Esther 1
1 Now it came to pass in the days of Ahasuerus, (this is Ahasuerus who reigned, from India even to Cush, over an hundred and seven and twenty provinces: )
Kadagidi aldaw a panagturay ni Ahasuero (daytoy ni Ahasuero a nagturay manipud India agingga iti Etiopia, kadagiti 127 a probinsia),
2 That in those days, when the king Ahasuerus sat on the throne of his kingdom, which was in Shushan the palace,
kadagidiay nga al-aldaw, nakatugaw ni Ari Ahasuero iti naarian a tronona iti palasiona idiay Susa.
3 In the third year of his reign, he made a feast to all his princes and his servants; the power of Persia and Media, the nobles and princes of the provinces, being before him:
Iti maikatlo a tawen a panagturayna, nangipaay isuna iti padaya para kadagiti amin nga opisial ken adipenna. Kaduana ti armada ti Persia ken Media, dagiti natatakneng a tattao, ken dagiti gobernador dagiti probinsia.
4 When he showed the riches of his glorious kingdom and the honour of his excellent majesty many days, even an hundred and eighty days.
Impakitana ti kinabaknang ti pagarianna ken ti dayaw iti dayag ti kinatan-okna iti adu nga al-aldaw, iti 180 nga aldaw.
5 And when these days had ended, the king made a feast for all the people that were present in Shushan the palace, both for great and small, seven days, in the court of the garden of the king’s palace;
Idi nalpasen dagitoy nga al-aldaw, nangipaay ti ari iti padaya a nagbayag iti pito nga aldaw. Daytoy ket para kadagiti amin a tattao nga adda iti palasio ti Susa, manipud iti katatan-okan agingga iti kanununumoan. Naangay daytoy iti paraangan ti minuyungan iti palasio ti ari.
6 Where were white, green, and blue, hangings, fastened with cords of fine linen and purple to silver rings and pillars of marble: the couches were of gold and silver, upon a pavement of red, and blue, and white, and black, marble.
Ti paraangan ti minuyungan ket naarkusan kadagiti kurtina a naaramid iti puraw a lupot ken lila nga addaan iti tali a lino ken lila, a nakabitin kadagiti singsing a pirak manipud iti adigi a marmol. Adda dagiti pagtugawan a balitok ken pirak iti pagbaddekan a nabaldusaan iti nangisit a bato, marmol, balay ti perlas, ken adda marisna a batbato.
7 And they gave them drink in vessels of gold, (the vessels differing one from another, ) and royal wine in abundance, according to the bounty of the king.
Naidasar dagiti mainum kadagiti balitok a kopa. Tunggal kopa ket naidumduma, ket adda naiyeg nga adu nga arak ti ari gapu iti kinamanangited iti ari.
8 And the drinking was according to the law; none constrained: for so the king had appointed to all the officers of his house, that they should do according to every man’s pleasure.
Ti panagiinom ket nagtultuloy kas panangsurot iti bilin, “Nasken nga awan ti pinnilitan.” Imbilin ti ari kadagiti amin a trabahador ti palasiona nga aramidenda ti aniaman a tarigagayan ti tunggal sangaili.
9 Also Vashti the queen made a feast for the women in the royal house which belonged to king Ahasuerus.
Nangangay met iti padaya ni Reyna Vasti para kadagiti babbai iti palasio ni Ari Ahasuero.
10 On the seventh day, when the heart of the king was merry with wine, he commanded Mehuman, Biztha, Harbona, Bigtha, and Abagtha, Zethar, and Carcas, the seven chamberlains that served in the presence of Ahasuerus the king,
Iti maikapito nga aldaw, idi agragragsak ti puso ti ari gapu iti arak, imbagana kada Mehuman, Bizta, Harbona, Bigta, Abagta, Zetar, ken Carcas (dagiti pito nga opisial nga agserserbi kenkuana),
11 To bring Vashti the queen before the king with the crown royal, to show the people and the princes her beauty: for she was fair to look on.
nga iyegda ni Reyna Vasti kenkuana a nakakorona. Kayatna nga ipakita kadagiti tattao ken kadagiti opisial ti kinapintasna, ta makapasiddaaw ti langana.
12 But the queen Vashti refused to come at the king’s commandment by his chamberlains: therefore was the king very angry, and his anger burned in him.
Ngem nagkedked ni Reyna Vasti a sumurot iti sao ti ari nga inyeg kenkuana dagiti opisial. Ket nakaunget unay ti ari; simged iti pungtot iti kaungganna.
13 Then the king said to the wise men, who knew the times, (for so was the king’s manner toward all that knew law and judgment:
Nakiuman ngarud ti ari kadagiti lallaki a mabigbigbig a masirib, a makaawat kadagiti panawen (ta daytoy iti pamuspusan iti ari no maipapan kadagiti isu amin a nalalaing iti linteg ken panangukom).
14 And the next to him was Carshena, Shethar, Admatha, Tarshish, Meres, Marsena, and Memucan, the seven princes of Persia and Media, who saw the king’s face, and who sat in the first place in the kingdom; )
Ita dagiti nasinged kenkuana ket da Carsena, Setar, Admata, Tarsis, Meres, Marsena, ken Memucan, dagiti pito a prinsipe iti Persia ken Media. Mabalinda iti umasideg iti ari, ken iggemda dagiti kangangatoan a akem iti pagarian.
15 What shall we do to the queen Vashti according to law, because she hath not performed the commandment of the king Ahasuerus by the chamberlains?
“Kas panangtungpal iti linteg, ania ti maaramid kenni Reyna Vasti gapu ta saan isuna a nagtulnog iti bilin ni Ari Ahasuero, nga inyeg kenkuana dagiti opisial?”
16 And Memucan answered before the king and the princes, Vashti the queen hath not done wrong to the king only, but also to all the princes, and to all the people that are in all the provinces of the king Ahasuerus.
Kinuna ni Memucan iti sangngoanan ti ari ken kadagiti opisial, “Saan laeng a maibusor iti ari ti biddut a naaramid ni reyna Vasti, ngem maibusor met kadagiti amin nga opisial ken amin a tattao nga adda kadagiti probinsia ni Ari Ahasuero.
17 For this deed of the queen shall become known to all women, so that they shall look with contempt upon their husbands, when it shall be reported, The king Ahasuerus commanded Vashti the queen to be brought in before him, but she came not.
Ta maamoanto dagiti amin a babbai ti inaramid ti reyna. Daytoyto ti pakaigapoan a tratoenda ti assawada nga addaan iti gura. Kunadanto, 'Imbilin iti ari nga iyegda ni reyna Vasti iti sangoananna, ngem nagkedked isuna.'
18 Likewise shall the ladies of Persia and Media say this day to all the king’s princes, who have heard of the deed of the queen. Thus shall there arise too much contempt and wrath.
Sakbay nga agleppas daytoy nga aldaw dagiti nataktakneng a babbai iti Persia ken Media a nakangngeg iti daytoy a banag maipangep iti reyna ket ibagadanto met kadagiti amin nga opisial iti ari. Addanto nakaro a gura ken pungtot.
19 If it pleaseth the king, let a royal commandment go from him, and let it be written among the laws of the Persians and the Medes, that it be not altered, That Vashti come no more before king Ahasuerus; and let the king give her royal estate to another that is better than she.
No makaay-ayo daytoy iti ari, mangipaulog isuna iti bilin nga aggapo kenkuana, ket mapalubusan a maisurat daytoy kadagiti linteg iti Persia ken Medes, a saanto a mabaliwan, a saanton a makaasideg ni Vasti kenkuana. Ited koma ti ari ti saadna a kas reyna iti sabali a nasaysayaat ngem isuna.
20 And when the king’s decree which he shall make shall be proclaimed throughout all his empire, (for it is great, ) all the wives shall give to their husbands honour, both to great and small.
Inton naipablaak ti bilin ti ari iti entero a nalawa a pagarianna, raemento amin dagiti babbai dagiti assawada, manipud iti katatan-okan agingga iti kanunumoan.”
21 And the saying pleased the king and the princes; and the king did according to the word of Memucan:
Naay-ayo ti ari ken dagiti natatakneng a lallaki iti daytoy a balakad, ket inaramid ti ari kas insingasing ni Memucan.
22 For he sent letters into all the king’s provinces, into every province according to the writing of it, and to every people after their language, that every man should bear rule in his own house, and that it should be proclaimed in the language of every people.
Nangipatulod ti ari iti surat kadagiti amin a probinsia a masakupan iti pagarianna, iti tunggal probinsia iti bukodda a pannurat, ken iti tunggal tattao iti bukodda a pagsasao. Imbilinna nga amin a lallaki ket masapul nga isu iti amo iti bukodna a pagtaengan. Naited daytoy a bilin iti pagsasao iti tunggal tattao nga adda iti emperio.
