U-Esta 5
1 Ngelanga lesithathu u-Esta wagqoka izembatho zakhe zobukhosi wema enkundleni engaphakathi kwesigodlo phambi kwendlu yenkosi. Inkosi yayihlezi esihlalweni sayo sobukhosi endlini yayo, ikhangele emnyango.
Ie amy andro fahateloy, le naombe’ i Estere o sarom-panjaka’eo, le nijohañe an-kiririsa añate’ i anjombam-panjakay, tandrife i anjombam-panjakay; niambesatse amy fiambesam-panjakay amy anjombam-panjakay i mpanjakay, tandrife ty fizilihañe amy anjombay.
2 Yathi ibona iNdlovukazi u-Esta imi enkundleni, yathokoza ngaye, yasiselula intonga yayo yegolide eyayisesandleni sayo, yamkhomba ngayo. U-Esta wasesondela wathinta isihloko sentonga.
Aa ie niisa’ i mpanjakay te nijohañe an-kiririsa ao t’i Estere, mpanjaka-ampela, le nanjo fañisohañe am-pihaino’e; vaho nahiti’ i mpanjakay ama’e i kobaim-bolamena am-pità’ey, Aa le nañarine aze t’i Estere nitsapa ty loha’ i kobaiñey.
3 Inkosi yasibuza yathi, “Kutheni Ndlovukazi Esta? Siyini isicelo sakho na? Uzanikwa loba yini, okungafika kungxenye yombuso.”
Le nanoa’ i mpanjakay ty hoe: Ino ty ama’o ry Estere, mpanjaka-ampela? fa ndra inoñ’ ino ty ihalalia’o pak’ an-tsasa i fifeheakoy, le hatoloko.
4 U-Esta wathi, “Nxa inkosi ithokoza ngalokhu, bengicela ukuthi inkosi kanye loHamani beze lamhla edilini engililungisele yona.”
Le hoe t’i Estere: Naho atao’ i mpanjakay te soa, le ehe te homb’ an-takataka hinalankako ho aze i mpanjakay naho i Hamane te anito.
5 Inkosi yathi, “UHamani keze khathesi, ukuze kwenziwe okucelwa ngu-Esta.” Inkosi loHamani baya edilini elalilungiswe ngu-Esta.
Aa le hoe i mpanjakay, Taentaeno t’i Hamane, hahahenefañe i saontsi’ i Esterey. Aa le nimb’ amy takataka nihajarie’ i Esterey i mpanjakay naho i Hamane.
6 Kwathi besanatha iwayini, inkosi yambuza njalo u-Esta yathi, “Siyini isicelo sakho? Uzakukwamukeliswa. Kuyini okucelayo na? Uzanikwa loba yini okungafika kungxenye yombuso.”
Le hoe i mpanjakay amy Estere ami’ty fanjotsoañe divay, Ndra inoñe ty ihalalia’o, le hatolotse azo; ndra ino ty hàta’o, ampara’ ty vakim-pifeheako, le hanoeñe.
7 U-Esta waphendula wathi, “Isikhalazo sami lesicelo sami yilokhu:
Le hoe ty natoi’ i Estere: Ty irieko naho ty halaliko—
8 Nxa inkosi ingamukela ngomusa njalo nxa inkosi ithokoza ngokwamukela isikhalazo sami njalo igcwalise isicelo sami, bengicela ukuthi inkosi kanye loHamani kusasa beze edilini engizabalungisela lona. Kulapho engizaphendula okubuzwe yinkosi.”
naho nanjo fañisohañe am-pahaisaha’ i mpanjakay, lehe no’ i mpanjakay ty hanolotse i hatakoy, hanao i halalikoy—le ehe te hiheo mb’ an-tsabadidake hanoeko ho a iareo i mpanjakay naho i Hamane fa hanoeko hamaray i nisaontsiam-panjakay.
9 UHamani wasuka lapho mhlalokho ethabe kakhulukazi. Kodwa uthe ebona uModekhayi esesangweni lenkosi wananzelela ukuthi kamsukumeli loba ukutshengisa ukwesaba phambi kwakhe, wagcwalelana ngokumthukuthelela uModekhayi.
Niavotse an-kafaleañe naho finembanembañan-troke t’i Hamane amy àndro zay, fa ie niisa’e t’i Mordekay an-dalambei’ i mpanjakay, ie tsy niongake, tsy nititititike, le nilifo-piforoforoañe amy Mordekay.
10 Kodwa wazibamba waya emzini wakhe, wabiza abangane bakhe ndawonye kanye loZereshi umkakhe,
Fe nilie-batañe t’i Hamane, nimpoly mb’añanjomba’e añe vaho nampañitrife’e o rañe’eo naho i Zerese vali’e;
11 uHamani wasezincoma kubo ngenotho yakhe enengi, langamadodana akhe amanengi, kanye lazozonke izindlela inkosi eyayimhlonipha ngazo lokuthi imphakamise yambeka phezu kwezinye izikhulu leziphathamandla.
naho nisengea’ i Hamane ty enge’ o vara’eo, ty hatsifotofoto’ o ana’eo naho ty nampañonjone’ i mpanjakay ama’e iaby vaho ty nampiongaha’e ambone’ o roandria naho mpitoro’ i mpanjakaio.
12 UHamani wengeza wathi, “Njalo akusikho kodwa lokhu. Yimi ngedwa zwi umuntu omenywe yiNdlovukazi u-Esta ukuba ngiphelekezele inkosi edilini elenzileyo. Njalo usenginxusile kanye lenkosi kusasa.
Le natovo’ i Hamane ty hoe: Eka, tsy eo ty napò’ i Estere hitrao-pimoak’ amy mpanjakay mb’ amy takataka hinalanka’ey naho tsy zaho; vaho nambarà’e ka ho ami’ty maray mindre amy mpanjakay.
13 Kodwa konke lokhu akungisuthisi ikakhulu nxa ngilokhu ngibona umJuda loya onguModekhayi ehlezi esangweni lenkosi.”
Fe tsy mahaeneñe ahy i hoe zay iabiy naho mbe treako mitozòke an-dalambeim-panjaka eo t’i Mordekay nte-Iehoda.
14 Umkakhe uZereshi kanye labangane bakhe bonke bathi kuye, “Yenza indawo yokulengisa abantu, ibe zingalo ezingamatshumi ayisikhombisa lanhlanu ubude, ubusucela inkosi ekuseni ukuba ilengise uModekhayi lapho. Ube usuziyela edilini uchelesile.” Umcabango lo wamthokozisa kakhulu uHamani, yasisakhiwa indawo yokulengisa.
Aa le hoe t’i Zerese tañanjomba’e naho o rañe’e iabio ama’e: Ampitroareñe rafi-piradoradoañe, limampolo kiho ty haabo’e; aa ie maraindray, misaontsia amy mpanjakay te haradorado ama’e t’i Mordekay; vaho mihovà an-kazavan’ arofo mindre amy mpanjakay mb’an-takataka mb’eo. Ninò’ i Hamane i hoe zay, le nampandrafete’e i fampiradoradoañey.
