
5 A hala ia mau la, alaila, hana iho la ke alii i ahaaina, i ehiku la, ma ke kahua pakaua o ka hale o ke alii, no na mea a pau i loaa ma Susana ka pakaua, no na mea koikoi a me na makaainana.
And at the fullness of these days the king has made a banquet to all the people who are found in Shushan the palace, from great even to small, [for] seven days, in the court of the garden of the house of the king—
6 O na paku hoi, he lole huluhulu keokeo, a he olona keokeo, a me ka poni, ua paa i na kaula huluhulu keokeo, maikai, a me ka ulaula, i nakiia iloko o na komo dala, ma na kia pohaku keokeo. O na noho hilinai, he gula ia a me ke kala maluna o ke kahua pohaku omaomao, a keokeo, i hoonoho pu ia me na momi a me ka ea.
white linen, white cotton, and blue, fastened with cords of fine linen and purple on rings of silver, and pillars of marble, couches of gold, and of silver, on a pavement of smaragdus, and white marble, and mother-of-pearl, and black marble—
7 Haawi lakou i ka mea inu maloko o na kiaha gula, a ua like ole kekahi kiaha me kekahi kiaha, a ua nui ka waina maikai, e like me ka aoao mau o ke alii.
and the giving of drink in vessels of gold, and the vessels [are] various vessels, and the royal wine [is] abundant, as a memorial of the king.
8 Mamuli o ke kanawai ka inu ana, aole mea nana i koi aku; no ka mea, pela ke kauoha a ke alii i na luna a pau o kona hale, e hana kela kanaka keia kanaka e like me kona manao iho.
And the drinking [is] according to law, none is pressing, for so the king has appointed for every chief one of his house, to do according to the pleasure of man and man.
9 O Vaseti, ke alii wahine kekahi, hana iho la oia i ahaaina na na wahine ma ka halealii o ke alii o Ahasuero.
Also Vashti the queen has made a banquet for women, in the royal house that King Ahasuerus has.
10 A i ka hiku o ka la, i ka wa i olioli ai ka naau o ke alii i ka waina, olelo ae la ia ia Mehumana, a me Bizeta, a me Harebona, a me Bigeta, a me Abageta, a me Zetara, a me Karekasa, na luna ehiku i hookauwa ma ke alo o ke alii, o Ahasuero,
On the seventh day, as the heart of the king is glad with wine, he has commanded to Mehuman, Biztha, Harbona, Bigtha, and Abagtha, Zethar, and Carcas, the seven eunuchs who are ministering in the presence of King Ahasuerus,
11 E lawe mai lakou ia Vaseti, i ke alii wahine imua i ke alo o ke alii, me ka papale alii, e hoike aku i na kanaka a me na'lii, i kona maikai; no ka mea, he helehelena maikai kona.
to bring in Vashti the queen before the king, with a royal crown, to show the peoples and the heads her beauty, for she [is] of good appearance,
12 Hoole ae la ke alii wahine, o Vaseti, aole e hele ma ka olelo a ke alii, ana i kauoha ae i na luna. Nolaila, ukiuki loa iho la ke alii, a wela iho la kona huhu iloko ona.
and the queen Vashti refuses to come in at the word of the king that [is] by the hand of the eunuchs, and the king is very angry, and his fury has burned in him.
13 Alaila, olelo ae la ke alii i ka poe akamai, i ka poe i ike i na manawa, (no ka mea, pela no ke alii i hana'i imua i ke alo o ka poe a pau i ike i ke kanawai a me ka hooponopono:
And the king says to wise men, knowing the times—for so [is] the word of the king before all knowing law and judgment,
14 Eia ka poe i pili ia ia, o Karesena, o Setara, o Ademata, o Taresisa, o Meresa, o Maresena, a me Memukana, ehiku alii o Peresia, a me Media, a ike lakou i ka maka o ke alii, a o lakou na mea noho kiekie maloko o ke aupuni: )
and he who is near to 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 Mamuli o ke kanawai, pehea la kakou e hana'i i ke alii wahine ia Vaseti, no kona malama ole ana i ka olelo a ke alii, a Ahasuero, ma ka lima o na luna?
“According to law, what should [I] do with Queen Vashti, because that she has not done the saying of King Ahasuerus by the hand of the eunuchs?”
16 Alaila, olelo aku la o Memukana imua i ke alo o ke alii, a me na'lii, Ua hana hewa o Vaseti ke alii wahine, aole i ke alii wale no, aka, i na'lii a pau, a me na kanaka a pau e noho ana ma na aina a pau o Ke alii o Ahasuero.
And Memucan says before the king and the heads, “Queen Vashti has not done perversely against the king by himself, but against all the heads, and against all the peoples that [are] in all provinces of King Ahasuerus;
17 No ka mea, e kaulana aku no ia hana a ke alii wahine, i na wahine a pau, nolaila, e hoowahawahaia'i ka lakou poe kane e lakou, i ka wa e kaulana'i ke kanoha ana a ke alii a Ahasuero e laweia mai imua ona o Vaseti ke alii wahine, aole ia i hele mai.
for the word of the queen goes forth to all the women, to render their husbands contemptible in their eyes, in their saying, King Ahasuerus commanded to bring in Vashti the queen before him, and she did not come;
18 A i keia la, o na'lii wahine a pau o Peresia, a me Media, ka poe i lohe i ka nana a ke alii wahine, e olelo no lakou pela i na kuhina o ke alii. Pela e nui loa ai auanei ka hoowahawaha ana, a me ka ukiuki.
indeed, this day 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 Ina he maikai i ko ke alii manao, e hoolahaia'ku no kekahi olelo no ke aupuni, a e kakauia no hoi ia ma na kanawai o Peresia a me Media, i haule ole ia, aole loa e hele hou mai o Vaseti imua i ke alo o ke alii, o Ahasuero; a e haawi aku hoi ke alii i ko Vaseti waiwai alii na kekahi i oi aku ka pono mamua o kona.
If to the king [it be] good, there goes forth a royal word from before him, and it is written with the laws of Persia and Media, and does not pass away, that Vashti does not come in before King Ahasuerus, and the king gives her royalty to her companion who [is] better than she;
20 Aia hoolahaia ke kanawai a ke alii e hana'i, ma kona aupuni a pau, (no ka mea he nui ia, ) alaila e hoomaikai no na wahine i ka lakou poe kane i na mea nui a me na mea uuku.
and the sentence of the king that he makes has been heard in all his kingdom—for it [is] great—and all the wives give honor to their husbands, from great even to small.”
21 Ua maikai keia olelo i ka manao o ke alii, a me na kuhina, a hana iho la ke alii e like me ka olelo a Memukana.
And the thing is good in the eyes of the king, and of the princes, and the king does according to the word of Memucan,
22 A hoouna ae la ia i na palapala i na mokuna a pau o ke alii, i kela mokuna i keia mokuna, e like me ka mea i palapalaia, a i kela lahuikanaka i keia lahuikanaka, e like me ka lakou olelo iho, e noho haku no kela kanaka keia kanaka ma kona hale iho; a hoolahaia'ku la keia ma ka olelo o na lahuikanakaa pau.
and sends letters to all provinces of the king, to province and province according to its writing, and to 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.
