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.
Üqinqi küni Əstǝr xaⱨanǝ kiyimlirini kiyip, ordining iqkiriki ⱨoylisiƣa kirip, padixaⱨning ɵylirining udulida turdi; padixaⱨ bolsa ɵz xaⱨanǝ ɵyidiki tǝhtidǝ, ɵydin dǝrwaziƣa ⱪarap olturatti.
2 Yathi ibona iNdlovukazi u-Esta imi enkundleni, yathokoza ngaye, yasiselula intonga yayo yegolide eyayisesandleni sayo, yamkhomba ngayo. U-Esta wasesondela wathinta isihloko sentonga.
Padixaⱨ hanix Əstǝrning ⱨoylida turƣinini kɵrdi; hanix uning nǝziridǝ iltipat tapⱪaq, u ⱪolidiki altun ⱨasisini uningƣa tǝnglidi. Əstǝr aldiƣa kelip xaⱨanǝ ⱨasining uqiƣa ⱪolini tǝgküzdi.
3 Inkosi yasibuza yathi, “Kutheni Ndlovukazi Esta? Siyini isicelo sakho na? Uzanikwa loba yini, okungafika kungxenye yombuso.”
Padixaⱨ uningdin: — I hanixim Əstǝr, birǝr ixing barmidi? Nemǝ tǝliping bar? Ⱨǝtta padixaⱨliⱪimning yerimini tǝlǝp ⱪilsangmu xu sanga berilidu, dedi.
4 U-Esta wathi, “Nxa inkosi ithokoza ngalokhu, bengicela ukuthi inkosi kanye loHamani beze lamhla edilini engililungisele yona.”
— Əgǝr aliyliriƣa layiⱪ kɵrünsǝ, padixaⱨimning Ⱨamanni elip ɵzlirigǝ tǝyyarliƣan ziyapitimgǝ dahil bolup ⱪǝdǝm tǝxrip ⱪilixlirini ɵtünimǝn, — dedi Əstǝr.
5 Inkosi yathi, “UHamani keze khathesi, ukuze kwenziwe okucelwa ngu-Esta.” Inkosi loHamani baya edilini elalilungiswe ngu-Esta.
Padixaⱨ: — Tez berip Ⱨamanni ⱪiqⱪirip kelinglar, Əstǝrning deginidǝk ⱪilinsun, — dedi. Xuning bilǝn padixaⱨ Ⱨamanni elip Əstǝr tǝyyarliƣan ziyapǝtkǝ bardi.
6 Kwathi besanatha iwayini, inkosi yambuza njalo u-Esta yathi, “Siyini isicelo sakho? Uzakukwamukeliswa. Kuyini okucelayo na? Uzanikwa loba yini okungafika kungxenye yombuso.”
Dastihan üstidǝ xarab iqiliwatⱪanda padixaⱨ Əstǝrgǝ: — Nemǝ tǝliping bar? U sanga berilidu; nemǝ iltijaying bar? Ⱨǝtta padixaⱨliⱪimning yerimini tǝlǝp ⱪilsangmu xundaⱪ ⱪilinidu, dedi.
7 U-Esta waphendula wathi, “Isikhalazo sami lesicelo sami yilokhu:
Əstǝr uningƣa jawab berip: — Mening tǝlipim wǝ iltijayim bolsa, —
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.”
Mubada mǝn aliylirining nǝziridǝ iltipatⱪa erixkǝn bolsam, xundaⱪla padixaⱨimƣa mening tǝlimni ijabǝt ⱪilix ⱨǝm iltijayimni orundax muwapiⱪ kɵrünsǝ, aliylirining Ⱨamanni birgǝ elip ǝtǝ silǝrgǝ tǝyyarlaydiƣan ziyapitimgǝ yǝnǝ bir ⱪetim dahil boluxlirini ɵtünimǝn; ǝtǝ mǝn qoⱪum padixaⱨimning ǝmri boyiqǝ ix ⱪilimǝn, — dedi.
9 UHamani wasuka lapho mhlalokho ethabe kakhulukazi. Kodwa uthe ebona uModekhayi esesangweni lenkosi wananzelela ukuthi kamsukumeli loba ukutshengisa ukwesaba phambi kwakhe, wagcwalelana ngokumthukuthelela uModekhayi.
Xu küni Ⱨaman kɵnglidǝ yayrap, huxal-huram ⱪaytip qiⱪti; lekin Mordikayning orda dǝrwazisida uning aldida nǝ ornidin ⱪopmay nǝ midirlimay olturƣanliⱪini kɵrgǝndǝ, kɵngli uningƣa ⱪattiⱪ ⱪǝⱨr-ƣǝzǝpkǝ toldi.
10 Kodwa wazibamba waya emzini wakhe, wabiza abangane bakhe ndawonye kanye loZereshi umkakhe,
Lekin Ⱨaman ƣǝzipini besiwelip, ɵyigǝ kǝldi-dǝ, dost-aƣinilirini wǝ hotuni Zǝrǝxni qaⱪirtip,
11 uHamani wasezincoma kubo ngenotho yakhe enengi, langamadodana akhe amanengi, kanye lazozonke izindlela inkosi eyayimhlonipha ngazo lokuthi imphakamise yambeka phezu kwezinye izikhulu leziphathamandla.
ɵzining bayliⱪlirining xan-xǝripi, pǝrzǝntlirining kɵplüki, xundaⱪla padixaⱨning ɵzini ⱪandaⱪ ɵstürüp barliⱪ ⱨɵrmǝt-izzǝtkǝ sazawǝr ⱪilƣanliⱪi, ɵzini ⱪandaⱪ ⱪilip padixaⱨning ⱨǝmmǝ ǝmirliri wǝ ǝmǝldarliridin üstün mǝrtiwigǝ igǝ ⱪilƣanliⱪi toƣrisida bir-birlǝp sɵzlǝp kǝtti.
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.
Ⱨaman yǝnǝ: — Silǝrgǝ desǝm, hanix Əstǝr meningdin baxⱪa meⱨman qillimay, pǝⱪǝt padixaⱨ bilǝn ikkimiznila ɵzi tǝyyarliƣan ziyapǝtkǝ qilliƣanidi, ǝtimu meni padixaⱨ bilǝn billǝ ɵzi [tǝyyarlǝydiƣan ziyapǝtkǝ] qillidi.
13 Kodwa konke lokhu akungisuthisi ikakhulu nxa ngilokhu ngibona umJuda loya onguModekhayi ehlezi esangweni lenkosi.”
Xuƣinisi, orda dǝrwazisida olturƣan ⱨeliⱪi Mordikay degǝn Yǝⱨudiyni kɵrginimdǝ, bularning ⱨǝmmisi manga tolimu mǝnisiz tuyulidu, dedi.
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.
Andin ayali Zǝrǝx wǝ barliⱪ dost-aƣiniliri uningƣa jawab berip: — Əllik gǝz egizliktiki dardin birni tǝyyarlap, ǝtǝ ǝtigǝndǝ padixaⱨtin Mordikayni darƣa esixni tǝlǝp ⱪilsila bolmidimu, xuningdin keyin huxal yayriƣan ⱨalda padixaⱨ bilǝn billǝ ziyapǝtkǝ baridila, deyixti. Bu gǝp Ⱨamanni hux ⱪiliwǝtti, xuning bilǝn u dar yasitip ⱪoydi.
