Ngelanga lesithathu u-Esta wagqoka izembatho zakhe zobukhosi wema enkundleni engaphakathi kwesigodlo phambi kwendlu yenkosi. Inkosi yayihlezi esihlalweni sayo sobukhosi endlini yayo, ikhangele emnyango.
2 Hagi kini ne'mo'ma keama Esta'ma kafante'ma uotigeno negeno'a, muse hunenteno golire azotama azampima eri'neana rusute amigeno, Esta'a umrerino ana azota agonare avako hu'ne.
Yathi ibona iNdlovukazi u-Esta imi enkundleni, yathokoza ngaye, yasiselula intonga yayo yegolide eyayisesandleni sayo, yamkhomba ngayo. U-Esta wasesondela wathinta isihloko sentonga.
3 Higeno kini ne'mo'a antahigeno, Kuini a' Estaga na'anku kave'nesie? Na'anku nantahige'za nehane? Kegavama hu'noa mopama amu'nompinti'ma refko hunamio hunkama hananke'na amne anara hugahue.
Inkosi yasibuza yathi, “Kutheni Ndlovukazi Esta? Siyini isicelo sakho na? Uzanikwa loba yini, okungafika kungxenye yombuso.”
4 Hagi Esta'a kenona huno, Kini ne'moka musema hanunka, kagrane Hemani'enena kagri ne'zama retro'ma hunte'nore menina evi'o.
U-Esta wathi, “Nxa inkosi ithokoza ngalokhu, bengicela ukuthi inkosi kanye loHamani beze lamhla edilini engililungisele yona.”
5 Hagi kini ne'mo'a huno, Ame huta Hemanina avreta enketa Esta'ma hirega va'mneno. Hige'za Hemanima avre'za azageno kini ne'ene Hemanikea Esta'ma retro'ma hu'nea ne'za ome nenaku vu'na'e.
Inkosi yathi, “UHamani keze khathesi, ukuze kwenziwe okucelwa ngu-Esta.” Inkosi loHamani baya edilini elalilungiswe ngu-Esta.
6 Hagi ne'zama nete'za waini tima nenazageno'a, kini ne'mo'a Estankura huno, Nazankuroma nantahigesanke'na ana zana amne kamigahuanki nantahigo. Hagi kegavama hu'noa mopama amu'nompinti'ma refko hunamio hunkama hanankena, amne anara hugahue.
Kwathi besanatha iwayini, inkosi yambuza njalo u-Esta yathi, “Siyini isicelo sakho? Uzakukwamukeliswa. Kuyini okucelayo na? Uzanikwa loba yini okungafika kungxenye yombuso.”
7 Higeno Esta'a kenona huno, Nagra ama zanku kantahigegahue,
U-Esta waphendula wathi, “Isikhalazo sami lesicelo sami yilokhu:
8 kini ne'mokama kavesinantenka musema hunka kantahima ke'nuazama hunaku'ma hanunka, muse hugantaonki retro'ma hanua nezantera okina Hemanina avreta eke'na kini ne'mokama hana kerera kenona hugantaneno.
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.”
9 Hagi ana kna zupa Hamani'a tusi muse nehuno, agu'amo'a knare nehigeno vu'ne. Hianagi Modekaiama kini ne'mofo kuma kafante'ma mani'negeno ome negeno'a, tusi arimpa ahente'ne. Na'ankure Hamani'ma nevigeno'a, Modekaia'a rankva vahe'ma ne-egeno'ma nehiaza huno antri huge otinora ra agi omi'ne.
UHamani wasuka lapho mhlalokho ethabe kakhulukazi. Kodwa uthe ebona uModekhayi esesangweni lenkosi wananzelela ukuthi kamsukumeli loba ukutshengisa ukwesaba phambi kwakhe, wagcwalelana ngokumthukuthelela uModekhayi.
10 Hianagi Hamani'a arimpa he'zana eria amara osu agu'afi netreno, noma'arega vuno arone'aramine nenaro Zeresinena ome kehutru huno,
Kodwa wazibamba waya emzini wakhe, wabiza abangane bakhe ndawonye kanye loZereshi umkakhe,
11 fenoma ante'nea zanku'ene ne' mofavreramima ante'nea zanku'ene, kini ne'mo'ma ra agima amino eri'zampima avre onagamuma netreno, mago'a eri'za vahetmima zamagaterea zanku'ene ra agima eria zankura ome zamasami'ne.

12 Hagi Hemani'a huno, E'ikerompage mago'a eri'za vahera nezmatreno kuini a' Esta'a nagri'ene kini ne'ene kehigeta kini ne'mofo ne'zama retro'ma hu'nea nezantera vu'no'e. Ana nehuno oki'nena nagrike'za kea hu'neanki'na kini ne'ene vuta ne'zana ome negahu'e.
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.
13 Hianagi Jiu ne'ma Modekai'ma kini ne'mofo kuma kafante'ma mani'negenama negogeno'a, ana knare'zama hunante'nea zantmimo'a amnezankna nehie.
Kodwa konke lokhu akungisuthisi ikakhulu nxa ngilokhu ngibona umJuda loya onguModekhayi ehlezi esangweni lenkosi.”
14 Higeno Hemani rone'amo'zane nenaro Zeresi'ene amanage hu'za asmi'naze, Za'za'amo'a 22mita hu'nesia za'za zafa huge'za eri'za eme retru renesagenka, oki nanterana kini neku hugeno Modekaiana aheno hantino. Ana hanigenka muse nehunka, kini ne'enena vunka ne'zana ome negahane. Higeno Hemani'ma antahiana ana antahi'zamo'a knare higeno, za'za zafa retro hunte'ne.
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.
