1 Baadaye, wakati hasira ya Mfalme Ahasuero ilikuwa imetulia, alimkumbuka Vashti na kile alichokuwa amekifanya na alilokuwa ameamuru juu yake.
After the things these when subsided [the] anger of the king Ahasuerus he remembered Vashti and [that] which she had done and [that] which it had been decreed on her.
2 Kisha watumishi waliomhudumia mfalme walipendekeza, “Na ufanyike utafiti kwa ajili ya wanawali mabikira wazuri wa sura kwa ajili ya mfalme.
And they said [the] young men of the king [who were] serving him let people seek for the king young women virgins good of appearance.
3 Mfalme na ateue maafisa katika kila jimbo la himaya yake kuwaleta hao wanawali wote wazuri wa sura katika nyumba ya wanawake katika ngome ya mji wa Shushani. Kisha wawekwe chini ya utunzaji wa Hegai, towashi wa mfalme, msimamizi wa wanawake; na wapewe matunzo yote ya urembo.
And let him appoint the king appointees in all [the] provinces of kingdom his and let them gather every girl virgin good of appearance to Susa the citadel to [the] house of the women into [the] hand of Hegai [the] eunuch of the king [the] keeper of the women and let him give rubbings their.
4 Kisha yule ambaye atampendeza mfalme na awe malkia badala ya Vashti.” Shauri hili likampendeza mfalme, naye akalifuata.
And the young woman who she will be good in [the] eyes of the king she will reign in place of Vashti and it was good the word in [the] eyes of the king and he did thus.
5 Basi katika mji wa ngome ya Shushani palikuwa na Myahudi wa kabila ya Benyamini, jina lake Mordekai mwana wa Yairi, mwana wa Shimei, mwana wa Kishi,
A man Jewish he was in Susa the citadel and name his [was] Mordecai [the] son of Jair [the] son of Shimei [the] son of Kish a man a Jaminite.
6 ambao walichukuliwa uhamishoni kutoka Yerusalemu na Mfalme Nebukadneza wa Babeli, wakiwa miongoni mwa waliochukuliwa mateka pamoja na Mfalme Yekonia wa Yuda.
Who he had been taken into exile from Jerusalem with the exile[s] which it had been taken into exile with Jeconiah [the] king of Judah whom he had taken into exile Nebuchadnezzar [the] king of Babylon.
7 Mordekai alikuwa na binamu yake msichana aliyeitwa Hadasa, ambaye alimlea kwa kuwa hakuwa na baba wala mama. Msichana huyu, ambaye pia alijulikana kwa jina la Esta, alikuwa na umbo na sura ya kupendeza, naye Mordekai alimtunza kama binti yake mwenyewe baada ya baba yake na mama yake kufariki.
And he was raising Hadassah that [is] Esther [the] daughter of uncle his for not [belonged] to her a father and a mother and the young woman [was] beautiful of shape and good of appearance and at [the] death of father her and mother her he took her Mordecai of him to a daughter.
8 Wakati agizo na amri ya mfalme lilitangazwa, wanawali wengi waliletwa kwenye ngome ya mji wa Shushani na kuwekwa chini ya uangalizi wa Hegai. Pia Esta alipelekwa katika jumba la mfalme na akakabidhiwa Hegai, aliyekuwa mkuu wa nyumba ya wanawake.
And it was when were heard [the] edict of the king and orders his and when were gathered young women many to Susa the citadel into [the] hand of Hegai and she was taken Esther to [the] house of the king into [the] hand of Hegai [the] keeper of the women.
9 Msichana huyu alimpendeza na kupata kibali mbele zake. Mara moja akaanza kumpa matunzo ya uzuri na chakula maalum. Alimpa Esta vijakazi saba waliochaguliwa kutoka jumba la kifalme, na kumhamishia yeye pamoja na vijakazi wake katika sehemu bora zaidi katika nyumba ya wanawake.
And she was good the young woman in view his and she bore favor before him and he hastened rubbings her and portions her to give to her and [the] seven the servant girls chosen to give to her from [the] house of the king and he moved her and servant girls her to [the] good [place] of [the] house of the women.
10 Esta alikuwa hajadhihirisha uraia wala kabila lake, kwa sababu Mordekai alikuwa amemkataza.
Not she had told Esther people her and kindred her for Mordecai he had commanded to her that not she will tell.
11 Kila siku Mordekai alikuwa akitembeatembea karibu na ua wa nyumba ya wanawake kujua Esta alivyoendelea na kuona yaliyokuwa yakitendeka kwake.
And on every day and day Mordecai [was] walking back and forth to front of [the] court of [the] house of the women to know [the] welfare of Esther and what? was it done with her.
12 Kabla zamu ya msichana haijafika ya kwenda kwa Mfalme Ahasuero, ilimbidi atimize miezi kumi na miwili ya matunzo ya urembo kama ilivyokuwa imepangwa. Kwa miezi sita walikuwa wajipake mafuta ya manemane, na miezi sita kujipaka manukato na vipodozi.
And when arrived [the] turn of a young woman and a young woman to go - to the king Ahasuerus from [the] end to be for her according to [the] regulation of the women two [plus] ten month[s] for thus they were completed [the] days of rubbings their six months with [the] oil of myrrh and six months with balsam oil and with [the] rubbings of women.
13 Basi hivi ndivyo ambavyo msichana angeingia kwa mfalme: Kila kitu alichohitaji aliruhusiwa kuchukua kutoka nyumba ya wanawake na kwenda navyo katika jumba la mfalme.
And in this [way] the young woman [was] going into the king all that she said it was given to her to go with her from [the] house of the women to [the] house of the king.
14 Jioni angekwenda pale na asubuhi kurudi sehemu nyingine ya nyumba ya wanawake katika utunzaji wa Shaashgazi, towashi wa mfalme ambaye alikuwa mkuu wa masuria. Hangeweza kurudi kwa mfalme mpaka apendezwe naye na kuagiza aitwe kwa jina lake.
In the evening - she [was] going and in the morning she [was] returning to [the] house of the women second in [the] hand of Shaashgaz [the] eunuch of the king [the] keeper of the concubines not she went again into the king that except he delighted in her the king and she was summoned by name.
15 Zamu ya Esta ilipofika kwenda kwa mfalme (msichana ambaye Mordekai alikuwa amemlea, binti wa Abihaili mjomba wake), Esta hakutaka vitu zaidi ya vile ambavyo Hegai, towashi wa mfalme aliyekuwa mkuu wa nyumba ya wanawake alivyokuwa amemshauri. Naye Esta alipata kibali kwa kila mtu aliyemwona.
And when arrived [the] turn of Esther [the] daughter of Abihail [the] uncle of Mordecai whom he had taken of him to a daughter to go to the king not she requested anything that except [that] which he said Hegai [the] eunuch of the king [the] keeper of the women and she was Esther bearing favor in [the] eyes of all [those who] saw her.
16 Esta alipelekwa kwa Mfalme Ahasuero katika makao ya mfalme mwezi wa kumi, yaani mwezi wa Tebethi, katika mwaka wake wa saba wa kutawala.
And she was taken Esther to the king Ahasuerus into [the] house of royalty his in the month tenth that [is] [the] month of Tebeth in year seven of reign his.
17 Basi ikawa mfalme alivutiwa na Esta kuliko wanawake wengine wote, naye akapata upendeleo na kibali kuliko mabikira wengine. Kisha akamvika taji la kifalme kichwani mwake na kumfanya malkia badala ya Vashti.
And he loved the king Esther more than all the women and she bore favor and favor before him more than all the virgins and he put a crown of royalty on head her and he made queen her in place of Vashti.
18 Mfalme akafanya karamu kubwa, karamu ya Esta, kwa wakuu wake wote na maafisa. Mfalme alitangaza mapumziko katika majimbo yake yote na kugawa zawadi kwa ukarimu wa kifalme.
And he made the king a feast great for all officials his and servants his [the] feast of Esther and a holiday for the provinces he made and he gave tribute according to [the] hand of the king.
19 Wakati mabikira walikusanyika mara ya pili, Mordekai alikuwa ameketi katika lango la mfalme.
And when were gathered virgins a second [time] and Mordecai [was] sitting at [the] gate of the king.
20 Lakini Esta alikuwa ameficha siri ya kabila lake na uraia wake, kama Mordekai alivyokuwa amemwambia, kwa maana aliendelea kufuata maelekezo ya Mordekai kama alivyokuwa akifanya alipokuwa akimlea.
Not Esther [was] telling kindred her and people her just as he had commanded to her Mordecai and [the] command of Mordecai Esther [was] doing just as she had done in guardianship with him.
21 Wakati Mordekai alikuwa ameketi kwenye lango la mfalme, Bigthana na Tereshi, maafisa wawili wa mfalme waliokuwa walinzi wa lango, walikasirika na kupanga njama ya kumuua Mfalme Ahasuero.
In the days those and Mordecai [was] sitting at [the] gate of the king he was angry Bigthan and Teresh two of [the] eunuchs of the king from [the] guards of the threshold and they sought to stretch out a hand on the king Ahasuerus.
22 Lakini Mordekai aligundua hila hii na kumwambia Malkia Esta, ambaye baadaye alimwarifu mfalme, huku akimsifu Mordekai.
And it was made known the matter to Mordecai and he told to Esther the queen and she spoke Esther to the king in [the] name of Mordecai.
23 Taarifa hiyo ilipochunguzwa na kuonekana kuwa kweli, maafisa hao wawili waliangikwa juu ya miti ya kunyongea. Haya yote yaliandikwa katika kitabu cha kumbukumbu mbele ya mfalme.
And it was sought the matter and it was found and they were hanged [the] two of them on a gallows and it was written in [the] book of [the] matters of the days before the king.
