1 Hagi ana zama huvagaregeno'a kini ne' Serksisina arimpa ahe'zamo'ma uramigeno'a, Vasti'ma hu'nea zanku agesa nentahino, Vasti'a kuinia omanigahie huno'ma huvempama hu'nea zanku agesa antahi'ne.
After these things, when the anger of King Ahasuerus subsided, he thought about Vashti and what she had done. He also thought about the decree that he had made against her.
2 Hagi kini ne'mofo tava'oma'are'ma mani'ne'za knare antahintahima nemiza vene'nemo'za anage hu'naze, huge'za venema ovase'ne'nia hentofa agi agonane mofa'nerami hake'za avre'za eho hu'za hu'naze.
Then the king's young men who served him said, “Let a search be made on the king's behalf for beautiful young virgins.
3 Hagi kini ne'moka mago mago kumatera ranra kva vahetami zamazeri otitere huge'za venema omasenenia knarenare mofaneramina zamavare'za rankumate Susa enkeno, kini ne'moka eri'za ne' Hegai kegava huzmante'neno zamavufagama eri so'ema hanaza zana nezaminige'za zamavufaga eri so'e nehu'za knare'nare mofa'nea zoregahaze.
Let the king appoint officers in all the provinces of his kingdom, to gather together all the beautiful young virgins to the harem in the fortress in Susa. Let them be put under the care of Hegai, the king's official, who is in charge of the women, and let him give them their cosmetics.
4 Ana nehu'za mani'nenagenka anampinti'ma kini ne'moka kenankeno kavesi'nia mofa avrenankeno Vasti nona erino kuinia manigahie.
Let the young girl who pleases the king become queen in the place of Vashti.” This advice pleased the king, and he did so.
5 Hagi ananknafina mago Jiu nera Simei nemofo Kisi negeho Benzameni nagapinti ne' agi'a Modekaiakino Susa rankumapina kini ne'mofo ra nompi nemania nere.
There was a certain Jew in the fortress of Susa whose name was Mordecai son of Jair son of Shimei son of Kish, who was a Benjamite.
6 Hagi korapara Babiloni kini ne' Nebukatnesama Jerusalemi kumapinti'ma vahe'tmima kinama huzmanteno zamavare'noma vu'nefi, Modekaiane Juda vahe kini ne' Jehoiakininena zanavre'za vu'naze.
He had been taken away from Jerusalem with the exiles along with those taken with Jehoiachin, king of Judah, whom Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylonia carried away.
7 Hagi Modekaia'a mago mofara nesaro kegava hu'neankino, ana mofamofo agi'a Hadasha'e, mago agi'a Esta'e. Na'ankure Estana nerera nefa'a ko fri'ne. Hagi ana mofara avufgamo'ene agi'agonamo'a hentofaza hu'ne. Hagi nerera afa'ma nefrigeno'a, Modekai'a avreno agra mofa'agna huno kegava hu'ne.
He was caring for Hadassah, that is, Esther, his uncle's daughter, because she had neither father nor mother. The young woman had a beautiful figure and was lovely in appearance. Mordecai took her as his own daughter.
8 Hagi kini ne' Serksisima kema atreno, knare'nare mofa'nema haketa zamavareta Susa rankumate ehoma higeno'a, rama'a mofa'nerami zamavare'za neazafi Estanena anampi avre'za Susa kumate Hegai azampi eme ante'naze.
When the king's order and decree were proclaimed, many young women were brought to the fortress of Susa. They were put under Hegai's care. Esther also was taken into the king's palace and put under the care of Hegai, the overseer of the women.
9 Hagi Hegai'ma Estama negeno'a, tusiza huno musena hunteno avesinte'ne. Ana'ma nehuno'a, ame huno Estana avufgama eri so'ema hu zantamine ne'zanena nemino, kini ne'mofo kumapinti 7ni'a eri'za mofanerami huzmantege'za kini ne'mofona marerirfa nompi Estana avre'za ome kegava hunte'naze.
The young girl pleased him, and she found favor with him. Immediately he provided her with cosmetics and her portion of food. He assigned to her seven servant girls from the king's palace, and he moved her and the servant girls to the best place in the house of the women.
10 Hagi Esta'a kuma'ane vahe'amofo agia ahe forera osu'ne, na'ankure Modekaia'a anara osuo huno hunte'negu anara hu'ne.
Esther had not told anyone who her people or relatives were, for Mordecai had instructed her not to tell.
11 Hagi Modekaia'a maka zupa Esta'ma mani'nea nomofo avuga vano nehuno, Estana na'anoma huntesnagura keno vano hutere hu'ne.
Every day Mordecai walked back and forth in front of the courtyard outside the house of the women, to learn about Esther's welfare, and about what would be done with her.
12 Hagi ana maka mofa'nema kini ne'mofo avugama vanagura 12fu'a ikampi zamavufaga kegava hu'za erifatgo hute'za vugahaze. Hagi 6'a ikampina mere nehaza masave freno nevnigeno 6si'a ikama vagamare'nigeno'a, mago 6si'a ikampina mnanentake zama eri haviama hu'nea masave freno nevnigeno ana 6si'a ikamo'a ome vagaregahie.
When the turn came for each girl to go to King Ahasuerus—complying with the regulations for the women, each girl had to complete twelve months of beauty treatments, six months with oil of myrrh, and six with perfumes and cosmetics—
13 Hagi kini ne'mofo avugama vunaku'ma hanigeno'a, kukeno avasesezano inankna zanku'ma avesi'nia zana anama mase'nenia nompintira amisageno eri'neno kini ne'mofo avuga vugahie.
when a young woman went to the king, whatever she desired was given to her from the house of the women, for her to take to the palace.
14 Hagi kinagama sesigeno'a, kini ne'mofo nompi kini ne'ene umani'nenigeno komatanigeno'a, ete mago nompi vanigeno agonknaza hari'naza ne' Sasgasi'e nehia ne'mo kegava huzmantegahie.
In the evening she would go in, and in the morning she would return to the second house of the women, and to the custody of Shaashgaz, the king's official, who was in charge of the concubines. She would not return to the king again unless he had taken great pleasure in her and called for her again.
15 Hagi Abihaili mofa Esta'a Modekaina nenogokino agrama kini ne'ma ome ke knama egeno'a, mago kukenaguro avasase zankura zamantahi onke'neanki kva'amo Hegai'ma huhamprinte'nea zantami eri hankre'ne. Hagi Estama ke'naza vahe'amo'za muse hunente'za mago zamarimpa hunte'naze.
Now when the time came for Esther (daughter of Abihail, the uncle of Mordecai, who had taken her as his own daughter) to go in to the king, she did not ask for anything but what Hegai the king's official, who was in charge of the women, suggested. Now Esther received the favor of all who saw her.
16 Hagi Serksisima 7ni'a kafuma kinima nemanige'za ana kafumofona, 10ni ikana Tebetie nehaza ikante Estana avre'za noma'are eme ami'naze.
Esther was taken to King Ahasuerus into the royal residence on the tenth month, which is the month of Tebeth, in the seventh year of his reign.
17 Ana higeno kini ne'mo'a mago'a mofa'neramima avesizmante'neama'a agatereno Estana tusiza huno avesinte'ne. Hagi Esta'a vene omase mofa'nea mika zamagatereno kini ne'mofo avesira eri knare higeno, kini ne'mo'a tusi muse hunenteno kuini fetorira antaninteno, Vasti nontera Estana kuinia azeri oti'ne.
The king loved Esther more than all the other women and she received acceptance and favor before him, more than all the other virgins. So he set the royal crown on her head and made her queen instead of Vashti.
18 Ana huteno kini ne'mo'a Estana ne'za krenenteno azeri musena nehuno, ranra kva vahe'ane eri'za vahe'anena kehige'za ana ne'zantera e'naze. Ana nehuno kini ne'mo'ma kegavama hu'nea kumatamimpi vahekura ananknarera manigasa hiho nehuno maka vahera musezana zami'ne.
The king gave a great feast for all his officials and his servants, “Esther's feast,” and he granted relief from taxation to the provinces. He also gave gifts with royal generosity.
19 Hagi vene omase mofa'nemo'za mago'enema emeri atruma nehazageno'a, Modekai'a kini ne'mofo kuma kafante mani'ne.
Now when the virgins had been gathered together a second time, Mordecai was sitting at the king's gate.
20 Hagi Modekai'ma asami'nea kante anteno Esta'a agra igati mofa mani'ne mago vahera erinte amara huno osami'ne.
Esther had not yet told anyone about her relatives or her people, as Mordecai had instructed her. She continued to follow Mordecai's advice, as she had done when she was raised by him.
21 Hagi Modekai'ma kini ne'mofo kuma kafante'ma nemania knafina, kini ne'mofo eri'za netrena Bithanake Teresikea tusi zanarimpa kini ne' Serkisisina ahenenteke ahe frinaku oku'a nanekea retro hu'na'e.
In those days, while Mordecai was sitting at the king's gate, two of the king's officials, Bigthana and Teresh, who guarded the doorway, became angry and sought to do harm to King Ahasuerus.
22 Hianagi Modekaia'a ana oku nanekezni'a antahiteno, vuno kuini a' Estana ome asamigeno Esta'a Modekai'ma hia nanekea erino kini nera ome asami'ne.
When the matter was revealed to Mordecai, he told Queen Esther, and Esther spoke to the king in the name of Mordecai.
23 Hagi ana nanekema hake'za erifore'ma hazageno'ma tamagema me'nege'za nege'za, ana netrena zanazeri'za vahe'ma zamahe'zama nehanti'za zafare hantizageke fri'na'e. Hagi ama ana agenkea kini vahe'mofo agenkema krenentaza avontafepi krente'naze.
The report was investigated and confirmed, and both the men were hanged from a gallows. This account was written in the book of the chronicles in the presence of the king.
