1 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio mũthamaki na Hamani magĩthiĩ kũrĩanĩra na Esiteri, mũtumia wa mũthamaki,
Ko ia naʻe haʻu ai ʻae tuʻi mo Hamani ki he kātoanga mo Eseta ko e tuʻi fefine.
2 rĩrĩa maanyuuaga ndibei mũthenya ũcio wa keerĩ, mũthamaki akĩũria Esiteri o rĩngĩ atĩrĩ, “Esiteri, mũtumia wa mũthamaki, ihooya rĩaku nĩ rĩrĩkũ? Nĩũkũhingĩrio. Na nĩ kĩĩ ũrooria ũheo? O na wahooya nuthu ya kũrĩa guothe thamakaga, nĩũkũheo.”
Pea naʻe toe lea ʻae tuʻi kia Eseta ʻi hono ua ʻoe ʻaho ʻi he kātoanga inu uaine, “Ko e hā hoʻo kole ʻe tuʻi fefine ko Eseta? Pea ʻe tuku ia kiate koe: pea ko e hā ia ʻa hoʻo kole? Pea ʻe fai ia ʻo aʻu ki hono vahe ua ʻoe puleʻanga.”
3 Nake Esiteri mũtumia wa mũthamaki akĩmũcookeria atĩrĩ, “Ingĩkorwo nĩnjĩtĩkĩrĩkĩte nĩwe, wee mũthamaki, na mũthamaki angĩona kwagĩrĩire-rĩ, ndahooya ndekwo ndũũre muoyo, rĩu nĩrĩo ihooya rĩakwa. Ningĩ ndahooya atĩ andũ akwa marekwo matũũre muoyo.
Pea lea ai ʻa Eseta ko e tuʻi fefine, ʻo ne pehē, “Kapau kuo u maʻu ʻae ʻofa ʻi ho ʻao, ʻE tuʻi, pea kapau ʻoku lelei ki he tuʻi, ke foaki ʻeku moʻui kiate au ʻi heʻeku kole, mo hoku kakai ʻi heʻeku tala:
4 Nĩ ũndũ niĩ na andũ akwa nĩtwendetio tũniinwo, na tũũragwo na tũhukio. Atĩrĩrĩ, korwo no kwendio twendetio tũgatuĩke ngombo cia arũme, na cia andũ-a-nja, niĩ nĩingĩrakirire tondũ thĩĩna ta ũcio ti mũiganu wa gũthĩĩnia mũthamaki.”
He kuo fakatau ʻakimautolu, Ko au mo hoku kakai, ke maumauʻi, mo tāmateʻi, pea ke fakaʻauha. Pea ka ne fakatau ʻakimautolu ke hoko ko e kau tangata pōpula, mo e kau fefine pōpula, pehē, te u longo pe au, ka ko e moʻoni ʻe ʻikai mafai ʻe he fili ke totongi hono kovi ki he tuʻi.”
5 Mũthamaki Ahasuerusu akĩũria Esiteri mũtumia wa mũthamaki atĩrĩ, “Mũndũ ũrĩa ũngĩgeria gwĩka ũndũ ta ũcio-rĩ, nũũ hihi? Arĩ ha?”
Pea naʻe lea ai ʻae tuʻi ko ʻAhasivelo kia Eseta ko e tuʻi fefine ʻo pehē, “Ko hai ia, pea kofaʻā ia, ʻaia naʻe fielahi ʻi hono loto ke fai pehē?”
6 Esiteri akiuga atĩrĩ, “Mũtũthũũri na thũ iitũ nĩ Hamani ũyũ mwaganu.” Hamani akĩnyiitwo nĩ kĩmako kĩnene arĩ hau mbere ya mũthamaki o na mũtumia wake.
Pea naʻe pehē ʻe Eseta, “Ko e tangata angatuʻu mo e fili, ko Hamani angakovi ni.” Pea naʻe toki manavahē ʻa Hamani ʻi he ʻao ʻoe tuʻi mo e tuʻi fefine.
7 Nake mũthamaki agĩũkĩra arakarĩte mũno, agĩtiga kũnyua ndibei yake, agĩthiĩ nakũu mũgũnda-inĩ ũcio wa nyũmba ya ũthamaki. Nake Hamani amenya atĩ mũthamaki nĩarĩkĩtie gũtua ciira wake, agĩtigwo na thuutha ethaithanĩrĩre harĩ Esiteri mũtumia wa mũthamaki nĩguo ndakooragwo.
Pea naʻe tuʻu hake ʻae tuʻi ʻi heʻene tuputāmaki lahi mei he kātoanga uaine, pea ʻalu kituʻa ia ki he ngoue ʻoe fale; pea naʻe tuʻu hake ʻa Hamani ke fai ʻae kole koeʻuhi ko ʻene moʻui kia Eseta ko e tuʻi fefine; he naʻe mamata ia kuo tuʻutuʻuni ʻae kovi ke hoko kiate ia mei he tuʻi.
8 Na rĩrĩa mũthamaki aacookaga nyũmba ya iruga kuuma mũgũnda-inĩ ũcio wa nyũmba ya ũthamaki, Hamani nake noguo aakorirwo akĩĩgũithia gĩtĩ-inĩ harĩa Esiteri aaikairĩte. Nake mũthamaki akĩgũthũka, akĩũria atĩrĩ, “Kaĩ angĩnyiita mũtumia wa mũthamaki na hinya o na tũrĩ nake gũkũ nyũmba?” Mũthamaki akĩrĩkia kuuga ũguo, makĩhumbĩra Hamani ũthiũ.
Pea naʻe liu mai ʻae tuʻi mei he ngoue ʻoe fale, ki he potu ʻoe kātoanga uaine: pea kuo tō ʻa Hamani ki he tokotoʻanga ʻaia naʻe ʻi ai ʻa Eseta. Pea pehē ʻe he tuʻi, “Pea ʻe tohotoho ʻe ia ʻae tuʻi fefine foki ʻi he fale ʻi hoku ʻao?” Pea ʻi he ʻalu ʻae lea mei he fofonga ʻoe tuʻi, naʻa nau ʻufiʻufi ʻae mata ʻo Hamani.
9 Nake Haribona, ndungata ĩmwe ya iria hakũre, arĩa maatungatagĩra mũthamaki, akiuga atĩrĩ, “Mũtĩ wa gũcuuria andũ wa buti mĩrongo mũgwanja na ithano kũraiha na igũrũ ũrũgamĩtio nyũmba-inĩ ya Hamani. Araũthondekithĩtie nĩ ũndũ wa Moridekai, ũrĩa waririe ndeto cia gũteithia mũthamaki.” Mũthamaki akiuga atĩrĩ, “Mũcuuriei mũtĩ-inĩ ũcio!”
Pea pehē ʻe Hapona ko e tauhi fale ʻe tokotaha ʻi he ʻao ʻoe tuʻi, “Vakai foki, ko e tautauʻanga, ko e hanga ʻe teau hono māʻolunga, ʻaia naʻe ngaohi ʻe Hamani moʻo Motekiai, ʻaia naʻe lea lelei maʻae tuʻi, ʻoku tuʻu ʻi he fale ʻo Hamani.” Pea pehē ai ʻe he tuʻi, “Tautau ia ki ai.”
10 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio magĩcuuria Hamani mũtĩ-inĩ ũcio aathondekithĩtie nĩ ũndũ wa Moridekai. Hĩndĩ ĩyo mũthamaki agĩthirwo nĩ marakara.
Ko ia naʻa nau tautau ʻa Hamani ʻi he tautauʻanga naʻa ne teuteu moʻo Motekiai. Pea naʻe toki lolou ʻae houhau ʻita ʻae tuʻi.
