1 Aⱨaxwerox (Ⱨindistandin Ⱨǝbǝxistanƣiqǝ bir yüz yigirmǝ yǝttǝ ɵlkigǝ ⱨɵkümranliⱪ ⱪilƣan Aⱨaxwerox)ning tǝhttiki künliridǝ xundaⱪ bir wǝⱪǝ boldi: —
King Xerxes ruled [a very big empire which had] 127 provinces. It extended from India [in the east] to Ethiopia [in the west].
2 Xu künlǝrdǝ, u padixaⱨ Aⱨaxwerox Xuxan ⱪǝl’ǝsidiki xaⱨanǝ tǝhtidǝ olturƣinida,
He ruled the empire [while he lived] in the capital city, Susa.
3 u sǝltǝnǝt sürüp üqinqi yili barliⱪ ǝmirliri wǝ bǝg-ⱨakimliriƣa ziyapǝt bǝrdi; Pars wǝ Medianing ⱪoxuni, xuningdǝk ⱨǝrⱪaysi ɵlkilǝrning esilzadiliri wǝ bǝglirining ⱨǝmmisi uning ⱨuzuriƣa ⱨazir boldi.
During the third year that he ruled his empire, he invited all his administrators and [other] officials to a big banquet/feast. He invited all the commanders of the armies of Persia and Media to come to the banquet. He also invited the governors and other leaders of the provinces.
4 U sǝltǝnitining bayliⱪining xanu-xǝwkiti wǝ ⱨǝywitining katta julasini kɵp künlǝr, yǝni bir yüz sǝksǝn kün kɵrgǝzmǝ ⱪildi.
[The celebration] lasted for six months. During that time the king showed his guests all his wealth and other things that showed how great his kingdom was (OR, how great a king he was).
5 Bu künlǝr ɵtüp kǝtkǝndin keyin padixaⱨ yǝnǝ Xuxan ⱪǝl’ǝsidiki barliⱪ hǝlⱪⱪǝ qong-kiqik demǝy, ordining qarbeƣidiki ⱨoylida yǝttǝ kün ziyapǝt bǝrdi.
At the end of those six months, the king invited people to another banquet. He invited to the banquet all the men who worked in the palace, including those who had important jobs and those who had unimportant jobs. [This celebration] lasted for seven days. It was in the courtyard of the palace in Susa.
6 U yǝr aⱪ wǝ kɵk kǝndir yiptin toⱪulƣan pǝrdilǝr bilǝn bezǝlgǝn bolup, bu pǝrdilǝr mǝrmǝr tax tüwrüklǝrgǝ bekitilgǝn kümüx ⱨalⱪilarƣa aⱪ rǝnglik kǝndir yip wǝ sɵsün yungluⱪ xoynilar bilǝn esilƣanidi; aⱪ ⱪaxtax wǝ aⱪ mǝrmǝr taxlar, sǝdǝp wǝ ⱪara mǝrmǝr taxlar yatⱪuzulƣan mǝydan üstigǝ altun-kümüxtin yasalƣan diwanlar ⱪoyulƣanidi.
[In the courtyard] were beautiful blue and white curtains that were fastened by white and purple cords/ribbons to rings that were on pillars made from [expensive white stone called] marble. [The guests sat on] gold and silver couches. The couches were on a pavement/floor which had on top of it designs made from various kinds of expensive stones.
7 Iqimliklǝr altun jamlarda tutup iqilǝtti; jamlar bir-birigǝ ohximaytti; xaⱨanǝ mǝy-xarablar padixaⱨning sǝltǝnitigǝ yarixa mol idi.
[The guests] drank wine from gold cups. Each cup had a different design on it.
8 Xarab iqix ⱪaidisi boyiqǝ, zorlaxⱪa ruhsǝt ⱪilinmaytti; qünki padixaⱨ ordidiki barliⱪ ƣojidarlarƣa, ⱨǝrkimning iqixi ɵz haⱨixi boyiqǝ bolsun, dǝp bekitip bǝrgǝnidi.
There was a lot of wine, because the king wanted the guests to drink as much as they wanted. But the king told the servants that they should not force anyone to drink more than he wanted.
9 Hanix Waxtimu padixaⱨ Aⱨaxweroxning ordisida ayallar üqün ziyapǝt bǝrdi.
[At the same time, the king’s wife, ] Queen Vashti, invited the wives of the men who worked in the palace to a banquet [in another room in the palace].
10 Yǝttinqi küni Aⱨaxwerox padixaⱨ xarabtin kǝypi qaƣ bolƣinida, aldida hizmitidǝ turƣan Mǝⱨuman, Bizta, Ⱨarbona, Bigta, Abagta, Zetar, Karkas degǝn yǝttǝ ⱨǝrǝm’aƣisini
On the last/seventh day of those banquets, when King Xerxes was partially drunk from drinking wine, he [summoned] seven of his personal servants. They were Mehuman, Biztha, Harbona, Bigtha, Abagtha, Zethar, and Carcas.
11 hanix Waxtining puⱪralar wǝ ǝmirlǝrning aldida güzǝllikini kɵrsǝtsun dǝp, uni hanixliⱪ tajini kiyip kelixkǝ qarⱪirƣili ǝwǝtti; qünki u tolimu qirayliⱪ idi.
He told them to bring Queen Vashti to him, wearing her crown. He wanted his guests to see that she was very beautiful.
12 Lekin ⱨǝrǝm’aƣiliri hanix Waxtiƣa padixaⱨning ǝmrini yǝtküzgǝndǝ, u kelixni rǝt ⱪildi; xuning bilǝn padixaⱨ intayin ƣǝzǝplinip, uning ⱪǝⱨri ɵrlidi.
But when those servants told Vashti what the king wanted, she refused to go to the king [because she did not want to display her beauty in front of a group of half-drunk men]. So that caused the king to become very angry.
13 Xu waⱪitlarda padixaⱨning ixliri toƣruluⱪ ⱪanun-ǝⱨkamlarni pixxiⱪ bilgǝnlǝrdin mǝsliⱨǝt sorax aditi bar idi; xunga padixaⱨ wǝziyǝtni pixxiⱪ qüxinidiƣan danixmǝnlǝrdin soridi
Immediately he had a meeting with the seven men who were the most important officials in Persia and Media. They were the men whom he often asked (for their advice/what he should do). And they were men who knew all the customs and laws [of Persia]. Their names were Carshena, Shethar, Admatha, Tarshish, Meres, Marsena, and Memucan.
14 (u qaƣda danixmǝnlǝrdin uning yenida Karxina, Xetar, Admata, Tarxix, Mǝrǝs, Marsena, Mǝmukan ⱪatarliⱪ yǝttǝ Pars bilǝn Medianing ǝmirliri bar idi; ular daim padixaⱨ bilǝn kɵrüxüp turatti, padixaⱨliⱪta ular aldinⱪi ⱪatarda turatti).
15 Padixaⱨ ulardin: — Hanix Waxti mǝnki padixaⱨ Aⱨaxweroxning ⱨǝrǝm’aƣilar arⱪiliⱪ yǝtküzgǝn ǝmrim boyiqǝ ix ⱪilmiƣini üqün uni ⱪanun boyiqǝ ⱪandaⱪ bir tǝrǝp ⱪilix kerǝk? — dǝp soridi.
The king said to them, “Queen Vashti has refused to obey me when I sent my servants [to tell her to come here]. What do our laws say that we should do to someone who [acts/behaves like that]?”
16 Mǝmukan padixaⱨ wǝ ǝmirlǝrning aldida jawap berip: — Hanix Waxti aliylirining zitiƣa tegipla ⱪalmay, bǝlki padixaⱨimiz Aⱨaxweroxning ⱨǝrⱪaysi ɵlkiliridiki barliⱪ ǝmirlǝr wǝ barliⱪ puⱪralarningmu zitiƣa tǝgdi.
While the other officials were present, Memucan told the king, [“Your majesty], Queen Vashti has (insulted/done wrong against) you, but she has also insulted all your officials and everyone else (in your empire/that you rule over).
17 Qünki hanixning xu ⱪilƣini barliⱪ ayallarning ⱪuliⱪiƣa yǝtsǝ, ular «Padixaⱨ Aⱨaxwerox: «Hanixi Waxtini yenimƣa elip kelinglar» dǝp ǝmr ⱪilsa, u kǝlmǝptu!» dǝp ɵz ǝrlirini mǝnsitmǝydiƣan ⱪilip ⱪoyidu.
All the women [throughout the empire] will hear what she has done, and they will say, ‘The king commanded Queen Vashti to come to him, and she refused.’ [So they will not obey their husbands. Instead, ] they will begin to not respect their husbands.
18 Pars wǝ Mediadiki mǝlikǝ-hanimlar hanixning bu ixini anglap, bügünla padixaⱨning barliⱪ bǝg-ǝmirlirigǝ xuningƣa ohxax dǝydiƣan bolidu, xuning bilǝn mǝnsitmǝslik wǝ hapiliⱪ üzülmǝydu.
Before this day ends, the wives of all us officials in Persia and Media will hear what the queen did, and they also will refuse to obey their husbands. They will not respect us, and they will cause us to become very angry.
19 Padixaⱨimƣa muwapiⱪ kɵrünsǝ, aliyliridin mundaⱪ bir yarliⱪ qüxürülsun, xuningdǝk u Parslar wǝ Medialarning mǝnggü ɵzgǝrtilmǝydiƣan ⱪanun-bǝlgilimiliri iqigǝ pütülgǝyki, Waxti ikkinqi padixaⱨ Aⱨaxweroxning ⱨuzuriƣa kǝlmigǝy; uning hanixliⱪ mǝrtiwisi uningdin yahxi birsigǝ berilgǝy.
So if it pleases you, O king, you should write a law. Like all the other laws of Persia and Media, it will be a law that (no one can change/cannot be changed.) Write a law that states that Queen Vashti will never be allowed to see you again [and will not continue to be the queen]. Then you can choose another woman to be queen, a woman who deserves to be queen more than Vashti does.
20 Aliylirining jakarliƣan yarliⱪi pütün sǝltǝnitigǝ yetip anglanƣan ⱨaman (uning sǝltǝnitining zemini bipayan bolsimu), ayallarning ⱨǝrbiri ɵz erigǝ, mǝyli qong bolsun kiqik bolsun ularƣa ⱨɵrmǝt ⱪilidiƣan bolidu, — dedi.
Then, when everyone in your empire hears what you have commanded, all the women, including those who are important and those who are not important, will respect and obey their husbands.”
21 Mǝmukanning bu gepi padixaⱨ bilǝn ǝmirlirini hux ⱪildi; padixaⱨ uning gepi boyiqǝ ix kɵrdi.
The king and the other officials liked what Memucan suggested, so he [did that. He wrote a law] proclaiming that.
22 U padixaⱨning barliⱪ ɵlkilirigǝ, ⱨǝrbir ɵlgigǝ ɵz yeziⱪi bilǝn, ⱨǝrⱪaysi ǝl-millǝtkǝ ɵz tili bilǝn hǝtlǝrni ǝwǝtip: «Ⱨǝrbir ǝr kixi ɵz ailisi iqidǝ hojayin bolsun, xundaⱪla ɵz ana tili bilǝn sɵzlisun» degǝn ǝmrni qüxürdi.
Then he sent letters to all the provinces, stating that all men should have complete authority over their wives and their children. He wrote the letters in every language and type of writing/alphabet that was used in each province.
