1 Hili ndilo lililotokea wakati wa utawala wa Mfalme Ahasuero, yule aliyetawala juu ya majimbo mia na ishirini na saba tangu Bara Hindi hadi Kushi.
and to be in/on/with day Ahasuerus he/she/it Ahasuerus [the] to reign from India and till Cush seven and twenty and hundred province
2 Wakati huo Mfalme Ahasuero alitawala katika kiti chake cha enzi katika ngome ya mji wa Shushani.
in/on/with day [the] they(masc.) like/as to dwell [the] king Ahasuerus upon throne royalty his which in/on/with Susa [the] palace
3 Katika mwaka wa tatu wa utawala wake, alifanya karamu kwa ajili ya wakuu wake wote pamoja na maafisa. Akawaalika viongozi wa jeshi wa Uajemi na Umedi, wana wa wafalme na wakuu wa majimbo.
in/on/with year three to/for to reign him to make: offer feast to/for all ruler his and servant/slave his strength: soldiers Persia and Media [the] noble and ruler [the] province to/for face: before his
4 Kwa siku zote 180 mfalme alionyesha utajiri mwingi wa ufalme wake, fahari na utukufu wa enzi yake.
in/on/with to see: see he [obj] riches glory royalty his and [obj] preciousness beauty greatness his day many eighty and hundred day
5 Siku hizo zilipopita, mfalme alifanya karamu kwa muda wa siku saba, katika bustani ya ndani katika jumba la kifalme, kwa ajili ya watu wote kuanzia mdogo hadi mkubwa, waliokuwa katika ngome ya mji wa Shushani.
and in/on/with to fill [the] day [the] these to make: offer [the] king to/for all [the] people [the] to find in/on/with Susa [the] palace to/for from great: large and till small feast seven day in/on/with court garden palace [the] king
6 Bustani ilikuwa na mapazia ya kitani nyeupe na buluu, yaliyofungiwa kamba za kitani nyeupe na kitambaa cha zambarau, kwenye pete za fedha juu ya nguzo za marmar. Kulikuwepo viti vya dhahabu na vya fedha vilivyokuwa vimewekwa kwenye ile sakafu iliyotengenezwa kwa mawe ya rangi, marmar, lulumizi na mawe mengine ya thamani.
white fine linen and blue to grasp in/on/with cord fine linen and purple upon circuit silver: money and pillar alabaster bed gold and silver: money upon pavement porphyry and alabaster and mother-of-pearl and stone
7 Vyombo vya dhahabu vilitumika kwa watu kunywea mvinyo, kila kimoja tofauti na kingine, naye mfalme akatoa mvinyo kwa wingi kwa kadiri ya ukarimu wake.
and to water: drink in/on/with article/utensil gold and article/utensil from article/utensil to change and wine royalty many like/as hand: to [the] king
8 Kwa amri ya mfalme kila mgeni aliruhusiwa kunywa alichotaka, kwa kuwa mfalme alitoa maagizo kwa watumishi wote wa kuhudumu mvinyo kumhudumia kila mtu kwa jinsi alivyotaka.
and [the] drinking like/as law nothing to compel for so to found [the] king upon all chief house: home his to/for to make: do like/as acceptance man and man
9 Malkia Vashti pia akawafanyia wanawake karamu katika jumba la kifalme la Mfalme Ahasuero.
also Vashti [the] queen to make: offer feast woman house: home [the] royalty which to/for king Ahasuerus
10 Siku ya saba, wakati Mfalme Ahasuero alikuwa amesisimka roho yake kwa mvinyo, aliamuru matowashi saba waliokuwa wakimhudumia, yaani, Mehumani, Biztha, Harbona, Bigtha, Abagtha, Zethari na Karkasi,
in/on/with day [the] seventh like/as be pleasing heart [the] king in/on/with wine to say to/for Mehuman Biztha Harbona Bigtha and Abagtha Zethar and Carkas seven [the] eunuch [the] to minister with face: before [the] king Ahasuerus
11 kumleta Malkia Vashti mbele ya mfalme akiwa amevaa taji lake la kifalme, ili aonyeshe uzuri wake kwa watu na wakuu, kwa kuwa alikuwa ni mzuri wa kupendeza.
to/for to come (in): bring [obj] Vashti [the] queen to/for face: before [the] king in/on/with crown royalty to/for to see: see [the] people and [the] ruler [obj] beauty her for pleasant appearance he/she/it
12 Lakini wakati watumishi walipotoa amri ya mfalme, Malkia Vashti alikataa kuja. Ndipo mfalme alighadhibika, na hasira yake ikawaka.
and to refuse [the] queen Vashti to/for to come (in): come in/on/with word [the] king which in/on/with hand: to [the] eunuch and be angry [the] king much and rage his to burn: burn in/on/with him
13 Kwa kuwa ilikuwa desturi ya mfalme kupata ushauri kwa wataalamu katika mambo ya sheria na haki, alizungumza na watu wenye busara, ambao walijua nyakati,
and to say [the] king to/for wise to know [the] time for so Chronicles [the] king to/for face: before all to know law and judgment
14 nao waliokuwa karibu na mfalme ni Karshena, Shethari, Admatha, Tarshishi, Meresi, Marsena na Memukani, wakuu saba wa Uajemi na Umedi waliokuwa na nafasi ya pekee kwa mfalme nao walikuwa na vyeo vya juu kabisa katika utawala wake.
and [the] near to(wards) him Carshena Shethar Admatha Tarshish Meres Marsena Memucan seven ruler Persia and Media to see: see face [the] king [the] to dwell first in/on/with royalty
15 Mfalme akauliza, “Kulingana na sheria, Malkia Vashti anapaswa kutendewa nini? Malkia hakutii amri ya Mfalme Ahasuero ambayo matowashi walimpelekea.”
like/as law what? to/for to make: do in/on/with queen Vashti upon which not to make: do [obj] command [the] king Ahasuerus in/on/with hand: to [the] eunuch
16 Kisha Memukani akajibu mbele ya mfalme na wakuu, “Malkia Vashti si kwamba amemkosea mfalme tu bali pia amewakosea wakuu wote na watu wa himaya yote ya Mfalme Ahasuero.
and to say (Memucan *Q(k)*) to/for face: before [the] king and [the] ruler not upon [the] king to/for alone him to pervert Vashti [the] queen for upon all [the] ruler and upon all [the] people which in/on/with all province [the] king Ahasuerus
17 Kwa maana tendo hili la malkia litajulikana kwa wanawake wote, kwa hiyo watawadharau waume zao na kusema, ‘Mfalme Ahasuero aliagiza Malkia Vashti aletwe mbele yake, lakini alikataa.’
for to come out: speak word: deed [the] queen upon all [the] woman to/for to despise master: husband their in/on/with eye: appearance their in/on/with to say they [the] king Ahasuerus to say to/for to come (in): bring [obj] Vashti [the] queen to/for face: before his and not to come (in): come
18 Leo hii wanawake wa wakuu wa Uajemi na Umedi ambao wamesikia juu ya tabia ya malkia watawatendea wakuu wote wa mfalme vivyo hivyo. Hapatakuwepo na mwisho wa dharau na magomvi.
and [the] day: today [the] this to say princess Persia and Media which to hear: hear [obj] word: deed [the] queen to/for all ruler [the] king and like/as sufficiency contempt and wrath
19 “Kwa hiyo, kama itampendeza mfalme, atoe amri ya kifalme na iandikwe katika sheria ya Uajemi na Umedi, ambayo haitabadilika, kwamba Vashti kamwe asije tena mbele ya Mfalme Ahasuero. Pia mfalme na atoe hiyo nafasi yake ya umalkia kwa mwanamke mwingine aliye bora kumliko yeye.
if upon [the] king pleasant to come out: come word royalty from to/for face: before his and to write in/on/with law Persia and Mede and not to pass which not to come (in): come Vashti to/for face: before [the] king Ahasuerus and royalty her to give: give [the] king to/for neighbor her [the] pleasant from her
20 Kisha mbiu hii ya mfalme itakapotangazwa katika himaya yake iliyo kubwa sana, wanawake wote watawaheshimu waume zao, kuanzia mdogo hadi mkubwa.”
and to hear: proclaim edict [the] king which to make in/on/with all royalty his for many he/she/it and all [the] woman to give: give preciousness to/for master: husband their to/for from great: large and till small
21 Mfalme na wakuu wake walipendezwa na shauri hili, hivyo basi mfalme akafanya kama Memukani alivyopendekeza.
and be good [the] word in/on/with eye: appearance [the] king and [the] ruler and to make: do [the] king like/as word Memucan
22 Alipeleka barua katika sehemu zote za ufalme wake, kwa kila jimbo kwa maandishi yake mwenyewe na kwa kila watu katika lugha yao wenyewe, akitangaza kwa msemo wa kila watu kwamba inampasa kila mwanaume kuwa mtawala wa nyumba yake mwenyewe.
and to send: depart scroll: document to(wards) all province [the] king to(wards) province and province like/as writing her and to(wards) people and people like/as tongue: language his to/for to be all man to rule in/on/with house: household his and to speak: speak like/as tongue: language people his
