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.
Guyyaa sadaffaatti Asteer uffata ishee kan mootummaa uffatee dhaqxee oobdii masaraa mootichaa kan gara keessaa irra fuula galma mootichaa dura dhaabatte. Mootichi immoo galma sana keessa gara balbalaatti garagalee teessoo mootummaa isaa irra taaʼee ture.
2 Yathi ibona iNdlovukazi u-Esta imi enkundleni, yathokoza ngaye, yasiselula intonga yayo yegolide eyayisesandleni sayo, yamkhomba ngayo. U-Esta wasesondela wathinta isihloko sentonga.
Mootichis utuu Asteer Mootittiin oobdii keessa dhaabachaa jirtuu argee isheetti gammadee bokkuu warqee kan harkatti qabatee ture sana isheef diriirse. Kanaafuu Asteer itti dhiʼaattee fiixee bokkuu sanaa tuqxe.
3 Inkosi yasibuza yathi, “Kutheni Ndlovukazi Esta? Siyini isicelo sakho na? Uzanikwa loba yini, okungafika kungxenye yombuso.”
Mootichi, “Yaa Asteer Mootittii maal siif godhu? Maal barbaadda? Walakkaa mootummaa koo illee taanaan siif ni kennama” jedheen.
4 U-Esta wathi, “Nxa inkosi ithokoza ngalokhu, bengicela ukuthi inkosi kanye loHamani beze lamhla edilini engililungisele yona.”
Asteeris, “Yoo wanni kun mooticha gammachiise, mootichi gara cidha ani isaaf qopheesse sanaa Haamaan wajjin harʼa haa dhufu” jettee deebifteef.
5 Inkosi yathi, “UHamani keze khathesi, ukuze kwenziwe okucelwa ngu-Esta.” Inkosi loHamani baya edilini elalilungiswe ngu-Esta.
Mootichis, “Akka waan Asteer jette sana goonuuf dafaatii Hamaa fidaa” jedhe. Kanaafuu mootichii fi Haamaan gara cidha Asteer qopheessite sanaa dhaqan.
6 Kwathi besanatha iwayini, inkosi yambuza njalo u-Esta yathi, “Siyini isicelo sakho? Uzakukwamukeliswa. Kuyini okucelayo na? Uzanikwa loba yini okungafika kungxenye yombuso.”
Utuma daadhii wayinii dhuganuu mootichi amma illee akkana jedhee Asteerin gaafate; “Mee wanni ati kadhattu maal? Wanni sun siif kennama. Gaaffiin kee maali? Walakkaa mootummaa koo illee taanaan siif kennama.”
7 U-Esta waphendula wathi, “Isikhalazo sami lesicelo sami yilokhu:
Asteeris akkana jettee deebifteef; “Wanni ani kadhadhuu fi gaaffiin koo kanaa dha:
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.”
Yoo ani fuula mootichaa duratti surraa argadhee mootichis kadhannaa koo fudhatee waan ani isa gaafadhe naaf guutuun isa gammachiise, mootichii fi Haamaan cidha ani isaaniif qopheessu irratti bor haa argaman. Ani ergasii gaaffii mootichaa nan deebisa.”
9 UHamani wasuka lapho mhlalokho ethabe kakhulukazi. Kodwa uthe ebona uModekhayi esesangweni lenkosi wananzelela ukuthi kamsukumeli loba ukutshengisa ukwesaba phambi kwakhe, wagcwalelana ngokumthukuthelela uModekhayi.
Gaafas Haamaan gammadee itti tolee gad baʼe. Inni garuu karra mootichaa duratti Mordekaayiin argee yommuu akka inni isaaf hin kaʼin yookaan isa hin sodaatin hubatetti Mordekaayiitti akka malee aare.
10 Kodwa wazibamba waya emzini wakhe, wabiza abangane bakhe ndawonye kanye loZereshi umkakhe,
Taʼu illee Haamaan of qabee mana isaatti gale. Ergasiis michoota isaatii fi niitii isaa Zeresh walitti qabe;
11 uHamani wasezincoma kubo ngenotho yakhe enengi, langamadodana akhe amanengi, kanye lazozonke izindlela inkosi eyayimhlonipha ngazo lokuthi imphakamise yambeka phezu kwezinye izikhulu leziphathamandla.
Haamaanis qabeenya isaa guddaa sanaan, ilmaan isaa hedduu sanaan akkasumas ulfina mootichi isaaf kenne hundaa fi akkaataa itti mootichi qondaaltota isaatii fi tajaajiltoota isaa kaanii olitti isa guddiseen isaanitti of jaje.
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.
Haamaan itti fufee akkana jedhe; “Kana qofa miti; namni Asteer Mootittiin akka mooticha wajjin gara cidha qopheessite sanaa dhufu waamte anuma qofa. Boris akkasuma mooticha wajjin na affeerteerti.
13 Kodwa konke lokhu akungisuthisi ikakhulu nxa ngilokhu ngibona umJuda loya onguModekhayi ehlezi esangweni lenkosi.”
Taʼus wanni kun hundinuu utuu ani Mordekaayi Yihuudicha isaa karra mootichaa dura taaʼu arguu na hin gammachiisu.”
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.
Niitiin isaa Zeresh fi michoonni isaa hundinuu, “Muka itti nama fannisan kan dhundhuma shantama ol dheeratu dhaabiitii akka Mordekaayi bor ganama irratti fannifamu mooticha gaafadhu. Ergasiis mooticha wajjin gara cidha sanaa dhaqii gammadi” jedhaniin. Yaadni kun Haamaanin gammachiise; innis muka sana dhaabe.
