Ester 1
1 Kadagidi aldaw a panagturay ni Ahasuero (daytoy ni Ahasuero a nagturay manipud India agingga iti Etiopia, kadagiti 127 a probinsia),
And it cometh to pass, in the days of Ahasuerus — he [is] Ahasuerus who is reigning from Hodu even unto Cush, seven and twenty and a hundred provinces —
2 kadagidiay nga al-aldaw, nakatugaw ni Ari Ahasuero iti naarian a tronona iti palasiona idiay Susa.
in those days, at the sitting of the king Ahasuerus on the throne of his kingdom, that [is] in Shushan the palace,
3 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.
in the third year of his reign, he hath 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 Impakitana ti kinabaknang ti pagarianna ken ti dayaw iti dayag ti kinatan-okna iti adu nga al-aldaw, iti 180 nga aldaw.
in his shewing the wealth of the honour of his kingdom, and the glory of the beauty of his greatness, many days — eighty and a hundred days.
5 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.
And at the fulness of these days hath the king made to all the people who are found in Shushan the palace, from great even unto small, a banquet, seven days, in the court of the garden of the house of the king —
6 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.
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 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.
and the giving of drink in vessels of gold, and the vessels [are] divers vessels, and the royal wine [is] abundant, as a memorial of the king.
8 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.
And the drinking [is] according to law, none is pressing, for so hath the king appointed for every chief one of his house, to do according to the pleasure of man and man.
9 Nangangay met iti padaya ni Reyna Vasti para kadagiti babbai iti palasio ni Ari Ahasuero.
Also Vashti the queen hath made a banquet for women, in the royal house that the king Ahasuerus hath.
10 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),
On the seventh day, as the heart of the king is glad with wine, he hath said to Mehuman, Biztha, Harbona, Bigtha, and Abagtha, Zethar, and Carcas, the seven eunuchs who are ministering in the presence of the king Ahasuerus,
11 nga iyegda ni Reyna Vasti kenkuana a nakakorona. Kayatna nga ipakita kadagiti tattao ken kadagiti opisial ti kinapintasna, ta makapasiddaaw ti langana.
to bring in Vashti the queen before the king, with a royal crown, to shew the peoples and the heads her beauty, for she [is] of good appearance,
12 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.
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.
13 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).
And the king saith to wise men, knowing the times — for so [is] the word of the king before all knowing law and judgment,
14 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.
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 “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?”
'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 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.
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 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.'
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 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.
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 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.
'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 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.”
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 Naay-ayo ti ari ken dagiti natatakneng a lallaki iti daytoy a balakad, ket inaramid ti ari kas insingasing ni Memucan.
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 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.
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.
