1 Este es un relato de lo que sucedió durante la época del rey Jerjes, el Jerjes que gobernaba 127 provincias desde la India hasta Etiopía.
1 Now in the days of Ahasuerus (this is Ahasuerus who reigned from India even to Ethiopia, over one hundred twenty-seven provinces),
2 En ese momento el rey Jerjes gobernaba desde su trono real en la fortaleza de Susa.
2 in those days, when the King Ahasuerus sat on the throne of his kingdom, which was in Susa the palace,
3 En el tercer año de su reinado organizó una fiesta para sus funcionarios y administradores. Los comandantes del ejército de Persia y Media, los nobles y los funcionarios provinciales estaban allí con él.
3 in the third year of his reign, he made a feast for all his princes and his servants; the army of Persia and Media, the nobles and princes of the provinces being before him.
4 Durante ciento ochenta días exhibió sus riquezas y la gloria de su reino, mostrando lo majestuoso, espléndido y glorioso que era.
4 He displayed the riches of his glorious kingdom and the honor of his excellent majesty many days, even one hundred eighty days.
5 Después de eso, el rey dio un banquete que duró siete días para todo el pueblo, grande y pequeño, que estaba allí en la fortaleza de Susa, en el patio del jardín del pabellón del rey.
5 When these days were fulfilled, the king made a seven day feast for all the people who were present in Susa the palace, both great and small, in the court of the garden of the king’s palace.
6 Estaba decorado con cortinas de algodón blanco y azul atadas con cordones de lino fino e hilo de púrpura sobre anillos de plata, sostenidos por pilares de mármol. Sobre un pavimento de pórfido púrpura, mármol, nácar y piedras costosas se colocaron sofás de oro y plata.
6 There were hangings of white and blue material, fastened with cords of fine linen and purple to silver rings and marble pillars. The couches were of gold and silver, on a pavement of red, white, yellow, and black marble.
7 Las bebidas se servían en copas de oro de diferentes tipos, y el vino real fluía libremente debido a la generosidad del rey.
7 They gave them drinks in golden vessels of various kinds, including royal wine in abundance, according to the bounty of the king.
8 El rey había ordenado que no se limitara la cantidad de bebida de los invitados; había dicho a sus servidores que dieran a cada uno lo que quisiera.
8 In accordance with the law, the drinking was not compulsory; for so the king had instructed all the officials of his house, that they should do according to every man’s pleasure.
9 La reina Vasti también preparó un banquete para las mujeres del palacio que pertenecía al rey Jerjes.
9 Also Vashti the queen made a feast for the women in the royal house which belonged to King Ahasuerus.
10 El séptimo día del banquete, el rey, sintiéndose feliz por haber bebido vino, ordenó a los siete eunucos que eran sus asistentes, Mehumán, Bizta, Harbona, Bigta, Abagta, Zetar y Carcas,
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 Carcass, the seven eunuchs who served in the presence of Ahasuerus the king,
11 que le trajeran a la reina Vasti con su tocado real, para que pudiera mostrar su belleza al pueblo y a los funcionarios, pues era muy atractiva.
11 to bring Vashti the queen before the king wearing the royal crown, to show the people and the princes her beauty; for she was beautiful.
12 Pero cuando los eunucos le entregaron la orden del rey, la reina Vastise negó a venir. El rey se enfadó muchísimo; estaba absolutamente furioso.
12 But the queen Vashti refused to come at the king’s commandment by the eunuchs. Therefore the king was very angry, and his anger burned in him.
13 Entonces el rey habló con los sabios que sabrían qué hacer, pues era costumbre que pidiera la opinión de expertos en procedimientos y asuntos legales.
13 Then the king said to the wise men, who knew the times (for it was the king’s custom to consult those who knew law and judgment;
14 Los más cercanos a él eran Carsena, Setar, Admata, Tarsis, Meres, Marsena, y Memucán. Eran los siete nobles de Persia y Media que se reunían frecuentemente con el rey y ocupaban los más altos cargos del reino.
14 and next to him were Carshena, Shethar, Admatha, Tarshish, Meres, Marsena, and Memucan, the seven princes of Persia and Media, who saw the king’s face, and sat first in the kingdom),
15 “¿Qué dice la ley que debe hacerse con la reina Vasti?” , preguntó. “¡Ella se negó a obedecer la orden directa del rey Jerjes dictada por los eunucos!”
15 “What shall we do to Queen Vashti according to law, because she has not done the bidding of the King Ahasuerus by the eunuchs?”
16 Memucán dio su respuesta ante el rey y los nobles: “La reina Vasti no sólo ha insultado al rey, sino a todos los nobles y a todo el pueblo de todas las provincias del rey Jerjes.
16 Memucan answered before the king and the princes, “Vashti the queen has not done wrong to just the king, but also to all the princes, and to all the people who are in all the provinces of the King Ahasuerus.
17 Cuando se sepa lo que ha hecho la reina, todas las esposas menospreciarán a sus maridos, los mirarán con desprecio y les dirán: ‘¡El rey Jerjes ordenó que le trajeran a la reina Vasti, pero no vino!’.
17 For this deed of the queen will become known to all women, causing them to show contempt for their husbands when it is reported, ‘King Ahasuerus commanded Vashti the queen to be brought in before him, but she didn’t come.’
18 ¡Al final del día, las esposas de todos los nobles de toda Persia y de Media que hayan oído lo que hizo la reina, tratarán a sus nobles maridos con airado desprecio!
18 Today, the princesses of Persia and Media who have heard of the queen’s deed will tell all the king’s princes. This will cause much contempt and wrath.
19 “Si le place a Su Majestad, emita un decreto real, de acuerdo con las leyes de Persia y de Media que no pueden ser cambiadas, para que Vasti sea desterrada de la presencia del rey Jerjes, y para que Su Majestad le dé su posición real a otra, una que sea mejor que ella.
19 “If it pleases the king, let a royal commandment go from him, and let it be written among the laws of the Persians and the Medes, so that it cannot be altered, that Vashti may never again come before King Ahasuerus; and let the king give her royal estate to another who is better than she.
20 Cuando el decreto de Su Majestad sea proclamado en todo su vasto imperio, todas las esposas respetarán a sus maridos, sean de alta o baja cuna”.
20 When the king’s decree which he shall make is published throughout all his kingdom (for it is great), all the wives will give their husbands honor, both great and small.”
21 Este consejo les pareció bien al rey y a los nobles, así que el rey hizo lo que Memucán había dicho.
21 This advice pleased the king and the princes, and the king did according to the word of Memucan:
22 Envió cartas a todas las provincias del imperio, en la escritura y la lengua de cada una de ellas, para que cada hombre gobernara su propia casa y utilizara su propia lengua materna.
22 for he sent letters into all the king’s provinces, into every province according to its writing, and to every people in their language, that every man should rule his own house, speaking in the language of his own people.
