Ester 2
1 Kalpasan dagitoy a banbanag, idi bimmaawen ti pungtot ni Ari Ahasuero, nalagipna ni Vasti ken ti inaramidna. Nalagipna met ti maipapan iti bilin nga inaramidna a maibusor kenkuana.
After these things, at the ceasing of the fury of the king Ahasuerus, he hath remembered Vashti, and that which she did, and that which hath been decreed concerning her;
2 Ket kinuna dagiti agtutubo a lallaki nga agserserbi kenkuana, “Iti biang iti ari, adda koma maaramid a panagbirok kadagiti napipintas a birhen a babbalasang.
and servants of the king, his ministers, say, 'Let them seek for the king young women, virgins, of good appearance,
3 Mangdutok koma ti ari kadagiti opisial kadagiti amin a probinsia iti pagarianna, a mangummong kadagiti amin a napipintas a birhen a babbalasang idiay harem iti palasio iti Susa. Maipaaywanda koma kenni Hegai, nga opisial ti ari, nga isu iti agay-aywan kadagiti babbai, ket bay-am isuna a mangted kadakuada kadagiti pagpapintas.
and the king doth appoint inspectors in all provinces of his kingdom, and they gather every young woman — virgin, of good appearance — unto Shushan the palace, unto the house of the women, unto the hand of Hege eunuch of the king, keeper of the women, and to give their purifications,
4 Ti balasang a makaay-ayo iti ari ti agbalin a reyna a kasukat ni Vasti.” Daytoy a balakad ket nagustoan iti ari, ket inaramidna ngarud daytoy.
and the young woman who is good in the eyes of the king doth reign instead of Vashti;' and the thing is good in the eyes of the king, and he doth so.
5 Adda maysa a Judio iti siudad ti Susa nga agnagan iti Mardokeo a putot a lalaki ni Jair a puto a lalaki ni Simei a puto a lalaki ni Kis, a Benjamita.
A man, a Jew, there hath been in Shushan the palace, and his name [is] Mordecai son of Jair, son of Shimei, son of Kish, a Benjamite —
6 Naiyadayo isuna iti Jerusalem ta nairaman isuna kadagiti naitalaw a kas balud a kaduada Jehoiakim nga ari ti Juda, nga intalaw ni Nebucadnesar nga ari ti Babylonia.
who had been removed from Jerusalem with the removal that was removed with Jeconiah king of Judah, whom Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon removed —
7 Inay-aywananna ni Hadassa, dayta ket ni Ester, a puto a babai ti ulitegna, gapu ta awan ti ama wenno inana. Napintas ti pammagi ti balasang ken makaay-ayo ti langana. Inbilang isuna ni Mardokeo a kas bukodna a putot a babai.
and he is supporting Hadassah — she [is] Esther — daughter of his uncle, for she hath neither father nor mother, and the young woman [is] of fair form, and of good appearance, and at the death of her father and her mother hath Mordecai taken her to him for a daughter.
8 Idi a naipakaammo ti bilin ken linteg ti ari, adu a babbalasang ti naiyeg iti palasio ti Susa. Naipaaywanda kenni Hegai. Naipan met ni Ester iti palasio ti ari ken naipaaywan kenni Hegai, ti mangay-aywan kadagiti babbai.
And it cometh to pass, in the word of the king, even his law, being heard, and in many young women being gathered unto Shushan the palace, unto the hand of Hegai, that Esther is taken unto the house of the king, unto the hand of Hegai, keeper of the women,
9 Naay-ayo ti balasang ni Hegai, ket nagun-odna ti paborna. Dagus nga impaayanna kadagiti pagpapintas ken iti bingayna a taraon. Nangidutok isuna kenkuana kadagiti pito nga adipen a babbai a naggapo iti palasio ti ari, ket inkabilna isuna ken dagiti adipen a babbai iti kasasayaatan a paset iti balay dagiti babbai.
and the young woman is good in his eyes, and she receiveth kindness before him, and he hasteneth her purifications and her portions — to give to her, and the seven young women who are provided — to give to her, from the house of the king, and he changeth her and her young women to a good [place in] the house of the women.
10 Awan ti siasinoman a nangibagaan ni Ester no siasino dagiti tattao wenno kakabagianna, ta imbilin kenkuana ni Mardokeo a saanna nga ibagbaga.
Esther hath not declared her people, and her kindred, for Mordecai hath laid a charge on her that she doth not declare [it];
11 Inaldaw nga agsubli subli ni Mardokeo iti paraangan ti balay dagiti babbai, tapno maamoanna no ania ti mapaspasamak kenni Ester, ken no ania iti mabalin a maaramid kenkuana.
and during every day Mordecai is walking up and down before the court of the house of the women to know the welfare of Esther, and what is done with her.
12 Idi dimteng ti batang ti tunggal babai a mapan kenni Ari Ahasuero—kas panagtulnog kadagiti annuruten para kadagiti babbai, lippasen ti tunggal babai ti sangapulo ket dua a bulan a panagpapintas, innem a bulan nga agusarda iti lana ti mira, ken innem a bulan nga agusarda ti pabanglo ken pagpapintas—
And in the drawing nigh of the turn of each young woman to come in unto the king Ahasuerus, at the end of there being to her — according to the law of the women — twelve months, for so they fulfil the days of their purifications; six months with oil of myrrh, and six months with spices, and with the purifications of women,
13 inton mapan ti balasang iti ayan ti ari, maipaay kenkuana aniaman a tarigagayanna manipud iti balay dagiti babbai, nga itugotna iti palasio.
and with this the young woman hath come in unto the king, all that she saith is given to her, to go in with her, out of the house of the women, unto the house of the king;
14 Sumrek isuna iti rabii, ket iti kabigatanna agsubli isuna iti maikadua a balay dagiti babbai, ken iti panangaywan ni Saasgas, ti opisial iti ari, a mangay- aywan kadagiti assawa iti ari. Saan isuna nga agsubli iti ari malaksid no naliwliwa kenkuana ti ari ket paayabanna manen isuna.
in the evening she hath gone in, and in the morning she hath turned back unto the second house of the women, unto the hand of Shaashgaz eunuch of the king, keeper of the concubines; she cometh not in any more unto the king except the king hath delighted in her, and she hath been called by name.
15 Ita dimteng ti tiempo ni Ester (putot a babai ni Abihail, ti uliteg ni Mardokeo, a nangala kenkuana a kas bukodna a putot a babai) a mapan iti ayan ti ari, awan iti aniaman a kiniddawna no di, ti insingasing ni Hegai nga opisial ti ari a mangay-aywan kadagiti babbai. Ita nagun-od ni Ester ti pabor dagiti amin a nakakita kenkuana.
And in the drawing nigh of the turn of Esther — daughter of Abihail, uncle of Mordecai, whom he had taken to him for a daughter — to come in unto the king, she hath not sought a thing except that which Hegai eunuch of the king, keeper of the women, saith, and Esther is receiving grace in the eyes of all seeing her.
16 Naiyeg ni Ester iti pagtaengan ni Ari Ahasuero iti maikasangapulo a bulan, a bulan ti Tebeth, iti maikapito a tawen iti panagturayna.
And Esther is taken unto the king Ahasuerus, unto his royal house, in the tenth month — it [is] the month of Tebeth — in the seventh year of his reign,
17 Inayat ti ari ni Ester a nalablabes ngem kadagiti amin a babbai, ket nagun-od ni Ester ti pabor ken panagayat iti sangoanan ti ari, a nalablabes ngem kadagiti amin a birhen, isu nga inkabil ti ari ti korona ti reyna iti ulo ni Ester ket insaad ti ari ni Ester a reyna a kasukat ni Vasti.
and the king loveth Esther above all the women, and she receiveth grace and kindness before him above all the virgins, and he setteth a royal crown on her head, and causeth her to reign instead of Vashti,
18 Nangangay ti ari iti dakkel a padaya para kadagiti amin nga opisial ken kadagiti adipenna, “Padaya ni Ester,” ket impaayna ti tulong kadagiti probinsia manipud kadagiti naibayad a buis. Nangited pay isuna kadagiti sagut a nabuyugan iti kinaimbag.
and the king maketh a great banquet to all his heads and his servants — the banquet of Esther — and a release to the provinces hath made, and giveth gifts as a memorial of the king.
19 Ita, idi sangsangkamaysa a naummong manen dagiti birhen iti maikadua a tiempo, nakatugaw ni Mardokeo iti ruangan ti palasio ti ari.
And in the virgins being gathered a second time, then Mordecai is sitting in the gate of the king;
20 Saan pay nga imbaga ni Ester iti siasinoman iti maipanggep kadagiti kakabagianna wenno tattaona, a kas imbilin ni Mardokeo kenkuana. Intuloyna a tinungpal ti balakad ni Mardokeo, a kas inaramidna idi inaywananna isuna.
Esther is not declaring her kindred and her people, as Mordecai hath laid a charge upon her, and the saying of Mordecai Esther is doing as when she was truly with him.
21 Kadagidiay nga al-aldaw, kabayatan nga agtugtugaw ni Mardokeo iti ruangan ti palasio ti ari, dua kadagiti opisyal ti ari ti nakaunget, da Bigtana ken Teres, a mangbanbantay iti ruangan iti ari, ket pinanggepda a dangran ni Ari Ahasuero.
In those days, when Mordecai is sitting in the gate of the king, hath Bigthan been wroth, and Teresh, (two of the eunuchs of the king, the keepers of the threshold, ) and they seek to put forth a hand on king Ahasuerus,
22 Idi naiparangarang dayta a banag kenni Mardokeo, imbagana kenni Reyna Ester, ket nakisarita ni Ester iti ari babaen iti nagan ni Mardokeo.
and the thing is known to Mordecai, and he declareth [it] to Esther the queen, and Esther speaketh to the king in the name of Mordecai,
23 Nasukimat ken napaneknekan ti damag, ket nabitay nga agpada dagiti dua a lallaki. Naisurat ti pasamak Iti Libro Iti Pakasaritaan iti imatang iti ari.
and the thing is sought out, and found, and they are hanged both of them on a tree, and it is written in the book of the Chronicles before the king.
