1 Katika siku za utawala wa Ahasuero (huyu ni Ahasuero aliyetawala toka India hadi Ethiopa, zaidi ya majimbo 127),
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 katika siku hizo Mfalme Ahasuero aliketi katika kiti chake cha utawala katika ngome ya 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 mwaka wa tatu wa utawala wake aliwaandalia sherehe viongozi na watumwa wake wote. Waliohudhuria katika sherehe hiyo walikuwa wakuu wa jeshi la Uajemi na Umedi, watu wenye vyeo, na viongozi 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 Mfalme akaweka wazi utajiri na utukufu wa ufalme wake na heshima ya ukufu wa ukuu alio upata kwa siku nyingi, kwa siku180.
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 hizi zilipotimia, Mfalme aliaandaa karamu iliyodumu kwa siku saba. Karamu hii ilikuwa kwa watu wote walioishi katika ikulu ya Shushani, tangu mkubwa hadi mdogo. Behewa la bustani ya ikulu ya mfalme ndiyo karamu ilipofanyikia.
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 Behewa la bustani lilipambwa kwa mapazia meupe ya pamba na urujuani, yalifungwa kwa kamba za kitani safi na zambarau, yakiwa yametundikwa kwa pete za fedha na nguzo za marimari. Kulikuwa na makochi ya dhahabu na fedha juu ya sakafu ya marimari, mawe mekundu na meupe, na ya manjano na meusi.

7 Vinywaji viliandaliwa katika vikombe vya dhahabu. Na kila kikombe kilikuwa ni cha kipekee na kwa sababu ya ukarimu wa mfalme kulikuwa mvinyo mwingi.
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 Mfalme aliwambia wahudumu watu wagawiwe vinywaji kwa kila mtu kulingana na matakwa yake. Maana tayari mfalme alikuwa ametoa agizo kwa watumishi wa ikulu kuwafanyia wageni kulingana na matakwa ya kila mgeni.
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 Wanawake nao walikuwa wamealikwa katika karamu na Malkia Vashiti katika ikulu ya Mfalme Ahusuero.
also Vashti [the] queen to make: offer feast woman house: home [the] royalty which to/for king Ahasuerus
10 katika siku ya saba moyo wa mfalme ulipokuwa na furaha kwa sababu ya mvinyo, aliwaagiza Mehumani, Biztha, Harbona, Bigtha, Abagtha, Zethari na Karkas (hawa saba ndio waliohudumu mbele ya mfalme)
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 Vashiti akiwa katika mavazi yake ya kimalkia. Akiwa na lengo la kuwaonyesha watu na maakida urembo wake, maana alikuwa mrembo.
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 Pamoja na maagizo ya Mfalme, Malkia Vashiti alikataa kwenda kama alivyokuwa amewaagiza viongozi wake. Hivyo mfalme akakasirika sana; ghadhabu yake ikawaka ndani yake
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 Mfalme akawandea wenye hekima, waliofahamu nyakati (kwa kuwa huu ndio uliokuwa utaratibu wa mfalme kuhusu wale waliokuwa watalaamu wa sheria na hukumu.
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 Carshena, Shethar, Admatha, Tarshish, Meres, Marsena, na Memucan, majimbo saba ya Uajemi na Umedi walikuwa karibu na mfalme na walikuwa na vyeo vikubwa katika ufalme.
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 Katika kutafsiri nini kifanyike kwa mjibu wa sheria kutoka na mgomo wa Malkia Vashiti dhidi ya agizo la mfalme Ahusiero kwa Malkia Vashiti.
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 Mmoja wao aliyejulikana kwa jina la Memukani alisema mbele ya Mfalme na mbele ya viongozi, Malkia Vashiti hajamkosea tu mfame na wakuu na watu wote walio katika majimbo ya mfale Ahusiero.
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 kuwa jambo la malkia litafahamika kwa wanawake wote. watawatendea waume zao vibaya. Watasema, 'Mfalme Ahusiero Malkia Vashiti hakumtii mme wake, Mfalme Ahusiero alipotaka ahudhurie mbele yake.'
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 Kabla ya siku hii wanawake wa wakuu wa Uajemi na Umedi walipata taarifa ya mgomo wa malkia Vashiti watawatendea waume zao, viongozi wa mfalme. kutakuwa na ghasia na nyingi hasira.
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 kama ni jambo jema kwa mfalme, ruhusu tangazo litolewe, na iwe katika sheria ya Waajemi na Wamedi, ambao haiwezi kutanguliwa, kwamba Vashiti hatakuja tena mbele za mfalme kama malkia. Nafasi ya Vashiti apewe mwingine ambaye ni bora zaidi ya Vashiti.
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 Tangazo la mfalme litakapotolewa katika ufalme wote, wanawake wote watawaheshimu waume zao, tangu mwenye cheo hadi asiye na cheo.”
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 Ushauri huu ulikuwa mzuri kwa mfalme na wakuu wengine, mfalme akafamya kama Memkani 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 Akatuma barua katika majimbo yote ya mfalme, kwa kilajambo na andiko lake, na watu kwa makabila yao. Aliamuru kwamba kila mme awe msimamizi katika nyumba yake mwenyewe. Tangazo hili lilitolewa katika lungha ya kila mtu katika ufalme.
