UModekhayi esekwazile konke okwenziweyo, uModekhayi wadabula izigqoko zakhe, wagqoka isaka lomlotha, waphuma wangena phakathi komuzi, wakhala ukukhala okukhulu lokubabayo,
2 Hianagi kini ne'mofo kuma agu'afina uofre'neanki, ana kuma kafante umani'ne. Na'ankure zamasunku kukenama hu'ne'naza vahe'mo'za kini ne'mofo kumapina uofregahaze.
weza waze waba phambi kwesango lenkosi, ngoba kwakungekho ongangena esangweni lenkosi egqoke isaka.
3 Hagi kini ne'mo'ma hiankemo'ma maka kumate'ma vuno eno'ma hige'za Jiu vahe'mo'zama nentahi'za, ne'zana a'o hu'za nemani'za tusi zavi krafa hu'naze. Rama'a vahe'mo'za zamasunku kukena antanite'za tanefa kate'za nefre'za mani'naze.
Lakuso sonke isabelo lesabelo, indawo lapho ilizwi lenkosi lomthetho okwakufika khona, kwaba lokulila okukhulu kumaJuda, lokuzila ukudla, lokukhala inyembezi, lokulila; amanengi alala emasakeni lemlotheni.
4 Hagi ana nanekema Esta eri'za mofa'nene, eri'za vene'ne'amo'zama eme nesmizageno'a, Esta'a tusi antahintahi huno ome ru emeru nehuno, kukena antentegeno vu'neanagi Modekai'a ana kukena ontani'ne.
Kwasekufika amantombazana kaEsta labathenwa bakhe bamtshela; indlovukazi yasidabuka kakhulu, yathumela izembatho zokugqokisa uModekhayi, lokususa kuye isaka lakhe, kodwa kazemukelanga.
5 Anante Esta'a, kini ne'mo'ma huntegeno'ma eme kegavama hunte'nea eri'za ne' Hatakina hunteno, Modekaia'ma zavi'ma netea zamofo agafa'a ome antahigenka ko hu'ne.
UEsta wasebiza uHathaki omunye wabathenwa benkosi eyayimmisele yena, wamlaya ngoModekhayi ukuthi azi ukuthi kuyini lokuthi kungani.
6 Higeno Hataki'a Modekaima rankuma amu'nompima kini ne'mofo kuma kafante'ma mani'nere vu'ne.
UHathaki wasephuma waya kuModekhayi egcekeni lomuzi elaliphambi kwesango lenkosi.
7 Anama huno vigeno'a Modekai'a maka zama agrite'ma fore'ma hu'nea zamofo nanekea nesmino, Jiu vahe'ma zamahesire'ma Hamani'ma mizama sesigeno kini ne'mofo feno nompima ome antesaza zagomofo kea asami'ne.
UModekhayi wamtshela konke okwenzeke kuye, lengcazelo yemali uHamani athi uzayilinganisela kokuligugu kwenkosi ngamaJuda ukuwachitha.
8 Ana nehuno Susa rankumapima mani'naza Jiu vahe'ma zamahe hana'ma hanaza avoma kre'naza avontafe'enena Hatakina nemino anage hu'ne, erinka ama avontafera vunka omeri ani hunka Estana asmigeno, Esta'a vahe'amota tagri tagira erino kini netera vuno tazama hanigura nanekea ome huranteno.
Wasemnika ikhophi yombhalo womthetho eyanikwa eShushani ukuwachitha ukuthi ayitshengise uEsta, lokuthi amtshele, lokuthi amlaye ukuthi angene enkosini, ukumncengela, lokucelela abantu bakibo phambi kwakhe.
9 Hagi Hataki'a Estante vuno Modekai'ma hiankea ome asmi'ne.
UHathaki wasesiza wamtshela uEsta amazwi kaModekhayi.
10 Higeno Esta'a Hatakina asmino, Amanage hunka Modekaina ome asmio.
UEsta wasekhuluma loHathaki, wamnika umlayo usiya kuModekhayi wokuthi:
11 Kini ne'mofo eri'za vahe'mo'o, kini ne'mo'ma kegavama hu'nea kumateti vemo'o a'mo'ma, kini ne'mo'ma kema osunenifima kenaku'ma agri nompima esaza vahe'mofona magoke kasegege'za me'ne. E'i ana vahera ahe frigahaze. Hagi anama umrenerinigeno kini ne'mo'ma gorire azota'ama rusute amisia vahe ahe ofrigahie. Hagi kini ne'mo'a nagrikura eme nago huno osige'na hago 30'a kna mani'noe.
Zonke inceku zenkosi labantu bezabelo zenkosi bayakwazi ukuthi, loba ngubani, owesilisa loba owesifazana, ongena esiya enkosini egumeni elingaphakathi, engabizwanga, kulomthetho owodwa ngaye wokumbulala, ngaphandle kokuthi inkosi imelulele intonga yobukhosi yegolide, ukuze aphile; kodwa mina kangibizwanga ukungena enkosini lezinsuku ezingamatshumi amathathu.
12 Hagi ana nanekea Modekaina ome asamizageno,
Basebemtshela uModekhayi amazwi kaEsta.
13 Modekai'a amanage huno kenona'a hu'ne. Kagra kini ne'mofo nompi mani'noankino mago zana navatera forera osugahie hunka kagesa ontahio. Maka Jiu vahe'motane kagri'enena tahe frigahaze.
UModekhayi wasesithi ephendula uEsta: Ungacabangi engqondweni yakho ukuthi uzaphepha endlini yenkosi okwedlula wonke amaJuda.
14 Hagi kagrama kema osuma mani'nankeno'a, Jiu vahe'ma zamazama hu'zamo'a ruregati egahie. Hianagi kagri'ene nagakanena otrekano tamino tahe vagaregahaze. Hagi kagra amanahu knafima tazama hananku kuinia mani'nane.
Ngoba uba uthula lokuthula ngalesisikhathi, usizo lenkululeko kuzamela amaJuda kuvela kwenye indawo, kodwa wena lendlu kayihlo lizabhubha. Ngubani kambe owaziyo ukuthi ufikile embusweni ngenxa yesikhathi esinje?
15 Anagema nentahino'a, Esta'a amanage huno Modekaina kenona hunte'ne,
UEsta wasesithi ephendula uModekhayi:
16 Vunka Susa rankumapima mani'naza Jiu vahetmina ome zamavare atru hunka kini ne'ma ome kesuazankura 3'a knafina ne'zane tinena a'o huta mani'neta kenage'ene feru'enena nunamuna hiho. Nagri'enema nemaniza mofa'neramine nagranena anazanke huta ne'zana a'o hu'neta nunamuna hugahune. Ana hute'na kasegemo'a i'o hu'neanagi, vanugeno'ma nahe frisiana ha nahe frisianki, kini netera vugahue.
Hamba ubuthanise wonke amaJuda atholakala eShushani, lingizilele ukudla, lingadli linganathi insuku ezintathu ubusuku lemini; lami lamantombazana ami sizazila ukudla ngokufananayo; ngokunjalo-ke ngizangena enkosini, okunganjengokomthetho; njalo uba ngibhubha, ngizabhubha.
17 Anage higeno Modekai'a vuno maka Estama huntea kante anteno ana ome hu'ne.
UModekhayi waseqhubeka wenza njengakho konke uEsta amlaye khona.
