And they gave to drink in vessels of gold and vessels from vessels [were] differing and wine of royalty [was] much according to [the] hand of the king.
8 “जबरजस्ती गरिनुहुँदैन” भन्ने आदेशको ख्याल गर्दै दाखमद्य बाँडिएको थियो, किनकि यसरी नै राजाले हरेक मानिसको इच्छामुताबिक गर्न आफ्नो दरबारका सबै अधिकारीलाई आदेश दिएका थिए ।
And the drinking [was] according to the law there not [was one who] compelled for thus - he had appointed the king on every chief of house his to do according to [the] pleasure of man and man.
9 रानी वश्तीले पनि राजा अहासूरसको दरबारमा स्त्रीहरूलाई एउटा भोज दिइन् ।
Also Vashti the queen she made a feast of women [the] house of royalty which [belonged] to the king Ahasuerus.
10 सातौँ दिनमा जब राजाको हृदय दाखमद्यको कारणले प्रसन्न भएको थियो, तब तिनले महूमान, बिज्था, हर्बोना, बिग्ता, अबगथा, जेथेर र कर्कास (यी सात जना अधिकारीहरूले राजाको सामु सेवा गर्थे) लाई,
On the day seventh when was good [the] heart of the king by the wine he said to Mehuman Biztha Harbona Bigtha and Abagtha Zethar and Carcas [the] seven the eunuchs who served with [the] face of the king Ahasuerus.
11 रानी वश्तीलाई उनको राजकीय शिरपेच पहिरेर आफ्नो सामु ल्याउने हुकुम गरे । तिनले मानिसहरू र अधिकारीहरूलाई उनको सौन्दर्य देखाउन चाहन्थे, किनकि उनको चेहरा असाध्य सुन्दर थियो ।
To bring Vashti the queen before the king with a crown of royalty to show the peoples and the officials beauty her for [was] good of appearance she.
12 तर अधिकारीहरूद्वारा ल्याइएको राजाको आदेश मानेर आउनलाई रानी वश्तीले इन्कार गरिन् । तब राजा सार्है रिसाए । आफूभित्रै तिनी रिसले क्रुद्ध भए ।
And she refused the queen Vashti to come at [the] word of the king which [was] by [the] hand of the eunuchs and he was angry the king exceedingly and rage his it burned in him.
13 त्यसैले राजाले बुद्धिमानी भनी चिनिएका मानिसहरू जसले परिस्थितिलाई बुझेका थिए, तिनीहरूसित सल्लाह लिए (किनकि कानुन र न्यायमा पोख्तहरू सबैसित सल्लाह लिने राजाको प्रचलन थियो) ।
And he said the king to wise men [who] knew the times for [was] thus [the] manner of the king before all [those who] knew law and judgment.
14 फारस र मादीका सात जना राजकुमार अर्थात् कर्शेना, शेथार, अद्माथा, तर्शीश, मेरेस, मर्सेना र ममूकान राजाका नजिकका मानिसहरू थिए । तिनीहरू राजाकहाँ जान सक्थे, र तिनीहरू राज्यमा उच्चतम पदहरूमा थिए ।
And the [ones] close to him [were] Carshena Shethar Admatha Tarshish Meres Marsena Memucan [the] seven [the] officials of - Persia and Media [who] saw [the] face of the king who sat foremost in the kingdom.
15 राजाले सोधे, “अधिकारीहरूद्वारा रानी वश्तीकहाँ लगिएको राजा अहासूरसको आदेशलाई नमानेकी हुनाले कानुनको आदेशअनुसार उनलाई के गरिनुपर्छ?”
According to [the] law what? [is] to do with the queen Vashti on - that not she did [the] command of the king Ahasuerus by [the] hand of the eunuchs.
16 राजा र अधिकारीहरूका सामु ममूकानले भने, “रानी वश्तीले राजाको विरुद्धमा मात्र होइन तर राजा अहासूरसका सबै प्रान्तका सारा अधिकारीहरू र सारा मानिसहरूको विरुद्धमा पनि गलत गर्नुभएको छ ।
And he said (Memucan *Q(k)*) before the king and the officials not on the king to only him she did wrong Vashti the queen for on all the officials and on all the peoples which [are] in all [the] provinces of the king Ahasuerus.
17 रानीको यो विषय सारा स्त्रीहरूलाई थाहा हुनेछ । यस कुराले तिनीहरूलाई आ-आफ्ना पतिलाई तुच्छ व्यवहार गर्ने बनाउनेछ । तिनीहरूले भन्नेछन्, 'राजा अहासूरसले रानी वश्तीलाई उहाँको सामु ल्याइयोस् भनी हुकुम गर्नुभयो, तर उनले इन्कार गरिन् ।'
For it will go forth [the] matter of the queen to all the women to make despicable husbands their in view their because will say they the king Ahasuerus he said to bring Vashti the queen before him and not she came.
18 आजको दिन समाप्त नहुँदै रानीको यस विषयलाई सुन्ने फारस र मादीका कुलीन स्त्रीहरूले राजाका सबै अधिकारीलाई उही कुरा भन्नेछन् । धेरै अनादर र क्रोध पैदा हुनेछ ।
And the day this they will say - [the] noble ladies of Persia and Media who they have heard [the] matter of the queen to all [the] officials of the king and [will be] as enough of contempt and anger.
19 राजालाई यस कुराले खुसी लाग्छ भने, वश्ती अबदेखि उहाँको सामु नआऊन् भनी उहाँबाट एउटा राजकीय आदेश होस्, र यसलाई रद्द गर्न नसकिने फारसी र मादीहरूको कानुनमा लेखियोस् । राजाले उनीभन्दा अझै असल स्त्रीलाई उनको स्थानमा रानीको दर्जा दिइयोस् ।
If [is] on the king good let it go forth a word of royalty from to before him and let it be written in [the] laws of Persia and Media and not it will pass away that not she will come Vashti before the king Ahasuerus and queenhood her let him give the king to fellow woman her good more than she.
20 जब राजाको विशाल राज्यभरि उहाँको आदेशको घोषणा गरिन्छ, तब ठुलादेखि साना सबै जनाको पत्नीले आ-आफ्ना पतिलाई आदर गर्नेछन् ।”
And it will be heard [the] decree of the king which he will make in all kingdom his for [is] great it and all the women they will give honor to husbands their from great and unto insignificant.
21 यस सल्लाहबाट राजा र तिनका कुलिनहरू खुसी भए, र ममूकानले प्रस्ताव गरेझैँ राजाले गरे ।
And it was good the word in [the] eyes of the king and the officials and he did the king according to [the] word of Memucan.
22 तिनले सारा राजकीय प्रान्तमा हरेक प्रदेशमा आ-आफ्नो लिपिअनुसार र हरेक जातिको आ-आफ्नो भाषाअनुसार तिनीहरूलाई चिट्ठीहरू पठाए । हरेक पुरुष आफ्नो घरानाको मालिक हुनुपर्छ भनी तिनले आज्ञा दिए । साम्राज्यको हरेक जातिको भाषामा यो आदेश दिइएको थियो ।
And he sent out documents to all [the] provinces of the king to province and province according to writing its and to people and people according to language its to be every man ruler in own household his and speaking according to [the] language of people his.
