Esther 1:13 (YLT) Young's Literal Translation

1 And it cometh to pass, in the days of Ahasuerus -- he is Ahasuerus who is reigning from Hodu even unto Cush, seven and twenty and a hundred provinces --
2 in those days, at the sitting of the king Ahasuerus on the throne of his kingdom, that is in Shushan the palace,
3 in the third year of his reign, he hath made a banquet to all his heads and his servants; of the force of Persia and Media, the chiefs and heads of the provinces are before him,
4 in his shewing the wealth of the honour of his kingdom, and the glory of the beauty of his greatness, many days -- eighty and a hundred days.
5 And at the fulness of these days hath the king made to all the people who are found in Shushan the palace, from great even unto small, a banquet, seven days, in the court of the garden of the house of the king --
6 white linen, white cotton, and blue, fastened with cords of fine linen and purple on rings of silver, and pillars of marble, couches of gold, and of silver, on a pavement of smaragdus, and white marble, and mother-of-pearl, and black marble --
7 and the giving of drink in vessels of gold, and the vessels are divers vessels, and the royal wine is abundant, as a memorial of the king.
8 And the drinking is according to law, none is pressing, for so hath the king appointed for every chief one of his house, to do according to the pleasure of man and man.
9 Also Vashti the queen hath made a banquet for women, in the royal house that the king Ahasuerus hath.
10 On the seventh day, as the heart of the king is glad with wine, he hath said to Mehuman, Biztha, Harbona, Bigtha, and Abagtha, Zethar, and Carcas, the seven eunuchs who are ministering in the presence of the king Ahasuerus,
11 to bring in Vashti the queen before the king, with a royal crown, to shew the peoples and the heads her beauty, for she is of good appearance,
12 and the queen Vashti refuseth to come in at the word of the king that is by the hand of the eunuchs, and the king is very wroth, and his fury hath burned in him.
13 And the king saith to wise men, knowing the times -- for so is the word of the king before all knowing law and judgment,
14 and he who is near unto him is Carshena, Shethar, Admatha, Tarshish, Meres, Marsena, Memucan, seven heads of Persia and Media seeing the face of the king, who are sitting first in the kingdom --
15 `According to law, what -- to do with queen Vashti, because that she hath not done the saying of the king Ahasuerus by the hand of the eunuchs?`
16 And Memucan saith before the king and the heads, `Not against the king by himself hath Vashti the queen done perversely, but against all the heads, and against all the peoples that are in all provinces of the king Ahasuerus;
17 for go forth doth the word of the queen unto all the women, to render their husbands contemptible in their eyes, in their saying, The king Ahasuerus said to bring in Vashti the queen before him, and she did not come;
18 yea, this day do princesses of Persia and Media, who have heard the word of the queen, say so to all heads of the king, even according to the sufficiency of contempt and wrath.
19 `If to the king it be good, there goeth forth a royal word from before him, and it is written with the laws of Persia and Media, and doth not pass away, that Vashti doth not come in before the king Ahasuerus, and her royalty doth the king give to her companion who is better than she;
20 and the sentence of the king that he maketh hath been heard in all his kingdom -- for it is great -- and all the wives give honour to their husbands, from great even unto small.`
21 And the thing is good in the eyes of the king, and of the princes, and the king doth according to the word of Memucan,
22 and sendeth letters unto all provinces of the king, unto province and province according to its writing, and unto people and people according to its tongue, for every man being head in his own house -- and speaking according to the language of his people.
1 Now it came to pass H1961 in the days H3117 of Ahasuerus, H325 ( this H1931 is Ahasuerus H325 which reigned, H4427 from India H4480 H1912 even unto H5704 Ethiopia, H3568 over a hundred H3967 and seven H7651 and twenty H6242 provinces: H4082 )
2 That in those H1992 days, H3117 when the king H4428 Ahasuerus H325 sat H3427 on H5921 the throne H3678 of his kingdom, H4438 which H834 was in Shushan H7800 the palace, H1002
3 In the third H7969 year H8141 of his reign, H4427 he made H6213 a feast H4960 unto all H3605 his princes H8269 and his servants; H5650 the power H2428 of Persia H6539 and Media, H4074 the nobles H6579 and princes H8269 of the provinces, H4082 being before H6440 him:
4 When he showed H7200 H853 the riches H6239 of his glorious H3519 kingdom H4438 and the honor H3366 of his excellent H8597 majesty H1420 many H7227 days, H3117 even a hundred H3967 and fourscore H8084 days. H3117
5 And when these H428 days H3117 were expired, H4390 the king H4428 made H6213 a feast H4960 unto all H3605 the people H5971 that were present H4672 in Shushan H7800 the palace, H1002 both unto great H4480 H1419 and small, H6996 seven H7651 days, H3117 in the court H2691 of the garden H1594 of the king's H4428 palace; H1055
6 Where were white, H2353 green, H3768 and blue, H8504 hangings , fastened H270 with cords H2256 of fine linen H948 and purple H713 to H5921 silver H3701 rings H1550 and pillars H5982 of marble: H8336 the beds H4296 were of gold H2091 and silver, H3701 upon H5921 a pavement H7531 of red, H923 and blue, H8336 and white, H1858 and black marble. H5508
7 And they gave them drink H8248 in vessels H3627 of gold, H2091 (the vessels H3627 being diverse H8138 one from another H4480 H3627 ,) and royal H4438 wine H3196 in abundance, H7227 according to the state H3027 of the king. H4428
8 And the drinking H8360 was according to the law; H1881 none H369 did compel: H597 for H3588 so H3651 the king H4428 had appointed H3245 to H5921 all H3605 the officers H7227 of his house, H1004 that they should do H6213 according to every man H376 H376 's pleasure. H7522
9 Also H1571 Vashti H2060 the queen H4436 made H6213 a feast H4960 for the women H802 in the royal H4438 house H1004 which H834 belonged to king H4428 Ahasuerus. H325
10 On the seventh H7637 day, H3117 when the heart H3820 of the king H4428 was merry H2895 with wine, H3196 he commanded H559 Mehuman, H4104 Biztha, H968 Harbona, H2726 Bigtha, H903 and Abagtha, H5 Zethar, H2242 and Carcas, H3752 the seven H7651 chamberlains H5631 that served H8334 H853 in the presence H6440 of Ahasuerus H325 the king, H4428
11 To bring H935 H853 Vashti H2060 the queen H4436 before H6440 the king H4428 with the crown H3804 royal, H4438 to show H7200 the people H5971 and the princes H8269 H853 her beauty: H3308 for H3588 she H1931 was fair H2896 to look on. H4758
12 But the queen H4436 Vashti H2060 refused H3985 to come H935 at the king's H4428 commandment H1697 by H834 H3027 his chamberlains: H5631 therefore was the king H4428 very H3966 wroth, H7107 and his anger H2534 burned H1197 in him.
13 Then the king H4428 said H559 to the wise men, H2450 which knew H3045 the times, H6256 ( for H3588 so H3651 was the king's H4428 manner H1697 toward H6440 all H3605 that knew H3045 law H1881 and judgment: H1779
14 And the next H7138 unto H413 him was Carshena, H3771 Shethar, H8369 Admatha, H133 Tarshish, H8659 Meres, H4825 Marsena, H4826 and Memucan, H4462 the seven H7651 princes H8269 of Persia H6539 and Media, H4074 which saw H7200 the king's H4428 face, H6440 and which sat H3427 the first H7223 in the kingdom; H4438 )
15 What H4100 shall we do H6213 unto the queen H4436 Vashti H2060 according to law, H1881 because H5921 H834 she hath not H3808 performed H6213 H853 the commandment H3982 of the king H4428 Ahasuerus H325 by H3027 the chamberlains H5631 ?
16 And Memucan H4462 answered H559 before H6440 the king H4428 and the princes, H8269 Vashti H2060 the queen H4436 hath not H3808 done wrong H5753 to H5921 the king H4428 only, H905 but H3588 also to H5921 all H3605 the princes, H8269 and to H5921 all H3605 the people H5971 that H834 are in all H3605 the provinces H4082 of the king H4428 Ahasuerus. H325
17 For H3588 this deed H1697 of the queen H4436 shall come abroad H3318 unto H5921 all H3605 women, H802 so that they shall despise H959 their husbands H1167 in their eyes, H5869 when it shall be reported, H559 The king H4428 Ahasuerus H325 commanded H559 H853 Vashti H2060 the queen H4436 to be brought in H935 before H6440 him , but she came H935 not. H3808
18 Likewise shall the ladies H8282 of Persia H6539 and Media H4074 say H559 this H2088 day H3117 unto all H3605 the king's H4428 princes, H8269 which H834 have heard of H8085 H853 the deed H1697 of the queen. H4436 Thus shall there arise too much H1767 contempt H963 and wrath. H7110
19 If H518 it please H2895 H5921 the king, H4428 let there go H3318 a royal H4438 commandment H1697 from H4480 H6440 him , and let it be written H3789 among the laws H1881 of the Persians H6539 and the Medes, H4074 that it be not H3808 altered, H5674 That H834 Vashti H2060 come H935 no H3808 more before H6440 king H4428 Ahasuerus; H325 and let the king H4428 give H5414 her royal estate H4438 unto another H7468 that is better H2896 than H4480 she.
20 And when the king's H4428 decree H6599 which H834 he shall make H6213 shall be published H8085 throughout all H3605 his empire, H4438 ( for H3588 it H1931 is great, H7227 ) all H3605 the wives H802 shall give H5414 to their husbands H1167 honor, H3366 both to great H4480 H1419 and small. H6996
21 And the saying H1697 pleased H3190 H5869 the king H4428 and the princes; H8269 and the king H4428 did H6213 according to the word H1697 of Memucan: H4462
22 For he sent H7971 letters H5612 into H413 all H3605 the king's H4428 provinces, H4082 into H413 every province H4082 H4082 according to the writing H3791 thereof , and to H413 every people H5971 H5971 after their language, H3956 that every H3605 man H376 should H1961 bear rule H8323 in his own house, H1004 and that it should be published H1696 according to the language H3956 of every people.
