Esta 5

1 A rana ta uku, Esta ta sanya rigunanta na sarauta, ta tafi ta tsaya a harabar fada, a gaban zaure sarki. Sarki yana zaune a kan gadon sarautarsa a zauren, yana fuskantar ƙofar shiga.

Pea ʻi heʻene hokosia hono tolu ʻoe ʻaho, naʻe ʻai ʻe Eseta hono ngaahi kofu ngalingali ʻeiki, pea tuʻu ia ʻi he fale ʻi loto ʻi he fale ʻoe tuʻi, ʻo hangatonu atu ki he fale ʻoe tuʻi: pea naʻe nofo ʻae tuʻi ki hono nofoʻa fakatuʻi, ʻi he fale fakatuʻi, ʻo hangatonu atu ki he matapā ʻoe fale.

2 Sa’ad da ya ga Sarauniya Esta tsaye a harabar, sai ya ji daɗin ganinta, ya miƙa mata sandan sarauta na zinariya da take hannunsa. Sai Esta ta matsa kusa ta taɓa kan sandan.

Pea naʻe pehē, ʻi he mamata ʻae tuʻi kia Eseta ko e tuʻi fefine ʻoku tuʻu ʻi he loto fale, naʻe maʻu ʻe ia ʻae ʻofa ʻi hono ʻao: pea mafao atu ʻe he tuʻi ʻae tokotoko koula kia Eseta ʻaia naʻe ʻi hono nima. Ko ia naʻe ʻunuʻunu atu ʻa Eseta, mo ne ala ki he ʻulu ʻoe tokotoko.

3 Sai sarki ya ce mata, “Me kike so, Sarauniya Esta? Mene ne roƙonki? Kai, ko rabin masarautata ce, za a ba ki.”

Pea naʻe pehē ai ʻe he tuʻi kia Eseta, “Ko e hā ʻoku ke kumi ʻe tuʻi fefine ko Eseta? Pea ko e hā haʻo kole? ʻE ʻatu ia kiate koe ʻo aʻu ki hono vaeuaʻanga ʻoe puleʻanga.”

4 Esta ta ce, “In ya gamshi sarki, bari sarki, tare da Haman su zo wurin liyafar da na shirya wa sarki yau.”

Pea naʻe pehē ʻe Eseta, “Kapau ʻoku mata lelei ki he tuʻi, tuku ke meʻa mai ʻae tuʻi mo Hamani ki he kātoanga, he ʻaho ni, ʻaia kuo u te u maʻana.”

5 Sai sarki ya ce, “Maza a kawo Haman don mu yi abin da Esta ta roƙa.” Saboda haka, sarki da Haman suka tafi liyafar da Esta ta shirya.

Pea naʻe pehē ai ʻe he tuʻi, “Fekau ke fakatoʻotoʻo ʻa Hamani, koeʻuhi ke fai ia ʻo hangē ko e tala ʻa Eseta. Ko ia naʻe ʻalu ai ʻae tuʻi mo Hamani ki he kātoanga naʻe teu ʻe Eseta.”

6 Yayinda suke shan ruwan inabi, sarki ya sāke ce wa Esta, “Yanzu, mece ce bukatarki? Za a biya miki shi. Kuma mene ne roƙonki? Kai, ko rabin masarautata ce, za a ba ki.”

Pea pehē ʻe he tuʻi kia Eseta ʻi he kātoanga inu uaine, “Ko e hā haʻo kole? pea ʻe tuku ia kiate koe: pea ko e hā hoʻo tala? ʻe fai ia, ʻio, ʻo aʻu ki hono vaeuaʻanga ʻoe puleʻanga.”

7 Esta ta amsa ta ce, “Bukatata da kuma roƙona shi ne,

Pea leaange ai ʻa Eseta, ʻo ne pehē, “Ko ʻeku kole, mo ʻeku tala eni:

8 in na sami tagomashi a wurin sarki, in kuma sarki ya yarda yă biya mini bukatata, yă kuma ji roƙona, bari sarki da Haman su zo gobe wurin liyafar da zan shirya musu. Sa’an nan zan amsa tambayar sarki.”

Kapau kuo u maʻu ʻae ʻofa ʻi he ʻao ʻoe tuʻi, pea kapau ʻoku lelei ki he tuʻi ke tuku kiate au ʻeku kole, pea ke fai ʻaia ʻoku ou tala, tuku ke haʻu ʻae tuʻi mo Hamani ki he kātoanga ʻaia te u teuteu moʻo kinaua, pea te u fai ʻapongipongi ʻo hangē ko ia kuo tala ʻe he tuʻi.”

9 Haman ya fita a ranan da murna, ya kuma ji daɗi. Amma sa’ad da ya ga Mordekai a bakin ƙofar sarki, ya kuma lura cewa bai tashi, ko yă nuna bangirma a gabansa ba, sai ya cika da fushi.

Pea naʻe ʻalu atu ʻa Hamani ʻi he fiefia mo e loto fiemālie ʻi he ʻaho ko ia: ka ʻi he mamata ʻa Hamani kia Motekiai ʻi he matapā ʻoe tuʻi, naʻe ʻikai tuʻu hake ia, pe ueʻi siʻi ia koeʻuhi ko ia, naʻe fonu ia ʻi he ʻita kia Motekiai.

10 Duk da haka, Haman ya cije, ya tafi gida. Sai ya kira abokansa da kuma matarsa, Zeresh,

Ka naʻe taʻofi ia ʻe Hamani: pea ʻi heʻene hoko ki hono fale, naʻa ne fekau ʻo ui ki hono ngaahi kāinga mo Selesi ko hono uaifi.

11 ya yi ta taƙama game da ɗumbun wadatarsa, da yawan’ya’yansa maza, da dukan yadda sarki ya girmama shi, ya kuma ɗaga shi bisan sauran hakimai da shugabanni.

Pea naʻe tala kiate kinautolu ʻe Hamani ʻae nāunau ʻo ʻene ngaahi koloa, mo hono tokolahi ʻo ʻene fānau, pea mo e ngaahi meʻa kehekehe, ʻaia naʻe fakahikihiki ai ia ʻe he tuʻi, pea mo ʻene fokotuʻu ia ke māʻolunga, ʻi he ngaahi houʻeiki kotoa pē mo e kau tamaioʻeiki ʻae tuʻi.

12 Haman ya ƙara da cewa, “Ba duka ke nan ba, kai, ni ne kaɗai mutumin da Sarauniya Esta ta gayyata yă tafi tare da sarki zuwa liyafar da ta shirya. Ta sāke gayyace ni tare da sarki gobe.

Pea naʻe pehē foki ʻe Hamani, “ʻIo, mo Eseta ko e tuʻi fefine naʻe ʻikai te ne tuku ke haʻu ha tangata ʻe taha mo e tuʻi ki he kātoanga maʻae tuʻi ka ko au pē: pea kuo toe tala kiate au foki fakataha mo e tuʻi kema ō kiate ia ʻapongipongi.

13 Amma dukan wannan bai biya mini bukata ba, muddin ina ganin wannan mutumin Yahudan nan Mordekai, yana zama a bakin ƙofar sarki.”

Ka ʻoku ʻikai ʻaonga ʻae ngaahi meʻa ni kotoa pē kiate au, lolotonga ʻeku kei mamata kia Motekiai ko e Siu ʻoku nofo ʻi he matapā ʻoe tuʻi.”

14 Matarsa Zeresh, da dukan abokansa suka ce masa, “Ka sa a gina wurin rataye mai laifi, mai tsawo, ƙafa saba’in da biyar, da safe kuwa ka ce wa sarki a rataye Mordekai a kansa. Sa’an nan ka tafi cin abincin dare tare da sarki da murna.” Wannan shawarar ta faranta wa Haman rai, ya kuma sa aka gina wurin rataye mai laifi.

Pea naʻe lea ʻa Selesi ko hono uaifi, mo hono ngaahi kāinga kotoa pē kiate ia, [ʻo pehē], “Tuku ke ngaohi ʻae ʻakau ko e tautauʻanga, ko e hanga ʻe teau ʻa hono māʻolunga, pea ke lea ʻe koe ki he tuʻi ʻapongipongi ke tautau ʻa Motekiai ki ai: pea ke toki ʻalu fakafiefia koe mo e tuʻi ki he kātoanga inu.” Pea naʻe fiemālie ʻa Hamani ʻi he meʻa ko ia pea naʻe fekau ʻe ia ke ngaohi ʻae tautauʻanga.
