ሰሎሞን ጥበብ እንዲሰጠው ጠየቀ
1፥2-13 ተጓ ምብ – 3፥4-15
1፥14-17 ተጓ ምብ – 1ነገ 10፥26-29፤ 2ዜና 9፥25-28
1አምላኩ እግዚአብሔር ከእርሱ ጋር ስለ ነበር፣ እጅግም ስላገነነው፣ የዳዊት ልጅ ሰሎሞን በመንግሥቱ ላይ ተደላድሎ ተቀመጠ።
2ከዚያም ሰሎሞን ለመላው እስራኤል፣ ለሻለቆች፣ ለመቶ አለቆች፣ ለዳኞች፣ ለእስራኤል መሪዎች ሁሉ እንዲሁም ለየቤተ ሰቡ አለቆች ተናገረ። 3የእግዚአብሔር ባሪያ ሙሴ በምድረ በዳ የሠራው የአምላክ የመገናኛ ድንኳን በዚያ ስለ ነበር፣ ሰሎሞንና መላው ጉባኤ በገባዖን ወዳለው ኰረብታ ሄዱ። 4በዚያ ጊዜ ዳዊት የአምላክን ታቦት ከቂሪያት ይዓሪም በኢየሩሳሌም ድንኳን ተክሎ ወዳዘጋጀለት ስፍራ አምጥቶት ነበር፤ 5ይሁን እንጂ የሆር ልጅ፣ የኡሪ ልጅ ባስልኤል የሠራው መሠዊያ በገባዖን በእግዚአብሔር ማደሪያ ድንኳን ፊት ለፊት ይገኝ ነበር፤ ስለዚህ ሰሎሞንና ጉባኤው ይህንኑ ፈለጉ። 6ሰሎሞንም በእግዚአብሔር ፊት በመገናኛው ድንኳን ውስጥ ወዳለው ወደ ናሱ መሠዊያ ወጥቶ በላዩ ላይ አንድ ሺህ የሚቃጠል መሥዋዕት አቀረበ።
7በዚያ ሌሊት እግዚአብሔር ለሰሎሞን ተገልጦ፣ “እንድሰጥህ የምትፈልገውን ሁሉ ጠይቀኝ” አለው።
8ሰሎሞን እግዚአብሔርን እንዲህ አለው፤ “ለአባቴ ለዳዊት ታላቅ በጎነት አድርገህለታል፤ እኔንም በእግሩ ተክተህ አንግሠኸኛል። 9አሁንም እግዚአብሔር አምላክ ሆይ፤ ያነገሥኸኝ ብዛቱ እንደ ትቢያ በሆነ ሕዝብ ላይ ስለ ሆነ፣ ለአባቴ ለዳዊት የሰጠኸው ተስፋ ይጽና። 10ይህን ሕዝብ ለመምራት እንድችል፣ ጥበብና ዕውቀትን ስጠኝ፤ ይህ ካልሆነ ይህን ታላቅ ሕዝብህን ማን ሊገዛ ይችላል?”
11እግዚአብሔርም ሰሎሞንን እንዲህ አለው፤ “የልብህ መሻት ይህ ስለ ሆነ፣ ብልጥግናና ሀብት ወይም የጠላቶችህን ነፍስ ወይም ረጅም ዕድሜ ስላልጠየቅህ፣ ነገር ግን ባነገሥሁህ ሕዝቤ ላይ የምትገዛበትን ጥበብና ዕውቀት ስለ ጠየቅህ፣ 12ጥበብና ዕውቀት ይሰጥሃል፤ እንዲሁም ከአንተ በፊት የነበረ ማንኛውም ንጉሥ ያላገኘውን፣ ከአንተ በኋላም የሚነሣው የማያገኘውን ብልጽግና፣ ሀብትና ክብር እሰጥሃለሁ።”
13ሰሎሞንም የመገናኛው ድንኳን ካለበት ከገባዖን ኰረብታ ወደ ኢየሩሳሌም ተመለሰ፤ በእስራኤልም ላይ ነገሠ።
14ሰሎሞን ሠረገሎችንና1፥14 ወይም ሠረገለኞች ተብሎ መተርጒም ይቻላል። ፈረሶችን ሰበሰበ፤ እርሱም አንድ ሺህ አራት መቶ ሠረገሎችና ዐሥራ ሁለት ሺህ ፈረሶች ነበሩት፤ እነርሱንም በሠረገላ ከተሞችና እርሱ ባለበት በኢየሩሳሌም ከተማ አኖራቸው። 15ንጉሡም ወርቁና ብሩ በኢየሩሳሌም እንደ ተራ ድንጋይ እንዲበዛ፣ ዝግባውም በየኰረብታው ግርጌ እንደሚገኝ የሾላ ዛፍ እንዲበዛ አደረገ። 16የሰሎሞንም ፈረሶች የመጡት ከግብፅና1፥16 በዚህና በቍጥር 17 ላይ የተጠቀሰችው በኪልቂያ አውራጃ የምትገኘው ሙዙር ልትሆን ትችላለች። ከቀዌ ነበር፤ ከቀዌ1፥16 ምናልባት ኪልቂያ ናት። የገዟቸውም የንጉሡ ነጋዴዎች ነበሩ። 17ከግብፅ ያስገቧቸውም አንዱን ሠረገላ በስድስት መቶ ሰቅል1፥17 7 ኪሎ ግራም ያህል ነው። ብር፣ አንዱን ፈረስ በአንድ መቶ አምሳ ሰቅል1፥17 1.7 ኪሎ ግራም ነው። ብር ገዝተው ነው። እነዚህንም ደግሞ ለኬጢያዊያንና ለሦርያውያን ነገሥታት ሁሉ ይሸጡላቸው ነበር።

Isus opominje vjerske poglavare
(Mk 12:38-39; Lk 11:39-52; 20:45-46)
1Tada Isus reče mnoštvu i svojim učenicima: 2“Pismoznanci i farizeji službeni su tumači Svetoga pisma.23:2 U grčkome: su zasjeli na Mojsijevu stolicu. 3Zato činite i slušajte sve što vam kažu, ali nemojte slijediti njihov primjer jer oni sami ne čine ono što druge poučavaju. 4Tlače vas teškim teretom vjerskih zahtjeva, a ni prstom ne žele maknuti da vam taj teret pomognu nositi.
5Sve što čine, čine zato da ih ljudi vide. Trude se da ono što na sebi nose u znak pobožnosti—kutijice sa stihovima iz Svetoga pisma na čelu ili oko ruke te rese na odjeći—bude što veće i što duže. 6Na gozbama vole sjediti na pročelju stola, a u sinagogama na počasnome mjestu. 7Godi im kad ih ljudi pozdravljaju na javnim mjestima i kad ih zovu ‘Učitelju’.23:7 U grčkome: Rabbi.
8Vi nikome nemojte dopustiti da vas zove učiteljem jer imate samo jednoga učitelja, a svi ste vi ravnopravna braća i sestre.23:8 U grčkome: svi ste vi braća. 9I ne zovite nikoga ovdje na zemlji Ocem jer imate samo jednoga Oca—onoga na nebesima. 10I ne dajte da vas tko naziva vođom jer imate samo jednoga vođu: Krista. 11Tko je najveći među vama, neka vam bude sluga! 12Tko sebe uzvisuje, bit će ponižen, a ponizni će biti uzvišeni.
13Teško vama, pismoznanci i farizeji! Licemjeri! Zatvarate pred ljudima vrata u nebesko kraljevstvo. Sami ne ulazite u njega, a ne dopuštate da uđu ni oni koji bi htjeli.23:13 U nekim je rukopisima dodan i 14. stih: Teško vama, pismoznanci i farizeji! Bestidno lišavate udovice njihovih dobara, a prikrivate se dugim molitvama u javnosti. Zato ćete vam kazna biti veća.
15Teško vama, pismoznanci i farizeji! Licemjeri! Obilazite morem i kopnom da biste pridobili jednog sljedbenika, a kad vam postane sljedbenikom, učinite od njega sina paklenoga dvostruko gorega nego što ste i sami!
16Teško vama! Slijepi vođe! Tvrdite: ‘Zakune li se tko Hramom, to ne vrijedi. Ali zakune li se hramskim zlatom, onda ga zakletva obvezuje.’ 17Slijepe budale! Pa što je veće—zlato ili Hram koji posvećuje zlato? 18I još kažete: ‘Zakune li se tko žrtvenikom, to ne vrijedi. Ali zakune li se darom koji je na njemu, zakletva ga obvezuje.’ 19Slijepci! Što je veće? Žrtveni dar ili žrtvenik koji ga posvećuje? 20Tko se zakune žrtvenikom, kune se njime i svime što je na njemu. 21A tko se zakune Hramom, kune se njime i Onime koji u njemu prebiva. 22Tko se zakune nebom, kune se Božjim prijestoljem i Bogom koji na njemu sjedi.
23Teško vama, pismoznanci i farizeji! Licemjeri! Jer revno namirujete čak i desetinu metvice, i kopra, i kima, a zanemarujete ono najvažnije u Zakonu: pravednost, milosrđe i vjernost. Treba davati desetinu, ali ne smijete zanemarivati važnije stvari.23:23 U grčkome: Ovo je trebalo činiti, a ono ne propuštati. 24Slijepi vođe! Procjeđujete vodu da ne biste s njom popili i komarca, a kadri ste, ne opazivši, progutati i cijelu devu!
25Teško vama, pismoznanci i farizeji! Licemjeri! Toliko se trudite očistiti svoju čašu i zdjelu izvana, a napunili ste ih svojim grabežom i pohlepom. 26Slijepi farizeju! Očisti najprije ono što je u čaši, pa će i izvana biti čista.
27Teško vama, pismoznanci i farizeji! Vi ste poput obijeljenih grobova. Izvana izgledaju lijepo, a iznutra su prepuni mrtvačkih kostiju i svakojake prljavštine! 28Tako i vi ljudima izvana izgledate pravednima, a iznutra ste prepuni licemjerja i bezakonja.
29Teško vama, pismoznanci i farizeji! Licemjeri! Vi prorocima gradite grobnice i pravednicima kitite spomenike 30pa kažete: ‘Da smo živjeli u doba svojih otaca, ne bismo sudjelovali u prolijevanju proročke krvi.’ 31Tako sami protiv sebe svjedočite da ste sinovi onih koji su ubijali proroke. 32Dovršite, dakle, to što su oni započeli!23:32 U grčkome: Dopunite mjeru svojih otaca!
33Zmije! Leglo zmijsko! Kako ćete izbjeći osudi pakla? 34Šaljem vam, evo, proroke, mudrace i pismoznance. Neke ćete od njih ubiti i raspeti, druge bičevati po sinagogama i progoniti od grada do grada 35tako da na vas padne sva pravedna krv prolivena na zemlji, od krvi pravednog Abela pa do krvi Zaharije, sina Barahijina, kojega ste ubili između Hrama i žrtvenika. 36Zaista vam kažem, sva će ta krv pasti na ovaj naraštaj!”
Isus tuži nad Jeruzalemom
(Lk 13:34-35)
37“Jeruzaleme, Jeruzaleme, koji ubijaš proroke i kamenuješ Božje poslanike! Koliko sam puta htio okupiti tvoju djecu kao što kvočka skuplja piliće pod krila, ali niste htjeli! 38A sada će ti, eto, kuća biti napuštena. 39I kažem vam, nećete me više vidjeti sve dok ne uzviknete: ‘Blagoslovljen koji dolazi u ime Gospodnje!’”23:39 Vidjetii Psalam 118:26.

고통당하는 이스라엘 민족
1야곱과 함께 가족을 데리고 이집트로 내려간 야곱의 아들들은
2르우벤, 시므온, 레위, 유다,
3잇사갈, 스불론, 베냐민,
4단, 납달리, 갓, 아셀이었다.
5이와 같이 이집트에 내려온 야곱의 자손들은 모두 70명이었으며 이때 요셉은 이미 이집트에서 살고 있었다.
6이제 요셉과 그의 모든 형제들과 그 시대 사람들은 다 죽고 말았다.
7그러나 그들의 후손인 이스라엘 자손들은 많은 자녀를 낳고 크게 번성하여 1:7 또는 ‘온 땅’고센 땅을 가득 메울 만큼 막강하였다.
8그때 요셉을 알지 못하는 새 왕이 일어나 이집트를 다스렸는데
9그가 자기 백성들에게 이렇게 말하였다. “보라, 이스라엘 자손들이 그 수가 너무 많고 강하여 우리에게 위협이 되고 있다.
10이제 우리는 그들을 지혜롭게 잘 다스려야 한다. 그렇지 않으면 그들의 수가 더 많아져서 전쟁이 일어날 때 그들이 우리 적과 합세하여 우리를 치고 이 땅에서 달아날 것이다.”
11그래서 이집트 사람들은 그들을 노예로 삼아 그들을 다스릴 감독들을 세우고 강제 노동으로 그들을 괴롭혔으며 이스라엘 자손들은 바로를 위하여 국고성인 비돔과 라암셋을 건축하였다.
12그러나 그들이 학대를 받으면 받을수록 더 많이 번성하여 그 수가 늘어가자 이집트 사람들은 이스라엘 사람들을 두려워하여
13-14더욱 혹독한 일로 그들의 생활을 괴롭 히며 진흙을 이겨 벽돌을 굽게 하고 여러 가지 고된 농사일로 그들을 잔인하게 혹사시켰다.
15그리고 이집트 왕은 히브리 산파인 십브라와 부아에게
16“너희가 히브리 여자들을 조산할 때 남자 아이가 태어나면 죽이고 여자 아이가 태어나면 살려 두어라” 하고 명령하였다.
17그러나 그 산파들은 하나님을 두려워하여 이집트 왕의 명령을 어기고 남자 아이들을 살려 주었다.
18그때 이집트 왕이 그 산파들을 불러 “너희가 어째서 내 명령을 어기고 남자 아이들을 살려 주었느냐?” 하고 묻자
19그들이 이렇게 대답하였다. “히브리 여자들은 이집트 여자들과 같지 않고 건강하여 우리가 미처 그들에게 이르기도 전에 해산하였습니다.”
20-21그 산파들이 하나님을 두려워하였으므 로 하나님은 그들에게 은혜를 베풀어 그들 자신의 가정을 이룰 수 있게 하셨다. 그리고 이스라엘 사람들은 계속 번성하여 강력한 민족이 되었다.
22그러자 바로가 자기 백성들에게 이런 명령을 내렸다. “갓 태어난 히브리 남자 아이들을 모조리 강에 던지고 여자 아이들은 살려 주어라.”

Pozdravi od Petra
1Ovo je pismo od Petra, apostola Isusa Krista.
Pišem Božjim odabranicima koji žive kao tuđinci rasijani po Pontu, Galaciji, Kapadociji, Aziji i Bitiniji. 2Bog Otac odavno vas je odabrao, a Duh vas je posvetio. Zato ste poslušni Isusu Kristu i očišćeni ste njegovom krvlju.
Želim vam izobilje Božje milosti i mira.
Nada vječnog života
3Blagoslovljen neka je Bog, Otac našega Gospodina Isusa Krista, jer nam je u svojemu beskrajnome milosrđu dao da se nanovo rodimo. Sada živimo u nadi vječnoga života zato što je Isus Krist ustao od mrtvih. 4Jer Bog za svoju djecu u nebu čuva vječnu, neokaljanu i neuvelu baštinu. 5Bog će vas, zato što u njega vjerujete, svojom snagom sačuvati za spasenje koje će vam biti objavljeno u posljednje vrijeme. 6Zato se radujte čak i ako bude potrebno da vas ovdje nakratko i ražaloste različite kušnje. 7One samo kušaju vašu vjeru, dragocjeniju od propadljivog zlata—a i ono se u vatri kuša—da se njezina prokušanost pokaže na hvalu, slavu i čast na dan kad se objavi Isus Krist. 8Volite ga iako ga nikada niste vidjeli. Vjerujete u njega iako ga još ne možete vidjeti i puni ste neizrecive i proslavljene radosti 9jer postižete cilj svoje vjere: spasenje duše.
10To su spasenje proučavali i pronicali proroci pretkazujući milost koja vam je namijenjena. 11Ispitivali su na koje to vrijeme upućuje Kristov Duh u njima pretkazujući Kristovo trpljenje i proslavljenje. 12Objavljeno im je da nije riječ o njihovu, nego o vašemu vremenu. A danas vam propovjednici s pomoću Duha Svetoga, poslanoga s neba, naviještaju tu Radosnu vijest kojoj se i anđeli žele izbliza diviti.
Poziv na svetost
13Zato budite razboriti i trijezni. Potpuno se pouzdajte u milost koju će vam donijeti objavljenje Isusa Krista. 14Budite Bogu poslušni jer ste njegova djeca. Ne popuštajte starim grešnim požudama kao onda dok ste još bili u neznanju, 15nego budite u svemu sveti kao što je svet Bog koji vas je pozvao. 16On sam kaže u Svetome pismu: “Budite sveti jer sam ja svet!”
17Ocem nazivate Boga koji nepristrano sudi svakomu prema djelima. Proživite zato u strahu Gospodnjem taj život što ga živite na ovoj zemlji, u tuđini. 18Jer znate da je Bog platio otkupninu da vas spasi od ispraznoga života što ste ga naslijedili od svojih predaka. A nije ju platio propadljivim srebrom ili zlatom, 19nego dragocjenom krvlju Krista, nedužnoga Božjeg janjeta bez mane. 20Bog ga je, doduše, za to predodredio davno prije postanka svijeta, ali se očitovao tek u ova posljednja vremena, radi vas. 21Kroz Krista ste povjerovali u Boga koji ga je uskrisio od mrtvih i proslavio ga. Zato svoju vjeru i nadu možete položiti u Boga.
22Sada se možete iskreno međusobno voljeti kao braća i sestre jer su vam duše očišćene od grijeha i jer ste poslušni istini Radosne vijesti. Volite dakle žarko jedni druge 23jer ste nanovo rođeni—ne iz smrtnoga, već iz besmrtnog sjemena, kroz Riječ živoga Boga koja zauvijek traje. 24Jer
“svaki je čovjek poput trave
i njegova je ljepota poput poljskog cvijeta.
Trava će usahnuti i cvijet će uvenuti,
25ali Božja riječ ostat će zauvijek.”1:24-25 Izaija 40:6, 8.
A ta je Riječ Radosna vijest koju vam propovijedamo.

问候
1我是奉上帝旨意做基督耶稣使徒的保罗,与提摩太弟兄写信给在哥林多的上帝的教会以及亚该亚境内所有的圣徒.
2愿我们的父上帝和主耶稣基督赐给你们恩典和平安!
上帝的安慰
3我们主耶稣基督的父上帝当受赞美!祂是仁慈的父和赐一切安慰的上帝. 4我们遭遇任何患难,祂都安慰我们,使我们能够用祂给我们的安慰去安慰那些在各样患难中的人. 5正如我们多受基督所受的苦楚,也靠基督多得安慰. 6我们遭受患难,是为了使你们得到安慰和拯救;我们得到安慰,也是为了使你们得到安慰,以便你们能忍受像我们所遭遇的诸般苦难. 7我们对你们坚信不移,因为知道你们既和我们同受患难,也必和我们同得安慰.
8弟兄姊妹,希望你们知道我们在亚细亚所遭遇的苦难.那时我们承受极大的压力,超过了我们的极限,甚至连活命的指望都没了. 9我们心里觉得必死无疑,这使我们不倚靠自己,只倚靠使死人复活的上帝. 10祂曾救我们脱离死亡的威胁,将来还要救我们.我们深信祂必继续救我们. 11你们也要用祈祷帮助我们,使恩典借着许多人的祷告临到我们,众人便因此而为我们感恩.
保罗改变计划
12我们感到自豪的是:我们本着上帝所赐的圣洁和诚实为人处世,倚靠祂的恩典,不倚靠人的聪明才智,对待你们更是这样.这一点,我们的良心可以作证. 13-14我们不写任何你们读不懂,不明白的内容.你们现在对我们有几分认识,但我盼望你们最终完全认识到:当主耶稣再来的日子,你们将以我们为荣,正如我们将以你们为荣一样.
15我有这样的把握,所以早就计划去你们那里,使你们有两次蒙福的机会. 16我打算从你们那里去马其顿,再从马其顿回到你们那里,然后你们为我送行前往犹太. 17我定了这计划,难道会反复无常吗?难道我是意气用事,出尔反尔吗? 18我在信实的上帝面前保证:我们对你们说的话绝不会忽是忽非! 19我和西拉,提摩太在你们当中所传扬的那位上帝的儿子耶稣基督绝不会忽是忽非,在祂只有“是”. 20因为上帝的一切应许在基督里都是确实的,所以我们也是借着基督说“阿们1:20 “阿们”是“诚然如此”的意思.”,将荣耀归于上帝. 21是上帝使我们和你们一同在基督里信心坚固.祂差遣1:21 “差遣”希腊文是“膏立”.了我们, 22在我们身上盖了祂自己的印记,并让圣灵住在我们心中作担保.
23我求上帝为我作证:我没有去哥林多,是为了宽容你们. 24我们并不是要操纵你们的信仰,而是要帮助你们,使你们喜乐,因为你们在信仰上已经站稳了.

亚哈随鲁王大宴群臣
1亚哈随鲁在位期间,统治从印度到古实的一百二十七个省. 2亚哈随鲁王在书珊城登基, 3他在执政第三年大宴群臣,波斯和玛代的将领,各省的贵族和大臣都在场. 4整整一百八十天,他展示自己帝国的财富和王权的威荣. 5之后,他又一连七天在御花园宴请书珊城里所有的居民,无论尊卑. 6御花园里有白色的棉帐和蓝色的彩帐,用细麻绳和紫色绳系在大理石柱的银环上.有金银制成的床榻摆在各色斑岩,大理石,珍珠贝壳及其他贵重石头铺成的地上. 7饮酒用的是各式各样的金器皿,御酒大量供应,足显王的慷慨. 8喝酒有个规矩,不许勉强人,因为王吩咐过宫里所有的侍从,招待各人要随其所愿. 9瓦实提王后也在亚哈随鲁王的宫里设宴招待女宾.
瓦实提王后被废
10第七天,亚哈随鲁王喝得心中畅快,就吩咐在王身边服侍的米户幔,比斯他,哈波拿,比革他,亚拔他,西达和甲迦七位太监, 11去请瓦实提王后戴着后冠到王面前,向百姓和官员展现她的美貌,因为她非常美丽. 12但瓦实提王后违抗太监所传的谕旨,拒绝前来,王非常生气,怒火中烧.
13王有事习惯征求通晓律例和法则之人的意见,于是他去问精通时务的哲士. 14那时,靠近王的有甲示拿,示达,押玛他,他施斯,米力,玛西拿和米姆干七位波斯和玛代的大臣,他们常见王的面,在国中身居高位. 15王问他们:“瓦实提王后违抗太监所传的谕旨,按律该如何处置她?”
16米姆干当着王和大臣们的面说:“瓦实提王后不但冒犯了王,而且有害于举国的臣民. 17因为王后的事必传到所有妇女的耳中,致使她们藐视自己的丈夫,因为她们会说,‘亚哈随鲁王请瓦实提王后到他面前,她却不去.’ 18今天,波斯和玛代的贵妇听到王后这事,也会如此对待王的大臣,藐视和恼怒之事必层出不穷. 19王若愿意,就请降旨不准瓦实提再到王面前,把她王后的位分赐给比她更好的女子,并将此谕旨写入波斯和玛代的律法,永不更改. 20王的谕旨传遍王辽阔的国境后,所有的妇女,无论丈夫贵贱,都必尊重他们.”
21王和大臣们都赞同米姆干的建议,王便依照他的建议, 22用各省的文字和各族的语言写谕旨,通告各省,丈夫要做一家之主,说话有权柄.

Esther wird Königin von Persien
(Kapitel 1–2)
Xerxes zeigt seine königliche Macht
1Zu der Zeit, als Xerxes König von Persien war, gehörten zu seinem Reich 127 Provinzen; sein Herrschaftsgebiet erstreckte sich von Indien bis nach Äthiopien. 2Er regierte von der Residenz Susa aus. 3In seinem 3. Regierungsjahr gab er ein rauschendes Fest für seine hohen Beamten und Würdenträger. Eingeladen waren die Heerführer von Persien und Medien, der Hofadel und die Statthalter der Provinzen. 4Sechs Monate lang stellte Xerxes die unvergleichliche Pracht seines Königreichs und seine große Macht zur Schau.
5Danach lud der König auch die Bewohner der Residenz Susa zu einem Fest. Alle, vom Vornehmsten bis zum Einfachsten, feierten sieben Tage lang im Hof des Palastgartens. 6Zwischen Marmorsäulen hingen weiße und violette Vorhänge aus wertvollen Baumwollstoffen und Leinen, befestigt mit weißen und purpurroten Schnüren und silbernen Ringen. Die Gäste lagen auf Kissen, die mit goldenem und silbernem Brokatstoff überzogen waren. Der Boden des Hofes bestand aus einem Mosaik von bunten, kostbaren Marmorsteinen und Perlmutt. 7Man trank aus goldenen Gefäßen, von denen keines dem anderen glich. Der König ließ edlen Wein in Hülle und Fülle ausschenken. 8Jeder konnte trinken, so viel er wollte. Denn der König hatte angeordnet, dass seine Diener sich ganz nach den Wünschen der Gäste richten sollten.
Königin Wasti wird verstoßen
9Königin Wasti gab im Inneren des Palasts ein Fest für die Frauen. 10Am siebten Tag des Festes, als der König vom Wein angeheitert war, rief er die sieben Eunuchen zu sich, die ihn persönlich bedienten: Mehuman, Biseta, Harbona, Bigta, Abagta, Setar und Karkas. 11Er befahl ihnen, die Königin zu holen, geschmückt mit dem königlichen Diadem. Denn er wollte seinen obersten Beamten und allen Gästen zeigen, wie wunderschön sie war. 12Doch Königin Wasti weigerte sich, der Aufforderung des Königs zu folgen.
Da packte den König der Zorn. 13Er beriet sich sofort mit dem Rat der Weisen. Es waren geschichtskundige Männer und Rechtsgelehrte, die dem König bei allen Entscheidungen zur Seite standen. 14Sie hießen Karschena, Schetar, Admata, Tarsis, Meres, Marsena und Memuchan. Diese sieben Fürsten aus den Völkern der Meder und Perser waren die Vertrauten des Königs. Sie durften jederzeit zu ihm und nahmen nach ihm den ersten Rang im Königreich ein. 15»Was soll nach dem Gesetz mit Königin Wasti geschehen?«, fragte Xerxes. »Sie hat sich meinem Befehl widersetzt, den ihr meine Eunuchen überbracht haben.«
16Memuchan antwortete: »Königin Wasti ist nicht nur am König schuldig geworden, sondern auch an seinen Fürsten und am ganzen Volk in allen Provinzen des Reiches. 17Was sie getan hat, wird bei allen Frauen bekannt werden. Sie werden ihre Männer verachten und sagen: ›König Xerxes hat Königin Wasti befohlen, vor ihm zu erscheinen; aber sie kam einfach nicht!‹ 18Noch heute werden sich die Frauen der Fürsten von Persien und Medien ihren Männern gegenüber genauso respektlos verhalten, sobald sie erfahren, was die Königin getan hat. Das wird viel böses Blut geben! 19Wenn es dem König gefällt, möge er in einem Erlass verkünden, dass Königin Wasti nie mehr zu ihm kommen darf. Dieser Befehl muss Teil der Gesetze der Meder und Perser werden, damit er nicht mehr rückgängig gemacht werden kann. Der König sollte eine andere Frau zur Königin erwählen, die sich dafür als würdig erweist. 20Wenn man diesen Erlass im ganzen Reich bekannt gibt, werden alle Frauen ihre Männer achten, in den einfachen wie in den vornehmen Familien.«
21Dieser Vorschlag gefiel dem König und seinen Fürsten. Wie Memuchan geraten hatte, 22schickte Xerxes einen Erlass in alle Provinzen seines Reiches. Jede Volksgruppe erhielt das Schreiben in ihrer eigenen Schrift und Sprache. So wollte der König dafür sorgen, dass jeder Mann in seinem Haus das Sagen hatte. Außerdem ordnete er an, in jeder Familie solle die Sprache des Mannes gesprochen werden.
