astar 2:1-23
2 ihna galla to baad jad raja aheshverosh+ da gussa thanda ho gaya, taa os ne is gall ’te vichaar keeta ki vashti ne kee keeta si+ atey os nu kee saza ditti gayi si.+
2 fir raje de sevadara ne keha: “raje layi khoobsoorat kuaariya kudiya labhiya jaan.
3 raja apne raj de sare zilya vich adhikariya nu niyukt kare+ taaki oh sariya khoobsoorat kuaariya kudiya nu shushan* de kile* vich aurta de ghar* vich lai ke aaun. uthe ohna nu raje de adhikari* atey aurta de nigran hegayi+ di dekh-rekh adheen rakhya jave atey ohna di khoobsoorti nu nikharan layi prabandh keete jaan.*
4 jehrri kudi raje nu sabh to ziada pasand aave, os nu vashti di jagah rani banaya jave.”+ raje nu eh salah changi laggi atey os ne ose tarha keeta.
5 shushan*+ de kile* vich maardkayi+ naa da ik yahudi aadmi si. oh yaeer da puttar, shimayi da pota atey binyameeni+ keesh da parrpota si
6 jo ohna lokaa vicho si jinha nu baabel da raja nabukadnasar yahudah de raja yakanyah+ de naal yarushlam to gulam banaa ke lai gaya si.
7 maardkayi ne apne pita de rishtedar* di dhee hadassah di parvarish keeti si+ kyoki oh yatim si. os da naa astar vi si. oh kudi dekhan vich bahut sohni-sunakhi si. os de mata-pita di maut hon to baad maardkayi ne os nu god lai lya.
8 raje de farmaan da elaan hon to baad jad bahut sariya kuaariya kudiya nu ikattha kar ke shushan* de kile* vich aurta de nigran hegayi di nigrani adheen rakhya gaya,+ taa odo astar nu vi raje de mehel vich liaanda gaya.
9 hegayi astar to khush si atey oh os utte meherban hoya.* is layi os ne astar di khoobsoorti nu nikharan* da kamm turant shuru keeta+ atey os de khaan-peen da khaas intzam keeta. os ne raje de mehel vicho satt khaas naukraniya astar nu dittiya. nale baad vich os ne astar atey os diya naukraniya nu aurta de ghar* vich rehen layi sabh to vadiya jagah ditti.
10 astar ne apne lokaa ja rishtedara bare kujh nahi dassya+ kyoki maardkayi+ ne os nu hidayat ditti si ki oh is bare kise nu kujh na dasse.+
11 maardkayi har roz aurta de ghar* de vehrre de samne aaunda-janda si taaki oh astar da haal-chaal pata kar sake atey jaan sake ki oh kis haal vich si.
12 har kudi apni vari mutabak raja aheshverosh kol jandi si. par is to pehla 12 mahine kudiya di khoobsoorti nu nikharan* da kamm keeta janda si. ohna de chhe mahine gandhras da tel+ atey chhe mahine balsan da tel+ malya janda si atey hor kayi tarha de lep laye jande san.*
13 is to baad kudi nu raje kol lejaya janda si. aurta de ghar to raje de mehel vich jaan vele os di har farmaish poori keeti jandi si.
14 shaam nu oh raje kol jandi si atey saver nu oh aurta de dooje ghar* vich chali jandi si. uthe oh raje de adhikari* atey rakhela de nigran shashgaz di dekh-rekh vich rehndi si.+ koi vi kudi raje kol dobara nahi ja sakdi si. par je raja kise kudi to bahut khush hunda si atey os da naa lai ke bulaunda si, taa hi oh raje kol dobara ja sakdi si.+
15 hun maardkayi de rishtedar abihail di dhee astar, jis nu os ne god lya si,+ di raje kol jaan di vari aayi. raje de adhikari* atey aurta de nigran hegayi ne astar nu jo kujh ditta, os to ilava os ne hor kise cheez di mang nahi keeti. (jehrra vi astar nu milda si, oh os da dil jitt laindi si.)
16 astar nu raja aheshverosh de raj de sattve saal+ de dasve mahine yani tebeth* de mahine raje de mehel vich lejaya gaya.
17 raja astar to bahut khush hoya. os ne raje da dil jitt lya atey raje ne astar nu baaki sariya kudiya nalo ziada pasand* keeta. is layi os ne astar de sir ’te shahi taaj* pehnaya atey os nu vashti di jagah rani banaa ditta.+
18 raje ne astar layi ik vaddi daavat rakhi atey os ne apne sare mantriya atey adhikariya nu bulaya. fir os ne zilya vich elaan karvaya ki kaidiya nu reha keeta jave* atey os ne dil khol ke tohfe ditte.
19 jado dooji vari kuaariya kudiya+ nu ikattha keeta gaya, os same maardkayi raje de mehel de darvaze ’te baithda hunda si.
20 astar ne apne rishtedara atey apne lokaa bare kise nu kujh nahi dassya,+ theek jive maardkayi ne os nu hidayat ditti si. astar maardkayi da kehna manndi rehi, jive oh os de kol rehndya manndi hundi si.+
21 ohna dina vich jad maardkayi raje de mehel de darvaze ’te baithda si,* tad raje de do darbari, bigthan atey tarash, raj-mehel de darbaan san. ohna doha ne gusse vich aa ke raja aheshverosh nu maaran* di sazash gharri.
22 par jad maardkayi nu is bare pata lagga, taa os ne turant eh gall rani astar nu dassi. fir astar ne maardkayi da naa lai ke* eh gall raje nu dassi.
23 is mamle di janch-parrtal karan to baad eh gall sach saabat hoi. ohna dove aadmiya nu sooli ’te latka ditta gaya atey raje di hazoori vich eh poora mamla itehas di kitab vich darj keeta gaya.+
