1 Neryo omo biro bya Ahasuero,* ni bugha ambu, Ahasuero oyo wabya akatabala oko syongabiro* 127, eritsuka e India erihika e Etiopia,*
2 omo biro ebyo, Omwami Ahasuero inianikere oko kitumbi kiwe ky’obwami e Shushani* enyumba y’obwami,*
3 omo mwaka w’akasatu w’obutabali bwiwe, mwakolera abanyamwami biwe bosi n’abaghombe biwe bosi b’ekisendebele. Abasuda be Persia n’abe Media, abakulu, n’abanyamwami b’esyongabiro,* babya embere siwe.
4 Kandi omo biro bingyi, ebiro 180, mwabakangya obuteke bw’obutabali bwiwe bw’olukengerwa, n’obusike, n’obubuya bw’obukulu bwiwe.
5 Ebiro ebi byabere byabihwa, omwami mwakola ekisendebele busana n’abandu bosi ababya e Shushani,* enyumba y’obutabali, eritsuka oko bakulu erihika oko bake-bake omo biro 7, omo lubugha-bugha lw’akalima k’enyumba y’omwami.*
6 Habya halelembirye esyongyimba sy’ekitani, ekoto* eyuwene, n’esyongyimba sy’erangyi ye ble* esibohire omo syokamba sy’olukimba olukomerere, n’olukimba lw’obweya bw’embuli esibohere oko syombuka sy’efeza.* Habya esyonduyi sy’amalu-malu,* esyongyingo sy’ehoro n’efeza, byabya oko mabwe meru-meru awasesire, amalu-malu meru-meru, elulu, n’amalu-malu awakinire.
7 Edivai yabya ikatengerwa omo bikombe* by’ehoro. Obuli kikombe kyabya kiyisosire. N’edivai y’obwami yabya nyingyi kutsibu erikwamana n’obuteke bw’omwami.
8 Oko bilebirye obwabu, bwabya bukatengwa erikwamana n’ekyalayiro ekyabya kibughire kiti isibahatikana* omundu wosi-wosi; kusangwa omwami abya iniabiribwira abakulu b’omo bwikalo bwiwe ati baleke obuli mundu akole ngoko anzire.
9 Omughole ye Vasti naye mwakolera abakali b’ekisendebele eyiri enyumba y’obwami* ey’Omwami Ahasuero.
10 Oko kiro kye 7, omutima w’omwami iniabiritsema busana n’edivai, mwabwira Mehumani, Bizita, Harbona, Bigta, Abagta, Zetari na Karkasi, abakulu 7 b’omo nyumba y’obwami, ababya bakakolera Omwami Ahasuero,
11 ati balete omughole ye Vasti embere sy’omwami, inianambite embita* y’obwami; erikangania abandu n’abanyamwami b’obubuya bwiwe, kusangwa abya aghambire kutsibu.
12 Aliwe omughole ye Vasti, mwabya akaghana eryasa. Mwatasikya erihamula ly’omwami eryo alayira abakulu b’obutabali. Ekyo mukyahitania omwami yo kutsibu, n’erihitana liwe mulyaghulumira.
13 Neryo omwami mwakania n’abalume b’amenge ababya basi emyatsi ya kera;* (kusangwa emyatsi y’omwami ko yabya ikaletwa yitya embere sy’abosi abasi emighambo n’abasi erisoha esyombanza.
14 N’abahani biwe b’ahakuhi-kuhi babya Karshena, Shetari, Admata, Tarshishi, Mereshi, Marsena, na Memukani, abanya mwami 7, abe Persia ne Media ababya bakahika ahali omwami kandi ababya n’ebitumbi by’olukengerwa lunene omo bwami.)
15 Omwami mwabulyabo ati: “Erikwamana n’emighambo, omughole ye Vasti atolere iniakolerwa ati? Kusangwa mwatitasikya erihamula ly’Omwami Ahasuero, eryo alayira abakulu b’obutabali.”
16 Okw’ekyo Memukani mwabugha embere sy’omwami n’abanya mwami ati: “Si yo mwami musa yo omughole Vasti abirikosera, nikwa abirikosera abanyamwami bosi, n’abandu bosi b’omo syongabiro* syosi sy’Omwami Ahasuero.
17 Kundi abakali bosi abali omo manyumba wabo bakendyowa ekyo omughole alyakola; neryo bakendipokya abiba babo n’eribugha bati, ‘Omwami Ahasuero mwabugha ati omughole Vasti aletawe embere siwe, aliwe mwaghana eryasa.’
18 Neryo munabwire musa-musa, abaghole b’abanyamwami be Persia ne Media abasi oko mwatsi ogho omughole akolire, bakendikanirya abiba babo, n’ekyo kikendiluiramo akaghonero n’obuhitane bunene.
19 Kyamabitsemesya omwami, omwami ahireho erihano ry’obwami. N’erihana eryo rihandikawe omo mighambo ye Persia ne Media eyiteyangasubwamo, ngoko Vasti isyasyahika ekiro n’ekighuma embere sy’Omwami Ahasuero; neryo omwami ahe obughole bwiwe b’oghundi mukali oyuwene kumulenga.
20 N’omughulu erihana ly’omwami likendyowika omo butabali bwiwe bwosi bunene, abakali bosi bakendisikya abiba babo, eritsuka oko bakulu erihika oko bake-bake.”
21 Erihano eryo muryatsemesya omwami n’abanyamwami. N’omwami mwakola ekyo Memukani abugha.
22 Neryo mwatuma esyobaruha omo syongabiro syosi sy’obwami* bwiwe; obuli ngabiro* omo mihandikire yayo, n’abandu bosi omo mubughe wabo, ngoko obuli mulume abye mukama* omo nyumba yiwe, kandi abughe omo mubughe w’ekihanda kiwe.
